The weekend before his livestream, Carlson hosted some of the most prominent MAGA defectors at his home in Maine. Among his guests were former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Representative Thomas Massie, and former National Counterterrorism Center chief Joe Kent. All three have publicly condemned the war with Iran, with Greene and Massie also breaking with Trump over what they described as his efforts to conceal documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Conservative journalist Tucker Carlson has unveiled his 10-point vision for a post-Trump MAGA movement, amid growing speculation that he plans to help launch a third party to take on the US Democrat-Republican duopoly.

In a 90-minute livestream on Wednesday, Carlson declared the American political system “totally incapable of responding to reality” and unable to deal with the dual threats of AI and nuclear war – referring to the “merging” of the Ukraine and Iran conflicts into a “world war.”

“It’s worth thinking about what comes next,” Carlson said. “Something will replace this system…and it will probably be a third party or multiple parties.”

Describing the Democratic and Republican platforms as “identical,” Carlson suggested that any third party should embrace the following “ten things that America should be”:

• Fair – American politicians and elites should be held to the same objective standards as ordinary citizens, while members of the “Epstein class” should no longer “get a pass,” and DEI programs should be eliminated.

• Sovereign – The US should no longer be beholden to the lobby groups of foreign nations, particularly Israel, which Carlson said forced the US into war with Iran through “bribery or threat or both.”

• Productive – The US economy should not be built on finance and debt. America “needs to make things” and reinvest in agriculture and heavy industry.

• Beautiful – The US “is, always has, and should continue to be beautiful.” Concrete Brutalist architecture should be rejected, as should the “uglification” of cities through graffiti, open drug use, and littering.

• Healthy – Physical and spiritual health should be prioritized, and “there shouldn’t be any poison” in food. Cannabis, alcohol, and pharmaceutical drugs like Adderall and SSRIs make the US a “less human country” and should be discouraged.

• Honest – “If it’s a crime to lie to the government…then it has to be a crime for the federal government to lie to you.” Officials should face punishment for lying to citizens, and classified documents on 9/11 and the JFK assassination should be released.

• Optimistic – American elites should strive to hand a better future to their children, and having children should be encouraged. A society that places value on children discourages short-term gain and speculation and encourages sensible policy.

• Wise – Education should not be a “credentialing system” and should teach children “how things work.” Schools should emphasize “the things that don’t change, like human nature,” including innate gender and genetic differences between people.

• Decent – The US needs to move away from a system that allows Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to “jump around like a bloodthirsty monkey.” Funding for allies who commit “genocide” should be withdrawn. Restitution should be paid to Iran for the killing of civilians.

• United – “No country can continue without a sense of itself as a nation.” Mass immigration should be paused while a national identity is consolidated, benefits for immigrants should be cut, and English should be the sole federal language.
