The top host on cable news is out. The last episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight aired on Friday.
This was his last segment where he assured viewers he’d be back on Monday.
Here were the final moments of @TuckerCarlson Tonight – #Tucker's final guest was the pizza deliveryman who tripped up a suspected car thief. The driver – Tyler Morrell – brought a bunch of pizzas, so the two sat and ate them while mocking the thief.

So, what’s next for him and for Fox News?
No news on what Carlson is going to do next, but Fox News will be rotating in talent in the timeslot until they have decided on a permanent replacement.

Reports are coming in that Tucker’s executive producer Justin Wells is also leaving the network.

Could the comments he made on the Full Send podcast last month be the reason why Carlson has agreed to “part ways”?
These revelations Tucker Carlson spoke of last month may make his departure from Fox News make more sense. He said that the media are “part of the control apparatus” and are “not here to inform you.” He also admits to being “part of the problem.” pic.twitter.com/AVVzHWrViJ

You can see more of that interview here:
Could it be the release of the J6 footage? He was the only one willing to air it.
Maybe Rupert Murdoch’s kids are now finally exerting some pressure on Fox News to move away from the populist right.
Some unconfirmed reports suggest that it might have had to do with the Dominion lawsuit.
My sources are telling me: Tucker was all set to go live tonight. He probably had plans to talk about the lawsuit and clear his name. Producers were prepping guests and slots of Monday's show. Corporate nixed the idea and Tucker up and quit!

Who knows exactly what happened? It’s all just speculation at this point.
It was rather sudden, though. Carlson was supposed to interview GOP Presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy on his show tonight.
Admittedly, the timing is a bit curious — it’s right after the Fox News massive $787 million settlement with Dominion, and the day after both the 60 Minutes Ray Epps interview aired and AOC told Jen Psaki that the government should ban Tucker and other Fox News hosts for allegedly “inciting violence.”

More on Comrade AOC’s comments here:
Ray Epps has said that Tucker Carlson was “obsessed” with him.
“He’s obsessed with me,” Ray Epps says of Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “He’s … [trying] to destroy my life.”
Carlson has focused on Epps more than 20 times on his show, which Epps says is to shift blame from those who really instigated rioters on Jan. 6. pic.twitter.com/pBRS6tMji3

Well, yeah. It’s kinda weird that the FBI is going after the MeeMaws walking around in the Capitol, but the guy that is on film saying “go into the Capitol” both the day of, and the night before the J6 riot is left alone?
Of course, Democrats have constantly been whining that Tucker Carlson should be taken off the air for some time now.

With Tucker out, is there a single reason left to subscribe to cable?
— Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) April 24, 2023
Wow. Disastrous moment for Fox News. Tucker was by far the most important and relevant figure at the network, and in all of cable news. https://t.co/Do3cbHwGYh
— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) April 24, 2023
Tucker Carlson Tonight was the most successful cable news show in history.
The reason for it is simple: Tucker is a genius. He's the smartest person I have ever met. His monologues could make you die laughing and make you tear up in an instant.
He also cannot be bought or…

The most important voice on the right just left the biggest media company on the right.
Whatever @TuckerCarlson does next, he'll succeed.
If that something is running for president, the entire game just changed.

A lot of people are asking if @TuckerCarlson is coming to @realDailyWire.
I suspect Tucker already has a plan, but we'd break out the big novelty checkbook for him if he doesn't. pic.twitter.com/VW09QFgPOW

The Daily Wire isn’t the only one making an appeal for Tucker to join their team, Glenn Beck made an on-air appeal asking him to join Blaze TV.
Fox News' goodbye message to @TuckerCarlson sure looks like what they said when I left. I have a feeling this will KILL Fox. pic.twitter.com/oOFXnv4sKp

Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has some thoughts…
Good for Tucker. Trust me, he doesn’t need them. https://t.co/NjFqqsIV4q

Fox News stock took a dive as the news broke.
Hilarious but true: @TuckerCarlson leaving hit Fox stock harder than the Dominion suit ever did.
Look, if Steven Crowder can be offered $50 million for four years and want $120, what is Tucker worth? Here’s a hint: it starts with a b pic.twitter.com/FQpWF7z4jJ

Glenn Greenwald posted a brief thread on Twitter pointing out that Tucker wasn’t the establishment voice on Fox News.
Tucker was the cable host who most:
* Opposed US proxy war in Ukraine;
* Denounced CIA, FBI and DHS for its systemic lies and corruption;
* Devoted himself to a pardon for Julian Assange;
* Objected to regime change efforts in Cuba;
* Criticized Trump Admin's militarism. pic.twitter.com/PEduNzOyW6
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) April 24, 2023
I'm not making claims, yet, on what caused this separation. I'm just noting: the removal of Tucker means the elimination of the only real, sustained dissent on US militarism, the US Security State and more 👆(Laura & Jesse Waters are the only others in prime-time near that).
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) April 24, 2023
Oliver Darcy, who, ironically, used to be a columnist with The Daily Caller, a conservative news and opinion site that Tucker had co-founded in 2010 (he sold his stake in 2020), was crowing about the shake-up at CNN’s main competitor.
But CNN also announced some changes on Monday — misogynist serial liar and Dumbest Man On Television, Don Lemon, announced that he was (finally) fired from CNN.
— Don Lemon (@donlemon) April 24, 2023
Interesting. One of the most important and one of the least important voices in news media announced their sudden departures from their respective media outlets on the same day.
Interesting… both Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon out on the same day. pic.twitter.com/hs5tZoR9hw
— Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 (@MarinaMedvin) April 24, 2023
While CNN should’ve canned Lemon a long time ago, Fox News is undergoing a real shake-up with its talent. Dan Bongino and Lara Trump are also leaving Fox News. (Bongino said on his show that he’s not returning due to failed contract negotiations.)
Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice fired by Biden regime
Don Lemon fired by CNN
Tucker Carlson out at Fox just days after Dominion settlement
Dan Bongino out at Fox
Lara Trump out at Fox
Sure seems like there are big things going on behind the scenes

2) Run for POTUS
3) Retire and fishWhich will it be?

This is just your latest reminder that the Powers That Be don’t like the people that speak the truth bluntly and without apology.
John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.
This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.
The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.
In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.
Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
