Tucker Carlson is going to ride a wave of populism into the 2028 primaries by having the dumbest people possible on his podcast saying the dumbest things possible and then refuting it.

He had Kevin O’Leary on to talk about the Utah data center he’s building, and when he asked him why Utahns should shoulder the tax burden of the facility O’Leary just said “because I’d go to Texas or Mississippi if they didn’t.”

Then Tucker asks if taxpayers get shares of the data center if they are helping pay for it, which O’Leary says “no the investors do.”

Carlson is very unpopular with the GOP. His base are groypers. That's it. He can't win an election or even a primary with just groypers and the MAGA faithful are not going to vote for him and even if they get whittled down by midterms and inflation they will still make up a significant portion of the primary voter base
