Tucker Carlson has had his disagreements with President Trump.
But the two are friends, and Carlson picked up on a message Trump wanted to send.
And Nobody wanted to say it out loud. Tucker Carlson just did. And it changes everything.
In a primetime White House address to the nation, President Trump updated Americans on the progress in the war against Iran.
When the war started, Trump promised Americans he would avoid a forever war quagmire like the ones the United States fell into in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Trump reiterated that the war was likely to last another 2-3 weeks, at which time America would achieve its military objectives.
Currently, Iran’s main source of leverage is its control over the Straits of Hormuz.
Warmongers in D.C. and Israel are calling on Trump to launch a ground invasion into Iran to take control of the Strait of Hormuz.
In his speech, Trump rejected that scheme and told Americans that the Strait would “naturally open” once the fighting ended.
The media slammed Trump’s speech for falling flat.
But Tucker Carlson heaped praise on the President for the blunt message he delivered.
A ground invasion into Iran would put thousands of troops at risk, and polls show very few Americans support “boots on the ground.”
Once ground forces enter Iran, the ability to end the war quickly vanishes as opening the Strait of Hormuz and keeping it open requires an extended U.S. military presence, where the troops face sustained drone, missile, and bomb attacks.
Carlson applauded Trump for recognizing this reality and rejecting the ground troops option many warmongers pressed him to take.
“We can’t open the Straits of Hormuz. The president of the United States said that last night—someone else do it. So we’re done,” Carlson began.
“That’s okay. It was always going to end. Hopefully, we can get out without a nuclear exchange. But now it is ending,” Carlson added.
Carlson went on to explain that Trump exercising caution and restraint would benefit Americans, as the government could focus on problems at home once the war ended.
“And there’s going to be a lot of suffering and sadness as a result of that end. But there will also be—there is—an awful lot of promise. Promise that the United States can act in its own interest, that it can be reasonable, that it will not be governed by deranged people seized by hubris, or get way out over their skis and get a ton of people killed. You don’t have to occupy countries you’ve never been to, and can’t identify on a map,” Carlson continued.
Carlson said the end of the war would hopefully end the globalist dominance of pushing America into foreign wars in the Middle East, since Carlson argued no one even pretends anymore that this war was fought for anything other than the strategic interests of foreign nations.
“So those ideas—neoconservatism, the preservation of empire, the idea that you take orders from a tiny country far away—all of those things have risen right to the surface. No longer whispered about. We can just say it openly because no one’s hiding it anymore. And we can all say they’re destructive, stupid, and bad for the United States. So those debates are over. We now know what’s going on, and now we can change it,” Carlson concluded.
Carlson supports President Trump’s America First agenda.
And Carlson expressed his view that Trump’s speech set up an America First future that the public should rally behind.
