I fully support Israel's right to exist as a nation, and believe they are our greatest ally in the region, BUT Tucker has a valid assessment of the situation. Their treatment of Christians there is quite a bit heavy-handed.

Are you arguing it didn’t happen or do you just think it’s funny that it did?

With Tucker it's 50/50 it happened or not but let's say it did happen. I have no issue with it and neither should you if you support a country being able to have a say in who can visit. Countries have laws and they can enforce them on those inside of their country.

Carlson told the Daily Mail exclusively that shortly after the interview, Israeli officials confiscated his passport and hauled off his executive producer to an interrogation room.

'Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about,' Carlson told the Daily Mail.

'It was bizarre. We’re now out of the country.'


So, did he tell them what they talked about or did he tell em to pound sand?

Ive been detained entering my own country the US several times over a period of a year until I had a screaming fit when they told me "I was free to go" after detaining me for two hours and refused to tell me why every time.

Turns out some fella with my same name had a felony arrest warrant for him, and a simple fcking form was filed out and sent to their office to "take me off the list". Something they could have done before numerous "detentions".

And I was not at Jan 6th and my name is not Tucker

That’s not what he’s claiming happened.

His statement is that they demanded to know what his interview with Huckabee covered.

I guess if you’re fine with us demanding to know what they’re telling Lyndsay Graham when he visits monthly that’s fair but I don’t recall that happening.

I seriously doubt where they want me is not liking and subscribing, clicking on any links, and not telling other people to drop by so they can do the same.

A) I’m glad this happened to him.

B) I don’t believe this happened to him.

Tucker likes to film so I am sure he filmed at least part of the "detainment"

I guess we will see

Sure. Lindsey Graham being a Senator doesn't make him better than you or me or anyone entering the country.

Tucker and Candace have decided they are going after everything conservative so I could care less about them always infighting with everyone to try and stay relevant. I don’t care about Ben Shapiro or the Jews or Israel outside of having an ally in the Middle East. I want to focus on making this country better. If that’s not in your priorities then by.

Let it play out & it’ll come out that Tucker dramatized it & made it into more than it was.

Good. Maybe the Israelis will put the attention whore...tick-tock, tick-tock...in prison for a couple of decades.

You want a foreign country to imprison your countryman without cause?

Pardon me if I am skeptical of any claims coming out of Mr. Qatar's recollection of events. He probably was drunk & pilled up as usual and was detained for being under the influence.

I am not overly fond of Tucker's newly found Qatar love, but the guy backs up what he says and won't back down. I'll give him that. If they detained him it was to harass and intimidate. It's only going to strengthen his resolve. But he is treading on thin ice because they will 100% have him perished.

I love the people of Israel, but their government and Mossad are even more corrupt than what we see in our own government. I try not to get too much into Israel discussions due to that dichotomy, but it is what it is.

I like Mike Huckabee too and believe him to be a genuinely good human being, but his Isreali boot-licking puts him right next to Lindsey Graham on the RINO/MIGA bus.

That's all I've got.

Absolutely fair to be skeptical.

Supposedly he got sober over a decade ago.
