Can you imagine someone being
even lower than Ted Cruz?
Well, it would be Sean Hannity who
went out of his way, he went so far
out of his way to defend Ted Cruz's
trip to Cancun that Ted Cruz
himself had to double back and
correct Sean Hannity on
the particular details.
Let's take a look at that clip.
>> You went and you took
your daughter's to Cancun and
you came back.
I think you can be a father and
be the senator of Texas all at
the same time and make a round trip
quick drop off trip and come home.
I'm not really sure,
I thought we learned
during COVID that teleschool,
telemedicine, teleworking,
Zoom calls, all this other stuff
changed the way we do everything.
Now I'm not assuming that
the people of Texas thought
you were going to go out there with
blow torches and antifreeze and
get the wind turbines going, but
you raise a good question and
that is, with all the natural
resources at Texas why is
Texas relying on wind turbines?
I didn't see much criticism there
early lid that Joe Biden put on
things while the people in Texas,
he could use federal help, but
there's always that
double standard.
You made the right call
coming back.
You also can be a father, there's
also something called technology,
we also know what teleworking is
and I think there's a lot of
sanctimony and politics being
played in this attack.
>> Now, Ted Cruz came back
later on and
let him know that that he didn't
intend on coming back immediately.
But that's beside the point,
Sean Hannity also included his
little jab against renewable
energy, the windmills,
as if the problem in Texas is
a problem of the Green New Deal.
But this doesn't stop Republicans
and Conservatives and Apparatchiks,
like Sean Hannity from doing
the bidding of big energy and
protecting the oil industry at
the expense of human life.
But Helen and Jake, it is really
something I I thought Sean Hannity
at least had enough self dignity to
preserve his reputation, but he's
managed to go lower than Ted Cruz.
So maybe that's just my naivete.
[LAUGH] >> Yeah, So first of all, I
loved every part of those excuses.
You were just going to drop them
off, Is that a thing people do?
They go Cancun do drop off their
kids, Maybe rich people do it,
I don't know.
Like they're like, yeah, I'll pay
for a whole plane ticket and
I'll waste the whole day to go drop
off the kids at the Ritz Carlton
at Cancun, but he made it sound in
the beginning like,
I had no because who else is
going to drop off the kids?
Your wife was with you.
>> Exactly [INAUDIBLE] >> It's
not like his wife wasn't there and
she's she's completely incapable of
taking two kids to Cancun.
>> Yeah, and
then of course we found out later,
no his itinerary was that he was
going to stay through Saturday,
from Wednesday to Saturday.
So even Cruz was embarrassed enough
as as Ben pointed out later in
the interview to say I was
going to stay through Saturday.
>> Okay [LAUGH] [LAUGH] >> My
favorite part of that video is that
Hannity is going on and, on and,
on and it's the split screen with
Cruz and Cruz is like, uh-huh
[LAUGH] >> Yeah >> Ted Cruz like if
you really are going to go this far
on my behalf, don't let me stop you
but- >> Like he's just sweating,
it's like yeah, it's like you said,
yeah, I mean that's right.
>> [INAUDIBLE] Go [INAUDIBLE], my
God >> [LAUGH] He's like go
[INAUDIBLE] Go, go [INAUDIBLE] Go,
that's what he's thinking.
>> Totally, he's saying,
thank God he's saying because I
would have been embarrassed to say.
>> [LAUGH] Poor guy though,
that what really trips me out about
Ted Cruz is is is- >> Everything
>> Everything, but
the way he threw his daughters
under the bus in the first place,
who does that to your children,
your children are going to be able
to look this up today, right?
In six years, their future spouses,
their children are going to look up
and say no, why did paw paw
throw you under the bus mom and
what are they going to say.
Well, because our dad was Ted Cruz,
he didn't stand up for
Heidi Cruz, so why would we expect
them to stand up for the children.
>> I cannot wait till the day
when those Cruz girls get their
Twitter handle [INAUDIBLE] >> I
cannot wait, I mean,
they are just- >> Yes.
>> Woo! >> I don't even want to see
it, but look, Ben, the entire Cruz
family is under that bus.
So Trump called his dad a murderer,
and Ted Cruz was like, who cares?
It's politically expedient now,
because Donald Trump's [INAUDIBLE],
so under the bus you go Dad.
He called his wife ugly under
the bus you go, I the daughter is
now under the bus and even
snowflake their dog they locked him
at home in the freezing house.
So, I mean if he'll do it to
snowflake, he'll do it to anybody.
>> Who calls their dogs see see
there, so ideologically just just
asinine, that they go as far as to
call their dog snowflake, because
he wanted to make a political
statement and then snowflake almost
froze, so there you go.
>> Okay, but by the way,
why did they get a sneaky suspicion
that her dog was liberal?
[LAUGH] >> That's the thing they
call like people on the left, but
but ironically, they didn't
give snowflake a safe space.
[LAUGH] >> Jake I'm in the age
category now where all of your
jokes are funny to me man,
I'm serious, they are dad jokes
to be sure, but I appreciate them
because they really resonate with
my spirit I thank you for that.
>> I am 100% with you, Ben,
I just want to know, was snowflake,
medicare for
all [LAUGH] >> Green New Deal
[LAUGH] >> Ted Cruz's like all he
wants his treats and
he's not even a millionaire, no.
>> No [CROSSTALK] >> The dog
needs food and shelter and
the dog needs its snow flakes.
>> Student debt relief [INAUDIBLE].
>> [LAUGH] Should I
get a minimum treat?
[LAUGH] >> Snacks for
all >> I don't know, I'm sorry,
I just I had it.
>> So last thought on this is I'm
going to bring us down by talking
about policy.
So Henry mentioned wind turbines,
no, that's been 100% debunked.
It was the oil and
gas pipelines that froze.
There the overwhelming majority of
the energy grid in in Texas and
the other ones that froze, and that
was because they were deregulated,
and the government suggested that
they get insulation for a situation
like this, but didn't make them get
it and they lo and behold, they
decided not to take on those costs.
So they can make more money and
then eventually when you die,
that's your problem not theirs and
now by the way, they're asking for
government handouts.
So when Hannity says,
Joe Biden's fault, for what?
[INAUDIBLE] >> Gave federal aid
instantly, what he should have done
is said, no until you connect to
the federal energy grid which would
have saved you in this instance,
I'm not giving you federal aid,
because you're being dumb and
endangering the lives of your own
citizens.
>> I mean,
we just said in a previous story,
an earlier story earlier that this
hour that, the gas company in Texas
is high fiving themselves being
chit chatting.
We've hit the jackpot with
these people freezing to death,
we can just we got them over
the barrel and and then he's
going to bring up wind turbines,
get the f out of here.
>> Yeah [INAUDIBLE] >> And
then hold all all that tele stuff
was hilarious to, I know we could
do it yeah to teleaid to people in
need a totally happens.
You can do telefood, you just shove
the food into the camera [LAUGH]
>> And then the people who cannot
have any food in Houston will just
magically get, everybody knows
that, everybody knows that.
[LAUGH] >> Okay.
AOC actually got raised $2 million
to actually help them and finally,
let me make this note, Ted Cruz
like, no no no, I'm back I'm back.
I'm here to help the people of
Texas, that's why I immediately did
a giant media tour and I'm going to
what's really important,
I'm not in Cancun anymore.
I'm talking to Sean Hannity
on Fox News and
that's how I was spending my time.
>> Yeah. [CROSSTALK] >> All I
can say is I hope that snowflake
took the biggest dump in their bed
>> [INAUDIBLE] Manimals are- >> No-
>> Innocent.
>> You know why?
Hellen thinks it's a dog eat
dog world,
you gotta do what you gotta do.
[LAUGH] >> I'm in good
company here.
[LAUGH] >> Yeah >> I'm going to
tell that joke to my kids tonight,
love it.
[LAUGH]
