WASHINGTON — Tucker Carlson detailed a 10-point plan for the country this week in a nearly 100-minute livestream, the latest move in his sustained criticism of the two-party political system, which he says is failing American voters.
Carlson's agenda calls for rebuilding American farming, manufacturing and craftsmanship. He called for rejecting an economy built on finance, real estate speculation, surveillance systems and weapons.
He also advocated for policies to encourage Americans to have more children, an end to immigration and promotion of healthy foods.
Carlson first signaled interest in a third party during a July 1 interview with the Columbia Journalism Review, in which he described the United States as a "one-party state disguised as a democracy" and argued for systemic political change.
Speculation about a third-party movement has circulated in conservative circles, with reports of discussions involving Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky. The conversations reflect broader dissatisfaction with the existing political structure among some on the right.
Carlson's proposals contrast with economic and social policies associated with both major parties. His emphasis on production over finance represents a departure from mainstream platforms of both the Republican and Democratic parties.
Carlson left Fox News in 2023 and now runs an independent media operation. His public platform gives him direct access to a national audience outside traditional party structures, positioning him as a potential organizer for a faction of the right that has grown critical of President Trump.
