TUCKER CARLSON FIRED From Fox News, What's Next? · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

• 0:00
  So if you had tuned into Fox News tonight to watch Tucker Carlson, this
• 0:03
  is what you were greeted with. Hi everybody, and welcome to Fox News
• 0:07
  tonight. I am Brian kill Me. As you probably have heard, Fox
• 0:11
  News and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. I wish Tucker the best.
• 0:15
  I'm great friends with Tucker and always will be. But right now it's
• 0:18
  time for Fox News tonight. So so right off the bat, this just
• 0:21
  looks like a bad move for Fox. There's a lot of people, including
• 0:25
  myself, that would only watch one thing on Fox, Tucker Carlson. And
• 0:30
  why is that? That's because Tucker Carlson was unique and cable news. He's
• 0:34
  not just a broken record like you know, the Hannities or the Rachel Maddow's
• 0:38
  or whoever they've got on CNN. Now you can just reliably predict everything they're
• 0:43
  going to say. Tucker, you couldn't. Maybe at the start you could,
• 0:47
  but as this show went on, it started becoming more and more unpredictable,
• 0:50
  and he started taking more and more unpredictable takes on things and having left
• 0:54
  us like Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy dore On and not fighting with them, finding
• 1:00
  common cause. It was kind of an incredible thing. You just don't see
• 1:03
  that on any other show, at least not to the extent that Tucker did
• 1:07
  it. And as I said, there's a lot of people that were going
• 1:10
  to Fox News the only thing they were watching there was Tucker. I mean,
• 1:14
  he can see he absolutely dominated his hour. This was his last show
• 1:19
  on Friday, two point six million. Now, typically he would get about
• 1:23
  three and a half I believe, but that was on a Friday night last
• 1:26
  Friday. There you can see Anderson Cooper got about a fifth of that,
• 1:30
  Chris Hayes got about half. And it's not like Fox News isn't going to
• 1:34
  continue to dominate. You can see Hannity's still very popular, Ingram's still very
• 1:38
  popular, far more popular than their counterparts on the other networks. But they're
• 1:42
  going to lose a chunk, a big chunk of their viewers who don't care
• 1:46
  about anybody else but Carlson because Carlson was unique. Why. Here's Robert F.
• 1:52
  Kennedy Junior. Here's what he had to say. Fox fires Tucker Carlson
• 1:56
  five days after he crosses the red line by acknowledge that the TV networks pushed
• 2:01
  a deadly and ineffective vaccine to please their pharma advertisers. There's a lot of
• 2:07
  pharma ads on Fox News. You might have noticed that here from Glenn Greenwald,
• 2:12
  hardly a conservative. Tucker was the cable host who most opposed US proxy
• 2:17
  war in Ukraine. Yeah, there wasn't a lot of that going around.
• 2:21
  Cable news was there at denounced CIA, FBI, and DHS for its systemic
• 2:25
  lies and corruption, devoted himself to a pardon for Julian A Sane, objected
• 2:31
  to regime change efforts in Cuba, criticized the Trump administration's militarism. Yeah,
• 2:38
  and it seems like if there's one thing that's a big no no on cable
• 2:40
  news these days, and it doesn't matter which channel, right, left,
• 2:44
  right, doesn't matter, it's being anti war. I think when you're talking
• 2:47
  about journalists being independent, that's where the rubber meets the road, isn't it,
• 2:52
  Because you know, the left establishment and the right establishment, they claim
• 2:54
  to hate each other, but on the big things they all kind of agree,
• 2:58
  don't they. They both big pharma, they both loved war, they
• 3:01
  both hate Julian Sange, and they both seemed perfectly fined with the security State.
• 3:07
  Now, while Fox is saying that they mutually parted ways, and there's
• 3:09
  a lot going around that suggests otherwise, here's this one from Vandity Fair.
• 3:13
  Tucker Carlson was blindsided by Fox News firing, says the immedia world was blindsided
• 3:19
  by news that Tucker Carlson and Fox News would be parting ways. So was
• 3:23
  Carlson. On Monday morning, Fox News CEO Susanne Scott called Carlson and informed
• 3:29
  him he would be taken off the air and his Fox News email account was
• 3:32
  shut off, according to a source briefed on the conversation, so an anonymous
• 3:37
  source, Carlson was stunned by his sudden outster from his eight PM show,
• 3:42
  the most watched program in cable news. Carlson was in the midst of negotiating
• 3:46
  the renewal of his Fox News contract through twenty twenty nine. The source said.
• 3:50
  As of last week, Carlson had told people he expected the contract to
• 3:53
  be renewed. There didn't seem to be any issue on his last show.
• 3:59
  He seemed to be from the way the show closed, it seemed that he
• 4:01
  was expecting there to be another show on Monday. It does feel like he
• 4:06
  was blindsided and that it wasn't mutual. Now, there seems to be a
• 4:11
  desire in some of the media to tie Tucker's departure to the dominion lawsuit and
• 4:16
  the subsequent settlement, the very large settlement for over eight hundred million dollars,
• 4:21
  and that did just happen. But my understanding is that it actually had a
• 4:26
  lot more to do with Fox Business and lou Dobbs, and it didn't really
• 4:29
  have much to do with Tucker. But I mean, this is the modern
• 4:31
  media. There's two things that happened close together, so they must be the
• 4:34
  same thing. But anyway, and of course there's been a lot of braying
• 4:38
  for his removal for a long time. The administration really hates him. Now
• 4:42
  something very interesting. They don't seem to call for the canceling of any of
• 4:46
  the other people on Fox. It's it's just Tucker Carlson here. White House
• 4:49
  calls Tucker Carlson shameful an extraordinary rebuke. The White House lashed out at Fox
• 4:56
  News host Tucker Carlson Wednesday in an straordinary rebuke of the late night commentator who
• 5:02
  has been airing false depictions, false depictions apparently of the January six, twenty
• 5:10
  twenty one attack this week. So this is from CNN, and I think
• 5:14
  that by airing false depictions, they mean he showed footage that they didn't want
• 5:18
  you to see and provided context that they didn't want you to see. Let's
• 5:23
  see, there's the thing that he falsely claimed that the footage provided conclusive evidence
• 5:27
  that Democrats in the House Select Committee that investigated January six lined to the Americans
• 5:31
  about the day's events, and they clearly did. That was proven by the
• 5:34
  footage that he showed, which journalists apparently to prove that we live in clown
• 5:40
  world, were furious that people had gotten to see, including themselves. They
• 5:45
  didn't want to know, and they hate Tucker because he got that footage and
• 5:48
  showed it to you. Also, he's opposed to the war in Ukraine.
• 5:53
  But all of these other things that we've gone through here from the Washington Post.
• 5:58
  Why Tucker Carlson was a problem for Fox News. We don't yet know
• 6:02
  why he and Fox abruptly parted ways. But his fast and loose style and
• 6:06
  huge stature, we're a toxic mix and our new post dominion era fast and
• 6:14
  loose style that tells you all you need to know about the media today,
• 6:17
  the modern media, the modern corporate media, the Washington Post, fast and
• 6:23
  loose style. That means not sticking to the script, that means not sticking
• 6:28
  to the narrative. It's amazing. They really they can't understand how anybody could
• 6:32
  be an independent thinker, how anybody could stray from what they're told to say.
• 6:38
  It's unthinkable to them. So what's next for Tucker, Well, Tucker's
• 6:42
  got a lot of options. He was the best thing about Fox News.
• 6:45
  Fox News we'll suffer without him. Fox News is not going to go under
• 6:47
  without Tucker, but they're gonna suffer. They're going to be less popular.
• 6:50
  A lot of people are gonna follow Tucker wherever he goes because they feel like
• 6:55
  Tucker isn't lying to them, and he has courage that other people that other
• 7:00
  that news figures don't have. So people have speculated perhaps Rumbull because a lot
• 7:04
  of very popular figures have gone to Rumble. Stephen crowds there, that Russell
• 7:08
  Brand is there, that Glenn Greenwald is there, that Dan Bongino was killing
• 7:13
  it there. They're getting bigger, and they do seem to have a lot
• 7:15
  of money to play with, so who knows possible, I guess. But
• 7:18
  here's a tweet that says that corporate media is dying. Independent creators are the
• 7:24
  future of media. And this is in response to Tucker Carlson at leaving Fox
• 7:30
  News. Chris Pavlovsky, the top guy at Rumbull, said, I'm going
• 7:34
  to take it a step further. Corporate media died today. Independent creators are
• 7:40
  now the lead. And really, as an independent actor, Chucker Carlson's got
• 7:46
  the world at his feet. He could make more money than he made at
• 7:48
  Fox News doing it independently. And the benefit of that is you can say
• 7:53
  whatever the hell you want, and I think that might appeal to Tucker anyway.

• 8:00
  for that. I will see you next time. H
