After his viral interview with Tucker Carlson, Ambassador Mike Huckabee joins Rabbi Efrem Goldberg for a candid and wide-ranging conversation recorded in Israel.

This conversation discusses:

• What really happened in the Tucker Carlson interview
• The danger of half-truths and clipped narratives
• Whether antisemitic rhetoric should be ignored or confronted
• Rising political fractures on both the right and the left
• The future of bipartisan support for Israel
• Why evangelical support for Israel is “non-negotiable”
• Accusations of dual loyalty — and how to answer them
• Israeli resilience in wartime
• Faith as an anchor in uncertain times

At its core, this is a conversation about conviction — what it means to stand firm without losing composure, and why truth requires courage.
