SECOND, DESTROY DEMOCRACY.
1:07
THE NETWORK LOSES MONEY AT

FIRST, BUT THEN BECOMES A
1:11
BIGGER AND BIGGER PROFIT CENTER
1:12
FOR CITIZEN MURDOCH AND ADDS
1:15
BILLIONS TO HIS WEALTH.
1:18
CITIZEN MURDOCH USES HIS
1:19
NETWORK IN ORDER TO ELECT THE
1:22
STUPIDEST AND MOST CRIMINAL
1:23
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
1:25
IN HISTORY.
1:27
ACT THREE, THE CRIMINAL
1:29
PRESIDENT LOSES HIS REELECTION
1:31
CAMPAIGN, AND FEDERAL STATE AND
1:33
LOCAL PROSECUTORS CLOSE IN ON

1:36
AT AGE 90, ONE CITIZEN MURDOCH
1:39
COMPLETES HIS THEIR DIVORCE,
1:42
THIS TIME FROM THE SECOND WOMAN,
1:43
WHO MICK JAGGER DIVORCED 24
1:45
YEARS EARLIER, AND IT IS
1:47
AVAILABLE NOW TO PLAY HERSELF.
1:48
THE DEFENDERS OF DEMOCRACY,
1:50
FINALLY GETTING CITIZEN
1:53
MURDOCH CORNERED, AND FORCE
1:54
HIM TO ADMIT UNDER OATH, WEEKS
1:58
BEFORE HIS 92ND BIRTHDAY, THAT
2:02
WHAT HIS NETWORK IS FORCE
2:05
FEEDING ITS VIEWERS WAS
2:06
BULLSHIT AND DAMAGING.
2:09
WHEN ASKED WHY HE DID NOT STOP,
2:15
SADNESS AND MURDOCH SAID, I
2:17
COULD HAVE.
2:17
BUT I DID NOT.
2:22
THE END.
2:23
ALL OF THE DIALOGUE YOU JUST
2:25
HEARD APPEARS IN THE REDACTED
2:26
PUBLIC WHERE JEAN OF A BRIEF
2:28
FILED BY THE DOMINION VOTING
2:30
SYSTEM CORPORATION, IN HIS
2:32
LAWSUIT AGAINST FOX CORPORATION
2:34
FOR DEFAMATION, BECAUSE RUPERT
2:37
MURDOCH'S FOX NETWORK PUMPED
2:38
OUT A STEADY STREAM OF LIES
2:41
ABOUT DOMINION VOTING MACHINES,
2:42
IN THE OVERALL CAMPAIGN OF LIES
2:44
THAT DONALD TRUMP AND FOX WAGED
2:46
IN THEIR JOINT ATTEMPT TO
2:49
DESTROY AMERICAN DEMOCRACY AND
2:51
KEEP DONALD TRUMP IN THE WHITE
2:52
HOUSE, EVEN THOUGH HE HAD LOST
2:53
HIS ELECTION.
2:56
I COULD HAVE, BUT I DIDN'T.
2:58
THAT IS THE KIND OF ADMISSION
3:04
IT LAWYERS DREAM ABOUT.
3:05
RUPERT MURDOCH, TESTIFYING
3:08
UNDER OATH BY LAWYERS.
3:10
WHEN ASKED WHY HE DID NOT STOP
3:11
THE LIES ABOUT DOMINION, THE
3:14
LAWSUIT IS ABOUT, SAID I COULD
3:18
HAVE, BUT I DID NOT.
3:21
IN ANY OTHER CIVIL CASE, THAT
3:23
WOULD BE AN ADMISSION OF
3:24
LIABILITY THAT THE DEFENDANT
3:26
COULD NOT SURVIVE.
3:27
BUT WITH THAT ADMISSION UNDER
3:30
OATH, THE ONLY THING STANDING
3:32
HERE BETWEEN RUPERT MURDOCH AND
3:33
THE BILLION DOLLAR JUDGMENT
3:35
AGAINST HIM IN COURT, IT'S THE
3:38
FIRST AMENDMENT.
3:38
FOX DEFENSE SO FAR, IT RESTS
3:42
ENTIRELY ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT
3:43
JOURNALISTIC PRINCIPLE THAT
3:45
WHAT DONALD TRUMP WAS SAYING
3:46
ABOUT THE ELECTION WAS
3:46
NEWSWORTHY, AND FOX HAD A FIRST
3:49
AMENDMENT RIGHT TO COVER IT
3:50
UNCRITICALLY.
3:52
DOMINION NEEDS TO PROVE THAT
3:53
RUPERT MURDOCH AND FOX
3:56
EXECUTIVES, IN THE FOX
3:57
ENTERTAINERS, ON TELEVISION,
3:59
THEY KNEW IT WAS ALL A LIE, AND
4:01
THEY PUSHED IT ANYWAYS.
4:04
DOMINION HAS TAKEN THE
4:05
DISCOVERY PROCESS A LONG WAY TO
4:07
PROVING THAT EVERYBODY AT FOX
4:10
KNEW THAT IT WAS A LIE.
4:12
THE MINIONS FILING TODAY, AS
4:15
WE'VE LEARNED, THE FOX LAWYERS
4:17
WERE WORRIED ABOUT SEAN HANNITY
4:19
SAYING THAT IT WILL BE
4:20
IMPOSSIBLE TO EVER KNOW THE
4:21
TRUE, FAIR, ACCURATE ELECTION
4:23
RESULTS.
4:23
THAT IS A FACT.
4:24
ON NOVEMBER 5TH, THE FOX NEWS
4:27
LAWYER EMAILED THAT HE IS
4:29
GETTING AWFULLY CLOSE TO THE
4:31
LINE WITH HIS COMMENTARY, AND
4:32
GUESTS TONIGHT.
4:33
THAT SAME LAWYER WAS ASKED IN A
4:36
DEPOSITION, SHOULD FOX
4:37
BROADCAST ELECTION FRAUD
4:38
ALLEGATIONS?
4:39
THAT IT KNOWS TO BE FALSE, THE
4:41
ANSWER IS NO.
4:42
THE FOX EXECUTIVE ASKED IN A
4:44
DEPOSITION, DO YOU THINK THAT
4:45
FOX HAS AN OBLIGATION NOT TO
4:47
BROADCAST FALSE CLAIMS TO ITS
4:49
AUDIENCE, ANSWER IS YES.
4:51
THE MINIONS FILING REVIEWED HOW
4:53
FOX, WHICH HAS ABSOLUTELY NO
4:56
RELATIONSHIP TO THE NEWS
4:57
BUSINESS, ILLICITLY AND
5:00
SECRETLY HELPED THE TRUMP
5:03
CAMPAIGN BY REVEALING
5:05
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION ABOUT
5:06
THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN'S TV
5:10
ADVERTISEMENT.
5:10
DURING TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN, RUPERT
5:13
PROVIDED TRUMP'S SON-IN-LAW,
5:15
AND SENIOR ADVISER JARED
5:17
KUSHNER WITH FOX CONFIDENTIAL
5:19
INFORMATION ABOUT BIDEN'S ADS,
5:21
ALONG WITH DEBATE STRATEGY
5:23
PROVIDING KUSHNER A PREVIEW OF
5:26
BIDEN'S ADS BEFORE THEY WERE
5:27
PUBLIC.
5:28
THE DEAN FILING SHOWS THAT
5:30
RUPERT MURDOCH NEVER BELIEVED
5:33
THAT THERE WAS THIS SLIGHTEST
5:34
OF IRREGULARITIES IN THE 2020
5:36
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
5:37
IN DECEMBER 2020, THE DOMINION
5:40
FILING SHOWS THAT FORMER
5:42
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE PAUL RYAN,
5:43
NOW A BOARD MEMBER AT FOX, HE
5:47
TEXTED RUPERT MURDOCH AND HIS
5:49
AIR APPARENT, THAT DONALD TRUMP,
5:52
HAS QUOTE, ACTUALLY CONVINCED
5:55
HIMSELF OF THIS FARCE, IT WILL
5:58
DO MORE BIZARRE THINGS IN ORDER
6:00
TO DELEGITIMIZED THE ELECT
6:01
ELECTION, I SEE THIS AS A KEY
6:03
INFLECTION POINT FOR FOX, WHERE
6:05
THE RIGHT THING AND SMART
6:07
BUSINESS THING TO DO LINEUP
6:09
NICELY.
6:10
HE CALLED FOR FOX TO PUT FORTH
6:11
THE SOLID PUSHBACK, INCLUDING
6:13
EDITORIAL OF TRUMP'S BASELESS
6:15
CALLS TO OVERTURN ELECTORS.
6:17
AFTER RECEIVING THAT TEXT,
6:19
RUPERT MURDOCH WROTE TO HIS SON,
6:21
CALL ME LATER, TRUMP AND PAUL,
6:24
TRUMP ON SATURDAY SOUNDS REALLY
6:25
CRAZY.
6:28
TWO DAYS AFTER THE JANUARY 6TH
6:30
ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL,
6:32
PRESIDENT PATH, THE SHOW
6:34
EXECUTIVE WHO HAD WORKED FOR
6:35
RUPERT MURDOCH IN THE
6:36
ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS, ON PAGE
6:39
13 OF THE FILING, QUOTE, SENT
6:42
RUPERT AN ARTICLE FROM THE
6:44
WASHINGTON POST, STATING THAT
6:45
THE PROBE TRUMP MEDIA WORLD
6:48
PEDDLED THE LIES THAT FUELED
6:50
THE CAPITAL MOB, FOX NEWS HAD
6:52
NOT FOLLOWED UP WITH THE EMAIL
6:54
STATING, I DO THINK THAT FOX
6:56
NEWS NEEDS A COURSE CORRECTION.
6:57
RUPERT RESPONDED, FOX NEWS,
7:00
VERY BUSY PIVOTING.
7:03
WE WANT TO MAKE TRUMP A
7:04
NON-PERSON.
7:06
MAKE TRUMP A NON-PERSON.
7:10
AND THERE, RIGHT THERE, THE
7:14
MOVIE CITIZEN MURDOCH STORMS
7:18
INTO THE MOVIE FRANKENSTEIN,
7:19
WHERE HE HAS CREATED THE
7:22
MONSTER THAT HE CAN NO LONGER
7:25
CONTROL, AND WANTS TO MAKE A
7:27
NON-PERSON.
7:28
BUT HE CAN'T BE CAUGHT BY HIS
7:30
TRUMP LOVING AUDIENCE IN HIS
7:33
EFFORT TO MAKE TRUMP A
7:35
NON-PERSON.
7:35
AS HE MAKES CLEAR, IN A LATER
7:38
EMAIL TO HIS SON, SAYING QUOTE,
7:42
FOX NEWS, WHICH CALLED THE
7:43
ELECTION CORRECTLY, IS PIVOTING
7:45
AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
7:47
WE HAVE TO LEAD OUR VIEWERS,
7:48
JUST NOT AS EASY AS IT MIGHT
7:50
SEEM.
7:51
HE SPENT DECADES OBJECTING
7:55
POISON INTO HIS VIEWERS, POISON
7:58
THAT HE REFUSED TO TAKE HIMSELF,
8:01
AND WHEN HE WANTED TO NUDGE HIS
8:03
VIEWERS AWAY FROM TRUMP, HE DID
8:06
NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
8:09
AND HE DID NOT BLAME ANY OF HIS
8:12
PRIMETIME ENTERTAINERS FOR NOT
8:14
EVEN TRYING TO.
8:15
IN AN EMAIL TO PAUL RYAN AFTER
8:18
THAT JANUARY 6TH ATTACK ON THE
8:19
CAPITOL, HE SAID THAT IT WAS,
8:22
QUOTE, THE WAKE UP CALL FOR
8:23
HANNITY, WHO HAS BEEN PRIVATELY
8:26
DISGUSTED BY TRUMP FOR WEEKS,
8:29
BUT WAS SCARED TO LOSE VIEWERS.
8:31
AND SO THERE IS RUPERT MURDOCH,
8:33
HIS BOSS, THE OWNER OF SEAN
8:34
HANNITY'S MICROPHONE, SAYING
8:39
THAT SEAN HANNITY HAS BEEN
8:40
PRIVATELY DISGUSTED BY TRUMP
8:43
FOR WEEKS.
8:44
ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING THAT, AS
8:46
SEAN HANNITY HAS BEEN WILDLY
8:48
LYING TO HIS AUDIENCE ABOUT
8:50
TRUMP FOR WEEKS, PRIVATELY
8:52
DISGUSTED.
8:54
SEAN HANNITY?
8:55
PRIVATELY?
8:56
JOHN HANNITY PLAYS A DISGUSTED
8:59
GUY ON TV, EVERY SINGLE NIGHT
9:01
HAD HIS LIFE.
9:01
HE PLAYS A GUY DISGUSTED BY
9:03
SOMETHING, OR EVERYTHING.
9:05
ON THE LEFT SIDE OF AMERICAN
9:08
POLITICS, DISCUSSED IN SEAN
9:10
HANNITY'S BRAND.
9:12
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT SEAN
9:15
HANNITY HAD THE BASIC HUMAN
9:17
DECENCY TO BE DISGUSTED BY
9:18
DONALD TRUMP.
9:19
THE BAD NEWS IS THAT RUPERT
9:22
MURDOCH BUILT THE PROPAGANDA
9:24
MACHINE IN WHICH HE AND SEAN
9:27
HANNITY COULD GET VERY RICH.
9:31
AS LONG AS THEY ONLY PRIVATELY
9:33
WERE DISGUSTED BY DONALD TRUMP.
9:36
IT'S THE SAME THING WITH TUCKER
9:38
CARLSON, WHO WAS SHOWN IN A
9:39
PREVIOUS DOMINION FILING TO BEG
9:44
THE THEN MORE POWERFUL, HIGHER
9:45
RATED SEAN HANNITY, TO GET A
9:48
FOX REPORTER FIRED FOR
9:50
ACCURATELY FACT CHECKING DONALD
9:52
TRUMP IN A TWEET.
9:53
FIRING, FIRING WAS THE VERY
9:58
FIRST IMPULSE FOR THE BORNE
10:00
RICH TUCKER CARLSON, WHO NOW
10:02
SEES TENS OF MILLIONS OF
10:04
DOLLARS LYING TO FOX VIEWERS
10:06
EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
10:07
ESPECIALLY ABOUT HIS PERSONAL
10:10
DISCUSSED FOR DONALD TRUMP.
10:12
THE TUCKER CARLSON, WHO HAS
10:15
NEVER HAD A DAY OF FINANCIAL
10:16
STRUGGLE IN HIS LIFE, THAT SAME
10:20
TUCKER CARLSON, HE HAD A FIRST
10:22
IMPULSE OF FIRING A REPORTER
10:24
WHO, IN HER LIFETIME, WILL NOT
10:26
EARN THE INCOME THAT TUCKER
10:28
CARLSON GETS IN A YEAR OF LYING
10:31
FOR RUPERT MURDOCH'S
10:34
MONSTROSITY THAT IS NOW BEING
10:36
EXPOSED.
10:38
BY THE DOMINION LAWSUIT.
10:41
IN HIS DEPOSITION, RUPERT
10:43
MURDOCH WAS ASKED, WHAT SHOULD
10:45
THE CONSEQUENCES BE WHEN FOX
10:46
NEWS EXECUTIVES KNOWINGLY ALLOW
10:48
LIES TO BE BROADCAST?
10:50
THE ANSWER, THEY SHOULD BE
10:51
REPRIMANDED.
10:52
THEY SHOULD BE REPRIMANDED,
10:53
MAYBE GOTTEN RID OF.
10:55
RUPERT MURDOCH IS THE TOP
10:59
EXECUTIVE IN THAT COMPANY.
11:00
HE KNOWINGLY ALLOWED LIES TO BE
11:04
BROADCAST BY THE RUPERT RULE.
11:07
HE SHOULD BE REPRIMANDED.
11:09
AND MAYBE GOTTEN RID OF.
11:13
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THAT WILL
11:15
NEVER HAPPEN, BECAUSE AS
11:16
EVERYBODY THAT WORKS IN, THAT
11:20
TEMPLE OF LIES KNOWS, RUPERT'S
11:23
RULES DO NOT APPLY TO CITIZEN MURDOCH.
