Summary
Tucker Carlson is very good at what he does, which is engage guests and topics on his prime time-slotted Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight. With aplomb and wit—which is hard when your guest is an angry eedjit,as the Irish say—he gets down to brass tacks on whatever the topic is.
His brand new book is titled Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution. And he means it. His thesis: you can have egalitarianism AND oligarchy. One of the has got to go. Yet the book, like its creator, is often hilarious in its own way.
In this episode you will learn:
- Who the major players are—the “fools” of the title—and why they’re included
- Why elites and oligarchs come in all religions, or none, and all skin colors
- A brief history of how American culture shifted toward Krazy in the last few years
- How the 2016 election of Donald Trump was a sign of electoral unhappiness that got worse over decades
- How liberals sell fake science, climate change (denying contrary evidence) and why abortion is the untouchable sacrament of the Left
- Some reasons to keep a sense of humor!
