Hey, everybody. Welcome to the McCrack Podcast. I'm Jared D. Sexton. I am sitting in Nick

Houselman's studio, across from a table, looking at you if people want to go to YouTube and watch

the live action replay of this thing as he moves a monitor in front of my face aggressively.

Nick Hausman, great as always to be with you and so happy to be in person.

Oh, yes. I cannot wait. This has been really great. It actually almost feels sort of the same as

when we do it virtually. It feels nice. There's something to be said about video call technology.

But here we are. As this always is the case. I don't know if this happens for you when you're like traveling for business or you're out and about something huge always happens.

Always.

Yeah.

Always.

And so here we are taping the Tuesday edition of the McRaeig podcast.

Right now it is Monday, April 24th.

Literally a couple of hours ago, a bombshell came out that Tucker Carlson, the highest rated news host, well, I put quotes around the news on Fox News, is out.

The details are sparse so far.

There's a lot that we have to get into, including what has happened here,

what the implications are, where this thing is going. What are your initial reactions, Nick?

Absolute and utter shock because it settled this case. You would have thought that it's possible

that because stuff that came out with the case, as the, you know, Dominion, more and more information came out, looks more and more damning.

Clearly, you know, Tucker doesn't look good from all the, what they've leaked so far.

So the timing is weird, right?

In my mind, like, maybe they got rid of him when the texts came out about how he can't stand Trump.

But I don't know. The reporting is starting to say that like that Murdoch forced him out. And, you know, is this the kind of thing where, you know, Trump calls Murdoch and says, I can't have this guy who's talking to me saying all these horrible things about me behind my back. Now, now that I'm thinking about it, he was just on Tucker's show.
