“Bat Crap Crazyy”: Tucker’s summary of his debate with Ted Cruz

We’d like to thank Ted Cruz for taking time out of his busy schedule to read this newsletter. Based on his repeated Morning Note references in yesterday’s Tucker Carlson Show interview, he seems to be a fan. We’re flattered.

Aside from repeatedly plugging this product, the senator offered a plethora of thought-provoking foreign policy insights we think warrant review. A handful of them are below.

How Many People Live in Iran?

Cruz has no idea.

“I don’t know the population,” he admitted during the interview. He also conceded that he lacks knowledge about the country’s ethnic mix and said he’s “not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran.”

Doesn’t that strike you as odd? The United States has an abominable history of taking over Middle Eastern nations that most Americans would probably prefer not to relive. We’re not pulling a Douglas Murray and saying you have to be an “expert” to hold an opinion, but if you’re a United States senator seeking to topple a foreign government, shouldn’t you at least have some basic clue of what the country that government presides over is like?

Cruz doesn’t. Despite that, he wants…

Regime Change

The Texas lawmaker said “a popular uprising from the people” will fuel the execution of the neocons’ true goal: the Ayatollah’s removal. That is a fantasy. The Iranian leader’s decapitation would be directly aided by the United States and serve as the beginning of yet another American nation-building project.

Like it or not, that is simply not something we’re good at. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria offer scarring proof. With those humiliating failures looming in the not-so-distant past, are the American people seriously supposed to trust Washington and the Israeli government that this time will be different? What makes Cruz so insistent that the public should believe that?

Maybe he’s spreading such a ridiculous talking point because he’s under the influence of…

AIPAC

Here’s something we’re really not supposed to say: according to Open Secrets, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and other pro-Israel lobbying groups have given the senator nearly $2 million in campaign contributions throughout his time in politics. 

Why do you think they’ve done that? Do they make their gifts out of the goodness of their hearts? Is it philanthropy? Of course not. They cut those checks because they expect Cruz and all of their other Washington servants to use the halls of power to advance their agenda. Serve Israel first, and maybe America second if there’s time left over.

Cruz denied all of this during the interview, saying with a straight face that AIPAC is actually “an American lobby” and that it pushes policies that Benjamin Netanyahu opposes “all the time.” We’d love to hear him name one. In the meantime, we encourage you to watch this clip from Tucker’s 2024 interview with Congressman Thomas Massie for a glimpse into how this system really works.

Think AIPAC funding Cruz’s career might play a role in molding his positions? It’s a deeply reasonable question. But the lawmaker has a way to shut it down. Rather than corruption, he says his stance exists because of…

God

We would never attack the senator or anyone else for their faith. He is a Christian like us.

With that being said, his assertion that the Bible commands America to dump fortunes of taxpayer dollars into the bombing of Iran deserves skepticism.

“Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed,” Cruz recalled learning during childhood Sunday school.

We acknowledge that teaching’s existence. It comes from Genesis. But it’s worth pausing to wonder what precisely it means. Most people we talk to hear that decree as a righteous call to uphold God’s chosen people rather than one to bow down to a 21st-century country’s geopolitical aims, regardless of what they entail. Cruz seems to disagree, arguing the verse’s true demand is for unconditional support of the Netanyahu government.

Does that have any limits? What if the IDF nuked Gaza, as Congressman Randy Fine recently advocated for? Would we still have to support them then? What if they bombed Chicago? According to Cruz, the answer very well could be yes. That’s because he’s…

Obsessed with Israel

Have you ever noticed how often brash accusers are guilty of the precise behavior they claim their opponents display?

Cruz fits that description, accusing Tucker of having an “obsession with Israel.”

To state what we hope is already obvious, we are not obsessed with Israel. We’re obsessed with the United States. It’s where we and our families live, and we therefore see no international agenda as of equal importance to what’s best for this country. America comes first.

Cruz can’t say the same.

“I came into Congress 13 years ago with the stated intention of being the leading defender of Israel in the United States Senate,” he said. “And I’ve worked every day to do it.”

Imagine if a lawmaker expressed that sentiment about a different country. Say, a Congressman shouting his goal of using his office to promote the interests of Rwanda. Or Morocco. Colombia, Armenia, Malta. Wouldn’t that be weird? A dereliction of duty? American voters sent Cruz to Washington, but rather than focusing on them, he’s busy catering to the needs of Israelis?

That sure sounds like an obsession to us. And since he’s so obsessed, he’s completely comfortable with Israel’s intelligence agency…

Spying on Americans

“Friends and allies spy on each other,” Cruz nonchalantly quipped when asked if Mossad spies domestically in the United States. “I assume all of our allies spy on us.”

His message was clear: Sure, the Netanyahu government surveils the American public, but come on. It’s no big deal. They’re our “special ally,” meaning we must applaud them for attacking our country’s sovereignty by monitoring its citizens. 

Of everything the senator said during this sit-down, that quote was perhaps the most alarming. He’s completely fine with a U.S.-funded foreign government spying on the people who pay for it? Including the president?

Ignore Cruz’s propaganda. Israel spying on Americans is a big deal. It’s threatening, insulting, and a betrayal of the taxpayers perpetually doing the Israelis a favor by coughing up their hard-earned money to prop up their rulers.

Don’t share that view? Watch out. He may call you an…

Antisemite!

Cruz ran to X on Wednesday to retweet a post pushing that slanderous attack.

No matter what anyone regurgitating Netanyahu talking points says, opposing the United States sponsoring a war with Iran does not make you an antisemite, a bigot, a terrorist sympathizer, or any of the other nasty names they routinely shriek at people with whom they disagree. Levying that accusation makes them seem unserious and minimizes the historic atrocities that actual antisemites committed less than a century ago.

Take Dave Smith, a Jewish comedian who may disagree with Cruz even more than we do. Is he an antisemite, too? What about Glenn Greenwald, another Jewish American who dares to criticize the Israeli government? Does he hate his own people?

Of course not. They just want to put…

America First

As we wrote on Friday and the media conveniently failed to report, opposing destroying the United States in the name of the Netanyahu political agenda has nothing to do with Israel. It’s about America. We reject the idea of involving the U.S. in an Israeli war for the same reason we would stand against doing so on behalf of any other foreign country. It is not in our national interest.

It remains true that what happens next will define Donald Trump’s presidency. We pray he rebuffs the counsel of Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Lindsey Graham, Miriam Adelson, and anyone else pushing this war.

According to Cruz, that makes us “bat crap crazy.”

    All of the problems in the world since the First World War stem from one source… the jews’ control over the issuance of currency in every Western nation. It is the fount of ALL their power. With it, they have bought, bribed and blackmailed the media, politicians, judges and educators. Adolf Hitler put an end to this in his country during the 1930s by eliminating this strangling yoke on his people. They instantly vaulted to prosperity. And THIS… is why he was warred upon and destroyed. His example of an escapee route from this financial tyranny had to be crushed lest it catch fire in every other nation on earth.

    Until we rid ourselves of this evil entity, all of the woes that we now experience – endless wars, open borders, economic depressions, culture distortion – will continue unabated.

    Probably Trump was only allowed to win by agreeing to start this war. What this is showing is how fake our elections are. No matter who you vote for you always get another war for Israel

    A truly remarkable exchange. Tucker did a very creditable interview with the Christian Zionist senator. With a nuclear exchange lurking in the background the subject cannot be dismissed with crude references to Genesis. I would hope that Tucker would not let up on this.

      Tucker made some good points but it doesn’t change the fact that what we heard was not an interview. It was more like a debate without any rules. Or maybe a quarrel by two men in a beer parlor; in a debate you don’t talk over each other.

      Not saying I didn’t “enjoy” it in a manner of speaking, of course.

    Personally I’ve given up on Carlson. He’s not intelligent. He’s constantly interviewing Jews who obfuscate to keep the focus off Jews when in fact it’s Jews that are largely responsible for the western world’s problems.
    Granted, many Whites allowed/facilitated Jews, but they did not initiate Jew subterfuge.
    Tucker is cowardly and dishonest. Having studied his interview with Putin…, who presented an accurate historical narrative of events leading up to the invasion of the Ukraine…, and his pathetic boot licking of most things Jew, he has yet to mention the world’s foremost, non-Jew authority on Jew in-group behavior (TOO) in any of the thousands of interviews he has done inspite of the fact that TOO’s sociological model most accurately describes what is happening in the world.
    His frequent outbursts in fits of superficial and inane laughter underscore his psychotic need to entertain rather than explain geopolitical realities.
    Cruze clearly has his sights set on the presidency and Carlson has clearly assisted him in that endeavor with this interview.
    Par for the course when prioritizing popularity over truth in a nation where retards equal the rigorous in voting rights and Jews rule the roost.
    As I advised Duke before he destroyed Blitzer in that now all but forgotten interview that pretty well destroyed Blitzer’s CNN credibility, “…rip into him from the start, get a chess clock to maintain equal speaking time and take notes so you can keep track of all the lies he tells…”.
    Duke, being the gentleman that he is, only did the first of the three, but it was sufficient.
    Keep the above in mind if Carlson ever interviews someone from here.

      When DD was making some important points, Wolfie talked over him, but then DD was pretty aggressive, too. Maybe we need moderated genuine debates. Of course, that won’t happen. Even this Blitzer VS Duke style of public discussion,, where each side is sincere in his view of the other, is a thing of the past. Tucker vs Cruz was a kind of a joke, a performance IMO. They probably went for a beer together afterwards. “We agree on 80 per cent of everything…”

      Re Tucker’s cackling. Even Cruz made reference to this during their debate. And good that he did; maybe Carlson will take the hint and stop sounding so silly.

    “Christian” Zionists are some of the worst lowliest most despicable coward scum on the planet.

    True Christians need not bother with any of the “churches” in the modern world.

    If Christ himself returned today he would look at the overwhelming majority of what Christianity is now- the absolute madness- all the Jew lovers, Israel cucks, tv pervert hucksters raking in money, pop culture coco cola football rock rap Christianity as fast food, rainbow blm supporting embrace all evil and kill yourself satanic cancer that most “Christians” believe in now, and he would say:

    “I died for this SHIT? Seriously???”

    Most of today’s “Christians” are as bad as the children of Satan Jews that had Christ murdered.

    They are so lost and deceived and ignorant they would have been cheering with the Pharisees to have their savior killed
