BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): So you might say to yourself, well, Tucker, why don't you, I mean, you basically implied that you were going to launch a third party. Why don't you just do that, right? I mean, like you've said both parties are saying the same thing. Why don't you just launch a third party? His answer is because that's useless. You see everything is useless. You see, it's all rigged. It's all conspiratorial and rigged. Buy ALP.

SHAPIRO: And you see there are no solutions and — the black pilling. The only alternative is violence, but you also know there are no solutions. We don't want violence. We don't want violence. Violence would be terrible. There are no solutions other than violence. We want to launch a third — third parties aren't gonna do any good. Perhaps the only true thing that we can really say is what is government? What is life? What is nicotine?
And then, Tucker proceeded to spell out in another one of his endless monologues, his 10 goals for America, which he apparently cribbed from his 3rd grade paper on why he likes pie, and also the best kind of pie is peach, and also otters are awesome and cool. In other words, his 10 point program was a deliberately simplistic, unsophisticated, semantically overloaded bunch of bullshit. It turns out, wait for it, he wants America, you're not gonna believe this. He wants America to be more fairer and also more prettier and less fatter, but also more smarter and gooder, just generally, you know, gooder.
