Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink Revolution

“Informal and often humorous...an entertainingly told narrative of elite malfeasance” ( ), Tucker Carlson’s tells the truth about the new American elites, a group whose power and wealth has grown beyond imagination even as the rest of the country has withered. The people who run America now barely interact with it. They fly on their own planes, ski on their own mountains, watch sporting events far from the stands in sky boxes. They have total contempt for you. In Tucker Carlson offers a blistering critique of our new overlords and answers the all-important question: Traditional liberals are gone, he writes. The patchouli-scented hand-wringers who worried about whales and defended free speech have been replaced by globalists who hide their hard-edged economic agenda behind the smokescreen of identity politics. They’ll outsource your job while lecturing you about transgender bathrooms. Left and right, Carlson says, are no longer meaningful categories in America. “The rift is between those who benefit from the status quo, and those who don’t.” Our leaders are fools, Carlson concludes, “unaware that they are captains of a sinking ship.” But in the signature and witty style that viewers of enjoy so much, is “bulging with big and interesting ideas, presented succinctly with wit and precision, each chapter a potential book in itself” ( ).
