Tucker Carlson

You have to ask, what is this?

And you have to find out and you have to air it publicly because it has to end.

We cannot be a free and prosperous country until we are a sovereign country.

What does that mean?

Our leaders elected by us have to be able to make decisions in our interests.

Not to the exclusion of everyone else.

You don't have to end other people's civilizations in order for your own country to prosper.

It doesn't work that way.

But you have to put your people's best interests first, or it's not a legitimate system.

And if there's another country and an arrangement with another country that's preventing you from doing that, you have to fix it.

And then there are also moral questions.

If that partner, your closest ally, the only democracy in the Middle East, is killing kids in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Iran, and doing so without apology...

If it's committing war crimes every single day for years with your money and your weapons, at some point you're implicated in those crimes and you have to stop that too.

It's all bad.

There's no upside.

Where's the upside?

And so the United States has to, and hopefully the first thing we do when and if this war is resolved, is detach from Israel.

Not declare war on Israel or treat Israel as an enemy.

They may treat us as an enemy, as they have before.

when they tried to sink the USS Liberty, an American naval vessel, a surveillance vessel, they treated us as an enemy.
