Watch From My Wall: The Putin Interview and the Concerns it Brings

The Putin Interview and the Concerns It Brings for Israel

Disclaimer: I felt it important to write about the Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin. I do not mean for this article to come across as total admonishment of Tucker Carlson. I believe he has been a strong voice for conservative principles for a long time and he rightly has many supporters. I have long had only one problem with Tucker Carlson, and it all culminated in this interview.

I am not advocating for our involvement in Ukraine, nor am I supporting sending more money to Ukraine...at least, under Biden. This goes beyond Ukraine. It is being reported around the world that Putin granted the interview because he views Tucker as a sympathetic voice of Putin and Russia. And that is why I write. I view him that way, too.

Tucker’s interview with Vladimir Putin has now aired and the negative attention it created from the left is continuing, while admiration from the right grows leaps and bounds...at least for some from the right. Somehow, I find myself cringing about both sides of the narrative and feel the need to express my concern.

For starters, it is my view, that Tucker Carlson, through this interview, is doing nothing more than giving rebirth to the Russia collusion lie. And all the same people are going to continue to regurgitate it and all the same people are going to continue to believe it. But that is only one reason why I think the interview was a big mistake. Tucker told us prior, it comes with risks. It sure does!!

I am afraid this is going to hurt President Trump. What does Tucker think he's going to hear except for lies from Vladimir Putin? I just don't get it. Why do this? It seems he is desperate to prove he's right about the Ukraine War. Watching the interview, it seems Tucker led Putin nowhere, only letting Putin carry on at will...and at length. Tucker knew what he would say. He may have been a bit surprised about the amount of history Putin delved into, but that only strengthened what Tucker knew Putin most likely would say later in the interview. Let’s look at it step by step.

Tucker first offered us an opening video from the Kremlin the night before the interview. He basically told us his desires in bringing us this information: His concern for the war in Ukraine and how President Zelensky is manipulating us for money. Also, Tucker wants to be sure we know how naive we all are about what is happening there. Further, Tucker wants us to be sure to know he loves America... some of the things he says in this interview, and a follow up interview at the World Government Summit, plus the follow up video clips he does, makes me question that.

Then came the interview...two full hours with an opening disclaimer of sorts. This is the link to the full interview, but you can see his opening remarks at the very beginning. I think it is helpful to listen to those, to get a sense of both Tucker's reasoning for the interview and Putin's. Poor Vlad believes Ukraine belongs to Russia, Tucker informs us and the poor guy is wounded by the west.

After the interview, (the same night I believe) Tucker gave us a recap from his hotel room. (I think that clip has been removed, I can no longer find it.) Well, if not a recap, at least his thoughts about what had been revealed in the interview… “It may take up to a year for me to process everything,” Tucker explains. Good, this should take some processing!

“Putin is “wounded”, Tucker thoughtfully reflects further. Yeah, maybe. If a narcissistic murderer can be wounded.

I am not going to go into all the history Putin did in his interview. But I will go into some important parts that he left out. But let me start with where my apprehensions began.

Beginning Questions About Tucker’s Leanings and Jimmy Dore

I feel like I have written extensively about my recent concerns of Tucker Carlson. I had been cringing at some of the things he has been saying for sometime now. All of my concern beginning when he still had his show on Fox, and never fully agreeing with his take on US Foreign Policy. But it’s hard to buck such a powerful influencer, even if only in my own private thoughts. But then came Tucker’s interview with Jimmy Dore, and I found I could no longer be silent. I was enraged! Dore was regurgitating the tired, old, Communist ideals of the 1960’s which my dad had warned me about since my childhood.

Throughout Dore’s comments, Tucker seemingly agreed; though he did try a bit of a rebuff a couple weeks later. That rebuff wasn’t much and it didn’t matter anyway, the damage had been done. Tucker’s Fox viewers had bought the narrative with a nod of Tucker’s head, yes.

In all honesty, I was sick. Shaken really. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I couldn’t shake it. That caused me to research Jimmy Dore. Everything I learned from that search, confirmed what I suspected. He is a progressive “comedian” (I have yet to see anything funny), by his and his followers labels. But I call him an old fashioned “Communist.” What I also suspected, I confirmed as true. He is a foul-mouthed, anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic (Yes, I make a distinction in those two labels. More about that later.) pot smokin', Communist wanna-be.

I also found on Dore’s Twitter page, (now X) that all his followers were ecstatic over the interview Dore did with Tucker. They were high-fiving each other, (albeit through words), that Dore was actually able to say the things he said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight”. They were mocking Tucker for allowing such accusations on a show they viewed as evilly conservative on the equally evil Fox news station. I saw their derisive intent, and it was almost the last straw for me and Tucker. But he was the conservative darling! It is hard to be strong enough in ones views to see oneself as accurate and millions of followers wrong. I tried to remain a follower, but pointing out where I disagreed with him just a bit more often.

Then came Tucker’s firing. I don’t know that I was surprised. I read commentary after commentary, post after post, about it. Everyone wanted to claim it was their issue that got Tucker fired...maybe it was. Why does it matter? It seemed everyone wanted to claim it was their issue for their own importance. Anyway, I digress. Tucker moved on and the majority of his fans moved with him.

Why did Tucker choose to host Jimmy Dore in the first place? I think it’s because he actually likes Dore’s anti-American, pro-“Russia is being mischaracterized”, sympathetic view. And yes, I think Tucker likes Dore’s anti-Semitic views too. Maybe I am being unfair about that. Maybe to be more fair, it is simply that Tucker just doesn’t care about Dore’s anti-Semitic views, because he likes everything else Dore says. But if any part of that is true, that should trouble us all. It should also concern us that Tucker has interviewed Dore on his Tucker Today show on Fox Nation; and Dore has interviewed Tucker on his show. Seems they are old buddies, despite Tucker's disclaimers. Dore is rabidly anti-Zionist.

It should be deeply concerning, because it is changing Americans attitude toward support of Israel. I think that’s what Tucker wants. He views Israel as the same problem Ukraine is. Tucker doesn’t want to see any support for any nation by the United States. I used to think he was just afraid of war...I still think he is to a degree...but I no longer think that is his main concern. I now believe he is an instigator. He seems to love to stir the masses and utilize the power he has for his own agenda. He says he loves America, but how then can he regurgitate the same views as the likes of Jimmy Dore. MY GOODNESS! Watch this interview if you doubt my concern about Dore.

I found myself beginning to question some of the people Tucker was choosing to interview. I watched as Tucker’s biggest fans, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk started regurgitating the same stuff. I cringed as even Charlie started questioning Bibi Netanyahu in an unfounded way. And Candace Owens sounding down right anti-Semitic in her public war with Ben Shapiro. Tucker had interviewed (seemingly favorably) Jimmy Dore and he had been defending Julian Assange. Finally, even interviewing well-known anti-Semitic Alex Jones in a favorable way. They all have anti-Israel leanings!! Are we wondering yet??? Huge red flags. These guys are headed the wrong direction, and Tucker appears to be helping them along. Thus, the beginnings of my concern.

Enter my distrust of Tucker Carlson. I am a Christian Zionist. If you don’t understand that, think John Hagee.

Lead UP and Follow Up Interviews

Then came Tucker’s announcement that he was in Moscow to interview with Vladimir Putin. Ugh! More cringe-worthy news for me. Why bother? Does he think he is going to get even an iota of truth from Vladimir. He is trained in propaganda, for crying out loud! I know others have interviewed him...but one expects those kinds of things from the left! Yes, I know Tucker has the right to do so. This isn’t about that for me. It is about what is safe, practical and reasonable for our nation.

Before I was able to watch the interview, I first came across Candace Owens “Story” on Facebook and watched that. Oh, good grief! She was simply regurgitating all of Jimmy Dore’s narrative from months earlier. And I just had to shake my head as she carried on about the hero, Tucker is to interview “Put'N”. (Really wish she would learn to pronounce her vowels before “n”. She sounds like a teen-ager.)

Later, she did a full video for her show, Candace Owens, regarding Tucker's interview. In that video, she prefaced it with a message about Julian Assange. Using him, I guess, to show the bravery of such men as Tucker and Assange. Assange is a criminal. He didn’t have the right to do what he did, in spite of so-called “pure” motives. We don’t get to do that...at least in the manner that he did. Trump chose not to pardon him, or Edward Snowden. That should tell us something.

Why do they give such support to Julian Assange...again, he is an outspoken anti-Semite? How can they be comfortable with that?

I think it’s because they are anti-Israel...I am trying not to call them anti-Semitic, or anti-Zionist, yet. I am being generous and simply trying to state they probably only don't want us to lend any support to Israel; in the same way they don't want us to give support to Ukraine. But part of me believes their disdain for Israel is way deeper than that. It is here, I feel I need to define my belief about the terms, anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist and and anti-Israel.

When I use the term, "anti-Israel", I refer to it in more the political sense - a desire to not support politically the nation of Israel, in the way of sending support, militarily or financially. When I use the term "anti-Semite", I use it to describe the racial discrimination against a Jewish person, for either their faith, nationality, or heritage. When I use the term anti-Zionist, it holds a deeper meaning for me. It is a blatant attack against their faith from a Biblical perspective and their eternal right to their Jewish homeland.

With that said, I am sure to a Jewish person, they are all one in the same and one label is as offensive as the other. And truthfully, we should all view it that way. Overall, I do, but for this missive, I want to differentiate just a bit, due to the many personalities and political pundits I discuss here.

I did find one simplified definition of anti-Zionist, I will share here. It appeared on a You-Tube video with Amir Tsarfati interviewing a woman who shares this definition: Anti-Zionism is the political movement of self determination/liberation of the Jewish homeland for the Jewish people. It was from USSR/Russia along with the Arab world that turned Judaism into a toxic and evil empire....empire, for lack of a better word, right now. See video, directly below.

So with that said, back to Candace and Tucker. They both claim to be Christians, but if that is true, apparently they haven’t gotten to the point of reading or understanding the prophecy in Ezekiel 38 and 39, yet - The war of Gog and Magog, which some believe to be the beginning of Armageddon. I am one of those. I understand there is a greater war later, but it still all begins with Ezekiel when the country from the uttermost north invades Israel. That's Russia. And in reality, maybe Tucker and Candace as new Christians do not even understand or have given much thought to Genesis 12:3 - "I will bless those that bless you." They most certainly do not seem to understand Zechariah 12:3 that informs us every nation will turn against Israel.

But anyway, in both videos that Candace shared after the Putin interview, she espoused all the things Tucker has not yet said about his interview. I have said it before and I will say it again. Tucker is smarter than that. He simply lets people like Candace Owens say it for him. He has done it before! Actually continually. Candace is so starry eyed over him, she simply doesn’t see how she is being used. Plus, she actually believes the things he says. Like Tucker, she was once a Democrat. Not sure either of them have shaken that from the recesses of their heart, just yet. I had to publicly address it on social media for my own well-being. My response to Candace’s videos went something like this. Because of space I didn’t have then, I have added more thoughts and some additional facts now. After Candace prefaces her comments with a defense of Julian Assange, this is what she tells us. For clarification, her views, though not an exact quote, are in green.

1. "Julian Assange is a hero." NOT! He is an anti-Semitic criminal. Both Candace, and Tucker Carlson, have said in the past that Mike Pompeo actually attempted to have him murdered. That makes my blood boil. It is an accusation that has never been proven. It has never even been a legitimate question from a legitimate source! No charges have ever been brought, let alone proven guilty; but they state it as fact over and over without even giving a source for their “fact”. Why do we put up with that??? I have written about that prior, so I won’t repeat it here, but you can read why this is so wrong, in my humble opinion.

2. America is an Imperialist nation. NOT And we never have been! And we have NEVER "taken stuff" (i.e. plunder or land) as stated by Candace Owens in her “report” of Tucker’s interview. Neither are we Colonialists as stated by Tucker to Putin.

3. The “geriatric leaders” (read "boomer") are ignorant. In truth, they know a heck of a lot more than Candace does and they are smart enough not to believe the propaganda of "Put'N". Her bashing of our “geriatric leaders” is her way of saying “boomer” with the same thought behind it. So disrespectful! I wonder if she places Trump in that category...yeah, I think she does, from her subtle comments and prior support of Vivek Ramaswamy for President. Search some of the comments she made at that time.

4. America is about to get us into WWIII! Read your Bible...it isn't America that will do that. That's their buddy, "Put'N". And it is all clearly lined out in Scripture. That is the part Carlson and Candace Owens fail to consider in their take down of America, while propping up and supporting Put'N. (Even though they both claim not to, it is exactly what they are doing.) And maybe it won't be Putin in charge at that time; but it will most certainly be Russia and he has had a huge part in all that will take place when we reach that time in Biblical prophecy.

Re: #4 I recommend to Candace that she start with reading Ezekiel 38, and 39. That should get us all thinking. Further, she has missing chunks in her history of Russia that needs to be revisited. We need to go back to just past 1948, actually 1949 and see how Stalin treated the Jews. He used the term "nationalist" in a negative connotation too, just like it is being used today. It was a means and method to make them pay for their disloyalty... tortured, then shot. Did Put'N cover any of that in his history lesson?? No. Of course he didn’t.

PS. In her earlier argument with Ben Shapiro, Candace threw out what is to a Jew, basically considered an anti-Semitic slur. After her blasting of Ben she ended her tweet with “Jesus is King!” Yeah, Jesus IS King! But it should be said in love. Not as a fiery dart thrown at the target of the day. That was strike 2 for me after her take on Israel, which was strike 1. This little video is strike 3 and I hope people will respond in kind and say: “CO! You are OUT!”

Her response to Tucker’s interview was pretty discouraging, but not really a surprise after listening to her narrative the last few months. The above was pretty much my response to Candace’s interpretation of the interview. I felt it important to include it here. I have followed both Tucker and Candace for years. But after all of this, they both are on strike three for me.

When I watched Tucker’s video announcing the interview, I held out a bit of hope. Maybe it wouldn’t be as bad as I thought. Tucker made some great points…. As I said earlier, he promised it wasn’t out of love for Putin, but rather for the United States. Yeah, I don’t see it… Not with the way he conducted that interview, and not in what he told us after the interview.

The Interview and A Bit More Russian History

Tucker, and those that put him on a pedestal, are incredibly naive to trust and believe a murderous dictator like Putin. No designs of world control??? Maybe not; because he only needs the nations that will get him to Israel. And he is moving rapidly in his alliance with Iran and into Syria! He is using Syria as a testing ground and a launching pad for Russia's latest weapons. And I believe ISRAEL is the nation that is Putin's goal!

I can’t go into all the history that Putin didn’t mention here; but let me share this article with some additional history that Putin excluded in Tucker's interview. Suffice it to say, Russia in 1949 used Israel for their own gain for a short time; until that is, Stalin determined he needed to rid himself of the problem. He concocted a plan to destroy the Jews and the Jewish identity. He used the term “Jewish nationalists”. Sound familiar? It should. It is the same term being used against Christian conservatives, in America, today. And “nationalists” is the same term that Putin is using today, against Ukraine. From a recent article regarding Moscow's intent to weaken the Middle East:

“Outmanned and outgunned, the Jews desperately needed weapons for their defense. Communist Czechoslovakia stepped in and supplied Israel with dozens of military aircraft, 50,000 rifles, 6,000 machine guns and 90 million bullets – their provision authorized by the Kremlin."

"Moscow’s impetus was not altruism – it stemmed from the Soviet desire to roll back the British empire and weaken Western influence in the Middle East. But Stalin’s motivation notwithstanding, the armaments he approved were indispensable." (Bold emphasis, mine.)

It was only a short time after that, when Stalin began to turn on Israel and attempted to rid the earth of their presence.

In 1953, Stalin further devised a conspiratorial plot where supposedly Jewish doctors were trying to kill high ranking Soviet officials. Search the “Doctor’s Plot” for more information regarding this. In 1955, after basically ridding themselves of the Jews, they established a close military alliance with the Arab states, which they maintain to this day.

“The Kremlin would soon dramatically reverse course. By the 1950s Moscow became the champion of Arab nationalism, embracing an anti-Israel and anti-Jewish agenda – and would continue thus over consecutive decades.” (Bold emphasis, mine)

Yeah...Putin didn’t go into any of that history. Nor did Tucker ask. They both focused on the “Nazism” of Ukraine…

What’s the difference in what, how and who Russia aligns itself, now? What if it is again about eliminating a Jew? Zelenskyy is Jewish. That he is a Nazi is ridiculous. That there are white supremacists in charge of Ukraine doesn’t seem any more plausible than the left’s claim we hear in the US that the "White Supremacists are America’s greatest threat"...That according to the Joe Biden administration. Anyone with a brain knows that simply is not the case and a dangerous narrative. We need to think. Riiight! Putin is going to protect people in Ukraine from Nazis by sending them all to Kingdom Come. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? NOT! That’s a claim from NBC. But Tucker and lame stream media are saying the same things...take it all with a grain of salt.

After the miraculous war of 1967, with Israel winning in 6 days, creating humiliation for the Soviet armed Arab states, the animosity and propaganda against Israel simply grew and grew. They tried to present Israel as the enemy to progressive socialism. They twisted the middle east conflict as not one of religious groups, but rather as a conflict of progressive Arab people and "Imperialist" Israel...basically depicting Israel as occupiers and an apartheid state. And more, even compared them to Nazis...everyone’s favorite attack, it seems. Israel is no more an Imperialist state than is the United States. Both Tucker and Candace seem to want to paint the United States in that way. Too much Jimmy Dore, methinks.

Depicting Israel as occupiers or an apartheid state, gave the Soviets the right (in their view) to oppose and attack Israel. This is Russia’s history. And then some claim: "But Russia is no longer the USSR!" and "Different time, different state." Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know! Nope. Don’t forget Putin has said that the fall of the USSR was the "greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century

Let's continue. In 1975, the Soviets sponsored a UN General Assembly resolution that labeled Zionism as racist. Revoked in 1991 after the fall of the USSR, but today, Israel is the most sanctioned and lectured country in the UN, even over communist China, North Korea and Iran. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has called for sanctions of Israel and even called for the arrest of Bibi Netanyahu as a "war criminal"!! And today, Zionism is viewed as the international oppressor and the enemy of the leftist revolution. Think what I said about Jimmy Dore. He is a Communist, in my view. This is apparently also why he is a rabid anti-Semitic...or perhaps he is a Communist, because he is first an Anti-Semitic. Why did Tucker have him on his show and seemingly agree with everything he said? Perhaps this is the reason Fox had to fire Tucker. Dore apparently doesn’t see what is wrong with the phrase “From the river to the Sea, Palestine will be free.”

This nation, (Russia/USSR) in what ever era it is, has a history of calling their perceived or real enemies Nazis! Do you see why I can’t get too concerned with Putin labeling Ukraine, as "Nazis"? It is Putin's MO for his enemies. It doesn't mean they are.

Tucker has led us all to believe that all of the chatter has been out of a concern to keep us out of World War III. It isn't! Tucker's interview (and even Candace’s interpretation of it), clearly reveals that is not at all what it's about! It's about proving Putin right and that America is an Imperialist Nation that always has been. You doubt me? Tucker said it in the interview...referring to the United States as one of the “Colonial nations” out to harass Putin. Colonialism and Imperialism are basically the same thing.

“Colonialism is where one country physically exerts complete control over another country and Imperialism is formal or informal economic and political domination of one country over the other.”

And that America fits either of those descriptions should fire up anybody over age 30, who should be old enough to fully understand... Not just the "geriatrics". No. we are not Colonialists and we certainly are not Imperialists. This is the same preaching as Jimmy Dore, which Tucker sat and shook his head in affirmation while interviewing Dore. Then Tucker simply let Putin reiterate the same narrative.

As evidence to demonstrate my concern with this interview and the danger it is to America, simply read the comments in support of Putin on Tucker’s social media pages! It is absolutely astounding! The majority see Putin’s propaganda as truth. Poor “wounded” soul. Doesn’t anyone think any more?

More History – Let’s Get Current – Lead up to Ukraine War

The first thing we need to do, to correctly understand Putin, is admit that he is an educated Marxist who served in the KGB during the Cold War, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Old Vlad actually believes 100 million victims of communism is not too big of a price to pay to bring about the Marxist philosophy beliefs he has long held. He actually believes in the purges that Lenin and Stalin used to enforce their rule throughout Russian/Soviet history. That includes the forced famines that eliminated enemies of the state, which includes the purge of the Jew, the forced labor camps in Siberia, and the strict propagandist control of all media. Putin, if anybody, understands and studied the techniques of agitation and propaganda; and we need to consider he is, in fact, using them in this interview. We certainly didn’t hear any of that history during his interview with Tucker. Shouldn’t that be a red flag for us?

Toward the middle of the interview, Tucker asks Putin who blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline. It’s a light moment; one of the few comical moments in the entire interview, when Putin directs his open hands to Tucker. Obviously, Putin blames Tucker. Tucker laughs and says, “[He] was busy that day.” It is one of the few times, we get a laugh out of Putin.

We easily get the message. Putin believes the US did it. Not a surprise at all. Tucker himself believes this and has unequivocally stated this on occasion. I don’t know if that is true. And I am not sure if we will ever know. But what I do know is it is wrong for Tucker to claim this without absolute proof. We expect that from Putin, but it should NOT come from a United States influencer like Tucker until we know it as a fact.

What is true is there were Russia ships in the Baltic Sea within the area, just days prior. They had means and reason just as Putin informs us we need to consider. Maybe Putin did it to help justify the war in Ukraine. Maybe he did it because Nord Stream wasn’t even being used because Germany had halted the project after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Maybe because of that, Russia did it as a message to Germany that they will NEVER get gas from Russia? Who knows what evil lurks in that man’s mind? I don’t. Maybe it was Ukraine. Or Maybe it was the UK on their own without US help. Maybe it was Sweden. I just don’t like a US citizen, like Tucker Carlson, blaming it on our nation without any proof.

But Tucker did the same thing in regard to his accusation that then CIA Director, Mike Pompeo, tried to have Julian Assange murdered. There is no proof of that or any justification for that kind of comment. Yet both Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens have adamantly stated that as fact. Present all the scenarios or keep your mouth shut, Tucker.

At Tucker’s prompting, Putin tries to convince us that he has no intentions of invading Poland. This is what Tucker wants us to believe too. He has claimed it many times; telling us that it is only the “military industrial complex” that wants us to believe this. In fact, they want us to believe that this is just giving the “military industrial complex” a reason to keep us at war. They want us to believe the war is all “only about money”….or maybe, just maybe they simply believe it is American Imperialism. Whatever! What is obvious, for them, it is all America’s fault.

Listen carefully. Perhaps there is a hint here, too, as to why Putin’s claim that he has no intention to invade Poland, is a deliberate lie. He says it plainly in this clip for anyone paying attention. There is another means to get gas from Russia to Germany through Poland.

He so badly wants us to believe Putin has no intention of invading Poland. But if Tucker was listening carefully, in his own interview Putin tells us exactly why. There is a secondary means for a pipeline like Nord Stream through Poland, which can be utilized if Putin can control it. Yamal Europe Pipeline - 2552 mile pipeline through Poland and into Germany through Belarus. The Polish section quit operation in 2022. That's reason enough for a man like Putin to want to control Poland. Tucker missed that. Why should that surprise us coming from a man like Putin who wants to control everything in his nation. Poland has come out with concern for no fewer than ten lies Putin told about Poland, along with his revisionist history about Russia. None of which was challenged by Tucker. I am certainly no expert on this stuff, but that seems to be fairly easy conclusion to reach, doesn't it? What better reason for a man like Putin to want to take Poland too. Back up for the loss of the Nord Stream Pipeline.

It is important to remember that Putin is a Marxist. And he is doing the things Marxists do! From the Heritage Foundation - June 7, 2022

“Given his KGB training, it was inevitable that Putin would manipulate elections, rewrite the Russian constitution, imprison and even poison his opponents, close down Memorial and every other NGO that called attention to the crimes of Marxism-Leninism, order the brutal subjugation of Chechnya, seize Crimea, and invade Ukraine.”

I think Tucker has forgotten that, or he simply doesn’t believe it. And who knows for what reason! .

Biblical Concerns

I realize I have covered many personalities and various subject matter in this article; and perhaps it seems I am meandering. But it is for a reason. What is the common thread with Julian Assange, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Jimmy Dore...oh, and Put’N? They all seem to hate Israel. And I will even add a couple more names to that list; one that Tucker has been aligning himself with only since leaving Fox. And that would be Alex Jones. To a lesser degree Tulsi Gabbard, Glenn Greenwald and Col. Doug MacGregor, all of whom he loved to interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox; none of whom will ever have Israel’s back, but whom all agreed with Tucker's ideas of foreign policy. Other than Assange and Jones, I won’t call any of them anti-Semitic. But they are anti-Israel, and I most certainly believe them to be anti-Zionist. They do not understand the place Israel holds in God’s view. Israel is the apple of His eye.

“For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.” Zechariah 2:8

And it seems they have all chosen to leave Israel in the dust, ignoring all Scripture to pray for and support Israel. They ignore, or don’t know all the Scripture as to why God instructs us this way. The Jew is God’s Chosen People and Israel is God’s time clock. That "time clock" is one of the best witnessing tools we has as Christians; because we are able to point to the fulfillment of prophecy with it. As well, in the first book of the Bible, God tells us He will bless those that bless Israel, and curse those that curse Israel. Genesis 12:3 That’s a direct instruction, if not viewed as a distinct command.

“I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you.” Genesis 12:3

As I said earlier, many believe anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist and anti-Israel are *not* the same thing...i.e. that one can be anti-Israel without actually being anti-Semitic. I don't know if that is true. I view Anti-Zionism is the hatred for the nation due to their deep faith. I believe 97% of Jews in Israel are Zionists. Maybe the difference is not so distinct. But none of that matters in the greater scheme of things. They might as well be one in the same!! Some believe that anti-Zionism is an evolution of anti-Semitism, and I believe that is in part true...in regard to anti-Semitism beginning before Israel was declared a nation in 1948. But I also kind of believe there is a more distinct difference. To be an anti-Zionist is more political/religious where anti-Semitism is good old-fashioned racism. I believe there are Jews within Israel who are in fact anti-Zionists. And they would freak out over a comment like “Bibi Netanyahu is placed by God for such a time as this.” There. I think you get the idea. To explain my view a bit further, when I say “anti-Israel” I am referring to a disdain or lack of support only for the nation. I am not referring to anything anti-Semitic like a hatred or distrust for the people. Neither am I referring to the faith as in Anti-Zionism. I am simply referring to someone who dislikes and does not support the nation of Israel. In the end and when all tied together, and most likely to Jews who live it daily for generations, there is no difference. In that vein, we shouldn't look at it differently either.

We are starting to see more of an anti-Israel position in our Congress, who just this week refused to pass a stand alone bill in support of Israel. Truly a shame. We are moving closer to "every nation will turn against Israel." Zechariah 12:3. That said, there are also virulent anti-Semitics and anti-Zionists. Think The Squad: Ilhan Omar, AOC, Ayanna Presley, Rashida Tlaib; it has grown to include Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Greg Casar, and Summer Lee. And I believe, Pramila Jayapal.

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3

WWIII, or perhaps more correctly, “Armageddon”, (which I personally believe will be WWIII) doesn’t begin with Ukraine invading anyone. It will begin with Russia invading Israel. Ezekiel 38:15. “The country to the uttermost north." Look at a globe. That nation is Russia, and it is in direct alignment with Jerusalem, the nation furthest North.

"And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:" Ezekiel 38:15

Again, Russia - "the country to the utter-most North" - will one day invade Israel and start the Final Battle. What more do we need to know? It's not like a propagandist-in-chief is going to tell the truth.

Iran, who is strategically aligned with Russia is what used to be known as Persia which the Bible speaks of in Daniel 7 as the "bear". The two million man army that comes in and helps them out is believed by theologians to be China. Putin made very clear his alliance with China, saying China is not at all an aggressive nation, basically debunking Tucker's concern. He tells Tucker we are hurting ourselves by not trusting China. "Limiting cooperation with China", he tells him..."is only hurting yourself."

I really don't care what all the political pundits say. One can find a myriad of ideas on both sides. I only care what the Bible says. And it says Russia, Persia and China align against Israel. And the whole world knows, just as Putin says here, Russia and China are aligned.

However, I do not believe we are there yet. As I said earlier, the Bible says every nation will turn against Israel; so we are not there yet. Just last week, to their credit, following President Trump's lead from 2018, Argentina is the latest nation to claim Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move their embassy there. Even as the United States withdraws support, Argentina, for one, stands will Israel, so no, we aren't there yet.

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (Bold emphasis mine.)

Since according to the Bible which says EVERY nation will turn against Israel, Argentina, believe it or not, is a buffer for us right now. I firmly believe that. There are others, that will stand with Israel until that dreaded day.

The Scriptures I just mentioned should give us a clear picture that Tucker and Candace just don’t seem to understand. That this is exactly why we need to stand with Israel.

Summary

Why have I decided to spend so much time and attention on this interview?

I am deeply concerned with what I am seeing espoused by one of the greatest influencers of conservative minds. I know of no one who holds more respect for conservatives than Tucker Carlson. It has only grown since his firing at Fox...in fact, I think that simply legitimized him to his viewers, that want nothing more than to have someone to trust. The comments I am seeing throughout social media only validate my concerns. It seems everyone is falling at Tucker’s feet. The only problem is, that rather than seeing it as an opportunity to peek into the mind of a murderous communist, as everyone loves to say to justify their support of the interview, they are actually seeing Putin as a “wounded” “Christian” leader who has been betrayed by the west generally, and the United States specifically! Think about that! They view Putin as a "Christian"!! Clearly they do not understand what it means to be a Christian.

Those that want to support this interview and believe in Tucker, love to say Tucker has the right as a journalist to interview whomever he chooses. And he does!!! But is it wise? The comments of all those standing in defense of Tucker are downright frightening. There is absolutely no criticism of Putin. They all say what a great leader he is, as if they have fallen hook, line and sinker for his narrative. The scariest thing is, I believe they actually have!

We need to consider a bit more thoroughly everything we have seen in this interview. But there is no way we can properly absorb it, and dissect it if we do not consider and understand who Vladimir Putin really is.

First and foremost we should be judging Putin by his previous actions, the alliances he holds, and only then should we consider what his words tell us. His true desires are there if one listens carefully. He is an adept, trained propagandist, but if we are wise and careful and not afraid to question, we can still see who he really is. My fear is nobody seems to be doing that!!! At least, very few. We simply cannot let this narrative about Vladimir Putin stand.

“As prime minister and president, Putin has moved again and again to build a new Russian empire, most recently in his invasion of Ukraine. We can deal effectively with Putin only if we accept how much he is in thrall to Marxism-Leninism and its core idea that political power grows only out of the barrel of a gun.” Heritage Foundation

It’s who he is...whether we want it to be or not. And regardless of what Tucker Carlson tries to make us believe.

Both Tucker Carlson, and his little protege, Candace Owens, claim to be Christians. I won’t dispute that. It has been reported both are prior Democrats. I have heard Tucker deny that; but there is a part of him that reveals a liberal bent. However, it is my belief that neither have a complete understanding of the Bible, perhaps as new Christians; or maybe not very informed ones. It is also my belief that neither of them have actually removed all their former, liberal views from the recesses of their heart. There is still a very real part of them that holds to those views; and they are revealed in the way they view America (A Colonialist, and even an Imperialist nation - "America does what America does best," comment from Candace! grrrr) It is very obvious to me in the way they promote the foreign policy views that were once considered Democrat strategy.

Why do I see this as so dangerous? It’s simple. This is the exact narrative that will eventually aid in the fulfillment of Scripture, that every nation will turn against Israel. I believe they are helping the United States get there. They are greatly influencing minds and attitudes about our nation, about Russia and about Israel. That trickles down to all of us and eventually influences our politics.

Zechariah 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

All means all! And someone is going to make sure we get there...whether it be knowingly or only unwittingly. I haven’t yet figured out which category Tucker fits into...or maybe I just don’t want to believe it.
