EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis). This is a long interview but it is an absolutely MUST WATCH for all those truth seekers who have been reading Helleniscope. This is how Scott Horton closes the interview with Tucker Carlson: “The pursuit of global American hegemony—this endless obsession with shaping the world through force—isn’t just unsustainable… it’s unconstitutional. It stands in direct opposition to the Bill of Rights, to the very soul of this republic.” And he added: “It’s not just that we’ve overreached. It’s that we’ve betrayed our founding documents. Every war of choice abroad becomes a pretext for eroding liberty at home. And now? We’re watching the American project—this miraculous experiment in self-government—begin to unravel under the weight of its own imperial ambition.”
In this wide-ranging interview, Tucker Carlson and Scott Horton examine the deep historical roots of the current U.S./Israeli conflict with Iran, emphasizing how mainstream media fails to provide essential context. Horton traces American entanglement in the region back to the Jimmy Carter Doctrine and the Iran–Iraq War, highlighting how misinformation about WMDs and terrorism in the 1990s and critical foreign policy decisions under Bill Clinton laid the groundwork for today’s tensions. The conversation explores the impact of CIA coups, the rise of neoconservative ideology, and how decades of interventionist strategies have backfired. Tucker praises Horton’s rare honesty in acknowledging past mistakes, as Horton warns that the pursuit of global dominance is undermining the very foundations of the American republic.
