Hound Dog Howl in Jerusalem: Mike Huckabee & David Friedman Turn Tucker Carlson Into the Ultimate Elvis Roast -  “Cryin’ All the Time!” Jfeed Staff. Frb 24, 2026 .

Tucker Carlson wanted a fight. He got a concert. Fresh off a prickly airport showdown where he tried to lecture America’s Ambassador to Israel about Christians, Qatar, and biblical borders, Mike Huckabee didn’t fire back with a press release. He grabbed a guitar.

Monday night at the David Citadel Hotel, Huckabee and former Ambassador David Friedman took the stage for an impromptu gig in front of a packed room of American visitors. First number? A dead-on parody of Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog,” dedicated straight to Tucker.“You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog, cryin’ all the time…” And enjoy we did.

This wasn’t random karaoke. It was surgical. Just days after Carlson tried (and spectacularly failed) to paint Israel as the villain in his two-hour airport interview, whining about Christian treatment, floating Qatar as the real holy land for believers, and acting shocked when Huckabee pointed out the actual facts, the ambassadors answered with music.

Carlson showed up on private jet, stayed airside, and spent the whole sit-down pushing narratives that sounded suspiciously like they were written in Doha.

Huckabee, never one to suffer fools, clapped back hard: Israel actually has thriving Christian communities with rights, representation, and zero fear of being jailed for owning a Bible. Qatar? Not so much.

So instead of another cable-news screamfest, Huckabee and Friedman did what legends do: they sang about it. Strumming away, grinning ear-to-ear, turning Carlson’s entire schtick into a punchline set to the King’s beat.

The room lost it. The internet lost it harder. Within hours the clip was everywhere — pro-Israel accounts cackling, Carlson fans suddenly very quiet (probably cryin’ all the time), and even neutral observers admitting: yeah, that was cold. Because here’s the thing: while Tucker was busy playing victim on his show, these two American ambassadors were in Jerusalem actually having fun, defending the Jewish state, and reminding everyone that real pushback doesn’t need 47 minutes of monologuing. Sometimes it just needs six chords and a killer hook.

Elvis left the building in 1977. Last night, his spirit showed up in a blue blazer, a red bass, and zero tolerance for nonsense. Mic drop? Nah. Guitar drop. And Tucker just got the encore he never asked for. Cryin’ all the time, indeed.

Entertaining Elvis-related musical interludes to one side, Ted Cruz and now Mike Huckabee are both entirely out-to-lunch with respect to a particular concept regarding the secular state of Israel.
