🎙️ EP#333 | DSD | Ted Cruz Melts Down on Tucker, Iran Chaos & Social Media ShowdownsIn this electric episode of Deep Shallow Dive, Ray D returns with a vengeance after a short break, unloading a fiery commentary on the political chaos surrounding Iran, Israel, and America’s ever-deepening involvement. From a deeply personal DM exchange with a longtime Persian Jewish friend to the weaponization of social media reels, Ray confronts the complexities of identity, war, and loyalty in a time of rampant disinformation. This episode doesn’t hold back — it's raw, reflective, and razor-sharp.The core of this week’s conversation centers on Senator Ted Cruz’s now-infamous interview with Tucker Carlson, where Cruz is dismantled on live camera over his lack of basic geopolitical knowledge. Ray D breaks down the viral moments that racked up millions of views, including the now-iconic “How many people live in Iran?” gaffe and a deeply misguided attempt to cite Genesis 12:3 without knowing the verse. With sharp commentary and deep receipts, Ray exposes Cruz as the ultimate political opportunist — and hilariously inserts some savage voiceover edits.But the episode doesn't stop there. Ray D zooms out to analyze decades of U.S. and Israeli foreign policy, calling out the Netanyahu “broken record” nuclear threat narrative, citing clips from Hillary Clinton, Rand Paul, Tulsi Gabbard, and even an uncensored Donald Trump moment from 2005. With over 2.5 million views across Ray’s social platforms on this week’s content alone, this episode cements DSD as one of the most unfiltered and vital political pods out there.🔥 Top 5 Key Points:Ted Cruz implodes under Tucker Carlson’s questioning on IranThe "nuclear threat" narrative has been recycled since 1996 — with zero resultsRay D’s DM battle with a Persian Jewish friend exposes deeper cultural divisionsTulsi Gabbard and Rand Paul offer rare moments of truth in U.S. foreign policyTim Dillon’s take?
