Story is very fresh right now with several outlets blowing it up as a 'we won!' moment and AOC calling for his arrest for incitement or some shit.
He needs to do a Rubin or something similar as he was the one thing that made people even watch fox sometimes because of his anaylsis. I sense Fox's viewing figures are going to dive again...
Depends, if the team he had follows him out the door and he sets himself up as independent (or more independent than fox) he can easily do it again or the footage 'happens' to be on his laptop and only requires re-editing to remove anything fox.
It'd be a great opening video for his platform if that was his first release.
Tucker both has nothing to lose and too much to lose.
With his Swanson wealth he can speak his mind and doesn't have to work, but he's never going to risk that on stealing footage from Fox.
Like O'Keefe could have his people sign a statement claiming the footage was their own and didn't belong to Veritas even knowing it did, but Tucker wouldn't. He'd just redo the work.
I could see Musk helping with such a venture.
