Tucker Carlson Could Get Himself Sued For Hosting Republican Candidate Forum

The Blaze media announced that Tucker Carlson is going to be hosting a Republican presidential candidate forum with multiple Republican candidates this coming Friday. And while the media is focusing on the fact that Donald Trump is not among the candidates in the lineup, they missed the fact that this would constitute an egregious breach of contract on Carlson's part and could wind up getting him sued by Fox News. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains the legal issues that Carlson obviously knows could arise from this stunt.

The Blaze Media announced this week that they're going to have Tucker Carlson this coming Friday host a livestream presidential forum with six of the top Republican candidates for president. That includes, of course, Ron DeSantis, Vik, Rema Swami, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, and Asa Hutchinson. Right? Those are the top people running for president on the Republican side, like there's not one person above that. I mean, maybe somebody who's polling ahead of all of those people put together, you could, could have thrown into that mix. Nope. You're just gonna have Tucker talk to the uh, second string candidates. Yeah, that makes total sense right now, obviously the omission of Donald Trump is what has gained headlines over the last two days, which if you ask me, yeah, it's a big deal, but you're kind of missing the entire point of the story and I have yet to see this talked about anywhere.

But it is the fact that Fox News currently holds the contract for Tucker Carlson appearing as a host of anything. And if Tucker Carlson appears on the Blaze Media hosting a presidential forum, that could be grounds for Tucker Carlson to be sued by Fox News. Now we have talked about the fact in the last few weeks, right? Last few months really ever since Tucker Carlson was let go from Fox News, he's still technically under contract with them until January of 2025. And as long as he got his pay, he cannot break that contract. But he's been hosting his little show on Twitter, which has now lost like 90 some odd percent of its audience. Um, and they've threatened to sue him over that. And portions of that contract, which I've talked about here on Ring of Fire, were published a few weeks ago by Axios, and that contract is very clear.

Fox News os the rights to Tucker Carlson appearing in the media like not hosting the Tucker Carlson show, Tucker Carlson going on the air. That thing is owned by Fox News under that contract. So appearing on the Blaze Media in any capacity other than as a guest is a breach of contract. I mean, that thing is pretty black and white. I mean, Fox News's lawyers did a hell of a job working it up because it actually and I love this part and it's why I bring it up all the time, they even included that Tucker Carlson cannot go and host a show on platforms that haven't even been invented yet. So if we suddenly develop hologram technology that everybody has in their homes, Tucker Carlson can't do a hologram of himself doing his show. That's how in depth and thorough Fox's contract with Tucker Carlson is.

But at this point, considering the fact that Tucker's still doing his stupid little Twitter show and the fact that he's gonna be doing this thing for the Blaze, it leads me to believe that Tucker Carlson wants them to sue. And Fox has threatened it multiple times. They've sent cease and desist letters and then didn't sue after he didn't cease or desist. So it seems like the network doesn't want to sue Tucker kind of seems like he wants them to. And so round and round we go, and this to me is just Tucker's latest attempt to be like, what are you gonna do? You gonna take me to court? Take me to court. He is baiting them. He is basically begging them, come sue me because I want it. Now the question I have, a question I do not have an answer to unfortunately is why does he want it? Cuz he clearly does, right? That much is obvious.
