Tucker Carlson unveils 10-point manifesto amid third-party speculation
axios ^ | Aug 6 | Zachary Basu

Posted on 08/06/2026 7:01:26 AM PDT by RandFan

Tucker Carlson used a highly promoted livestream Wednesday to unveil a 10-point vision for America — defining the worldview of a breakaway MAGA faction increasingly at odds with President Trump.

Why it matters: After vowing last month to "help build a third party," Carlson fueled further speculation this weekend by hosting MAGA dissidents at his home in Maine, where they urged him to run for president in 2028.

The former Fox News host stopped short of a formal launch, instead presenting the manifesto as the foundation for "whatever comes next" — a new political order he said could "find all kinds of expressions."

Zoom in: Carlson said any successor to America's faltering political system should begin with a shared understanding of what the country "should be," which he distilled into 10 points.

Tucker is not a politician he'll leave that to Massie and MTG in all likelihood. You may laugh but that looks a possibility in some form or other.

Pretty obvious he is getting paid to poison this country’s political process and shape the outcome for his puppeteers.

If Tucker is serious (hes not) he needs to drop MTG, she’s a scummy idiot.

Suggestion: don’t post articles about new movements before they get 1% in polls.

I disagree with 1 and 3 as they are expressed. I disagree with 2 and 9. The GOP would already have adopted the others if they gave a damn what their members care about.

Good point. I used to tell people that most Americans voted for someone other than Bill Clinton - twice.

It is bad etiquette to accuse people of “being paid” unless you can prove it.

Seriously.

It is poisoning the well—without evidence.

You would not like it if it was done to you.

A “Manifesto”?

When does Tucker go on a shooting rampage at a Christian school?

This is a very stupid idea.

I am a supporter of Massie but this isn’t going anywhere. 3rd parties don’t work in America. The only chance to fix the country is through the Republican party. They have the money, the institutional access, the name recognition, the think tanks, the donors, etc...

We must fix the Republican party and make it an America First party.

The white pill is that this change is inevitable. The young right wingers are all America First. The post-WW2 narrative brainwashing that we all received through movies, TV, mass media, etc... didn’t take on the youth.

One day soon we will be free of our globalist shackles and will never again be forced to fight wars and conduct global diplomacy for the benefit of other countries.

Should it be imperative that a POTUS victor get 51%? That would mean a runoff.

It might be within the GOP, we dont know what form this happens yet

Quote from MTG:

“We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all,” Greene wrote in the post. “The movement has begun.”

His manifesto??

What’s next? Will he declare himself to be a teenaged trannie and go shoot up a school?

Oh please. Carlson has long been known to receive payments from Islamic benefactors. No different than a politician’s books sales scam.

Asking me to ignore his actions, that portray someone with ulterior motives, is a liberal’s game I don’t play. I see what I see, pound sand I am not about to ignore reality as I discern it because of your weak shaming attempts.

Tucker Carlson is a wealthy man from a wealthy family.

The notion that he can be “bought off” by anybody’s money is risible.

(I disagree with him on many points—but the “bought” charge is absurd on its face.)

First greed often has no limit; second money is not the only kind of payment people seek. Third, wealthy people have expensive habits requiring more than the average person to sustain as a lifestyle.

I reject your simple view that because Carlon has significant amount of monetary wealth he can’t be bought off.

“We must fix the Republican party and make it an America First party.”

_______________________

Good luck with that. Looking back at all my votes over the years....all wasted. Republicans telling me what I wanted to hear and then doing what they wanted. All a disappointment..including the Bushes. Now Trump.

I trust NONE of them. Uniparty. Maybe if we all had enough money to lobby them they might keep their promises. /s
