Tonight on The Readout.

Today represents a ringing endorsement for truth and for democracy.

I'll have brand the broken.

First of his name, King of the Andals and the First Men.

Not since Game of Thrones had we seen such an anticlimactic ending.

Late today, Dominion Voting Systems agreed to settle its defamation lawsuit against Fox,

Also tonight, Ralph Yarls ought to join me.

He's the Missouri team shot after approaching the wrong house,

and now criminal charges have been filed against the man accused of shooting him.

And Ron DeSantis is not done with his absurd war with his state's top employer, Disney.

Amid signs his presidential campaign is imploding before it even officially begins.

But we begin tonight, we begin The Readout tonight with a common game show dilemma, like on Wheel of Fortune.

You know, if you can solve the puzzle, right?

Do you do so and take the money in front of you or do you spin the wheel for the chance to get more, but potentially lose it all?

agreeing to settle their defamation lawsuit against Fox on what was both the first and the last day of what was supposed to be a blockbuster trial.

And in the end, they opted to take less than half of the $1.6 billion they were seeking.

Lies have consequences.

Over two years ago, a torrent of lies swept Dominion and election officials across America into an alternative universe of conspiracy theories causing grievous harm to Dominion and the country.

Today represents a ringing endorsement for truth and for democracy.
