Comment: Notability shouldn't be inherited. Almost, of not all the sources are unreliable. Familiarize yourself with the guide to finding reliable sources. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 22:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: YouTube and random blogs are not reliable sources. Please also convert your citations from bare URLs to full citations. Thanks. C F A 💬 04:18, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: It would appear that Tucker Carlson has been a guest on the show [1] so it might be a good idea to wait a month or so to review this given the two week delay in airing. SmolBrane (talk) 18:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
