Tucker Carlson warned Monday that U.S. involvement in the escalating Israel-Iran conflict could bring down President Donald Trump and mark the collapse of America’s global influence.
In an appearance on Steve Bannon’s WarRoom, Carlson argued a full-scale war in the Middle East could derail Trump’s second term and devastate the country’s standing globally.
“I actually really love Trump. I think he’s a deeply humane, kind person,” Carlson said. “But I’m really afraid that my country’s gonna be further weakened by this. I think we’re gonna see the end of the American empire.
He added, “But it’s also going to end, I believe, Trump’s presidency and effectively end it.”

Carlson’s interview on Tuesday with alleged historian Darryl Cooper — like his interview in April with Reverend Munther Isaac, referenced in today’s flashbacks — was so much worse than merely glib or incurious.
Carlson chose to interview Cooper, whom he endorsed as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States” to learn exactly how World War II didn’t happen. According to Cooper — and Carlson nodded along the entire time — Winston Churchill was perhaps “the chief villain of the Second World War” and “primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did.”
It’s true that Hitler did not want or expect Britain to fight. He wanted Britain to acquiesce to German dominance of Europe from the Urals to Gibraltar and subsume the UK to Nazi interests. This is all a matter of historical record. Britain could fight or submit — that was Hitler’s choice, not Churchill’s.
FLASHBACK: Carlson chose to interview Isaac to find out how the Jewish State of Israel treats Christians. Isaac is a priest who neither lives nor works in Israel and who uses the loaded phrase “Occupied Palestine” as his location on his Twitter/X profile. He is a Palestinian Christian from Palestinian-controlled Bethlehem, where Christian ministers serve at the mercy of the Palestinian Authority.
Trying to figure out how exactly Trump being tough on Iran and stating he would not allow them to have a weapon - this could either be done peacefully or not - but he would not allow it. How often has he said that? And for how long?
If someone “didn’t vote for this” they weren’t paying attention...a lot.
Those two fools need to STFU! Jonathon Tobin has dubbed them the woke right. Trump knows what he’s doing.
I stopped watching Fox News in 2008 after Obama got selected, so I never watched any of Carlson's shows, or his show after he was fired. I haven't watched any news programs on any platform since 2008. Stopped listening to talk radio too, not to long after I retired in 2003. I only listened to them while I was at work as I worked 3-11 p.m., so I had the time. Once I retired, I had too many other things I wanted to do...like spend my afternoons reading.
Donny is gonna have Pete drop a half dozen GBU57 MOABs from three B2 bombers on a nuke making plant, and call it a day.
Trump has never flipped. He has always said Iran must never get a nuke. And after the attacks on Israel by Iran , our ally, it is completely reasonable to absolutely destroy the Iranian regime. The current (t least until tonight) regime has been murdering US citizens and Israelis for decades as they build a nuclear weapon to bring back the mahdi.
I agree there are the swamp creatures in the state department but they have been the ones that thought their “superior” education at Harvard would bring peace through appeasement . Trump has ignored them. They have failed. A massive unrelenting attack for just a few days has completely destroyed the mullah’s regime .
A respectful disagreement.
Tucker is just the kind of uninspiring leader that no one “follows into hell”.
I never liked Tucker. This just reminds me why.
Tucker did say a Full Scale War.
but a couple of bombs isn’t a full scale war.
I support America and Trump.
>>Two self-important peacocks puffing their feathers for each other.
That describes them both, perfectly.
No intelligent person has ever called Tucker the top pundit. He is nothing but the court jester
Thanks, Wildcat.
There’s a place for somebody to revisit issues long-considered settled. But, Tucker apparently doesn’t know the rule: only break one rule at a time.
When you start questioning lots of things about which the mainstream agrees, you go from possibly being interesting and deserving of attention for the point you’re making, to being a quack.
It is unfortunate that, at this time, the elite is intolerant of diversity of opinion. As a result of their intolerance, anybody with an independent thought is viewed by the elite as a quack. So, to the elite, there is no difference between mainstream conservatives and libertarians and Tucker Carlson. Strangely, it’s the intolerance of the elite that gives Tucker his platform.
When Tucker was at Fox, he had a little army of assistants and a prime time slot every week night to make his case, and he was, in my opinion, very effective. But, since those days, he has been pulled out of orbit and is now like a comet. Sometimes, he’s flaming bright in the sky, but usually he is lost in deep space.
mbrfl, you remind of saying by Lou Carnesecca, the late, long-time basketball coach at St. John’s: One day a peacock. The next day a feather duster.

It’s not that counterinsurgency is difficult. Effective anti-rebel measures are simple, but morally- and legally-fraught to American leaders in ways they are not to Russians or Germans. When Czech rebels killed Reinhard Heydrich, Germany retaliated by killing 1,000 Czechs in response, leading to an almost complete cessation of Czech resistance activity. When fighting Ukrainian rebels after WW2, Russian counterinsurgency forces killed entire families, with 200K being the estimated final tab. It took 7 years, but by 1952, the rebellion was crushed. But the average American blanches at these bloodlettings, indoctrinated as he is with the myth that Germany and Japan were docile because of good government on the part of Allied occupiers rather than the reality that substantial chunks of their populations, 10% and 5% respectively, had been killed.
He ain’t an American, maybe first generational. It takes three generations to get the dirt of the homeland out from underneath the fingernails. But then again, he could be a homegrown graduate of bill Ayers / Barack Obama’s death to America College.
Cultural marxism has done a lot of damage, ask Karen Bass
[What about the 1953 CIA Coup in that country with British Petroleum]
Mossadegh did try to usurp the Shah’s authority. The left portrayed this as the Shah usurping his Grand Vizier’s throne. But the default left-wing narrative was always fiction, in much the same way Mao Tse-tung and Ho Chi-minh were never democratic social reformers but wannabe kings who latched onto a platform that got them 99% of the way there, albeit without kingly titles or hereditary succession.
What happened to Tucker?
“Try going back to the 50s when the CIA and UK toppled their elected leader.”

...who was a Communist...?
Not Rumsfeld.
It was a Dim holdover, George Tenet.
