Incredulous Tucker Carlson shouted the match with Ted Cruz on basic Iranian facts: “ You call the overthrow ”
Tucker Carlson had an appalling argument with a conservative colleague, Texas senator, Ted Cruz, in the last episode of his podcast, when the duo discussed the potential American military action against Iran. But the heat did not concern the action itself, but rather on basic facts on the country of Western Asia.
Cruz fully supported the attack on Iran, and Carlson, who recently was insulted by Donald Trump for opposing such an action, gave Cruz the case of Cruz’s real lack of real knowledge on a country he wishes to attack.
“How many people live in Iran, by the way?” Asked Carlson. “I do not know the population at all … I do not know the population,” Rpelié Cruz.
“Do you not know the population of the country you are looking to overthrow?” Carlson, asked with an incredulous tone of voice. He then specified that Iran currently has a population estimated at 92 million inhabitants. “How could you not know?”
“I am not sitting on memorizing population tables,” he spit Cruz. “Well, it’s a bit relevant, because you are asking for the overthrow of the government,” said Carlson.
When Cruz asked why it matters, Carlson said, “Why don’t you know anything about the country?” He then questioned Cruz about the ethnic composition of Iran, to which Cruz replied “You know nothing about Iran, you are the one who claims that they do not try to assassinate Donald Trump.”
To this, Carlson broke out in a sarcastic laugh, declaring “you don’t believe that” in Cruz. At this stage, Cruz referred to the Israeli strikes on Iran, although he used the pronoun “We” to describe it, which sounded in the moment as if the United States and Israel were carrying out joint operations.
“You announce the news here because the American government last night denied [it],,
Said Carlson. “The spokesman for the National Security Council Alex Heifer, denied, on behalf of Trump, that we act on behalf of Israel on an offensive basis.”
“We don’t bomb them, Israel bombed them: Crus insisted.” You just said that we were, “said Carlson.
Anyway, you all get the essentials. Look at the wild argument below:
