STEVE: "THE NEW YORK TIMES"
FORCED TO WALK BACK ITS STORY ON
JUSTICE BRETT KAVANAUGH BUT
DEMOCRATIC HOPEFULS WASTED NO
TIME CALLING FOR
BRETT KAVANAUGH'S IMPEACHMENT.
WILL ANY OF THEM CHANGE THEIR
TUNE NOW?
HERE TO WEIGH IN SENATE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBER TED
CRUZ JOINING FROM US OUR
NATION'S CAPITOL, WHERE I
UNDERSTAND YOU WERE PART OF
ROASTING BEN SHAPIRO FOR
COMMENTARY MAGAZINE?
>> I WAS.
MONDAY NIGHT, WE HAD A BIG
BANQUET IN NEW YORK WHERE WE
ROASTED BEN.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
IT WAS BARE KNUCKLE.
BEN TOOK IT WELL.
IT WAS NOT GENTLE.
THERE WERE A WHOLE LOT OF SHORT
JOKES.
A WHOLE LOT OF OBSERVATIONS THAT
HE LOOKS ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD.
I THINK MY OPENING LINE OF THE T
I THINK MY OPENING LINE OF THE E
EVENING WAS WELCOME TO THE
SHAPIRO BAR MITZVAH, THANK YOU
FOR COMING.
BEN TOOK IT GOOD NATUREDLY, HE
GOT UP, FIVE OF US ROASTED HIM,
HE GOT TO GET UP ROAST ALL FIVE
OF US BACK.
BEN GAVE AS GOOD AS HE GOT.
STEVE: THAT'S GREAT.
LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH.
SOME OF YOUR COLLEAGUES IN THE
SENATE ON DEMOCRATIC SIDE SAY HE
SHOULD BE IMPEACHED EVEN THOUGH
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" HAD TO WALK
THE STORY BACK.
>> FOR DEMOCRATS IT IS ALL
POLITICS, THEIR BASE IS ANGRY.
THERE IS SOMETHING BIGGER GOING
ON.
THIS IS SOMETHING BIGGER GOING
ON.
THIS IS ABOUT TRYING TO
INTIMIDATE THE COURT, SENDING A
MESSAGE TO KAVANAUGH AND JOHN
ROBERTS.
THEY BELIEVE IF THEY TO AT THE
COURT, INDEPENDENCE OF COURT,
THEY CAN CHANGE RULINGS TO CAUSE
JUSTICES NOT TO FOLLOW THE LAW.
THIS "NEW YORK TIMES" STORY EVEN
FOR "THE NEW YORK TIMES" WAS
RIDICULOUS.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THE STORY
IS, WELL SOME GUY SAID SOME
OTHER GUY SAID SOMETHING
HAPPENED.
WE DISCOVER, NUMBER ONE, MAX
STIER, THE ALLEGED WITNESS
DIDN'T TALK TO THE REPORTERS AT
ALL.
THE GUY THEY BASED THE WHOLE
STORY ON NEVER TALKED TO THEM.
THEY ISSUE THIS CORRECTION THAT
IS RATHER STUNNING.
OH, BY THE WAY THE WOMAN WHO IS
THE ALLEGED VICTIM DIDN'T TALK
TO US.
STEVE: RIGHT.
>> TELLS HER FRIEND SHE DOESN'T
REMEMBER AT ALL.
THE ALLEGED VICTIM ISN'T
ALLEGING ANYTHING.
HERE IS THE POINT, "THE NEW YORK
TIMES," THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE
DOING.
THIS WAS NOT ACCIDENTAL.
I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS FAIRLY
HYSTERICAL, WATCHING THE
REPORTERS ON TV BLAMING THE
EDITOR.
OH, IT IS THE EDITOR'S FAULT.
IF YOU DID THIS ON A HIGH SCHOOL
PAPER, IF YOU WERE FRESHMAN IN
HIGH SCHOOL, YOU SUBMITTED THIS
STORY, YOU WOULD GET AN F.
IT IS LIKE YOU WRITE A STORY,
ACCUSING SOMEONE OF MURDER, AND
THEN YOU HAVE A CORRECTION AT
THE END, OH BY THE WAY THE GUY
WE SAID MURDERED STILL ALIVE
DOING FINE, SAID NOTHING
HAPPENED.
THAT, THE REASON IS THEY WANT TO
INTIMIDATE THE COURT.
SO NONE OF THE DEMOCRATIC 2020
PRESIDENTIALS WILL RETRACT.
IT IS NOT ABOUT FACTS.
IT IS ABOUT CRAZY LEFT-WING
IDEOLOGY.
THAT IS WHERE "THE TIMES" IS.
THAT IS WHERE THE CANDIDATES
ARE.
SADLY "THE TIMES" IS NOW ABOUT
PROPAGANDA.
STEVE: YOU MENTIONED 2020
DEMOCRATS.
BETO O'ROURKE FROM YOUR HOME
STATE OF TEXAS, TALKING ABOUT
HOW THEY WILL COME FOR THE GUNS.
>> YEAH.
>> SOME OF THE GUNS.
TALK ABOUT YOUR PROTECTING
COMMUNITIES AND PRESERVING THE
SECOND AMENDMENT ACT THAT YOU
ARE BEHIND.
>> WELL, LOOK, I THINK WE NEED
TO ACT TO STOP BEGIN VIOLENCE.
I WAS IN ODESSA AFTER THE
SHOOTING IN TEXAS.
I WAS IN EL PASO AFTER THE
SHOOTING THERE.
I WAS IN SUTHERLAND SPRINGS
AFTER THAT SHOOTING.
IN SANTA FE AFTER THAT SHOOTING.
THESE MASS MURDERS ARE HORRIFIC.
WE NEED TO STOP IT.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS
EFFECTIVE TO STOP MASS MURDERS.
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE PUSHING
THE GUN CONTROL OBJECTIVE.
THREE OF THE 10 DEMOCRATS ON
THAT DEBATE STAGE ARE ACTIVELY
ADVOCATING FEDERAL GUN
CONFISCATION.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FORCIBLY
TAKING YOUR FIREARMS.
THAT IS THEIR AGENDA.
THAT DOESN'T WORK.
THAT DOESN'T STOP CRIMES.
AND IN FACT, WHEN YOU DISARM
PEOPLE, YOU INCREASE CRIMES.
SO WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO, WE OUGHT
TO PASS LEGISLATION --
STEVE: QUICKLY.
>> THAT I INTRODUCED IN 2013.
GRASSLEY-CRUZ, IT TARGETS
FELONS, FUGITIVES, THOSE WITH
DANGEROUS MENTAL ILLNESS.
STOPS THEM FROM GETTING GUNS.
IT PUTS THEM IN JAIL FOR CRIMES
