This week’s Shabbat [Parshat Tazria] will mark the first Shabbat of the month of Nissan; Pesach is the 15th of Nissan, and therefore it is appropriate to highlight the Torah’s perspective on the Exodus and the Haggadah.
The fifth step of the Pesach Seder [there are 15 steps, as enumerated in the popular songs that outline the Seder’s path] is known as “Maggid\telling over,” and contains the meat and bones of the Seder. During Maggid, the Jewish Nation’s path is traced from Abraham until the Exodus [roughly 400 years], and the miracles that led to and accompanied our escaping Egyptian slavery are related. Interestingly, Moshe’s name is not mentioned at all, despite his having been the central human figure of the Exodus in the Torah; commentaries explain that our faith in G-d transcends the need for any mere mortal [as great as that person is], and therefore, when celebrating our faith in G-d which was cultivated throughout the process of the Exodus, the authors of the Haggadah focused only on G-d’s role.
The opening of Maggid however, is the fascinating paragraph of “Ha Lochma Anya,” and consists of the declaration of:
הָא לַחְמָא עַנְיָא דִּי אֲכָלוּ אַבְהָתָנָא בְאַרְעָא דְמִצְרָיִם. כָּל דִכְפִין יֵיתֵי וְיֵיכֹל, כָּל דִצְרִיךְ יֵיתֵי וְיִפְסַח. הָשַּׁתָּא הָכָא, לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה בְּאַרְעָא דְיִשְׂרָאֵל. הָשַּׁתָּא עַבְדֵי, לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה בְּנֵי חוֹרִין.
This is the bread of destitution that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Anyone who is famished should come and eat, anyone who is in need should come and partake of the Pesach sacrifice. Now we are here, next year we will be in the land of Israel; this year we are slaves, next year we will be free people.

My first impression of Tucker Carlson's comments is that they were antisemitic, but after reading them in a Jewish light, he is absolutely correct: Israel will not be free until they are totally self sufficient, relying only on God for all of their needs and not supplies from the US, UN or anyone else.
Trying to follow the chronology.
The term “ year” may not be what we now recognize as a “ year” given the assigned ages of historical figures as high as 130 yrs old

That’s mild. Try listening to lectures by Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi! Lately, he’s been even more outspoken than normal about the wicked secular ruling class in Israel.

"Israel" -- by which I presume you mean Jews corporately -- will not be "free" until individual Jews come to faith in Christ Jesus. Full stop.
"And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree."
Romans 11:23-24.
What the "rabbis" say today, speaking from their synagogues of Satan, is calculated to keep Jews on the path to eternal destruction. Tucker Carlson was just stirring the pot for his own personal benefit. Nevertheless, Munther Isaac said things that professing Christians needed to hear.
Jesus is our Passover Lamb; He was slaughtered so that we may be saved. His blood is the sacrifice that covered the penalty for our sins once and for all, removing any need for further animal sacrifices. According to Jesus' own words, His blood gave us a new covenant for salvation: "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood" (Luke 22:20).
Wow.
