Now a couple of things here.
First, I don't know Tucker Carlson.
I don't even care.
I like the behind-the-scenes stuff.
You know what I'll bet you's happening?
Just saying.
If I were Rupert Murdoch, and I were, I think, this is a man who, you don't get to be this big by not being ruthless.
Okay?
Ruthless.
Not having any Ruth.
By the way, A couple of things here.
Just because you know the word ruthless, let's look at, I always like to look at definitions of words that I think I know, that I think I know.
Ruthless means without compassion or mercy.
And it's just a beautiful, ruthless definition.
This is something which is so critical.
Having or showing no pity, Or compassion for others.
Ruthless.
Pity or compassion.
But it means a little bit more than that.
It means a little bit more.
Merciless.
Cruel.
I think what, in terms of the way I use it, is I'm going to win.
Leave me alone and I don't bother you.
See, that's the difference between most killers and a serial killer.
A serial killer says, I've got to go out and kill.
Nothing personal.
I've just got to do it.
I've got to satisfy, satiate this drive.
A regular killer would say, I don't even want to be involved in this stuff.
I'm not even...
If it happens, it happens.
If it's a contract killer.
But I'm not a killer.
It's a different story.
So Murdoch just doesn't go around crushing people.
But if you get in his way...
Now, a couple of things he's thinking.
Number one, how old is this guy to?
I always, see what I'm doing?
Rupert Murdoch age.
And I always like to do this.
He's 92. Rupert Murdoch, by the way, remember when he had that hair dye thing?
That hair the color of tang?
What the hell was that about?
Why do people, a Strom Thurmond orange look?
What is that?
Anyway, he says, I'm 92 years old.
And I know and I see that right now there's a couple of things regarding Fox.
First and foremost, what you've got to understand, and I'm going to keep telling you, they don't need Tucker Carlson.
They make their money first of the year.
Whatever the carriage fees are, they make a billion plus a year on that alone.
They make maybe half of that collectively with all of their advertising.
All of their advertising.
You can remove Tucker.
Their stock can go up and down.
That's important to a point.
They've had their moments, but it's still blockbuster.
It will also be forgotten because people are not going to leave Fox.
They might not want the app.
I discontinued that app thing.
The only reason I wanted to hear it was frankly, and Tucker, by the way, just to let you know, he is the best thing anybody on conventional cable stages.
He was the best.
I'm sure he'll be back two weeks later.
Now, in the meantime, so you've got that.
You've also got this shareholder's derivative suit.
And these people are going to say, you really screwed up with this Dominion case.
$787 million?
You didn't even fight!
You didn't even fight!
What are you doing?
They're very upset with that.
The Ray Epps case.
We forget about this.
We just don't want to talk about this.
This guy, that's the case I want.
Oh, dear God, I would love that.
More than Dominion.
More than Dominion.
Because Dominion kind of had like the text mail and everything.
This, this, oh.
Now, Dominion might be better because it's a business versus a person.
But you know what?
You get the right group of people in there when they go crazy.
Okay, now.
Shareholders are going crazy.
They're saying, you've got to do something.
You're out of control, Rupert.
You're out of control.
We're going a few in the board.
Rupert says, I'm going to show you what's going on.
Watch this.
I'll show you who's in control.
First of all, we're going to get rid of him.
I don't care about Tucker Carlson.
And they're saying, last week they met and they had dinner.
Would you stop that?
You have no friends in media.
You're nothing to them.
You're just a little pawn.
They don't care about you or how long you've been.
They don't care about you.
And normally should they.
It's like anything else in life.
Don't be surprised if Rupert Murdoch says, okay guys, do you have all those text messages?
Yeah, the stuff with the C word, let them out.
Yeah, let them out.
Show the world what he's like.
Show this potty-mouthed, mean-spirited, bad-employee, troublemaker who slams us and slams all of us.
Show him.
Show the world.
That he's just a spoiled, blue-blooded, little Lord Fauntleroy, trust fund, pain in the ass, thinks he's a big shot.
Show the world that it has nothing to do with Ukraine, big pharma, UFOs, or anything.
We let him say that.
We let him say that.
What are you talking about?
Let it out.
And boy, are we seeing it now.
You're going to see this campaign of what a jerk this guy is.
My God!
This is just dear.
I never knew that.
They were nice to him.
Here he is in Maine.
Spent $80 million in his studio and he's over.
Doesn't even come to New York and he does his thing.
And then they're going to...
Oh, did you hear this about how he went on shows in the past?
I'm a rich kid.
I'm a blue blood.
I'm a...
Oh!
And these fools think that somehow he's one of us.
Then he's a Christian.
Then he's a...
And then God in prayer.
Oh, come on!
I know a phony...
Oh, wait.
Please.
I've heard it all before.
It's a work.
It's wrestling.
I got it.
It's an angle.
You're Mr. Christian all of a sudden?
Did you hear that Heritage Foundation blather?
And that's why I don't pray enough for the country.
Oh, would you?
Oh!
This guy?
Seriously.
Look, say what you want.
Say what you want.
Do you hear that line?
He says, my wife and I haven't had dinner on a weekend in seven years.
Why?
Why?
What does that mean?
I don't understand what that means.
I don't know.
I don't care about that.
Leave family out of it.
I don't care about that.
But watch what happens.
And you're seeing this.
And then you're going to start hearing this Abby Grossberg.
Oh, listen to her and listen to her lawyer.
Oh, she's got a great case.
Now, provided none of this is not some big lie.
You might say to yourself, she's lying.
Okay, maybe.
Maybe it's that she's the best liar anybody's ever seen.
Oh my God!
And wait till you see the...
Wait till you see his producers who started saying this.
Alright, so that's over there.
So we're seeing the text messages.
And then we're hearing about the producers.
And then we're seeing how he treated women.
And then anti-Semitism.
And that's a very...
That's a word that...
That takes it to a new level.
Can you hear that one?
Can you hear that one?
Little Lord Fauntleroy, the Aryan kid with the bow tie, and the vineyard vines, preppy clothes.
I'm talking to you like a lawyer talks to you.
This case has, she's got jury appeal.
Did you see her?
I've seen her testify.
Watch this.
This is not just some spiteful whatever it is.
And now, you've heard nothing but Fox News is a hell.
Remember Bill O 'Reilly?
Remember that?
His problems?
And others?
And all the other cases?
When you hear Fox News, it's a variable who's who.
Remember the Roger Ailes movie?
Probably overdone.
So let me just tell you something.
You're going to see a hatchet job.
Rupert Murdoch is in the media business.
He knows how to get the word out.
And that's why, watch what happens, because remember, of this group of people, Tucker's fans, Tucker's fans think that he's, by the way, he's very good, but he's not, he's not, you know, jaw-dropping newsworthy.
Alex Jones, when he was younger, when he was, before he lost his mind, he was something.
I mean, he really was fabulous.
And then he, I don't know what the hell happened.
Seriously, I don't know.
But, watch what happens to this.
And meanwhile, the DC, the GOP again, more fractionalized, more, they don't understand it.
They think this is some, and I see these friends of mine who have been in the business for years and are saying, oh, that was a great speech that Tucker made.
No!
No, it's not!
Did you see this?
What was this?
Vague defiance?
Reading on a prompter?
Good for you.
I appreciate that.
That's it?
You didn't think this one through.
You didn't think this one through.
You pick up like nothing happened.
You make it sound like you're Tucker Carlson and your message, irrespective of whether it's Fox, whatever it is, we have something to do.
I believe in this country.
We have issues.
Don't even bring up the...
To his credit.
But wait until you see what Rupert Murdoch just...
Wait.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Okay?
It's going to get bloody.
