Media Matters has the transcript: Yesterday the FDA announced it’s planning to remove virtually all nicotine from cigarettes. Now nicotine is not the thing that gives you cancer.

Bloomberg News reports: Fox News’s parent company can be sued by a voting-machine maker because Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch may have acted with “actual malice” in directing the network to broadcast conspiracy theories alleging the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Donald Trump.

Media Matters has the transcript: Biden goes out and says, well, if you’re going out and you’re buying a yacht, it doesn’t help the economy a whole lot. And I’m like, Yes, it does. You want to know why? Because it takes a lot of people to build those multimillion-dollar yachts that the rich and famous hang out in all …

“This just seems to make Donald Trump look awful. Just awful. If you knowingly make statements you know aren’t true and they’re proven untrue and yet you still make the statements – maybe because you’re totally and personally convinced you’re on the right and they’re on the wrong – at what point does that cross a constitutional line and maybe …

Mediaite reports: Fox’s Maria Bartiromo asked Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz whether he would diagnose President Joe Biden with dementia during a Tuesday interview.

“It is not clear under the United States Constitution. It is not clear under the 12th Amendment what the responsibilities of the vice president of the United States are and how they are limited. “So to not have an opposition, to not have a legal challenge right there in the committee, to not challenge these witnesses, this is a railroad …

Davis Marcus writes for Fox News: In 1994, when then-mayor Rudy Giuliani began the transformation of crime and poverty ridden New York City, one of his first actions was to kick the porn theaters out of Times Square. It was not a minor policy, what he understood was that those coursing avenues are the public square, and porn was choking …

Media Matters reports: TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): So where does this leave the rest of us? Well, as long as selective enforcement of the law is the policy of the Biden administration, no American should feel obligated to follow Joe Biden’s gun regulations, because why would you? If the law is clearly illegitimate, it’s not even being applied to people who …

Media Matters has the transcript: TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): In Florida, the police can seize guns from people who pose a “significant danger” based on “any relevant evidence.” Huh. That’s it. Any relevant evidence. The law raises some obvious questions. The most obvious is if you can seize people’s guns without proving that they committed a crime, why can’t you imprison …

The Daily Beast reports: As some of then-President Donald Trump’s closest allies hit the exits after the violence of the Jan. 6 insurrection, longtime informal adviser and Fox News host Sean Hannity took a different approach: He tried to convince Trump that he could use his office to help heal some of the wounds from the insurrection. Hannity had proposed …

Media Matters has the transcript: TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Professional sports were a masculine domain. Any expression of masculine sensibility, the traditional masculine virtue is now illegal so the left just kind of came in and took over professional sports. That seems like what happened. CLAY TRAVIS (GUEST): You’re 100% right. Masculine virtues apparently include pretending that the Capitol riot was …

“Number one, you gotta accept the results of an election. Get your legal team out there. You go ahead and pursue it aggressively, responsibly. “And after that, when William Barr, your greatest ally turns around and said there is nothing there, when your MVP Mike Pence who has with you through every step of the way, says there is nothing …

“Above all, they lie about the reason that January 6th happened in the first place. And you know what it is — the entire country watched Joe Biden get what they claimed was 10 million more votes than Barack Obama himself. “Joe Biden got 10 million more votes than Barack Obama got? And a lot of those votes arrived after …

“Today police arrested 26-year-old Nicholas John Roske at 1:30 A.M. He was carrying a bag with a Glock 17, a tactical knife, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, a screwdriver, a nail punch, a crowbar. “Sounds like he wanted to take him out into the woods. Well, it came close to that until he got cold feet when he saw …

Media Matters has the transcript: For a year and a half, Democrats have searched for a smoking gun that would prove some sort of preplanned conspiracy to storm the Capitol. They haven’t found that because there wasn’t a preplanned conspiracy. So instead they’ve told us the crowd converged on the Capitol that day because their orange cult leader commanded them …

Mediaite reports: Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren’s attempt to raise up the specter of election fraud seemed to go sideways after the the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder corrected her claims about her voter registration status.

“When this is said and done, and God willing the Republicans take over the House, I want to know exactly how this committee conducted itself. “I wanna know exactly how this staff conducted themselves. And I wanna know if any of them have been exposed to lawsuits, or can be. “Any of them who violated anybody’s civil, due process, and …

“Few things obstruct the American people from hearing the truth more than Fox News’s cowardly decision not to broadcast Thursday’s hearing. After all of the false facts that Fox News has allowed to be put on the air by its commentators and everyone else, they have an obligation to show the true facts by allowing the hearing to be seen …

The Wrap reports: Fox News will be the only major news network not to air the entire Jan. 6 Committee hearings live, and instead will provide its own coverage “as warranted” through the filter of its regular prime-time programs and hosts, the network said Monday.
