Tucker Carlson and PublicSq

Tucker Carlson's Last Country media venture has secured a $1 million advertising deal with conservative shopping app Public Square, confirmed by PublicSq.'s CEO, Michael Seifert.

This collaboration assumes considerable importance as the 2024 presidential election looms just over a year away. PublicSq. emerges as the inaugural advertiser in a series of potential partnerships with Carlson, a prominent figure in the political landscape. The ads produced by PublicSq. are primed to debut on Tucker Carlson's show, hosted on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), commencing in November and extending throughout the forthcoming campaign season.

What sets this partnership apart is the integration of PublicSq.'s stance against environmental, social, and governance investment policies into the content of Carlson's show. The narrative emphasizes support for patriotic small businesses and aligns with PublicSq.'s broader objectives.

Since its recent debut, Tucker Carlson's show has garnered substantial viewership, thanks in part to interviews with influential conservative figures, including former President Donald Trump and 2024 Republican primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Notably, Carlson's exit from Fox News was closely linked to the network's settlement of a high-profile defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems, with Carlson playing a central role in the public legal battle.

PublicSq. is gaining momentum with new Republican board members like Nick Ayers and Kelly Loeffler, boosting its disruptive impact. Their revenue saw an impressive 300% increase in the second quarter.

PublicSq.'s ambitious plans include the launch of an extensive e-commerce shopping experience on November 1, offering a comprehensive selection of 400,000 products. The company's financial results are set to be unveiled on November 14, and PublicSq.'s stock, which initially surged to $35.57 following its merger with Colombier Acquisition Corp., is currently trading at over $5.

The collaboration is significant due to Omeed Malik's involvement as CEO of Colombier Acquisition and a member of PublicSq.'s board. He's also a major investor in Tucker Carlson's new media venture through his firm, 1789 Capital, indicating changes in media and economics.
