Tucker Carlson Tells Reporter He Will Announce Candidacy For President - Then Hits Him With Stunner

Hello ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America

You know, I think I speak for all of us when I say we miss Tucker Carlson

but we're not going to have to miss him much longer. Folks, before we get started, please remember to like, comment, share and subscribe

Those little things, they really help us out and help our channel continue to grow

and spread the conservative message. So, a liberal reporter for Insider decided to text Tucker Carlson on Tuesday

and he wanted to scoop. He asked Tucker Carlson, do you plan to run for president, president of the United States

And Tucker said, yes, and I'm going to announce Friday in New Hampshire

Now, this by any measure is a blockbuster story. It's a huge story, but it gets more interesting

So, the reporter tells him he can't go by just a text message

He needs, you know, some kind of confirmation. And Tucker gave him the confirmation

He said he was just kidding and that he's an a-hole. Let's take a look at the actual text exchange

Now, Mathias Schwartz is the reporter in question here. And he says to Tucker, are you going to run for president

Pretty matter of fact. Tucker responds, yes, announcing Friday in New Hampshire

The reporter then goes insane. Can I call you? I would like to be first with this, but I can't stand it up with one text

Let me know. A voice call would be helpful. Tucker responds, totally kidding, sorry

You got me, the reporter says, indicating that he's not really angry about this

And then Tucker says, I can never control myself. I'm fundamentally a a-hole

My apologies. The reporter says, it's okay. I can appreciate a good troll

So, you've ruled out 2024 completely, it sounds like. Now, the story here is, of course, that the reporter got trolled, but there's more to the story

Tucker never responded to ruling out 2024. Now, as we've mentioned here in the past

we believe that that is a possibility just to keep himself in the spotlight

However, it seems to be more and more of a remote possibility as time goes on

And I don't expect people that are not in the political reporting sphere to understand

everything about a presidential campaign. But you need an exploratory committee first

You need to set up a whole infrastructure to your campaign. And you need to have, you know, a team, a ground game

You have to have people. You have to have a campaign manager. You have to know if it's even plausible for you to fund a campaign

You have to get donations and fundraisers and all kinds of things

This reporter, whose job it is to know all the things I just told you

believes that Tucker Carlson, right after being fired, could form all of the things he needed to form and make an announcement by that Friday

That's what that reporter thought. And it makes you wonder, how do you even get a job as a political reporter

if you don't understand the basic fundamentals of running a presidential campaign? Seems kind of weird

And you know, it tells you kind of where the media is at today. He wanted this story so much

they didn't really care about the logistics of any of it. It's just a game for these people

And just to get headlines and be first with the scoop. And then he wrote a whole article about how Tucker Carlson is a jerk and this and that

You know, how he tricked him after he pretends that he's okay with it. So after he pretends that he's okay with it

he writes this whole article demeaning Tucker Carlson, who he's already referred to as a far-right firebrand, by the way

Just a big whiny crybaby story about it. It's hard to believe

Now, I'm going to leave this story in the top of the comments for you if you want to read more about it

In the meantime, folks, I ask you to like, comment, share, and subscribe. We love you guys

God bless you. Take care, everybody
