Tucker Carlson is one of the most attention-grabbing figures in American politics. Millions listen to him every week, and his punditry has influenced Donald Trump’s presidency. Now, though, he’s become MAGA’s most prominent dissident. Carlson broke with the White House over the war in Iran, claiming that the conflict will prove catastrophic for the president’s movement—and for America. President Trump said that his onetime ally has lost his way. In March 2026 Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, sat down with Tucker Carlson near his Florida home to ask about the fallout from the Iran war, whether MAGA can survive it, if he’s a Zionist, whether the American government was right to have offered support to Ukraine and whether America will defend Taiwan. #Trump #Israel #Iran #MAGA #tuckercarlson 00:20 Tucker Carlson on his criticism of the Iran war 05:35 Israel’s influence on America’s involvement in the Iran war 13:40 Did Netanyhu persuade Trump to join the war? 22:
