That's hilarious! I know I'd rather watch Tucker than Fox any day.
As for his opponents across the aisle, Trump appeared to indulge a suggestion from Carlson that Democrats might try to end Trump’s life.
“I’m looking at the trajectory since 2015 when you got into politics for real, and then won,” Carlson said. “It started with protests against you, massive protests, organized protests by the left. And then it moved to impeachment twice, and now indictment. The next stage is violence. Are you worried that they’re going to try and kill you?”
“They’re savage animals. They are people that are sick, really sick,” Trump responded. “I’ve seen what they do, I’ve seen the lengths that they go to.”
Trump also addressed his absence from the debate in the Carlson interview, citing his massive lead in primary polls. A FiveThirtyEight average of national polls had Trump with a nearly 40-point lead over Gov. DeSantis as of Wednesday, Aug. 24.
“I’m saying, ‘Do I sit there for an hour or two hours, whatever it’s going to be and get harassed by people that shouldn’t even be running for president,'” Trump asked. “Should I be doing that?”
Believe it or not, last night’s double-platformed battle of the Republican giants was not the biggest news yesterday, not even close. But we’ll start with it anyway. President Trump’s interview with Tucker posted at the same time as the other Republican nominees debate, which included Governor DeSantis, aired on Fox. As of this morning, Tucker’s Trump interview shows over 156 million views on Twitter — about half the U.S. population in number of ‘views,’ whatever that’s worth — which says something pretty incredible about the rise of disintermediated media and might actually have been the real story last night. ...
Trump supporters also have a perfectly valid grievance about the stolen 2020 election, when their candidate should have been elected. They want to right that wrong. They point to Trump’s enduring popularity in spite of four criminal prosecutions, which have only made him more attractive. ...
Fox ended its debate by asking the candidates whether they’d back Trump if he wins the election, but is also criminally convicted in one of the democrats’ politically-motivated prosecutions. All the serious candidates eventually raised their hands in a show of support. It seems to me that’s the way forward, whether Trump or DeSantis wins the primary.
Did Cucker ask a single question about the vaxx which was rammed through the system by The Donald thus enabling all the mandates?

that would not be nice
also about Trump's brilliant cabinet choices during his 1st Presidency.
Since when being nice is a consideration for impartial journalists hellbent on unearthing the thruth, no matter how ugly it could turn out?

Since our news media was reduced exclusively to propaganda.
If anybody thinks that Tucker Carlson is magically independent now, they are wrong.
The Big Story about the interview is that a streaming social media interview beat the shit out of a Presidential Debate on a Cable News channel in views.
Legacy media dying rapidly.
If the casts were flipped the teevee would beat the social media. It's not the vessel, it's the contents.
Newsmax is going public on the NASDAQ or NYSE.
Fox News is getting squeezed out by Newsmax and other independent networks like OAN.
That's why its has more Democrats on its shows, and is moving closer to the political center in order to survive and remain relevant.
My guess Fox News will end up being just right of center and let Newsmax and other networks like OAN to fill the void or gap as far as right of center.
For me I like Fox Business as a counterbalance to Bloomberg TV and CNBC.

Fox News Channel averaged 1.449 million viewers for its prime-time programming between April 24 and Sunday, third among cable networks, according to live-plus-same-day figures released by Nielsen on Tuesday. It averaged 2.058 million viewers the previous week when it did not have to face coverage of the NFL draft for two nights.
Fox News Channel had none of the week’s top 10 cable programs and only three in the 20 — two editions of “Hannity” and the first edition of “Fox News Tonight,” the network’s replacement for “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in the weeknight 8 p.m. time slot. The previous week Fox News had eight of the top 20 — five episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” (two of those in the top 10) and three episodes of “Hannity.” In Carlson’s final week before being fired, the final five editions of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” accounted for each of Fox News Channel’s five largest prime-time audiences.
The rest of the top 20 cable prime-time programs consisted of ESPN’s coverage of the first round the NFL draft, 10 NBA playoff games — eight on TNT and two on ESPN; Friday’s “NBA Courtside” on ESPN; two NHL playoff games on TNT; the MSNBC news and opinion program, “The Rachel Maddow Show”; History’s “The Curse of Oak Island” and “The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.”
