"Neither of these ppl are dumb. I worked w/ them at Fox. They know how to Google basic facts. The US provides $3.8 billion (NOT $1.5 trillion) but Israel spends many X over that on US. We get a huge ROI-are they too lazy to research or intentionally lying?" Huckabee wrote in response to the video.

 

Mike Huckabee, U.S. Ambassador to Israel, responded to a video clip on X of Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson discussing the level of funding the U.S. provides Israel, saying the amount they mentioned is incorrect.

"Neither of these ppl are dumb. I worked w/ them at Fox. They know how to Google basic facts. The US provides $3.8 billion (NOT $1.5 trillion) but Israel spends many X over that on US. We get a huge ROI-are they too lazy to research or intentionally lying?" Huckabee wrote on X in response to the video.

In the clip, Carlson said that Israel "could not sustain a blockade or defend itself for 24 hours without the $1.5 trillion U.S. military backstopping it and enforcing the long-standing defense guarantee."

He continued, saying, "If that were to go away, Israel would have two choices: Suffer elimination or use nuclear weapons."
