Speaker 1: There is now a huge schism within the MAGA movement.
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, one of maga's premiere, leading prominent influencers and
Speaker 1: up until recently, a huge Trump supporter, has now come
Speaker 1: out against President Trump, and in particular, Tucker Carlson now
Speaker 1: argues that Trump's open public support for Benjamin net Nyahou
Speaker 1: and Israel's attack on Tehran Iran is now a fundamental
Speaker 1: betrayal of the magabase and of the voters who put
Speaker 1: him in the White House. According to Tucker Carlson, the
Speaker 1: United States has no business backing Israel in its targeted
Speaker 1: nuclear and missile strikes against the key nuclear infrastructure and
Speaker 1: facilities that Iran now has across their entire country. According
Speaker 1: now to Tucker, this iss fight and bb net Nyaho
Speaker 1: is trying to suck drag the United States in on
Speaker 1: the side of Israel to fight Iran and impose regime change.
Speaker 1: And as Tucker said bluntly on an interview with Steve Bannon,
Speaker 1: a war with Iran would be the end of the
Speaker 1: American Empire, It would break Trump's presidency, and it would
Speaker 1: be a fundamental betrayal, a broken promise to his supporters
Speaker 1: and voters that he would end endless wars. Trump now
Speaker 1: has responded saying that a nuclear Iran, a nuclear armed Iran,
Speaker 1: is so reckless and irresponsible that if you want peace,
Speaker 1: it's the one thing that must be avoided. That a
Speaker 1: nuclear Iran will lead to a holocaust with Israel and
Speaker 1: a larger regional war. It is a risk that the
Speaker 1: civilized world cannot take. And so here now stand Trump
Speaker 1: and Tucker Carlson. And what is interesting to me is
Speaker 1: that Tucker now sees it as himself as the person
Speaker 1: who defines who is MAGA and who isn't MAGA. Well,
Speaker 1: as Trump said, Trump is the one who has led
Speaker 1: the MAGA movement for the last ten years, not Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 1: And moreover, Tucker Carlson may talk a good game, but
Speaker 1: in the end, the man who has to make the
Speaker 1: decisions is President Trump. He has seen the intelligence from Israel.
Speaker 1: He believes that Iran is several weeks away from sprinting
Speaker 1: to acquiring the nuclear bomb. And as he rightly said,
Speaker 1: a nuclear armed Iran guarantees a nuclear holocaust. And if
Speaker 1: you believe in peace, and if you believe in not
Speaker 1: having wars, a nuclear Iran will guarantee the mother of
Speaker 1: all wars. On this one, I'm with Trump and not Tucker.
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson has jumped the shark, and as I said
Speaker 1: on Newsmax yesterday, and I want to reemphasize it, so far,
Speaker 1: Trump has brilliantly handled the Middle East situation. He has
Speaker 1: threaded the needle. He is supporting Israel and bab Net
Speaker 1: Nyahu as they pound the Mullahs into submission and destroy
Speaker 1: and degrade their nuclear capacity, their military infrastructure, their ability
Speaker 1: to ever threaten their neighbors again. Yet he hasn't committed
Speaker 1: one American boot on the ground, one American missile, one
Speaker 1: American warplane, or one American fighter jet. Israel is not
Speaker 1: asking us to fight their war. All they're asking us
Speaker 1: is to let them fight their war and end the
Speaker 1: threat posed by the Mullas Tucker Carlson is wrong, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is right. And my suggestion to Tucker, maybe it's
Speaker 1: time you keep your powder dry, because the longer this
Speaker 1: war goes on, the more the obvious fact of Iran's
Speaker 1: illicit nuclear weapons program is going to be exposed and
Speaker 1: Israel will be vindicated. As I said on the air,
Speaker 1: and I'll say it again, Israel shall fight, and Israel
Speaker 1: shall be right.
