Jeremy Boreing, founder and former CEO of the Daily Wire, sharply criticized Tucker Carlson's 90-minute manifesto, calling Carlson "a socialist" for fusing left-wing economic populism with right-wing social populism. Boreing warned that Carlson's approach could split the American right—particularly alienating evangelicals—and risk "national collapse" rather than renewal. He urged a return to constitutional principles, civic virtue, and grassroots action as the path to restoring American institutions.

Jeremy Boreing, founder and former CEO of the Daily Wire, issued a blistering critique this week of Tucker Carlson's newly published 90-minute manifesto, arguing that Carlson's political project risks fracturing the American right and could lead to catastrophic consequences for the country.
Boreing's Reaction
Boreing, now the host of his own podcast, previewed a livestream reaction by sharing a supercut of his recent takes on Carlson. He said Carlson is attempting to forge a new political majority by combining left-wing economic populism with right-wing social populism.
"Tucker Carlson is part of a small cohort of people trying to create a new American majority premised on left-wing economic populism and right-wing social populism... Tucker's a socialist," Boreing declared in the montage.
Boreing warned that such a coalition would likely alienate social conservatives—particularly evangelicals—by pushing the American right toward positions (including skepticism toward Israel) that diverge from traditional conservative alignments. "If you're going to build a coalition that is right-wing social populism and left-wing economic populism, you have to separate off evangelicals from the American right," he said.
Call For Renewal, Not Revolution
Addressing Carlson's 10-point manifesto directly, Boreing rejected the idea of a new political movement led by a media personality. Instead, he urged a return to the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and called for renewed civic virtue and local, citizen-led action to rebuild institutions weakened in recent years.
"We don't need a new America movement... We need the ideals of the Declaration as ensconced in the systems of the Constitution," Boreing said. He warned that following Carlson's path could lead to "national divorce, national ruin, national collapse, national violence."
Context: Carlson's Post-Fox Trajectory
Carlson's 90-minute monologue and other public statements have fueled speculation that he might pursue an independent presidential bid in 2028. Since leaving Fox News, Carlson has publicly discussed starting a third party, broken with former President Donald Trump on issues such as Iran policy, and made several controversial claims, including promoting 9/11 conspiracy theories, suggesting government involvement in January 6, and recounting an unusual claim that he was physically attacked by a demon.
This exchange highlights a growing debate on the right over whether a new populist coalition could reshape American politics or instead deepen divisions and erode longstanding conservative institutions.
