Watch guest's face when Tucker Carlson exposes the REAL reason he was fired



Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, recently joined Tucker Carlson on his Twitter/X show.

Naturally, the subject of Tucker’s departure from Fox News surfaced during their conversation.

“Were you an ardent, like, ‘go, Fox, go’ guy?” Dave asked.

“My view on Fox hasn’t really changed,” Tucker responded. “They let me say ... whatever I wanted really for 14 years, and I’ll never stop being grateful for that.”

“Then obviously I said too much, and I'm not exactly sure what I said that was bad. No one ever told me. But one day they're like, ‘Oh, can't have this anymore,’ and they fired me,” Tucker continued in his ever-optimistic tenor.

“Did you feel like at Fox you could say whatever you want?” Dave pressed.

“It’s a company run by fearful women,” Tucker explained, “and they were always ... second-tier people who were hassling my producers, but no one ever called me.”

“I think they knew, like, the censorship ... [I] don't welcome that,” he explained.

However, it wasn’t until the Russia-Ukraine war broke out that things started to shift noticeably.

“My view was not pro-Russia,” Tucker went on. “This is not our fight, it's not good for us, we should just put an end to the war because people die in war. ... And just saying that was considered, like, crazy, pro-Kremlin propaganda, and they were very mad about that. But, to their credit, they never said anything to me about it directly.”

Regardless of the circumstances surrounding his departure from Fox, the former news anchor is grateful for the experience.

“Being humiliated in public, being fired ... is totally good for you in the end because it keeps you from thinking you’re Jesus,” he said.

One cannot help but admire the humility and optimism of Tucker Carlson.

Tucker Carlson’s replacement invited his DEMOCRAT MOTHER onto his FIRST show



Roughly half of Fox News’ audience said goodbye when the company fired charismatic personality Tucker Carlson, but instead of doing some damage control, Fox has decided to take a rather unconventional approach that may further ostracize its waning audience.

Jesse Watters, Tucker Carlson’s replacement, debuted his new show by calling his mother and putting her on speaker.

Perhaps some found the move charming; others, however, including Pat Gray, were definitely not impressed.

“My mom’s a Democrat, she’s a liberal, she’s pro-abortion,” Pat mocks.

Mrs. Watters did have some rather pointed advice for her son: “Let’s aim to have you keep your job,” she sneers – an apparent dig at Carlson.

“Use your voice responsibly to promote conversation that maintains a narrative thread; there really has been enough Biden bashing, and the laptop is old,” she tells her son, whose eyes are closed, fingers pressed firmly to his temples.

“Perhaps you could suggest that your people take less interest, for example, in other people’s bodies and …” but then Pat, in utter disbelief, stops the clip.

“Really?! Is that what you’re going to feature on Fox News?” he exclaims.

Keith adds, “Is this going to be a ‘let’s piss off our audience with Jesse’s mom calling in’” segment?

Not only does Pat find it a bit undignified (or in his words “lame”) for a mother to give her grown son public advice on national television, but it’s also wildly inappropriate, considering “she’s everything that [Fox News’] audience isn’t.”

“Fox may just go down that road; I wouldn’t be surprised,” Keith says.
