Trump on tariffs:

I’ve been waiting for this decision for so long. They could have made this decision a long time ago. It’s not complex. They’re wrong on it. It’s a ridiculous decision, but they should have released it a long time ago.

We waited months, and that created uncertainty. Now we have certainty. And I think you’re going to see the country get much stronger because of it.

Trump on tariffs:

We were being ripped off by almost every single country in the world. They had massive surpluses.

China had hundreds of billions of dollars in surpluses with the United States.

They rebuilt China. They rebuilt their army. We built China’s Army by allowing that to happen.

Trump:

We just left a very important meeting. The top person from a place called Vietnam just left my office — a great gentleman, strong and smart.

He said, “You know, I think this means you’re allowed to charge us more tariffs than before.”

And Canada said, “I hope you win this decision, because if you don’t, then you’ll actually be allowed to charge us a little additional amount.”

Trump:

India is paying tariffs to us, and we are not paying tariffs to them.

Trump on Syria:

The President of Syria, who I essentially put there, is doing a phenomenal job.

Syria is coming together well, and thus far he has been very good to the Kurds.

Trump on India-Pakistan:

Ten planes were shot down; that war was going nuclear.

Trump to Iran:

They better negotiate a fair deal.

Trump on Iran:

32,000 people were killed over a relatively short period of time.

Trump on Europe:

Europe has gone woke. Europe is not recognizable...

Tucker Carlson says he asked for his flight details to be shared with the Israeli military during a visit to Israel because he was worried about being mistaken for an "Iranian drone":

I mean, not to be paranoid, but again, this is probably the most violent country in the world — Israel.

This is also the country that bombed the USS Liberty, even though there were tremendous intercepts showing that it was an American ship.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

I met Jonathan Pollard twice.

He asked if he could come and thank me for being kind to him. He came to the Embassy, and I think we met for maybe 30 minutes. It was a nice, pleasant visit.

The funny thing is that The New York Times reported it as a secret meeting. If you’ve ever been to the U.S. Embassy, you would know there’s no such thing as a secret meeting there. There are cameras everywhere.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

Jonathan Pollard did something that was terribly wrong. He sold secrets. He shouldn’t have done it. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison and spent 30 years in prison. Most people convicted of something similar — which I believe was one count — would have spent maybe two to four years, but he spent 30.

I don’t have a problem with him spending 30 years because what he did was despicable.

I’m not defending what he did. But even people like the former Director of the CIA and a number of Senators on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee said he should be allowed to leave and move to Israel if he wanted to.

So to me, it wasn’t that big a deal that I had this courtesy meeting. He simply wanted to thank me for being nice to him.

Tucker Carlson pressed US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on the biblical “Nile to the Euphrates” land promise to Israel, questioning whether that implies modern Israel has a claim to the entire region.

Huckabee says “it would be fine if they took it all.”

Tucker Carlson: If Israel were to say, “God gave us, in Genesis 15, all of Lebanon, all of Syria, all the way up to the Euphrates,” would that be legitimate in your view?

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: I don’t think so in this particular day and time. They’re not asking for that.

Carlson: But would it be legitimate?

Huckabee: I’m not sure that it would be.

Carlson: But you just said that?

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

Christianity is growing in Israel.

There’s a big lie out there, and I keep hearing that Christians are not treated well in Israel. That’s simply not true. That claim is repeated a lot, but it’s false.

There were 34,000 Christians in Israel in 1948. Today, there are 184,000 Christians.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

There is almost no Christians in Qatar.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: There are almost no Christians in Qatar.

Tucker Carlson: There are actually more Christians living in Qatar than in Israel. Fact.

Tucker Carlson: Netanyahu doesn’t practice Judaism in any rigorous way. His ancestors didn’t live here. They didn’t speak the language, and there’s no evidence they ever lived here.

So on what basis does he have a right for this land?

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: He speaks the language, he has fought for the land.

Tucker Carlson: How do we know that Bibi specifically — that the Prime Minister of Israel — that his ancestors ever lived here? How do we know that?

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: Maybe I could ask you: how do we know they didn’t?

Tucker Carlson: How many kids were killed in Gaza?

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: We don’t know.

Some of the kids who were killed had been recruited into military — kids as young as 14.
