As a brutal conflict intensifies between Israel and Iran, American citizens are anxiously awaiting President Trump’s decision on whether U.S. troops will be sent into combat. This hotly debated issue has even caused division among steadfast MAGA supporters, who previously stood unified in their views, leaving them uncertain about which stance to adopt. Enter Tucker Carlson and Senator Ted Cruz, two influential right-wing figures now at odds over the situation.

On June 17, Carlson released a clip of his interview with Cruz on X, sparking widespread controversy across the political landscape. In the video, Carlson sharply questions the Texas Senator’s understanding of Iran, or rather his apparent lack of it.

“How many people live in Iran, by the way?” the right-wing commentator inquires, challenging Cruz’s position that the U.S. should engage in the conflict with Iran.

“I don’t know the population,” Cruz states.

Flabbergasted, Carlson takes another jab: “You don’t know the population of the country you seek to topple?”

Indignant, Cruz responds, “I don’t sit around memorizing population tables.”

The shady exchange has sparked conversations all over the internet and has left viewers scrambling to find out where to watch the rest of Carlson and Cruz’s heated debate. If you’re wondering how you can check it out, here’s what we know.

Was the interview between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz today?

No; the intense two-hour-long interview between Carlson and Cruz presumably occurred sometime in the last few days. Clips started circulating yesterday (June 17), but the full interview was finally posted to YouTube at around 3:00 p.m. ET today (June 18). Despite their conflicting opinions, the two conservatives seemed to end things on friendly terms; this was, of course, before Cruz blew up at Carlson on X for posting “a snippet playing a ‘gotcha’ on the population of Iran.” So much for making amends.
