STEVE BANNON (HOST): Tucker is the prominent populist voice, he is the only populist voice in primetime on a mainstream media channel and he's got the biggest audiences, audiences bigger than all of CNN prime time combined. There's clearly a huge appetite out there. They don't even let him have a -- I mean the lack of respect, like the lack of respect they show Trump, the lack of respect they show Tucker, who are you guys? You're in our country, you're not even Americans. What are you doing over here? Why?

No one should watch Fox, just take the clicker and cut it off. They hate you, they disrespect you, the people that you follow and admire, like President Trump and Tucker, they totally disrespect. And here's what the Tucker drill is going to be. He's got a long-term contract, Wall Street Journal said yesterday that he was negotiating an extension of 2029, right? And I think he still has got a couple of years, two or three years left in the contract, just like Lou Dobbs and those other guys, they pay him out under the terms because they don't want to set up competitors and they pay him out the 20 million bucks, he doesn't have the option of going somewhere else. 

This is to take the voice of populism and the voice of MAGA off of prime time.
