JUST IN: Tucker Carlson Doing First LIVE Interview Since Fox Departure—Here’s When & Where To Watch

I wonder how big of an audience this will attract. …

It’s no secret that social media influencers are trouncing the traditional mainstream media in terms of views and audience numbers.

Tucker Carlson, who has managed to draw crowds on social media several times the size of audiences on prime-time, mainstream media, is no stranger to this phenomenon.

At least one source familiar with the matter says that Tucker Carlson is quietly accruing funding to begin a new media venture.

Russell Brand recently announced that Tucker Carlson will be doing his first live interview, since his unexpected departure from Fox News earlier this year, with him on his Rumble show—here’s when and where to watch:

According to Axios, Fox News sent Tucker Carlson a cease and desist letter regarding his current Twitter show:

The cease-and-desist letter has “NOT FOR PUBLICATION” in bold at the top.

Fox is continuing to pay Carlson, and maintains that his contract keeps his content exclusive to Fox through Dec. 31, 2024.

Carlson is making a First Amendment argument for posting on Twitter, and asserts that Fox has committed material breaches of his contract.

Here’s Tucker Carlson’s latest monologue on Twitter, he provided this header: “Rick from Boston is telling us he wants to be known as female Admiral Rachel Levine. Accept his lie or pay the consequences, bigot.”

Puck recently reported:

The eight remaining members of the Tucker Carlson Tonight team were told Monday that they would need to leave by mid-July, with the option to reapply for new positions.

Such an outcome doesn’t seem terribly likely, of course.

I am told that the vast majority of these employees will instead reunite with Tucker, who is currently posting Twitter videos from his barn in Maine, with bigger media ambitions afoot.
