Tucker - Trump's speech announced the end of the global American empire.

TUCKER CARLSON: What’s happening in Iran is the end of the American Empire as we understand it. And that’s sad. Boohoo—empire’s dying.

But it’s not the end of the United States. It’s not the end of our influence on other nations—hopefully a positive influence. It’s not the end of our economy.

It’s the beginning of a very rough time in our economy, of course, but it’s hardly the end of it. What we’ve been doing for likely your lifetime, if you’re under 80, is—well, it’s not working anymore. It hasn’t actually helped the United States long-term.

Your grandkids, at this point, don’t have the promise of a better life than you had. So it’s not actually a successful experiment, and now it’s ending because we’ve reached the limits of our demonstrated power.

We can’t open the Straits of Hormuz. The president of the United States said that last night—someone else do it. So we’re done.

That’s okay. It was always going to end. Hopefully, we can get out without a nuclear exchange. But now it is ending.

And there’s going to be a lot of suffering and sadness as a result of that end. But there will also be—there is—an awful lot of promise. Promise that the United States can act in its own interest, that it can be reasonable, that it will not be governed by deranged people seized by hubris or get way out over their skis and get a ton of people killed. You don’t have to occupy countries you’ve never been to, and can’t identify on a map.
