Yes, but Rush's show was only 30 minutes, and was on at like 2am in most areas. Put Tucker on at 2pm and see how he does.

***It’s too late to try that because he already has the audience and name recognition. One thing Rush did was he drove through radio ratings like a buzz saw. I doubt Tucker could do that because he is a tad more polite, a tad more introspective, a tad more accepting of his hosts, a tad more inclined to listen for at least a few seconds more.
One of Rush’s tricks was to interrupt the caller, say he needed to go to commercial, and then say “what I meant to say to the caller was....” after 3 - 4 minutes of thinking. Tucker does this on the fly. And he does it with the camera on his face. Far superior.
