Amid the ongoing debate about whether the U.S. should go to war against Iran, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace brought up the clash between fired Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who, she said, called Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) "an idiot."

President Donald Trump has approved a war plan for Iran but is delaying any final order, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday afternoon, following a Situation Room meeting.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is not happy after his confrontational interview with far-right former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

During that interview, the pair clashed over Israel and the merits of getting involved in the conflict with Iran. Carlson asked Cruz if he even knew how many people lived in Iran, and exclaimed, "You don't know anything about Iran!" when Cruz didn't have the answer on hand. He also repeatedly asked Cruz to justify why he believed that Biblical commands for Christians to support "Israel" were equivalent to Israel, the nation established in 1948, or its current government.

President Donald Trump had a photo opportunity in the Oval Office on Wednesday, which allowed the press to shout questions about his plan for Iran. But one question involved former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who attacked Trump on his streaming show over the matter.

Speaking to MSNBC's Katy Tur, Warner said that as a member of the "Gang of 8," the top leaders who get the highest security briefings, he would be the one Democrat who should know what the goals and aims are in dealing with an Iranian nuclear threat. As it stands, he said he's completely in the dark.

John Reid, the Virginia GOP nominee for lieutenant governor and their first ever openly gay candidate for a statewide race, has faced calls from other Republicans, including outgoing Gov. Glenn Youngkin, to step down from his campaign after it was leaked that a Tumblr account matching his Instagram handle hosted explicit content, including naked pictures of men. Reid has broadly denied that he posted the salacious content, and has gone to war with a Youngkin aide whom he claims has defamed him.
