Fox News website:

https://video.foxnews.com/playlist/longform-tucker-carlson-tonight/

Or, if you can parse JSON, here is the backend feed for Tucker Carlson Tonight:

https://video.foxnews.com/v/feed/playlist/5528578293001.json?template=fox

And this specific episode's link

https://video.foxnews.com/v/6193312003001/?playlist_id=5528578293001

If you go there with your browser, you'll probably need to prove that you pay for a cable package that includes FoxNews channel. If you hit it with youtube-dl, you'll get a mkv, mp4 or webm file back.

It can take 8-12 hours for new episodes to show up there after it airs. The online playlist typically has either the last 5 days or the last 5 episodes. The backend feed links appear to work with youtube-dl even months later, assuming that you have some source for old video numbers

When I cut the cable, there were only a few shows that I missed. Tucker was one of them.. I was pretty happy to be able to write a script to automatically fetch the latest episodes of Tucker. As an added bonus, I was able to fetch the 2nd tier of shows too: Hannity, Gutfeld, Levin and Sunday Morning Futures.

I watched last night's episode through your link and it showed the George Soros segment uncensored. I didn't check the episode two nights ago.

I'm not sure what the original poster was talking about when he said that it was removed. Maybe he was referring to a short clip of just that one segment. Killing that short clip makes sharing the video of that particular segment more difficult, even if the segment is technically still online for anyone who wants to pull up the full episode and seek to it.

Fox News posts those short clips to their own site, and to youtube, but they don't allow full episodes on youtube. Random elbonians tend to post complete episodes on youtube, which are usually taken down when found. Those unauthorized videos are often corrupt and can be hard to watch. (The video will skip a few seconds at a time here and there, and the missing parts might show up at the end, or the end might repeat bits from earlier.)

The videos direct from the Fox News website tend to be pretty high quality. The dead periods during commercial breaks have been cut cleanly out. At most, they might miss a few seconds at the beginning or end. For example, Tucker always does a live hand-off to Hannity, but if you watch Tucker's episode and then Hannity's episode, that hand-off is usually broken on one side or the other.

I also haven't re-checked the September 21st full episode link. I'd have to re-download it, since I can't watch it in a browser. It was there when I downloaded the episode a few hours after it aired.
