1 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to Inside the Epicenter weekend edition with New York 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Times best selling author in Mid East expert Joel Rosenberg. 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: This is a radio program of the Joshua Fund, a 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: ministry founded by Joel and his wife Lynn that's dedicated 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: to blessing Israel and her neighbors in the name of Jesus. 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: This is a program where we don't just talk about 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: faith and current events. We dive right into the spiritual 8 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: pulse of the Middle East and the God who's moving 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: so powerfully in it. Every week we unpack the headlines, 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: the prophecies, and the hope of Christ that's rising in 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: a region so often misunderstood because what happens in the 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: Epicenter doesn't stay there. It's after shocks ripple across the world. 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: Today we are featuring a powerful and deeply sobering conversation 14 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: between Joel Rosenberg and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: a conversation about the growing hostility towards Israel, a spiritual 16 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: battle surrounding evangelical support for the Jewish state, and the 17 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: rising tensions between the United States and Iran. In this 18 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: special program, Ambassador Huckabee responds directly to recent accusations made 19 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: against Israel, President Trump, and evangelical Christians by influential media 20 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: voices on both the political left and right. This is 21 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: more than a political conversation. It's a spiritual conversation about truth, discernment, courage, 22 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: and why believers must remain grounded in scripture during a 23 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: season of confusion and rising hostility. Let's join Joel Rosenberg 24 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: and Ambassador Mike Huckabee from Jerusalem. 25 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: So I want to talk about a firestorm, a firestorm 26 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: that's erupting where on the left and on the right, 27 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: you've got people that are attacking Israel, the Jews, and 28 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: very important, not just Israel and Jews, they're attacking the Christians, 29 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: the evangelical Christians. Some call us a Christian Zionist Christians 30 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: who love Israel and love the Jews and are standing 31 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: with Israel in this seven front, eight front, or really 32 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: this is a big deal because what's happening on the left, 33 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: but more importantly on the crazies on the right, extreme right, 34 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson, Candace Owen's, Megan Keviny and others, they are 35 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: firing the political equivalent of nuclear cruise missiles right at 36 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: the evangelical Christian alliance with Israel, which means at the 37 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: alliance between Trump and these evangelical Christians. So nobody better 38 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: to talk about this than the man who sat brutally 39 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: for more than two hours with Tucker Carlson trying to 40 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: explain and speak sense and reason into Tucker. 41 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 3: It didn't work. 42 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: But Mike Huckabee and maathro Rockabye, thank you for coming 43 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: on for. 44 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: Your first full interview really. 45 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: About that and about this topic. Since that's a very 46 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 2: intense dust up you had with Tucker. 47 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell people that's two hours of my life 48 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: I'll never get back again. It was quite an experience, Joel. 49 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 4: You know, because I've known Tucker for over thirty years. 50 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: One of his first jobs was Little Rock, Arkansas. I 51 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 4: worked for he was the governor, and he worked for 52 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 4: a paper. It was actually I was a lieutenant other 53 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 4: OK and he was working for the newspaper. And then 54 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 4: I became governor. He went on to CNN, to MSNBC. 55 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 4: I think he did PPS. Well, he's been fired. He's 56 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 4: pretty much been every network, been fired from every one 57 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 4: of them. I knew him at Fox. We worked together 58 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: in New York for six and a half years when 59 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 4: I was there. But the Tucker Carlson that I'm watching 60 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 4: today is not recognizable from the one that I have 61 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 4: known all as many years before. 62 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: I want to get to the interview, but he's given 63 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: other interviews, including just this week a two hour interview 64 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: with a reporter from the New York Times, and I 65 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: think when even further in some of the most astonishing 66 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: anti Israel, anti Jewish, anti Christian, anti President Trump, anti 67 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: American statements I've ever heard him make. And that's tough 68 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: to He's tough to top, but he keeps talking himself, 69 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: just zooming out for a moment. Though this is a firestorms, 70 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: this is the way I'm describing It's just it's just 71 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: a war right now by people on the left, mostly 72 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: actually on the left as well as the right. But 73 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 2: I mean, you got Candace Owens on the right saying 74 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 2: that Israel is a demonic nation direct quote Hassan Piker, 75 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: one of the most influential influencers on the hardcore left 76 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 2: that is endorsing, you know, is super close to the 77 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: New York mayor, the Shia Muslim sour On Mamdani and 78 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: others campaigning for Democrats. 79 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: He says that Hamas is a thousand times. 80 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: Better than Israel, and he calls Prime mister net and 81 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: Yahoo Satan Yahoo. 82 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 3: Those are just a few of the recent quotes. 83 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: Senator Bernie Sanders accusing Israel of genocide, saying that Israel 84 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: dragged the United States in to this war with Iran, 85 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: and he of course is trying to block US arm 86 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: shipments to Israel in a defensive war. And of course 87 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 2: Tucker himself is called the war in God's a genocide. 88 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 3: And those are just a few. 89 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, let's not get into all the 90 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: It's too long and too exhausting. So let's start with 91 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: the most explosive thing that Tucker has said in recent days, 92 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: and that suggesting that President Trump is the anti Christ. Now, 93 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: he said on his show on April fifteenth, the day 94 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: after Easter, here's a leader who is mocking the gods 95 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 2: of his ancestors, mocking the god of gods and exalting 96 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? 97 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: Now? 98 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 2: When the New York Times reporter read that to him, 99 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: he said, I've not said that. She said, you have 100 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: said it. He said, actually, I did not say that 101 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: this could be the Antichrist? I don't know where that 102 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: comes from, but I know those words have never crossed 103 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 2: my lips. 104 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 5: You know, you've been talking on your show about whether 105 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 5: Trump is the Antichrist. 106 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 6: I have not said that. 107 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 5: On your show the day after Easter, you noted he 108 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 5: did not put his hand on the Bible during his 109 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 5: swearing ceremony as president. You said, and I'm quoting, maybe 110 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 5: he didn't put his hand on the Bible because he 111 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 5: affirmatively rejects what's inside that book. And then on a 112 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 5: recent show you went further, saying, here's a leader who's 113 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 5: mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of 114 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 5: gods and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? 115 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 6: I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist? 116 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 7: Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, 117 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 7: mocking the God of gods and exalting himself above them. 118 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 6: Could this be the Antichrist? Well, who knows. 119 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 7: I don't know where that comes from, but I know 120 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 7: that those words never left my lips, because I'm not 121 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 7: sure I fully understand what the antichrist is. If there's 122 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 7: just one, I actually tried to understand. 123 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: It We're at a new low when somebody who endorsed 124 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 2: President Trump, who campaigned for him, is now calling President 125 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: Trump the anti race. 126 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: How do you respond to something like. 127 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 4: That, Well, there are two things that are really wrong 128 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 4: with that. First is that he is accusing President Trump 129 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 4: of being the Antichrist or inferring it. The second thing 130 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 4: is that he denies the words that he said, and 131 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 4: he vehemently denies it. It's like I'm reminded of Peter 132 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 4: at Kaifis' house saying I'd never said that. You know, 133 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 4: I don't know the man. First, it's like, yeah, you do, 134 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 4: you do know the man. And in this case, it's 135 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 4: really bizarre because the internet lives forever. Those words that 136 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 4: Tucker said have been played back, and anyone can go 137 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: on any social media platform and see him saying the 138 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 4: very thing that he said he didn't say. 139 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: I've got a theory on this already. I mean meaning, 140 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: it's possible he forgot possible. 141 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: His mind is so clouded. 142 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: I have another theory, which is he's an evil genius. 143 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 3: He's been in media for thirty plus years. 144 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: By saying he didn't say it, he got the New 145 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: York Times to replay the clip and media all of 146 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: the world, certainly social media is replaying the clip, in 147 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: other words, to magnify the concept that President Trump is 148 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: not just evil and a betrayer, and we'll get to 149 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: some of the other things he said, but is the 150 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: most evil and powerful and omniscient and all powerful man 151 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: on the planet, some sort of genie from Aladdin, like. 152 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 3: This is what's happened. 153 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 4: Well, it's interesting because Tucker Carlson was a huge fan 154 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 4: of President Trump, campaigned for him with him, regularly, went 155 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 4: to the White House to hang out and to sit 156 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 4: down and chat with him, and suddenly he says President 157 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 4: Trump could be the Antichrist. Now here's the real issue. 158 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 4: President Trump hasn't changed. I've known him since two thousand 159 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: and eleven or twenty ten. He really is the same person. 160 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 4: And if you listen to things that he has said, 161 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: even about Iran, even about America, entrepreneurial act whatever, he's 162 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 4: still saying the same things that he was saying forty 163 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 4: five years ago. This is the same guy. Tucker Carlson, 164 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 4: on the other hand, is saying very different things. So 165 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 4: if someone has had a dramatic change in not just personality, 166 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: but a dramatic change in worldview, it's not Donald Trump, 167 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 4: it's Tucker Carlson. That's the hard part to explain. Why 168 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 4: has he had such a complete transformation of his worldview. 169 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 4: And that's really what we're looking at, is somebody who 170 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 4: is unrecognizable from those of us who have known him. 171 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: So Tucker has called President Trump in the New York 172 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 2: Times interview in recent weeks since he saw you, he's 173 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: called him evil, a betrayer of the United States, betrayer 174 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: putting Israel's interest first, not America first. 175 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: Tucker also in the New York. 176 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: Times interview, said that President Trump is spellbinding. Now that 177 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: can be used generally as you know, sort of charming, 178 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 2: but he says, I think this. 179 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 3: Let me go back to the quote. I think it 180 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: is probably literally. 181 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: A spell that the President is casting on people to weaken, 182 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: confuse them, and make them more compliant. He said, spending 183 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: a day with Trump is like being in a dreamland. 184 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: It's like smoking hash. I can't say I have never 185 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: done it, but maybe Tucker has. But he says there 186 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 2: may be a supernatural component. So on the one hand, 187 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: Tucker is accusing the President of being sort of all powerful, 188 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 2: super evil and everybody is under a spell by him. 189 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: But then he went on to say that President Trump 190 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: is a slave to Prime Mister net Yahoo, that President Trump. 191 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 3: Is a hostage. 192 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: Pretty hard words when we had dealt with two hundred 193 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: and fifty one hostages a hostage to be then Yahoo 194 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 2: that Trump didn't want to go to war but was 195 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: sort of forced into it by Israel. 196 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 3: So which is it? Is Trump the. 197 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: All powerful anti Christ evil put people in spells, or 198 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: is he a slave to Yahoo and the Israeli government. 199 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 4: Truth is, he can't be both. He's got to be 200 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 4: one of the other. He has to be neither one. 201 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 4: I think he's neither one. I was in the room 202 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 4: when the meeting between the Prime Minister Netanyahu and the 203 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 4: President took place. 204 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 6: It was at the White House. There were two parts of. 205 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 4: The meeting, and I can tell you President Trump was 206 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 4: not pulled in. He was not led, He was not 207 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 4: somehow persuaded. Evidence was presented. It was the thorough discussion. 208 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 4: President Trump made up his own mind. Anybody who's ever 209 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 4: been around him knows you don't grab President Trump by 210 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 4: the nose and wheeling him along. It's not how he operates. 211 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 4: He's a very decisive person. 212 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: He's had some dust ups with net Yahoo in the 213 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 2: past that where they agreed at times. 214 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: But it's also because they have such a close relationship, 215 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 4: a very close relationship on a personal not just a 216 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: diplomatic level, that they're able to be honest with each other. 217 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 4: And that's one of the reasons that I think it's 218 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 4: such an important relationship, because there is honesty, candor. 219 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 6: But there's trust. There's real trust. 220 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 4: Between the two of them, something that you don't see 221 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: in world leaders at all. 222 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: That's true.

Now let's get back to Joel and 229 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: Ambassador Huckabee as they discussed why President Trump believed Iran 230 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: had become a direct threat to the United States and 231 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: why the US Israel alliance matters profoundly for Americans as 232 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: well as Israelis, So. 233 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 3: Let's sharpen this point. 234 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: The New York Times interviewer asked Tucker, So, what has changed, Tucker, 235 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: You're making the case that for ten years President Trump 236 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 2: was sort of railing against the decision in. 237 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 3: My president George W. 238 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: Bush to go into Iraq, a regime change war in 239 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 2: Iraq over weapons of mass destruction or the fear that 240 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 2: they would be there. So what's changed? And Tucker said, 241 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out. 242 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 3: What changed. 243 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: It is true that President Trump would seem like an 244 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 2: unlikely guy president to go into this operation epic fury 245 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: with Iran. 246 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 3: But something did change. What's the thing that changed? 247 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 4: Well, the biggest thing that changed was not something that 248 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 4: changed at all. It was that Iran has for forty 249 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 4: seven years threatened that they were going to take America down, 250 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 4: and they have had the ambition to have a nuclear 251 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 4: weapon in which to do it. When they have gotten 252 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 4: as close as they now have, when they had enough 253 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 4: uranium that they could make bombs ten or eleven of them, 254 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 4: the President realized that this was now a clear and 255 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 4: present danger to the United States of America and its people. 256 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 4: That's what happened here and the President, if you remember back, 257 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 4: how many weeks did we go through this negotiating posture 258 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 4: trying to bring some level of solution didn't happen. And 259 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 4: when it became apparent that it was not going to happen, 260 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 4: that the Iranians were hell bent on having a nuclear 261 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 4: device and the capacity to deliver it to the United States, 262 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 4: the President took action and had nothing to do with 263 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 4: him trying to protect the State of Israel, although he 264 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 4: of Israel and understands the value of our partnership, and 265 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 4: it certainly wasn't because he was lured into it by 266 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 4: Prime Minister Netan Yahoo. It was because, as president an 267 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 4: America first president, he recognized that this was a growing 268 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 4: threat to the people of America, not just to the 269 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 4: people of Israel. 270 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 2: So one would think right logically that Tucker Carlson or 271 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: anybody else who cares about America first would think if 272 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: not just the American homeland and American military basis and 273 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: American economic interests in the Middle East or again in 274 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: the Homeland were threatened by a country that's been saying 275 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: for forty seven years death to America. Like they're not 276 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: shy about their ambitions. You would think that if a 277 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: country where seven hundred thousand Americans lived was not just 278 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: being threatened by nuclear warfare a second Holocaust, but actually 279 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: had been under tack for two and a half years 280 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: in which forty six Americans were murdered. On October seventh, 281 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: forty six and twelve Americans were taken hostage, you would 282 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: think that an American First policy would not only need 283 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: to be offending Americans back home, but Americans in the region, including. 284 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: Here in Israel. 285 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: How does this How do we as Americans not merit 286 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: the protection of our president back in Washington. 287 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 4: I think because most Americans are living six thousand miles 288 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 4: if they're on the East Coast, six thousand miles from Israel, 289 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 4: if they are where I'm from in Arkans othery're seven 290 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 4: thousand miles away. They don't understand it, they don't perceive it. 291 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 4: But it is bigger than that. America First does not 292 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 4: mean America only. The President has never thought that. I 293 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 4: really found it amazing when people like Tucker Carlson would 294 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 4: try to redefine what it means to be America First. 295 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: And I'm thinking, don't want to break this to you, Tucker, 296 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 4: but it's not your movement. You don't get to define it. 297 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 4: There's only one person who gets to define what it means, 298 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 4: and that's the person who created it. That's President Donald J. Trump, 299 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: who was the only person elected in November of twenty 300 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 4: twenty four to lead the movement. It wasn't Tucker Carlson. 301 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 3: We're running out of time. 302 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I have to ask you another question because I 303 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: started with this premise. The New York Times reporter asked 304 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: Tucker specifically, quote, would you like to see Christians like this? 305 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: She said, they referring to Christians, Zionis even Jones, would 306 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 2: you like to see Christians like this stop supporting Israel 307 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 2: in the way that they do. And Tucker said, of 308 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: course immediately, and then he accused Israel purposely murdering innocent 309 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 2: women and children in Gaza and Lebanon. 310 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 5: Your Easter episode was titled in part of warning to 311 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 5: Christians everywhere, and so my interpretation was that you were 312 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,719 Speaker 5: warning other Christians sort of not to follow a false prophet. 313 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 6: Yes, that's exactly what I'm warning. 314 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 5: And that false prophetent being President Trump in this case. 315 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 7: And Yahoo, there are a lot of evangelical Christians who 316 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 7: are convinced that God wants you to support and. 317 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 5: Yahoo, But would you like to see those Christians stop 318 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 5: supporting the state of Israel in the way that they do? 319 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 7: Of course immediately, you know, there were a lot of 320 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 7: cowardly people, as there always are, and Trump engender's cowardice 321 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 7: and the people around him through intimidation, and there is 322 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 7: the kind of quality that he has that's spell binding, 323 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 7: and I think it probably literally is a spell and 324 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,959 Speaker 7: the effect is to weaken people around him and make 325 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 7: them more compliant and more confused. 326 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 6: And I've experienced this myself. 327 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 7: You spend a day with Trump and sort of like 328 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 7: you're in this kind of dreamland. 329 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 6: It's like smoking hash or something. 330 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 7: It's interesting, very interesting, and there may be a supernatural 331 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 7: component to it. I'm not a theologian, but it's real, 332 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 7: and anyone who's been around him can tell you it's real. 333 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 6: You said he's a hostage. 334 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 5: Just now you told the BBC he's a slave to 335 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 5: foreign interest, correct. So I just want to ask you 336 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 5: to be sort of explicit. I mean, Trump is being 337 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 5: held hostage by whom. 338 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 6: Who who? 339 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 7: And by his many advocates in the United States know that, 340 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 7: not simply because Trump started the war on February twenty eighth. 341 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 2: But because he couldn't get out of it, he is 342 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 2: not just He doesn't Tucker Carlson doesn't just hate Israel 343 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 2: and the Jews. 344 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 3: He is. He hates. 345 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 2: He says, he's apologized to you and Tucker, Ted Crews 346 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: and others. But but the you know, the actions suggest 347 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 2: the fruit of the tree suggests he not only hates 348 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: Evan joical Christians who love Israel. What are your recommendations 349 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: to Americans generally an American Christians at this hour. 350 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 4: Well, when we did our interview, he because he was 351 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 4: face to face with me, apologized for saying I had 352 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: a brain virus and that I was worse than anyone 353 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 4: in the world. Then in the New York Times interview 354 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 4: he comes along and says that he thought that the 355 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 4: Nick Flentes interview was better than talking to me, that 356 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 4: he he despised me more than he did Nick flentis, 357 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 4: which I thought. 358 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 3: And neo Nazi who praises Hitler s. 359 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 4: Cool and thought the Churchill was the evil god World 360 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 4: War two. Two things, Yeah, to answer your question, two things. 361 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 4: First of all, we have to look at this. This 362 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 4: is a spiritual problem with Tucker. This isn't just political, 363 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 4: this is spiritual. Anyone who accuses someone else of being 364 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 4: an Antichrist without any evidence that brands evil as good 365 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 4: and good as evil. That's a spiritual issue. But the 366 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 4: second takeaway from all of this is that Tucker has 367 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 4: labeled things so horribly. He, for example, made the statement 368 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 4: of the New York Times interview that I advocated for 369 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 4: the murder of children. And I'm thinking, Tucker, I can 370 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 4: be accused of a lot of things, but that's not 371 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: one of them. There's no basis for that. So why 372 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 4: does he say things that are so outrageous. Is it 373 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 4: because he's trying to convince other people or is he 374 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 4: trying to convince himself that these radical views that he 375 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 4: has taken, that he can somehow justify them. And I think, 376 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 4: if you go back to it, that's a spiritual dilemma 377 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 4: for him. And that's why I'm not mad at him. 378 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 4: I don't hate him. I feel for him. I want 379 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 4: him to find himself. I want him to find the 380 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 4: true God. I want him to come back to a 381 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 4: place where this whatever is troubling him deep within his 382 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 4: soul is resolved. Because I look at him, not with 383 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 4: the sense of anger. I look at him with an 384 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 4: extraordinary sense of pity and agony that he has I 385 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 4: used the term he is now circling the drain. 386 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 2: Last question, I thought the most despicable moment in his 387 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 2: interview with you is that he said he wanted to 388 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,479 Speaker 2: talk about Christian Zionism and what is the biblical basis 389 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: for Israel. Those were all the set questions that you 390 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 2: invited him to come talk about. But where he began, essentially, 391 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: it was to accuse the President of Israel, our mutual friend, 392 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 2: Isaac Hertzog, one of the most honorable, decent men, truly 393 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: in the people. Tucker accused him of being in league 394 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: with Jeffrey Epstein into going to this pedophile, sexual deviant island. 395 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 2: He called it pedo Island. This was a brutal attack, 396 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 2: and you called him on it, and he kept pressing you, 397 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 2: isn't how do you not even know this? 398 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 3: As a father, as a as a husband, as an. 399 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: Ambassador to protect the American people, why aren't you calling 400 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: out President Herzog for him being in league with Jeffrey Epstein? 401 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: He said, will you call him? Will you confront him? 402 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 3: You did call it? The president? What was the response, and. 403 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 4: Well, the response was that the date that he Tucker 404 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 4: claimed President Herzog was on Pedo Island, he was actually 405 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 4: speaking in front of a thousand people in Tel Aviv, 406 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 4: so his alibi is pretty ironclad. More importantly, he'd never 407 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 4: met Epstein, didn't know who he was. I mean, he 408 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 4: heard of him. I strongly have suggested that President Herzog 409 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 4: should sue Tucker Carlson. And what happened after that when 410 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 4: it became evident that Tucker was totally wrong, Tucker pulled 411 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 4: that segment out of his interview. He apologized, but the 412 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 4: damage is done. And I still hope that President Herzog 413 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 4: because it's one thing to you. 414 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: Still hope that he sues. 415 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 4: I really do, because the only reason that people change 416 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 4: the kind of really evil behavior that Tucker is doing 417 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 4: when he accuses people of being a pedophile is when 418 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 4: there's accountability and there are consequences for doing those sort 419 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 4: of things. 420 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: The First Lady of France is suing Candice owen Good, 421 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: constantly calling her a. 422 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 4: Man, ridiculous, absurd. 423 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 6: It is. 424 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: You can disagree with the Macrones, but this has becomes 425 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 2: libel and slander. 426 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 3: And illegally defamation. 427 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 6: That is. 428 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 4: I feel like worthy of a lawsuit because if people 429 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 4: like Candae or Tucker can be held accountable for the 430 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 4: outrageous things they do and say that hurt people and 431 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 4: hurt their reputations and hurt their livelihood, then maybe others 432 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 4: will be forewarned not to be so outrageously incorrect and vicious. 433 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 3: Thank you. 434 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: I just want to say you did such an excellent job. 435 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 2: I don't know any other even Jokeal, that would have 436 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: had the patience as well as the knowledge and the skill. 437 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 3: You handled it well, and. 438 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 2: In many ways he really exposed himself as how much 439 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 2: he hates Christians, Jews, and Israel. 440 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 3: End to the President. 441 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: Well, that's our program for this week, but before we go, 442 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: we want to encourage you to check out Joel in 443 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: Lynn's podcast Inside the Epicenter, which is in the top 444 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: one percent of all podcasts in the world.
