WAS TUCKER'S HUCKABEE INTERVIEW A SET UP?
Huckabee just decimated American-Arab relations just before Trump's Iran war for Israel!
During Huckabee’s long, painful Tucker interview, where both mostly men talked around any substantive issues, Huckabee made an extraordinary declaration that just destroyed American-Arab relations, guaranteeing that no regional power will allow American air support in Trump’s imminent Iran war for Israel.
Huckabee said, “ It would be fine if they took it all.”
Mike Huckabee told Tucker Carlson in an interview that “it would be fine if they took it all,” referring to Israel taking control of a vast area of the Middle East promised in the Bible to the descendants of Abraham. The land in question, stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates, includes modern-day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and parts of Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel and a former Baptist minister, made the comments during a discussion about biblical land grants, where Carlson challenged him on whether Israel has a divine right to that territory. Huckabee affirmed the idea, stating the land was given by God to the Jewish people, and added that Israel is not currently seeking to expand into those regions.
Following the interview, Arab and Muslim-majority nations, including Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, strongly condemned the remarks, calling them “extremist” and “unacceptable.” The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the League of Arab States also criticized the comments, urging the U.S. State Department to clarify its position.
That statement from Ambassador Huckabee was the single most patently dangerously irresponsible declaration that ever made by an American official, at least, in the context of foreign relations.
Potentially, Huckabee’s claim could lead to a world war. But at the very least it has destroyed American-Arab relations just when Trump, about to strilke Iran, needs them the most.
U.S. foreign policy runs on trust. Specifically, it runs on the carefully maintained, perpetually fragile, enormously expensive fiction that the United States is an honest broker, that when we sit down with Arab heads of state and tell them we want stability and peace in the region, we mean it, and that our word is worth something. That trust is the entire architecture. Remove it and the whole structure falls.
The damage is not hypothetical. It is already done. No Arab nation will now allow the U.S. to their bases or fly over there airspace to strike Iran. Combine that with U.K Starmer’s refusal to allow Trump to use UK military bases, including Diego Garcia, for a potential preemptive strike on Iran, and Trump’s Iran air war just became doubly difficult.
The Greater Israel Project is a territorial and theological vision held by a significant and growing faction of Israeli religious nationalists who believe that God promised the Jewish people a specific piece of real estate in Genesis 15, and that the modern State of Israel has not yet collected what was promised.
The boundaries of that promise, read literally, run from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River, which flows through Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. Everything between those two rivers belongs, in their view, to the Jewish people by divine right. Not eventually. Not symbolically. Actually. Physically. With the current occupants either subordinated, expelled, or dealt with by whatever means history requires.
Trump should require Huckabee to apologize immediately to our Arab allies and retract his statement. Then Trump should recall Huckabee as ambassador to Israel. Yet none of that has happened.
Trump’s silence on the matter is defeaning. Trump, our first Jewish president, (see my recent Substack of the same title), is Israel first, America second. Which means whatever Netanyahu wants, Trump does. And Netanyahu wants the Biblically promised Greater Israel!
Trump’s Iran war for Israel may just morph into the war for Greater Israel. And with nuclear superpowers China and Russia siding and already conducting joint operations with Iran, Trump may just be sliding America into world war!
Was the Tucker interview staged for this purpose? It certainly seems so. Consider the preceeding part of the interview.
Tucker began with a sincere Christian confession, repentence and ask for pardon. Thrice. A good start. Then Huckabee brought up the scriptural quote that all good, American Christian Zionists lead with.
“Those that bless Israel will be blessed, and those that curse Israel will be cursed, and all the world will be blessed through them.”
There is just one problem with the quote. It is completely, utterly false!
Christian Zionists might be surprised to learn that NONE of the Holy Bibles contain the following quote as it’s commonly stated:
“Those that bless Israel will be blessed, and those that curse Israel will be cursed, and all the world will be blessed through them.”
This statement is actually a paraphrase of Genesis 12:3. But the word “Israel” does not appear in that verse, nor in the original Hebrew text. Instead, the actual verse reads:
“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
Don’t take my word for it. Here is the excellent online Holy Bible source Bible Hub. And none of the thirty plus Bibles name Israel. Not even the JPS Tanahk 1917. Which was the first translation of the Hebrew Bible into English by a committee of Jews!

No mention of Israel. None. So where did this scriptural fraud originate? With John Darby and the heresy of Dispensationalism.
The word "dispensation" comes from the Greek word \bm{oikonomia}, which appears several times in the New Testament (notably in the letters of Paul). It literally means "house-management" or "stewardship."
While the word is biblical, the theological system (popularized by John Nelson Darby in the 1800s and the Scofield Reference Bible) is a misinterpretation of the Bible.
John Nelson Darby (1800–1882) was an Anglo-Irish theologian and Bible translator, best known as the father of modern Dispensationalism — a theological system that has deeply shaped much of contemporary evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity.
Dispensationalism is a system of biblical interpretation that divides history into distinct periods, or “dispensations.”
Dispensationalism teaches that while God Himself never changes, His methods of dealing with humanity — His covenants, commands, and promises — differ in each dispensation.
Dispensationalism allowed men such as Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (aka C. I. Scofield) to reinterpret and ultimately distort the Bible through this new framework.
C.I. Scofield (a man accused of fraud, scams, and deceptive behavior prior to his ministry days) was an American pastor who lived from 1843 to 1921.
He’s best remembered for creating the Scofield Reference Bible (1909), a study Bible that spread dispensational theology throughout the English-speaking world — shaping much of 20th-century evangelical Christianity.
Many evangelicals believe dispensationalism explains current global events, especially in relation to Israel and the Middle East. For them, geopolitics, war, and even natural disasters are seen through a prophetic lens.
Here, “thee” refers to Abram (later renamed Abraham), the man to whom God made the foundational covenant that would shape biblical history.
For most of Christian history, this verse was understood universally: the promise was ultimately fulfilled in Christ, a descendant of Abraham, through whom “ALL nations are blessed,” not just the ethnic or political nation of Israel.
Today, more and more Christians especially the younger generation, are rejecting dispensationalism, citing that it is undermines Jesus’ core teachings by redefining them, and divides God’s people, treating Israel and the Church as separate—despite biblical emphasis on unity in Christ.
But neither Tucker, who had a long time to prepare on his fight to Israel, nor Huckabee, who claims to be a theologian, ever mentioned any of the facts above!
And of course neither ventures into the most relevant portion of the Bible, the New Testament, where Yeshua himself tells the Jews they are no longer the chosen when they kill the son:
“Hear another parable: there was a certain man, a landowner, and he had planted a vineyard enclosed by a fence and he had dug a wine press and had built a tower in it, and had given its care to laborers, and he went abroad.”
“But when the fruit season had arrived, he sent his servants to the laborers so that they would send some of the fruit of the vineyard to him.”
“And the laborers seized his servants; they beat one and another they stoned and another they killed.”
“And he sent again more servants than the first time, and they did the same to them.” Finally, he sent to them his son as he said, ‘Doubtless they will reverence my son.”
“But when the laborers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir, come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’” “And they seized and led him outside of the vineyard and killed him.”
“Therefore when the Lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those laborers?” They said to him, “He will ruthlessly destroy them and he will give the care of the vineyard to other laborers, who will give him the fruits in their season.”
Yeshua said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was from the presence of THE LORD JEHOVAH, and it is a wonder in our eyes.” -Matthew 21:33-43
“Therefore, I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and will be given to a people who will produce fruit.”
Of course for Christians the most important and relevant words in the Holy Bible are from Christ himself. Yet Tucker and Huckabee seemed completely unaware of this decisive declaration by Jesus Himself!
Then there is Paul, who completely obliterates any remaining ‘Jewishness’ significance for Christ followers:
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. -Galatians 3:28
After much dithering around false scripture, Tucker and Huckabee moved on to the topic of Zionism. But the discussion got no better. Tucker failed to define it. Huckabee generalized it. But neither seemed aware of the facts, easily accessed on Wikepedia:
Zionism initially emerged in Europe as a secular, nationalist, movement in the late 19th century, in reaction to new waves of antisemetism. Zionism is a movement that emerged to establish and support a Jewish homeland through colonization in the region of Palestine, which roughly corresponds to the Land of Israel in Judasim—itself central to Jewish history. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews and as fewPalestianian Arabs as possible.
Neither mentions that Theodor Herz; was the founder of the modern Zionist movement. In his 1896 pamphlet Der Judenstaat, he envisioned the founding of a future independent Jewish state during the 20th century.
Next Tucker and Huckabee danced around the numbers of Gazans killed. It seems neither had any idea. Again neither seemed to able to access the information easily available on Brave AI:
IDF Acceptance of Gaza Death Toll: In late January 2026, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) acknowledged for the first time that approximately 70,000 to 71,667 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023. This figure aligns with the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry’s (GHM) reported death toll, which the IDF previously disputed but now accepts as accurate.
How can a world class commentator be so ill informed? How could an American ambassador make such an Arab-nation decimating statement on the eve of a massive Iran air war?
Was this whole interview performative? Because except for Huckabee’s outrageous declaration, the interview was certainly not substantive.
Huckabee like Trump, is Israel first. He got what he wanted. What Israel wanted. Tucker wants ratings and headlines. He got what he wanted.
Neither Iran, the Arab nations, nor the American people want another made-up, mid-east war.
But the deep state does. Because Israel does. And they want the U.S. to fight it for them.
Remember the Butler assassination set up? Of all the things that did not, and still do not add up about it, recall it was blamed on Iran! How do we know? The CIA said so.
The deep state CIA and intelligence community may not be much on actionable intelligence. But they are highly adept at false flags starting wars.
And this one could be World War Three.







Tucker is trying to manipulate and control foreign policy based on his own particular policy positions- he’s done this for quite a while. That’s not true journalism but then is there any real journalism anymore? It was a setup and a devious tactic to complicate the situation in the Middle East to effect his own desired policies and outcomes. Huckabee is an ambassador and should only echo the administration’s policy and stance on any and all issues. He is wrong to put forward his evangelical positions on any topic while representing the President. In his role as a pastor in his personal life when he no longer represents the country he is free to voice his views I can’t believe he would be so careless but there it is. The whole thing should have never taken place and the President should not allow this whatever his policies are. These things need to be discreetly handled.
You're right on the mark with the apparent staging of this interview. It's first evident when Huckaboo uses B-acting tips from the left such as “I don't understand what your saying to me.”
It fooled me at first but it makes sense as Tucker should've been irate.
Then, Tucker’s arrested? Pretty pathetic. I never have liked Huckaboo. Will the American people let them get away with war on Iran? I hope not.
Sorry you have such a bad cough. I had nasal surgery (sinus fungus among-us) last week and it's just a persistent annoyance to be unable to calm throat irritation. My nurse daughter says it's likely oropharyngeal irritation. Okay. I gargled with aloe juice but the worst, of course, is talking or at night; nose stuffy, mouth open, everything is dry. Here's to you getting well. KinSC
