Host and pundit Tucker Carlson has publicly criticized President Donald Trump and other conservatives for their support of Israel's recent military strikes on Iran.
In his newsletter titled "This Could Be the Final Newsletter Before All-Out War," Carlson accused Trump of being "complicit" in Israel's attack, arguing that U.S. funding and weapons supplied to Israel, which Trump has boasted about, place the U.S. at the center of the conflict.
He stated, "Washington knew these attacks would happen. They aided Israel in carrying them out," and suggested that direct U.S. involvement in a war with Iran would betray voters who supported Trump's "America First" platform.
Carlson also called for the U.S. to "drop Israel" and let it fight its own wars, emphasizing that such a conflict does not benefit the United States.
Additionally, Carlson targeted conservative media figures and donors, labeling them "warmongers" for advocating U.S. military involvement.
In a post on X, Carlson asked rhetorically, "Who are the warmongers?"

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also weighed in, saying Israel's security remains in America's national interest.
"Seven hundred thousand Americans live in Israel," Huckabee wrote to supporters. "That is a full Congressional district but Tucker doesn't care."
Huckabee continued, with sarcasm, "He knows more about the Middle East than anyone.
"I learned long ago that the most dangerous man in the room is the guy who doesn't know what he doesn't know. He will get you killed. That's Tucker."

I believe I know where Tucker hung out during the Grateful Dead concerts. At a San Francisco venue called Winterland, they practically sealed the place so that people without tickets could not enter using the side exits. On the floor of Winterland, there was plenty of air. One time, and one time only, I went up the stairs to the very top of the audience. The oxygen had been replaced with all of the smoke from all the the varied "substances" people were smoking. I immediately retreated to where there was air.
Being a long distance runner and biker, I never enjoy smoking anything. A Friday evening Grey Goose Martini is my cup of tea.

Us? Putin isn't going to help Israel. Do you mean "Israel can do whatever it think it needs to without any help from us you Americans directly in Iran.?
What does a Grateful Dead fan say when he runs out of drugs?
This music sucks!
Wonder if he converted to Islam?
He’s completely deranged.
They are more Israeli and American.
Funny that after doing several searches, I couldn’t find anything about Tucker attacking Lloyd Austin or Biden in April 2024, when they ordered our military in Iraq, and aircraft carriers in the region to shoot down Iran’s ballistic missiles and drones headed to Israel.
Israel now controls the airspace over Iran.
Does Tucker want Israel to give it back?
The Grateful Dead played every kind of music, except rap. The Blues Brothers opened for them. Etta James sang with them.
One of my favorites was the Tibetan Monks. They opened for the Dead, and it was amazing.
Below is a link to the Blues Brothers opening for the Dead on New Years Eve.

It’s the bow tie seems to be some connection between wearing one and being a phony loser.
Despite all the nonsense we heard about “American hostages” held by Hamas after the 10/7 attack on Israel the U.S. government doesn’t even consider it a top priority to act on behalf of U.S. citizens who take up permanent residence in foreign countries like so many of those 700,000 “Americans” living in Israel.
Tucker seems to be suggesting that Iran can dictate to the USA who we can relationships with. I don’t want to bomb Iran (unless they attack us) but we should still support our friends and allies.
I now agree with Fox News firing him.
He’s always been phoney. Bends his mind to whomever pays him. CNN, MSNBC, FOX.
Yes we do. England, Israel among them.
Agree. We don’t want war with Iran on behalf of anoher country.
Trump, Hannity and Levin are trembling because of mighty Tucker! How this clown survived his Putin love fest is one of the world greatest mysteries…..
What you are referring to may be an informal agreement to refrain from exercising sovereign prerogatives in particular circumstances.
Never codified into U.S. statutory law, and never the subject of a treaty formally constitutionally approved by the U.S. Senate.
he has jumped the shark.
Comes a time, AC, when the U.S. will act, and rightly so, on behalf of a lost (citizen) sheep, found to be far from the fold, trapped in the clutches of a ravenous (foreign) wolf.
I heard Huckabee say this on Fox, but I don't think it is accurate. Over that many visit Israel every year, but nowhere near that many actually live there at one time. However many, they are important.
And, just the same, Israel is our ally and Iran is our enemy.
