The first episode of Tucker Carlson's much anticipated 10-minute Twitter show has attracted more than 80 million views and counting in less than 24 hours.
Conservatives claim the former Fox News host's monologue 'broke the media matrix,' with over one million views within the first hour it was posted on June 6 but critics were not convinced and dismissed it as 'amateurish.'
The short clip, which appeared next to a 'Tucker on Twitter' logo, has now reached 199k retweets, 657k likes and 67 millions views.Some said that by the time they finished watching the number of views had already increased by a million.

Any "critic" who called the show amateurish are jealous.
They wish their best way in any way as good Tucker's worst.

Theres no closed captioning so millions of older people can not understand what Tucker said.

I've seen such criticism, #1, and, as always, they never address the substance.
Just another example of lies by omission, a totalitarian media staple.

I love Tucker - - and hope he comes back as a roaring success - - but - -
- - but when he starts talking about non-human spacecraft and extra-terrestrial pilots - - he comes off as ridiculous. The nearest solar system to ours is 23.5 trillion miles away. Can anyone seriously believe that any species brilliant enough to make a craft which could travel 23.5 trillion miles - - would then just hover over a swamp somewhere - - and disappear?
Tucker - - please - - get off the outer space creature shtik - - and stay with your brilliant political analyses.

It will be interesting if Liberal Pundits follow Elon Musk's call for them to follow Tucker's lead and try their own "show" or whatever it is. There is no one on the democrat side who can draw flies much less 80 million views as Tucker did.
It will just be a repeat of "Air America" the liberal network that they claimed would shut down Rush Limbaugh just as soon as everybody heard the brilliant commentary and fresh ideas of the Democrat Party. Never happened they lost money from day one.
The key to the next election is combating the fraud. To compete, we have got duplicate the way they voted. Early voting, legal ballot harvesting, secure drop boxes, etc.
They can deny the cheating charge all they want but the claim that Joe Biden, the joke of the senate for forty years and an embarrassment as a Vice President for eight got eighty one million free and fair votes in 2020 is pure fantasy.

The story seems to be that there is a Tucker show— watch the 10- minute clip.
THE CONTENT of the show is vitally important and addresses and explains how we have gotten to the point that what is important is no longer reported. BRILLIANT
Don’t miss that or you miss everything

Tucker out-foxed Fox News. He's showing the Cable Nets, that they are well past their best use date. That they are the old way of communicating. In fact Elon may launch his own network. Welcome to the 21st Century.

#4 - Thank you, thank you, thank you. His prime-time show would go over a cliff every time he went there, particularly with the X-Files-like intro. There's a reason the main-stream media doesn't chase these stories, Tucker - they're fantasy. I don't know what he sees in it any more than what another otherwise-solid journalist - Megyn Kelly - saw in the Duggars.

I watched Tucker's "show." It isn't amateurish. People who say that find it easier to attack him than what he says. What i wonder is, how does a Twitter pundit make money? Tucker may be rich enough to work for free but others may not. Will he or they have to run ads on their content? 80 million views would attract a lot of advertisers, I think.

When I was little - a long time ago - I'd go to Saturday matinees with my friends. They'd show cartoons first and then the feature film. The cartoons were great and laugh-out-loud funny. It was Walt's Disney Productions and his goal was to create a story line that'd make people laugh and perhaps teach them about friendship and loyalty and other good things. The humor was usually slapstick - never subtle. The characters chased one another around in little cars or hit one another on the head with a cat or something. The cartoons made you happy, which was Walt's intent.
Every once in awhile, though, the theatre would show a cartoon that was different. It must have been made by an independent filmmaker. You had to listen to what was being said and think a little about what was happening in the story. Sometimes the plot had a few layers. The humor was often subtle. I always was happy when they'd slip one of those into the mix on Saturdays because much as I loved Bugs Bunny, watching his cartoons did not make me think too much.The independent film made me and my friends think and feel a little smarter. We were not just passively watching the screen. I don't know if that was the filmmaker's intent, but it was a good thing. Needless-to-say, our parents had no fears that some bad content would be put into something we watched - it did not happen.
Tucker is like the independent filmmaker; he's an original thinker. It is refreshing to know he does not read a script someone else has given him. I assume he writes his own copy. He respects his audience. Like the indie filmmaker, he knows his audience "gets" what he's telling them. That is why he was so popular at Fox. The People knew that Tucker never underestimated them, and that's why his audience deserted the network when he left. People know that when they listen to Tucker they are getting objective truth. And his humor IS often subtle. Tucker loves our country, and I wish him much good fortune!!!

If liberal pundits took Elon's advice, they'd be lucky to get 80 thousand views. Just a little short of Tucker's audience

Trucker Carlson and Twitter have tapped into the great need for discussing the new Biden war.

#4, #8 I agree with you about Tucker going off into the weeds when he talks about ET’s and other UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena).
#4 your logic about the distances required to come here from the nearest known galaxy that might contain sentient beings is also reasonable.
However, I have a bit of a different take. Using #4’s logic, if a race of beings with the intelligence to travel that far are really coming here, then they clearly have the ability to travel those immense distances in a way we can only imagine.
In a way, it is similar to religion where we admit that the Creator is the final arbiter of what can and cannot be, not man.
So far, we have no logical explanation for what so many people have observed.
Why is it so hard to believe/admit that we don’t know everything and that maybe there IS a way to travel such distances which we haven’t yet discovered?
I prefer to keep all options open no matter how crazy it might sound.
Otherwise, I thought Tucker was great and I for one, am looking forward to seeing and hearing more from him whether it’s on Twitter or some other venue. Fox needs to butt out and admit they f’d up big time.
