Tucker Carlson: If Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock Were Destroyed, It Could Cause A Nuclear Exchange
Tucker Carlson joined ‘Redacted’ to provide a deep dive into the escalating tensions surrounding Iran and the shifting landscape of American political movements:
CLAYTON MORRIS: I mean, I guess that was gonna be my next question was about, you know, do we know what the destruction has been like in Israel? I mean, there’s been a total blackout on Israeli attacks. What’s your sense of everyday life now for the Israelis? TUCKER CARLSON: I don’t know. I’m not quite as popular in Israel as I once was. I’m not quite as well sourced. I do know a lot of people in the Gulf and where it’s also illegal, by the way, to share social media video of the destruction and in those six Gulf monarchies, some wonderful people there. And I think it’s, you know, varies by country. But I think in some of them, it’s pretty tough, pretty darn tough. The one piece of tape that got my attention that I’ve been thinking about for like the last five years is video of a missile or a missile segment about a hundred yards from the Dome of the Rock in Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, and by the way, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. And I think the concern, the global concern, the concern that like our descendants will be talking about is the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex and the Dome of the Rock, you know, the gold dome over the foundation stone in Jerusalem that’s like at the center of two of the three Abrahamic faiths. If that were destroyed in this, you would have a… Well, I think you would… I don’t even know. But nothing like that has happened in our lifetimes or in our ancestors’ lifetimes. Like that would be the beginning of a generational global war and perhaps a nuclear exchange. I mean, that would be the end. And there are a lot of people in Israel who want that. Not a lot, maybe. I don’t know the numbers, but there are certainly prominent figures in Israel who want that. And so I think the second thing the U.S. government has to do, in addition to making certain that Israel never launches nuclear weapons against anybody, the second thing they need to do is make sure that the Dome of the Rock, that mosque, is protected. Not because we’re Muslims or protecting Islam, but because that would end the world as we know it. So no, we’re not doing that. You know, we’re not false flagging Dome of the Rock. We’re also going to try to protect it from errant Iranian missiles or whatever, but that’s a priority. That’s my opinion. I think we should do that because I’m concerned about that.
