Tucker Carlson and Bill O'Reilly.
  • Bill O'Reilly predicts Tucker Carlson's ouster at Fox News will cause trouble for the GOP. 
  • Carlson has great influence over the party's far-right flank, O'Reilly said.
  • "Because the Republican Party, most of it, paid attention to Tucker Carlson," O'Reilly said. 

Bill O'Reilly, who was forced out from Fox News in 2017, thinks Tucker Carlson's ouster from Fox News could have not only "a tremendous effect on the future of the Fox News Channel," but also on the 2024 presidential election.
