This episode was released on the same day that Trump pleaded not guilty to federal charges brought against him.
During the show, Carlson featured video footage of Trump's comments during a 2016 Republican primary debate, in which he stated that the U.S. should never have been in Iraq, that America had "destabilized the Middle East," and that the claims made about weapons of mass destruction had been a lie, "and they knew there were none." Carlson claimed that Trump's statements regarding weapons of mass destruction being a lie "sealed his fate."

Carlson also mentioned that Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, and Sen. Lindsey Graham had described Trump as a "visionary genius up until the moment he lost power," but then "unsheathed their real agenda — as always the neocon war agenda. And they piled on with maximum force."

Trump, running for President again during the 2024 cycle, holds a decisive lead over the rest of the GOP presidential primary field. Carlson contended that the prosecution of Trump is "ideological" as well as "political" and that President Joe Biden is "using law enforcement to lock up his chief rival."

According to Carlson, Trump is the one individual with a chance at winning the presidency "who dissents from Washington's longstanding pointless war agenda. And for that, that one fact, they're trying to take Trump out before you can vote for him."
