And yet, Tucker was able to report on him fairly.

Beck invited him to Blaze TV. He’s got an offer from OAN. I’m sure there are other offers.

Technically, according to Megyn Kelly, he’s still in Fox’s employ while they negotiate the terms of his departure. As such, he’s not yet free to accept The Blaze, OAN, or any other offer. When he can, I’m sure he’ll make a great decision.

After going over a lot of sources I'm leaning here: Chuck Schumer had a cow over Carlson airing the bit of tapes that he did and blasted Paul Ryan at Fox. Ryan relayed that to the old man who was already upset about Tucker's continual references to our Creator. Rupert, like WWE's Vince McMahan, remains the true head of his organization despite made-up appearances of stepping aside.

Another wrestling analogy in play here is how most performers have 'Non-Performance' clauses in their contracts so they can't work for competitors for a period of time. It appears that has been laid on Tucker as well.

Good thing he has more money than he'll ever be able to spend should he go do whatever he wants regardless.

People who live in stone houses should not throw glass.

Trump and Tucker have both proven they fight


He also drinks too much!

Glen talking about GOD doesn’t bother me; just if he talks about Mormonism as being the ONLY correct way.

She could be making it up

But Tucker did confess to saying something I would have thought was beneath him.

Does being a Christian mean that a person NEVER screws up after making a decision to follow Christ?

Of course not. But you certainly can do things that mess up your Christian witness to the world. It’s hard to reconcile his kind of behavior with being fired for being a christian.
In addition to messing up his witness I would expect to be fired if I used invective like that in a work email, which was my point. I think there were other reasons for his firing most of which are political

Rupert no longer runs day to day operations, but he’s still the Big Boss.

According to reports I’ve read, Tucker did not have a non-compete.

Which he doesn’t. He does get into faith-related topics once in a while.

So true about the email.

If you’re gonna get upset and slide into nasty cuss words, better to place in into a real-time, audible only format.
