JAKE TAPPER (HOST): Something else that's going on that's very interesting is Kayleigh McEnany, former Trump White House press secretary, just announced on Twitter that she is going to be doing the 8 p.m. hour all next week, that Tucker Carlson used to have.
I'm sure I don't need to remind anybody here, Kayleigh was one of the biggest spreaders of election lies in that period after the election. She would go on Fox all the time and just repeat these lies over and over and over. So if anybody thought that the $787.5 million settlement was going to make Fox recalibrate how much they want to be associated with those lies, I guess we have our answer.
ANA NAVARRO (GUEST): Look, Fox News is what it is and it's not going to change its stripes anytime soon. I was shocked. I mean, the Kayleigh part is -- yeah. Her lies, her spreading conspiracy theories and her lies got her a job at Fox News.
