Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson responded to a question on whether he will run for president in 2024 in a Thursday interview.

Semafor co-founder and editor-in-chief Ben Smith questioned Carlson on his ambitions to launch a presidential run during an interview hosted by the Knight Foundation and Semafor News.

Im curious about your ambitions, Smith said. There are friends of yours, to the extent youve still got them in Washington, who are talking about your running for president in 2024 and Im curious what your thought process is around that.

I have zero ambition, not just politically, but in life, Carlson said. My ambition is to write my script by 8 p.m. And Im not just saying that, as anyone who works with me or knows me, I dont think that way. I dont want power. Ive never wanted power. Im annoyed by things, I want them to change, but Ive never been motivated by the desire to control people.

Carlson described his instincts as libertarian, though he does not associate himself with the Libertarian Party.

So, thats a youre not running?' Smith pressed.

Im not running, I mean come on, Carlson replied. Im a talk show host, and I enjoy my job, by the way. And what a blessing it is to say what you really think like, only women can get pregnant. I dare you to say that. Can you say that? No, you cant say that. I can. (RELATED: Tucker 2024? Heres Where Carlson Stacks Up Against The Competition)

Smith asked Carlson about his concerns with the political civil conflict arising throughout the country and whether he has the ability to faith in institutions. The host said he can by telling the truth, correcting his mistakes and urged the country needs to de-racialize the nation.

Yes, Im trying my very hardest to tell the truth, and when I screw it up, I correct it immediately if its a factual error. When my views on things change, I say so, I dont pretend I didnt used to think that, he said. I admit it.

The scariest thing that could happen to America is to wind up in a country that cleaves along racial lines, he continued later. Identity politics is the route there so the most important thing we can do and we should do people who have an audience is to de-racialize the conversation. The Democratic Party is like, Its white people, white men versus everybody else. I hate that. Thats not true.

Smith claimed Carlsons audience enjoys when he pours gasoline on those fires, asking if ratings had any involvement in his reaction to these issues. The Daily Caller co-founder said he does not read ratings charts and doesnt know what his shows ratings are.
