The Daily Beast previously reported that during his deposition, when asked by Dominion’s lawyer if “this wasn’t the only time you referred to [former Trump lawyer] Sidney Powell as a c**t,” Carlson replied: “You know I-I-I can’t know and I just want to apologize preemptively. I mean you’re trying to embarrass me, you’re definitely succeeding as I am embarrassed.” The exchange “loomed large in his termination,” the Beast reported, citing “people familiar with the matter.”

In the video obtained by Media Matters, Carlson is on the set of his Tucker Carlson Tonight show speaking to someone who is off-camera. He is wearing the same outfit that he did on his show on Friday, August 26, 2022, the date he was deposed in the Dominion suit.

Carlson says in the video that he had spent “10 hours” being deposed, with “that slimy little motherfucker sitting across from me.”

He goes on to describe “the hate that I felt for that guy” as “unhealthy,” claiming that in trying to nail down where Carlson lives given his multiple homes, the lawyer had been suggesting “that I was cheating on my taxes.”

“I never feel that way,” he says. “I don't want to feel that way. I think it's wrong. It's bad. It's totally bad for you to feel that way. But that guy, he triggered the shit out of me. ‘Where are you now? Where do you live?’ The amount of times I had, ‘First of all, fuck you,’ on my lips was like, it was unbelievable.”

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Well, that was a week, I'll say. Holy shit, 10 hours. That slimy little motherfucker sitting across from me. Oh, you're the best. And I wasn't talking about you. It's just the opposite.

OFF-SCREEN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE]

CARLSON: No, I'm not. What do you mean, because you've never been this affirmed in your life? I bet. Thank you, Alex. Have a happy weekend. See you, man. The amount, it was so unhealthy, the hate — thank you, seriously — the hate that I felt for that guy. I mean, thank you —

OFF-SCREEN: How could you not?

CARLSON: Well, I never feel that way, you know, because I don't put myself. I don't want to feel that way. I think it's wrong. It's bad. It's totally bad for you to feel that way. But that guy, he triggered the shit out of me. “Where are you now? Where do you live?” The amount of times I had, “First of all, fuck you,” on my lips was like, it was unbelievable. Suggesting that I was — that I was cheating on my taxes?

OFF-SCREEN: Really?

CARLSON: Oh, absolutely. “So where, what's — where are you domiciled? Where are you now? Do you own a home there?” I was like, No, I do not own a home.
