Tucker Carlson went to a cabin in Montana and came back with a ten-point manifesto, and the Axios write-up of it landed this week alongside a photograph of him plotting a new third party with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, and Joe Kent. So Cliff and Joe Walsh poured a drink and read the whole thing out loud. What they found is a document that wants government officials punished for lying, wants all immigration halted until we understand what AI is going to do, wants urban planners held responsible for ugly cities, wants universal sobriety, and wants the JFK and 9/11 files opened. Joe, who spent years inside the party that produced this, walks through the three distinct versions of Tucker Carlson it took to get here: the bow-tied Weekly Standard libertarian, the Iraq War true believer, and the man who figured out that demagoguery pays better than either. Cliff puts the odds of an actual presidential run at 25 to 30 percent, Joe puts it lower, and the two of them argue about it.
