The author writing Tucker's autobiography has the full copy that up until now only Fox had seen. In reading it, it sounds just like Tucker. It is also very much a polemic against the prevailing narrative of the day.
I'm not surprised it got him fired.

But in the meantime, because the words of our leaders matter, let’s consider the substance of what Sandy Cortes is saying. She’s demanding that our show be canceled because the things we’re saying are quote, “very clearly an incitement to violence.” Is this true? Even accounting for the fact that people tend to hear what they want to hear,
it is not true. It’s a lie, as anyone who watches this show knows. We are opposed to violence, not just philosophically but in practical terms. We’re against violent crime —the strong oppressing the weak. We’re against the horrors of late-term abortion and state-encouraged euthanasia. And above all we’re passionately opposed to the violent and pointless cruelty of the war in Ukraine, which the Biden Administration could end at any moment, thus saving the lives of innocents, but is instead prolonging purely for ideological reasons. Those are the things we dislike the most — the acts of violence our leaders endorse. Ocasio-Cortes is one of those leaders. She supports every one of those indefensible things, from abortion in the ninth month of pregnancy to extending the carnage in Ukraine. Who, honestly, is on the side of violence?
What happened to Tucker was unsurprising as this behavior from Fox has been long time running. They don't like the competent researcher types, nor intelligent critical thinkers that won't side with everything the networks wants to propagandize.
I know Glenn Beck at this point is regarded as a somewhat insane chud brimming with TDS, but similar shit happened to him when he went around exposing Fox's masters. The network made him to cut out his "The Left are Nazis" tantrums (he kind of was sabotaging himself with those), so he decided to focus his shows on US history. Was lucky to watch some of these shows as they aired, but I don't quite remember if I saw the final nail in the coffin episode on the History of the Federal Reserve that got him fired (videos of that episode are floating around though). One the greatest nuggets I got out of the short run of history episodes was explaining how the post-WWI 1920 recession was handled.
Glenn Beck was always on the bad side of nutty, the most surprising thing about Tucker was that he ever got to go as far as he did on Fox.
He can form a pretty good, well-researched argument, as seen in his books. I became convinced television wasn't the place for him as it brought out his nuttiness.
This is going to shock you, but the 1921 depression was covered in my community college macro economics class. My professor was, shock of all shocks, an Austrian model economist. D:
Yea, I know, imagine that, one of them in a college of any sort, where MMT dominates all.
