Tucker Carlson has publicly stated he will no longer support the Republican Party, citing the Iran war as evidence that the party has put the interests of Israel above those of the United States. He stated directly that the US went to war with Iran, a war he believes has already been lost, due to pressure from Benjamin Netanyahu. Marjorie Taylor Greene followed, posting that she too is finished with what she now calls the America last Republican Party, though both have made clear they are not moving toward the Democrats.
Ben Shapiro aired his own criticism, calling out JD Vance for getting embarrassed by Iran and saying he has never seen a weaker Republican performance. Hawk also plays a clip of Mark Thiessen, a former George W. Bush speechwriter and one of the most consistent Trump boosters at the Washington Post and on Fox News, breaking from his pattern of unconditional praise to call the Iran deal a disaster. Hawk walks through a list of Thiessen's previous columns dating back to March, each one predicting or celebrating Trump's imminent victory in Iran, as context for how significant it is to hear Thiessen criticize the deal at all.
Hawk covers the financial terms of the agreement, including the release of roughly $100 billion in previously frozen Iranian assets that is already underway, on top of a $300 billion reconstruction fund. He also references the deal's language committing the United States to lifting all sanctions on Iran, including on oil sales, and contrasts the entire outcome with what the Obama-era JCPOA accomplished without a war or a closed Strait of Hormuz.
