BRANDON WEICHERT (GUEST): And in the meanwhile, the Iranians are still combat effective. And the longer this lasts, the the longer that strait is closed down, the more the oil is disrupted. And, basically, the more we get to these really nightmare scenarios. In my book, I said a war over Iran will likely trigger a world war three. Now that book came out in 2022. I remain convinced that we are at the the opening salvo of a true world war, and it's happening because of our actions and the actions of our partner, Israel.
TUCKER CARLSON: I would say even more precisely, it's happening because of Benjamin Netanyahu and the hammerlock he has over the American government. Including Mossad officers at CIA headquarters and IDF officers at the Pentagon.

WEICHERT: So, you know, this is, you know, our, our country is, is, is unfortunately not being run entirely by the United States and the American people.
CARLSON: No. It doesn't — you don't see a lot of sovereignty.
WEICHERT: I'll get emails for that one, I'm sure.
CARLSON: Well, it's true. It's factually true. The secretary of state, god bless him, admitted that two days ago, and said we did this because Israel made us do it. They were going to go anyway.
