- (2:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Why did Fox wait until the last minute to offer to settle the Dominion defamation suit? I was once in a media lawsuit involving tens of millions and I have a guess: Fox must have known there was SOMETHING WORSE. There must’ve been a text or an email or something discovered late in the game, worse than Carlson saying he hated Trump passionately, and they were willing to buy their way out of it.
- (11:18) THE CLARENCE THOMAS SCANDAL: So Mom is living rent-free, for LIFE, in the house the billionaire Republican activist bought from Clarence Thomas? And Harlan Crow’s next mistake? He gave a sit-down interview to a Dallas newspaper and a completely bald and unconvincing account of his friendship with Justice Thomas. Asked if he’d still be Thomas’s friend if he wasn’t on the Supreme Court, Crow answered that it was a great question and HE DIDN’T KNOW. Ask what they talk about and he mentioned ... his dog Otis.
- (17:46) YOU ENDORSED WHO? Florida Congressman Greg Steube with a teeny weeny little Freudian slip. For the presidential nomination he has endorsed Donald J. Chump.
(Possibly the funniest movie ever made.)

- (22:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: As was joked on Twitter: is Ron DeSantis trying to destroy Disney World because he’s not tall enough to go on the rides?
C-Block
- (32:14) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Elsa, in New York, and Near And Far Animal Foundation and Cuddly.com
- (33:35) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Speaking of the perversion of news that is Fox, I was there at the moment cable news went to hell in a hand basket. It was the night three of us (the others were the president of NBC News and the future president of MSNBC) found out that Princess Diana was dead.
That’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
