I’m not sold on us going to war with anyone but Tucker trying to make a mark with the population “gotcha” question is as weak as it gets. It’s irrelevant whether Cruz knows the population of Iran. I’m embarrassed for Tucker
How the fk is it not relevant to know how many people will be in danger and shouldn’t we know where 90M people will be displaced too?? Or you just want to murder all of them?

Cruz is very much into labels and categorization and once labeled or boxed into a category you are there for life despite new data and circumstances.

No matter what Ted says, Tucker responds "that's not what I'm asking" or "I already know that."

You know nothing about the people of Iran they are not like Iraq or Afghanistan. They want the Shia leaders out.


I don’t care, at this point, what the people of Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan or Botswana or Cuacao are like. We are flat fricking broke, it’s time for others to take care of themselves.

If we are on the verge of toppling the Iraniat regime, it is ABSOLUTELY RELEVANT to know how many people we are about to become responsible for. Being non-chalant about these kind of details is the reason why Afghanistan was such a hot mess.

listened toward the end and it's a total shiteshow. I have to say, Tucker doesn't respond well when Ted says some reasonable things -- it's hard to explain why, but he just kind of giggles and acts like a child. I agree with Tucker's overarching point that he thinks the politicians don't care about this country whatsoever and mostly focus on foreign policy fiascos.

Tucker just exposed the shite out this foreign imposter who ran for the Senate to help Israel.

Then you do that by arming and funding an opposition within the country. Not by bombing them back to the Stone Age and creating mass bedlam overnight if we even have to attempt a regime change.

Cruz making the assertion that "Iran" trying to assassinate Trump. Will not provide any specifics or evidence. Just trust me bro.

And after saying 10 min or so prior that "Words" mean things.

I'd just like to point out that European powers are the one that created this issue. Germany uprooted the Jews from Europe and the British/French dumped them in Palestine and gave them land that wasn't theirs to give.

I wish Tucker wasn’t such a tool bag…. I like the words that come out of his mouth but his face when asking them pisses me off.

Putin and Yeltsin after Gorbachev was probably a net positive despite the fact that many people would disagree.


Sure, but was that our hand picked team?

Just got through the entire interview. I thought the first hour and thirty minutes was very productive. Then the last 30 minutes when they kept going back and forth on Russia and Ukraine there were no points made. But overall it was a good interview.

Tucker was effective, but he would have been even more universally effective if he has just asked questions and then stfu and let Ted answer. His constant interrupting and speaking down to Ted with a condescending tone came off as liberal-ish.

30 mins in and this is my first view of TC's new show after leaving Fox. I don't know why he takes such a simplistic view of the world with only binary choices...sure I agree with the decay of American society but I don't think that is directly a result of us spending a dollar abroad that "could" have been spent at home.

Ted Jewz got very uncomfortable when Tucker talked about his masters.
