NEW: Republican Senator Ted Cruz is completely stumped after Tucker Carlson asks him what the population of Iran is.

Tucker: How many people live in Iran?
Cruz: I don't know the population.
Tucker: You don't know the population of the country you seek to topple?

I’ve never fully trusted Teddy…. still can’t, but this is polarizing.
What is going on with Tucker lately? Bit by bit, he seems to have something turning his wheels left. I loved him bigly, but the spirit has changed. I am hoping that some kind of chess moves were being made for some greater good.
But this was brutal and nasty chess.
Tucker, do I now need to start calling you Tucker the F—er?
Tucker – seems like he’s turning left? Nope. Just because some MAGA/Trump supporters are IN for a war event while others are NOT – doesn’t mean anyone is ‘turning left’. In fact what Tucker’s been saying – is repeating the very same things which Trump ran on and vowed.
No, there’s gotta be some deeper moves going on. Like the Elon/Don ‘fight’. I DO agree with Bannon – as expressed in the Bannon/Carlson inverview where it was the TCN show but in DC the other day: that this intense escalation is showing that the President on his will or ideology alone – is not enough to overcome the blob,the deepstate bureaucracy embedded war machine. He kept tying to entice Tucker into going to work under Trump as an inside advisor.
