Tucker Carlson’s ‘Chilling’ Final Monologue With Fox News Has Been Released For The First Time
Tucker Carlson biographer Chadwick Moore has released the never-before-seen final monologue of the former top rated cable news host final show with Fox News.
On April 24, 2023, Carlson planned to discuss how members of the U.S. government had been lobbying to get his show taken off the air. The episode never aired, however, as Carlson was informed that he was being fired after he sent the script to network executives.
“Carlson planned to tease the first part of a one-hour interview with former Capitol Police chief Steven Sund. In that interview, which Fox owns and refused to air, Sund revealed federal law enforcement and Democratic members of Congress were aware of impending violence during the January 6 election integrity protests but vetoed assistance to cops on the ground,” Moore wrote.
Carlson did end up releasing the interview with Sund — who revealed that there were several dozen federal agents embedded within the crowd on January 6 — on X and Rumble. Sund also revealed that his repeated requests for assistance from the National Guard were ignored.

In addition, Moore revealed that Carlson intended to blow the whistle on government efforts to have his show removed. “More chilling, and perhaps darkly ironic, Carlson planned to discuss members of the government lobbying to have his show taken off the air,” he wrote.
Carlson’s final monologue specifically focused on comments made by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who called for networks such as Fox News to be censored due to the January 6 Capitol protests. “We have very real issues with what is permissible on air,” Ocasio-Cortez told former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki. “And we saw that with Jan. 6, and we saw that in the lead up to Jan. 6. And how we navigate questions — not just a freedom of speech but also accountability for incitement of violence — this is the line that we have to really explore through law as well,” she continued.
The congresswoman went on to mention Carlson by name. “I believe that when it comes to broadcast television, like Fox News, these are subject to federal law, federal regulation in terms of what’s allowed on air and what isn’t,” she said. “When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence — very clearly incitement of violence. And that is the line that we have to be willing to contend with.”
According to Moore, the monologue that Carlson never gave pushed back against the “squad” Democrat’s claims.
“Members of Congress aren’t allowed to talk like this,” he said. “The constitution of the United States prohibits it. American citizens have an inalienable right to critique and criticize their political leaders. Our politicians are not gods. They’re instruments of the public’s will. They serve the rest of us, not the other way around,” Carlson wrote.
“For that obvious reason, politicians can never censor our speech or try to control what we think. That unchanging fact is the basis of our founding documents, of our political system and of our personal freedoms,” the monologue continued. “As a former government official who claims now to be a journalist, Jen Psaki should know this, and defend America’s foundational principle. She refuses. Instead, Psaki nods along like a fan as Sandy Cortez calls for law enforcement to shut down news programming.”
