Synopsis
Carlson, who co-founded The Daily Caller,[1] (with Neil Patel), typically devotes his show to two or three current events, and brings on different speakers to debate different portions of the event. The show has more of a loose format with candidates from both sides of the political aisle to ask them probing questions, including monologues, commentary and political analysis.
The show's catchphrase/slogan is "the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink."[1]
