LEAKED: Is This What Got Tucker Fired?

Tucker Carlson’s final monologue has been leaked to journalist Emerald Robinson.

Emerald Robinson told Twitter on Wednesday. “Yes, I have the April 24th monologue that Fox News stopped Tucker from doing on his show. I can confirm that Tucker was going to discuss Ray Epps, AOC, and Jen Psaki.”

Here’s the opening part of Tucker’s planned monologue, leaked to Robinson:

Members of Congress aren’t allowed to talk like this. The Constitution of the United States prohibits it.

American citizens have an inalienable right to critique and criticize their political leaders. Our politicians are not gods. They’re instruments of the public’s will.

They serve the rest of us, not the other way around. For that obvious reason, politicians can never censor our speech or try to control what we think.

That unchanging fact is the basis of our founding documents, of our political system and our personal freedoms.

Here is the final Tucker Carlson monologue that actually aired on Fox News:

Part of the leaked monologue contained a bit on Ray Epps and his connection to the January 6th riots—a topic touched on by Carlson on more than one occasion.

Luke Rudkowski asked “Oh, so Ray Epps and AOC, the day before Tucker gets canned go on national television for a coordinated smear attack?”

Chadwick Moore, Tucker Carlson’s biographer previously claimed that this was the reason behind Tucker Carlson’s ouster from Fox News:

For the last year, I've been writing the definitive biography of @TuckerCarlson, based on thorough research and 100+ hours of interviews.

But there's some info that can't wait for July 18: the scoop on why Fox canceled his show.

Trending Politics provided more of the monologue initially leaked to Robinson:

January 6th was a violent insurrection they tell us — and on the basis of that claim, they’ve turned the war on terror against America’s own citizens.

We believe that is a false characterization. As we’ve said many times January 6th was not an insurrection, which is why no one has been charged for that crime.

No guns were brought into the Capitol. No plans to overthrow the government have ever been found. It was not an insurrection.

But there was violence. A Capitol police officer called Michael Byrd executed Ashli Babbit, an unarmed protestor, and was praised for doing it by politicians in both parties.

Outside the building, a riot broke out. Windows were smashed; cops were assaulted. We were offended by this on the day it happened, and we said so. We still are.

We’re against violence, whether it’s in Chicago, Ferguson, downtown Kenosha or on the west steps of the Capitol building in Washington.

The main question from January 6th is, how did the violence start? Nearly two and a half years later, we still can’t say with certainty, but there are clues in the contemporaneous video tape.

The night before the riot, for example, a man called Ray Epps was caught on camera encouraging protestors to breach the capitol.”
