5 highlights from Tucker Carlson's conversation with Chris Cuomo
Fired cable news hosts spoke for 2 hours
'It's called destiny'
Cuomo, who has been open about how devastated he was when he was fired in 2021, noted how Carlson seemingly took the loss of his cable news platform much better than he did.
Carlson, who said he still has "no idea" why Fox News took him off the air, appeared to credit his relatively nonchalant reaction to his faith.

"I've heard a lot of people throw around theories [about my firing], but I don't know which are true, and I don't really care," he said. "But more broadly, I understand why: it's called destiny. Your life has an arc and a path and you don't know what it is, but you can feel it happen."
Carlson, who has been fired multiple times in his career, claimed that after his most recent ousting, he "had this kind of supernatural sense that everything's going to be fine, and that, in the end, you die anyway. So what are you afraid of exactly?"
He also noted that getting fired can be beneficial for a man insofar as it teaches him to be humble.
"it's good to be fired, because it brings you low, and you don't become the overbearing a--hole that every TV person is on some level," he said. "I mean, I already am that, but I kept it in check a little bit. A little public humiliation is really important for a man. I would recommend it to all men."
Cuomo asked Carlson if he was able to maintain his ebullience because of medication, which Carlson denied.
"I don't take Advil," he said.
