• 1:34
  Now, Carl said, who once dominated The Primetime slot and
• 1:37
  Rupert, Murdoch's Fox News, produced the new show from what
• 1:40
  seemed to be a wooden cabin home studio.
• 1:43
  He kicked off with a bold assertion that American citizens
• 1:47
  are the least informed in the world.
• 1:49
  A sentiment. He often expressed during his
• 1:52
  Tenure of fox Carlson's new show can be seen as a louder and more
• 1:56
  fervent. Incarnation of his previous
• 1:58
  monologues and the Tucker Carlson Tonight Show.
• 2:01
  And despite the sudden end to his Fox career in April
• 2:05
  Carlson's online engagement figures, swiftly it clipped,
• 2:08
  those of his former employer, even though the two platforms
• 2:11
  are not strictly comparable, the rapid uptake of his new show,
• 2:15
  his left Fox lagging behind in his final month.
• 2:19
  On Fox Carlson, reportedly Drew, an average of Point two, five
• 2:22
  million viewers per show, helping set the agenda for the
• 2:26
  Republican party and garnering support for the far, right?
• 2:28
  And Fox News has struggled to match these figures with
• 2:31
  rotating hosts. In the same 8, p.m. eastern
• 2:34
  time, slot managing only about half the audience despite
• 2:37
  remaining contractually tied to Fox until January, 20, 25 and
• 2:41
  earning an annual salary of more than 20 million dollars.
• 2:44
  Carlson has enlisted high-profile attorney.
• 2:47
  Brian Friedman to broker is departure from the network is
• 2:51
  abrupt exit. It coincided with foxes costly
• 2:53
  settlement of nearly 800 million dollars for a defamation
• 2:57
  lawsuit, by Dominion voting system over false election,
• 3:00
  fraud claims Al Carlson is also battling accusations of
• 3:04
  pervasive misogyny and harassment on his show as well
• 3:08
  as facing a potential lawsuit from TC T's former senior
• 3:11
  booking producer. Abby, grossberg known for his
• 3:15
  controversial stands on Fox often deemed races and
• 3:18
  anti-immigrant Carlson announced on May 9th that he would launch.
• 3:22
  Show on Twitter, describing it as one of the few platforms left
• 3:26
  that allow Free Speech. However, the premiere of Tucker
• 3:29
  on Twitter, might breach Carlson's fnc contract or
• 3:33
  perhaps signal, he is no longer bound by it while Fox News and
• 3:37
  attorney Friedman. Have not commented on Carlson's.
• 3:40
  New Venture Elon Musk who recently returned from a highly
• 3:43
  publicized visit to China, lauded the launch and is
• 3:46
  struggling social media platform, Carlson's debut
• 3:49
  episode, including numerous Statements, including harsh
• 3:53
  criticisms of Ukrainian president, solinsky whom he
• 3:57
  drugget, or really described as sweaty and rent.
• 4:00
  Like a comedian turd, oligarch a persecutor of Christians, he
• 4:05
  then went on to question the utilization of the billions of
• 4:08
  US Dollars into Ukraine and to instigate conspiracy theories
• 4:12
  about black lives matter riots, the events of 9/11 and more.
• 4:17
  And the debut show also featured critiques of Senator Lindsey
• 4:20
  Graham support for Ukraine as well.
• 4:22
  Well, as discussions on race relations and a discussion with
• 4:25
  a former member of the national geospatial-intelligence agency,
• 4:29
  who claimed that the u.s. government possesses alien
• 4:32
  spacecraft and dead alien, Pilots unsurprisingly, Carlson
• 4:38
  remained. True to his confrontational and
• 4:40
  controversial style promising to abandon the Twitter platform if
• 4:44
  it were to suppress his freedom speech.
• 4:47
  He said we're told there are no Gatekeepers here.
• 4:50
  He commented near the end of his pro-russia.
• 4:52
  Monologue also said, if that turns out to be false, we'll
• 4:55
  leave, but in the meantime, we are grateful to be here.
• 4:59
  We will be back with much more very soon.
• 5:02
  Now having vowed to return to right-wing commentary with a
• 5:05
  show on musk's Twitter. Carlson delivered on that
• 5:07
  promise. Posting a ten minute monologue,
• 5:09
  the fans of his former Fox News, show would find familiar critics
• 5:13
  and supporters alike. Tuned in, making the video a
• 5:15
  notable debut on the platform and featuring his signature
• 5:19
  style of weaving. Conspiracy theories, Carlson
• 5:22
  maintained the rhetoric and themes.
• 5:23
  That cemented his place in politics and on Fox News as
• 5:28
  Katie Robertson and Jeremy Peters of the New York Times,
• 5:31
  summarize the first episode quote, he expressed sympathy for
• 5:34
  President, Vladimir Putin of Russia in mocked president,
• 5:38
  zielinski of Ukraine. He accused the mainstream media
• 5:41
  of lying. He wrapped up by declaring that
• 5:43
  UFOs and extraterrestrial life are actually real.
• 5:47
  As of today, we've come to Twitter Carlson said in the
• 5:50
  video, we're told there are no Gatekeepers here.
• 5:53
  If that turns out false will leave his move to Twitter is not
• 5:58
  without complications though, still contractually linked.
• 6:01
  With Fox News, the shift could strain on going exit.
• 6:04
  Negotiations with his former employer reports suggest that
• 6:07
  the influential Brian Friedman is aiding Carlson in this
• 6:11
  process. But however, the big question
• 6:13
  remains whether his new Twitter show, can replicate the reach
• 6:16
  and in Fluence of his previous Fox News slut, Fox News under
• 6:20
  the stewardship of Rupert Murdoch wields, a unique power
• 6:24
  within the conservative media landscape.
• 6:26
  Thus, despite his popularity, Carlson's Venture into the
• 6:30
  twitterverse presents a formidable challenge, if he aims
• 6:33
  to recapture his former prominence.
• 6:36
  Now, the first episode of Tucker on Twitter did little to quell
• 6:40
  those doubts, the bare-bones production in subpar audio
• 6:44
  quality starkly contrasts with his Former high-end Fox News set
• 6:49
  up with Carlson even scrolling through the teleprompter himself
• 6:52
  now. However, despite the rather
• 6:54
  lackluster production, value Carlson supporters, and critics
• 6:59
  of mainstream media have held the launches a Triumph, the
• 7:03
  debut, video registered over 20 million views.
• 7:06
  However, it's important to note. That Twitter's video view,
• 7:09
  count. Pathology remains ambiguous,
• 7:12
  Elon Musk himself stated that. It's simply counts.

  Not how long you watched this methodology stands in stark
• 7:22
  contrast to Nielsen's measurement system, which
• 7:25
  calculates, the average number of concurrent viewers rather
• 7:28
  than the cumulative number of views, making direct comparison
• 7:32
  between Twitter and television, platforms complex.
• 7:35
  Now, despite these potential drawbacks musket was quick to
• 7:39
  celebrate Carlson's, adoption on his platform.
• 7:42
  He retweeted the video to his 140 million followers
• 7:46
  commenting. Would be great to have shows
