| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Before we get started, I just want to encourage everyone here to watch the select |
| 0:06.2 | committee on January 6th hearings that start tonight and will continue over the next few weeks. |
| 0:11.3 | I think it is an important historical record of one of the worst days in our country's history. |
| 0:17.1 | And I think it's important that you are able to see for yourselves just what happened on that day. |
| 0:22.2 | Who was responsible and that you can share that information with your friends and your family and |
| 0:27.4 | your colleagues when they say none of it matters. Every bit of it matters. I hope you'll tune in. |
| 0:33.0 | I hope you'll find all of our content. Ask us questions. And now on with the show. |
| 0:45.8 | Welcome back to the Lincoln Project. I'm your host, Rhee Gailan. Today, I'm joined by Stuart Stevens, |

| 0:58.4 | Stuart, welcome back. Great to be here, Rhee. Thanks for asking. |

| 1:16.8 | that first hearing. But first, I want to start with what Fox and the right wing media apparatus is doing |
| 1:22.8 | vis-a-vis these hearings. So Stuart, for the first time in as many years as I can remember, |
| 1:28.7 | the January 6th hearings are going to be covered by actual networks. Not their news affiliates, |
| 1:33.3 | not their streaming affiliates, ABC, CBS, NBC, along with CNN, NBC. However, Fox News will not |
| 1:40.5 | be covering the hearings. They've elected to air their standard primetime lineup Tucker Carlson, |
| 1:45.3 | Hannity, Laura Ingram, who've all attacked the committee's investigation on countless occasions, |
| 1:50.6 | despite many of their text messages desperately asking Donald Trump on that day to stop what they |
| 1:55.2 | were seeing. Now, this doesn't come as any surprise, they think to you or me, because we know that |
