Actually, you could listen to the first 5 minutes, because he jumps into the Epstein issue right away, but if you are like me, it will infuriate you. And I would like to save you time...and grief!
My View of Tucker's Speech (short version)
That wasn't a speech, it was a rant; and an unhinged one at that. He starts with trying to make the case that Israel/Mossad is behind Jeffrey Epstein and he ends with what he is really upset about and the narrative he has been pushing since 10/7/23. And that is, "the war Israel is going to get us into”. I think in Tucker's long-held frustration, which he vented on this platform, he revealed his real fear and anger. "Israel's War".
Before what has become known as "The 12 Day War", Tucker boldly and confidently told us if Trump flew jets into Iran to take out the uranium bunkers there, it was going to get us into WWIII. He told us tens of thousands of our troops would be killed. Well, of course that didn’t happen. And the statement that we would send tens of thousands of our troops, was NEVER going to happen! Because Israel has NEVER asked for them, and President Trump has promised they would never be sent! That was fear-mongering on Tucker’s part. Rabid fear-mongering, in my view.
Then in his speech at TPUSA, Tucker also gets to the point regarding accusations made about him accepting money from Qatar.* He tries to clarify to us what he believes to be the foolishness of that accusation, without naming himself. But it has been reported, there is actually more evidence for him accepting Qatari funds, than there is any evidence Israel was involved with Epstein. Many claim his ties to Qatar have been documented. I haven’t researched that. But I did research the claim that he took 15 million from American Muslim Omeed Malik to start his business.** And that is fact. Malik is a former Democrat supposedly turned libertarian. There are good arguments on both sides as to whether Malik is a dangerous man or not. I think the proof is in the pudding with how Tucker seemingly so drastically changed at the onset of his podcast platform, TCN, after accepting those funds. Coincidental?
As far as Israel's involvement at Epstein Island, I don’t believe it for a minute. I view the accusation as coming from those who hate Israel and/or are being paid by entities such as Qatar...maybe even Iran.
Here are some facts:
1. Naftali Bennett, Former Prime Minister of Israel of the New Right Party wrote a beautiful letter clarifying exactly how Israel has never been involved with Epstein. He is not from the government of Bibi Netanyahu, who is of the Likud Party...comparable to President Trump and the Republican party. So I don’t know why in the world TC and Charlie Kirk, for another, seem to hate Netanyahu so badly. I suspect Carlson's reasons are different than Charlie’s and Charlie has just bought into Carlson’s accusations without fully understanding. I could go off on Charlie, too. I think he has responsibility as a Christian and someone who claims to stand with Israel to call Tucker out on his statements. Instead, he platformed, teaching thousands of young people an anti-Israel narrative. That's dangerous.
2. Much ado has been made of the fact that Tucker invited PM Netanyahu on his show and the Prime Minister has not accepted or even acknowledged the invite. But if you were the conservative PM of the nation Carlson appears to hate would you go?
Carlson has interviewed and given a platform to a number of people that hate Israel to one degree or another: anti-Semites, anti-Zionists (same thing) and/or flat out holocaust deniers. I won't say who I think is in which group, but let me give you a few names: Candace Owens, Glenn Greenwald, Ian Carrol, Alex Jones, Col Doug Macgregor, Munther Isaac, Dave Smith, Tate Brothers, Hodge Twins, Darry Cooper, Doug Wilson... The President of Iran???
Honestly, it seems like he has interviewed every Israel hater that has any kind of profile and influence at all. And yet I can think of only one pro-Israel person Tucker has interviewed and that is Ted Cruz. And actually that felt like a set-up. Cruz was obviously unprepared and probably put to much confidence in his well-acclaimed debate skills. Still he made some important points, that Carlson mocked.
3. Just because it is likely former Prime Minister Ehud Barak (Israel Democrat Party, same as US liberal Democrats) visited Epstein Island does not mean Israel had any ties to Epstein. That would be like saying America is responsible for Epstein Island because Bill Clinton had ties with him and was a number one guest there, and in a blue dress no less. I simply don't believe that America has responsibility for Bill Clinton's own actions. Let's put the blame where it lies...with the person participating. At the very least don't blame America, single out the party leadership!
By the way, the Labor Party is also a liberal party supported by unions in Israel. There are multiple political parties in Israel. If you follow Israeli politics almost everything that happens in Israel is identical to what is happening in America. From Conservative and Liberal parties, to Iran trying to take the lives of both of those great conservative leaders!!
4. Just because Epstein is Jewish does not mean he had ties to Israel. Many American Jews are so liberal they constantly fight against Israel and seem to actually hate that tiny nation. Politicians have pondered this fact for decades, wanting to bring them to the conservative side.
5. There is actually proof that during the Obama years, Epstein money, along with tax payer dollars was funneled into NGO’s in Israel with the goal to overthrow Bibi Netanyahu and replace him with Ehud Barak. But that does NOT implicate Israel or Mossad. This was done in order to enable the JCPOA (Iran Nuclear Deal) to go through, which it did. That points to crooked regimes within a nation and the nation, itself should NOT be blamed. That makes me wonder even more why Tucker Carlson and Charlie Kirk hate Netanyahu! Trump ended the JCPOA in his first administration with profuse thanks from Bibi Netanyahu. They are NOT the bad guys!!! Yet, both Carlson and Kirk have spoke out against Netanyahu and Likud. (The conservatives! SMH)
6. Contrary to Carlson's claim, everyone in Washington doesn't believe what Tucker believes, and sides with him – no matter how many times he says it, or how passionately it is stated. That's just more hyperbole from him. There are plenty of amazing Israel supporters in Congress. In the Senate: Markwayne Mullin, Tom Cotton, Elise Stefanik, Ted Cruz... and in the House: Brian Mast is amazing! Just to name a few. And in Trump's Cabinet: Kristi Noem, Mike Huckabee, Lee Zeldin, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio are amazingly supportive and knowledgeable. I could probably go on with more.
The left and the neo-Nazi right, (yes, that is the name I decided to call some of them. Sorry, not sorry.) love to claim AIPAC is buying our members. This is a huge laugh when one considers AIPAC accounts for about 1% of PAC dollars, while Muslim PACs are up to roughly 5%. And yet this claim rages! Looking for those charts and stats, as I have seen them, but man our search engines and social media like to bury that stuff. I will include them when I find them again.
By the way, despite many claims throughout social media, there are NO dual citizenship member in Congress. None, zero, nada, zip. And yet that rumor is repeated over and over and over. That is not to say there aren't America haters there...Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib come to mind...in my view.
But let's get back to the innocence of Israel, Obama's JCPOA, and where the blame seems to lie. There is information that points to the fact that the Clinton's and their network stood to gain both financially and geopolitically from the JCPOA . That doesn’t mean Israel or America was involved. Crooked people were! And that does not implicate Israel; but rather, Iran is the one that benefited from the JCPOA...just sayin’!
So why is Tucker blaming Israel? Probably because he is too busy giving softball interviews to Vladimir Putin who has it out for Israel (and that attack will come to fruition one day – not necessarily under Putin. But that’s Biblical prophecy!) Tucker has also been busy interviewing Revisionist historian, Darryl Cooper (MartyrMade) who thinks Churchill was the bad guy! And then interviewing the President of Iran allowing him to speak the entire time without question or rebuttal. Interestingly, the Iranian President used ALL the talking points Tucker has been dishing out to us the last few years. It was as if Tucker wrote the script!
Why isn’t Carlson blaming Iran instead of Israel? The evidence is there in regard to who is really to blame. Think about it. If I know this stuff, TC most certainly knows it. But I am not getting paid any money. ;-) He has some of the premise correct...like how far this goes back, etc. But why he turns it all on Israel, is just mind boggling. He misses pointing out the real villains – probably Iran and Obama...and mostly, Jeffrey Epstein. It's almost like he is giving that evil man an excuse!
I don't care how many times one claims they love Israel. If Israel is always their primary target in their narratives, all without facts or proof, they do NOT love Israel. That's Tucker's MO. e.g. Paraphrase - "Oh I love Israel, I had an amazing time there, but...."
He's a coward. He should just say he hates Israel. That aligns more closely with his actions.
Carlson is constantly whining that people are shaming him/us and trying to silence anyone from criticizing Israel. He says people like me and/or Zionists believe no one has the right to criticize the Israeli government. That is patently false and he knows it! Israel has a left and right government just like ours, only with a few more parties. Of course we criticize the government! He creates a false narrative to try to turn us against Israel. But why in the world he criticizes the conservative wing of the government, I will NEVER understand...unless that's really his choice of administration. Think about it; he apparently wants Israel to fail. He mocks the fact that Iran is the greatest funder of terrorism in the Middle East. Uh...maybe he should do a bit of research on the 7 front war, Israel is enduring. All financed by Iran. Actually 8...his group being the 8th enemy, IMO. All of those 7 fronts are financed by Iran? hmmm...Number 8? 🤔
Further, he is conflating issues when he brings up the drug epidemic in America. Yes, that's a problem. But Trump is helping fix it by closing the border. But kids dying from drug overdoses, doesn't negate the fact that we have a problem with Iran. Good grief! How stupid does he think we are. If he thinks that's an effective argument, he is the stupid one. It's conflating issues!
And then, as is his norm, Tucker always seems to be able to bring God into his speech...in this case his rant. Sorry. I don't buy Tucker's claim of faith. I don't for one minute think it is real. That is not judging. That is not contrary to the statement that "only God knows his heart." That is an observation and a view of discernment. "By their fruits, you will know them." I see no evidence of God in Tucker's life, other than he likes to use His name when he needs it. His actions reveal something entirely different.
And then finally, at the end of this segment that I have highlighted, when Tucker mentions someone taking money from an evil nation, someone yells out "Qatar". And what does he do? He laughs his wicked laugh and mocks the comment. But that isn't funny. It is a well known fact that Qatar is invading our colleges and other organizations and even government entities with their money. Yet, Carlson laughs. Methinks he protests too much.
We should trust Trump. That’s why we elected him. He knows when, where and what if any files should be released. Without all the information that Trump has we certainly don’t know; and Tucker Carlson certainly doesn’t know either! He has become an unhinged lunatic, in my view. Or just “Kooky Carlson", if you prefer.
If you want to research some of this further, Insurrection Barbie @defiyantlyfree on X, has an amazing thread today. She has spent hours and days researching...not using AI. She is a Christian, 100% pro-Trump, pro-Israel and pro-America...and she is not a Carlson supporter! Kinda like me, ;-) only she is way smarter!! She doesn’t buy into anything without researching. I have often wondered who she is, because her knowledge and wisdom are absolutely astounding on every issue. I am not saying she is infallible, but I will trust her, until I hear a little noisy buzzer going off in my head screaming FALSE. So far what she says rings true.
I also recommend watching this interview and reading her comment.
From Insurrection Barbie regarding Alan Dershowitz's view:
"This is totally accurate:
“I will say this on Epstein. If you want to go dedicate 40 hours of your life researching, you will walk away understanding that no one is covering up for child r*pists. Furthermore the age of the girls involved had always been 15 and up.
Rich influential men did depraved things and got a pass because they had money and power and status.” [Bold emphasis, mine]
That short video clip is very informational. I believe most of it. I am not sure, I believe the suicide part. I do want to believe Dan Bongino, and this video is very convincing. 8min 43secs long. This is what I believe. And I am sorry it is coming from Democrats. But most conservative Christians believe this too. That ain't Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens! I do not believe the conspiracy theories Tucker and others want us to believe. I don’t believe Epstein was a CIA operative or a pawn of Mossad. I believe it was evil men from various places. To say it was America or Israel or DJT is disgusting and dangerous. And it’s dividing our party! Maybe that is what Tucker wants. To me, he seems obsessed with destroying us and Israel...all while professing his love.

*Tucker is denying receiving any money from Qatar. But I believe Mark Levin has done the research. He doesn’t call him “Chatsworth (Rush’s nickname) Qatarlson” for nothing.
** Tucker did pay back Omeed Malik the 15 million in June of 2025.
