The anti-Israel, pro-Iran faction on the right lost Trump. Whether or not America takes part in the fighting, the administration is complicit in the battle against a rogue, terrorist state. And the isolationist “woke right” is furious about that.
Jonathan S. Tobin. (June 16, 2025 / JNS).
Who is losing the most in the successful strikes on Iran by the Israeli Defense Forces? At the top of the list is, obviously, the Islamist regime itself. It has had its terrorist infrastructure in the form of the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as what is left of its military. And, of course, it has suffered significant damage to its nuclear facilities, in addition to its oil and gas industry, which is the foundation of the despotic government’s already-shaky economy.
We don’t know yet what this will mean for the future of the theocratic regime that has maintained power since it took over the country in 1979. And it’s still far from clear whether the credibility lost by the way that the Israeli Air Force has been able to operate with impunity, destroying the government’s assets and leaders, will be enough to shake off their tyrannical grip on a nation that desperately needs to replace them.
The other big loser in this struggle is a “woke right” faction of the conservative movement in the United States that opposes Israel and has been fervently opposed to any action to stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. More to the point, this rag-tag group of talk-show hosts, right-wing influencers and social-media gurus who can’t seem to mention Israel without betraying their antisemitic tendencies has lost President Donald Trump.
Or to be more precise, they never really had him. The Tucker Carlson factor..
“The USA isn’t fighting in either the iran Israel conflict nor against the Russian federation invasion of Ukraine.”
Agreed. I think we should continue to support Israel.
Supporting Zelensky and the Ukraine merely prolongs the killing. Z man has totally lost my support.
Tucker is Tucker. He’s conservative (on the right) but I don’t expect to agree with him on every issue.
He has done many interviews of interesting people. That’s his job. He does not antagonize his guests. That’s part of having guests and a watchable show.
Sometimes, he appears a little naive to me for not challenging his guests at one point or another. However, it’s not reasonable to expect him to know everything about everything. He should interview Netanyahu or at least ask to do so.
Exactly.
I like how in Pro-Russkie world, they insist that alliances and international anti-american blocs just don’t exist, and everything happens in a vacuum.
How convenient.
Tobin is absolutely right. When this is over Tucker and Bannon are going to look like fools. There’s a reason why neither one of them is President.
But, Charlie Kirk, MTG, Greg Kelly and others wary of us getting involved directly in this war are not.
Most of the base wants Israel to takeout Iran's nuclear capability without us going to war with Iran. And, for good reason.
Nothing has happened yet. Stop being a whining panickan.
rush was right to call him chatsworth osborne
Fine. I don’t think Trump wants to put boots on the ground. Lobbing a MOAB or two at the ground, well, that’s another thing entirely. And I’m perfectly okay with that.
Iran has had this coming for over 40 years, and you know it. Or you should.
Zionists, Islamists, brothers with the same problem, radical to the core. Like the Klingons and the Kardassians... live for blood and battle.
America first, means IS IT IN OUR CITIZENS BEST INTERESTS. We live on an island far from the Middle East. Let them kill each other. It is none of our business.

The only way to win against the Jews and the Islamists, is give them free reign and pray they come to Jesus. NOT OUR FIGHT. It is Gods, he pitted them against each other when they both abandoned the Torah. Yes, they are brothers, born of the same blood.
I miss Rush
No they are not brothers. Persians are not born of Abraham. Where did you get such a notion? Opus?
The Islamists think it’s our fight. You think we can avoid that forever?
Remember Washington’s words, from his Fifth Annual Address to Congress. We have not avoided the insult from the Mullahs, and we have not acted to repel it.
How many live within our borders? Will they do nothing as we kill their fellow worshippers? This is a clash between religions, and we bring the problem home to our country, and fight them over there, while they build an army within our land.
How do you know Persians are not the same people as the Jews of Israel? Did they all take a DNA test? Is this important? They look identical to me. Humans, same skin tone, hair color, same attitude of superiority.
They worship a different deity. Actually, the Muslims are very observant, and the Jews are not majority observant.
so do I.. talk radio will never be the same.
I am sure he is watching all this from Heaven, saying yep i told you so..
Amen...and Bob Grand too...
JFTR, they are not rightists.
I agree with you, but I used the term since so many of our former “conservatives” have converted to this stance.
