This video argues that American foreign policy has been captured by the donor class and defense contractors, with the 'America First' slogan serving as a marketing tool while 'Donors First' represents the actual policy. The speaker exposes how lobbying efforts, such as AIPAC's $28 million in congressional campaigns, and defense contractors like Lockheed Martin ($60 billion revenue) and RTX ($40 billion revenue) drive military spending and foreign policy decisions, while legacy media polices vocabulary to prevent questioning of these systems.

Tucker Carlson Goes OFF Script: Exposes The "America First" Lie本站添加:
Do you think Donald Trump has betrayed America first?
I think that this war is something that he promised he wouldn't do, not once, but countless times. The question is whether the person who makes the ultimate decision, which would be President Trump, should have pushed back. That's it. Of course Of course Bush Trump should have pushed back. George W Bush didn't push back. We wound up in the Iraq war and now everyone pretends, "Oh, that was that had nothing to do with Israel." I was there. I was talking to Bush.
We have both been critical of the Israeli government. I've really been critical of the Israeli government.
>> I've been plenty critical of the Israeli government. I've told you at the beginning that we were against this war.
>> What do I think of Gaza? Yeah. I think it is a disaster. A disaster for the future of Israel, a disaster for the Palestinian people, a horror. 70,000 people dead.
>> Why would you describe it first as a disaster for the future of Israel? The America First mask just slipped on live television and the establishment media is absolutely terrified of what is underneath it. Watch Tucker Carlson look the editor of The Economist dead in the eye and completely dismantle the lie that your tax dollars are being spent to protect you rather than pad the pockets of foreign lobbyists and defense contractors. When Zanny Minton Beddoes tries to deploy the ultimate media trap to force Tucker into a neat little box, he flips the script exposing the fact that the legacy media isn't here to report the news. They are here to police your vocabulary so you never ask the right questions. I am Silas Miller. This is The Silas Wire where we rip the script and expose the motive. If you are done being manipulated by a donor class that sends your money overseas while you struggle to pay rent, I've tagged the reading material and off-grid gear I use to stay independent of their systems.
Let's look at the footage they wish they could delete. In your copious podcasting about this in the last 2 weeks, you have made the argument very strongly that the United States has been pushed into something not in its own national interest by pressure from Israel and the lobbying power of Israel. Well, it has been. The question is whether the person who makes the ultimate decision, who would be President Trump, should have pushed back. That's it. Of course Of course Trump should have pushed back. As previous presidents have done.
To some extent, some very limited extent, George W. Bush didn't push back.
We wound up in the Iraq war, and now everyone pretends, "Oh, that was That had nothing to do with Israel." I was there. I was talking to Bush. That's not true. That's a lie. And that's why it's so important, from my perspective, to say out loud what is true before history is rewritten and disappears.
>> And it's lying that gets us here.
Because we say, "Oh, no, no, no.
Lobbying efforts had no effect." Really?
We see that with our pharmaceutical policy. No. Everybody understands that every policy a large government makes, including ours, is influenced by various stakeholders who are affected by the policy. But this is the one area where we have to be like, "No, it had It had nothing to do with the fact that his biggest donors were pushing him to do this." Or that Bibi visited seven times in 1 year. Are you joking? I'm not going to play along with the lies anymore. I don't hate Jews. I don't hate Israel.
I love my country. This has happened yet again. I can give you a whole list of previous times where it's happened. And I think we need to know what happened so we don't hurt ourselves further.
>> I am not saying don't blame Israel. I think Israel has its own national interest, and Israel was certainly pushing for things, but I think there is more agency, and therefore more responsibility, with the president of the United States and the Trump administration. He represents me. I live here. That's But that's important, because in the way you described it there pushed him into this. Now, he shouldn't have gone along with it. He should have pushed back. But, to pretend that Trump woke up one morning and was like, "Well, I think we're going >> that, to be clear. I'm not >> pushed him the prime minister and by the way, it's not even just it's not Israel.
There are a lot of people who disagree in Israel. I know some of them. It was the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, who pushed our president into doing this. And I hope this is the last time that Netanyahu or any foreign head of state will ever push an American president to do something that hurts America. Well, let's talk about that because I think we may be, as you yourself said earlier, at a tipping point in terms of the rapid decline within the United States for support for Israel. And you see it you see it hugely I mean, you've seen it for several years on the Democratic side, you're now seeing it on the conservative side, and you're seeing a collapse amongst younger people. I'm not telling you anything you don't know. How is that How quickly is that going to change the politics of Israel in the United States?
I mean, it's hard to know. There doesn't seem to be a direct connection, not just on Israel or foreign policy, but on almost any issue between what our leaders believe and do and what the public thinks and wants. The public begins to believe in their frustration at their declining standard of living, for example, or declining birth rates or whatever it is that's getting worse, and a lot is, that there's no way to use legitimate means to change it. Voting doesn't work.
If they believe that, then they will, by definition, find other ways. And those ways are destructive, and I don't want that. So, I think it's very important that a government, even a non-democracy, even a monarchy, respond to the concerns of the population. You can ignore them for a while. If you ignore them for too long, you get overthrown. Let's Let's talk though a little bit more about how this declining support for Israel, which I think is one of the most significant political shifts in the United States in recent years.
How is that shaping the MAGA movement? I mean, are you now seeing it I mean, when I look at the opinion polls, I'm told that there's 100% support amongst Maga or 95% support for the war.
Uh on the other hand, you're clearly a man with a large number of followers who is making a very, very different argument.
I was standing next to Trump but as I was running got elected.
I've known him a long time. I talked to him a lot. So, you know, I I don't you know, I don't fully understand what Maga is, but I know that the core promise of the Trump political movement, Make America Great Again, was America First. And it was articulated by him repeatedly at every campaign stop for 10 years.
So, everyone in America knows this. I think everyone globally knows this. The core of this movement was the idea that you would and we could debate about how you do it, but you would try to put the interest of your country at the center of every calculation about how you manage your country and how you interact with the world. It's not It's the single most obvious and single most popular political concept ever devised.
Do you think Donald Trump has betrayed America First?
I think that this war is something that he promised he wouldn't do. Not once, but countless times. And until YouTube is banned, we'll be able to prove that.
And the idea behind it um is not only contrary to America First.
Um it may be its inverse.
There's no argument that uh changing the regime in Iran helps the United States. And if there is an argument, I'd love to hear it. And by the way, if that argument is sensible and convincing, I will support it.
All I care about is the United States.
So, but I haven't heard that argument a single time. All I've heard is the kind of tiresome fear-mongering about nuclear weapons, which Iran did not have. It's uh it's insulting, actually, even to make that argument to me.
That Iran's nuclear program posed such a threat to the United States 3 weeks ago that we had to launch a full-scale war against them. That's there's No one's even arguing that because it's stupid.
And the facts don't support it.
So, why did we do this when we did it?
Because Israel wanted to do it. And they chose the timing here. No one disputes that. And timing in war, as in life, is a lot of it. And it determines outcome.
And it's They hadn't thought through what was going to happen next. The Israelis hadn't, and we hadn't, because we didn't have time to.
It sounds to me like you think he has betrayed it.
This war is clearly contrary to what he promised and contrary to the idea of that your leaders should put your interests before those of foreigners, period. We put Israel's interests before ours.
Trump did that.
Bibi's not in con- wasn't elected president of my country. My president was. I supported him. Obviously, voted for him.
But, um, yeah.
Let's talk about the the way the debate develops in this country, because I think you're right. There is It's extremely difficult to talk about subject that you and I've to spend the last half hour talking about, because >> Why is that the case?
>> a con- because there is a conflation, very often, criticizes Israel is vulnerable to being called anti-Zionist or anti-Semitic. And that's conflation.
But But the exact people you've just been talking about, by the in the in the kind of firmament of political discussion.
So, let me ask >> or a tactic?
I I'm about to ask you that question.
Clearly, I think you and I agree we have both been critical of the Israeli government.
I just want to kind of clarify terms a bit here.
>> Well, I've really been critical of the Israeli government.
>> I've been plenty critical of the Israeli government. I've told you at the beginning that we were against this war.
>> Gaza?
What do I think of Gaza?
>> Yeah.
>> the war in Gaza, to start with, was a perfectly reasonable response in response to the horrors of October 7th.
I think now the places I mean, I've been there. Have you been to Gaza? I've been to Gaza since since the war started.
>> They would not let journalists Trust me, very few journalists get into Gaza.
>> Yeah, no, I I went with the IDF. It's the only way that you can go in. But nonetheless, you go in and you see a flattened place. I think it is a disaster, a disaster for the future of Israel, a disaster for the Palestinian people, a horror, 70,000 people dead.
>> you describe it first as a disaster for the future of Israel?
I I think it's a very >> of thousands of civilians murdered, but it's foremost a disaster for the future of Israel. No, it's foremost a disaster for the families of the dead kids.
>> absolutely I made three points. Now, let me just let me just finish.
>> sucks up to Israel in this way that suggests they're afraid. And everyone is afraid, and you know that. Everyone's like, "The real problem is calling people anti-Semites allows real anti-Semites to flourish."
It's like, "No, actually the real problem with calling people anti-Semites who aren't is accusing the innocent of a crime they didn't commit." And the real crime in Gaza is killing people who did nothing wrong. So, those are the real problems, I would say. But no one can say it cuz you have to be like, "Oh no, but really October 7th was the problem."
>> about, cuz we're [laughter] having we're having a Everyone watching this knows what I'm talking about. Well, let's get on to that right now. Because you are critical of the government of Israel.
Do you believe in the Israel's right to exist? Would you consider yourself a Zionist in that narrow definition?
>> that mean, a right to exist? The existence of the political state of Israel as it exists today.
>> what does that mean? That you don't you think it should continue in its existence as a state right now. So, you you are the you do not agree with Iran, for example.
>> Well, let me just ask since you asked me the question, it's fair for me to get you to define the terms so I can answer it.
You've asked two questions. The first was, do you believe Israel has a right to exist? And the second question was, do you believe Israel should continue to go on as a nation-state?
And those are very different questions.
So, I often hear the phrase >> created as a political entity in 1948, does it have a state?
>> exist? Is that what you're asking?
We I don't want to get hung up on the right to exist. Should it Should it Should it continue to exist? That's what That's how I define narrowly Zionism.
>> because the phrase you used was devised by the Israeli government.
Of course, does it have a right to exist. And so my question to you would be what does that mean?
>> my question? It's a very simple question.
>> your question is. Are you asking does it have a right to exist or do I want it to exist? Do I seek its destruction? Fine, answer it that way. Well, of course I don't seek its destruction. I've already said, as you know, cuz I said it to you, I don't want Israel to be destroyed or have to use nuclear weapons.
>> we've established that you are in that narrow terms a Zionist. I'm in no sense a Zionist. I don't want any country to be destroyed and I at all and I don't want people to die, particularly ones who committed no crime cuz I don't believe in killing innocents, period.
That's the basis of Western civilization.
Eastern civilization has a whole different view. They believe in collective punishment. I don't.
>> So you're in no sense a Zionist. I don't even know what that means. Why don't you ask define the the term and then I'll tell you whether I am. What's a Zionist?
>> a Zionist in my narrow term, this definition is that the state of Israel, the political state of Israel, has the right to continue existing. The right?
Where does that right come from? What What do you mean? These are like I'm not being a lawyer about it. I just want to know what you're asking me.
>> answer the question. It's a Because I don't know what you're asking me. Let's go to the the second question.
>> I think it's a lot of I You don't want to define your question and I don't know why.
I don't know what you're asking me. I've already said I don't want Israel to be destroyed. I don't want anyone to be killed and you've said does Israel have a right to exist? Does it have a And I My question is what right are you talking about? Does Britain have a right to exist? Does the United States have a right to exist?
That there there was a world order built up after 1945 which suggested that aggression should not be condoned into countries. That the countries with borders have the right to exist.
>> agree with that. Okay.
>> If that's which is why the first thing that Israel did within two weeks of this war starting, which is supposedly existential for them, was take southern Lebanon, take someone else's country as they have done repeatedly. And no one even mentions that. And so I I I would be opposed to that because I guess I think Lebanon has a right to exist. I thought Gaza had a right to exist. But I noticed that as soon as we started portioning rights, only one country gets to >> No, I did not say that. You're You're absolutely putting words in my mouth.
>> here's what I do believe, since you asked. I believe in universally applicable standards. Zanny Minton Beddoes walked into that room thinking she had the ultimate trap set. But she walked into a complete demolition. She was desperate to make this interview about the right to exist because she is absolutely terrified of the conversation Tucker Carlson was actually forcing.
Tucker brought up the donor class, the lobbyists, and the uncomfortable fact that an America First platform was hijacked to serve foreign interests.
Here is the insight the legacy media refuses to give you.
The right to exist trap is not a moral question.
It is an enforcement mechanism.
It is a linguistic weapon designed to police your vocabulary so you never look at the math. And you never ask why your taxpayer dollars are being looted. Let's look at the live receipts from this exact election cycle.
While you're being told to debate labels on television, the lobbying machine is busy buying the very politicians who vote for these wars. According to Federal Election Commission data analyzed just weeks ago, AIPAC and its affiliated super PACs have already funneled over $28 million into the 2025 to 2026 congressional campaigns. In the Illinois primaries alone this past March, they dumped roughly $14 million to crush candidates who refused to blindly support this exact military escalation. And who benefits when those bought and paid for politicians clear the path for war.
The defense contractors. The 2026 revenue rankings just dropped and global arms revenue has officially hit a record-shattering $679 billion.
Lockheed Martin is raking in over $60 billion in defense revenue and RTX is pulling in nearly $40 billion. Tucker Carlson is pointing out the glaring contradiction that terrifies the establishment.
We are told there is no money to fix the crumbling infrastructure in the United States.
Yet, there is always another billion dollars to send overseas when the donors demand it. The establishment creates the chaos through policies like the economic fury sanctions the Treasury Department just expanded last month. They start the conflict, they fund the defense contractors, and then legacy media editors like Zanny Minton Beddoes are sent out to make sure you feel too guilty or too scared of being smeared to complain about the bill. Tucker didn't just expose a bad foreign policy. He exposed the architecture of the entire racket.
America First was the marketing slogan.
Donors First is the actual operation. I am Silas Miller. This is the Silas Wire where we rip the script, follow the money, and expose the motive.
If you are ready to stop being a casualty of their narrative and start reclaiming your independence, check the gear I've tagged in this video. Smedley Butler's book will give you the historical receipts on this racket.
While the GL.iNet router and Jackery power station are exactly what you need to keep your data and your energy off their grid. We don't need their access because we have the truth.
People over profits, always. Peace.
