  • When the world is really happening
  • 00:00:27.650 --> 00:00:29.486

  • So much is going on right now in the gulf.
  • 00:00:52.775 --> 00:00:55.411
  • As you can see, we are really in the thick of it again.
  • 00:00:55.411 --> 00:00:58.047
  • And yet it's not just kinetic warfare.
  • 00:00:58.047 --> 00:01:01.084
  • It's not just iran's absolute hell bent refusal
  • 00:01:01.084 --> 00:01:06.422
  • To accept
  • 00:01:06.422 --> 00:01:07.023
  • Any of president
  • 00:01:07.023 --> 00:01:07.957
  • Trump's demands, whether it's getting rid
  • 00:01:07.957 --> 00:01:09.826
  • Of their nuclear program, never going back to enrichment,
  • 00:01:09.826 --> 00:01:12.695
  • Never supporting terrorist organizations,
  • 00:01:12.695 --> 00:01:14.664
  • Never building its missile arsenal again.
  • 00:01:14.664 --> 00:01:17.800
  • Right now, the iranians don't want to do any of it.
  • 00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:20.403
  • And that's an important story. we need to keep covering it.
  • 00:01:20.403 --> 00:01:23.139
  • You can find out more at all
  • 00:01:23.139 --> 00:01:24.374
  • Israel news.com in the moment to moment.
  • 00:01:24.374 --> 00:01:26.276
  • But tonight we have an exclusive interview
  • 00:01:26.276 --> 00:01:28.645
  • With us ambassador to israel, mike huckabee.
  • 00:01:28.645 --> 00:01:32.282
  • Not only president trump's point man here in israel,
  • 00:01:32.282 --> 00:01:35.218
  • But also prior to that, the most influential
  • 00:01:35.218 --> 00:01:39.088
  • And well-respected evangelical christian loving israel,
  • 00:01:39.088 --> 00:01:42.425
  • Defending israel, bringing all kinds of trips to israel.
  • 00:01:42.425 --> 00:01:45.094
  • And that's why president trump chose him
  • 00:01:45.094 --> 00:01:47.497
  • Because of that fusion.
  • 00:01:47.497 --> 00:01:48.598
  • How much mike huckabee knows this country
  • 00:01:48.598 --> 00:01:51.167
  • And knows the importance of the alliance
  • 00:01:51.167 --> 00:01:53.436
  • And the importance of the united states
  • 00:01:53.436 --> 00:01:55.004
  • Defending an ally, any, anywhere in the world, but certainly
  • 00:01:55.004 --> 00:01:59.909
  • The state of israel.
  • 00:02:00.376 --> 00:02:01.277
  • So i want to talk
  • 00:02:01.277 --> 00:02:02.312
  • About a firestorm, a firestorm that's erupting.
  • 00:02:02.312 --> 00:02:04.847
  • Where on the left and on the right,
  • 00:02:04.847 --> 00:02:08.084
  • You've got people that are attacking israel,
  • 00:02:08.084 --> 00:02:10.920
  • The jews, and very important, not just israel and jews.
  • 00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:15.058
  • They're attacking the christians,
  • 00:02:15.058 --> 00:02:16.693
  • The evangelical christians, some call them us
  • 00:02:16.693 --> 00:02:20.530
  • Christians, zionists, christians who love israel and love
  • 00:02:20.530 --> 00:02:24.234
  • The jews and are standing with israel in this seven front,
  • 00:02:24.234 --> 00:02:28.137
  • Eight front war.
  • 00:02:28.137 --> 00:02:28.905
  • Really, this is a big deal
  • 00:02:28.905 --> 00:02:31.407
  • Because what's happening on the left,
  • 00:02:31.407 --> 00:02:33.209
  • But more importantly on the on the the crazies on the right,
  • 00:02:33.209 --> 00:02:36.946
  • Extreme right, tucker carlson, candace owens,
  • 00:02:36.946 --> 00:02:39.682
  • Megan kelly and others, they are firing the political
  • 00:02:39.682 --> 00:02:43.686
  • Equivalent of nuclear cruise missiles
  • 00:02:43.686 --> 00:02:45.922
  • Right at the evangelical christian alliance with israel,
  • 00:02:45.922 --> 00:02:49.158
  • Which means at the alliance between trump
  • 00:02:49.158 --> 00:02:52.895
  • And these evangelical christians.
  • 00:02:52.895 --> 00:02:54.597
  • So nobody,
  • 00:02:54.597 --> 00:02:55.732
  • Nobody better to talk about this than the man who sat
  • 00:02:55.732 --> 00:02:59.502
  • Brutally for more than two hours with tucker carlson,
  • 00:02:59.502 --> 00:03:02.605
  • Trying to explain and speak sense and reason into tucker.
  • 00:03:02.605 --> 00:03:09.045
  • It didn't work.
  • 00:03:09.045 --> 00:03:09.979
  • But mike huckabee, ambassador huckabee,
  • 00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:11.681
  • Thank you for coming on for your first full interview,
  • 00:03:11.681 --> 00:03:14.117
  • Really about that and about this topic
  • 00:03:14.117 --> 00:03:17.153
  • Since that very intense dustup you had with tucker.
  • 00:03:17.153 --> 00:03:21.691
  • Yeah, i tell people, that's two hours of my life
  • 00:03:21.691 --> 00:03:23.760
  • I'll never get back again.
  • 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:25.161
  • It was quite an experience, joel.
  • 00:03:25.161 --> 00:03:27.764
  • You know, because i've known tucker for over 30 years.
  • 00:03:27.764 --> 00:03:30.967
  • One of his first jobs was little rock, arkansas. i worked for.
  • 00:03:30.967 --> 00:03:33.836
  • You were the governor, and he worked for. a paper.
  • 00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:35.505
  • It was actually i was lieutenant governor,
  • 00:03:35.505 --> 00:03:37.206
  • And he was working for the newspaper.
  • 00:03:37.206 --> 00:03:39.242
  • And then i became governor.
  • 00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:40.443
  • He went on to cnn, to msnbc.
  • 00:03:40.443 --> 00:03:42.845
  • I think he did pbs while he's been fired.
  • 00:03:42.845 --> 00:03:45.448
  • Moved around every.
  • 00:03:45.448 --> 00:03:46.449
  • He's pretty much been every network
  • 00:03:46.449 --> 00:03:47.784
  • Been fired from every one of them.
  • 00:03:47.784 --> 00:03:48.985
  • Yeah, i knew him at fox.
  • 00:03:48.985 --> 00:03:50.753
  • We worked together in new york for six
  • 00:03:50.753 --> 00:03:52.455
  • And a half years when i was there.
  • 00:03:52.455 --> 00:03:55.224
  • But the tucker carlson that i'm watching today
  • 00:03:55.224 --> 00:03:58.728
  • Is not recognizable
  • 00:03:59.195 --> 00:04:01.364
  • From the one that i have known all those many years before.
  • 00:04:01.364 --> 00:04:04.701
  • I want to get to the interview.
  • 00:04:04.701 --> 00:04:06.336
  • But he's given other interviews, including just this week,
  • 00:04:06.336 --> 00:04:10.340
  • A two hour interview
  • 00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:11.607
  • With a reporter from the new york times.
  • 00:04:11.607 --> 00:04:14.077
  • Just zooming out for a moment, though, this is a firestorm.
  • 00:04:14.077 --> 00:04:17.146
  • This is the way i'm describing.
  • 00:04:17.146 --> 00:04:18.348
  • It's just it's just a war right now by people on the left,
  • 00:04:18.348 --> 00:04:22.618
  • Mostly actually on the left as well as the right.
  • 00:04:22.618 --> 00:04:25.955
  • But, i mean, you got candace
  • 00:04:25.955 --> 00:04:27.156
  • Owens on the right saying that israel is a demonic nation.
  • 00:04:27.156 --> 00:04:31.661
  • Direct quote hassan piker, one of the most influential
  • 00:04:31.661 --> 00:04:34.964
  • Influencers on the hardcore left that it's endorsing,
  • 00:04:34.964 --> 00:04:40.303
  • Is super close to the new york mayor, the shia muslim,
  • 00:04:40.303 --> 00:04:43.940
  • Zoran mamdani and others campaigning for democrats.
  • 00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:46.642
  • He says hamas is a thousand times better than israel,
  • 00:04:46.642 --> 00:04:50.713
  • And he calls prime minister netanyahu satan-yahoo.
  • 00:04:50.713 --> 00:04:54.183
  • Let's start with the most explosive thing
  • 00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:56.319
  • That tucker has said in recent days,
  • 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.521
  • And that suggesting that president trump is
  • 00:04:58.521 --> 00:05:01.257
  • The antichrist.
  • 00:05:01.257 --> 00:05:02.325
  • You've been talking on your show about
  • 00:05:02.325 --> 00:05:03.760
  • Whether trump is the antichrist.
  • 00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:05.762
  • I have not said that.
  • 00:05:05.762 --> 00:05:07.063
  • On your show the day after easter, you noted
  • 00:05:07.063 --> 00:05:09.665
  • He did not put his hand on the bible during his swearing
  • 00:05:09.665 --> 00:05:12.135
  • In ceremony as president.
  • 00:05:12.135 --> 00:05:13.636
  • You said, and i'm quoting,
  • 00:05:13.636 --> 00:05:14.937
  • Maybe he didn't put his hand on the bible
  • 00:05:14.937 --> 00:05:16.572
  • Because he affirmatively rejects what's inside that book.
  • 00:05:16.572 --> 00:05:19.208
  • And then on a recent show, you went further
  • 00:05:19.208 --> 00:05:21.377
  • Saying, here's a leader who's mocking
  • 00:05:21.377 --> 00:05:22.945
  • The gods of his ancestors, mocking the god of gods
  • 00:05:22.945 --> 00:05:25.314
  • And exalting himself above them.
  • 00:05:25.314 --> 00:05:27.183
  • Could this be the antichrist?
  • 00:05:27.183 --> 00:05:29.852
  • I actually did not say, could this be the antichrist?
  • 00:05:29.852 --> 00:05:32.622
  • Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors,
  • 00:05:32.622 --> 00:05:36.959
  • Mocking the god of gods and exalting himself above them.
  • 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.330
  • Could this be the antichrist?
  • 00:05:41.330 --> 00:05:44.000
  • Well who knows?
  • 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.702
  • I don't know where that comes from,
  • 00:05:46.702 --> 00:05:47.970
  • But i know that those words never left my lips
  • 00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:50.039
  • Because i'm not sure i fully understand
  • 00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:52.408
  • What the antichrist is if there's just one.
  • 00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:54.844
  • I actually tried to understand it.
  • 00:05:54.844 --> 00:05:56.846
  • It's really bizarre because the internet lives forever.
  • 00:05:56.846 --> 00:06:00.416
  • Those words that tucker said have been played back,
  • 00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:04.253
  • And anyone can go on any social media platform
  • 00:06:04.253 --> 00:06:07.089
  • And see him saying the very thing that he said.
  • 00:06:07.089 --> 00:06:09.926
  • He didn't say, i. got a theory on this already.
  • 00:06:09.926 --> 00:06:12.895
  • I mean, meaning he it's possible.
  • 00:06:12.895 --> 00:06:15.097
  • He forgot possible.
  • 00:06:15.097 --> 00:06:16.399
  • His mind is so clouded.
  • 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.334
  • I have another theory, which is that he's an evil genius.
  • 00:06:18.334 --> 00:06:22.138
  • He's been in media
  • 00:06:22.138 --> 00:06:23.172
  • For 30 plus years by saying he didn't say it.
  • 00:06:23.172 --> 00:06:26.943
  • He got the new york times to replay the clip.
  • 00:06:26.943 --> 00:06:29.812
  • And media all over the world, certainly social media
  • 00:06:29.812 --> 00:06:33.015
  • Is replaying the clip in order.
  • 00:06:33.015 --> 00:06:34.617
  • In other words,
  • 00:06:34.617 --> 00:06:35.718
  • To magnify the concept that president trump is not just
  • 00:06:35.718 --> 00:06:39.255
  • Evil and a betrayer.
  • 00:06:39.255 --> 00:06:40.523
  • And we'll get to some of the other things
  • 00:06:40.523 --> 00:06:41.858
  • He said, but is the most evil and powerful and omniscient
  • 00:06:41.858 --> 00:06:45.795
  • And all powerful man on the planet, some sort of
  • 00:06:45.795 --> 00:06:48.698
  • Genie from aladdin. like,
  • 00:06:48.698 --> 00:06:51.167
  • This is what this is, what's happening?
  • 00:06:51.968 --> 00:06:53.369
  • Well, it's interesting because tucker carlson was
  • 00:06:53.369 --> 00:06:57.306
  • A huge fan of president trump, campaigned for him with him
  • 00:06:57.306 --> 00:07:02.445
  • Regularly, went to the white house
  • 00:07:02.445 --> 00:07:04.180
  • To hang out and to sit down and chat with him.
  • 00:07:04.180 --> 00:07:07.617
  • And suddenly he says president trump could be the antichrist.
  • 00:07:07.617 --> 00:07:11.487
  • Now, here's the real issue.
  • 00:07:11.487 --> 00:07:13.890
  • President trump hasn't changed.
  • 00:07:13.890 --> 00:07:15.658
  • I've known him since 2011 or 2010.
  • 00:07:15.658 --> 00:07:19.896
  • He really is the same person.
  • 00:07:20.530 --> 00:07:22.198
  • And if you listen to things that
  • 00:07:22.198 --> 00:07:23.499
  • He has said even about iran, even about america,
  • 00:07:23.499 --> 00:07:27.737
  • Entrepreneurial act,
  • 00:07:27.737 --> 00:07:28.804
  • Whatever, he's still saying the same things
  • 00:07:28.804 --> 00:07:30.940
  • That he was saying 45 years ago.
  • 00:07:30.940 --> 00:07:32.842
  • This is the same guy.
  • 00:07:32.842 --> 00:07:34.944
  • Tucker carlson, on the other hand,
  • 00:07:34.944 --> 00:07:36.445
  • Is saying very different things.
  • 00:07:36.445 --> 00:07:37.880
  • So if someone has had a dramatic change in
  • 00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:41.484
  • Not just personality, but a dramatic change in worldview,
  • 00:07:41.484 --> 00:07:44.820
  • It's not donald trump, it's tucker carlson.
  • 00:07:44.820 --> 00:07:47.857
  • That's the hard part to explain.
  • 00:07:47.857 --> 00:07:50.159
  • Why has he had such a complete transformation of his worldview?
  • 00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:56.532
  • And that's really what we're looking at, is somebody
  • 00:07:56.532 --> 00:07:59.936
  • Who is unrecognizable from those of us who have known him.
  • 00:07:59.936 --> 00:08:03.773
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:08:03.773 --> 00:08:06.342
  • Why does tucker carlson accused president
  • 00:08:06.342 --> 00:08:08.678
  • Trump of being the evil and all powerful anti-christ?
  • 00:08:08.678 --> 00:08:12.448
  • On the one hand, yet also a slave and a hostage of israeli
  • 00:08:12.448 --> 00:08:16.719
  • On the others.
  • 00:08:17.053 --> 00:08:18.020
  • And why is tucker filled with so much hate
  • 00:08:18.020 --> 00:08:20.222
  • For evangelicals who love israel
  • 00:08:20.222 --> 00:08:22.491
  • Based on our faith in the scriptures?
  • 00:08:22.491 --> 00:08:24.527
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:08:24.527 --> 00:08:28.364
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:08:28.364 --> 00:08:32.001
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:08:32.001 --> 00:08:35.305
  • So tucker has called president trump.
  • 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.742
  • In the new york times interview in recent weeks.
  • 00:08:38.742 --> 00:08:41.144
  • Since he saw you,
  • 00:08:41.144 --> 00:08:42.346
  • He's called him evil, a betrayer of the united states betrayer,
  • 00:08:42.346 --> 00:08:46.683
  • Putting israel's interest first, not america first.
  • 00:08:46.683 --> 00:08:50.120
  • Tucker, also in the new york times
  • 00:08:50.854 --> 00:08:52.322
  • Interview, said that president trump is spellbinding.
  • 00:08:52.322 --> 00:08:55.225
  • There is a kind of quality that he has that's spellbinding,
  • 00:08:55.225 --> 00:08:58.161
  • And i think it probably literally is.
  • 00:08:58.161 --> 00:08:59.663
  • A spell, and the effect is to weaken people around him
  • 00:08:59.663 --> 00:09:04.935
  • And make them more compliant and more confused.
  • 00:09:04.935 --> 00:09:07.437
  • And i've experienced this myself.
  • 00:09:07.437 --> 00:09:08.805
  • You spend a day with trump and sort of
  • 00:09:08.805 --> 00:09:10.574
  • Like you're in this kind of dreamland.
  • 00:09:10.574 --> 00:09:12.576
  • It's like smoking hash or something.
  • 00:09:12.576 --> 00:09:13.844
  • It's interesting, very interesting,
  • 00:09:13.844 --> 00:09:15.445
  • And there may be a supernatural component to it.
  • 00:09:15.445 --> 00:09:17.381
  • I'm not a theologian, but it's real,
  • 00:09:17.381 --> 00:09:19.082
  • And anyone who's been around him can tell you it's real.
  • 00:09:19.082 --> 00:09:20.784
  • So on the one hand,
  • 00:09:20.784 --> 00:09:23.954
  • Tucker is is accusing the
  • 00:09:24.521 --> 00:09:26.089
  • President of being sort of all powerful, super evil.
  • 00:09:26.089 --> 00:09:29.159
  • And and everybody is under a spell by him.
  • 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.129
  • But then he went on to say
  • 00:09:32.129 --> 00:09:35.799
  • That president trump is a slave to prime minister
  • 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.202
  • Netanyahu, that president trump is a hostage.
  • 00:09:39.202 --> 00:09:42.305
  • Pretty, pretty hard words.
  • 00:09:42.305 --> 00:09:43.874
  • When we had dealt with 250 hostages, a hostage
  • 00:09:43.874 --> 00:09:47.544
  • To bibi netanyahu, that trump didn't want to go to war, but
  • 00:09:47.544 --> 00:09:51.682
  • But was sort of forced into it by israel.
  • 00:09:51.682 --> 00:09:55.919
  • You said he's a hostage just now.
  • 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.922
  • You told the bbc he's a slave to foreign interest, correct?
  • 00:09:58.922 --> 00:10:02.359
  • So i just want to ask you to be sort of explicit.
  • 00:10:02.359 --> 00:10:04.361
  • I mean, trump is being held hostage.
  • 00:10:04.361 --> 00:10:05.896
  • By whom? by who?
  • 00:10:05.896 --> 00:10:09.266
  • And by his many advocates in the united states.
  • 00:10:09.266 --> 00:10:12.836
  • So which is it?
  • 00:10:12.836 --> 00:10:13.770
  • Is trump
  • 00:10:13.770 --> 00:10:14.938
  • The all powerful anti-christ evil put people in spells?
  • 00:10:14.938 --> 00:10:17.874
  • Or is he a slave to netanyahu and the israeli government?
  • 00:10:17.874 --> 00:10:22.979
  • The truth is, he can't be both.
  • 00:10:22.979 --> 00:10:24.381
  • He's got to be one or the other, or he has to be neither one.
  • 00:10:24.381 --> 00:10:26.516
  • I think he's neither one.
  • 00:10:26.516 --> 00:10:27.884
  • I was in the room when the meeting between
  • 00:10:27.884 --> 00:10:30.921
  • The prime minister netanyahu and the president took place.
  • 00:10:30.921 --> 00:10:34.958
  • It was at the white house.
  • 00:10:34.958 --> 00:10:36.460
  • There were two parts of the meeting, and i can tell
  • 00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:39.763
  • You president trump was not pulled in.
  • 00:10:39.763 --> 00:10:43.266
  • He was not led.
  • 00:10:43.266 --> 00:10:44.601
  • He was not somehow persuaded.
  • 00:10:44.601 --> 00:10:48.338
  • Evidence was presented.
  • 00:10:48.338 --> 00:10:49.639
  • It was a thorough discussion.
  • 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.175
  • President trump made up his own mind.
  • 00:10:52.175 --> 00:10:53.777
  • And anybody who's ever been around him knows you don't
  • 00:10:53.777 --> 00:10:57.214
  • Grab president trump by the nose and we'll him along.
  • 00:10:57.214 --> 00:11:01.218
  • It's not how he operates.
  • 00:11:01.218 --> 00:11:02.919
  • He's a very decisive person.
  • 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:04.821
  • He's he's had some dust ups
  • 00:11:04.821 --> 00:11:06.123
  • With netanyahu in the past where they disagreed at times.
  • 00:11:06.123 --> 00:11:10.494
  • This is many years.
  • 00:11:10.494 --> 00:11:11.762
  • Ago, but it's also because they have such a close relationship,
  • 00:11:11.762 --> 00:11:15.499
  • A very close
  • 00:11:15.499 --> 00:11:16.700
  • Relationship on a personal, not just a diplomatic level,
  • 00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:20.437
  • That they're able to be honest with each other.
  • 00:11:20.437 --> 00:11:22.839
  • And that's one of the reasons that i think
  • 00:11:22.839 --> 00:11:25.475
  • It's such an important relationship, because there is
  • 00:11:25.475 --> 00:11:30.046
  • Honesty, candor, but there's trust.
  • 00:11:30.046 --> 00:11:34.017
  • There's real trust between the two of them,
  • 00:11:34.017 --> 00:11:36.219
  • Something that you don't see in world leaders that often.
  • 00:11:36.219 --> 00:11:39.122
  • That's true.
  • 00:11:39.122 --> 00:11:40.123
  • The new york times interviewer asked tucker.
  • 00:11:40.123 --> 00:11:42.626
  • So, so what has changed,
  • 00:11:42.626 --> 00:11:44.661
  • Tucker, you're making the case that for ten years,
  • 00:11:44.661 --> 00:11:47.130
  • President trump was sort of railing
  • 00:11:47.130 --> 00:11:48.565
  • Against the decision in in by president george h.
  • 00:11:48.565 --> 00:11:52.636
  • George w bush to go into iraq, a regime change war in iraq
  • 00:11:52.636 --> 00:11:56.139
  • Over weapons of mass destruction
  • 00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:57.774
  • Or the fear that they would be there.
  • 00:11:57.774 --> 00:12:00.277
  • So what's changed?
  • 00:12:00.277 --> 00:12:01.812
  • And tucker said, i don't know.
  • 00:12:01.812 --> 00:12:03.213
  • That's what i'm trying to figure out.
  • 00:12:03.213 --> 00:12:04.614
  • What changed is true, that president trump
  • 00:12:04.614 --> 00:12:08.518
  • Would seem like an unlikely guy president
  • 00:12:08.518 --> 00:12:11.721
  • To go into this operation epic fury with iran.
  • 00:12:11.721 --> 00:12:17.093
  • But but something did change.
  • 00:12:17.093 --> 00:12:19.496
  • What's the thing that changed?
  • 00:12:19.496 --> 00:12:21.298
  • It was that
  • 00:12:21.298 --> 00:12:21.898
  • Iran has for 47 years
  • 00:12:21.898 --> 00:12:23.400
  • Threatened that they were going to take america down,
  • 00:12:23.400 --> 00:12:25.936
  • And they have had the ambition to have a nuclear weapon
  • 00:12:25.936 --> 00:12:29.406
  • In which to do it.
  • 00:12:29.406 --> 00:12:30.740
  • When they have gotten as close as they now have,
  • 00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:34.211
  • When they had enough
  • 00:12:34.211 --> 00:12:35.345
  • Uranium that they could make bombs, 10 or 11 of them.
  • 00:12:35.345 --> 00:12:39.549
  • The president
  • 00:12:39.916 --> 00:12:40.951
  • Realized that this was now a clear and present
  • 00:12:40.951 --> 00:12:44.888
  • Danger to the united states of america and its people.
  • 00:12:44.888 --> 00:12:48.091
  • The facts that changed everything
  • 00:12:48.091 --> 00:12:51.061
  • That trump had been warning about got to the point 11,
  • 00:12:51.061 --> 00:12:54.931
  • 10 or 11 bombs worth of nuclear fuel ready to go.
  • 00:12:54.931 --> 00:13:00.403
  • President trump tried to negotiate that out
  • 00:13:00.403 --> 00:13:03.974
  • By steve wycoff and jared kushner going
  • 00:13:03.974 --> 00:13:06.576
  • Sitting with the iranians,
  • 00:13:06.576 --> 00:13:07.811
  • Giving them every opportunity to make a peaceful settlement.
  • 00:13:07.811 --> 00:13:09.946
  • But basically, steve wyckoff told us all
  • 00:13:09.946 --> 00:13:13.884
  • The iranians were bragging that they had 11 nuclear bombs worth
  • 00:13:15.085 --> 00:13:18.455
  • And that they were not giving trump through negotiations
  • 00:13:18.455 --> 00:13:22.225
  • What he couldn't get from the 12 day war last year.
  • 00:13:22.225 --> 00:13:24.794
  • So it seems like the facts that changed to the point
  • 00:13:24.794 --> 00:13:28.865
  • That president trump realized,
  • 00:13:28.865 --> 00:13:30.166
  • I have to make good on my promises to keep americans
  • 00:13:30.166 --> 00:13:34.738
  • Safe, as well as our allies, including israel
  • 00:13:34.738 --> 00:13:38.275
  • From iran.
  • 00:13:38.575 --> 00:13:39.376
  • And yet.
  • 00:13:39.376 --> 00:13:40.644
  • Yet tucker seems to see this
  • 00:13:40.644 --> 00:13:42.245
  • As as an israeli bibi netanyahu led conspiracy theory.
  • 00:13:42.245 --> 00:13:46.016
  • President trump
  • 00:13:46.016 --> 00:13:46.917
  • Saw things as they were, and that is that
  • 00:13:46.917 --> 00:13:48.885
  • This was no longer a threat just to israel.
  • 00:13:48.885 --> 00:13:51.488
  • It was a threat to the united states of america.
  • 00:13:51.488 --> 00:13:54.491
  • He saw it accurately for 47 years.
  • 00:13:54.491 --> 00:13:57.661
  • Iran has said that israel was the little satan.
  • 00:13:57.661 --> 00:14:00.330
  • We were the great satan.
  • 00:14:00.330 --> 00:14:01.798
  • Basically, iran has always viewed
  • 00:14:01.798 --> 00:14:03.800
  • Israel as the appetizer, but america was the entree.
  • 00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:06.836
  • And when he recognized that the threat had grown
  • 00:14:06.836 --> 00:14:10.540
  • To a place that it was now
  • 00:14:10.540 --> 00:14:12.042
  • More imminent,
  • 00:14:12.042 --> 00:14:13.276
  • I'm not saying they could push the button and send it today,
  • 00:14:13.276 --> 00:14:16.246
  • But this was growing at a rate that was alarming.
  • 00:14:16.246 --> 00:14:19.582
  • And the president, as you mentioned,
  • 00:14:19.582 --> 00:14:21.484
  • Has said this for 45 years.
  • 00:14:21.484 --> 00:14:23.853
  • This is not something he just started thinking about.
  • 00:14:23.853 --> 00:14:26.690
  • Would he like to have stayed out
  • 00:14:26.690 --> 00:14:28.325
  • Of a connecticut action militarily?
  • 00:14:28.325 --> 00:14:30.460
  • Of course he would have.
  • 00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:31.695
  • That's why he went above and beyond on the negotiating front.
  • 00:14:31.695 --> 00:14:35.598
  • But joel, the reality is, when diplomacy fails,
  • 00:14:35.598 --> 00:14:39.202
  • You call in the military and the president.
  • 00:14:39.202 --> 00:14:42.038
  • If you remember back, how many weeks
  • 00:14:42.038 --> 00:14:44.240
  • Did we go through this
  • 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:45.475
  • Negotiating posture, trying to bring some level of solution?
  • 00:14:45.475 --> 00:14:49.145
  • It didn't happen.
  • 00:14:49.145 --> 00:14:50.380
  • And when it became apparent that it was not going to happen,
  • 00:14:50.380 --> 00:14:53.850
  • That the iranians were hell bent on having a nuclear device
  • 00:14:53.850 --> 00:14:57.287
  • And the capacity to deliver it to the united states,
  • 00:14:57.287 --> 00:15:01.291
  • The president took action and had nothing to do with him
  • 00:15:01.291 --> 00:15:04.294
  • Trying to protect the state of israel.
  • 00:15:04.294 --> 00:15:06.396
  • Although he loves israel
  • 00:15:06.396 --> 00:15:07.764
  • And understands the value of our partnership.
  • 00:15:07.764 --> 00:15:11.568
  • And it certainly wasn't because he was lured into it
  • 00:15:11.568 --> 00:15:15.205
  • By prime minister netanyahu.
  • 00:15:15.205 --> 00:15:17.640
  • It was because, as president, an america first president,
  • 00:15:17.640 --> 00:15:21.544
  • He recognized that this was
  • 00:15:21.544 --> 00:15:23.179
  • A growing threat to the people of america,
  • 00:15:23.179 --> 00:15:26.916
  • Not just to the people of israel.
  • 00:15:26.916 --> 00:15:29.185
  • Something interesting i didn't realize.
  • 00:15:29.185 --> 00:15:30.887
  • And i've i've come in and out of israel since 1987.
  • 00:15:30.887 --> 00:15:34.958
  • We are now dual citizens.
  • 00:15:34.958 --> 00:15:37.327
  • You and i were at a meeting
  • 00:15:37.927 --> 00:15:39.162
  • With a number of evangelicals that you were sharing with.
  • 00:15:39.162 --> 00:15:42.399
  • I was sharing with and you said a number i had never heard,
  • 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:47.337
  • And i want to just confirm it on the record
  • 00:15:47.337 --> 00:15:50.673
  • That there are 700,000 american citizens.
  • 00:15:50.673 --> 00:15:54.577
  • Some of them are dual u.s.
  • 00:15:54.577 --> 00:15:56.780
  • Citizens, but others are working here
  • 00:15:56.780 --> 00:15:58.248
  • Or but they're living in israel right now.
  • 00:15:58.248 --> 00:16:01.284
  • Is that an accurate number? 700,000.
  • 00:16:01.284 --> 00:16:03.253
  • Absolutely accurate.
  • 00:16:03.253 --> 00:16:04.287
  • It's israel.
  • 00:16:04.287 --> 00:16:05.488
  • Israel is second only to mexico in the number of americans
  • 00:16:05.488 --> 00:16:08.691
  • Who are living.
  • 00:16:08.691 --> 00:16:09.893
  • So one would think, right logically that tucker carlson
  • 00:16:09.893 --> 00:16:14.697
  • Or anybody else who cares about america first would think, if
  • 00:16:14.697 --> 00:16:19.302
  • Not just the american homeland and american military bases
  • 00:16:19.302 --> 00:16:22.605
  • And american economic interests in the middle east, or again,
  • 00:16:22.605 --> 00:16:25.842
  • In the homeland,
  • 00:16:25.842 --> 00:16:27.010
  • Were threatened by a country that's been saying for 47
  • 00:16:27.010 --> 00:16:29.746
  • Years, death to america.
  • 00:16:29.746 --> 00:16:30.980
  • It's not they're not they're not shy about their ambitions.
  • 00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:34.617
  • You would think that if if a country
  • 00:16:34.617 --> 00:16:36.419
  • Were 700,000 americans lived, was not just being
  • 00:16:36.419 --> 00:16:39.656
  • Threatened by nuclear warfare, a second holocaust,
  • 00:16:39.656 --> 00:16:42.625
  • But actually had been under attack for two and a half years,
  • 00:16:42.625 --> 00:16:46.663
  • In which 46 americans were murdered
  • 00:16:46.663 --> 00:16:50.400
  • On october 7th, 46 and 12 americans were taken hostage.
  • 00:16:50.400 --> 00:16:54.304
  • You would think that an american first policy
  • 00:16:54.304 --> 00:16:56.906
  • Would not only need to be fending americans back home,
  • 00:16:56.906 --> 00:17:00.610
  • But americans in the region, including here in israel.
  • 00:17:00.610 --> 00:17:03.713
  • How does this how do we as americans not merit
  • 00:17:03.713 --> 00:17:07.884
  • The protection of our of our president back in washington?
  • 00:17:07.884 --> 00:17:11.488
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report, don't
  • 00:17:11.488 --> 00:17:14.124
  • Miss the rest of my conversation with ambassador huckabee.
  • 00:17:14.124 --> 00:17:17.193
  • What's fueling this firestorm of hatred
  • 00:17:17.193 --> 00:17:19.462
  • Against israel, jews and evangelical christians?
  • 00:17:19.462 --> 00:17:22.665
  • Why are tucker
  • 00:17:22.665 --> 00:17:23.600
  • And so many others determined to blow up
  • 00:17:23.600 --> 00:17:25.835
  • The evangelical alliance with israel?
  • 00:17:25.835 --> 00:17:28.404
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:17:28.404 --> 00:17:32.142
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:17:32.142 --> 00:17:35.009
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:17:35.009 --> 00:17:39.416
  • Your easter episode
  • 00:17:39.884 --> 00:17:41.385
  • Was titled, in part, a warning to christians everywhere.
  • 00:17:41.385 --> 00:17:44.522
  • And and so my interpretation was that you were warning
  • 00:17:44.522 --> 00:17:47.224
  • Other christians sort of not to follow a false prophet.
  • 00:17:47.224 --> 00:17:49.793
  • Yes, that's exactly what i'm warning.
  • 00:17:49.793 --> 00:17:52.396
  • And that false prophet being president trump in this case.
  • 00:17:52.396 --> 00:17:55.866
  • And netanyahu.
  • 00:17:55.866 --> 00:17:56.901
  • He doesn't..
  • 00:17:56.901 --> 00:17:57.902
  • Carlson doesn't just hate israel and the jews.
  • 00:17:57.902 --> 00:17:59.570
  • He is he hates.
  • 00:17:59.570 --> 00:18:00.938
  • He says.
  • 00:18:00.938 --> 00:18:01.939
  • He's apologized to you and ted cruz and others.
  • 00:18:01.939 --> 00:18:04.441
  • But but the
  • 00:18:04.441 --> 00:18:06.410
  • You know, the actions suggest the fruit of the tree suggests
  • 00:18:06.410 --> 00:18:09.780
  • He not only hates
  • 00:18:09.780 --> 00:18:10.981
  • Evangelical christians who love israel, but he is.
  • 00:18:10.981 --> 00:18:13.851
  • He is aiming for us to try to blow up this
  • 00:18:13.851 --> 00:18:18.756
  • This relationship, this warmth, this love between evangelicals
  • 00:18:18.756 --> 00:18:23.160
  • Who look at the bible and say, yeah, that's what it says.
  • 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.262
  • That's what it means. god loves israel.
  • 00:18:25.262 --> 00:18:26.931
  • We should love israel.
  • 00:18:26.931 --> 00:18:28.032
  • It doesn't mean we have to agree with every decision
  • 00:18:28.032 --> 00:18:29.567
  • That prime minister netanyahu or any israeli makes.
  • 00:18:29.567 --> 00:18:32.136
  • But this is his focus.
  • 00:18:32.136 --> 00:18:34.972
  • Am i am i misreading this?
  • 00:18:35.539 --> 00:18:36.941
  • And if that's accurate,
  • 00:18:36.941 --> 00:18:39.977
  • What are your recommendations to americans
  • 00:18:39.977 --> 00:18:42.246
  • Generally and american christians at this hour?
  • 00:18:42.246 --> 00:18:45.282
  • Well, when we did our interview, he because he was face to face
  • 00:18:45.282 --> 00:18:49.486
  • With me, apologize
  • 00:18:49.486 --> 00:18:50.721
  • For saying i had a brain virus and that i was worse than anyone
  • 00:18:50.721 --> 00:18:53.724
  • In the world.
  • 00:18:53.724 --> 00:18:54.592
  • Then in the new york times interview,
  • 00:18:54.592 --> 00:18:55.960
  • He comes along and says that he
  • 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:58.395
  • Thought that the nick fuentes interview
  • 00:18:58.395 --> 00:19:00.331
  • Was better than talking to me, that he
  • 00:19:00.331 --> 00:19:03.968
  • He despised me more than he did nick, which.
  • 00:19:03.968 --> 00:19:06.971
  • I thought a neo-nazi who praises hitler as cool.
  • 00:19:06.971 --> 00:19:10.608
  • And thought that churchill was the evil guy of world war two.
  • 00:19:10.608 --> 00:19:14.011
  • I think two things. holocaust denier.
  • 00:19:14.011 --> 00:19:15.946
  • Yeah, to answer your question, two things.
  • 00:19:15.946 --> 00:19:17.481
  • First of all, we have to look at this.
  • 00:19:17.481 --> 00:19:19.049
  • This is a spiritual problem with tucker.
  • 00:19:19.049 --> 00:19:21.185
  • This isn't just political.
  • 00:19:21.185 --> 00:19:22.853
  • This is spiritual.
  • 00:19:22.853 --> 00:19:24.021
  • Anyone who accuses someone else of being an anti-christ
  • 00:19:24.021 --> 00:19:27.558
  • Without any evidence that that brand's
  • 00:19:27.558 --> 00:19:30.794
  • Evil is good and good is evil, that's a spiritual issue.
  • 00:19:30.794 --> 00:19:34.064
  • But the second takeaway from all of this is that
  • 00:19:34.064 --> 00:19:38.335
  • Tucker has labeled things so horribly.
  • 00:19:38.335 --> 00:19:43.841
  • He, for example,
  • 00:19:43.841 --> 00:19:45.075
  • Made the statement of the new york times
  • 00:19:45.075 --> 00:19:46.477
  • Interview that i advocated for the murder of children.
  • 00:19:46.477 --> 00:19:50.414
  • And i'm thinking, tucker, i, i can be accused
  • 00:19:50.414 --> 00:19:53.851
  • Of a lot of things, but that's not one of them.
  • 00:19:53.851 --> 00:19:57.154
  • There's no basis for that.
  • 00:19:57.154 --> 00:19:58.555
  • So why does he say things that are so outrageous?
  • 00:19:58.555 --> 00:20:01.125
  • Is it because he's trying to convince other people,
  • 00:20:01.125 --> 00:20:04.261
  • Or is he trying to convince himself
  • 00:20:04.261 --> 00:20:06.297
  • That these radical views
  • 00:20:06.297 --> 00:20:07.531
  • That he has taken, that he can somehow justify them?
  • 00:20:07.531 --> 00:20:10.734
  • And i think if you go back to it.
  • 00:20:10.734 --> 00:20:12.836
  • That's a spiritual dilemma for him.
  • 00:20:12.836 --> 00:20:16.206
  • And that's why i'm not mad at him.
  • 00:20:16.206 --> 00:20:19.143
  • I don't hate him. i feel for him.
  • 00:20:19.143 --> 00:20:22.079
  • I want him to find himself.
  • 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.714
  • I want him to find the true god.
  • 00:20:23.714 --> 00:20:25.849
  • I want him to come back to a place where this whatever
  • 00:20:25.849 --> 00:20:29.753
  • Is troubling him deep within his soul is resolved.
  • 00:20:29.753 --> 00:20:33.524
  • Because i look at him not with the sense of anger.
  • 00:20:33.524 --> 00:20:37.261
  • I look at him with an extraordin sense of of pity and
  • 00:20:37.261 --> 00:20:42.900
  • Agony that he has.
  • 00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:44.535
  • I use the term he is now circling the drain.
  • 00:20:44.535 --> 00:20:49.373
  • We've got an end.
  • 00:20:49.807 --> 00:20:50.874
  • I just want to thank you for having the interview
  • 00:20:50.874 --> 00:20:54.178
  • With tucker, being willing to sit,
  • 00:20:54.178 --> 00:20:56.814
  • And because that was what we all thought or hoped,
  • 00:20:56.814 --> 00:21:00.784
  • At least i did,
  • 00:21:00.784 --> 00:21:01.785
  • Was that these were going to be two old friends
  • 00:21:01.785 --> 00:21:04.154
  • Sitting and talking in a rational, logical way about.
  • 00:21:04.154 --> 00:21:07.858
  • Sincere disagreements.
  • 00:21:07.858 --> 00:21:09.259
  • Like, you know,
  • 00:21:09.259 --> 00:21:10.194
  • A christian doesn't have to be a zionist
  • 00:21:10.194 --> 00:21:12.730
  • To be a follower of jesus christ.
  • 00:21:12.730 --> 00:21:14.164
  • I prefer if they were, but it's not absolutely
  • 00:21:14.164 --> 00:21:17.000
  • Theologically essential.
  • 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:18.001
  • But this was a prosecution of israel, of jews,
  • 00:21:18.001 --> 00:21:21.972
  • Of evangelicals, and of you.
  • 00:21:21.972 --> 00:21:23.374
  • He was accusing you of being a disloyal ambassador
  • 00:21:23.374 --> 00:21:26.210
  • To the united states,
  • 00:21:26.210 --> 00:21:27.044
  • And he was accusing the president
  • 00:21:27.044 --> 00:21:27.978
  • Of the united states of betraying
  • 00:21:27.978 --> 00:21:30.848
  • Not just his political movement, but the country.
  • 00:21:30.848 --> 00:21:32.916
  • And and he was accusing israel of the most wicked
  • 00:21:32.916 --> 00:21:38.155
  • Sexual deviance and protecting sexual predators,
  • 00:21:38.155 --> 00:21:42.760
  • Molesters of children in the united states.
  • 00:21:42.760 --> 00:21:44.361
  • They can run here and be safe.
  • 00:21:44.361 --> 00:21:46.063
  • You. that was another case that you looked into
  • 00:21:46.063 --> 00:21:48.866
  • And said, this is completely not true.
  • 00:21:48.866 --> 00:21:50.501
  • And you walked through the facts.
  • 00:21:50.501 --> 00:21:51.835
  • So thank you.
  • 00:21:51.835 --> 00:21:53.804
  • Not for defending israel or jews, but defending
  • 00:21:53.804 --> 00:21:56.874
  • The american alliance with israel
  • 00:21:57.641 --> 00:22:00.577
  • And doing it as an evangelical. thank you.
  • 00:22:00.577 --> 00:22:03.313
  • I just want to say you did such an excellent job.
  • 00:22:03.313 --> 00:22:06.283
  • I don't know
  • 00:22:06.283 --> 00:22:07.418
  • Any other evangelical that would have had the patience
  • 00:22:07.418 --> 00:22:10.487
  • As well as the knowledge and the skill.
  • 00:22:10.487 --> 00:22:13.724
  • You handled it well and, and and in many ways
  • 00:22:13.724 --> 00:22:17.261
  • He really exposed himself as how much he hates
  • 00:22:17.261 --> 00:22:20.731
  • Christians, jews and israel and the president.
  • 00:22:20.731 --> 00:22:24.635
  • That's why we need to pray for him.
  • 00:22:24.635 --> 00:22:25.903
  • So sad. exactly. please pray for tucker carlson.
  • 00:22:25.903 --> 00:22:28.705
  • Please pray for this ambassador.
  • 00:22:28.705 --> 00:22:30.007
  • I'm so grateful for him.
  • 00:22:30.007 --> 00:22:31.275
  • Thank you so much for watching.
  • 00:22:31.275 --> 00:22:33.644
  • We're so grateful.
  • 00:22:33.644 --> 00:22:34.445
  • We're going to put
  • 00:22:34.445 --> 00:22:35.078
  • All the material that we can't
  • 00:22:35.078 --> 00:22:36.814
  • Put in this show tonight because we went long.
  • 00:22:36.814 --> 00:22:40.717
  • We're going to put that on youtube
  • 00:22:40.717 --> 00:22:42.019
  • So you can watch the entire interview in full.
  • 00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:44.922
  • Thank you so much for watching.
  • 00:22:44.922 --> 00:22:46.223
  • Have a great week.
  • 00:22:46.223 --> 00:22:47.024
  • Keep praying for the united states,
  • 00:22:47.024 --> 00:22:48.826
  • For the president, for the leaders of israel,
  • 00:22:48.826 --> 00:22:51.128
  • And for everyone who lives in
  • 00:22:51.128 --> 00:22:52.596
  • This tehran to tell aviv corridor,
  • 00:22:52.596 --> 00:22:54.998
  • Because this is a dangerous moment
  • 00:22:54.998 --> 00:22:57.100
  • And we need absolute,
  • 00:22:57.100 --> 00:22:58.302
  • Total victory over these wicked enemies.
  • 00:22:58.302 --> 00:23:01.405
  • And we need protection for americans
  • 00:23:01.405 --> 00:23:03.273
  • As well as israelis and our emirati friends
  • 00:23:03.273 --> 00:23:05.375
  • And others in the gulf and the lebanese people.
  • 00:23:05.375 --> 00:23:07.678
  • We need liberation for them from hezbollah and iran.
  • 00:23:07.678 --> 00:23:10.781
  • Thank you.
  • 00:23:10.781 --> 00:23:11.248
  • Have a great week.
  • 00:23:11.248 --> 00:23:12.249
  • As you walk with the lord jesus christ
  • 00:23:12.249 --> 00:23:13.884
  • In the power of the holy spirit.
  • 00:23:13.884 --> 00:23:15.252
  • And lord willing,
  • 00:23:15.252 --> 00:23:16.487
  • I'll see you next week right here on the rosenberg report.
  • 00:23:16.487 --> 00:23:16.487
