Tucker Carlson Preparing For War With Fox News. This Is Gonna Get Ugly.

Tucker Carlson is reportedly “preparing for war” against Fox News in an effort to pry himself loose from his contract with the network prior to its January 2025 end date.

According to Axios, Carlson is ready to escalate his battle with the network. A person described as a “close Carlson friend” told Axios that, up until now, the fired host has been telling friends “I want to get this done quiet and clean.” But now, according to the friend, Carlson is about to change tactics.

“We’re going from peacetime to Defcon 1,” Carlson’s friend told the outlet. “His team is preparing for war. He wants his freedom.”

“We’re deploying today a new Texas tactical border force made up of elite National Guard who are specifically trained for one thing,” Abbott said in an interview Monday with Fox News. “And that is to identify areas illegal immigrants are trying to cross the border and to fill that gap and to repel them.”
