‘Fox News can't replace him’ Victor Davis Hanson on Tucker Carlson’s firing

Fox News’s daily hour-long programme, Tucker Carlson Tonight, pulled in an average audience of 3.3 million viewers in its final two months, making it by far the most viewed cable news show in America.

When the news was announced the show would be ending, Fox Corporation’s stock slumped by 3 per cent on Monday, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars in value.

One of the thrills of my life was having Professor Hanson as my history teacher at Fresno State in the mid 90’s. Hypnotic and unforgettable.

Great interview. I have such respect for Victor Davis Hanson because he always articulates the truth perfectly.

There are hundreds of videos trying to clarify what happened but no one can do it better than victor David Hanson. Clean and concise. Love listening to this gentleman.

Victor Davis Hanson is a National Treasure. Always very objective, and very thoughtful in his responses.

[vjfperez]

Tucker Carlson would bring Professor Hanson whenever there was a need to explain the meaning of major events. He is a brilliant man.

How refreshing to watch and listen to Victor David Hansen without a single interruption. I have been infuriated over at Fox when he's on with constant interruptions of this man. Clear and intelligent breakdown of all that has happened when he can talk! Thanks!

Most intelligent well spoken and accurate historian alive! I would love to be in one of his classes!

Mr. Hanson, I was really impressed by your discourse. Your ability to discern truth from fiction and right from wrong gives me hope that America can survive.

This guy has hit the nail right on the head.

VICTOR Davis Hanson really is a true Scholar. The Dying Citizen is an Amazing book and should be read by everyone to recognize the actual danger that is facing our country. I've read several of his other books and he is an amazing writer and lecturer. His goal is too educate not indoctrinate and he is a man worth listening too to understand where we are in American history. Very brilliant and talented man..

No body can sum it up better than Victor Davis Hanson.

I always follow Victor Davis Hanson. He not only understands the scope of the situation but his analysis and understanding cannot be shattered. Thumbs up on this review!

[rudolphsteiner]

The fact that his video tweet got 8 million views in 4 hours tells me his podcast will reach a broader audience than when he was on FOX

[heidicook]

I just listened to Tucker’s Heritage speech. He is a unique and irreplaceable voice.

[margaretsmithallen]

I love Victor Davis Hansen. His intellect and the way he approaches any issue causes the listener to really think.

[kariestevens]

As usual the amazing Victor David Hanson gets right to the point and hits the bullseye!

[awade]

As usual, VDH summarizes the situation perfectly.

For one thing "Fox Nation" will fail without him.

I am very angry about it! I grew up in a very conservative home in S Cal. My family warned about what was going to happen to the US back in the 50’s and 60’s. It’s worse than even they forewarned.
I was thrilled with the inception of FOX, mainly because I had followed Brit Hume, back during the Iran-Contra Hearings.
Tucker is immensely relatable and he was the main reason we continued to watch FOX. Sadly, no more FOX in our home.

Victor nailed every single point on why Fox has sealed their own fate. I'll never watch them again. Ever. Like ever.
