ANGELO CARUSONE (GUEST): Fox News, as we saw during the Dominion filings, they're sort of beholden and sandwiched between these different audiences. Tucker was on the rise and was beginning to be this conductor for this course. And Fox obviously was another important piece of that. So whoever sort of controls that key really then has the ability to sort of become the center of gravity and the conductor for this course. And so what we saw last night wasn't just a surrender and humiliation for Fox, it was actually Trump picking up the baton and showing us who's going to end up sort of hijacking the rest of the right wing media. Now, it will be an echo chamber led by Fox and Trump.
