Hello and welcome to today’s episode. A new split has opened up on the right over the crisis with Iran, and at the center are two former allies: Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump. Carlson has been one of the loudest voices warning against another Middle East war, arguing it “would be a true disaster” and reminding listeners that “Washington knew these attacks would happen” as the U.S. funneled arms to Israel. But Trump has turned sharply against him, mocking Carlson as “kooky” on Truth Social and declaring, “IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!” Behind the feud is a larger fight in the GOP between hawks demanding any Iranian nuclear program be stopped by force and the America First faction urging restraint. As Trump doubles down on forcing Iran to abandon its bomb, Carlson’s influence appears to be waning—and the future of the noninterventionist wing of the party is in serious doubt. That’s all for today’s minute of politics.
