So when people bring up Tucker Carlson.

It's not really a question of would it be weird anymore?

It's more like, does it fit the direction that Tucker wants to go?

Now, Tucker Carlson has been asked about running for president.

And he responded in a way that I think is completely inaccurate.

Let's listen to what he had to say.

So listen, is this false humility or not?

I don't know.

But a lot of what he's saying is flatly untrue.

A media figure like Tucker Carlson would easily win an empty congressional seat.

A media figure like Tucker Carlson would not even have a difficult time winning a contested congressional seat.

You just got to pick the right one.

But I've had extensive conversations with people in media management, people from agencies, creators.

It is absolutely doable and not even that much of a stretch for someone with a strong, independent media base to win a congressional seat.

Now, the presidency is a different thing.

I do believe the bigger question with Tucker is more about whether he would want to.

And I understand not wanting this.

I mean, you know, look at Donald Trump.

It is completely upturned his life.

You think Trump would be a convicted felon if he hadn't gotten into politics?
