Heavily filtered failed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake appeared on Newsmax -- another network being sued by Dominion Voting Systems -- to weigh in on Tucker Carlson being fired from Fox News. If it were anyone else other than Carlson, I'd say it would be better to immediately dismiss her advice, but I hope the fish stick millionaire heeds her advice to "break the terms" of his contract with Fox.

"I don't know what Tucker's deal is, but I worry that he might still be under contract, and they're literally going to be paying him 10, 20, 30 million a year to just sit there and be quiet," she said. "We can't afford to have Tucker Carlson's voice silenced for a year and a half."

"I don't know if Tucker's listening to this, but if he happens to hear it, I beg you, Tucker Carlson, to speak out, break the terms of that contract," she said out loud. "We need your voice over the next year and a half to save our country."

"And if you get sued by your former employer, we will help create a defense fund to help you fight that lawsuit," she said without explaining who 'we' is. "We need your voice."

"We need every American's voice who cares about this country in the next year and a half to save our constitution and to save our country," she added.

Sure, take that loser's advice, Tucker. Meanwhile, executives at Fox News reportedly possess a dossier of alleged dirt on Carlson in case he attacks the network.

Editor's note (Frances Langum): And Keith Olbermann pointed out on Wednesday's podcast that Tucker's silence likely means he wants to KEEP the $40 million Fox is still paying him. He'll lose that if he claps back against his former employer, who will then happily fire him for cause.
