0:00.0	Welcome to the AM Update, week in review.
0:05.0	A collection of the best moments from Aaron McIntyre's morning update.
0:09.4	Former Fox News host turned independent commentator Tucker Carlson has not been friendly, let's say, with the state of Israel in recent years.
0:18.6	Some have speculated that maybe he is on the dime or on the payroll of various
0:25.7	foreign interests. He has had a marked shift in tone when it comes to Israel and what the United
