Arnold, CA…We like many of you watched at least some of the debate last night where Vivek Ramaswamy seemed to have a bit of a coming out party on the national stage. Not only was he the target of pushback by most of the other candidates he inflicted a few blows himself. On most polls we have seen he was deemed the winner. The biggest loser of the night though may have been linear TV programming itself. As we write this Tucker Carlson’s interview with Former President Donald Trump is at 224 million views. This is probably at least 4 times the Fox News audience last night.
