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 knows he can’t win. He just wants to punish MAGA. He wants to see the Republican Party lose and it would happen if he run third party.
“”””Tucker Carlson is a wealthy man from a wealthy family.
The notion that he can be “bought off” by anybody’s money is risible.”””””
That is one of the most ridiculous thoughts ever, you see more greed and obsession with money among the rich than anywhere else, it sort of goes hand in hand with seeking and accumulating wealth, indifferent people want a new car or a new freezer, the rich want to build more wealth, vastly more, as much as they can, and by the millions and then billions if they can.
As the spotlights fade.......
I disagree, they are both two peas in the same infected pod.
Tucker IS Deep State/ He and his cabal are a comfort to our enemies. He hates ‘foreign wars’, except he loves the Ukrainian War.
So is he, except he seems to be on the Qatar payroll (an maybe other foreign governments).
Why would he? Birds of a feather flock together...
Well, I found one that I agree with, mostly anyway.
“9. Carlson called for halting immigration until the effects of AI become clearer, ending benefits for undocumented immigrants and making English the sole language of federal documents and ballots.”
I don’t know what AI is supposed to have to do with it, but we need to limit immigration almost entirely for a while. People already in the system legally can proceed.
And I would change the wording from “undocumented immigrants” to “illegal aliens”.
I agree with you.
If you think it’s easy to climb the ladder when shopping for cars or home entertainment electronics, you haven’t seen the Yacht market. Places like Sotheby’s auction house exist to cater to people who can’t seem to figure out how to spend all their money fast enough.
Yes, most of us plebs might want to ‘keep up with the johnsons/joneses’, but for the most part, low-middle class mentality is to be happy to make ends meet. We are completely oblivious how many teirs of wealth there are above us. Once you’ve risen above several of them, you realize there are many others that make you feel like you’re grilling with the small frankfurters.
So back on topic. I skimmed the thread and couldn’t find where anyone actually listed these 10 points. So rather than give axios a click, I decided to do a internet search. ...and low, none of the first three sites I went to wanted to list them either (at least not without a lot of scrolling or expanding the page).
So I guess it’s not really that important to Tucker Carlson that people actually know what his proposed platform is.
“”””He inherited the Ukraine war””””
Trump was preparing Ukraine for Putin’s invasion during his first term, the question was when was it going to happen, not that it would never happen.
That’s the plan.
Trump does a pretty damn good job keeping his word. Unfortunately he cannot unilaterally do everything he pleases. Things that he promised, sometimes have to recalibrated. Im sure he expected some support from his own party- that seems like a dream most of the time. Blame the system not the man. Lets not forget the endless stream of activist judges who disregard the law and the constitution to stop him.
He cut taxes
He cut spending
He is boosting America manufacturing
Tariffs were working, until he was cucked
He has secured the border
And June was the biggest month in ICEs history for getting rid of undesirables
SAVE act for election integrity is his initiative but his own party hamstrings him
So what are we talking about? A few months of bombing Iran? A country that clearly is an issue. This is not a war. Sorry. Its mainly target practice. And I get the complications it causes but seriously- there will be no ground invasion and Iran is helpless to stop the pummeling it is receiving.
What other issues do you feel he let you down?
It’s MAGA plus a lot of flowery language plus the MAGA things that Trump found it impossible to do or couldn’t bring himself to do.
It will only split the vote and help the Democrats.
This guy wants to be relevant more than anything. Money cannot always buy you that though.
His third party would guarantee Rats victories at all levels.
Ross Perot 2.0.
Best to do what Reagan suggested, have enough influence to control the established party, the way DSA is taking over the other side.
This third party will be forgotten soon enough
~~~
Third parties never last. 90+% of them fail to even make ripples.
Those that get real grass-roots followings get infiltrated and influenced (bought out?) and either co-opted or destroyed from within.
I believe that is what happened to the “tea party”. Once they started to move the needle on the political richter scale, there were a lot of celebrity figures and rich people who moved into to “support” (cough cough) the movement.
I am a supporter of Massie but this isn’t going anywhere. 3rd parties don’t work in America.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course they work, but not in directly achieving power. They drain votes from one party to benefit the other one and that’s the goal here. In this case Tucker and a couple others that were dissed get revenge and their nafarious sponsors get power. Tucker and his Animal Farm crew will siphon votes from the Republicans to the Dhimmicrats glee.
I am sure he is making great strides in being the number one salesman for ALP.
Commies, koranimals, trannies and psycho killers (but I repeat myself) float manifestos.
He’s not a ‘rent a mob’ democrat.
