This is one of the most devastating clips I've seen in a long time. Credit to Tucker Carlson. Ted Cruz justifies the war on Iran based on a single biblical verse taken out of context and Tucker isn't having it. This is what interviewing looks like.

Just like everywhere else.

I lived and traveled in Iran for months. In Tehran I lived with the family of a retired bank worker who saw me looking for housing. I roomed with his son for months, ate all my meals with them, and they never accepted any money. Once I was sick and throwing up and they all came
