we admit we are guilty. of amplifying the voices. insane people like this guy. hello, i m mike lindell. a guy like this is given a platform. we want to make sure. when you re watching fox news. it ll make you dumber. my slippers are back in stock. take us off teltelevision. before we allow these crooks to turn. our country into a. dump, a big, massive dump we ve done our part the context of that is probably the big massive dump what was trump talking about what s that i m curious about. keep it here. probably as close as we ll get to an apology from fox news. in fact, the network put out a defiant statement on another defamation lawsuit it is facing for airing false claims about election fraud we ll have much more on that in a moment plus, the supreme court delays a decision on the abortion pill. we ll take you through what s next in the very consequential case plus, more brazen acts of gun violence in america. this time, in maine
news they re going to be up there on their own. i would be shocked if they didn t have to declare bankruptcy. you re right. we just saw the judgment for dominion against fox news. dominion is also suing sidney powell, the first person in that clip, and rudy giuliani, the last person we saw in that clip. we saw how that went for fox i think you re absolutely right about that another point to make, rudy giuliani ended that comment by saying, we have the evidence to prove it. well, when given the chance to prove it in a court of law, he refused. he would make these claims on tv, then they d say, okay, what s the charge? well, i m not alleging anything, and wouldn t bring it to trial in a courtroom. it was easy things to say on tv to get people riled up when push came to shove, they wouldn t get into a court of law. meanwhile, fox remains full of bravado and defiant, despite what happened with dominion yesterday. fox news put out a statement quote, we will be ready to
that plaintiffs do in defamation cases before they file suit is they seek a retraction they reach out to the future defendant and say, we need you to retract the lies that you told about us in the same forum where you made them. in this case, it would have been live on fox and in some of the publi publications that bridge is already crossed before you ever file the lawsuit, right retraction is off the table. of course, it can come back on when you reach the negotiation stage, but it is pretty clear here for all the reasons we ve been laying out, that that was never going to happen as part of this case. something that i think is easy to miss, and it s a little unsatisfying because so many people hoped this lawsuit would bring about some vindication for the american public, this was always about the damages that dominion suffered. their lawyers were always going to advise them to take a settlement like this one that did a lot to make them whole and
they would have been able to get a settlement then. now, they ve just delayed it they re going to get hit again with another $800 $1 billion. you sit here wondering, who is in charge of legal strat segy or there? your global settlement proposal would have been an awfully smart approach because from the point that fox puts rupert murdoch up for a deposition, nothing good can happen in this case. really, the only issue is how much fox has to pay to make it go away and to make the pain stop with the drip, drip, drip of internal information. so i read smartmatic lawyers and the company s statemen yesterday, where they talked about what they would do t. they d complete the job dominion did. that s their opening bid in these damage negotiations. again, the only issue is how much money will fox end up paying it seems like a difficult strategy for a company that
we want to. they could have made them apologize. isn t that in negotiations, like, anything is possible anything is possible in negotiations, but there are also lines drawn in negotiations. joyce, i m sure from the very beginning, fox said, you know, we can talk numbers. maybe we ll get to numbers we re never going to apologize we don t care. we will burn the entire company down we cannot apologize because that will undermine our credibility to our viewers, which will undermine our ability to be able to make money on this network. so we ll talk numbers. we will never apologize. i think that is something that dominion obviously heard that message loud and clear yeah, a lot of people in the media would have loved to see that obviously, sometimes, in negotiations, there are lines that are drawn and say, we won t talk about this, but we ll give you $200 million more over here if that will make things easier. one of the traditional things
