My prediction: Tucker starts another RW network

Tucker Carlson has a big problem: anyone who has enough money to pay him what he thinks he deserves has already fired him at least once.

So…what will probably happen, in my view, is Tucker will get the Falun Gong to advance him the money to start something like “Epoch TV” to go along with their insane newspaper.

"defiance" against whatever it is they are defying. It was an easy performance that let them feel they were part of the club that loves tfg and guns and Jesus, and hates everyone and everything else.

The membership in the club is the valuable thing to them. If they have to go looking for Carlson, and if the rest of the members are not there with them, it will lose a lot of its appeal to them.

Of course that could be completely wrong, but I think there are strong indications that the content of these programs is not the point. It is the fact that these programs unify MAGAs. They act as a virtual clubhouse.

he's still under contract with fox until 2024. I believe they are doing that so he doesn't fuck over the election. and two newsmax has offered him full control if he signs on with them.
