The theories advanced as to why Tucker Carlson was fired, bounced, shown the door, and given a copy of the home game.
Have absolutely traversed anything even resembling reality.
I mean, they are off the wall.
I mean, wow.
Okay?
Wow.
Unbelievable.
That's all I've got to say.
Unbelievable.
I don't even know where to start.
I mean, if you, listen, let me just say this, because you're going to get upset.
Everybody gets upset.
I think he was the best thing on Fox News.
Now, that's not saying a lot.
I'm sorry.
But, as everybody else goes, he was the best.
Unique.
Great prose, great writing, great...
Terrific!
Coverage subjects, dare to take not the usual pro-Putin, pro...
I mean, excuse me, excuse me, what am I saying?
Pro-Zelensky?
It was different.
It was different.
He was very bold regarding CDC and Fauci and biomedical issues and vaccines and masks.
Very bold.
Very different.
Very atypical.
Used terms like uniparty and things like UFOs.
That was terrific.
Orban.
He was absolutely...
Absolutely, for that reason alone, he was superior on Fox.
Actually showed pictures or some video of the shaman dude walking around with the Valkyrie helmet and the Sonny Bono vest going back and forth.
Look at that.
See?
See?
This was his...
Okay.
Alright.
Of course...
Problems.
Number one, there's nothing that I ever learned.
Nothing.
Nothing that ever shocked me.
And people say, what about the video?
What about the video of, you know, it reminds me of the water buffaloes.
Remember that Jackie Gleason?
Anyway.
What about the shaman dude?
What about him?
That was something.
I never knew anything about him walking through.
What difference does that make?
He wasn't charged with tearing things off the wall.
Just being there.
Seditious conspiracy?
Two or more people working to basically interrupt government function?
Read the statues!
Why do people think?
In their minds, that if people walk around inside, that they're showing the door, they're saying, what?
Why were you there?
What was this about?
What was this about?
Granted, you might say, well, you know, I think that goes in mitigation.
I think that certainly could be used.
If it even was, I don't know if anybody knew this, you could have a Brady against Maryland exculpatory evidence issue, but that's for his lawyers.
But people have this idea that somehow say, I never knew that.
Look at that.
Do you understand what the charges were?
Do you understand that?
I don't know.
Again, I don't think this, and I'm not in any way suggesting, That the charges would have been warranted in the first place.
But I love the way people in their own mind have this idea that well obviously this is going to be he's got to go in there and rip paintings or steal paintings.
I've got a friend of mine who says they didn't steal any paintings.
What?
Those paintings, what are you talking about?
Well they didn't deface the painting.
You're on the paintings again.
Because in his mind, he thought, well, that's what it is.
Defacing paintings.
Okay.
The stories.
The idea.
Well, he's got 20 mil a year.
He's got three more years, or whatever it is.
They're going to keep him on the payroll to shut him up.
And they're going to shut him up because they don't want him to talk about the Uniparty.
What the hell did you think he talked about last night?
What?
They're going to tell him, do me a favor.
Shut up.
Keep your mouth shut.
You're under contract with us.
We don't have to use you.
Now, of course, he has lawyers.
The same lawyer who's representing Don Lemon.
Notice how nobody's talking about Don Lemon.
Nobody.
Nobody.
The left couldn't come.
Who?
Don Lemon.
Who?
Who?
Oh, yeah, yeah, right, right.
The guy with the black...
Don Lemon, who said in 2014 or whatever, that he thought maybe a plane could be sucked up into a black hole in the atmosphere.
Okay, maybe they're going to do this.
Maybe they shut him up.
Don't you understand?
Without Tucker Carlson...
And by the way, I'm a fan of his.
But this hagiographic post-mortem post...
I don't know what you want to call it.
This kind of...
This after-the-fact Reconstruction, revisionism of history with him and what he did and this was it and the problem and it's the deep state.
Okay, alright.
Could be.
They knew everything.
But the stocks are plunging.
They make their money with carriage fees.
What are you talking about?
Oh, they're never going to recoup that money.
Yes, they are!
Oh, no, no.
Tucker Carlson was Fox News.
No!
No, he wasn't.
Yes, I watched him.
So what?
Well, in my world, my world is important.
If I think he did it, that's all that matters.
I watch him.
I'm not watching that.
I don't watch that.
I'm not going to buy that app.
Okay, good.
It was a drop in the bucket.
Do you know how Fox makes their money?
It doesn't matter how they make their money.
They got on the phone and they called him up and they said, you've got to pull him.
Why?
Why?
Why now?
They knew this.
Why do you think?
Why do you think all of a sudden?
Why?
Tell me.
Because of what?
Well, because of Dominion.
What about Dominion?
If you've got to do it, let me give you the candidates for the possible reasons why he would be asked to leave.
Number one.
Not the Dominion suit, but the derivative shareholder suit that basically are asking Fox News and the board of directors, what the hell are you doing?
How did you get an $800 million, almost, verdict?
Do you watch?
Do you know what the hell's going on here?
Not the subject matter.
The verdict could have been about, you know, whatever.
Something else.
I don't know.
Do you think anybody?
Do you think anybody?
Seriously.
The idea that maybe people were saying, you know, I don't think this election was to...
Think about this.
A Republican, basically, station.
Not crazy about the idea that Trump lost the election.
You don't think...
Do you think maybe that's not exactly a novel point?
Right.
Okay, so what was it then?
It was the fact that they didn't control these people, that they have 800 million.
Okay, fine.
That's number one.
Number two, yeah, there might have been people who were upset with the fact that they didn't like his stance on Ukraine, they didn't like his stance on vaccines, they didn't like his stance on UFOs, they didn't like his stance on Orban and Hungary and commies and this and that, and they don't like that, and they went after, you know, the support of the January 6th?
Sure!
They know what he, what do you think this is?
What do you think Fox News is?
It's a media company.
How's the stock doing?
How's everything going?
Okay?
And the other issue is that what really is going to...
And nobody's even talking about this.
And I'm not even advocating that...
I'm not suggesting it's a good idea.
I'm not suggesting there's any merit to it.
But the Ray Epps case...
Oh my God!
When I heard him on 60 Minutes, that testimony, it sounded exactly like the testimony that was elicited regarding the Sandy Hook and the Alex Jones thing.
You went after me.
It wasn't that you just defamed me, but you basically turned millions of your followers against me.
Oh my God.
Okay?
Now, it piles up.
It piles up.
Somebody hits you.
Then one day you see, that's enough!
And Rupert Murdoch says, the hell with this?
I'm 92 years old.
I'm tired of this.
I've got two kids.
Fox News is the biggie.
You don't think Rupert Murdoch's been through his troubles before?
Come on.
They act like all of a sudden people say, I can't believe it.
Tucker's locked in his studio in Maine and he's on the air and he's talking about vaccines and we can't stop him.
Please!
It's like one...
And you know what it is?
So-and-so goes on this show and says, well, I've got to do better than that.
Then I come on and I watch my competitor and go, yeah, watch me.
You know what it's about?
It's about...
And then we go through this and then somebody watches me and then they say, well, I've got to do better than that.
How did he do?
How many likes did he get?
Okay, watch this.
I'm going to double that.
Listen to what I say.
I'm going to claim it's some kind of extraterrestrial galactic interference and it's a deep state whatever it is.
Oh, for the love of God.
Occam's razor.
The simplest, most perfect, obvious answer is nothing that you're able to do.
Now listen.
You know and I know there's a lot of people.
They're called conspiracy theorists, but there's really no conspiracy involved.
There's no illegal confederation or anything.
But there are people who love diabolical back door, back group, back office, back room.
You know, not just a deep state.
Not just a shadow and visible government, but an evil, kind of an overarching overlord.
Either you blame Soros or Klaus Schwab or whatever, the usual suspects.
They love this.
So you mix all of this together.
And Tucker Carlson's thinking, this is fantastic.
I am, I never knew I was this loved.
I'm the guy!
I want you to listen to me carefully.
John Stewart.
Bill O 'Reilly.
When they left, they thought, what was it?
Remember?
Go back.
That was it.
You're getting rid of Bill O 'Reilly.
Bill O 'Reilly was your leader of the...
Bill O 'Reilly...
Did just fine.
Perspective, my friends.
Perspective, okay?
Just never lose your mind in this battle for whatever the battle is.
In any event, have a great and glorious day.
What do you think about what I've said?
Come on!
Do you think I'm full of prunes, as my mother would say?
Put your thoughts down.
