On Monday, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson retweeted a video by author and Spectator contributor Chadwick Moore who revealed the title of his new biography on the former Fox News star. Within the two-minute video, Moore revealed that his sources told him that Carlson was fired due to the demands of voting machine software company Dominion as a condition of their settlement with Fox.
“I have spent the last researching and writing this book and during that time, I’ve gotten to know Tucker, his family, his friends, and his staff very well. In fact, I’ve gotten to know Tucker the person, not the character that his enemies try to portray. I was working closely with Tucker when he was taken off the air by Fox,” Moore revealed when giving viewers details about his new book.
In addition, Moore also revealed he’s “seen the monologue that Tucker planned to deliver on Monday, April 24 before his show was abruptly taken off the air.”
“That monologue dealt with among other things, investigations around January 6 and particularly Ray Epps. The only person captured on video inciting people to violence at the capitol that day and allegedly an FBI informant who still hasn’t been arrested or charged,” Moore added.

“Ironically, a good part of the monologue also dealt with the people and forces that are trying to silence him like AOC and others in government,” he continued.
The part of the video statement that grabbed the most attention was Moore’s revelation that Carlson was reportedly fired at the behest of Dominion. “It has now been reported that his firing was a condition demanded by Dominion as part of the settlement with Fox. Although Dominion has denied this, my sources have intimate knowledge of the situation and they have assured me even before this news leaked that that is in fact the truth,” Moore said.
He then added that “if that is true, that would mean that a small group of people who have a controlling interest in Domimion have managed to silence what is arguably the most important and influential conservative voice in the country. Possibly until after the next presidential election.”
Moore ended by assuring Carlson fans everywhere that he’s “confident that he will not be silenced.”
A Fox News spokesperson said it is "categorically false" that Carlson lost his job as part of the network's settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.

5/22/2023CHADWICK MOORE: Hey guys, Chadwick Moore here. I’m the author of a new biography about Tucker Carlson titled: “Tucker.” I have spent the last researching and writing this book and during that time, I’ve gotten to know Tucker, his family, his friends, and his staff very well. In fact, I’ve gotten to know Tucker the person, not the character that his enemies try to portray. I was working closely with Tucker when he was taken off the air by Fox. And as some of you know I was also a regular on his show and I happened to be a guest on the final episode of the show which was on April 21.
I have also seen the monologue that Tucker planned to deliver on Monday, April 24 before his show was abruptly taken off the air. That monologue dealt with among other things, investigations around January 6 and particularly Ray Epps. The only person captured on video inciting people to violence at the capitol that day and allegedly an FBI informant who still hasn’t been arrested or charged. Ironically, a good part of the monologue also dealt with the people and forces that are trying to silence him like AOC and others in government.
It has now been reported that his firing was a condition demanded by Dominion as part of the settlement with Fox. Although Dominion has denied this, my sources have intimate knowledge of the situation and they have assured me even before this news leaked that that is in fact the truth. If that is true, that would mean that a small group of people who have a controlling interest in Domimion have managed to silence what is arguably the most important and influential conservative voice in the country. Possibly until after the next presidential election.
Knowing Tucker as I do, I’m confident that he will not be silenced, as I’m sure all of you are as well. If you’re interested in knowing more, if you want to know more about who Tucker is. About his history, his passion, and what motivates him, again the title of the book is Tucker. And it’s available for preorder now at Tuckerthebook.com, or wherever books are sold.
