=== Even Tucker Gets It Wrong (03:39) ===

[00:00:00]  There is no Abraham.
[00:00:01]  There's no King Arthur.
[00:00:02]  I hate to tell everyone this.
[00:00:04]  There's no Santa Claus.
[00:00:06]  Okay.
[00:00:07]  So, like, this is just absurd what Tucker is demanding that you could take a DNA test because we've cracked the genome.
[00:00:17]  We haven't cracked the genome.
[00:00:19]  First off, there's so much we don't know, but whatever.
[00:00:21]  We've cracked the genome so we can find Abraham in someone's genome.
[00:00:26]  What in the Sam hell are you talking about?
[00:00:29]  This guy is either in bad faith or he is just a moron.
[00:00:34]  I just, I cannot stand Tucker Carlson.
[00:00:38]  These are just the worst ways of criticizing Israel imaginable.
[00:00:44]  In fact, I don't think I could dream up a worse way of criticizing Zionism than this nonsense that this man keeps promoting.
[00:00:53]  Yeah, I was going to say that every ancient civilization used God, their right from God, the conquest.
[00:01:01]  And since, you know, the Bible is the only true religion, we have to tiptoe around this and say, oh, what is a Jew?
[00:01:07]  Are Jews not just black Israelites in Atlanta?
[00:01:09]  You know, exactly, what is a Jew?
[00:01:11]  Because Tucker has to tiptoe around this because he believes in this exact thing.
[00:01:16]  Yeah.
[00:01:17]  So he thinks it's real, but other claims from other civilizations apparently are fake or something.
[00:01:26]  It's a theology that you yourself just explained.
[00:01:29]  And so I'm very confused as to why we don't do that.
[00:01:32]  If you believe the theology that you've just explained to me, would we do that all over the world?
[00:01:37]  This is the only country in the world that you've said has this covenant with God, that this people have a moral and legal right to the land.
[00:01:46]  What about people who convert to Judaism?
[00:01:48]  Would they have a right?
[00:01:50]  Well, you've just said there are converts to Judaism.
[00:01:54]  So you just told me they can make aliyah.
[00:01:56]  They may not have.
[00:01:57]  You've just told me that it doesn't matter.
[00:02:00]  You told me moments ago, trying to keep track, that it doesn't matter whether or not you believe in God or whether or not you practice Torah Judaism.
[00:02:09]  No, he didn't say that.
[00:02:11]  That is just a total misrepresentation.
[00:02:14]  Huckabee was very clear that it's both.
[00:02:18]  And it's kind of fuzzy, but it's both.
[00:02:21]  He clearly said that.
[00:02:22]  And Tucker just misrepresents him.
[00:02:24]  He's like, no, you told me that you can be an atheist, but still be a Jew.
[00:02:29]  He didn't say that.
[00:02:31]  And even someone like Herzl, who was a kind of atheist of a sort or agnostic or secular Jew or whatever, still obviously had a Jewish identity.
[00:02:44]  Or rabbinic Judaism, which is something else that I don't even know if we should, I don't even know what that means, but it doesn't matter whether you're, quote, a religious Jew or not.
[00:02:53]  What matters is that you are part of the Jewish people.
[00:02:57]  But don't Christians also believe this about Christianity?
[00:03:00]  Isn't this one of the, you know, like, even, I mean, Huckabee said this as well.
[00:03:05]  Even if you don't go to church every Sunday or you're not reading your Bible, a lot of people just resonate with Christianity.
[00:03:13]  You know, they celebrate Christmas.
[00:03:15]  They like the idea of Jesus.
[00:03:18]  They quote scripture on occasion, maybe unintentionally in many ways, because scripture is so the King James Bible is so embedded in our language.
[00:03:27]  Aren't they sort of Christian on some level?
[00:03:30]  Like, are you really unable to like do go beyond just like black and white thinking conservator?

=== Why Go Gobbledygook? (01:31) ===

[00:03:39]  I just don't understand why Tucker doesn't just go like full on Kevin McDonald at this point.
[00:03:44]  And just like, it's obvious like what people like think that he is at this point.
[00:03:49]  Why don't you say like, okay, he's anti-Semitic, like just come out and say it.
[00:03:52]  Like, because he won't.
[00:03:53]  Why does he have to do this game of like, oh, I'm, I'm just asking questions about everything.
[00:03:59]  He won't ever do that because he's never had like a firm opinion on anything outside of the Iraq war when he was on MSNBC, I guess.
[00:04:09]  It is sort of ironic.
[00:04:10]  Like the one time where he spoke clearly was when he was a neocon operative because he wants to play this game where he's pandering to all of these audiences in the conservative movement.
[00:04:23]  So he's pandering to the anti-Semites on the online right.
[00:04:26]  He's pandering.
[00:04:27]  He loves Christian scientists.
[00:04:29]  Some of the nicest people I've ever met.
[00:04:31]  He's pandering to them.
[00:04:32]  He's pandering to Israelis.
[00:04:34]  He doesn't want to be called an anti-Semite.
[00:04:36]  That's crazy.
[00:04:37]  Oh, why are you calling me an it's just it just you turn yourself into gobbly gook if you're not willing to like just clearly state a position with clarity.
[00:04:48]  Is he just purely a charlatan?
[00:04:51]  Does he actually have any real beliefs about anything?
[00:04:54]  I don't know.
[00:04:55]  I mean, I do think he's a charlatan.
[00:04:57]  I don't think he's like a like a cynical operative who's like, oh, I'm going to lie today or something.
[00:05:04]  I think he's just a kind of hysterical, just mentally ill human being.
