I like Ted and I like Tucker. Our politicians should be able to answer tough questions. They should be able to justify getting involved in things like possible regime change in Iran. I understand they can’t predict the future, but you should be able to justify your positions.

Glad to see these hawk politicians who have probably never even been in a fist fight getting held to task on more regime change forever wars.

Wow, you have fully swallowed war and patriot propaganda. We're back in 2003.

On edit, I just jumped in late in it and Ted did hammer Zelensky.

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

Everyone should care. If you are going to destroy those peoples' lives, you should at least be able to quantify that. How many Iranian refugees is this going to generate? How many terrorists will this create? How much to rebuild? You know, adult questions for serious problems.

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

I 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.

The problem with regime change is ISIS after Saddam, Muzzie gangs after Gaddafi, Putin and Yeltsin after Gorbachev. etc. You don't know what you got until it's gone.

He has a new character now that he created and he will play it as long as its profitable.

The clip I’ve seen was the gotcha part where he was asking about the population of Iran which was pretty lame on Tuckers part. Cruz handled about as well as anyone could expect given the ridiculous nature of the questions asked

Cruz is defending Israel lobby right now saying they don't need to register as a foreign agent.
