About this episode

Tucker Carlson discusses his break with Trump and the GOP while advocating for a new anti-war political movement and expanding his media presence.

Tucker Carlson has spent the past few days doubling down on his break with Donald Trump and the Republican establishment, while pushing both his independent media projects and his idea of a new, anti‑war political force. The most prominent new development is his extended interview with Mishal Husain, released by Bloomberg and transcribed by SingjuPost, where Carlson attacks Trump over the Iran war and U.S. policy toward Israel. In that conversation, he accuses Trump of being “weak,” says Israel is steering U.S. foreign policy to America’s detriment, and argues that the Iran conflict has “gravely hurt the United States.” He also predicts that Republicans will get “spanked” in the upcoming midterms because they have abandoned voters in favor of foreign entanglements, and describes the GOP as a party that no longer represents its base. At the same time, outlets like Responsible Statecraft and IsraelPalestineNews.org report that Carlson is now openly promoting the creation of a third, anti‑war political party or “third force.” He says he has left the Republican Party, does not plan to run for office himself, but wants to help build a coalition that unites disaffected conservatives…
