The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro ruthlessly mocked Tucker Carlson on Tuesday over his professed concern that a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities could lead to World War III.
“President [Donald] Trump was never, ever going to get us into a nation-building project in Iran. That was never-, have you met President Trump? Have you watched him for the last 10 years?” asked Shapiro rhetorically to kick off his rant. “What unbelievable lack of faith it shows in President Trump for people to suggest that Trump, of all people, was going to get us in to World War III on a nation-building exercise in the Middle East. Are you out of your damned mind?”
Shapiro then went on to play a series of clips of Carlson and his guests issuing warnings about the dire consequences of ordering a strike on Iran, which Trump eventually did over the weekend.
“These are the people who kept telling you it was going to be World War III. And there are lots of them. Lots and lots of people who are telling you it was gonna be World War III. Now, I just want you to note the complete and utter disconnect from reality,” he continued before making fun of Carlson’s reaction to the pre-coordinated Iranian retaliation on a U.S. base in Qatar earlier this week. “Notice the hand-wringing. Notice the sack cloth and ashes. Notice the hand to the heart here. Notice the deep and abiding pain he feels, apparently at missiles that didn’t hit Qatar.” Shapiro also read aloud a number of Carlson’s doomsaying tweets,

He’s annoying, I agree.
But what is your specific complaint that causes you to want Shapiro “strung up by his yarmulke”?
Nei- Cons and Jeffersonian Neo- Isolationists are equally dumb. Jacksonian foriegn policy is tje Away!
And Ben has publicly admitted he was wrong about Trump in 2016.
Has Carlson publicly admitted he was wrong and apologized to Trump?
Up to then, he was good to listen to, but right around the time he started talking about UFOs, he began overheating. It wouldn't surprise me if he were to announce he is channeling an archangel, at this point.
What causes this off-roading of the mind? Extreme popularity? Glenn Beck was a similar case. Suddenly they are talking about what they don't know, as if they alone know.
Tucker is not as smart as he thinks he is. Same for Bannon.
Where’s all the ribbon wearing “concerned” crowd?
The U.S. strikes against Iran nuclear sites were less about stopping Iran, and more about taking Israel’s “Iran has nukes!” card off the table.
It was a liberty operation to free the USA from the manipulation of Israel. This is why POTUS emphasizes the success of the strikes.
President Trump called Tucker “kooky”. Too funny!
The basic problem with predicting WW-III is that there is no good outcome, either you’re in World War Three, or you look like an idiot.
Well deserved. Tucker was doing baseless, over-the-top fearmongering to a level that would make many woke leftists blush—and he was hurting Trump with his fantasyland nonsense disconnected from anything actually on the table.
Because I know what he did in support of Michelle Fields and in opposition to Cory Lewandowski. Look it up.
No, I haven’t forgotten.
“Buns” Shapiro don’t know nuttin’.
What Belgorod doink?
I ruthlessly mocked him on his Facebook page. 😉
Tucker, Tucker bo bucker
Fee Fi Fo…
I hate you.
I hate you more, and you're stupid.
Yeah? Well you're stupider!
Yeah? Well you don't know what you're talking about!
Oh, yeah? Well you don't know what I'm talking about either ... or somthing like that!
Yeah? Well your mother wears combat boots .......
.... and so the dialog goes ... for days and days and then more days ...
That being said, you have to wonder if the Western powers, mainly the U.S., and Israel will pursue a 2025 version of a color revolution to overthrow the mullahs and possibly break up Iran, splitting off the minority areas into separate states as was done with Yugoslavia. This could be a dangerous game as you don't know who will come on top in a civil war. You may be replacing Chiang Kai-shek, an authoritarian dictator, with Mao Tse-tung, a genocidal Communist maniac. As bad as Putin and Xi may be, both men are in their 70s, and neither country has a reputation for smooth succession of power.
The Tuckers speaking up may have reinforced Trump taking the quick route (after flirting with regime change).
And Ben’s a terminally annoying little twerp.
Tucker will need to find a new sugar daddy to replace Qatar.
Qatar’s CIA.
