On Monday in Washington, D.C., Tucker Carlson sat down with Steve Bannon for an unfiltered, high-voltage conversation that tore into U.S. foreign policy, media complicity, and the personal cost of refusing to toe the line. Carlson didn’t come to play safe—he came to say what few dare to say: America’s being dragged into another Middle East disaster, and the media is once again leading the charge.
For anyone trying to make sense of the noise, this wasn’t just another interview. It was a gut check.
Carlson, back in the capital for interviews, didn’t hide his exhaustion with the endless push toward foreign entanglements. “I don’t want anything to do with it,” he said, referring to rising tensions with Iran. His concerns? Not Tehran, but small-town Americans taking out loans for groceries, the fentanyl epidemic, and collapsing life expectancy. “I just want to talk about keeping the dollar stores open in rural America,” he said—half-sarcastic, fully serious.
