Tucker Carlson tears into pro-war voices pushing America toward conflict for Israel
A blistering attack on the hawks demanding Americans sacrifice for a war with Iran, framed as bad for the working-class Americans who always end up doing the fighting.
- The push to fight for Israel is called shameful, aimed at people already pressured by high gas prices and a shrinking economy.
- The war boosters are accused of lecturing ordinary Americans about toughness while having overseen their decline.
- The opioid crisis is held up as proof: the Sackler family flooded Appalachia with painkillers, wrecking the same communities that supplied soldiers for past wars.
- The core charge is hypocrisy — elites demanding a "can-do" spirit from people they have exploited and abandoned.
Outlook: Expect the fight over U.S. involvement in a Middle East war to keep splitting the right, with populists like this pushing hard against military action.
