stays on top. tucker was right about one thing, it is insane, quote unquote. and it s clear that on this set of stories, you re not going to get his honest views by watching his broadcast or by listening to him in public. apparently getting a lawsuit or subpoena to claw out the truth. some of these truths cannot be buried. they may cost fox news far more than the shows spouting election lies ever made in advertising, which is one way the court s patrol the outer limits on defamation in your business society. now, we put this together for you tonight because i can only tell you what i think and what we learn from the evidence, which shows the truth still matters. one proof point of that is how far so many powerful people will go to hide the truth, because they re worried in the long run it will have real world impacts, that you and others will hear about it and act on it. as long as these cases go, the

about this. but i think that the content so far is of a nature that i don t think it makes very much difference, and a judge wouldn t remove it from the venue where it is in fulton county to any other place. understood, and we wanted to get into that and both the complexity of that. as you say, anyone could be a former president, former government official, anyone indicted can raise anything, including whether they think this was somehow prejudicial to the jury pool. it s a big one, big breakthrough. appreciate you joining us. we have a lot more ahead. we ll come back to the story if we get breaking news. we have jen psaki on the show with an announcement, and this emerging gop internal clash. but first, i really want to you stay with me for this. we have been working on the beat on something for a few days, and we are going to air it tonight. it s a fact check of tucker v. tucker, but it s something more. it s about why you re not allowed to lie people into an insurrection in
