Is the MAGA mouthpiece coalition really disintegrating after the Iran war escalation?
If there's any upside to this disaster, and I say that knowing that the global economy is in trouble, tens of thousands of people are dying, the school girls, I know that. But it is that the MAGA mouthpiece coalition is disintegrating, and I don't think they'll ever recover. Whether that trickles down to the average everyday Trump supporter, I don't know. I don't know because polls are showing support still. But even folks like Tucker Carlson, who was the MAGAist of MAGA and carried water for Donald Trump during the election, his first presidency and during the election, he is saying, I don't even know what to believe from this man. Because he believes he's taken America into a war that is Israel's war.
And he's saying, I don't know what to believe. Donald Trump and Pete Hexeth are saying, we're doing this, we're obliterating that. And he doesn't believe that that's the truth. Tucker Carlson, of all people, here he is. What is the damage right now to Israel and to U.S. bases in the Gulf, do you think?
Well, the bases in the Gulf, you know, I wish I had kept the window open that I was reading, but basically at least three of the bases have been devastated. The Fifth Fleet headquarters, I am told, and if you look at the satellite imagery that you can find on Open source information. It looks like actually the base in Bahrain looks like Gaza. It's completely moonscape So the the American Fifth Fleet now, I don't believe I don't know if there's any because I think we might have evacuated that base Before this started so I don't I don't want to say there's casualties I don't know but just looking at those satellite images that it looks like that's been flattened. And that's a very expensive base that you and I paid for.
And that was the sort of the hub for the US Navy in the Middle East for many years. And it has been completely taken offline. And I have serious doubt. I was talking also to a Middle East expert not long ago. And he was saying that with these bases being obliterated, basically, to use a term, Essentially, he doesn't think because he thinks the Arabs are going to be so irate with us for having kicked over this hornet's nest because it is not going to end anytime soon. His belief is that once the war does end or settles down enough for us to say, hey, we're good, we're done, the Arabs are going to say you're not building back in our countries anymore.
and that is the problem the problem is what happens after this as he put hornet's nest but what did you stir up and what are the consequences of that of stirring that up and look let's the straight of our moves close there are it's it's a domino effect we will not be able to get out of this quick fast and in a hurry like donald trump thinks and even if he says we won and we're getting out they're still going to be fighting and it's still going to affect us and they're going to want revenge And if we send these troops on the ground, as we are, and if they actually get there and start fighting, then it's going to get even worse, and we're going to be in it for a longer period of time. Tim Dillon, again, another MAGA mouthpiece, or was a MAGA mouthpiece, is now seeing the light, and he is saying the same thing.
It's a disaster, and it's an endless religious war. Watch.
The people that are pushing this war, whether they know it or not, have done more to diminish America's standing in the world than anyone I have ever seen in my life.
Why is Tucker Carlson publicly questioning Trump's Iran strategy?
We're in a terribly difficult position right now and in a very public way. This is how they spin out where you have people without any justification running around talking about how well we're doing, gaslighting the public, Our government's completely dysfunctional, and everybody knows it. Iran's bad. You know what they do to women? Yeah, I hate it. How's this going to help? You're going to get a more hardline guy now. You're going to get a more hardline guy, or you're going to get a nuclear exchange, or you're going to get Israel, the U.S. Somebody's going to use Israel, maybe, I don't know, use...
