While addressing a packed house at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, Ind., Tucker Carlson described what he called the five pillars of MAGA to the audience.
Pillar #1: MAGA is America First
“Americans should put no country before America. American interests come first. That’s not a crazy idea,” Carlson said.
Pillar #2: No Pointless Wars
“And by pointless, I mean wars fought on behalf of an ideology or another nation are totally unacceptable. They weaken this country… It’s dramatically weakened this country, its social fabric, its treasury, it’s killed so many Americans,” Carlson said.
Pillar #3: Bring Back American Jobs
“The call centers have moved to south Asia. AI is crushing the lawyers. What do Americans do for a living?” Carlson asked, adding that the employment opportunities among recent college graduates remain dismal.
Pillar #4: Immigration
“You have to control who comes in and out of your country or else you’re not a country, and know that it’s considered highly controversial to say that the population of America is being replaced from people from other countries, but it’s not controversial, it’s a matter of fact… I’m against that. I’m against replacing the current population,” Carlson said.
Pillar #5: Free Speech
“It’s our birthright as Americans. So when we talk about cancel culture or “the woke,” what does that even mean? It means people who are attempting to abridge my ability to speak freely about what I actually believe… There’s all of a sudden this attempt to limit what people can say in public and it’s by people who claim to be MAGA. It’s like insane, and I’m shocked by it,” Carlson said.
To conclude this part of his speech, Carlson stated: “I didn’t make them up. Donald Trump articulated them consistantly for ten years, a full decade. He has dominated American politics for ten years on the basis of those five ideas.”

It is no wonder why neocons are so desperate to blacklist Tucker Carlson as he has his finger on the pulse of what it means to be America First like few commentators out there.
