So last week, Tucker released this interview with Trump's ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, and it was something else.

So to set the scene, right, like I obviously have huge, I know you do too, disagreements with both of these guys on policy and politics, right?

Both of them.

Tucker had a literal neo-Nazi on his show recently.

He had a historian.

He had a historian who said Winston Churchill was actually the chief villain of World War II, right?

That colors my view of his criticism of Israel, obviously.

Meanwhile, Mike Huckabee, he's kind of like, you know, jocular guy, but he is an extremist on policy.

He supports annexing the West Bank.

He says there's no such thing as a Palestinian.

He opposes a two-state solution.

So you sit these two dudes down for two hours and it is explosive.

Yes.

But also illustrative of the broader splits we've been seeing in the Republican Party and the MAGA movement.

So let's start with an exchange that quite literally created an international incident.

So for listeners who didn't consume the whole two-hour things like Ben and I did because we're freaks, so Tucker clearly came in to this interview with a plan to lay a trap for Huckabee because he knew, he kept asking him, like, why does Israel have a right to exist?

Right.

Right.

Because he knew Huckabee would say, well, there's international law and there's this biblical right in theology because of Genesis 15.

But as you saw there, those two views are totally irreconcilable.
