For the past several months it has become increasingly obvious that conservative America is witnessing a battle between two external elements, Qatar and Israel. MAGA has been stuck in the middle.
The battle has centered around political influence and seems most obvious in the framework of what are called “influencers” of public opinion. The tug-of-war has been happening for several months, and with Israel now targeting Iran militarily, the intentionally seeded dynamic has exploded around all platforms in the information space.
Friends, families and alliances are being fractured within the battle. In a very visible example, Tucker Carlson (team Qatar) uses his platform to target Ted Cruz (team Israel). WATCH:
.
According to Carlson, the full interview will be released later today.
MAGA has been stuck in the middle.
Everyone I know personally who voted for DJT is opposed to fighting wars for Israel.
Nobody I know personally is ‘stuck in the middle’.
Nobody with a semblance of common sense believes that WW3 will hasten the Second Coming – that’s crazy talk.
And finally…
Acceptance.
“My fellow Countrymen,
The Islamic Republic has reached it’s end and is in the process of collapsing…
What has begun is irreversible” –
Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, son of the exiled Shah of Iran…

all thats left is for Trump to mount the Nimitz and declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
USS
NimitzLiberty 2?USS United States!
Yet when Obama and Biden killed civilians with drones and did regime changes in color revolutions– it was all justfine with you?
what are you talking about?
Someone isn’t up on the term “targeted attacks.” OR “Pallywood” or taquiyyah.
You Are inventing things.
“when Obama and Biden killed civilians….”
It’s a valid point, but it is simplistic and ignores the very real threat to America of Iranian Mullahs having nukes … as opposed to just toppling a country for fun and profit.
“Stuck in the middle” sounds to me like absolutist BS to get in the way of real solutions.
Allowing Israel to defend itself and take out Iranian nukes with some support from us is EXACTLY the same as screaming for American boots on the ground in Iran.
Ya, no.
Saying we want to stop illegal immigration and remove those here illegally is EXACTLY the same as screaming for ICE to immediately fire up the cattle cars and send all dairy workers and dishwashers off to Mexico-Aushwitz RIGHT NOW!!
Ya, no. It’s not.
Gulf of Tonkin Incident comes to mind.
“was an international confrontation that led to the United States engaging more directly in the Vietnam War. It consisted of a confrontation on 2 August 1964”
I understand your point and I get the danger and the need to be wary of it.
So let’s talk about how we help Israel stop Iran from getting nukes without getting drawn into war….
As opposed to allowing Tucker and Ted to drum up division on two extreme scenarios which Trump has not put on the table.
Let’s help Trump by making clear we want no US boots on the ground and no endless weapon sales without getting trolled by extremes.
Nicely-done! Just as we, MAGA, know the difference between “Jews” and “bankers” or “banking class” (or even “Wall St), we also know the difference between an air strike, such as we did under PDT in Syria (last term) and boots on the ground, i.e. “endless wars.”
MAGA is too smart to let itself be dragged around like idiots according to whatever idea is trendy at the moment (and we all know that Jew-hating is the trend for the cool kids.)
are you going shout 2-3 yrs from now about threat from pesky..Russians ?????
Let’s hope Iran doesn’t hit the Nimitz with another hypersonic missile.
The loss of life would be huge by our standards.
It’s doubtful they just had a couple of those missiles.
The days of big aircraft carriers floating here, there, & everywhere are just about over.
Even a flurry of Iranian drones could cause major impact.
They’ve been building them for Russia for over 2 years.
One has to wonder if there was even deal secured about the hypersonic technology, to further the Ukraine War response.
Which we CAN’T PRODUCE YET.
It’s not crazy to imagine that Israel is trying to pull USA into world war.
alex jones just compared the nimitz to the lucetania. just sitting out there for someone to attack and get the american people worked into a frenzy for war.
That’s the thing I don’t understand about many on here. President Trump could have the best intentions and still get dragged into a physical war. So many opportunities for bad actors.
General MccGregor also said Israel and Bibi have more votes in the Senate than PDT
I am pretty sure it will take more than a single hypersonic missile to sink the Nimitz. Undoubtedly a direct hit would cause significant damage and lots of casualties, but the hull would still float.
A live-fire exercise (SinkEx) by the US Navy in 2005 was used to test the survivability of a carrier. They used the decommissioned USS America (CV-66), an old Kitty hawk-class carrier. It took a lot of abuse and in the end the Navy elected to scuttle it instead of continuing with the weeks-long bombardment.
Yes, it makes perfect sense that Israel not only is chomping at the bit for a “world war,” but that they want their closest ally taking hits, too….(/s needed?) Are we listening to ourselves? Does anyone else note that we’re starting to sound like refugees from one of the Ivies? Knock off the anti-Jewish, anti-Israel talk — they’re fighting the jihadis and a world caliphate– and taking the hits for it — for all of us.
Okay, freedom of speech is one thing, but to see MAGA start echoing uninformed college kids is a real disapointment. Sure, I still trust PDT and cabinet (most), but am disapointed in MAGA…what’s next, being against MAHA because it’s trendiery to eat at McDonald’s?
One doesn’t mount a warship.
One might mount an old haggard battleaxe, though.
If one is not too choosey.
Providing one’s eyesight has seriously deteriorated and it’s very late.
But… But… But… Reza Pahlavi would become King of Iran. The left’s big motto today is “no kings”. Maybe they prefer Ayatollahs.
While I do concur that the ‘process for collapsing the Islamic Republic has begun and it is irreversible’…
I do not know what that looks like in Iran…
Nor is it of my concern, it is for the Iranian People to decide…
We are witness to the exact same phenomena right here at home…
The Republic of California {Government} has reached it’s end and is in the process of collapsing…
What has begun is irreversible.

“Pulling down strongholds”
“Nor is it of my concern, it is for the Iranian People to decide…”
I agree, and pray for the latter.
the installation of the Shah is what lead to the US embassy mess and then to the current extremists running the place. Our meddling creates a mess wherever we go. We never learn. The Iranians wouldn’t be calling for Death to America if we minded our own business and took care of our people here. There’s no amount of messing with people so that they will eventually be grateful for it.
Carters removal of the shah led to embassy mess
not exactly. The British being greedy for all of Iranian oil led to them coup’ ing the western favorable leaders. Carter was just there to take the blame
That was over 20 years earlier
For almost fifteen hundred years Islamic jihad has been running over and butchering peoples throughout the world, but if only if the USA would stop meddling and take to minding our own business then we could have peace. What a crock!
so the solution is what? make that situation worse or seriously, is your plan to kill everyone of them or what? seems like that has to be the plan to stop 1500 years of continuous butchering.
The butchering is part of the conversion process. Conversion and the attendant violence is going to ramp up in Europe and the UK regardless of what happens in the ME. Israel is always the excuse.
What’s your plan, PDJT is interested in your plan.
They would – we are infidels until we convert.
Sorry, but quoting the son of one of the most reviled historic figures in modern Persian history is rich with cognitive dissonance.
Resurrecting Ahmed Chalabi , and fobbing him off as an Iranian princess will be an easier sell.
It feels like the goalposts have moved a little bit. It used to be “no forever wars” and “no troops on the ground.” Now, it’s “no fighting wars for Israel.” What happens when we want to do something for our own sake (America First) that happens to align with Israel’s priorities? Are those things off the table now? Iran has been a thorn in our side since Carter handed it over to the extremists back in the 70s. Taking advantage of circumstances to make things better for ourselves and concurrently the world (and, yes, Israel) hardly seems like a tragedy. Trump has long said that Iran will not be allowed to become a nuclear power; I’m not sure why that comes as a surprise now. At the end of the day, most people don’t care, and that includes MAGA. If Trump stays out of it, great. If Trump manages to end the reign of extremists in Iran without getting us into a 20 year long slog of a war with boots on the ground, great. If that means, it simultaneously helps Israel, oh well.
What happens is we don’t get to use Israel as a proxy for globalists to benefit from the destruction of other Middle East countries. You’re one of a dying few left that actually are ok with Israel and war. Ethically, Americans have woken up and we no longer what innocents dying in our name. We are over it. And we are over the whole “terrorist” ruse that they’ve used as an excuse for war. The only terrorists in this entire world are Israel and the Islamic groups that the US creates: And who is the latest terrorist group created by the us military? Why, it’s the us citizens.
“The only terrorists in this entire world are Israel and the Islamic groups that the US creates”
The real terrorists are the “left” and the Congress – not sure which is worse.
If you do not know who is your real enemy…….you never win war………
What a croc.
There is no moral ground that justifies terrorism.
And Americans aren’t terrorists.
You’re lost in the same rhetoric the Left employs.
They’ve been warring in that part of the world for 2000+ years – long before the CIA and capitalism ever existed.
You might want to look into operation gladio
Yea…the Cold War had its permutations.
So?
Been warring in Europe for centuries too. Long before Operation Gladio
Such a pretty dream from such a vacuous brain.
“If Trump stays out of it, great.” – Correct!
“If Trump manages to end the reign of extremists in Iran without getting us into a 20 year long slog of a war with boots on the ground, great.”- Also correct!
“If that means, it simultaneously helps Israel, oh well.” – Also correct!
But you left out:
“If things don’t go as planned, then we could end up with “boots on the ground” and get stuck in another middle east meat grinder for years and years, which could kill the MAGA movement and hand control back over to the deepstate that will continue to destroy the US from within.” – That’s what is on the line. And “spoiler alert”, the “experts” making the plans are usually wrong (and/or are already working for the deepstate), and the enemy always gets a vote (and/or controls the vote counting too!).
The safer option is to STAY OUT of FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS and take care of our domestic problems first. Have a strong defense, but stay out of other people’s business unless it is a real threat to our own.
IF (big IF), Iran is really a threat o the US, then have that debate out in the open and convince the American people of it. Then and only then, do something about it. If you can’t convince the people, then don’t get involved, and don’t even think about using a false flag event or something similar to manipulate the people either.
We have a bigger threat right here in our country – anybody been watching the daily riots in our cities?
Downfall of the ayatollahs? – American Thinker
These are the same Persians as today. Let them run!
“If” my rear quarter.
The Iranians have been killing American warfighters for decades.
Time for them to pay the piper.
Then attention can be turned to collecting past debts from Israel.
Define the national interest, understand how modern wars are fought, have a clue on the ever morphing threat structure…and act consonant with our interests, values and resources.
The notion of the equivalent of a coastline Maginot line is absurd. Layered defense starts overseas. The tools are diplomatic, economic, intelligence, military, etc. That’s the burden and the benefit of being a global superpower – so long as the world remains a dangerous place to cohabit.
Isolationism is a one way ticket to self-immolation.
Joel Pollack was on BB news radio this morning talking about all this and his opinion is that people have an issue with what is going on only because it is Israel. I agree.
That’s a motive – not a discussion of the equities, forces, outcomes in play.
I disagree. Everything is not about Israel. We don’t want to go to war elsewhere either.
Joel Pollack is a zionist who has never criticized a single thing Israel has ever done, not even one tiny bit.
Only the Iranian Mullahs beleive that. Is it sane NO. So maybe you could talk it out of it Or maybe we could see new political leadership and buy their enriched Urainium and shut down facillities.
This is not world war 3 this is more play in the sandbox. Trump wants to shut down the sand box. Remove the engine of conflict from the IC s tool box houthies about gone Gaza Gone Isis gone who are the CIA going to manipulate into war?
And the Mossad and the rest of the Israeli history that has ****ed with the US?
Israel’s existence is at stake. Understood and supported.
But the story doesn’t end there.
The poll, conducted by data analytics firm GrayHouse shortly after Israel launched its campaign, shows that 83 percent of Trump voters “strongly support” Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Eighty-five percent say Iran poses a threat to American national security, 74 percent say they’re very concerned about Iran’s nuclear program, and 86 percent say Trump should provide weapons “to help Israel protect itself from Iranian attacks.” Ninety-five percent of respondents, meanwhile, say they approve of Trump’s job performance, a 7-point increase from a League of American Workers poll conducted before the strikes, which placed Trump’s approval rating among his own voters at 88 percent.
Here’s how a senior congressional official who reviewed the poll responded to its findings: “There’s no Republican divide. Republicans back Israel. The pay-to-play MAGA ‘influencers’ have been exposed as having zero sway with Trump and zero sway on the Hill. They’re a joke and the good news is now we don’t even need to even pretend to take them seriously.” Ouch.

I’m all for regime change – really, I’m for accountability. Iran has been a bad actor for a long time.
That said, what follows after that? Colin Powell was wrong about a lotta things, he wasn’t wrong about “you own it”.
BS. Most have no problem with Israel doing their thing. The problem is if the US gets involved.
To dismiss Trump voters is a mistake. People will sit out in 2026 because once again, the focus is on another nation… not on domestic issues.
As Dave Smith so pithily put it, “no matter who you vote for, you always get John McCaine.”
So China doesn’t play into domestic politics?
Blanket statements like that po8nt to just a smidge off the edge of demagoguery
A very Leftist thing
Respectfully, reonsider before you accuse those who might otherwise agree with you
You don’t know me, so I’m exempt from your heinous attribution
Well I hope we give the Iranian people the same type of freedom we bestowed on the peoples of Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq……’Democracy or else, damn it!!’.
Nobody I know personally who voted for PDT is opposed to helping our ally w/the bunker-buster bombs, which have nothing to do w/sending ground troops or becoming “stuck in the middle.” It’s a moral issue and pretty clear to most of us in the Heartland.
No endless wars (and that includes the deification of VietName vets — it was a foreign war for blood and treasure that went on for decades — pretty much qualifies as “endless war” — yet, the left still scores points by saying PDT is a “draft dodger.” ) Time to welcome in the anti-war people and to remember that peace through strength means using it quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly when necessary — and then getting out.

Jeffrey Sachs is not exactly non biased.

Once again. When it comes to the Emir.
Start asking the right questions.
The only relevant questions of the unknowns is “Has a Qatar court ruled on the Oct 7th evidence?”
All other inquiries are just window dressings designed to turn a blind eye.
No one in the MSM has any knowledge to even ask that question, let alone knows the outcome.
A quintessential ‘trilliins at stake’ observation if there was ever one to make.
Qatar has always been afraid of Iran as they are right there and share a natural gas field.
Why would I choose Qatar, they gave sanctuary to Hamas whom the USA designated terrorists.
I choose PDJT who has put America first by not ignoring danger.
Trump is on Team Qatar.

Let’s see if he can walk the walk. IMO if he gets us into Iran, his presidency is as dead as his legacy will be.
Lots of opinions.
Time will tell as to which are correct, which are incorrect, and which fall somewhere in the middle.
And no more MAGA/NESARA…….
Trump is on team Israel, no citation needed
Your citation shows Qatar paying USA
You’re kind of slow on the uptake, because the entire premise of this story we’re commenting on is that “Qatar paid Tucker”. Supposedly that’s some big gotcha.
Not sure how it is wonderful for Qatar to pay “USA” but an abomination for them to pay Carlson.
Israel owns the house and the senate. what’s your point?
Don’t we have a military base in that country?
If they are a haven for terrorism, why are we still there?
Does anybody ever ask these questions? 😂😂
Have you ever flown from, say, Whiteman Air Force base to the Middle East in support of combat ops?
Were you wounded in some ME battle (justified war or not), would you prefer being medevaced to GE or Boston General?
Sometimes the force structure is sited where strategically important. Risk calculations are made. Kinda like cutting agreements with a nuclear power such as Russia that has a history of FSB espionage, murder, chem/bioweapons, cyber warfare, etc., on its ledger. For the moment, it’s in our interest.
Tucker exposes just how stupid and lazy lying Ted can be.
Ted let’s cat out of bag this is our war. gosh darn …. oopsi
Yes, another invented war.
SD views Qatar discussion about influencers, I agree to some degree. Maybe, but there is an elephant not mentioned here much likely because MAGA is not comprised of all Zionist. Just like all Jewish people aren’t Zionists. You would not know this to look at American media though, many Jewish voices are speaking up.
Qatar is where we have our largest AFB. Its a war hub in the MIC’s forever war on Russia to gain control of the world. Its why Hamas is located Qatar as the “Protaganist” for forever war safe and sound… Because that’s where we operate out of.
I suspect the approach has been to slowly address the elephant in the room, because of Zionism is a hot trigger.
Even AI picks up this controversial anomaly Israel/Hamas/Qatar, yet it hasn’t been discussed here unless I missed it somehow.
I first noted it in a Haaretz article I previously posted.
Haaretz – How Netanyahu Enabled October 7 With Suitcases of Cash
https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2023-12-20/ty-article-opinion/.premium/how-netanyahu-enabled-october-7-with-suitcases-of-cash/0000018c-8397-d219-a5bf-b7ff40660000
For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
My opinion is that videos like this have a larger goal that is to discredit President Trump who said no new wars. It’s intended to divide his base who likely disagree like much of the world on the controversial subject of Zionism.
Ted Cruz did not accidentally vomit out: “We’re carrying out military strikes today”.
Ted was carrying out an attack on President Trump.
Yep.
“Tucker exposes how stupid and lazy lying Ted can be.”
Tucker blindsides Cruz with two gotcha questions on Iran demographics, and for this you call him stupid?
Are you biased?
Well, Cruz couldn’t answer those basic questions. I like Cruz, but come on. Do some homework, Ted.
Tucker wasn’t out-of-bounds, he’s just exposing how foolish our leaders can sometimes be.
According to Wiki: “Iran has a population of approximately 92 million people as of 2025, with a diverse mix of ethnic groups including Persians, Turks, Kurds, and Arabs. The country has a median age of 34 years.
Iran’s population is predominantly Muslim, with about 99.6% identifying as such. Main religious minorities include Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians.”
Tucker was an ass. He has a very high opinion of himself.
I don’t think Ted needs to know the answers to these questions. More important, he knows Iran is a leading sponsor of terror. I think Tucker was out to get him, wanted to, and did set a confrontational tone.
I don’t think Lyin Ted is stupid at all. I believe it was presented on purpose to be an un sophisticated (Festus from gunsmoke style) “awe shucks Tuck you outsmarted me moment.”
Ted is far from stupid he’s a predator snake. For instance the Bushmaster is an ambush predator that can remain coiled in one position for several weeks, waiting for prey to pass by.
Ted just shifted responsibility for a War on the President while we know from the Ukraine things are happening that Trump isn’t informed about.
Tucker has lost his reasonableness. This was a planned attack on Senator Cruz. An undeserved one.
Tucker needs to push himself away from the dinner table. Looking pretty pudgy lately.
You gotta love how Israel can take out 11 Iranian leaders in a couple days with PINPOINT accuracy, but can’t seem to ever get those crafty hamas dudes.
Nah, the reality is that both sides are genociding while we enable it.
For years We The People {through extortion/taxation} have propped up the D/Hamas spirit of antichrist {anti America} party…
Now they’ve blown up on Our streets…
The process for their {D/Hamas} collapse has begun and it is irreversible…

It’s not a new war. It’s an old war that has been brought home to one of the instigators who have employed proxies or acted directly (e.g., Iraq).
There. Nuance addressed.
always remember when it comes to war, first casualty is truth.
as I said to my friend
Fog of War
you don’t know who is on what side
and it takes time to identify the players
I had hopes that Ted Cruz might eventually make it to the Supreme Court..
IMHO Cruz would be a far better constitutionally conservative SCOTUS justice than a neocon Senator.
agree with you GB..he will have more freedom there(SC) …than in the CONgre$$…where he have to answer foreign lobbyists……

I’ll be here all week.. Try the veal..
This is rich. Two late-comers to America First arguing about what America First means and how you practice it.
The description of the America First positions the US has taken regarding Israel/Iran are set forth in the statements by President Trump and Vice President Vance. I agree with and support those statements 100%. Messrs. Cruz and Carlson would do well to study those statements, because they summarize THE America First positions, and I would prefer to hear each man’s reactions to the Trump and Vance statements.
There is a good piece about Israel and America First over at Oren Cass’s site.
https://www.understandingamerica.co/p/is-israel-the-ideal-america-first
Sundance presented the Trump and Vance statements here:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/06/17/jd-vance-delivers-message-about-iran/
Trump already told us what America First means by word and actions
It’s not his place to tell us. He’s our employee, not our cult leader.
It is Trump’s place to explain what he’s doing and why.
He is not our employee.
Elected officials are not employees.
Elected officials occupy a unique position that blends elements of both employment and public service. They are accountable to the public, but they also have specific terms of office and are not subject to the same level of direct oversight as traditional employees.
Thank you. I am so sick of sycophants. I have been on the Trump train from start… but he is far from perfect.
There was an America First movement before Trump. There has been one for decades. Buchanan was always America First.
Neither Trump nor Vance gets to define America First. It’s a movement of the American people and no one person or small group of people owns it.
There is a movement going on led by the neocons to redefine “America First” as meaning America must be the worlds undisputed ruler and all other countries must bow down before us. That is essentially the opposite of what the America First movement is all about.
Both Trump and Vance can define their understanding of what “America First” means to them.
Then they answer to voters in the next election.
Outside of death, in·capac·ity, or impeachment, Trump and Vance are empowered to do the jobs they were elected to do.
Buchanan was America First.
Yes he was and the RINO establishment waged political jihad on him when he dared to win the New Hampshire primary which was, up to that point, the key to the GOP nomination.
All those Palestinian rioting in America are heavily supported by Iran. Iran tried to assassinate Trump. Iran is killing Americans in foreign countries. Iran has said it will nuke America if it gets a chance. Why is this not our problem?
Like Tucker said, Iran didn’t try to assassinate Trump bc if they did, where’s the massive retaliation strikes? There are none, no one has mentioned it. Worse still, Trump hasn’t cared to find out who was behind his two attempts. Why?
Tucker is wrong, The retaliation strikes are happening right now, Israel our ally is participating in those strikes, didn’t you notice? Trump doesn’t need to mention it and alert the mullahs, he just said “ the hunter is now the hunted” and wants to be in on the kill shot with Israel because he wants the credit too.
You gotta admit that at the time of the “assassination attempts” the US regime was not interested in retaliation. That regime was quite likely disappointed when the “attempts” failed.
That is fear mongering. There is no evidence Iran could nuke America. The people who are rioting and protesting our streets don’t need Iran to tell them what to do. They are fully funded by others.
To consider if this does go to completion. Iran is 603,000 square miles. Iraq is 169,000 square miles. Iran more than 3 times larger than Iraq. And Iraq is still unstable. I’m sure the Shah’s son and heir to the throne would not go in until totally safe……and who would he expect to make it safe……..
The Shah’s son wouldn’t be a guaranteed leader in Iran.
George Soros to the Left of me. Israel to the Right. Here I am stuck in the middle with Jews.
Happy For the Jew Lie
Gross
..and neocons/globalists/russophobes……
This might be the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever watched, but I’m loving the jokes that came out of it
Isn’t it about time for Tucker to appear on an episode of “Ancient Aliens”?
Why? Because he asks questions others don’t.
..here is still some ppl which love presstitutes ….MSM…Go Tucker Go !!!!!!!
Tucker has lost his luster on this one.
My view is President Trump is a peace guy, that’s what he said and that’s what he means. I’m not sure what influence the “finish Iran off” crowd has but it doesn’t align with MAGA principles. Israel can take care of Iran without our involvement not withstanding the bunker buster which, while practical in eliminating the nuclear threat makes us a party to the war. How much of what Israel has done was based on their own intelligence and needs and in spite if negotiations by the Trump Administration. I think there are lots of Muslim countries watching how we react and at least one of them has nuclear capabilities.
Further, making a stance against being the world’s policeman would strengthen our resolve to exit our involvement in Ukraine. Neither of these wars are MAGA.
If President Trump decides to use the bunker buster, I am not abandoning him. There is better intelligence than I have. The downfall of the Allotoya’s is greatly desired by most sane people. But, these wars are not America first, just America (CIA) as usual.
Does anyone have a source for this alleged nuclear threat? Bc Jeffrey Sachs, the preeminent scholar on the Middle East who has actually been there and talked to all of the leaders, says that not only does no one in the Middle East want Iran to become nuclear, but Iran itself doesn’t want to either.
They have Urainium, they have centrifuges for enriching Uranium. They say they want to destroy Israel and then the US. Of course they want a nuclear bomb.
Iran used proxies to attack USA and said it wasn’t me, now Trump did it to them.
Brings back memories of John McCain:
“Bomb, bomb Iran”
McCain is still living, vicariously through Miss Whimsy.
79% of adults do not want to see Iran with a nuke.
not sure what’s wrong with the other 21%.
but this is intentionally conflating questions.
How do we know they ain’t got a mountainside full of them already?
I’ll take that poll with a tub of salt, I don’t care how “reputable” they are.
And I’m one of the 79%. But I’m also one of the 80-90% who understands that yet another regime change / nation building project in west Asia is just absolute madness.
And we have history to prove that scaring people with “WMDs” is a favorite tactic meant to get us to agree to do very bad things.
exactly. they intentionally conflate questions so that the next logical fallacy is “you’re either with us or with the terrorists.”
how many of those 79% will send their son or daughter to iran to hunt for the WMDs and then fight a war to prevent it? and if they find there were none to begin with, do we all get our money back?
It never ceases to amaze me how some of the commenters (especially the plethora of new people) fail to remember how President Trump negotiates. Granted, the nuclear stakes are the highest. But the Ukraine war and the Iran war are inseparable.
The operation to blow up the Russian bombers and the smuggling of drones into Iran is too similar to be a fluke. The same group pulled off both operations. (What are the chances of two groups coming up with same plan independently within the same time frame?)
This is where Trump excels- remember Rocket Man and whose button works? This ultimatum is the negotiation’s starting point. I wouldn’t be surprised to see both wars tied up with a pretty bow and the Deep Staters out looking for a new area to rabble rouse.
If Trump pulls this off it will set back the IC 50 years. Don’t let the wedge-people make you pick sides, it’s what they do. There is no perfect MAGAperson, not even Trump.
Let Trump be Trump.
Another interpretation is that Trump says “negotiations” to buy time for Ukraine and Israel to plot more attacks.
“Hey, let’s negotiate while we plan your deaths.”
I hope you’re right and Iran caves before the B2’s start dropping 30,000 lb bombs. Because if they call Trump’s bluff, it’s not going to end with a few bombs.
Trump isn’t bluffing
In a much larger sense, there’s a lesson to be learned from Trump’s pragmatic approach to solving global conflict issues:
Trump’s a lot more invested in RESULTS than PROCESS
Avoiding the sugar high can be accomplished by simply committing to ditching sugar, switching for something that has real, long-term results.
Have some nuts instead (lol) I like pecans, they’ve got that little sweet finish, highly recommend a light toasting first…OINK!
THE TRADE IS SO WORTH IT
President Roosevelt, what is the population of Germany, of Japan, Italy. Ok, what is the ethnic mix of those countries? That’s what I thought. And before becoming allies with England, what’s the largest river that runs through it?
Got it, so you’re in the invade and Total War camp. Otherwise why use that comparison.
There you go again, no invasion, no total war, Israel doing the heavy lifting and after fordow the Iranians will overthrow the mullahs or not.
Knowing how many people live in a country is the determination? That’s something a silly college protester would ask.
Lying Ted is a weasel.
I don’t care for Tucker but kudos for calling Lying Ted out.
I COULD HAVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION.
Ted just does his masters bidding and it isn’t the American public.
He’s an ignorant, lying, greedy WAR PIG just like his father>LBJ.
And Tucker-he’s not even a real journalist,; he’s an operative, an entertainer.
When’s the last time Tucker did a deep dive on anything?
0.o
Almost as hard as he hits that poor couch.
hes watching Con Inc.
Hannity..
Yep.
That was very unpleasant to watch. Is Tucker advocating we do nothing, and allow the mullahs to have their nuclear weapons? The bit where he memorizes a couple of statistics and uses them to paint the other guy as ignorant is a classic media trick. Iran with nukes and thee leaders who control them is the issue, and that does not change whether the population is 50, 100 or 200 million people. My respect for him plummeted as I watched this video.
Ted has selective photographic memory
Can someone please explain to me what Qatar side believes other than no wars. Why is it called Qatar side? Sorry, just explain to me like I’m a 5 year old. I won’t be offended
Sounds like the CIA could very well be running the attacks out of Iran. I wish Trump would elaborate on his chitty-chat with Vlad last night AND who was on those two planes. The targeting of highly populated areas in Israel vs strategic targeting of logistically effective hits sez “PLEEZE MOAB ME”
The report about the E4 in the air is SO INTRIGUING, too, it would be absolutely off-the-charts to see if Ayatollah K-Dawg ain’t the only one under his threads
Gee whiz i didnt knownwe had become such pussies War is bad but sometimes one has to fight. This does not rise to war.
Message to Treepers from the great beyond El Rusbo says “when its time to panic he will let us know “
It’s never time to “panic.” Instead, try putting on the full armor of God and we’ll see who blinks first.
Just now watching the full interview on youtube……45 minutes in (approximately)….Cruz accuses Carlson of being an antisemite because he can’t defend his position on taking money from and being influenced by AIPAC and won’t admit that AIPAC at the very least tacitly coordinates its efforts with Israel for the purpose of gaining advantageous policy positions for Israel. It sure seems that Cruz is very defensive about his positions and Carlson seems to be asking reasonable questions. Am I seeing this video wrong?
Cruz doesn’t support Israel because he gets money from AIPAC. AIPAC gives him money because he supports Israel and WTF is wrong with that.
Cruz said his number one priority was to support Israel based off his interpretation of the Bible and didn’t mention the two million AIPAC dollars. lmao.
How’s he different than a fundamentalist mullah?
The mullah knows the scripture they cite.
Ummmm, wake up…….the ONLY reason ANY. US Senator or Representative supports any policy position is because they are give money and free all expense paid trips by lobbying firms who represent corporate and other nations interests. Cruz is no different than any other politician – Republican or Democrat in Washington……they are all vapid, soulless humans who would all sell their mothers if they thought they could make more money and they all could care less about the people they supposedly represent, which is why senators like Cruz sent billions in US taxpayer dollars to Ukraine but couldn’t use those billions here in our cities to give us our tax money back or fight the fentanyl and crime epidemics in this country.
Black and white thinking is child’s fool play.
Trump entered a game when the board was set in motion and he had to navigate the board he inherited.
Generally speaking , many voters fall into all or nothing, black and white thinking, no nuance applied. The world does not work that way and if one wishes to win the game and advance on the board they better have the capacity to critically think all aspects of an issue in play.
Again in general, the sum of a person is not one moment or even one stance taken in any given moment. I like Tucker and Cruz, and very much Musk. The problem lies when Tucker’s all or nothing gotchya hysterics might make for good ratings and more eyes/ears on – it does not make for good national security policy or actions. He is free to express his opinion on matters but should be taken with a grain of salt as most opinions are.
The only fracturing in MAGA that may be happening is among the headline only , easily mailable/manipulated sorts who stand on a hill and demand it my way or no way. the Rand Pauls’, Massie’s, Bannon’s, Tuckers’s of this movement have multi layered agendas that serve them first .
Trump has ALWAYS had one stance on Iran , in 2016 through till an hour ago. ” Iran must never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and I will do whatever it takes to assure that never happens!” Any MAGA who is confused about his Iran moves is one who was IS very informed and went along with the us or them mentality.
Trump is right on this.
As an aside, if one wished to truly achieve a goal of assisting Trump/ administration to achieve success and positive outcomes one should first seek to do so in private between one another. Grandstanding is not effective or intellectually honest.
The Hate the Jews crew equally have their agendas so I suggest of one is jaded – fine -and perhaps righteously so from past occurrences. But do not buck wild react without full due diligence and try to allow the possibility one may be wrong on the subject at hand.
Well said. I for one don’t give a sh$$ about this cat fight between a media asset and a Senate a@@.
It is trolling for fun and profit.
Keep your eyes on the big picture. If Israel takes out Iran’s ability to make nukes, it is good for EVERYONE.
Helping them to achieve that goal is NOT the same as calling for US boots on the ground.
Make the distinction or go away.
Tucker Carlson is the guy who, after the 10/7 Hamas attacks on Israel, said the U.S. shouldn’t get involved because this is a regional conflict that’s been going on for Centuries, never acknowledging that immediately following the attacks anti-Israel, antisemitic and anti-US riots broke out worldwide, including at our elite Universities. He’s apparently deaf to Hamas’s cry of death to Israel typically being followed by cries of death to the U.S. But, ho hum, not our problem.
I heard Tucker state that any Country that can’t defend itself without the help of the US has no business being a Country. (Yes, he said that, apparently forgetting about NATO’s purpose.) His convoluted thinking puts Israel’s vulnerability of being surrounded by massive forces intent on its annihilation on a par with the position of other Countries of the world. In effect, it’s nothing to him if Israel is destroyed because Israel is to blame for putting itself in a dangerous position they can’t handle alone.
This is a personality that thinks he’s ingratiating his audience (and covering up for his lack of interview prep) with a creepy unprovoked laugh that would make a hyena cringe.
Anti-US riots and rhetoric have been widespread in America for generations now, and have always been defended on “freedom of speech” grounds. Nobody in power has ever seemed even slightly troubled by ‘Death To America’. The fact that we allow it is supposedly a sign of our strength.
But they go DefCon 1 when the very same attitudes are levelled at Israel. I think Americans are fully entitled to wonder why their leadership class consistently displays far more support for foreign powers than they do for the country they rule over.
Who gave the order for the IDF to stand down for 7+ hours on Oct. 7th??.. BiBi blamed the Generals. The Generals blamed BiBi. How many Generals faced Courts Martial or the IDF equivalent and then the firing squad?
I thought the Israelis were incapable of intelligence failures..
Bwa ha ha ha!
I’m on Team America. It’s that simple. No conspiracy. No shenanigans.
I don’t understand other cultures like those in Iran. I only understand my own. I don’t want any refugees. I don’t care whether Iran is *free* or not. What difference does that make to me, when our leaders have been enriching China for years, that already has a social credit score?
At the end of day, this is MY COUNTRY, and I have the right to question my leaders motives. Don’t let anyone gaslight you.
Whether it is Congress, the Chief Executive, or our municipal leaders — they will have to hear from us.
My trust for Tucker Carlson is gas station sushi level.
Lying Ted damns himself.
Are Madc*w admirer ??????
I personally have been done with Tucker for a while now. His recent communication on June 13, 2025 “TCN Morning Note: An Act of War, Sponsored by the United States” was the final nail in the coffin for me.
Spreading this rubbish in these volatile times is completely irresponsible.
How was that NOT an act of war? And was the United States not sponsoring it?
A lot of commenters here would support an Israeli nuclear attack on just about any country on Earth short of the US. They literally can do no wrong in many peoples eyes.
I call bull. You make it sound like Israel could act like Hamas or any other regional homicidal maniac and we’d all clap and cheer.
It’s ridiculous hyperbole.
The threats against Israel are real and not hidden by their enemies. They have a right to defend themselves.
I am also sick of these endless wars and the narrative that Iran is on the brink of having a nuclear bomb. They must have a bomb by now or it is all more fear propaganda to drop bombs.
Let’s not forget that Tucker’s positions have received hearty amens from the certifiable Candace Owens.
A month or so ago, Tucker and Pierced Organ sat in a Riyadh location and interviewed one another …who I’d be willing to bet, paid for their presence handsomely; I wonder how much Qatar paid them? Outright payment or promises of access (like the MSM claim they don’t get pay for but desperately don’t want to endanger) just prove that journalists are the second oldest professions–politicians are only number three.
If this had been a debate between two leftists, it likely would have erupted in a Jerry Springer-like fistfight. As it is, it shows that leading conservatives can disagree and still not resort to violence.
I semi like Ted Cruz. I trust Ted Cruz over Tucker and I only slightly trust Ted. I completely trust President Trump to do what he thinks is best for the USA. I suspect that may include bunker buster strikes on Iran. I trust President Trump to do his best to keep us out of wars. I believe President Trump has this. I can tell you that Kamala would have the USA hip deep in at least one war at this point.
In response to a question about Tucker Carlson denouncing him for supporting Israel’s murder-mania in Iran, Trump said:
“I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen.”
Ted Cruz is way to glib and reckless -hubris, operating without humility. He supports the Ukrainian war. So easy to over turn governments and kill innocent people in the pursuit of “Democracy”.
Rubio drug Trump into the final trap(Camp David) without his only help(Tulsi). Hell, the gang was all there
Qatar? Really, Tucker?
My son saw on tik tok women in Iran taking off their head coverings and cheering. He asked me if leader was killed. Reply: not that I know of. Maybe the people see a window opening 🤷♀️
remember those iconic images of pulling down the saddam statue and the men hitting it with their shoes?
and then the actual war got started.
Don’t know if I can stand watching the whole thing. Tucker starts out as a complete asshole.
I’m confused.
If Qatar is CIA, and Tucker is funded by them, then wouldn’t Tucker support the Ukraine war against Russia?
He doesn’t, he believes NATO has caused this conflict, and rightfully so.
Back stapping Cruz and his support for the CIA funded Ukrainian war can kiss my a$$.
all these convoluted backroom alliances and what not… its so confusing to understand whose side they are all on…
OR…
occams razor, and suddenly he is surprisingly consistent: STOP GETTING INTO WARS THAT ARE NOT OUR BUSINESS

Susan Kokinda dissects the significant events that transpired at the G7 Summit, where President Trump challenged the global elite and revealed his plans to dismantle the post-war British imperial system. Amid ongoing crises with Israel and Iran, Trump is seen forging unexpected alliances with Russia and China. Kokinda explains how Trump’s economic policies are benefiting blue-collar workers and threatens the globalist agenda. She also delves into the deep historical roots of British imperial control and highlights the importance of supporting Trump’s revolutionary approach for a future of sovereign republics.
Nimitz is to be retired next year and was also the launch pad for the failed hostage rescue in 1980(?).
Seems odd to send her through the straight at this particular point.
imagine being one of the boys on that boat and realizing you are bait for Lindsey Graham’s next fix.
The full Tucker interview with Ted is out, incredible. At treehouse I thought we dealt in facts. All the ad hominem attacks prior to even watching the interview is absurd.
After watching it Ted doesn’t come across as genuine. The interview cements my opinion that AIPAC should be subject to FARA. It also cements my thoughts that the Israel First crowd continually conflate discussions of a foreign government influence over America as an attack on all Jews. Furthermore the interview confronts the errant belief that the Bible commands Christians to support the modern day nation state of Israel formed in 1948.
Isn’t the term “Israel First crowd” an ad hominem ???
AIPAC is not an agent of a foreign power. It is funded by Americans who want to influence American foreign policy which supports Israel. Politicians and Lobbyists try to influence policy. Businesses and individuals can choose what foreign or domestic policy they want by funding lobbyists. IT’S THE AMERICAN WAY.
🚨 TRUMP: Tucker Carlson called and apologized.
🚨 JUST IN – PRESIDENT TRUMP: “I did ask Tucker [Carlson] – are you OK with nuclear weapons being in the hands of Iran? And he didn’t like that. I said – if it’s OK with you, then you and I have a difference.”
“It’s really not OK with him, therefore, you may have to fight. Maybe it’ll end very quickly.”
“Whether you have to fight or not, you can’t allow Iran…the entire world will blow up.”
That interview exposed in Tucker the cognitive dissonance that is afflicting his normally well ordered mind.
He hasn’t thought through the irreconcilable consequences of his pacifist position when faced with an apocalyptic military threat.
He needs to answer the question: are you satisfied with a future in which Iran and every Islamic nation in the Middle East are nuclear armed? Because I am not.
The Tucker Mockingbird has exposed his birdbrain.
America First, not Israel First, bucko. Tucker and Trump are working together.
The neocons created the IC to benefit them, not the country, remember?
The Saudis for sure would get one pronto.
Nonsense—not well disquised anti- semitism
If Iran has nuclear warheads, then every other ME State will want/demand/get nukes. MAD works.
Both sides of this influence campaign have predicated their argument with the idea that this is a binary choice.
War or allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons.
It’s a false choice.
Probably been said and posted by now. Tucker was all in on eliminating the threat over Iran years ago. I don’t have a problem with him changing his mind. I would like to know why and nobody asks him that.
He’s getting paid.
Who is “you” and what’s with “maybe” and what do yo mean by “fight”?
Hopefully the art of the deal at play here. Nothing like throwing gas on a fire, eh?
This is MBS, the Saudi king, telling Israel to not cause a Chernobyl or use nukes, they don’t want the fallout.
The Saudis, through Trump, are saying keep this war conventional, no nukes.
Tucker and Trump are working together as good-cop bad-cop; Tucker brings up the worst fear, that tactical nuclear (not conventional) weapons will be used, which would open the door to others using limited-yield nukes; Trump then gives a firm reply, demonstrating who’s calling the shots (and it’s not the IC, the neocons, or Israel.)
You don’t think Trump and Vince McMahon were ever anything but friends, do you? Trump once shaved Vince’s head for losing a bet as his “arch-enemy.”
