A) Carlson isn't "far right." I like how simply being willing to talk about things others aren't pushes you to the farthest extreme according to these people.
When Tucker actually starts talking about how he sees the world, I wouldn't call it based at all. He's actually a kind of old-style Industrialist.
He has no problem with an aristocracy of productive people that genuinely care for the cultural maintenance of America. He's actually the kind of guy that would have been (and probably is IRL) a huge supporter of Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller, and JP Morgan. He's very Gilded Age. His problem with the elites, isn't that they exist, it's that they do a completely shit job of being American elites. They could be building opera houses, museums, and controlling the economy for America's benefit; but instead they are degenerating culture and selling the country out from under us because they are Socialists.
And since he's more of an Industrialist, Gilded Age, Republican; he's a bit reactionary on some places; but he's not a kind of total anti-establishment libertarian. He wants better elites to run the Cathedral, and he wants the Cathedral's objectives to change.
