Mike Huckabee Just Went NUCLEAR on The Far-Right For Abandoning MAGA & Israel!

追加: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]I really have become to feel genuinely sorry for Tucker Carlson. I'm not mad at him. Tucker Carlson now sees everything of Jew hatred and through a lens of really an anti-Zionism that goes beyond just someone who feels annoyed. But there is something deep inside of him that he recklessly is unable to see Israel as it really is. and he sees it as he wants to in his mind to justify the level of animosity and contempt that he has for the Jewish people as a whole as well as for the state of Israel and its current government. What's happened to Tucker Carlson and other voices on the political right? Check out this great clip over here where Mike Huckabe, the ambassador to Israel, is discussing what he believes happened. We'll watch it together and then we'll talk about it. But first, hit that subscribe button over there in the corner. We'd love to stay in touch. Check this out. I really have become to feel genuinely sorry for Tucker Carlson. He's circling the drain.

[00:00:56]He's he's somehow unbalanced in a way.

[00:00:59]And I don't say that facitiously and I don't say that to be critical. I'm saying it because out of a concern for a person who is exhibiting signs of having lost rational thought and any sense of perspective and being unable to determine the truth from a lie and even saying things like I never said that when in fact it's clearly on video with his face and his lips saying it. So I'm not mad at him. I don't hate him. I've known him for over 30 years. But I'm genuinely concerned for him. Uh, obviously I do not advocate for the murder of children or civilians. Ever have, never will. I'm as pro-life as anybody has ever been. I've been in the pro-life movement since the mid70s.

[00:01:46]So, I I think my bonafides on that are are pretty clear.

[00:01:50]What's what's troubling is that Tucker Carlson now sees everything through a lens of Jew hatred and through a lens of really an anti-Zionism that goes beyond just someone who feels annoyed because they think Israel gets special breaks and benefits from the United States that others don't get. That's that's one thing a policy difference. But there is something deep inside of him that he recklessly uh is unable to see Israel as it really is. And he sees it as he wants to in his mind to justify the level of animosity and contempt that he has for the Jewish people as a whole as well as for the state of Israel and its current government.

[00:02:41]>> Yeah. And just to to broaden out the context of this conversation, it was through the lens of a comparison being made between uh yourself, Ted Cruz, and Nick Fuentes and an admitted white supremacist, clearly bigot uh unfortunately young man who's whose voice is gaining traction here in the United States. and how vile uh that he would make this comparison and saying that he prefers someone like Nick Fuentes to people like yourself and Ted Cruz.

[00:03:19]>> Ted and I have actually had a conversation about this since the New York Times story came out. I think neither of us are injured by it. We've both been through worse. We've been accused of crazy things. It's the nature of the beast if you're in the political realm. But in this case, uh, you know, if you're going to compare someone and try to denigrate their character, the best thing is to compare them to someone where there is a degree of believability.

[00:03:46]I'm not saying that people can't find fault in me because if they can't, my wife will quickly help them out and she'll give them a long list of things that they can find fault over. But to say that someone who believed that Winston Churchill was the real evil person of World War II and that Hitler really wasn't that bad, as Nick Vuentes has said, for him to say the things that he has about women, which is degrading and insulting and uh sexist in a way that is so very repulsive to anyone today to make that comparison is what is bizarre.

[00:04:22]So, um, it's like comparing maybe, uh, Bobby Fle, the great chef, to Jeffrey Dmer. There's no credibility in that. And, and I think that's where Tucker is breaking down even with his own audience. And I use the term he's circling the drain. Do >> you see yourself as uh, belonging to the MAGA movement? And if you do, what how would you how would you say that MAGA looks on this type of rhetoric? I mean, President Trump did did kind of disassociate Tucker from MAGA. And I I'd like to get your thoughts on that. And and and is it possible to be America first and also support Israel?

[00:05:02]>> I think it's impossible not to be America first and support Israel because being America first does not mean being America only. doesn't mean we're an isolationist country that uh decides that we don't want to be a part of a larger view of the world in which our interests are being served because quite frankly there is no such thing as a nation that can fulfill all of its capabilities that does not have connection to the broader world. If we want to shut ourselves off from every other country on the planet, uh we lose a lot in terms of our own national security, our own military capacity. But then we lose some stuff that a lot of Americans never think about. I I hear people say, "I don't want anything to do with Israel." I say, "Okay, give up your cell phone. Uh give up car navigation.

[00:05:52]Give up some medical innovations that may have saved some member of your family's life. Be sure, by the way, to give up some conveniences like cherry tomatoes and seedless watermelons while you're at it. And uh let's just go ahead and and don't buy anything that has an Nvidia or an Intel chip. Uh let's get rid of most of your computers and a whole lot of the software that you use because it was innovated here. And I'm sorry to break it to you, but if you hate Israel that much, you're going to be living a very different kind of life.

[00:06:23]So you you I I'll say to your question, am I MAGA? I was MAGA before MAGA was MAGA. If people go back and look at what I was saying in 2008 when I was running for president, it was really MAGA without the uh the acronym. And one of the reasons that I supported Donald Trump as soon as I got out of the race in 2016 was because it was a message that I could relate to.

[00:06:49]But the real architect of MAGA is Donald Trump. He gets to decide who's MAGA. And he's decided Tucker Carlson is not. So when Tucker Carlson went out and started pretending that he had a better understanding of what it means to be make America great again and what America first means more than the person who created it, invented it and marketed it to two successful presidential campaigns. That's when you've crossed a line of credibility that Tucker has clearly crossed. It It's like saying, "I've eaten a Snickers bar, therefore I must have invented it." Tucker didn't invent MAGA. He didn't invent America first. He followed it for a while. And I will also say he followed it after he hated it. Then he loved it. Now he hates it again. And if he's out of the movement, it's because he never was really a part of it anyway. There's a big difference between questioning foreign policy and rewriting moral reality. There's a difference between debating alliances and spreading narratives that poison people against an entire nation or an entire people. And sadly, like you see in this video, even some voices on the right have crossed that line. For years, Tucker Carlson built his brand around asking hard questions. Fair enough. In a free society, we should ask hard questions.

[00:08:08]We should debate wars. We should debate spending and debate alliances and debate strategy. All that's fine and good. But something darker has happened over here.

[00:08:18]Because when you start platforming people who say that Winston Churchill was the real villain of World War II and not Adolf Hitler, when you casually entertain claims that Israel secretly hates Christians, when every global problem somehow circles back to Jews or Israel or dual loyalty accusations, that's no longer healthy skepticism.

[00:08:43]That becomes moral confusion. And moral confusion is dangerous. Let's speak about it plainly. First of all, Winston Churchill was not the villain of World War II. Hitler was. Churchill stood almost alone while Europe collapsed into darkness. Britain didn't start the war.

[00:09:00]Hitler invaded Poland. Hitler built death camps. Hitler unleashed genocide on a scale that the world has never seen. Churchill's crime was refusing to surrender to evil. And notice something important. Every generation eventually produces people who say that the west is the real villain. America was the real villain. Britain was the real villain.

[00:09:23]Israel is the real villain. Why? Because once you erase the distinction between civilization and barbarism, evil no longer has a face. And that's exactly how societies lose their moral compass.

[00:09:39]Then there's this bizarre claim that Israel hates Christians. It's simply false. Israel is the only country in the Middle East where Christian populations have consistently grown over time, where churches are protected by law, where Christians vote, where they serve in parliament, where they sit on the Supreme Court, and they worship openly.

[00:09:59]Meanwhile, ancient Christian communities have nearly vanished in Iraq and Syria and Gaza and many of the other surrounding regions because of Islamist extremism and persecution. Does Israel have its share of problems? You bet.

[00:10:15]Every democracy does. Americans criticize America every single day.

[00:10:20]Israelis criticize Israel every single day. That's what free societies do. It's all fine and good. But there's a difference between criticizing policies and creating a fantasy image of Israel as some unique evil or uniquely evil force manipulating the world.

[00:10:39]That language has consequences because history teaches us something terrifying. Jew hatred rarely begins with I hate Jews. It usually begins with I'm just asking questions. Then suddenly Jews are blamed for wars and banks and media and foreign policy and disease and immigration and capitalism and communism or whatever people fear already.

[00:11:09]Whatever people whatever fear people already carry inside of them, the Jews take the brunt of the blame. It's one of the oldest lies in human history. And here's what frustrates me the most. As someone who loves America, people now act as if supporting Israel somehow contradicts being America first. No. As Mike Huckabe said, the exact opposite is true. Israel is America's closest ally in the most dangerous region on Earth.

[00:11:38]Israel shares intelligence that saves American lives. Israel develops military technology alongside America. Israel stands on the front line against Iran and Hamas and radical jihadist movements that openly chant death to America long before they chant death to Israel.

[00:11:57]The enemies attacking Israel are the same enemies burning American flags.

[00:12:04]And beyond strategy, there's something even deeper. America and Israel are tied together by the Hebrew Bible. The founding fathers constantly drew language and imagery and moral vision from the story of Israel. Moses, Exodus, covenant, liberty under God, human dignity rooted in creation itself. To defend Israel is not to betray America.

[00:12:28]It's to remember part of America's own soul. And listen carefully. You can love America without hating Israel. You can criticize Israeli policy without demonizing Jews. You can oppose war without rewriting history. You can put America first without putting truth last. Because patriotism without moral clarity becomes tribalism. And nationalism without truth eventually devours itself.

[00:12:59]America doesn't become stronger by abandoning its allies or forgetting its history or flirting with old conspiracies dressed up as independent thinking. America becomes stronger when it remembers who it is. America is the nation that stood against Nazism.

[00:13:17]America is the nation that believed that liberty was sacred. America is a nation that understood that civilization survives only when good people have the courage to defend it. And that's the real choice in front of us now. Not left versus right, not Republican versus Democrat, but truth versus confusion, civilization versus cynicism, light versus darkness. And in every generation, the future belongs to the people who still have the courage to call evil by its name and goodness by its name as well.
