SENATOR TED CRUZ CONTINUES TO GET HAMMERED OVER HIS 180 ON
DISASTER RELIEF FUNDS, AND IT'S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS OR THE MASS
MEDIA YOU MIGHT EXPECT ATTACKING HIM, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A BIT OF
THAT AS WELL.
IN THIS FIRST CLIP YOU WILL SEE HIM ATTEMPTING TO
EXPLAIN WHEN A HOST ON I BELIEVE MSNBC POINTS OUT HIS ABRUPT
180 WHEN IT COMES TO SANDY FUNDING VERSUS HARVEY FUNDING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE POINTING OUT THAT YOU VOTED AGAINST AID
FOR SANDY AFTER THAT CATASTROPHIC STORM.
LOOK, THERE IS TIME FOR POLITICAL SNIPING LATER.
THE
PROBLEM WITH THAT PARTICULAR BILL AS IT BECAME A $50 BILLION
BILL THAT WAS FILLED WITH UNRELATED PORK.
TWO THIRDS OF
THAT BILL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SANDY, AND WHAT I SAID THEN AND
STILL BELIEVE NOW IS THAT IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR POLITICIANS TO
EXPLOIT A DISASTER AND PEOPLE ARE HURTING TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN
POLITICAL WISH LIST.
GOD, HE'S NOT EVEN GOOD AT IT.
YOU LOOK TERRIBLE, YOU LOOK
TERRIBLE AND YOU KNOW THAT.
SOME POLITICIANS CAN BRUSH IT AWAY
BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE THAT CAPACITY.
IT IS POINTED OUT
THERE, MAYBE HE'S HOPING IT WILL GO AWAY, BUT IT WON'T.
AND WE
HAVE A CAT FIGHT BETWEEN HIM AND A REPUBLICAN, CHRIS CHRISTIE.
LET'S TURN HERE ON FOX, CHRIS CHRISTIE POINTING OUT AGAIN THE
HYPOCRISY.
SENATOR CRUZ'S ACCUSATION THAT TWO THIRDS OF THE SANDY BILL WAS
PORK IS RIDICULOUS, THE WASHINGTON POST DID A FACT CHECK
ON IT YESTERDAY THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHATEVER NUMBER
AT THE TIME.
THERE WAS A SENATE BILL THAT HAD SOME OF THAT AND
IT GOT STRIPPED OUT, BECAUSE ALL OF US INCLUDING THE PEOPLE IN
NEW JERSEY, OBJECTED TO IT.
THEY WERE PLAYING POLITICS WITH IT,
THEY WERE GETTING READY TO DO WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO FOR 2016
AND MAKE THEMSELVES SEEM LIKE THE MOST CONSERVATIVE PERSON.
THE FACT IS THERE IS NOT A LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE WAY TO
DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DROWNING AND DYING.
THERE IS A LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE WAY TO DEAL WITH
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CROSS A BRIDGE, THOUGH.
DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT THAT.
BUT IN THIS CASE CHRIS CHRISTIE IS RIGHT.
THE
WASHINGTON POST GAVE IT THREE OUT OF FOUR PINOCCHIOS FOR TED
CRUZ'S CLAIM THAT THE BILL WAS LOADED UP WITH PORK, ASK JUST
NOT TRUE.
THE THING THAT CHRISTIE IS MOST RIGHT ABOUT IS
THAT TED CRUZ SAW POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY DURING HURRICANE
SANDY TO PAINT HIMSELF AS THE MOST DIABOLICALLY CONSERVATIVE,
WHICH THE REST OF THE COUNTRY MIGHT FIND INCREDIBLY
UNAPPEALING, BUT FOR REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS WHO HE WAS
TARGETING BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO RUN AND HE DID IN 2016,
IS GOOD NEWS FOR THEM.
THIS DRACONIAN ASS, WHO EVEN WHEN
PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING AND DYING AND WE HAVE A NATURAL DISASTER,
SAYS NO I WON'T GIVE YOU THE MONEY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, I
DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM, THAT'S
THE POLITICAL GAME TED CRUZ PLAYED.
NOW WHEN IT COMES TO
BITE HIM IN THE ASS IN TEXAS, ALL OF A SUDDEN HE HAS HIS HAT
ON AND HE'S PRETENDING TO HELP PEOPLE --
I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE PEOPLE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S NOT TIME FOR POLITICAL SNIPING.
HOW COME
DURING HURRICANE SANDY IT WAS A PERFECT TIME FOR YOUR POLITICAL
AMBITIONS, NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN IT HITS YOUR HOME STATE,
NOT THE RIGHT TIME FOR POLITICS?
AND TO JOHN'S POINT ABOUT CHRIS
CHRISTIE'S HYPOCRISY, WHENEVER IT'S AN ISSUE THAT HELPS THEM
POLITICALLY, SAY TERRORISM, WE'VE GOT TO GO GET THE BAD GUYS
AND TERRORISTS, LET'S MAKE THIS POLITICAL AND DROP BOMBS --
WHEN IT'S A MASS SHOOTING, WAIT A MINUTE, DON'T MAKE THIS
POLITICAL BY TALKING ABOUT GUNS.
NO SNIPING.
LITERALLY IN THAT CASE.
THEY GO BACK AND FORTH ON THIS ONE,
BUT ON THIS ONE TED CRUZ IS 1 MILLION% WRONG, HE KNOWS IT, AND
THIS HYPOCRISY IS SO SICKENING.
OCCASIONALLY WITH REPUBLICANS AS WE POINTED OUT OVER THE
YEARS, WHEN SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AGAINST, SOME SOCIAL
ISSUE, AFFECTS THEM OR THEIR FAMILY, SOMETIMES BECAUSE IT
AFFECTED THEIR TINY CIRCLE THEY WILL EVOLVE AND BECOME A NORMAL,
EMPATHIC PERSON.
I DON'T EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN, TED CRUZ VOTED
AGAINST SANDY FUNDS, THEN HE DID A 180 AND WANTS THE HARVEY
FUNDS, AND HE SHOULD.
BUT THE NEXT TIME THIS COMES AROUND,
WILL PEOPLE POINT OUT HIS HYPOCRISY ON THIS?
PROBABLY NOT.
TED CRUZ WAS NOT THE ONLY REPUBLICAN IN THE COUNTRY
AGAINST THE SANDY FUNDS, IT'S SORT OF EXPECTED AT THIS POINT
THAT IF IT ISN'T THERE STATE THEY WON'T CARE.
SOME OTHER
PEOPLE ATTACKING HIM, THERE WAS A GREAT COVER ON THE NEW YORK
DAILY NEWS, IT'S PRETTY CLEAR WHAT THEY THINK, DROP DEAD TED.
THAT WAS DURING THE CAMPAIGN WHEN HE ATTACKED SO-CALLED
NEW YORK VALUES.
WE HAVE ANOTHER COVER, TAKE THE F.U.
TRAIN, TED.
WE DO HAVE
PETE KING AS WELL SAYING --
MY FAVORITE IS THE SECOND ONE, WHERE HE SAID -- HOLD ON
ONE SECOND, I LOVE THE TURN OF PHRASE HE USED --
WHILE YOU ARE LOOKING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WITH THE
CATFIGHT BETWEEN TED CRUZ AND CHRIS CHRISTIE, AND CHRIS
CHRISTIE IS ACCURATELY POINTING OUT THAT TED CRUZ WAS BEING
AFFECTED BY HIS PRIMARY AMBITIONS, THERE IS A NONZERO
CHANCE THAT THIS CATFIGHT IS A VERY EARLY SHOT IN THE NEXT SET
OF REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
TED CRUZ CERTAINLY WANTS TO RUN
AGAIN, CHRISTIE DOESN'T REALIZE HOW IRRELEVANT HE IS, THAT
HAS TO BE PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND OF THEIR MINDS.
NO QUESTION.
MY FAVORITE PETE KING TWEET WAS AS A LIFELONG NEW
YORKER WITH NEW YORK VALUES, I WILL VOTE FOR EMERGENCY HARVEY
FUNDING FOR TED CRUZ'S CONSTITUENTS.
ABOVE ALL, TRUE
AMERICANS MUST STAND TOGETHER.
THAT'S A SHOT THAT COMBINES TED
CRUZ TALKING ABOUT NEW YORK VALUES IN A NEGATIVE LIGHT
DURING THE PRIMARY, AND HIS VOTE ON HURRICANE SANDY.
AND FRANK
LOBIONDO, A REPUBLICAN FROM NEW JERSEY, JOINS IN AS WELL, WE ARE
AND
GOING TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS, EVEN THOUGH CRUZ, AND BY
THE WAY ALMOST THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TEXAS DELEGATION, THE
FEDERAL DELEGATION FOR TEXAS, VOTED AGAINST SANDY FUNDING, ALL
BUT ONE OF THEM.
THEY ALL SAID NO, IF IT AFFECTS NEW YORK OR NEW JERSEY WE
DON'T CARE, WE WON'T GIVE MONEY FOR THAT, LET THEM DIE.
AND THEY VOTED IN FAVOR OF A STORM FOR SAN FRANCISCO.
NOW WHEN IT TURNS AROUND AND HITS TEXAS IT'S REPUBLICAN 101,
THAT'S MY PEOPLE.
IF IT'S NO GOOD, DIRTY NEW YORKERS, WHAT DO
THEY KNOW?
THEY HAVE DIRTY NEW YORK VALUES, I VOTE NO.
SOMETIMES THEY GET HIT BY TERRORISM LIKE ON 9/11, WHO
CARES?
SOMETIMES THEY GET HIT BY SUPER STORMS, WHO CARES?
I'M NOT
A NEW YORKER, I WON'T GIVE THEM ANY MONEY IN THEIR TIME OF NEED.
NOW THE SAME TEXAS DELEGATION INCLUDING TED CRUZ TURNS AROUND
AND GOES GOLLY GEE, HEAVEN FORFEND, PEOPLE PLAYING
POLITICS, I WANT THE MONEY.
AND THE YOU THINK TED CRUZ IS JUST
DOING THIS FOR THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS?
NO, HE WILL FIGHT FOR
THAT SO HE GETS MORE VOTES, I UNDERSTAND.
BUT I GUARANTEE, I
LAY IT OUT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW AHEAD OF TIME, WHEN IT COMES TO
ASK FOR MONEY, HE WILL ASK MONEY FOR THE OIL COMPANIES.
HE WILL
ASK MONEY FOR ALL OF HIS DONORS AND HIS REAL CONSTITUENCY IN
TEXAS.
ALL THIS STUFF ABOUT GOLLY GEE, I'M IN TEXAS, NO TIME
FOR POLITICS, HE'S SAYING DONORS, DON'T WORRY, I'VE GOT
YOUR BACK.
WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT MY PREDICTIONS AS I TELL YOU
AHEAD OF TIME, IF I'M WRONG AND TED CRUZ NEVER ASKS FOR MONEY
FOR HIS DONORS IN TEXAS YOU CAN SAY CENK, LOOK AT THAT CRAZY
CONSPIRACY YOU HAD, THAT THE MILLIONS THEY GAVE TED CRUZ WILL
AFFECT HIM.
BUT YOU WILL SEE, HE WILL ASK FOR THAT MONEY, THAT'S
PART OF WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
TYTNETWORK.COM/HARVEY, NOT ONE DOLLAR TO THE OIL COMPANIES
WHO CAUSED THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
