Tucker Carlson: “Israeli leaders somehow convince control, threaten whatever…”

“That is in fact, someone who's betrayed you. And that is roughly speaking, or maybe a little more than roughly, that is pretty much exactly what Israel just did to the United States. So Israeli leaders somehow convince control, threaten whatever they did, they overrode the advice of the American President's advisors and intelligence chiefs and convinced him that Iran was on the verge of building a nuclear weapon. despite the fact that that same president told everybody little more than six months before that that threat had been neutralized during the 12 day war back in June, that they were somehow building a nuclear weapon again despite having no nuclear facilities.” (04:17–04:34)
