Do not worry, he is just helping Mr. Carlson gain popularity and improve image among his listeners. If I was Mr Carlson I would take that this marvelous gift as you say "to the bank".
I don’t think Tucker has a popularity problem. More likely another drama queen vax phagg squealing for the camera to get his 15 seconds.
Right now, Tucker is THE most popular cable news host out there. Used to be Hannity. Before that, O'Reilly,
Tucker is way ahead of anyone else now, by light years.
