Tucker Carlson says Republicans are headed for a brutal defeat in the midterms, and he blames Trump directly.

• Carlson predicts the GOP will take a beating at the polls, calling the party weak and dishonest, with harsh words for House Speaker Mike Johnson specifically.
• He says Democrats are about to take power and the country will soon see how extreme they really are.
• His core argument: Trump kept his base's loyalty through most controversies, but lost people by spending American lives and money on a war that wasn't America's fight.
• He frames this as squarely Trump's doing, not a broader Republican failure.

Outlook: Carlson expects a heavy Republican defeat in the midterms, setting up a Democratic-controlled government next.
