On Thursday, Tucker Carlson’s interview with Kanye West propelled the show to the most-watched show on television. The interview had 3.587 million viewers according to Adweek, over 300,000 viewers from normal.
Carlson finally overtook “The Five,” Fox News’s five-panel daytime news talk show that dominates ratings consistently throughout the week. These numbers end a 7-week streak for “The Five” as the most-watched news show on cable.
This interview grabbed thousands of headlines all over the internet as the virality of the clips may fail to do Tucker’s viewership numbers justice.
Many clips from this interview went viral, some of which include when Kanye admitted he’s pro-life as he brought statistics to back up his belief.
“I’m pro-life…. I don’t care about people’s responses I care about the fact there’s more black babies being aborted than born in New York City at this point,” Kanye responded. “ That 50 percent of black death in America is abortion. So I really don’t care about people’s response. I perform for an audience of one and that’s god.”
Kanye also addressed headlines of his fashion show by donning a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt.
In response to why he wore the shirt, Kanye recalled a text conversation with his dad.
“I said, ‘I thought the shirt was a funny shirt; I thought the idea of me wearing it was funny.’ And I said, ‘Dad, why did you think it was funny?’ He said, ‘Just a Black man stating the obvious,’” Kanye told Carlson.
As a result of this interview and recent comments and posts, Kanye has now been banned for violation of terms of service on Instagram.
Carlson continues to please the audience with groundbreaking segments and interviews. Tucker was recently joined by Tulsi Gabbard as she explained why she is leaving the Democratic party.
“I love our country and I took an oath as a service member, as a soldier, as well as a member of Congress, to support and defend the Constitution. That’s an oath I take extremely seriously,” she said on Tuesday.
“When you look at this party, today’s Democratic Party, it’s controlled by fanatical ideologues who hate freedom. They despise the Constitution. They actively find ways to undermine our God-given rights enshrined in the Constitution like freedom of speech,” Gabbard continued.
