Tucker Carlson announces he is 'relaunching his show' on Musk-owned TWITTER - with the help of former Fox News show staff - and will FORGO his $25m non-compete clause
Daily Mail ^ | 5/9/23 | Melissa Koenig

Tucker Carlson has announced he is relaunching his show on Twitter - just two weeks after being fired by Fox News.

The ousted television host made the announcement in a three-minute video posted to his Twitter page on Tuesday in which he slammed the mainstream media and said anyone who tries to tell the truth 'will be fired.'

'The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits,' Carlson told his fans.

I’m permanently banned from Twitter, maybe I can see day old shows on You Tube.

I was permabanned from Twitter under the old regime but they reinstated me under the new management and I've had no trouble so far. All I did was ask and my old account came right back!

For his next trick, Tucker is going to sue Fox!

Tucker Carlson, two weeks after being ousted by Fox News, accused the network Tuesday of fraud and breach of contract — and made a host of document demands that could precede legal action.

If any red states or counties in the US still have Dominion machines, real American patriots should drag them all out to the parking lots and torch them

“Oh man are the millennials and GenZers gonna be pissed with all those new Twitter users coming online”

I didn’t think of that aspect of it, but you are right!

More on Fox’s fall:

https://www.revolver.news/2023/05/updated-numbers-fox-news-tonight-getting-slaughtered-even-harder-than-we-thought-msnbc-laughing-all-the-way-to-the-bank/

“Fox News made a colossal blunder by firing Tucker Carlson, the voice of the middle-class. They clearly don’t understand their audience and their decision-making skills are on par with Bud Light’s.

However, it’s worse than we thought for Fox News. The situation has become so dire that even CNN’s boring and unpopular morning show is attracting more young viewers than Fox’s prized 8pm time-slot that was once occupied by Tucker Carlson.This is a major problem for Fox News, and it’s not just a one-time thing like the O’Reilly firing or the absurd 2020 “election call” in Arizona.

At this point, if Fox News doesn’t turn things around, it could spell the end for the networks reign as the king of cable news.”

Thank you! lol

Seriously, it's the one platform where he will never be silenced. Here's hoping Chatsworth takes no prisoners and finally black-pills the US.

Can’t blame Tucker on the 25 million non competition clause. Fox thikks it can buy the silence of the lambs.....but alas.....The name is” Tucker”, not “Sucker!”

Time to celebrate. Elon and Tucker are going to make huge tsunamis of Freedom.

Wooooo Hoooooooo!

“I’m permanently banned from Twitter, maybe I can see day old shows on You Tube.”

I don’t have a Twitter account and I watch video clips there all the time. Now, I assume the Carlson stuff will be be member only (maybe paid blue-check member even), but the stuff will be posted elsewhere not longer afterwards and everyone will be able to see it. So, you are right, we may just be “day-old” watchers.

In most cases the “talent” cannot just “decide” to forego the salary.

I wonder what the deal was.

I joined a couple weeks ago...but you can have it. I cruised it for 3 days maybe, got tired of it, and now only go back occasionally.

His announcement today is said to have had 8M Twitter views already.

If he drops his shows at 8 pm eastern, he will in fact be competing with FOX ...head to head.

I’d pat you on the back but you are doing a pretty job of that yourself.

Back then I only watched Tucker. But after their election coverage (which I was jumping across all sources) I stopped everything.
