Publisher's Summary

The host of Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson Tonight offers a blistering critique of the new American ruling class, the elites of both parties, who have taken over the ship of state, leaving the rest of us, the citizen-passengers, to wonder: How do we put the country back on course?

Happily surprised, Tucker is much more nuanced than you’d expect, trust me

My only knowledge of Tucker Carlson was limited and superficial before reading this book. Like most people my age (mid-twenties), I had seen videos of his Fox show on Youtube. I had a neutral opinion of him, found him sometimes right, sometimes wrong, sometimes open-minded, sometimes stubborn, etc. This audiobook is a deep dive into Carlson’s opinion on different topics (most of them politically charged), and it is not what you’d expect. This format allows him to throughly develop his positions and opinions in a way he simply could not do on his show. I devoured the book within a few days. Once you’re done listening to the book, I recommend you go watch his interview with Ben Shapiro during one his recent “Sunday Special”. It’s on Youtube and it’s a great one. Enjoy!

Excellent listen for new conservatives

Tucker Carlson is one of the important conservative voices in the 21st century. In this book he clearly describes how American elites are undoing the fabric on what made America one of the greatest countries in the world, while pointing fingers of both sides of the isle. Rare and refreshing.

Tucker is always entertaining you can't go wrong there. Only complaint is that its too short without enough depth.

A must read for the 21st century intellectual

Tucker Carlos demonstrates without a shadow of the doubt that he’s one of today’s most advanced thinkers.

The writing as well as narration are very factual and straight forward.

If you even mildly consider yourself as a modern thinker or intellectual- this book is a must read.

If you like Tucker, you'll love this book

I finished this book in one straight shot and found myself annoyed by anyone calling me or messaging me, subsequently interrupting, no matter how urgent the message. Tucker's wit and comedic timing shine through and make this an absolute pleasure to listen to and I was glad he narrated it himself. I didn't agree with everything in it, but honestly would have been disappointed if I had, knowing it would mean I've fallen prey to ideology rather than empiricism. That being said, even the points of disagreement I found interesting and thought provoking. He easily and quickly expounds the way our world seems to be loosing its grip on reality. Also nice to hear was his bipartisan stance, he calls our Republicans when it is diligent to do so. Definitely a great books, and I won't be surprised if I find myself listening to it a second or even third time!

Excellent analysis of our governance

The west were once healthy prosperous nations. The aptly described fools have turned our nations into sick hopelessly indebted basket cases. America can drain the swamp before it becomes inhospitable.

Tucker at his best

Like a 6 hour opening monologue from TCT. Great read if you want an honest analysis of how we got to this point. Tucker calls out Republicans and Democrats where need be and is both fair and poignant.
