parties that were supposed to. they agreed on these things. one party thought there was an agreement about somethin.g tho the other, the other didn t. so the thing proverbially fell apar othert. now they have three, four,to six weeks to try to work out a deal. i would imagin out ae that huntn biden is going to work it. we re going to work a deal out even if it s narrowlwly on ty o two issues. and what we did learn alsode is that he s underr in investigation still, that investigation, the investigation investigations have not ended. so, jesse, to the pointome you re makinin mg, it might very well be that they that that those matters are continuingre to be continue to being investigated. now, i do think what happened with president. serump yesterday is a serious issue frorim the standpoint what s the old saying? it s not the crime, but the cover up. and if indeer upd allegation is true, this is a problem. now, i ve said all along alsa po are innocent in our country until proven guilty.

you. you are there today. there s a lot of suspens during this pause. i don t think the announcement is shocking anyone how did they not do this sooner? what is your take away fro this announcement? in effect, they did settle i think it s not shocking but it is disappointing. there s been so much evidenc already unveiled through the course of this process about the utter cynicism and contemp with which fox news treated it audience and its journalisti responsibility there was a hope that a lo more would come out. to be honest, i was really curious about how fox wa possibly going to defend itself because the judge had really shut off every avenue of argumentation you could imagin fox news making. they were going to try to argu that they were reporting o newsworthy allegations by th president and his attorney the judge said he cannot d that did judge already rule that fo news aired defamator falsehoods the only thing we were arguing about was whether in airin those defamatory falsehoods
