President Donald Trump spent part of his Monday trolling Tucker Carlson after the former Fox News host questioned the president’s handling of Iran and conflict in the Middle East. Last week in a newsletter, Carlson accused Trump of being “complicit” in Israel’s strikes against Iran that sparked the current days-long exchange between the two Middle Eastern powers. The newsletter arrived in the inboxes of Carlson’s readers under the headline: “This Could Be the Final Newsletter Before All-Out War.” “Earlier this week, unnamed Washington sources expressed concern over Israel’s ability to fend off Iran’s retaliation, which would inevitably lead to Benjamin Netanyahu ordering the American military to step in and fight on his country’s behalf,” Carlson wrote. “On Thursday, Iran’s president threatened to ‘destroy’ any country that eliminates his government’s nuclear facilities. Now, the world will learn what that looks like.” Trump responded to Carlson’s criticisms while attending the Group of Seven Summit in Canada. “Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!’” Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday evening. Earlier in the day, Trump dismissed a question from a reporter on Carlson’s concerns. “I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen,” said Trump, appearing to jab at Carlson over his exit from Fox News. Carlson now runs his own media business, the Tucker Carlson Network, and hosts a popular interview podcast. Trump’s support for Israel and his Middle East policy appears to have alienated Carlson, as well as other isolationist-minded supporters. The comic Dave Smith recently called for Trump’s impeachment over the president’s handling of Iran. “I supported him this last year. I apologize for doing so. It was a bad calculation. At the time, it seemed like the right one, but he should be impeached and removed for this one,” Smith said on a recent episode of “Breaking Points.” “All of his supporters should turn on him. It’s the absolute betrayal of everything that he ran and campaigned on and everything that he stood for.”

War of Words Between President Trump and 'Kooky Tucker Carlson' Heating Up

Toning down the rhetoric sounds like the right idea after political violence. But nobody thinks liberal journalists like CBS Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan or the ranting ladies of The View are the role models for civility referees. They have a blatant double standard on who gets to savage and smear their opponents.  Scowling Brennan fussed at Sen. Tom Cotton over an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal where he warned of “the threat from the radical left,” and suggested that’s inappropriate and inflaming “tensions.” This is what he wrote:  The threat from the radical left is clear: Don’t enforce immigration laws. If you do, left-wing street militias will burn down cities, and Democratic politicians will back the rioters. That was true in 2020, and it's still true today. Meanwhile, Democrat journalists and politicians routinely denounce Trump as a Hitlerian authoritarian, and that’s not inflaming “tensions.” Over the weekend, journalists didn’t want to apply any ideological labels for the protesters, many of whom despise Trump and the notion of enforcing the immigration laws. They carried signs with messages like “F--- ICE,  F--- FASCISM,” but reporters weren’t going to ask those people about their hot rhetoric. MSNBC nodded along as protesters talked about "terrifying" anti-trans hate, the "racist, fascist, reactionary" policies of Trump, and how that parallels the rise of Hitler. One protester told Jacob Soboroff was a "f---ing felon." CNN put on a leftist named Justin Hubbard to call for ending ICE raids: "Today was to stand up against authoritarianism, against, honestly, the fascist policies that we see the Trump administration doing." One reason the media lack credibility with most Americans is they display a double standard on almost everything, including the notion that we should tone down the rhetoric, and then they believe they role is to “check facts.” Meanwhile, they accept everyone comparing the elected president to the Nazis. They don’t sound like serious people. Enjoy the podcast below, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
