Everybody has got to die sometime, even the Great and Powerful Fox News giant Rupert Murdoch. But what will happen to the empire when papa \\u2018Doch finally does kick the bucket? CNN\\u2019s Brian Stelter shared his theory with Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast on this episode of The New Abnormal and it\\u2019s hard not to see it as a possibility. But spoiler alert: It\\u2019s super complicated. (\\u201cThere will be a battle over the future of the company because there\'s this trust right now. There\'s eight votes in the trust,\\u201d he says. \\u201cRupert has four votes and the kids have four votes. So he wins. If, and when he dies, there will be four votes from four children,\\u201d and dun dun, dun\\u201d one of them leans more liberal.) Stelter did the work none of us wants to and wrote a whole book about Fox. He brought up a personal Molly Jong-Fast nightmare (Tucker Carlson 2024?) and the trio discussed the very obvious occurrence of the network literally controlling what the president says or does. (\\u201cTucker will tweet or say something on the air. And two days later, it\'s Donald Trump\'s policy.\\u201d) Then! Dr. Al Gross, who is running for Senate in Alaska as an Independent, spoke with Molly and producer Jesse Cannon about why the state isn\\u2019t as red as everyone thinks and how he\\u2019s able to balance his time as a commercial fisherman, an orthopedic surgeon, and Master of Public Health. Oh, and that stimulus check the state\\u2019s citizens get called UBI. Plus! Find out which hill Bill Barr is dying on to protect Trump this time.
