Tucker and Steve Bannon Discuss Israel, Iran in Dual Interviews

Issue #295 | Because he's awesome

Now — It’s getting serious. A double dose of Tucker and Steve Bannon in conversation definitely turns up the heat in the analysis and opinions flying across the media landscape over the Israel / Iran situation.

If you happen to be perpetually online, then you’re probably aware of the MAGA divide over the battle between Israel and Iran.

It’s heated, to say the least. The TV channels might have a word or two, but online, whew — it’s a MAGA battle royale.

Tucker and former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon have stepped into the spotlight as the face of MAGA's resistance to U.S. involvement in the conflict.

Surveying the MAGA brouhaha is President Trump, a man spinning many plates at the moment.

And while I am sure he is weighing all options, he didn’t shy away from the MAGA hullabaloo, taking a social media shot at Tucker on Monday, over his criticism of the president’s posture toward Iran.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social website Monday evening:

“Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”

Via The Hill:

Trump’s attack on the longtime cable news host-turned-podcast and multimedia personality came just hours after reporters asked him about Carlson’s urging that the U.S. stay out of a quickly escalating war between Israel and Iran.

“I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen,” the president said during a meeting with the British prime minister at the Group of Seven summit, an even he left early on Monday due to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.

Tucker would be the first to remind everyone that Trump won the presidency because Americans wanted a leader who would secure the border, protect U.S. jobs, and stop our country’s involvement in endless foreign wars.

The conflict in the Middle East has a chance to subvert that third pillar.

How big a crisis is this? Can the U.S. reverse course? Steve Bannon joins The Tucker Carlson Show to break it all down.

Also: Tucker dropped by Bannon’s show - War Room - on Monday for a fiery, 45-minute chat, which I highlight below.

Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon: A War-Weary Wake-Up Call

On Monday in Washington, D.C., Tucker Carlson sat down with Steve Bannon for an unfiltered, high-voltage conversation that tore into U.S. foreign policy, media complicity, and the personal cost of refusing to toe the line. Carlson didn’t come to play safe—he came to say what few dare to say: America’s being dragged into another Middle East disaster, and the media is once again leading the charge.

For anyone trying to make sense of the noise, this wasn’t just another interview. It was a gut check.

Carlson, back in the capital for interviews, didn’t hide his exhaustion with the endless push toward foreign entanglements.

"I don’t want anything to do with it,” he said, referring to rising tensions with Iran. His concerns? Not Tehran, but small-town Americans taking out loans for groceries, the fentanyl epidemic, and collapsing life expectancy. "I just want to talk about keeping the dollar stores open in rural America,” he said—half-sarcastic, fully serious.
