What are the core questions about U.S. support for Israel raised at the start of the episode?

Tucker Carlson 0:00
There's something about true things that just sound different. When you hear something that's true, there's a different pitch or tone or vibration. It's kind of hard to describe. But when someone says something true, even if you don't exactly understand what it means, it sticks with you. The truth rings differently from lies. And recently, for a lot of different reasons, mostly because of the pressure being exerted on our society, you're hearing a lot of lies, but you're also hearing a lot of true things. And some of them are about the nation of Israel. And they're obvious things like, does the United States have an actual interest in supporting Israel unequivocally? Is Israel really our closest ally?
Tucker Carlson 0:48
Is there a good reason for this? Why are so many members of Congress taking money from a foreign government lobby, etc., etc., etc.? These are all true things. They point to the truth. They are questions that evoke true answers. And the response to this has been very, very telling. The response has been shouting and screaming accusations. It has not been engagement. Almost nobody on the other side of the debate has said, for sure, let me calmly explain why Israel's our greatest ally and we should, say, fund the killing in Gaza. Here's why it's good for the United States to spend this much money on Israel's, well, at this point, seven simultaneous wars, a seven-front war. We're paying for it. Why is that a good idea for the United States?
Tucker Carlson 1:39
How is it morally justifiable? And what's the purpose of this exactly? Is it really to defend the country or is it to expand its territory? No one will answer those questions. And that is why, simply, you're hearing this very loud conversation about anti-Semitism, which all of a sudden is everywhere. It's America's biggest problem. Well, there is, of course, anti-Semitism, and it's wrong. It's always wrong to hate people for their blood. There's no question about that. But is anti-Semitism really America's biggest problem? Well, no, it's not. It's not even in the top 100 biggest problems, bad as it is. You're hearing about it as a way to shut down truthful, honest questions. And that's, of course, the dynamic.
Tucker Carlson 2:25
And it's very clear to anybody who's paying attention. The problem with this dynamic is that it can inspire a lot of anger and, in fact, a lot of hate. People are getting madder and madder and madder on this topic on both sides. And you have to wonder why that is. Why doesn't someone just stand up and say, let's have a reasonable discussion about this? Let's just lay it out there in non-emotional terms, non-hateful terms, without attacking an entire group of people, any group of people, whether it's the Jews or the Muslims or the Christians, let's just slow down and be rational about this. Why is no one doing that? Well, it's possible that there are some people in this conversation who maybe on both sides, who want to inspire hate.
Tucker Carlson 3:11
And that's not a good idea for anyone. For this country, for Christians, it's forbidden. Christians are not allowed to hate people. They understand that it's against God's law. It's also the fastest way to corrode your soul and turn you into a monster. And of course, you don't want that. So how do you have a rational conversation about what's best for your country without becoming hateful yourself or inspiring hate in other people? We've really thought a lot about this. Don't become what they call you. That's our number one imperative, at least on this show. They call you a hater. Don't become one. So we're trying. So we're doing a couple of things. The first is we're flying to Jerusalem to interview Mike Huckabee.
Tucker Carlson 3:51
Mike Huckabee is is, of course, the American ambassador to Israel, someone I've known for over 30 years and always liked, and also a Baptist preacher of some kind, but certainly a prominent Baptist religious figure, also U.S. ambassador, and someone who has views that I just don't agree with at all on questions of American foreign policy and also on questions of theology. He's a Christian, famous Christian Zionist and a famous proponent of neocon foreign policy.
