Lots of big revelations coming out tonight in the exhibits to Dominion's lawsuit against Fox News.

Days before Jan. 6, Tucker Carlson wrote in a text message exchange about Trump: "I hate him passionately" and "I truly can't wait" to ignore him.
The exhibits include hot new details on the source of the Dominion hoax, a woman who believes herself a ghost who was "internally decapitated" in a car accident.

She claims Scalia was killed during a human hunting expedition, and advises Powell not to join that hunting club
The new Dominion exhibits include a text message exchange where Steve Bannon tries to recruit "depressed" Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo to run for Senate herself against Chuck Schumer.
In a text message released as part of the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News, Tucker Carlson describes QAnon believers as driven by "misdirected religious impulses."
New emails reveal how Fox talent melted down after FNC reporter Jacqui Heinrich pointed out on Twitter that the election wasn't stolen.

Hannity said he'd drop a "nuke" on her, while exec Irena Briganti fumed that Heinrich only told the truth bc she wants a job elsewhere.

This filing in the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News is one of the most remarkable documents I've ever seen. Filled with private texts between Fox stars like Hannity and Carlson, plus Murdoch, all admitting they knew Fox's stolen election claims were lies. int.nyt.com/data/documentt…
The texts show Fox trapped in a dilemma of its own making, afraid to admit the election was honest bc they'll lose viewers to Newsmax. Tucker rages and tries to get Fox reporter @JacquiHeinrich fired after she admits the election wasn't stolen.
Here's Rupert Murdoch telling Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott to focus on winning the GA Senate races for Republicans, "helping any way we can."

We have a big story today on Eliza Bleu, the self-proclaimed trafficking victim who's been embraced by Elon Musk and right-wing stars like Tim Pool.

Now Bleu's own friends say the details of her trafficking stories don't make sense.

Thread:

thedailybeast.com/eliza-bleus-ow…
Eliza Bleu has told grim stories of her life, claiming she was addicted to meth and forced to live in a gang-land apartment by a high profile athlete. But Bleu's former friends aren't buying it: “That is so not true. She lived in a really cute apartment." thedailybeast.com/eliza-bleus-ow…
Eliza Bleu's work as an advocate has been integral to Elon Musk's efforts to paint previous Twitter execs as soft on child abuse material. But Epstein survivors have been critical of her actions: "She clung to us all from out of nowhere."

There's a big feud breaking out tonight between two of the biggest names in right-wing media. It pits Steven Crowder against Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, all over a $50 million offer for Crowder that he found so offensive he leaked the terms of the offer.
Yesterday, Crowder—newly independent and trying to build his own media company—released the terms of the deal without naming DW. Crowder made this out to be a big whistleblower moment, urging his fans to fight "Big Con" (and join his email list, ofc).
Crowder focused on two parts of the offer: that he would lose money if he failed to deliver all of his contracted episodes, and that his money could be reduced if he was banned from YouTube or other platforms. He left out that this was over *$50 million* over 4 years.

Kanye's InfoWars appearance is starting off great. Image
There's an interesting thing going on with the Kanye saga where these hucksters with big personalities rightly see him as a clout bonanza, but he doesn't let anyone talk — to the extent that he started his InfoWars appearance yelling at people off-camera to stop talking.
That's a reasonable trade for dumpsters-divers like Milo and Fuentes, who's now left sitting silently on stage today with Kanye. But for people like Tim Pool and Alex Jones, they have their own stages already and get a bit restless, inevitably irritating Kanye.

QAnon believers say they're fighting a pedophile cabal.

Today, I've got a story on a leading Q promoter whose ill-advised defamation lawsuit against a local paper revealed his own criminal relationship and sexually charged text messages with a teenager.

thedailybeast.com/qanon-leader-p…
QAnon conspiracy theorist Phil Godlewski has made a lot of money from QAnon and a related multilevel marketing scheme. Earlier this year, he bought a house worth nearly $2 million. But Godlewski has a secret: a decade-old conviction for corrupting a minor. thedailybeast.com/qanon-leader-p…
Last year, Godlewski's local paper revealed his conviction. The conspiracy theorist sued, and it's been a disaster for him ever since, revealing a police report where he allegedly described in text messages having sex 4-5 times a day with an underage girl.

Kanye has stormed out of his Tim Pool interview tonight after just 20 minutes, after Pool offered him the slightest pushback to his anti-Semitism.
With Nick Fuentes, Milo, and Kanye calling off the interview and leaving the studio, Tim Pool is left to consider the ruins of his much-hyped show tonight: "It was all hype, and then all nothing.”
A Tim Pool associate comes on camera to confirm that Milo, Fuentes, and Kanye have left the Pool compound for good. She says Kanye was complaining that he didn't get to talk enough.
