Trump swipes at Tucker Carlson over Israel-Iran criticism

The Hill ^ | 6/16/2025 | BRETT SAMUELS

President Trump on Monday took a swipe at former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has in recent days been critical of Trump’s handling of the burgeoning conflict between Israel and Iran.

“I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen,” Trump told reporters when asked about Carlson’s comments during a meeting with the British prime minister at the Group of Seven summit.

Carlson might as well get on TikTok.

Good!

BRETT SAMUELS and the Hellish Hill are part of the problem. They don’t care about America, only that the “other side” is skirmishing.

Nevertheless, Iran has declared war on the U.S. and Israel and is our declared enemy. Iran is the incubator and sponsor of worldwide bloody Jihad terrorism around the world.

Israel is doing the U.S. and the world a great favor by taking out the threat of Iran’s initial weaponized strike capability.

I think Carlson is again one off.

[marcusmaximus]

Tucker needs to stop pimping for Iran and Qatar.

Tucker bad mouthing levin and Bibi

What a shmuck.

He's okay with Alex Jones shrieking but not levin&rs ?quo;s ?

2 faced ahole today.

Wut Eva preterist, welcome to my middle finger

Spit

And no, I don't think we should be in another mid east war, but today was unnecessary. But bad mouthing Israel like the Dems ?

[SecondAmendment]

Trump sure seems to end up getting angry with all of his high profile supporters at some point.

I am not saying he is wrong in this particular case, but I really don't understand why he doesn't seem to be philosophically aligned with these people.

I admit in this case I am surprised by Carlson's position, but Trump shouldn't have know about this.

[marcusmaximus]

Tucker should have put his trust in President Trump over the past 4 days instead of lecturing him like an arrogant scold.

[cuz1961]

And for the record, I like Alex Jones, always have, even if his voice has grated on my nerves from forever.

[Sirius Lee]

I am not saying he is wrong in this particular case, but I really don't understand why he doesn't seem to be philosophically aligned with these people.

I don't think Trump is even aligned with his base anymore. With the "read my lips" style debacle going on with deportation and surrender to Chy-na, bloated budget, no arrests...

It's not looking good. The fire in 45's belly seems to have gone out in 47.

[tumblindice]

Ari Fliescher, Rahm Emmanuel, a lot of democrats: dual citizens.
Tucker: All American. Don’t get mad. Those are just the facts.
MAGA. Not the rest of the world. Have you seen Israel’s wall?

[odawg]

“...but I really don’t understand why he doesn’t seem to be philosophically aligned with these people.”

Shouldn’t these people be philosophically aligned with Trump?

[marcusmaximus]

Tucker pimping for Iran is not all American.

[escapefromboston]

Some times it’s better to just let things go. If Tucker is bad mouthing Trump just ignore it.

Have We Forgotten How The Senate Works? – Navigating the BBB

June 16, 2025 | Sundance 

I’m becoming increasingly convinced that people on the ConInc side of the conversation also need to pretend not to know things.

There is an increased sentiment of frustration toward President Donald Trump being espoused, and obviously that will be amplified by those who want to use a narrative of “increased sentiment of frustration toward President Trump.”

The part that surprises me is the part where people seem to have forgotten the purpose of the U.S. Senate.

CONTEXT – Currently there is a Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) in the senate, the culmination of years of work by President Trump and his team together with politicians in congress. There is no smaller BBB, there is no modified BBB, there is only one big comprehensive package of initiatives and priorities for President Trump’s agenda. One Big Beautiful Bill.

That’s it. Just this one legislative priority that has all the stuff Donald Trump promised in the 2024 election. It’s all in one bill; all of it. As a consequence, President Trump needs this bill to pass congress; there is no fallback position; there is no alternative; there is no safer option. The BBB is an all or nothing swing for the fences.

GAINING VOTES – This BBB is the legislative package approach that President Trump accepted. As a consequence whatever it takes to get that BBB legislation passed, is exactly what we should expect to see done. Remember, this is a legislative construct that only targets REPUBLICAN VOTES. Republicans control every element of this BBB discussion.

• People not happy about President Trump remarks about illegal-alien farm workers. Well, President Trump is buying gaining the votes of Big Ag state senators.

• People not happy about President Trump support for Israel. Well, President Trump is buying gaining the votes of Big War senators.

• People not happy about President Trump support for more Ukraine weapons against a peace initiative targeting Vladimir Putin. Again, President Trump is buying gaining the votes of the defense contractor senators.

These are just a few examples of stuff in the background.  The passage of the BBB is a priority for President Trump and every Republican senator knows this.  Every single republican senator is willing to blackmail President Trump to get support for their vote.

People not happy about (____fill in blank___) as a Trump compromise, need to understand there is no alternative to the BBB that contains all of the legislative priorities of Trump. If the bill fails, he fails. Whatever is needed for passage will be done.

If doing ‘whatever it takes‘ hurts our worldview, ideological preferences or even, wait for it, feelings, welcome to politics.

President Donald Trump –

“Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People. ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.”

“In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens.

These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women’s Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role. You don’t hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!”

“I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day. The American People want our Cities, Schools, and Communities to be SAFE and FREE from Illegal Alien Crime, Conflict, and Chaos. That’s why I have directed my entire Administration to put every resource possible behind this effort, and reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration that has turned once Idyllic Towns into scenes of Third World Dystopia. Our Federal Government will continue to be focused on the REMIGRATION of Aliens to the places from where they came, and preventing the admission of ANYONE who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States.

To ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, the Patriots at Pentagon and the State Department, you have my unwavering support. Now go, GET THE JOB DONE!” DJT

He’s very anti-sematic.

[Eli Kopter]

Iran declared war on the U.S. and Israel in 1979 and is our declared enemy. They have been killing Americans and Israelis, both Jews and non-Jews ever since then.

[cowboyusa]

That the US should not be involved is the right position. But Tucker obviously is blaming Israel.

[The Duke]

"And for the record, I like Alex Jones, always have, even if his voice has grated on my nerves from forever."

Same here. Even in his most controversial days he backed up his thoughts with credible news sources.

Carlson is a vile piece of crap. Worse than Candace.
