This is from a Tucker Carlson post on face book copied and pasted verbatim.
What it's important to remember is that Carlson was a fierce and very proud supporter of the Republican Party and has only broken with them and left this year
He was a key political commentator on Fox News until 2023.
Therefore it really matters that it is him who has written what he has below as he is no Democrat Leftie indeed a solid supporter of the moderate right all his life

BREAKING: Tucker Carlson reveals a jaw-dropping private conversation he had with Trump in which he warned him that the Iran War would destroy America and Trump said: "We all die anyway, so it doesn't matter.
This maniac has the nuclear codes...
"I'm in an unusual position because I talked to Trump," Carlson told Steve Inskeep of the NPR Newsmakers podcast.
The former Fox News host has become one of the President's fiercest critics over the past year, with his most vociferous attacks aimed at the disastrous, pointless war with Iran.
"But you've quoted him as waving off the risk by saying it'll all be fine which could almost—" said Inskeep of Trump's posture towards the conflict.
"You want to know what he said?" replied Carlson. I'll tell you exactly what he said and I haven't said this but I'm just gonna tell you. And this is a fact. And I could look at my calendar but I had flown back from Tel Aviv from Ben Gurion Airport after seeing the ambassador and two days later I was in the Oval with Trump alone
"And he was annoyed that I had given Huckabee a hard time in this whole conversation about Huckabee and I said your U.S. ambassador — and as the son of an ambassador — I know what the job entails," recounted Carlson. "And your ambassador, your representative to this nation just called for rearranging the Middle East and allowing Israel to take parts of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria.
Like this is a diplomatic incident and so we had this whole conversation about this."
"But then I said this war is not about Iran's nuclear program, which you told me and the world that you eliminated back in last summer, in June," Carlson continued. "This war is being pushed by Israel with three aims..."
"One, its own regional hegemony. Take Iran off the map. They don't have freedom of movement as long as Iran is a regional power.
"Two, diminishing the power of the GCC, the six Gulf states which are a rival to Israel and are becoming this kind of Switzerland of the Middle East and that's bad for Israeli interests."
"And three, getting the U.S. out of the Middle East because we constrain their ambitions, getting our bases out, destroying our bases. Israel wants our bases out of the Middle East. I said this to Trump to his face in the Oval Office days before the war began," said Carlson.
"And he looked at me and said Yes, you're right. But in the end we all die anyway, so it doesn't matter That's exactly what he said 'In the end, we all die anyway,' and I said to him, shocked, But what about our kids and our grandkids and like our country and he goes Uggggh
"What does that mean?" a perplexed Inskeep asked of the bizarre, dismissive noise.
"I don't know! That's a verbatim exchange," said Carlson. "And you know as God watches I said that. I thought it was true then and I think it's been proven true now."
"The goal was to get the U.S. out, to diminish the GCC, and obviously to take Iran off the map and sink it into permanent internal strife into civil war, sectarian strife," said Carlson.
"And he said it doesn't matter because in the end we're all dead anyway.
And I was shocked by that because it's nihilism and that's the last thing any leader should display or any person should display.
It does matter.
Who lives or dies does matter.
The future does matter."
As horrifying as Trump's anti-human remarks are, they are perfectly in keeping with his personality. This man is an egomaniacal sociopath.
He doesn't believe in God, doesn't believe in the rule of law or right and wrong. As far as he's concerned, the world ends when he dies. He couldn't care less what happens to the rest of us.
It's also not the first time that Trump has given the world such an unvarnished look into his nihilistic worldview. In a 2004 interview with Larry King, he shared similar sentiments—
"I try and tell myself it doesn't matter. Nothing matters. If you tell yourself it doesn't matter, like you do shows, you do this, you do that and then you have earthquakes in India where 400,000 people get killed," said Trump.
"Honestly, it doesn't matter. That's how I handle stress."
Within this kind of moral framework (or lack thereof) Trump's entire life makes sense. Since he believes in nothing, he has chosen to indulge in every cruelty and evil imaginable.
He spent his time on this Earth ripping people off, sexually abusing and raping women, allegedly including children, and then used the powers of the White House to slaughter countless people overseas.
If the Devil exists, this is what he looks like.

I think the Gerrymandering is going to massively backfire for the GOP. However, I am not 100% convinced that we will have a free and fair election.
He has sent armed guards to the post offices. He announced the Military will be monitoring election security. The state of Goergia has asked the DOJ to herlp them with the voting machines. He told them out loud on TV to cheat. Of course it was "just a joke". He isnt walking away from the biggest cash cow he has ever conned, 77 million American People. He doesnt seem concerned about losing. At least not where we can see it.
Although, lots of his advisors are jumping ship and the GOP Congresspeople up for election in November are removing any mention of him from thier websites.

Have you seen this reel.

Its true.
And it's funny.
This is a very interesting article. I like how they pay it out with the reason why they think this way.

Reading that there is very little room now to change the voters minds. Nearly all will have made up their minds which way they will vote.
So barring a disaster, and if polls are correct. Trump is not going to be happy.
My ballot gets mailed on October 9th. I am already prepared with my votes and I will turn around and drop it in the secure drop box the very next day. The county will keep it safe until it is time to count them on Nov 3rd.
I think he is going to lose both chambers, though not enough seats to actually get anything done I suppose. We will see.
Let's hope you're right, imaround. Your posts are always interesting, thank you!
Well, I think this may be our answer on how he is going to stop free and fair elections. I can't wait to see what the drunkard in charge has planned to "secure" our elections.

Oh goodness, imaround, that is a scary scenario.
Mr Trump seems to be taking steps to "encourage " people to vote the way that he would prefer.
Just announced R4 news how very badly numbers of new jobs on offer in the USA has dropped - huge reduction as in year on year -
This may not go down well with those in most need in the mid terms.
Hopefully they will come out and vote.
Whether it will affect the MAGA vote I don't know, because I don't know which areas have been hit job wise. (ie, drops in the remaining industries and mining, or in middle class jobs due to cuts).
Imaround ?
Most MAGA won't even see the actual numbers because they will not watch anything but Fox News and Fox News would never show them the truth.
My ballot was mailed today, I got the email. I am ready and it will be returned to a secure dropbox the second I can. 
Hope your Team wins, imaround.
Boz 👍

Hope your Team wins, imaround.
Hear hear.
petra - brilliant reel.
Pete Hesgseth!! Has he gone entirely mad? His language in his latest weird speech was appalling, on top of which he has sacked so many if his most senior military. How on earth is he going to fill that knowledge gap?
He is beyond embarrassing.
Say hello to Kansas. Welcome to the dark side.

I am going to hold onto hope that a free and fair election is going to happen. Elon is back...
Heck, money counts, its always been disgraceful....
...I watched the little Adam Hamilton (leading Christian) interview - he's going to get quite a bit of support due to his position - what do you think of him?
I'll have to go and look closer at him. Kansas hasn't elected a Democrat in the Senate for 94 years. That is how bad Trump is doing.
Also, random, just found this nice little recap of everything Trump has done this term that is illegal, unconditional or a war crime.

I've bookmarked that, imaround. It's a very powerful resource to use against the administration. Some things really catch your eye and not in an obvious way as in for example climate denial by slashing help to use solar power and other moves to improve matters that individuals can take up.
here's one to cheer you up imaround, not very new, its The Man himself. song begins halfway through. Its the alternative America shouting out
