RIGHT SPEAK: Tucker Carlson to Serve as PR Lackey for the President of Iran, Provide Platform for the Regime; Ted Kept His Cool, While Tucker was a Sucker: When Carlson Breathed Out the Moral Relativism That “all leaders kill people,” Cruz Seized On Him Like a Bulldog: “Donald Trump does not kill people.”

Tucker Carlson to Serve as PR Lackey for the President of Iran, Provide Platform for the Regime:

The government of Iran says and does many things, most of which are either morally repulsive — killing girls for the “sin” of showing their hair, for example — or obvious, ridiculous, outlandish lies. Some of their classic lies include an Iranian-designed, super-advanced stealth fighter plane that was, apparently, made out of plastic; shenanigans over monkeys in space; using video game content as “war footage”; bogus boasts of military victories; and claiming to have “complete control over the skies of Israel”… even as downtown Tehran was being transformed into an open-air fireball.

(Not to mention the ongoing fib about a country that’s swimming in oil needing a nuclear power plant — in the heart of a mountain — for purely “civilian” uses.)

So they’re not exactly sticklers for the truth.

This is why Western news outlets don’t mindlessly regurgitate Iranian government memos: They’re not a credible news source. Sure, the official statements of Iranian leaders will be included in the larger story, but if the journalist failed to provide context for the Iranian claims, then it’s not really news — it’s misleading, one-sided propaganda.

Enter Tucker Carlson.

He’ll be releasing an “exclusive” interview with the president of Iran, and Tucker is letting us know from the get-go that he didn’t bother with anything hard-hitting:

In Tucker’s own words:

The former primetime anchor said he didn’t bother asking Pezeshkian certain questions, such as the state of the nation’s nuclear capabilities after the US bombing, which the Pentagon has said set the program back around two years.

“There’s no chance he’s going to answer that question honestly. I didn’t bother to ask it. The answer, in fact, from an American perspective, even from the CIA’s perspective, is unknowable. So we dispense with those,” he said.

Instead, he said he asked the Iranian president, “What is your goal? Do you seek war with the United States? Do you seek war with Israel?”

Ah, with Ted Cruz, he asks the hardball questions; with the Iranian president, it’s softballs and lollypops. --->READ MORE HERE

Ted Kept His Cool, While Tucker was a Sucker:

When Carlson breathed out the moral relativism that “all leaders kill people,” Cruz seized on him like a bulldog: “Donald Trump does not kill people.”

The war between Israel and Iran lasted twelve days.

Instead of a broad coalition of Arab states trying to push the Jewish state into the sea, one Islamic Republic (read: dictatorship) faced Israel, isolated from all other Muslim nations. Syria wouldn’t help, and Iranian proxies Hezbollah and the Houthis couldn’t since Israel wiped them out already.

Following targeted bombing campaigns, the nuclear Iran that pundits feared is no longer. The Iranian people are rising in the streets, bolder than ever before. Some even celebrated Israeli (and American) strikes on the Ayatollah’s nuclear facilities, watching the explosions from their homes.

However, one self-important commentator was fretting about the United States being dragged into another Middle Eastern conflict if Trump acted against Iran:

Tucker Carlson.

His doom and gloom bordered on hysterical.

Here are some notable (mis)quotes:

The first week of a war with Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans.

Well, a lot of Iranian terrorist generals and plotters died, but no Americans.

But the second week of the war could be even worse.

There was not a second week: twelve days, not fourteen.

But the most outrageous prediction:

A war with Iran would amount to a profound betrayal of his [Trump’s] supporters. It would end his presidency.

Trump is not only still the president, but his decision has also received public support. The Trump campaign has already raised $1.4 billion for Election 2026.

Tucker was wrong. He didn’t concede his error but merely posted, “Thank God.”

Which brings us to his contentious set-up—er, interview—with Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.

On June 18th, 2025, Tucker posted his extensive discussion with the junior US Senator on foreign policy, domestic issues, and the influences of foreign money in Washington, DC.

The discussion veered into a debate—and Tucker should have known better. Cruz is a seasoned debater, having won prestigious awards. He took on Bernie Sanders in hostile territory. He even conducted a cordial discussion with Alyssa Milano on gun control.
