I was invited to appear on the Tucker Carlson Show this past Friday night to discuss our sponsored bill, AB 1881 (Santiago) Dog & Cat Bill of Rights. Because Tucker Carlson is a divisive personality, I want to give some context for my appearance on the show.

I was grateful to be able to speak to such a large audience (estimates online say his show draws over 3 million viewers) for the animals. That’s why I accepted. I never turn down an offer to educate and speak on their behalf.

I sent the fact sheet and copy of the bill prior to my appearance. The representative of the show led me to believe I would talk about the bill and why it is important. So I was taken aback when Tucker opened the segment talking about Dr. Fauci. While surprised by the topic, I dealt with it accordingly as you all can see in the video discussing our work on our cosmetic animal testing bill and animal testing in general.

Whether you are a fan or not of Tucker Carlson, I hope you all appreciate the need to speak to all Americans about the need to protect animals, which is why I chose to accept the invitation. If people do not like Tucker they have every right to say so, just as some would if it was a liberal media outlet. I’m just glad we can all agree to stand up for the animals.
