| 0:00.0 | Wow, Fox News and Dominion voting systems have settled Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation |
| 0:24.8 | suit against Fox News. They have settled that it's $787 million just as the trial was starting. |
| 0:33.7 | This will require and did require Fox News in writing to concede that they got some things wrong, |
| 0:41.2 | AKA lied, but it will not require them to make on air apologies and we're going to talk about |
| 0:48.2 | that. Now as we talked about yesterday and the news yesterday was there is not going to be a settlement |
| 0:53.6 | with minutes of that episode going live. They reached a settlement. What we talked about yesterday |
| 0:58.9 | was the to some degree lose, lose aspect to this for Fox News. If you settle it, you're admitting |

| 1:52.4 | million to settle the Dominion false election claims case. Fox has admitted to telling lies |
| 1:59.6 | said the voting systems CEO, the Delaware Superior Court judge Eric Davis overseeing the case |
| 2:07.5 | made an announcement that quote, the parties have resolved their case offering no additional |
| 2:12.9 | details. News of the set a settlement was strategically made public right before Wall Street |
| 2:19.3 | ceased trading for the day. It is going to be $787 million, $787 and a half million in fact, |
