This week on Banter, we sit down with Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson. Tucker talks to us about working in D.C., the media landscape, and some current event issues. He also gives us his take on the “fiscal cliff” (two words: Swan Dive) and we finish up discussing the worst job he’s ever had.

Andrew and I also spend a little time discussing a blog post by Friend-of-the-Show Andrew Biggs about raising the retirement age. Hope you enjoy!
