one of the most fascinating political stories to come hiding out of the last
of the beginning of this congress certainly a last week because of the
confirmations of the week before that senator ted crews of texas uh...
cruises a first-term senator he ran as a tea party real strong right when tea
party candidate
won a primary there and then of course is a republican senate candidate in
texas and twenty twelve
the senate seat but he hasn't just sat quietly
uh... among the daffodils there what he has done is he has voted against
just about everything
that has come up and he's voted
uh... that as he said he would he was going to block everything you voted
against john carries one of three senators
to vote against john kerrey voted against chuck hagel but he didn't just
go to construct a cohesive pretty incendiary language would talking about
chuck cable guys he said during the kean the the
uh... confirmation hearings for a co-pay listen uh... you know i'm not sure how
patriotic
tropical is and then directly then sent
john mccain going crazy said no no no
we're here to question up whether or not
he can be a good secretary of defense
but now we find out my goal that you pat was talking about
confidence because that you were saying that his reaction to his own was almost
mccarthyite that's what it reminded people of
and it turns out that that two-and-a-half years ago he gave a
speech that legs and tell us about
what little talk like a car that i think artists are care and and people were
looted barbara walters alluding to the fact that he was saying mccarthy like
things
in the in his interrogation during terry nichols nomination was was mccarthy life
so at this event which was pop sponsored by americans for prosperity
and how this remind you of all runs americans pressure prosperity it's of
course
charles and david coat the coat brothers actually you know sponsored this event
impart and cruise
said uh... very nice things that to this audience of course it was at his
audience
uh... and anyone on to send to describe
president obama as
the most radical president
ever top occupied the oval office
not the first person is efforts was totally off the mark asst andrew jackson
right prince
well i don't think the audience would have reacted the same like uh... from
the hospital i had to write west as a species like outside what admits the
agent genuine tax in the most rentals on the other hand well there's a couple of
this but the like fourth resolve our dot there that i i mean abraham lincoln was
radical so i mean they were rattled off the hook on the road
and sometimes a radical is ok when it's radically different from what exist
already
let's uh... but but just the idea that he was saying these things calling
radical
not the end of the world i mean you know the it's partisans b
i'm sure thousand and and said i'm sure my problems that radical present
not about what i'm talking about a president obama attended harvard just a
few years before he did
and this is what he said
there were fewer debt you would have made a perfect president of harvard law
school
there were fewer declared republicans in the faculty when we were there then
communists
there was one republican
so he says
that yes
that that he was held and that the president this is wise radical
that's what he was at harvard
hell-bent
aunt overthrowing the american government to government because it was
a communist
and and in the fall two that is amazing to me businesses
but they worked well who would say there were marked cynicism someday
who believed in the communist overthrowing the united states company
now looked this specificity of that is what it means is being is one thing to
say is about to come easy at harvard law and i was going then as hyperbole it's
ridiculous but you get past the right
knows it is about twelve i counted in their marxist
envelope before you're looking at practice control local congressional
crazy and i think that there had the dangers
if you don't
loading isaacson everything's that visit is right now endure
records
yeah i don't think it has
anything to do with the faucet the anything it's it's a catch-all blankie
these war suppressed charles freed is the professor ted cruise the time
israel's former solicitor general so
you know that he is in services are
so he says first well it was again white off and count four out republicans
including myself so there goes a scary that decreases one yet make it you know
grew so there was one republican is that by that sinkhole but i would be surprise
if they were any members of the faculty
who believed in the communist or prefer plain the u_s_ government
and that's a way is that i
say o'connell are right
any seems a little embarrass
that biggest cruise was one of the stuff guys he crews worked with that looks
like a rocket engines care i a m right in the work of the bus and supreme court
briefs et cetera fascinating thing about cruise this is not a dumb guy who made
friends at harvard law working are suffering court briefs buddy he's smart
but he's crazy crazy as you know i i just did it go with freedom comes later
on in the same the talk that uh... not only how do i not remembered that there
were you know anticommunist there may be the right
couple of radicals not twelve i don't remember too well
but none of them were talking about or communist overthrowing the government
and and that's that's the thrust of this is that no he doesn't have any
recollection
