Donald Trump Lashes Out Against Tucker, Claims War for Israel is the Core of “America First”

Andrew Anglin June 17, 2025

Donald Trump’s off-hand denouncement of Tucker Carlson was funny. He’s usually funny. In response to a question about Tucker Carlson denouncing him for supporting Israel’s murder-mania in Iran, Trump said: “I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen.”

As ridiculous as it seems, it appears that Donald Trump actually thinks that Fox News has more viewers than the internet, and as long as Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are backing his “eternal war for the Jews and their pile of shoes” play, he’s going to be fine in terms of his public support. This definitely goes counter to his campaign strategy, which relied heavily on the internet and podcasts.

I don’t think we can calculate the numbers, but “the internet, generally” has thousands of times the views by Americans that Fox News has. Tucker Carlson specifically, who was the most popular host on Fox News before being fired (apparently for opposing the Ukraine war), got 3-4 million views a night on the network. Currently, across YouTube, Twitter, Spotify, etc., he gets 10-20 million views. (His interview with Putin, with over a quarter billion views, is the most watched interview in history, even though it was sort of really boring.) This isn’t really complicated math, and it seems like something Trump should be aware of.

Meanwhile, the arrogant and smug faggot Jesse Watters (who is either a homosexual or a PUA, no one can tell the difference anymore), who replaced Tucker on Fox News, gets 1.5-2 million views. Half. Meaning people generally were watching Tucker, not just “Fox News prime time.” And get this: Sean Hannity, the ultimate Israel cheerleader, whose show airs in the former Tucker spot (now occupied by Watters) had an audience drop of 3.5 million to 2.5 million after Tucker was fired, because Tucker was propping up his show that much.

Then you can obviously go into the numbers of Candace Owens, Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Tim Dillon, and virtually every other top podcaster on the internet, all getting multi-million view counts, and find that all of them are extremely hostile to Trump over his support for Israel, both their genocide in Gaza and their war with Iran.

It would be hard to work out the numbers, but if we include the pro-Israel Fox News, and then stuff like Ben Shapiro and a few other neocons on the internet, and then compare it to the amount of media against this Jewish mania, you would probably find that about 85% of total views/listens of right-wing media content are anti-Israel. If you only included people under the age of 45, that number would end up being close to 100% (realistically, it would be 97-98%).

Trump later attacked Tucker on “Truth Social,” calling him a kook for questioning this “eternal war for Jews” narrative and reiterating the dumb claim that this is about Iran being 10 minutes away from launching a nuke.

Here’s something interesting: I don’t doubt that there are many millions of Trump personality cultists in America who will support whatever Trump does – they’d support full boots on the ground war with Iran and if he called for it, war with Israel. But I don’t think there is any media like that. I’m sure there is some somewhere, but for the overwhelming majority, they will support Trump (or not) based on his position on Israel (and war more broadly, but Israel is clearly the big one). The likes of Hannity and Shapiro, as we saw recently, will attack Trump if he appears to be opposing Israel, and when it comes to the (much more popular and relevant) podcast/streaming crowd, there doesn’t appear to be anyone who will support Trump going full-Israel.

It’s worth noting that OAN, which is not getting huge numbers of views but represents a kind of halfway point between Fox News and podcasts, has a show hosted by Matt Gaetz that recently had on Marjorie Taylor Greene denouncing Trump for pushing for war with Iran.

Charlie Kirk is another kind of point between old TV media and the internet, and uh…

Trump is literally saying that “America First” is about fighting a war with Iran for Israel.

Trump is very good at self-parody, but that does not appear to be self-aware self-parody. Those appear to be the words of a man who is bought and paid for by a foreign country, and is going to act in the interests of that country while claiming without evidence that these interests somehow line up with the interests of the country he’s supposed to be running.

Tucker’s latest episode, released 12 hours ago, is an interview with Steve Bannon which appears to be focused on the Iran issue. I haven’t watched it yet, but it seems prudent to include it here.

If Trump is in the process of declaring war not only on Iran, but on all of his main supporters, this is going to go… well, it’s going to go exactly how I said it would go a year ago.

Not great.

It’s, uh… it’s not looking great here, guys.
