Tucker Carlson has lots of options to continue his punditry career when he officially obtains a release from his Fox News contract.

OANN and The Blaze have already made overtures. The struggling-for-relevance NewsNation channel as well as Newsmax are supposedly interested in his services.

The financially secure former Tucker Carlson Tonight host obviously has enough money in the bank to launch his own independent content channel.

Should he consider joining forces with an existing enterprise, Florida-based media company Valuetainment has publicly offered Tucker, the most influential political commentator in America, a sweet deal.

Entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David, the Valuetaniment founder, first went on Megan Kelly’s podcast to go public with the offer, which would give Carlson a significant role in running the place in addition to a podcasting show.

Unveiling the offer on Tuesday, Bet-David told Kelly the following:

“I believe Tucker’s voice is one of the most necessary voices in America…here’s what our offer is…a hundred-million-dollar, five-year offer, equity position in the company, a president position and a board seat to make decisions on what we want to do with [documentaries], movies, specials, any other shows, and whatever else he wants to talk about, podcast, show, all of it on OTT*, but that is an offer we’re making to Tucker. Tucker knows how to get a hold of me, and we feel he is a once-in-a generation type of a voice, and we would love to have him be here with Valuetainment.

“We may not be the biggest — obviously there’s a lot bigger names out there — but if you want to team up with somebody that’s got the vision in place, the cause in place, and is a true believer on how great of a country America is that is worth fighting for, and the fight is a real fight because the enemy is real, we feel we’re the right fit to partner with somebody like Tucker Carlson…”

Watch:


In response to a question from Kelly, Bet-David vowed to pay the production costs of any new Tucker Carlson show, and that he would never “muzzle” him.

What Kelly might have been alluding to is that some media companies will make a big offer to a podcast talent, but require the talent to fund the infrastructure out of the contract amount.

Tucker was reportedly already making $20 million a year, but the differential is that the proposed Valuetainment deal, if it ever comes pass, includes an ownership stake pulse more sway over the direction of the media company.

The flagship Valuetainment podcast has about four million subscribers on YouTube in addition to other platforms.

Bet-David, an immigrant from Iran who served in the U.S. military, made his fortune in the insurance agency.

Bet-David didn’t seem like he would be dissuaded by any controversial Carlson videos or text messages that might continue to be leaked.

“We’re not signing somebody that’s perfect. We’re not expecting perfection. It’s never been our standard. Our standard’s been progress, and if you look at history for the people that had the guts to fight for freedom, they were never perfect. So if you’re expecting for a perfect person to show up, good luck to you…we like his fight, we like what he stands for. I don’t have a problem with how he is behind closed doors. Again, we’re not expecting somebody to be perfect…”

*OTT is over-the-top media, i.e., content direct to consumer.

In addition to tweeting out the offer, Bet-David discussed the offer on his own show:
