Mar 19, 2024
Good evening from New York, I'm Chris Hayes and we now have hundreds of pages of new evidence in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation law

suit

against Fox News. Now these documents that we've been looking at and that are just fascinating in their own right are also packed. of revelations about Fox deliberately spreading lies to its viewers in the wake of the 2020 election result in the lies that led to the country's first violent transition of power since Fort Sumter, but at the center of it all There's a core base of deception that there's two-faced Fox News, a large swath of right-wing professional Republicans, professional conservatives, they say one thing about Donald Trump in public, oh, he's the best, oh, the greatest, and something else in private, I hate, the guy can't stand it, how crazy has he been one of Honestly, the defining characteristics are almost a cliché of this maddening era for those of us who have been from the beginning shouting from the rooftops, are you joking?

No, that guy is corrupt, he's almost certainly a criminal who shouldn't be anywhere near the levers of power, obviously, now he's back. In 2016, just as Trump was campaigning for president for the first time, there were many people on the right who spoke out publicly against Trump. One of his most honest critics was Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. The conclusion is that I believe. Donald Trump would be an absolute disaster for the poor Republican party. Destroy conservatism as we know it, we would be wiped out and it would take generations to overcome a Trump candidacy.

Once it became clear that Trump was going to win the nomination, everyone changed their tune more. or less Lindsey Graham became Donald Trump's golf buddy, all the criticism then, but he moved behind closed doors and in anonymous quotes and in the middle of all this fox presented

himself

as the honest loyalists, the people who would never speak well with another president, they were not those rhinos and the establishment spoke badly of Trump behind closed doors, no, they were the true authentic tribune for the people, the Maga voke, that was the role that Fox special hosts like Tucker Carlson Sean Hannity played for your audience.

I reflect you, I am with you. I'm not with those people over there who talk bad about them behind closed doors, but of course, even those who were putting themselves in this opposition role, right, you, I, I'm with you, not with them, what were they doing in private? I Never Guess We see evidence of this over and over again in Dominion's documents as it ordered Fox to push pro-Trumps on the air to please its viewers and elect shareholders. The same man as the president of the major news corporation, Rupert Murdoch, said Trump seemed, quote, increasingly angry.

If the president apparently wasn't sleeping and bouncing off the walls now he just backed off for a moment right, my job for much of the last uh, what are we going on here? eight years has been coming before you and trying to come up with new ways of saying what are we doing here Donald Trump dangerous office rocker Reckless irresponsible guy doesn't know what he's talking about and here's Rupert Murdoch, that guy at the top, the guy who runs the largest conservative media outlet in the world, in his emails basically says the same thing. Summarizing perfectly, this guy whose organizations spent years defending Donald Trump and not just attacking people like me and us and anyone who just tells the honest truth. , that not even the ideological truth, just the obvious in front of your face, the truth, here is Rupert Murdoch.
Behind closed doors, in a private email, calling Trump angrier and angrier, notice what the adverbs do there, he was angry before but he's getting angrier and angrier, but it actually only got worse from there after the attack to the Capitol on Jan. 6, Murdoch wrote in a private email. The news was busy spinning the quote: We want to make Trump a non-person. I mean, honestly, even that's a bit not in person. I don't want the drunk to be a non-person. I just want to have nothing to do with anything important too. In January 2021, as Joe Biden's inauguration approached, Tucker Carlson wrote a private text message about his relief.
We're very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights, he admitted one quote: I really can't wait, which, by the way, is something that's relatable. adding I Hate Him Passionately again, this is the same guy who spent months stoking Donald Trump's lies about election fraud to his audience of millions and calling out people who would say things about Trump like I Hate Him Passionately, alien haters, reason and these new documents are the The Dominion case tells us what happened one of the only times that Carlson tried to spread something closer to the truth, at the end of November 2020 he dared to question the credibility of Trumper Sydney Powell, who played a key role in spreading lies about election fraud. millions of votes stolen in one day democracy destroyed the end of our century-old system of self-government, but he never sent us any evidence despite many requests, polite requests, not one page. when we kept pushing she got angry and told us to stop contacting her a few days later in response to the praise from that segment because again, all these people are Ascension praising that segment from fellow Fox host Laura Ingram Tucker wrote thank you, She's crazy like you said. at first it totally ruined my weekend wow, well that's a bummer.
Ingram responded citing why he ruined your weekend. Tucker explained that it was a total storm that was worth it for many of our viewers. I had to try to get the White House to disown her, which obviously I should have done long before I wanted you to trace the causality of this whole thing because it's really telling now that we know or seem to know that Tucker was successful that weekend, it certainly seems that is an attempt to get the White House to repudiate Sidney Powell over that weekend. weekend that tanked because that Sunday night the Trump campaign released this very strange and inscrutable statement that they had cut ties with her.
Trump's personal letter. Rudy Giuliani's campaign. Lord Janet Ellis made this very clear writing in a statement quote. Sydney Powell is practicing law on her behalf. which in itself is absurd, she is not, she is not a member of Trump's legal

team

, she is not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity now, at the time that statement that came out made us all assume that, well, the banana claims that Sydney Powell was making had finally gone too far even for Trump and the Trump campaign, but we now know that in fact Tucker Carlson pressured them to say all that because he questioned Powell and his viewers hated him for it.
Tucker was trying to save

himself

from losing her audience, that was the key goal, could you tell them that she is not associated with you so they don't get mad at me? This is what makes the whole machine tick at the heart of what we now know Fox did thanks to all this evidence. They knowingly broadcast lies about Donald Trump losing to keep his audience happy to keep the ratings up so the money would keep coming in while badmouthing Donald Trump behind his back.
