Ted Cruz wants to demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt.
That he is so out of touch, so uncool simultaneously that no one would ever
wanna support him now, you probably already know this.
But take a look at this clip, he's going to reach a whole new audience with this.
>> That there is a real risk if if you are that that slacker barista,
who wasted seven years in college studying completely useless things.
Now has loans and can't get a job, Joe Biden Just gave you 20 grand,
like holy cow, 20 grand.
That maybe you weren't gonna vote in November and
suddenly you just got 20 grand.
And if you can get off the bong for a minute and head down to the voting station
or just send in your mail in ballot that the Democrats have helpfully sent you.
It could drive up turnout particularly among young people.
>> Okay, so Ted Cruz absolutely awful they're terrible.
We'll spotlight why.
But to be clear, he's not actually the lamest person in that video.
Because after he does his thing about getting off the bong, like it's 1941 or
something, they then cut to a wide shot.
So you can see the host of the podcast, Michael Knowles,
who gives this creepy sycophantic little grin if we could go to this shot.
Where he is so thrilled to have Ted Cruz mocking the idea that one of
these people who works a full time job.
Might do legal drugs, that guys what, like,
he couldn't be more than mid thirties or something.
He's 90 inside his crusty black heart is 90.
But anyway, Ted Cruz is saying that it doesn't matter if you work,
it doesn't matter if you grind out a living.
If you're doing something that I don't value, something stupid,
like making coffee one of the most popular products in our entire,
then you don't deserve respect.
You certainly don't deserve government action to help you.
Even if you're grinding out, getting to work at 5 AM.
So that people can show up for their 6 AM coffee.
You don't deserve any help because all you're doing is working, sweating,
toiling to produce products that people want.
And this is now a through line for the Republican Party.
They hate basically anyone who makes a drink.
So if you make coffee, if you're a barista as I was in college, screw you,
you're worthless.
Marjorie Greene has multiple times suggested that AOC.
Can't be smart because she was a bartender.
I don't know what that means.
These are both very hard working professions.
But if you're one of those people, you can be a Republican, that's your right.
Why you would be, I have no idea because they don't respect you at all.
>> This is the party that calls themselves populace that that rails about the elite.
And then now they're crapping all over someone who's a barista who's
like working a job.
I mean just it's it that the dissonance, obviously once again is so
insane and of course like the people who they're speaking to.
I mean again at the end of the day, yeah,
there's some stragglers who are like working class folks.
But it it is again, people who like are like both dads and
just middle upper, middle class dudes and that's who their base is.
So let's not like every time we get deluded about like the working class.
No, they don't have a handle on the working class, they have no idea what it's
like if it were like, tomorrow morning and all the baristas disappeared.
Which by the way, if you really were populist,
you would show your solidarity with Starbucks baristas.
Who are currently trying to unionize against Howard Schultz,
who is a democrat, by the way, if you want to find an angle to hit them.
But no, they can't be bothered for that.
That's that's too much solidarity for them.
Working class solidarity, they just wanna use it in talking points.
But yeah, it's I don't know that barista sounds dope.
I wanna hang out with them.
I haven't hit a bong in many years, but honestly, I feel like if we keep
the House and the Senate, I'll hit a bong, I'll hit a standing bong dude.
>> They seem to think that their entire job is making their side look so
unfun, so lame.
They don't like comedy, they don't want you to have fun, they wanna ban porn.
They, they wanna have personal control over your body,
why would you want to be on that side I don't know?
I don't know why you would say these things presumably
when I think about what's likely to come from it.
I imagine Ted Cruz wanted to make sure that he never, for
the rest of his life, had coffee that didn't have spit in it and
is the most efficient way to go about that I suppose.
Sorry, spit, best case scenario spit.
Anyway yeah and and by the way I worked as a barista,
who couldn't do a full shift at a busy college as a barista.
Ted freaking Cruz gets a little bit cold, he runs to Cancun.
So that's a slacker If you get $20,000 off that you're a slacker.
If you're a billionaire who suddenly like hundreds of thousands of dollars of
your taxes just evaporate.
You have to pay them anymore and
you're just making passive income off your investments.
You're a hardworking American, that's what I'm learning from them.
