Tucker is a man on a mission.

I don't think Fox is happy about it...

FOX News attempts to stop Tucker Carlson from continuing his new Twitter program

Tucker Carlson uploaded "Ep. 1" of his new video show on Twitter to the social media site on Tuesday evening. According to a "scoop" at AXIOS on Wednesday afternoon, shortly after Tucker's Twitter episode was uploaded, FOX News attorneys "notified Tucker Carlson's lawyers that the former prime-time anchor violated his contract with the network when he launched his own Twitter show on Tuesday, according to a copy of a letter obtained by Axios."

Meanwhile, Sara Fischer and Mike Allen continue in their AXIOS scoop:

Carlson's lawyers told Axios that any legal action by Fox would violate his First Amendment rights.


It will be interesting to see what evolves with FOX News's complaint to Carlson's attorneys that their former host is breaching his contract with FNC.

AXIOS:

Shortly after Carlson posted the first episode of his new show on Twitter Tuesday evening, Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar sent a letter to Carlson's lawyers saying Carlson "is in breach" of his contract agreement.

"In connection with such breach and pursuant to the Agreement, Fox expressly reserves all rights and remedies which are available to it at law or equity."

The letter refers to Carlson's contract, which was originally signed on November 8, 2019 and amended on February 16, 2021.

"This evening we were made aware of Mr. Tucker Carlson's appearance on Twitter in a video that lasted over 10 minutes," the letter read.

"Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Carlson's 'services shall be completely exclusive to Fox,'" it continues, quoting Carlson's contract.
It adds that Carlson's contract says he is "prohibited from rendering services of any type whatsoever, whether 'over the internet via streaming or similar distribution, or other digital distribution whether now known or hereafter devised.'"

Between the lines: Carlson's legal team, according to a source familiar with its thinking, objects to the network's effort to block Carlson's Twitter appearances because, they believe, Twitter is not directly competitive with Fox News.

Hats off to AXIOS for breaking this story — which was picked up almost immediately by multiple outlets in the MSM and alternative media.

It's unclear yet if what may be a looming legal battle pitting Carlson against FOX News will make it to court, to arbitration, or to a quiet settlement, hopefully allowing Carlson to proceed to express his "free speech rights" at Twitter, or wherever he chooses to go, without restraint.

If Carlson is so popular and effective in his broadcasts or twit casts or whatever they call them, then isn't it a puzzlement as to why fox fired him?

Fox fired him because they were told to. You can't think about businesses being businesses. They are mostly an arm of the Governement Left. China is their ideal. Govt uses business to control the population

Govt is also picking the winners and losers in the stock market.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so

If Carlson is as rich as we're told, he can pay whaever penaty his contract stipulates. He doesn't seem to be at all concerned about it. Certainly, he retains competent legal counsel.

In Tucker’s third new free Twitter monologue, which uploaded yesterday evening, the commenter defended President Trump and went after the military-industrial complex. It was titled, “America’s Principles Are At Stake.” It’s not a good idea to criticize the military-industrial complex; now Tucker’s days are numbered shorter than King Belshazzar’s.

Haha, just kidding. I hope. Anyway you’ll enjoy it; Tucker forcefully argues the reason the federal government was weaponized against Trump was because during the 2016 primary debates, Trump said there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Tucker explained that was the precise moment when candidate Trump, and later President Trump, became a mortal threat to the deep state’s finely-tuned machinery of perpetual war. Trump threatened the military industrial complex’s most prized possessions: its power, profits, and prestige. Trump became a threat that must be eliminated at all cost.

As I was watching Tucker, suddenly a window opened in my mind, revealing this shocking thought: we did it to ourselves.

For decades, we’ve empowered the deep state to subvert and dismantle unpopular foreign leaders using weapons of engineered protests, color revolutions, blackmail, character assassination, and currency manipulation. So that politicians could keep their hands clean and enjoy plausible political deniability, we created impenetrable legal and political silos safeguarding the blackest of black ops, secreting the covert operations within deep underground bunkers of utmost secrecy and byzantine legal complexity, buried so deeply under mountains of red tape that those who watch the watchers can truthfully deny it ever happened, and so that the operations and the operators remain completely unsupervised, absolutely unaccountable, and ultimately unjusticiable.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? No one, that’s who.

Here we are, at long last, at the inevitable point of self destruction. Having devised and perfected an arsenal of covert tools for personal, political, and social destruction, originally meant to be used against our enemies, at the end of the long day, it was a trivial effort, really no effort at all, for the bad actors in the deep state to turn the sighting wheels and re-aim those very same secret weapons inwards, becoming a circular firing squad of Americans surrounding America, all believing they’re aiming at President Trump, but who are actually about to kill each other and the entire nation.

In his final address to the country on January 17, 1961, outgoing President Dwight Eisenhower saw this day coming. He famously warned Americans about the military-industrial deep state:

“[W]e must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”

Well, the general-turned-President from Abilene, Kansas TRIED to tell us. So we’ve known for a long time what the problem is. The question now becomes: Can we solve it before it’s too late?

Anyway, when you have about 13 minutes watch Tucker’s whole clip. He was excellent, as usual, and you’ll enjoy how he roasted a rogue’s gallery of Trump traitors including that revolting human blood sausage, Mike Pompeo.

Tucker Carlson Episode 4 - Wannabe Dictator

Last night, Tucker dropped his fourth episode, titled “Wannabe Dictator.” It’s even spicier than the last one. The title was inspired by a 27-second Chryon referring to Joe Biden that momentarily appeared on Fox News before panicked video editors pulled it down. It said: “Wannabe Dictator Speaks at the White House After Having His Political Rival Arrested.”

On the new episode, Tucker described the media meltdown and hysterical leftwing freakout, both at Fox and in the wider liberal media, outraged over the briefly-displayed headline. Obviously, the heroic staffer who typed that Chyron into the system instantly became a FORMER Fox employee.

We pray he lands in an even better situation where he no longer has to pretend to believe something else.

Anyway, in his 13-minute clip, Tucker seriously analyzes the question of whether Joe Biden is, in fact, a Wannabe Dictator. It turns out there are some remarkable similarities between Sniffy Joe and other well-known historical third-world despots. Enjoy.

Will Tucker “save” Twitter and bring it out of the red??

Tucker Carlson Discusses the U.S. Dual Justice System and the Biden Family

For episode 5, Tucker Carlson again uses the Twitter platform to showcase a monologue outlining the dual justice dynamic amid the Biden family.
WATCH:



Tucker Ep. 5: It’s safer to be the president son, then his opponent

Question: How can the DOJ possibly prosecute Joe & Hunter Biden for foreign bribes and money laundering, when the entire purpose of the Foreign Relations Committees in DC is to facilitate foreign bribes and money laundering for congress?

As a career DC person once mentioned to me: Why does the Legislative branch, both the House and Senate, have a foreign relations committee, when all foreign policy is created by the executive branch? Contemplating the question, I responded by referencing the constitutional role of the House in spending money and various nations requesting financial support from the USA. The response I received was a simple one word, “exactly.”

If a foreign government wants money from congress, they play the game of hiring a family member, or giving a paid contract to the business of a family member, of a politician on either committee. That is the primary function of the committee in both chambers; to ensure the equitable distribution of funds to the families of congress. That’s also the reason why Mitt Romney spent $10 million running for an elected office that pays $300k per year, and why Mitch McConnell assigned Mitt Romney to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

When he was a senator, Joe Biden was Chairman of what Senate committee?

Yup, you guessed it, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

I miss Rush. You couldn't go wrong listening to him; he didn't have wacko conspiracy theories interspersed with need-to-know information the way Carlson does. I'm afraid Carlson is letting all this go to his head.

Yes, UFOs, the government in possession of alien bodies, Kennedy Assassination conspiracies- worse than useless; these things are highly counterproductive. Carlson should avoid these subjects entirely.

Recently, I unsubscribed from Russell Brand's channel because this otherwise intelligent man is on a UFO kick.

I keep telling people that I've been there and done that- assassination conspiracy theories and UFOs alike. Any American who was conscious of the world around them in the 1960s and 1970s can tell you the same.

Fox News Overhauls Primetime Lineup in Post-Tucker Carlson Era

Jesse Watters will move to 8 p.m., Laura Ingraham moves to 7 p.m. and Greg Gutfeld moves to 10 p.m. in shake-up.

quote:

Fox News is blowing up its primetime lineup in a dramatic reset following the ouster of Tucker Carlson in April.

The new lineup will see Fox News move Jesse Watters to 8 p.m., effectively replacing Carlson. 10 p.m. host Laura Ingraham will shift to 7 p.m., and Greg Gutfeld will move to 10 p.m. Sean Hannity will remain at 9 p.m.

In addition, the 11 p.m. hour will now be the home to Fox News @ Night, the news program anchored by Trace Gallagher, which previously ran at midnight.

While the new schedule completely changes almost every hour of primetime, it also leans on familiar faces, a move that could help quell ratings concerns at 8 p.m. in recent weeks.

“Fox News Channel has been America’s destination for news and analysis for more than 21 years and we are thrilled to debut a new lineup,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement. “The unique perspectives of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld will ensure our viewers have access to unrivaled coverage from our best-in-class team for years to come.”

The new lineup keeps Hannity at 9 p.m., where he has been a stalwart since the days of Hannity & Colmes from the channel’s launch in 1996. It also moves Watters into the critical 8 p.m. slot, a time period he is familiar with, having began his career as a producer for Bill O’Reilly when he led the hour. Ingraham, meanwhile, moves to 7 p.m., where she may be in a position to secure a larger audience than at 10 p.m., given recent cable news ratings trends. Gutfeld moves into primetime, while still giving him an hour where he can try to claim late night status.

While Fox News never lost its grip on the cable news ratings hierarchy, its 8 p.m. ratings fell after Carlson’s departure, and the rotating guest hosts were not able to recoup all of those viewers (though some advertisers that had abandoned the hour returned after he left).

Carlson’s shock departure was announced on April 24, with no reason or rationale given. Since then a bevy of theories have been out forth, from still-sealed text messages to secret Dominion settlements, though the company has said little.

“With regards to our programming strategy in primetime, there’s no change to our programming strategy at Fox News,” Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch told Wall Street analysts on May 9. “It’s obviously a successful strategy. And as always, you know, we are adjusting our programming and our lineup and that’s what we continue to do.”

As for Carlson, he landed at Twitter, where he promised to bring “a new version of the show that we have been doing for the past six and a half years.”

Now that new show will have to compete with a Fox News lineup that appears built to defend its moat.

It disturbs me that I've never heard any other Fox News "personality" mention Tucker Carlson since April 21. He's become a non-person there.

^^^I'm pretty sure they're paid to NOT mention his name...Just sayin'

Jesse Watters is a light-weight. Somewhat amusing, but he's better as a short-segment levity kind of thing like he used to do for Bill O’Reilly.

Who cares. FOX has been dead to me since they censored what I watch when they dumped Carlson.

Jesse Watters? LMAO

What’s next? Melissa McCarthy taking over for Wolf Blitzer?

Well…Tucker is now the competition and “the enemy”. So there’s that…

IDGAF…haven’t watched “the news” since very late in the Dubyuh administration. It’s all propaganda and OpEd to fit/advance the narrative de jour. Investigative Reporting?? DEAD!

Except, is he really?
There's a contract dispute because he was still under contract, and still being paid.
As far as I know, FOX had exclusive rights to his content, but refused to put him on the air. (OK, cable isn't "on the air").
His argument is that they are just trying to silence him, and that he has 1st Amendment rights to speak. But he's not getting paid for the Tucker on Twitter segments.

Gutfeld is moving to the ten oclock slot. I enjoy his show. I'm glad for that move.

Not me, I think it's a mistake. It's not splitting hairs to say there's a difference here between prime time and late night, Gutfeld can't be as freewheeling. And then there's the following slot, what happens there? I hope they don't give it to that windbag poser Tyrus, yikes.
