In this double-feature episode of the podcast, veteran journalist Jason Zengerle joins to unpack his new book 'Hated by All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind.'

We dive deep into Tucker's early days as a sharp, contrarian writer at The Weekly Standard, his pivot at the Daily Caller for traffic over facts, the lessons from Breitbart, his rise at Fox News, and how he mastered anti-liberal outrage to influence policy and the right's direction.

Then, author Daniel Flynn discusses 'The Man Who Invented Conservatism: The Unlikely Life of Frank S. Meyer' – the former Communist turned fusionism pioneer whose ideas united traditionalists and libertarians, powering Goldwater, Reagan, and the post-war right.

From MI5 files to living next to Bob Dylan, Meyer's wild life shaped conservatism in ways few remember.
