تاكر يواجه مايك هاكابي بشأن علاقة أمريكا السامة مع إسرائيل

We're about to play you an interview we did with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabe two days ago in Israel . In general, it's never worth talking about the backstory behind an interview . It's kind of not the point . It makes it about the interviewer, not the person being interviewed for one thing . For another, it's not that interesting most of the time . Um, and for another, it's kind of off the record . you know, the other person hasn't consented to you telling the story . So, in general, we don't do that. Who'd want to hear that ? Let the interview speak for itself . But in this case, we want to tell you just a few things about how this interview came about because they are pretty interesting, revealing, and now weirdly relevant apparently . So, this interview with Mike Huckabe came about a couple of weeks ago um on Twitter . One of our producers showed me, he said something to the effect of , "You're talking to Middle Eastern Christians, Tucker Carlson . Maybe you should talk to me. And I paused for a minute . I thought in the past about trying to interview Mike Huckabe , whom I've known for over 30 years and worked adjacent to at Fox and I had mixed feelings about it . Um, mostly because it's hard if you're me to interview Mike Huckabe because of just the personal affect . to my cuckabe is jovial, comes off as friendly . He's a grandfather when annoyed . I can be nasty in interviews . And so it's it takes a lot of self-control to interview someone like Mike Huckabe . Not not cuz I hate him, but because it's hard to ask him tough questions and not come off as a jerk, which I often am . So, but I thought in this case, yeah, I should definitely do this. Um, for a bunch of different reasons . mainly the United States is moving toward a big war , a real war with Iran, a regime change war . Um, the biggest war we've had since the invasion of Iraq
