Tucker On Twitter Premieres to Audience of Millions, Dwarfs Cable News Numbers...Tucker Carlson may be the most popular news host in human history.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson premiered his new program Tucker On Twitter to a massive audience, compiling tens of millions of views in a matter of hours. While Fox News and its corporate overlords had presumably hoped to silence Tucker through the 2024 Presidential Election, Carlson’s megaphone has only increased to quite possibly the largest in history since his dismissal from the cable news network.

Former Fox News host and longtime truth-seeking newsman Tucker Carlson premiered his new show, Tucker On Twitter, on Tuesday evening, with the show airing at 6:00 PM and compiling tens of millions of views in a matter of hours – and the number is still rising on Wednesday morning.

During the broadcast, Tucker blew the whistle on the latest apparent false flag in Ukraine, the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, which has “put the largest nuclear reactor in Europe in danger of melting down.”

While Ukraine and its NATO sponsors are blaming Russia for blowing up the dam, Tucker explained that Ukraine had run previous test attacks on the structure, which was constructed by Russia and serves Russian-control Crimea.

“In December, The Washington Post quoted a Ukrainian General, saying his men had fired American-made rockets at the dam’s flood gate, as a test strike,” Tucker told his audience.

“So really, once the facts start coming, it becomes much less of a mystery what might have happened to the dam. Any fair person would conclude that the Ukrainians probably blew it up, just as you would assume the blew up Nord Stream, the Russian natural gas pipeline last fall, and in fact, the Ukrainians did do that, as we now know.”

From there Tucker blasted neo-con warmongers like Bill Kristol and Lindsey Graham, blasting the NATO power structure that has pushed the massively deadly Russo-Ukrainian War to the brink of going nuclear.

The entire episode of Tucker On Twitter stood in stark contrast to the Ukraine coverage that’s airing on Tucker-less Fox News, where anchors like Brian Kilmeade are wearing Ukrainian flag lapel pins on air, and where the likes of Neil Cavuto openly shill for World War 3 while shutting down naysayers on live television.

Watch the full first episode of Tucker On Twitter below:

Hilariously, in the wake of the show’s premiere, left-wing corporate media has truly fallen flat in attacking Tucker Carlson.

A CNN headline called Tucker’s show “low-budget” and bemoaned his coverage of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which blows the lid off of the increasingly absurd pro-war narrative that CNN and others so fervently promote.

According to a metric published earlier this year, CNN is bringing in just 587,000 primetime viewers on an average day and ranks at the very bottom of the “Big Three” cable news line-up of CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.

Tucker better get himself some high efficient security. I don’t trust the DOJ FBI or the CIA who will eventually come after him sooner or later.

I’ve definitely watched less Fox but had it on last night. Harris Faulkner was the host – – she is a such a patriot and devout Christian, and had me in tears talking about her father and his military service.

I really think she has the potential to take over that time slot. No one will ever get Tucker’s ratings, but she is a woman of substance and conviction and will definitely have a better following than at her daytime spot. I think she’s the best substitute I’ve seen in Tucker’s slot so far.

Ironically, he used to be at CNN and MSNBC.

From Brave Summerizer:

Carlson began his media career in the 1990s, writing for The Weekly Standard and other publications. He was a CNN commentator from 2000 to 2005 and a co-host of the network’s prime-time news debate program Crossfire from 2001 to 2005. From 2005 to 2008, he hosted the nightly program Tucker on MSNBC.................

(Darn, cannot ‘find’ the Twitter Spaces. I can watch him on YouTube replays). Instructions are go to timeline and look at the bottom ... I have “circles” and “blue” down there, no spaces).

I watched Tucker's segment on Twitter last night when it had 22 million views.

I just checked now and it is up to 70 million views.

If this is anywhere close to accurate, Tucker has expanded his audience by a factor of TWENTY by moving from FoxNews (where he averaged 3.5 million viewers) to Twitter.

Already more than 20 million folks have watched Tucker Carlson’s opening salvo on Twitter.

Now would be a good time to send messages to their family and friends to alert them.

A lot of folks do not keep up to date on politics and let’s do our part to get 50 million people to view Tucker’s Twitter.

I wonder how long it will be before Fox News tries to shut down Carlson's Twitter program over contractual non-compete clauses.

I'd love to see the fight that ensues: FNC stifling free speech during an election; Carlson arguing that FNC is seeking to ruin his image and brand.

He's going to have a RUSH sized tens of millions audience. Nobody will come close. He will be a force to be reckoned with.

I like Harris a lot, and if she was chosen to host the 8PM slot, it would be a winner; perhaps not as big as Tucker, but definitely a winner.

I would also like ot see Dagen McDowell given a trial at the 8PM slot. She's very conservative, very knowledgeable, does great interviews, and takes no prisoners and is confrontational when she needs to be.

On May 9 Tucker Carlson announces that he would be relaunching his show on Twitter.

On May 11 Elon Musk announces that he has hired Linda Yaccarino as the new Twitter CEO. Yaccarino was former Chairman of Global Advertising and Partnerships for (multinational media conglomerate) NBCUniversal. Interestingly, NBCUniversal was founded on May 11 2004.

So Tucker Carlson moves from one multinational media conglomerate, to another one, albeit with a slightly varied delivery system. Has anything really changed.....

Non-Compete clauses are unenforceable and unconstitutional...............

Sean Hannity reads this headline, and is quietly peeved, stunned at how ‘ungrateful’ the viewing public seems to be for Sean’s over 20 years of public service as a newsman.

“Have the viewers suddenly developed amnesia?
What about all those years with me and Bill O’Reilly, exposing the lies of Washington DC and K Street?”
