so the polls are in on Ted Cruz's shenanigans
I in the senate of course you do that twenty one hour
non filibuster filibuster just for the hell of it I
and up people thinking that it was basically pull sum 41 percent say
political
unnecessary political sign 32 percent say it's a good way to make an important
point
it's actually a damn shame that it's even that close it should be
a not anywhere near who was in a real filibuster but was
have at it i think as a filibuster should work but it wasn't one
so he just did it literally to raise money and raise his profile
whose couldn't be clear political grandstanding
well 69 percent republicans love that nonetheless they say Ted Cruz's 21 hour
speech
was a good way to make an important point and mission accomplished for Ted
Cruz that's exactly what we wanted to repeal do
appeal to I should say and in fact a
among extremely or very conservative people
I he did even better than he did among general Republican service service
we cover that for the last week now out when asked about all this though
to what affect in the end the american people are not
anymore in favor his position than they were before so yes you've got
their primary republican voters all riled up to vote for you in 2016
well played politically but as a matter of policy will make any difference
and actually David Gregory asked him that question what you gone out and say
it is
but skill the law altogether let's tee funda actually with respective I think
the premise if you have your question is wrong om
it is the democrats who have taken the absolutist position
at look I i've engage I'd like to repeal everywhere to the law
but that wasn't my position even in this fight my position in this fight which
was we should defund it which is different from repeal
and even now at the house representatives has done
is a step removed from defunding it's delaying it now that's the essence of a
compromise
on the other side what the democrats compromised on
nothing 0 yeah
anytime that that Ted Cruz tells you with respect
he's about the same something incredibly obnoxious smug an offensive
on purpose and that means total disrespect
so he say missus a potent David Gray earlier obviously wrong about every bag
and I we do is have a new democrat something that's loose
position that we should follow the law should we really
or sure report for the 44th time on the same effort issue
and home I'm not for repealing in
I'm for defunding it so it has absolutely no money and cannot be
implemented
you see that's a very different indeed so after picking this in same position
well I'm gonna democrats won't even negotiate on
not applying the law for a year some nonsense so-called compromise I came up
with
on an issue that didn't exist before I made a big you know
for to do about all of this pride so
what I do same thing about you know what that said those god damn ronald reagan
tax cuts
a default the whole government until we get our way
attacks are are put back up to 70 percent you know that's what they were
when Ray human of $0.70 per cent for the highest
tax bracket well lets you do that no sorry
when I got up on the government of David with all due respect
this is all the Republicans fault if they were just compromise
put taxes that 69 percent well then
you know we could make a deal here and fun the government but they're taking an
absolutist position
I'm not rolling back the ronald reagan tax cuts so I'm sorry
I guess it's their fault for defunding the government anybody can play this
game
he thinks he's so clever are his more permissive noxious ass
you make this argument as if there's no broader context here
Obamacare has been legislated
it has been adjudicated and it has been tested to
the political system and so let's go through that we had an election where
I heard the standard-bearer the Republican Party Mitt Romney say
Obamacare should be repealed I've all the republicans already voted against
this thing
when it was ultimately passed the Supreme Court upheld it
and then this summer you know colleagues said look let's have a strategy here
defunding Obamacare you had people signed a letter and they said they join
you in that fight
well here you are now you don't even have the same number
folks who signed the letter who voted with you in this effort
there are not protests in the streets arguing to
do away with this law on the way that you'd like get 56 percent in one poll
this week's New York Times yes at let's uphold the law
so on focusing on results your goal and results
where have you moved anything can look
the fax are becoming more and more clear
that Obamacare is at work every day that's becoming more clear this reason
the
jumping ship one union after another you're making an argument
I ask you a specific question based on the facts on the ground you've made all
these arguments my goodness UN's
spoke for 21 hours to make these arguments you haven't moved
anyone outlook the american people overwhelmingly rejected bomb
you got a funny way of showing if the overwhelming reject Obamacare by
continuing to elect
Obama SCO the game Gregory with a rare good job he rolled his feet to the fire
and Ted Cruz can't show at all there were two people are on a side
they're not on a side based on the polls on Ted Cruz they're not on a Sybase on
polls on this particular strategy they're also not on the side in the
elections
when they reelected the Democratic president who pass Affordable Care Act
let alone the people who implemented in the first place
also chosen by the american people so Ted Cruz has no line for that he has no
answer for that
then finally Gregory also challenge them
on other Nazi analogy that he made during his speech
and of course first he will deny let's watch do you regret comparing
the future of Obamacare to the rise love Hitler and Nazi Germany
well %uh the premise of your question isn't true I didn't make that comparison
what I said
is that there have been many voices in Washington have said we can't do this we
can't do this we can't do this and I went through
the centuries were over and over again when facing big challenges
americans have risen to the occasion whether it was the Revolutionary War the
Civil War
war were two weather was going to the moon under john F kennedy or when it was
winning the cold war
at every stage there were voices up conventional wisdom who say
this can't be done at every stage the american people rose to the occasion and
what I said is
we should do the same
really so you didn't mention the germans
and you just bring your Broadpoint that's funny cuz we kinda have you on
tape talking about the government's
you go to the 1940s Nazi Germany
like we saw in Britain neville chamberlain
who told the British people except the nazis
yes still dominate the cot to continental Europe
but that's not our problem let's appease them wide because it can't be done
we can't possibly stand against them
and in America there were voices that listen to that i suspect those same
pundits to say it can't be done
if it had been in the nineteen forties we wouldn't have been listening to them
and then they would have a television
and I got beyond carrier pigeons and be on letters and they wanna bet on TV and
they would have been saying
you cannot defeat the germs
some lawful like it a lot like he said Nazis and germans there
and then when question about it of
with all due respect I disagree with the premise of your question
you disagree all you like my friend but there's this thing we've created this
called the video
it captures what you say that we could play it back later so you can defend
your argument
do you compare them to the Nazis in Germany actually I don't really care
about his analogy that much people like to get offended by that
that paper stuff but he's basically saying don't do appeasement
we can do anything we like I i understand the analogy but I say you did
make the analogy
is totally wrong you backed it borders on being a lot
