As outspoken as Tucker Carlson has been over the years, it was conspicuous that after being suddenly fired by Fox News, he didn’t hit them immediately. After a few days went by without him lambasting the network he has carried for a few years, some speculated they had too much leverage over him.
A new report from Axios tells us he’s ready to go to war in order to secure his future. According to the leftwing outlet (edited for format):
Tucker Carlson is preparing to unleash allies to attack Fox News in an effort to bully the network into letting him work for — or start — a right-wing rival, sources close to him tell Axios.
Bryan Freedman, the high-powered Hollywood lawyer Carlson retained for the contract dispute, told Axios: “The idea that anyone is going to silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond preposterous.”
Tucker vs. Fox could reshape the conservative news world. Fox, which has seen its ratings plunge in Carlson’s slot since he was let go 13 days ago, wants to sideline him by paying him $20 million a year not to work.
Axios has learned Carlson is busy plotting a media empire of his own. But he needs Fox to let him out of his contract, which expires in January 2025 — after the presidential election. We’re told Carlson has been contacted by outlets — including the right-wing Rumble and Newsmax — that offered to pay him more than his Fox contract.
Axios has learned that Carlson and Elon Musk had a conversation about working together, but didn’t discuss specifics. Carlson confidants say he also is contemplating building a direct-to-consumer media outlet where his millions of fans could pay to watch him. Carlson’s predecessor in his Fox slot, Bill O’Reilly, created a blueprint for this.
Two days after being booted, Carlson teased in a Twitter video posted at 8 p.m. ET, counter-programming his former show: “See you soon.” The two-minute video has racked up 24 million views.
The ousted host “knows where a lot of bodies are buried, and is ready to start drawing a map,” said a Carlson source who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. Carlson allies with big platforms are prepared to attack Fox for trying to keep him on the shelf. Bare-knuckle brawlers from Trumpworld are standing by.
The Musk component is arguably the most intriguing, buried as one might expect in the middle of the story by Axios
Carlson is probably the opening salvo of the left’s attempt to take out non-members of the Ministry of Propaganda before the 2024 election. Idiot Biden and the Democrats have NOTHING going for them but propaganda. Trump and/or the Republicans have 4 years of solid growth and success, interrupted only by COVID (courtesy of idiot Biden’s owner and employer) and all the Democrats have delivered is failure, pain, misery, tragedy, violence, embarrassment, crime, debt, waste, lies and, perhaps worst of all, the greatest erosion of the Constitution since the ink dried on it.

05/23/23 – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will kick off 2024 presidential bid with Elon Musk on Twitter
The GOP is all about choice. Which populist tool of fascist billionaire rule do you prefer?
Comrade Greggie, since more American billionaires are Democrats, which one do you prefer? I would assume Zuckerberg since he spends a lot of money rigging elections for your side.
How do you explain all of those Democratic billionaires supporting higher tax rates for corporations and billionaires?
They’re not.
Higher corporate and upper-income tax rates are a fundamental part of the Democratic Party agenda.
Except they don’t really want to. You are a sucker if you believe it. Just like you were expecting Mueller to bring home the goods.
For review.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/04/19/leftist-patriotic-millionaires-refuse-to-voluntarily-pay-higher-taxes/
Incorrect. Progressive tax rates don’t work. Democrats pretend to be against the companies that literally installed them into office via money and influence.
The Democrat Party is dead. What’s left is a de facto communist police-state that Americans soundly reject.
Rigging voting machines in AZ is one thing.
Going door to door is quite another.
Easy. They don’t pay them. Corporations pass higher taxes along to the consumers. Billionaires use tax shelters. Anything else, scooter?
Consumers can choose not to buy their products. Closing tax loopholes is also part of Biden’s agenda, scooter.
Hey… did you just describe the problem with raising corporate taxes? Yeah, when the products get more expensive, consumers go elsewhere, mostly overseas where manufacturers don’t face such stupidity. Let’s see idiot Biden close the tax loopholes Buffett, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Soros and the rest of his donor/puppeteers enjoy. Idiot Biden himself tried to cheat the nation out of taxes on $500,000 but, of course, the greatest tax dodge of all is to rake in millions for influence peddling and never claim it as income (claiming corruption income on taxes can be harmful to your freedom).
SCOOTER.
DeSantis going nowhere. He is south of 20% and losing support weekly.
All DeSantis has to do is seriously damage Trump in the minds of that 20 percent.
Highly unlikely given he is down to Trump in his own state. You are wishing for something that is not going to happen scooter.
Which he won’t.
05/23/23 – Donald Trump criminal trial is set for March 2024; judge informs Trump what he can’t say about hush money case –
DeSantis will exploit every opportunity to damage Trump, exactly as Trump did with his own republican opponents.
There’s no trial.
No crime.
Nothing but desperation from a failing regime.
Nobody can stop you from believing any damn fool thing you want. That doesn’t mean reality will go along with you.
The reality is that arresting Trump now, for ANY reason, is the Left announcing they are rebels and trying to take over our country…like they tried back in the first Civil War as Confederates.
The democrats have been unhinged ever since the republicans freed their slaves.
Yup.
More of what you people have in store…
Why do I only see this sort of crap when some right-wing outrage junkie posts it?
Because the world you live in is scrubbed of the truth.
You fit a profile.
The video is literally what your Party stands for.
It’s because it’s what outrage addicts are drawn to. The people exploiting you feed you a steady diet of it, until you imagine the whole world is engulfed in it. It isn’t. It’s all just a distraction from real problems and real issues.
You literally post outrage porn here at FA, routinely, and in exactly the same measure and tone as all the other trolls on Twitter.
You’re dismissed.
Now, here’s why we patriots keep watch, for when your eventual Christian genocide gets going, we’re able to stop it.
I’m sure you would have tried the shame the Germans standing up and saying “They are going to kill all the Jews!” for being “outrage addicts,” too.
Really? Got any examples? All of the “menace of gay/lesbian/transgender” bullshit seems to come from your own little hoard of links. Ditto all of the whacked-out religious paranoia, and thinly veiled threats that everyone who rejects it and fails to conform is going to be made to pay.
Examples?
Washington State passes law to hide runaway gender dysphoria children from their parents.
Leftist group in Louden Co. in Virginia sought to protect the school board and cover up the rape of a female student by a “trans” student, even promoting violence.

Democrats perpetuate the violence with their woke policies, then further exploit the violence.

According to greg, that’s now “outrage addiction” and it’s not actually happening.
The LGBT movement is sinister, murderous, and historically a destroyer of nations.
It’s just a fact.
The LGBT mafia literally gives OPEN threats that everyone who rejects it and fails to conform is going to be made to pay.
And you have the audacity to say
You’ve been programmed to see a boogeyman around ever corner.
You’ll fool yourself to find one.
Is this “outrage addiction” when it comes directly from the lesbian muppet in the WH?
This is literally given a night of celebration by the LA Dodgers. As you can see, it is far more widespread than the phantom “white supremacists” you actual and addicted outrage junkies declare are ubiquitous and the most lethal threat to American life. You don’t want to admit the truth and, instead, cling to lies.
Because the Ministry of Propaganda doesn’t want to advertise what immoral scumbags they are? Aren’t the people in the video the “outrage junkies”?
