The text messages were part of the panel’s nonprivileged records from Meadows. They contained messages from Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and Brian Kilmeade pressing Meadows to convince Trump to do something to halt the brutality on Capitol Hill.
Carlson stated that Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, read the sample of text messages Monday in the public view to "humiliate" and "embarrass" the right-leaning commentators on national television. She read these just before the Committee decided to hold Meadows in contempt for ceasing to cooperate with its inquiry,

"The point is to harm and humiliate the people you disagree with politically, and that is what they are doing," Carlson announced. "Those texts showed no evidence of any crime whatsoever, but since she had them, Liz Cheney thought they might be embarrassing to conservatives, so she read them on television. Some of those texts it turns out were from anchors here at Fox News. Liz Cheney took special delight in reading those."

Carlson claimed the text messages undercut what Cheney was attempting to show, which was that there was a difference between what was said on television and what was said in private text messages.
"These are principled people. What they say in public is not that far from what they say over text message," Carlson stated. "If you get a text from Brian Kilmeade, it sounds pretty much identical to Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends. These are not phonies. We can personally confirm that. Whether you like them or not, they are real. So fox anchors on TV and in private opposed the BLM riots in the summer of 2020. Fox anchors opposed the riots on Capitol Hill in January of 2021. It turns out that anchors opposed riots. All riots. No matter who is rioting."

On Monday night, Hannity had Meadows on his show after the text messages were exposed but did not talk about them with his guest throughout the interview. He did address them on his radio show and Fox News program on Tuesday.
