One of the most significant interviews in recent recorded American history. Not hyperbole. Tucker Carlson interviews Christian Zionist and the face of US Zionist policy in the Middle East, Ambassador Mike Huckabee, right before a probable unprovoked war against Iran. Close your eyes and pretend that you hear a quasi-German accent and you would believe that this guy was a Likud spokesperson or something.
The interview was held at Ben Gurion Airport because Tucker Carlson and his team were worried about personal security during the 90 minute travel between the airport and the US embassy in Jerusalem. The US embassy refused to provide an Embassy escort ("Control Officer") to ride along with the Carlson crew to provide visibility to help prevent any violence during the ride. Instead the US embassy said that they would let Israeli MFA (Foreign Affairs) take care of security.
Huckabee has more answers and defenses of Israel, its geopolitics, and it atrocities than he has for almost every American issue presented. He literally gets so defensive about Israel. This US Ambassador is an agent of Israel. He sounds as if he was prepped by Mossad with certain talking points to try to trip up Carlson but Carlson was prepared for most of it.
This interview had over a half million views on YT within the first 5 hours it was published.

Apparently the US Ambassador thinks it's okay for a foreign government to harass not only reporters but all US ambassadors and other diplomats by taking their passports and interrogating them by calling it "Passport Control"
