Publisher Description

The #1 New York Times bestseller from FOX News star of Tucker Carlson Tonight offers “a targeted snipe at the Democrats and Republicans and their elite enablers” (New York Journal of Books) in a funny political commentary on how America’s ruling class has failed everyday Americans.

“Informal and often humorous…an entertainingly told narrative of elite malfeasance” (Publishers Weekly), Tucker Carlson’s Ship of Fools 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 Ship of Fools, Tucker Carlson offers a blistering critique of our new overlords and answers the all-important question: How do we put the country back on course? 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 The patchouli-scented hand-wringers who worried about whales and defended free speech have been replaced by globalists who hide their hard-edged economic agenda behind the smokescreen of identity politics.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 Tucker Carlson Tonight enjoy so much, Ship of Fools is “bulging with big and interesting ideas, presented succinctly with wit and precision, each chapter a potential book in itself” (The Washington Times).

Tucker has a gift.

This book is spot on. I would recommend every American read this book. It shows how a small group of fool are ruining this great country.

Brilliant

I absolutely love the fact that this audiobook was read by Tucker Carlson himself! A bunch of great information, and here I thought I knew everything =)

Bob the disaffected liberal ,

A must read for anyone who more deeply understand the political upheavals of the 2010s!

This is a must read for anyone who wants “what the heck happened to the liberals I grew up with?” and “why Trump really got elected.”

I consider myself a old school liberal, who looks at the era from the mid-60s to the mid-90s as a golden era, an anchor and ground zero in which to which to measure and assess our culture and politics today.

I was a regular liberal guy up until 2015 or so, when identity politics overtook classic liberal concerns and have spent the last five years trying to understand what went wrong.

As a disaffected liberal I’ve really learned to like and respect Tucker Carlson. Though I still have my disagreements with him on immigration and climate change, I nonetheless realize he’s closer to a 1970s liberal than most ideologues on the left today, and is a very smart guy, with a great sarcastic sense of humor.

Covering issues of illegal immigration, war and foreign policy, identity politics, and the environment, you gain wisdom in understanding the slow moving train wreck over the last couple decades that led to the election of Trump. Unfortunately the people who most need to read or listen it will mostly refuse to, but if it at least reaches a few open minds then that’s a good thing.
