Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, July 20, 2026

Carlson bashed his former pal yet again during a July 15 interview on Bloomberg journalist Mishal Husain's podcast, after she asked if it was time to hold Trump "fully accountable" for the Iran war reigniting. Husain said it made sense, since the president is the "most powerful man in the world." Carlson scoffed at the description. "I don't think he's the most powerful man in the world," Carlson said. "I have held him directly accountable, it's his fault, he's the U.S. president, he was elected. That's his job, and a huge part of the job is resisting pressure from outside forces."

Now Mr Carlson has regrets?

Why didn't he see what so many others saw?

MAGA is splintering over things like Forever Wars and Hidden Epstein Files.

And Republicans had already split into Lincoln Project patriots and Trump Cultists.

Our Corporate Oligarchs, with all their wealth and power, are looking much like stressed out Russian Oligarchs these days.

Additional yachts may not really be worth meeting Madame Guillotine.

Just sayin'.
