Lefties Losing It: Trump reacts to explosive Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz interview

it’s time for Lefties Losing It and you know we’ve heard the ladies of The View say some crazy catastrophically dumb stuff over the years they’re a rich source of material for this segment but this week they’ve really hit a new low listen to this derangement here wolfie Goldberg claims that Americans can’t be critical of Iran’s gross human rights abuses cuz life is just as bad for Americans in America if they’re different if they’re gay or black and it’s slow but let’s just remember too the Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings they don’t adhere to basic human rights listen here’s the thing let’s not let’s not do that let’s not do that because if we start with that we have we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car where I’m sorry but where the Iranian regime is today is nothing compared to keep hanging black people so it is not even the same i couldn’t step foot wait that’s not what you mean to say it is the same no it’s not the year 2025 the United States is nothing like if I step foot wearing this outfit into killed for I can’t have my hair showing i can’t wear a skirt i can’t have my telling you as I literally said it was up to the Iranian people it is up to them and that’s why I am saying that it is the same murdering someone for their difference is not good whoever does it it’s not good so that’s why I said you you weren’t saying what you what I heard was not what you meant i I think it’s very different to live in the United States in 2025 than it is to live in Iran not if you’re black it’s not for everybody not if you’re black i mean where do you even start is she really likening crime happening in America to the Iranian regime the government killing gay people killing infidels beating and locking up women for showing their hair can she possibly be that stupid or is she just a massive liar cuz right now there are no other options nobody wants to diminish the very real problems we have in this country that’s no one’s intent but I think it’s important we remember there are places much darker than this country and people who deserve right not everybody feels that way not everybody feels that way listen I’m sorry you know when you think about the fact that we were we got the vote in 1965 as you Okay they don’t have free and fair elections in Iran it’s not even the same universe they can’t go out of their house women you know what there’s no there’s no way I can make you understand no words are not your friends Whoopi neither is logic and facts perhaps white savior the awful affluent white female lefty Joy Behar can explain it for you try to reverse roles with a with a a black person in this country let’s say because I think that’s what you’re talking about just try to understand from their point of view from that point of view this country does not do them well does not go through their relative if you’re talking about Iran Iran of course is doing worse things but relatively speaking it feels bad relatively speaking are these women insane you heard Sunny there say we shouldn’t compare atrocities what like someone not respecting your pronouns compared to being hung in the public square for crimes like adultery homosexuality and blasphemy really and the viewers had a terrible week cuz they had Hollywood star and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on and he being a bit of a TDS sufferer they expected him to rail against Trump’s deportation program he didn’t and they weren’t happy you are an immigrant you you’re an immigrant in this country uh did you have a a a visceral reaction to what they’re doing what I doing when you see the videos of it well I tell you you said that the immigrant I’m so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people like that i mean imagine I came over here with the age of 21 with absolutely nothing and then to create a career like that oh no he’s not answering as they expect maybe he’ll eventually bag the country bag the deportation program but no Anie wants immigrants to behave legally but the key thing also is at the same time that we got to do things legal that is the important thing you know so we got to do things legal and those people that are doing illegal things in America and that are foreigners they are not smart because when you come to America you’re a guest and you have to behave like a guest and to make my bed and to do everything that is the right thing to do rather than committing a crime or being abusive or something like that so that doesn’t really work in this country did you see Sunny’s hand just reach out and touch his arm there trying to curb his stream of consciousness no Annie you are supposed to say nobody is illegal there’s nothing wrong with breaking the law to enter the country or breaking the law while in the country now let’s check in with an Ivy League graduate here is one from Colombia decked out in a kafir naturally and what a useful degree he’s acquired today I’m graduating with a degree in comparative literature and society the comparative literature department at Columbia is cool because it asks you to choose a couple languages and build this sort of hodge podge degree of your interests what kind of job can you get in this field people go to med school people go to law school a lot of people go to any amount of graduate school and then I feel like a lot of people also end up in corporate spaces as well and sadly that’s the problem these brainwashed activists end up in the corporate world and do great damage while they’re often in HR or corporate affairs departments now good news some new pronouns have just dropped you know they them zezy so 2024 now the crazy narcissistic kids are identifying with new pronouns like pup and puppy pup puppy but why might someone want to use pup puppy as pronouns well this person can have a strong connection to puppies and identify with some of their qualities like loyalty energy or softness it could also be a way to express a non-human identity some people feel that being human doesn’t fully describe who they are so they identify as non-human so using pronouns like pup puppy can help a person describe that feeling and please remember that this is a person’s experience and just because you don’t know or you can’t relate to this person’s experience doesn’t mean that it’s wrong doesn’t mean that it’s bad and it does not mean that you have the right to bully that person but you can mock them because it’s fun and frankly it’s a little bit necessary you see affirming madness affirming delusion isn’t being kind it’s being weak and part of the problem but for those of you who want to respect neoprons like pup and puppy this is how you do it no one’s trying to hurt you by using these pronouns no one’s trying to harm you by using these pronouns someone’s just trying to live their own life so you live your own life and you let them live their own life okay pup doesn’t owe anyone an explanation pup gets to define puppy self or not people keep asking but Pup made it clear what pup is isn’t up for discussion i’ve said it before and I’ll say it again donald Trump is the funniest president we’ve ever had and will ever have no other leader could turn a flag raising ceremony into a comedy skit so somewhere here you have that anyway uh let’s have a good they call it a lifting they also use another word but I’m not going to use that word you know what that is the word it starts with an E you know what the word is if I ever used it I’d be run out of town by you people all right so enjoy it and President Trump hosted Juventus at the White House and the issue of men in women’s sport came about and the h the team squipped it men playing in women’s sports you know D was never heard that have you ever had women could a woman make your team fellas tell me you think you’re being nice what do you think think a woman could make the team general managers what do you think you do say it close we have a very good women’s team though you do have But they should be playing with women right now Donald Trump has addressed the fallout from Tucker Carlson’s fiery interview with Senator Ted Cruz and the question of whether America’s role in the Israel Iran conflict will fracture the president’s supporter base have you seen the Tucker Carlson Senator Ted Cruz interview it seems like this issue on whether or not the United States should strike is kind of dividing a lot of your supporters uh no my supporters are for me my supporters are America first they make America great again my supporters don’t want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon tucker’s a nice guy he called and apologized the other day because he thought he said things that were a little bit too strong and I appreciated that and Ted Cruz is a nice guy i mean he’s been with me for a long time i’d say once the race was over he’s been with me ever since right but um very simple uh if they think that it’s okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon then they should oppose me but nobody thinks it’s okay people that don’t want I don’t want to fight either i’m not looking to fight but if it’s a choice between fighting and them having a nuclear weapon you have to you have to do what you have to do there are certainly many not a majority but many on the right and many independents who do not want to see America involved in another foreign war it’s a position Tucker Carlson has articulated very well including in the interview with Senator Cruz let’s have a look at a little of that exchange how many people live in Iran by the way i I don’t know the population at all no I don’t know the population you don’t know the population of the country you seek to topple i How many people live in Iran 92 million okay yeah i How could you not know that i was taught from the Bible those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed and from my perspective I want to be on the blessing side of things of the those who bless the government of Israel those who bless Israel is what it says doesn’t say the government of it says the nation of Israel so that’s in the Bible as a Christian I believe that where is that i I can find it to you i I don’t have the the scripture off the tip of my you pull out the phone and use the It’s in Genesis but so you’re quoting a a Bible phrase you don’t have context for it and you don’t know where in the Bible it is but that’s like your theology i’m confused what does that even mean and earlier today Donald Trump gave more insights into his uh conversation with Tucker Carlson after that interview it’s interesting because I did ask Tucker i said “Well are you okay with nuclear weapons being in the hands of Iran?” And he sort of didn’t like that he didn’t want to ruin but he sort of didn’t like that and I said “Well if it’s uh if it’s okay with you then you and I do have a difference but it’s really not okay with him therefore you may have to fight.” And maybe it’ll end and maybe it’ll end very quickly but there’s no way that you can allow whether you have to fight or not you can allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon because the entire world will blow up not going to let that happen joining me now is president of the center of the American experiment John Hinderka john thank you so much for your time tonight how concerned is Donald Trump about his base fracturing over this issue i’ve got to say he didn’t seem too concerned uh during that press conference rita he’s not concerned and he doesn’t need to be concerned tucker Carlson does not speak for any significant portion of Donald Trump’s base or the Republican party on this issue the idea that there is a significant uh part of the Republican party that is pacifist or isolationist or anti-Israel is is a fiction you know there there just isn’t Trump’s base is with him and I think he knows that and there’s poll data we could talk about if you want to Rita that I think really uh really supports that john uh let’s look at some of that polling fox News has released data just today showing 73% of registered voters think Iran poses a real threat to the US that’s a 13point increase from just 6 years ago interesting too when you look at the uh the breakdown of the different voter groups uh a majority of Democrats 69% 82% of Republicans and 62% of independents agree Iran poses a real risk and those numbers are up from 2019 across the board but John when it comes to the strikes against Iran it’s evenly split 49% approve and 46% disprove um disapproved but Republicans 73% approval well above the independents and Democrats at 32% is that data where you’d expect it to be it’s still showing that the majority of Republicans stand with the Trump administration in backing these strikes well that’s right there’s a partisan split here Rita as there is on virtually every issue in the United States but you know another survey came out today that I think is really interesting it was from JL partners they surveyed Americans they surveyed Republicans but they also surveyed self-identified MAGA Republicans and that’s interesting because 81% of self-identified MAGA Republicans say that they support Israel’s strikes on Iran and 65% of MAGA Republicans say they support American strikes on Iran even though that really is not even uh on the table at this point and by 84% to 3% think about that Rita in polling 84% to 3% mega Republicans support Israel not Iran so again I think Trump’s base is with him i think he’s got solid support there now how do you see the administration handling the next phase of this conflict president Trump said today he hasn’t made up his mind about the US joining Israel in striking Iranian nuclear sites and he also said he will likely come to his decision 1 second before it’s due now I presume this is his strategy to keep everyone guessing uh do you think John he knows precisely what he’s going to do well maybe not Rita i think what he does depends on how things play out uh he won’t strike Iran unless the Israelis need us to strike Iran and the way it looks to me is there’s only one scenario where that could be true and that is the nuclear base at Ford the Iranian base which is buried deep under a mountain and the American bunker uh buster bombs may be the only thing that can get through that mountain and destroy that base i don’t know the Israelis may be able to disable it even without that weaponry but I think if push comes to shove and that weaponry is needed to finish off Iran’s nuclear program then I think it’s likely that Trump will uh will give the green light what about targeting the Supreme Leader is that something that is a step too far for the administration is regime change really not a goal right now it’s all just about eliminating Iran’s nuclear ambitions rita regime change actually absolutely needs to be the goal if the moolas stay in power they are going to get back to to they’ll reconstitute Hamas and Hezbollah which have been devastated a little time will go by and they’ll start working on the nuclear weapons again the world is not safe until Iran starts to become a normal modern country which is what I think the large majority of Iranians want so one way or another I do think regime change needs to be the goal now that doesn’t necessarily mean uh killing the Ayatollah uh I I think there are various ways that could take place in the end it’s going to be up to the Iranian people but I think we should do what we can to try to bring that about now you mentioned the Iranian people and what they want i want to play you bit of footage from Iran this was shot shot by a man in Thran um footage of Israeli fighter jets over the city near the Supreme Leader residence i speak f Persian and those translations are accurate he was just uh pleading with them to strike to hit the targets uh undoubtedly there are many Iranians in Iran and those who have already fled who want to see the end of this regime and they really don’t care if it’s Israel or the US that make it happen john well Rita you’re familiar with the concept of a preference cascade where people have been oppressed and nobody can say what he really thinks because if you do that you might get shot and then things start to change and things start to shift and all of a sudden people start saying what they actually think and once that begins to happen things can change very very fast and we have seen regimes collapse virtually overnight it turns out that they’re much more fragile than than people thought and I’m hopeful that may happen in Iran that the Iranians may find a way to rise up and get rid of this terrible regime now before you go just on domestic matters the inflation rate has been lower under Donald Trump than the Biden administration it’s stayed low and in fact dropped despite tariff fears uh real wages are up slightly the illegal immigration crisis is certainly over how do you judge this second term compared to Donald Trump’s first term well he’s off to a much better start Rita no doubt about that and I think a key point is he is fulfilling his campaign promises he’s doing what he said he was going to do he’s closed the border real wages are up inflation is flat um the he’s he’s at least begun the process of trying to get a handle on on government spending and he’s starting to rebuild the military these are things he promised to do and he’s doing them so I think he’s off to a terrific start john Hinderka always a pleasure thank you so much for your time tonight thank you Rita
