Valuetainment CEO Patrick Bet-David recently spoke to journalist Benny Johnson regarding the details of the $100 million offer made to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Johnson shared a clip from the interview, which took place on “The Benny Johnson Show” and shared a quote from the interview given by Bet-David.
Bet-David told him that “If there is people that would like Tucker to be free to talk about whatever he has to talk about, maybe we have to pay premium for it…to get the real Tucker with no handcuffs and muzzles and all this other stuff that mainstream media was doing.”
In the interview, Bet-David applauded Elon Musk for what he is doing with Twitter so that he isn’t held hostage by advertisers.
Bet-David said that in order to “fight for Americans,” it is important that “we have to get away from relying on advertisers.”

As we previously reported, publicly posted his offer to Carlson, in hopes of bringing him on.
The offer is for Carlson to âpartnerâ with them to help âdefine the future of media.â This would include $100 million for Carlson for a 5-year contract with an equity stake in the company. Bet-David added that âWe are 100% serious about our offer.â
Valuetainment is a digital media company, that produces video podcasts as well as offers courses for entrepreneurs. Many are waiting to see what comes next for Carlson, who held the attention of many across the nation.
Earlier this year, Bet-David got a “shoutout” from Joe Rogan for his willingness to interview those who had been “canceled.”
“Thanks for the shoutout @joerogan. Appreciate you brother!”

Somehow, I don’t think a company I’ve never heard of would actually have 100 million to pay someone.
If you don’t know PBD… You need to educate yourself
He’s not careful enough and, consequently, can do a lot of social damage besides being a lawsuit magnet . Anybody brash enough to hire him should make him buy his own insurance. Otherwise, one after another of the conservative news sites might go broke.
Social damage? you must be a snowflake! only ones going broke are the woke!
“is there people that would like Tucker”?
What about-“are there people who would like Tucker”
The CEO used that grammar? Perhaps I’m wrong-I don’t have 100 mil.
Seeing how Tucker’s post got over 20 million(15 times the viewership of the dimwit Jimmy Kimmel) views the other day, I would think PBD is onto a winner
