Judge Jeanine might be the one for that slot after Tucker...

Shouldn't it be The Six?

What a difference. Tucker actually listens to the answers to questions he has asked....most of the time. He also easily exposes the fools who think they are smarter than the host.

Now that’s an unwatchable lineup.

The five would be pretty good if it weren’t for Beckel, and Williams.

maybe Judge Jeanine’s demographics don’t skew young enough, I think she would be great!

Eric Bolling with his own gig is a plus. One of the few really solid conservatives at Fox.

In general, this is a better lineup that we have now. And they took my advice almost. I wanted Hannity, Tucker, The Five (or something similar.) I’ll settle for Tucker, The Five and Hannity.

I can’t imagine them finding 4 more nitwits. That is the most insufferable show out there.

Tucker is great, this will produce bigger ratings than BOR because he doesn’t have BOR’s negatives and will be able to command the best guests and talent.

I don’t care for The Five no matter what time they put it on, but am happy for Eric Bolling who always does a workmanlike job, and for Martha.

Jesse Watters is the best new talent on any network in a long time, and he will be honing his skills on the weekend and getting ready...for his world.

Good thing it’s baseball season. Can’t stand Gutfeld. He shouts too much. Might watch an occasional episode if Watters is substituting for GG, and Juan Williams isn’t on. I would prefer Geraldo to Williams and Beckel.

Which is actually a good move because Carlson--once he got out from under the Leftist "thumb" at MSNBC--became a VASTLY better host. And Carlson will do very well with the upcoming Generation Z, the children of the Millenial generation.
