| 0:16.9 | Hello everybody, some big breaking news. Tucker Carlson is returning to the airwaves, |
| 0:32.4 | but he's returning on Twitter in an interesting turn of events that comes in some big legal drama. |
| 0:38.8 | Before we play the video, we got to explain the context. One of the reasons that he is relaunching |
