Actually, it's Tucker's viewers that struggle with that concept.
I've never questioned Tucker's audience numbers. He brings them in. However, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Meghan Kelly, and others have proven you can't duplicate online or on social media the same following long-term as that Fox primetime block. It's been a ratings winner for years.
Things change and change quickly.
Fox will always have their viewership, no one is pretending that is going away. Just look at CNN and MSNDC and see how long people will continue watching pure garbage. Fox has essentially stooped to their level now.
Elon has Twitter in a great spot with the transparency he is offering. He is also competing with Youtube for content and has vowed to take $0 from creators for the next year. I think there is a huge incentive for Tucker to use Twitter as his platform and I think it will happen. Be on the lookout for a video to drop tonight at 8pm.
How is he going to monetize Twitter viewership? Tucker isn't doing anything for free.
Elon just rolled out monetization to compete with Youtube. Kinda like how Mr Beast makes millions on Youtube.

If he is truly worth $370mm then money wont be an issue. He spends 85% of his time down in Boca Grande (neighbors with Dabo) and $370mm will do him just fine.
Going the Titter route would be risky and could potentially backfire, but since money is not necessarily the object and truth is ..... he may be wise to partner with Elon who happens to be the richest man in the world and is also seeking maximum truth. Big risk big reward. I think he goes for it, we will see.
All these multi millionaire/billionaires convincing a sizeable portion of the US that they give a shit about spreading "truth" or "free speech" is one of the greatest grifts i can think of.
Why in the world di you think Tucker cares about the truth? He literally lied all the time about his viewpoint. He is a proven liar.
Totally agree. I wish the poor people in this country could understand it's all a class war, and not a tribal war.
Twitter codes a "view" as anytime a video plays for longer than 2 seconds while scrolling. So you can be scrolling your timeline, not even watch the Tucker video and still be flagged as having "watched" it. It's why views on Twitter are usually so much higher than views on YouTube (which requires at least 30 seconds of watching.)
It's also his first public commentary since being canned. To think that each subsequent video would have the same reach as this newsworthy one (that is literally linked within news articles) is plain ignorant.

OK, i read the article but it doesn't say anything about lies. Can you give one specific example of the lies you are talking about?Tucker Carlson: firing highlights texts unearthed during Fox-Dominion trial

I don't watch his show btw so i don't know if he lies or not. Just curious what lies you think he tells.
He's no different than Trump. 99.99% of what he says is a total lie. It would be far more interesting to try and find something true that he's said.
No one claimed it would get the same results.
I think he will do well at Twitter. Not sure where else he will end up, unless he runs for President which I don’t see happening.
This sounds more feasible as one of the main reasons they removed him.

My gawd this thread brought out the Tucker simps. Flailing and gnashing of teeth as this once great icon spouting white replacement and transportation slips into the night. It was mainstream almost ... but I guess America will again push on on the right side of history for now.
Slips into the night …… haha. He will be haunting your dreams again soon, not to worry
Biden/Kamala got 1800 views on YouTube. Tucker has 80+million to date. Let's make assumptions that 10% of the "views" are true. Carry on
Right? Like who isn't afraid of authoritarian nationalists? They are pretty terrifying if you read books.
So are the books in our public school systems and the prominent displays in bookstores. All promoting an agenda to destroy our great country.
Our great country isn't going anywhere just because it's citizens are diverse. What would destroy it is to poison the tree of liberty with authoritarian hate.
What video are you talking about that had 1800 views compared to 80 mil views?
I’m shocked that the guy who hosts the most watched political opinion show had a ton of views on the first video he released post firing.
Also, what point are you trying to make comparing tucker’s views to some random Biden video? Are you trying to make a correlation between YouTube views and potential electability in 2024?

Was The Tucker "Take Down" A Deep-State Hit?
BY TYLER DURDEN
FRIDAY, MAY 05, 2023 - 12:00 AM
Authored by Mike Whitney,
Can we stop pretending that Tucker Carlson was fired because of the Dominion lawsuit? That’s a bunch of baloney. Carlson was fired because he used his prime-time platform to expose the crimes and illicit goings-on of the most powerful men, corporations and agencies in the world. That’s why he was fired, because he revealed the truth about big pharma’s toxic injections, Fauci’s deranged lockdowns, Brandon’s police-state surveillance, the expansive deep-state censorship program, CRT, BLM, ESG, George Floyd, drag-queen children’s hour, the oddball cult of trangenderism, Ukraine’s crummy dictator-president Zelensky and all the other pernicious inanities that are being used like a wrecking-ball on the nation’s moral and historical foundation. Tucker exposed them all.
That’s why he was fired. It had nothing to do lawsuits or disgruntled employees whining about a “toxic work environment”. Nor did it have anything to do with ratings or money. This was a carefully-calculated, narrowly-supported targeted assassination of the man—who more than any other—had become a problem for the reprobate Mafia that runs the country and who is determined to silence or annihilate anyone who speaks out against them.
So don’t be duped by articles in the MSM. They are there to misdirect and confuse, not to inform. Have confidence in what you’ve seen with your own eyes and know to be true. Tucker Carlson was a victim of a system that no longer tolerates free speech, even-handed criticism or any divergence from the official narrative. Who doesn’t know this already?
How many readers remember the night that Tucker ran a segment on the JFK assassination? Here’s a short recap from an excellent article by Lew Rockwell:
So, after 60 years, someone finally had the courage to tell the truth on national television. That’s shocking.
But how many people who saw that segment reacted the same way that I did? How many people said to themselves, “They’re not going to allow this to continue, they’re not going to let Carlson expose their crimes to the world. No way. Whatever it takes, they’re going to shut this guy up.”
And that’s what they’ve done, they’ve shut him up.
There are things you can’t say in America, and that is one of them. You cannot say the CIA killed John Kennedy even though the majority of people know that it’s true. Because it doesn’t matter if it’s true. Just like it doesn’t matter that it took place 60 years ago. You still can’t say it, because the people who own the media—and who sit on the boards of all the other global corporations—don’t like it when you criticize the organization that does their dirty work. They won’t allow that.
This is the lesson of Julian Assange, which is: Do not reveal the crimes of elites and—if you do—you’re going to be crushed. Assange violated that rule and now faces a lifetime in solitary confinement. They’ve not only ruined his life, they’ve also trotted him out in front of the world media to make an example of him. And the message they’re trying to send is this: “Mess with us and we will fu** you over.” That is the message.
Now it’s on to Tucker who is even more widely reviled for his nightly attacks on the same group of powerbrokers. What do you think they have in store for him?
It’s hard to say, but they’re not going to pull their punches, that much is certain.
It’s worth noting that, by some accounts, Carlson was not explicitly fired. Did you know that?
According to former Fox host Megyn Kelly, Carlson is not free to negotiate with other potential employers because he’s still technically under contract with Fox. Check out this blurb from Red State website:
What Kelly seems to ignore is that “silencing” Carlson was the primary objective from the get-go. The fact that he is still under contract simply makes it easier for his enemies to control and censor him. Many readers have noticed that Carlson has not posted another video on his Twitter account since last week’s 2-minute blockbuster that raked in over 70 million views. That probably means that he’s been advised by his attorney that anything he produces will be construed as a violation of his contract with Fox. In other words, keeping Tucker on the payroll may be the most effective way to shut him up which is precisely what they want.
On an entirely different topic: There seems to be widespread agreement that Rupert Murdoch was directly involved in Carlson’s removal. But—in my opinion—that seems very unlikely. Murdoch probably knew that the fallout from Carlson’s termination would be devastating for both ratings and the Fox brand. That’s why he (probably) avoided the decision for as long as possible. But try to imagine the enormous pressure he must have been under from his fellow oligarchs as well as the numerous deep-state agencies that have coalesced into—what Matt Taibbi calls—the “Censorship-Industrial Complex”. The billionaire globalists and their government assets despise Carlson and see his rational, laser-sharp analysis as a grave threat to their broader societal project. That is why they descended on Murdoch like a barrage of heat-seeking missiles forcing the dithering mogul to eventually throw in the towel. Once again—this is just my opinion—but I think it is much more likely that Murdoch “caved in” rather than threw his threw his prime-time superstar under the bus.
There’s also another development that preceded the Tucker incident that might have had some bearing on the final outcome, that is, the giant private equity corporation Blackrock bought a sizable chunk of Fox just two months before Carlson was given his pink-slip. Here’s the scoop from an article at Nasdaq:
Let me see if I got this straight: ‘Liberal-leaning’ PE goliath Blackrock buys a 15% share of uber-conservative Fox News in early February, and 3 months later the network’s brightest star is given his “walking papers”. Doesn’t that sound a bit suspicious?
Indeed, it does. Check out this short clip from an article by analyst Tom Loungo who helps to clarify what’s going on:
I think Luongo is on to something here. Blackrock’s stake in Fox might have nothing to do Fox’s prospects for future profits. Instead, it might be a straightforward power-play aimed at eliminating America’s most persuasive critic of big pharma, corporate malfeasance and the tyrannical globalist agenda. At the very least, the proximity of Blackrock’s purchase should prompt a thorough investigation of the possible link between the giant Wall Street monoliths and outspoken critics of the system. But while an independent probe is certainly warranted, I’m not holding my breath.
It’s not possible to understand what happened to Tucker Carlson without having some knowledge of the way things actually work. Fortunately, journalist Matt Taibbi has explained much of what is going on now through his work on the Twitter Files which shows how the concentration of wealth and influence has spawned an expansive information matrix that threatens to quash free speech while strengthening the power of the billionaire elites. Here’s a short excerpt from a piece by Taibbi:
Bottom line: The merging of public and private power has already taken place and is expressed in the removal of any and all critics of the newly-minted system. In short, Tucker was not fired by Fox News management but by the new speech-policing behemoth that descended on Murdoch like a swarm of hornets coercing him to make a choice that he probably would not have made otherwise.
A similar point is made by Patrick Lawrence in his recent review of Jacob Seigel’s A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century Here’s an excerpt from the author’s piece:
How do these excerpts help us to understand what happened to Tucker Carlson?
If Carlson was fired by Murdoch for his alleged involvement in the Dominion settlement, that is entirely different then if he was the victim of an emerging speech-policing bureaucracy that is deeply entrenched in the government and which seeks to arbitrarily limit what opinions are permissible and not permissible. If the latter is true, then we can assume that Carlson’s termination has broader meaning for everyone living in the United States today. What it means is that a sprawling new system has been secretly assembled within the state that is explicitly designed to end free speech as we know it and extinguish the last glimmer of personal liberty in America.
That’s why we need to know what people or organizations were behind the firing of Tucker Carlson.
