In this wide-ranging interview, Tucker Carlson speaks with journalist Max Blumenthal about Iran, Israel, and the expanding American role in the Middle East. Blumenthal discusses his recent trip to Iran and his detention after returning to the United States. Much of the conversation examines Benjamin Netanyahu's influence on U.S. policy toward Iran and the growing disagreement within the American right over continued military and political support for Israel. Carlson approaches the issue from an America First, noninterventionist perspective, while Blumenthal comes from a very different political tradition. Their unexpected convergence illustrates an important shift in American politics: criticism of U.S. involvement in Israel's wars is increasingly coming from both the antiwar left and the populist right.
