Two days after Tucker Carson was suddenly pink-slipped by Fox News, the former cable host has broken his silence — at the exact same time that his long-running FNC show would have aired.
“The thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are. They’re completely irrelevant,” he began in a video missive posted online just after 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET Wednesday.
Lashing out at so-called “liars” and declaring “the iron law of the universe,” Carlson — who ironically just last week was the host of TV’s top-rated cable news show and among the most powerful people in television — postulated: “Our current orthodoxies won’t last. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’ve given up persuasion. They’re resorting to force.”
He then offered: “Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren’t many places left, but there are some, and that’s enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope.”

“When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful,” Carlson went on to proclaim to his Twitter followers. “At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink. They become weaker. That is the iron law of the universe. True things prevail.”
Well, something will prevail eventually in the case of Carlson, one way or another. He ended the video with, “See you soon.”
Having recently retained Hollywood legal brawler Bryan Freedman for what could be a public battle with the Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox News, Carlson has been at the heart of false 2020 election claims and Fox’s very embarrassing dispute with Dominion Voting
