Dear Tucker Carlson: “Death to America” Doesn’t Have Another Side

When “Hearing Both Sides” is Laundering Terror, Tyranny and America Last

Tucker Carlson has just announced his latest interview—this time with the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. If his recent sit-down with Qatar’s Prime Minister is any indication, don’t expect hard questions about the thousands tortured, hanged, raped, or butchered by the regime. Don’t expect mention of the morality police, the murdered protesters, the jailed journalists, or the terror exported across half the globe. Expect instead softballs and sympathy, all under the worn-out pretense of “hearing the other side.”

Carlson’s interview with the Qatari PM, it turns out, wasn’t just a puff piece. According to FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) filings, it was part of a paid, coordinated PR campaign to rehabilitate Qatar’s image in the West. The entire sit-down was Qatari state propaganda, masquerading as journalism—a slick rebranding of a regime that funds Hamas, hosts the Taliban, and suppresses free speech within its own borders.

The interview announced just days after the Iranian regime issued a new fatwa calling for the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump. These aren’t symbolic gestures. Ask Salman Rushdie, who was stabbed on stage nearly 30 years after a fatwa was declared against him. These are not political statements. They are theological death warrants with no expiration date—waiting for a devout believer to carry them out.

Iranian officials chant Death to America and Death to Israel in Friday sermons broadcast nationwide. They openly refer to the U.S. as “the Great Satan.” They call for the destruction of Western civilization and the global spread of Islamic rule. Their proxies—Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas—carry that mission out in blood. Thousands of Americans have died at the hands of Iran and its network of armed proxies—from the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut to the killing of U.S. soldiers in Iraq by Iranian-supplied IEDs. Americans have been kidnapped, tortured, and murdered—all while Tehran denies involvement and smiles for the camera.

What part of this is America First? It's not contrarian truth-telling. It’s betrayal. It’s the normalization of enemies who would burn the Constitution, not quote it. The Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is very clear: "Death to America is not just a slogan. It is a policy."

Still, we are told to listen.

But to what, exactly?

What part of that message has been unclear? What “other side” haven’t we heard?

And yet, people like Candace Owens amplify it, all under the excuse of, “We need to hear both sides.”

Cadence claims to be concerned for Christians—will she ask Tucker to press the Regime about the Christians imprisoned, tortured, and executed in Iran since the Islamic Revolution? No outrage for the house church pastors rotting in Evin Prison, for Christian converts beaten by the Basij, for the countless Iranian Christians forced to worship in secret? She says she speaks for persecuted Christians, but she’s silent on those who are actually persecuted worldwide. Instead, she uses her platform to spread conspiracies and fuel antisemitic tropes under the guise of defending “American and Christian values” and “just asking questions.”

This isn’t journalism. It’s the laundering of extremism through faux “objectivity.” And it’s part of a broader cultural rot where some influencers try to sell their audiences provocation for truth—and revisionism for insight.

Take Darryl Cooper, for example. A pseudo-historian and Holocaust denier now being embraced by sections of the online right. Cooper claims we never got the full truth about Hitler, the Nazis, or World War II. That the Allies manipulated the narrative. That maybe—just maybe—Hitler wasn’t the real aggressor.

While advertising Tucker’s interview, he claimed again that we must hear both sides. Using WWII historical revisionism to try and prove his point. He claims that in the early stages of WWII, Hitler refused to retaliate against British bombings of German civilians and instead dropped “peace leaflets” over British cities. He argues that Churchill’s government suppressed those flyers and began bombing civilians first—casting the Nazis as “restrained” participants, provoked into escalation.

But lets the set the record straight:

• Hitler started the bombing of civilians—unprovoked: In September 1939, before Britain dropped a single bomb on Germany, the Luftwaffe launched terror bombings on Poland, killing thousands of civilians in Warsaw and other cities. These were not military strikes—they were aimed at psychological destruction and mass terror.

• The Luftwaffe continued bombing civilians during the “Phoney War”: After invading Poland, Germany bombed French cities like Dunkirk and Lille and launched deadly air raids during the April 1940 invasion of Norway—all before the RAF targeted Germany directly.

• Civilian bombings against Britain began before the May 1940 bombing:

  • October 16, 1939: The first German air raid on British soil occurred when Luftwaffe bombers attacked ships in the Firth of Forth (Scotland). While this was a naval target, it marked the beginning of Germany’s air attacks on Britain.

  • March 1940: German planes dropped bombs on Scapa Flow and Orkney Islands, again hitting military/naval infrastructure but also affecting civilians.

  • On April 1940, a German air raid over Rosyth killed civilians—among the first British non-combatants to die from bombing.

• RAF bombings in May 1940 were military, not civilian: The RAF struck airfields, rail lines, and troop columns as Germany invaded France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Civilian centers were not deliberate targets.

• The bombing campaign Cooper blames on Churchill predates him: These RAF missions were planned under Neville Chamberlain, before Churchill even took office. The same Chamberlain who had returned from Munich waving a worthless peace agreement with Hitler and declaring “peace of our time.”

• Hitler’s “peace leaflets” were propaganda—not peace: Yes, the Nazis dropped leaflets—but they were wartime psy-ops, like those used by all sides. Hitler wasn’t offering peace. He was buying time.

• What did Hitler do with that time? In June 1941, less than a year later, Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa—the largest land invasion in history—against the Soviet Union. It opened the deadliest front of the war, killing tens of millions.

Deals with Predators Always End in War

To Darryl: None of this is hidden history. Your narrative is historical fiction. And it’s not just a fringe misunderstanding—it’s the kind of revisionism embraced in online spaces you spend time getting your “facts from,” spaces openly dedicated to spreading Nazi propaganda, such as JQRadio—a 24/7 stream on X where the only topic is “The Jewish Question.”

The only thing being rewritten is the truth—by people like Cooper, who twist historical facts to cast villains as victims. This is not nuance. This is not intellectual debate. It’s moral collapse, it is propaganda.

We’re watching the same playbook also in real time. Whether it’s Iran, Qatar, Hamas, Hezbollah, or neo-fascist revisionists, the tactic is the same: claim to be misunderstood, demand a platform, and rely on ignorant or gullible Westerners to “hear the other side.” It’s propaganda. The last one from Tucker was all bought and paid for by Qatar.

The problem isn’t that we’re not hearing the other side. It’s that we’re giving it a stage—and a spotlight. That isn’t journalism. It isn’t balanced. It’s propaganda masquerading as open debate.

And it sure as hell isn’t America First.
