C’mon Cruz!
Tucker: How many people live in Iran?
Cruz: I don’t know the population. Frankly, as long as it’s less than yesterday, I don’t care.
Tucker Carlson isn't the one bombing those 92 million people. Cruz is. You'd think Cruz would have had the brains to read the one-page CIA sheet on Iran before the bombing, certainly on day one, and absolutely before going into an interview.
Then again, Cruz is still a Kanadian a heart, the country of his birth, and doesn't really care about U.S. politics.

It turns out the U.S. has been slow to anger when it comes to Iran.
Now that we’re angry, Tucker, we’ll bone up on all relevant facts.
Thanks for kicking off the tutoring sessions.
He might not know the population of Iran, but I bet Cruz could tell you how many Americans were killed by Iranian weapons and proxies.
I thought the whole purpose of our foreign military interventions was to teach geography to our citizenry.
But but but...I thought Ted Cruz knew everything...
“Tucker is pseudo here and I am sympathetic to the notion that our problems are here at home.”
Yes we have problems here at home, and we also have problems with Russia and China (who has pledged to destroy us), councils in other countries supposedly our allies conspiring against us, etc., and ignoring them won’t induce them to obligingly go away.
WTF happened to Tucker? Did he suddenly decide to explore crack cocaine?
I used to really like Tucker,,not so much now as he’s turned ahole.
And I bet Tucker didn’t know either till he googled it before attacking Ted.
It was a “ gotcha” urinalist move .
My opinion of Tucker is now in the basement.
That isn’t even close to professional behavior.”
Lots of Freepers also represent KGB interests and goals now. Anyone who doesn’t receive periodic CI training or is weak in character is susceptible to subversion and turning.
Not many here have been to war, the ultimate Dialectical Materialism paradigm, so don’t recognize subversion and propaganda imo.
90 or so million of those people are pro-U.S.
And it’s ever so clear there will be no draft notices going out from Tehran.
Accordingly, the number 92,000,000 is far more significant to the mullahs than than to Ted Cruz.
Thank God they are not in leadership and are only allowed to vote in an extremely secure election.
Tucker is off his meds.
I like Tucker - about 10% of the time. About 50% of the time, he is insane.
I don’t get Tucker lately. Seems as though he’s over the edge.
Anyone with half a brain recognizes the opportunity here, but it relies entirely upon both the will of the Iranian people to be free of the zealotry and whether or not the hardliners eliminated most/all of the opposition since their last uprising.
I can’t imagine the latter, but if they don’t step up soon, to hell with them: Lay waste. The alternative serves only 2 masters: chyna & ds.
He woke up, and got a slap in the face: I’m on the wrong side of an issue, and my ego is not going to permit me to retreat or concede defeat.
Here is why that is an important number.
Sunnis are said to vastly outnumber Shiites. But Indonesia is Sunni. Corrupts the number since they are not in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia population is less than half Iran’s and most of them are migrant, documented workers from Bangladesh and Pakistan.
And no, just get the silliness out of your brains that “It’s not the people, it’s the leadership.”
The Supreme Leader is the head of state (like King George) and much more important, he is the head of Islam’s Shiite faction, globally. Iran is 99.7ish% Shiite Muslim. They follow him willingly, not as slaves but as Muslims. This insanity about overthrowing hated leadership is like saying you expect the world’s Catholic population to rise up and overthrow of the Pope.
He’s 86. He may step down. There may be a College of Cardinals who choose the next head of Shiites, or whatever procedure is used, it will select the next head of that entire religion. The Iran Constitution specifies the leader of that religion is the overall authority over the military. But the vast majority of government functions are performed by their legislature and president, who were just democratically elected last year. Was that election clean and pure? Probably more so than ours in 2020.
Yes. The correct question is, How many of their population are hardliners and how many choose to be free of zealotry?
We may find out shortly.
Yep, FOX made him a star and now he's attacking his old colleagues like an Omarosa turn coat. Not a good look.
That obnoxious, annoying, shrill, belittling laugh of his....reminds me of a sibling who is trying to get your goat.
