Tucker Knows Where He Wants to Broadcast From Next: Twitter
Carlson posted a video to Twitter, ripping Fox, and calling Twitter the only free speech platform left in the world. “Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world. The only one is Twitter. Where we are now. Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter. We bring some other things, too, which we’ll tell you about. But for now, we’re just grateful to be here. Free speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no others.”

She would later go on to get the role of Black Widow in Iron Man 2, and 7 more movies after that. But that took some time.
“I got turned down for two roles — the first was Iron Man 2 and then the other one was Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity,” she said. “I had wanted that role so much.

I think I was offered every Marilyn Monroe script ever. I was like, ‘Is this the end of the road creatively?’ ”
