RUSH TRANSCRIPT There is ░░░░░░░░ of Epps from the ░░░░░░░░ before the attack encouraging ░░░░░░░░ crowd to enter the ░░░░░░░░ While he was present ░░░░░░░░ January 6th did not ░░░░░░░░ the Capitol himself and ░░░░░░░░ other protesters not to ░░░░░░░░ violent Because DoJ has ░░░░░░░░ charged Epps Carlson began ░░░░░░░░ claim that he was ░░░░░░░░ government plant repeatedly saying ░░░░░░░░ his prime time show ░░░░░░░░ Epps was in cahoots ░░░░░░░░ the feds Joining me ░░░░░░░░ is New York Times ░░░░░░░░ and MSNBC contributor Jeremy ░░░░░░░░ so what is Epps ░░░░░░░░ suing over what s ░░░░░░░░ claiming This really could ░░░░░░░░ Katy fox s next ░░░░░░░░ style defamation suit because ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Carlson said about ░░░░░░░░ Epps over the course ░░░░░░░░ 18 months was demonstrably ░░░░░░░░ He s claimed that ░░░░░░░░ Epps was a secret ░░░░░░░░ agent that he incited ░░░░░░░░ January 6th riots to ░░░░░░░░ Trump supporters and make ░░░░░░░░ look stupid and none ░░░░░░░░ that of course was ░░░░░░░░ This idea that there ░░░░░░░░ this government plant in ░░░░░░░░ crowd on January 6th ░░░░░░░░ primarily from Tucker Carlson ░░░░░░░░ it caught wind and ░░░░░░░░ traction on the right ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Carlson So there ░░░░░░░░ a very clear cut ░░░░░░░░ according to the defamation ░░░░░░░░ I have spoken to ░░░░░░░░ really you can make ░░░░░░░░ that Tucker Carlson essentially ░░░░░░░░ this guy claimed that ░░░░░░░░ was some type of ░░░░░░░░ plant and none of ░░░░░░░░ was true He said ░░░░░░░░ multiple times on the ░░░░░░░░ unlike what we saw ░░░░░░░░ dominion Carlson was agenda ░░░░░░░░ a loft dominion claims ░░░░░░░░ this case he plays ░░░░░░░░ much more direct role ░░░░░░░░ s exactly right If ░░░░░░░░ look at the dominion ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Carlson s broadcasts ░░░░░░░░ one part of what ░░░░░░░░ was arguing in court ░░░░░░░░ had like a 20 ░░░░░░░░ case that they were ░░░░░░░░ and Tucker Carlson s ░░░░░░░░ was only one of ░░░░░░░░ 20 Here you have ░░░░░░░░ month of Tucker Carlson ░░░░░░░░ shows over and over ░░░░░░░░ repeating these false stories ░░░░░░░░ show Ray Epps is ░░░░░░░░ know a secret agent ░░░░░░░░ was in the crowd ░░░░░░░░ the riot And you ░░░░░░░░ it never happened Now ░░░░░░░░ of that precludes Ray ░░░░░░░░ from being charged right ░░░░░░░░ what essentially Ray Epps ░░░░░░░░ opponents were arguing is ░░░░░░░░ because he hasn t ░░░░░░░░ charged that somehow makes ░░░░░░░░ a government agent Well ░░░░░░░░ don t know that ░░░░░░░░ Epps is not charged ░░░░░░░░ very well could be ░░░░░░░░ and so it was ░░░░░░░░ absence of a charge ░░░░░░░░ led people to kind ░░░░░░░░ run wild with these ░░░░░░░░ that somehow this guy ░░░░░░░░ you know responsible for ░░░░░░░░ entirety of January 6th ░░░░░░░░ even by the comparison ░░░░░░░░ what dominion claims were ░░░░░░░░ dominion like somehow rigged ░░░░░░░░ election that their voting ░░░░░░░░ were somehow hackable that ░░░░░░░░ or Biden could steal ░░░░░░░░ from Trump That s ░░░░░░░░ really fanciful but what ░░░░░░░░ guy is accused of ░░░░░░░░ Epps is crazier than ░░░░░░░░
