This is moment in the interview that went viral almost instantly, Senator Ted Cruz found himself completely cornered by a single, brutal question from none other than Tucker Carlson.
Tucker’s question was simple:
"Is it in America’s interest for Israel to spy on us, including on the President?”
That’s it. That’s the whole question. Straightforward. No ambiguity. And yet Ted Cruz, usually slick, always ready with a lawyered-up response, couldn’t give a straight answer. The man fumbled. He has a huge ego but he dodged. He spun. But he didn’t answer the question.
Why not?
There's nothing complicated about geopolitics when it’s about national sovereignty. The basic premise or idea is simply that no foreign country, not even the so-called "closest allies," should be running surveillance operations against the United States government, it's officials, or especially the President of the United States.
But this man, with mountain sized egofaced with that basic truth, he couldn’t say it.
Instead, what you see is in the interview is him dancing around when he doesn’t have the footwork for it. He tried to pivot to Iran, then he goes to invoke the threat of terrorism. He pulled every standard D.C. deflection trick in the book. But none of it landed.
Because Tucker kept pressing, and you can see that Mr Cruz kept squirming. You can never be too prepared for an interview nomatter how slick and smart you think you are. The moment stripped away all the usual Beltway theater. Tucker did not to try to play a debate on policy nuance or some far-flung foreign entanglement, he went for the man, a test of principle, one that required nothing more than a backbone and a clear answer. Mr Ted Cruz didn’t have either.
Worse still, his refusal to answer only made the suspicion louder. If a sitting U.S. Senator can’t say unequivocally that foreign espionage against the President is against America’s interests, what can he say? What is he protecting? Who is he afraid of offending?
This was man was exposed, it wasn’t just political hesitation. Ted Cruz showed exactly where his priorities are, and where they aren’t. He made it obvious that when faced with a direct conflict between defending American sovereignty and pleasing powerful allies, he won’t take the risk of choosing America out loud.
So when you reflect on it, he didn’t say the wrong thing as such. The man wouldn’t say the right thing.
Just the one question. No spin. No safe answer. Ted Cruz folded in real time when it really counted, live on camera, under pressure. Slavery has different layers, that layer of puppets was on display. With all that money, trillions and trillions of dollars, how does it contribute to lives of ordinary tax payers. Make it make sense. You would think Americans would be working a 3 day week in stead of 3-jobs, sinking in debt, no healthcare, no benefits for making America great. How do people get brain washed and indoctrinated into believing all these wars bring them benefits ? The enemy is within. Tucket should have also asked him what do they have on him. We now know from Elon, what they have on Trump. The man's rants are a cry of help, not bravado.
