UPDATE: Daily Mail and from Tucker Carlson himself:

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Appetizers plus entrée!’ Looks like Tucker Carlson doesn’t give two Fox about his ouster from network – gleefully telling DailyMail.com his future plans while tooling off to a romantic date night with wife Susan

It’s been barely two days since his brutal ouster from Fox News – but Tucker Carlson looks like a man without a care in the world.

The TV firebrand shrugged off the media storm and insisted he was more interested in enjoying a romantic date with his wife Susan as he broke his silence in an exclusive chat with DailyMail.com.

‘Retirement is going great so far,’ chuckled Carlson, 53, as he emerged from his $5.5 million beach home in Boca Grande, Florida on Tuesday night. ]…]

Dad-of-four Carlson zoomed off in a golf cart without elaborating on reports that he was ‘blindsided’ by Monday’s shock announcement that he was ‘parting ways’ with Fox – despite being the network’s biggest prime-time star.

But DailyMail.com understands that he spent Tuesday huddling with right-hand man Justin Wells – who lost his executive producer gig – as the cable news veterans plotted their next move.

Former Fox host Glenn Beck and Jeremy Boreing, the founder of conservative media company, The Daily Wire, have both said they’d love to offer a job to Carlson, who courted controversy by arguing against US involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and rejected the notion that January 6 was an insurrection.

Sources say, however, that Carlson is unlikely to make any significant moves while powerhouse Hollywood attorney Bryan Freedman negotiates his exit package with Fox Corp brass.

Freedman is also representing axed CNN anchors Don Lemon – who was fired the same day as Carlson – and Chris Cuomo, who wants a $125 million payout for wrongful termination.

1. Conservative Tree House has an excellent article

[…] First, Carlson was being paid about $20 million a year by Murdoch.  He had about 3 years left on his contract and will be paid the full contract amount.  Carlson found out about 10 minutes before Fox Corp made the announcement.  They did not “part ways,” Tucker Carlson was fired. […]

For financial context, remember Rupert Murdoch paid Megyn Kelly $15 million (Via Harper Collins) for the 2015/2016 operation against Donald Trump.  Paying $60 to $100 million to get rid of Carlson’s antagonistic voice is small money to Murdoch Inc. in the grand scheme of things. [Murdoch has also paid for Ron DeSantis to oppose Trump]

Carlson will not be asked to sign an NDA, is not bound by a “non-compete” clause following the contract nullification by Fox Corp, and will be free to do anything he wants in any venture.  Additionally, he will be free to say whatever he wants about the issues at Fox and speak freely, or not, without any legal or contractual constraints.  Keep all of that in mind.

2. Paul Joseph Watson shows some of his critics celebrating and the claims which are projections rather than any attempt at truths

3. Gad Saad on Tucker. “When you shoot for the King, you better not miss”. (Actually it’s mostly about Gad and what his friends say about hGad’s non-left supporting opinions and nothing about Tucker much at all)

4. Viva Barnes on Tucker. His first question to his guest was answered by Conservative Tree House. He was fired period. No variation on it at all. Terms and conditions are in the CT article linked in item 1. The new info here appears to be that it was FOX that WOULD NOT LET Tucker play his Jan 6 footage which would have exonerated more and more people from prison after the false flag event at The Capitol Bldg.

Looking forward to where Tucker lands. If he goes on Spotify, it will be so satisfying to buy a subscription.
