Do for America you know that >> Remember how Trump made fun of your
wife and then you go become best friends of Trump.?
>> And I know but why do you do that?
You become best friends with Trump after he makes fun of you and your wife,
why do you do that?
>> I understand you don't want me >> Cuz I do love America.
See, you don't you care more about the border between Ukraine and Russia and
you care about the border between Texas and Mexico?
Why is that?
Why do you care about >> [CROSSTALK]
>> Why are you globalist?
But you know it Ted, you're a globalist, you know that but and
that's why you're a coward and a liar and you know that and I know that and
that's why you're afraid to stand up.
When people were freezing and dying, you were in Cancun Mexico, you remember that?
Remember when you're at the all inclusive buffet, when people were freezing,
don't you remember that Ted when everybody was freezing?
Remember that when people were dying?
>> [CROSSTALK] >> That is Senator Ted Cruz doing what he
does best get owned by literally everyone.
In that case, apparently a right winger.
Ted Cruz tried to sort of brush off the criticism like implying that this guy was
a lefty.
But it's not impossible that he could have been pretending to be a right winger,
but based on this rhetoric talking about the border and calling him a globalist
I guess because Ted Cruz wanted to aid Ukraine in some fashion, I don't know.
That was enough for him to attack Ted Cruz and
Ted Cruz really didn't have anything to respond to that.
The claims about Trump, which are totally accurate.
He did debase himself for Donald Trump after Trump mocked him and his family and
him fleeing during that horrific power outage in Texas when the grid collapsed,
he had no response, I had no response to really anything.
He just sat there looking like an idiot.
Now, some of what the guy was saying is absolutely crazy.
Again, the idea that Ted Cruz becomes a globalist when he supports military aid
to Ukraine, but presumably that same right winger doesn't think that like
us selling tons of weapons to Saudi Arabia makes Donald Trump a globalist?
I don't know, it's very opportunistic the way that they deploy that phrase by
the way, in any event, Ted Cruz decided to go to that event,
he should have known he was going to face some of this from the even crazier, right?
But what do you think?
>> No, absolutely.
And he was spot on, like you're saying on half of them and half of them not,
which is why I do think it's important that we cover those angles of critique.
Like yeah, why did you fold and start to campaign for
a guy who insulted your entire family, maybe called your dad the zodiac killer.
Why did you leave your home state when it was in need, those things,
I think sometimes certain media outlets can sort of, we're above that.
No, no, no,
that's the most important pieces of Ted Cruz's most recent awful legacy.
It's not about where he stands on his legislative priorities.
No, we know where he stands.
But what's crazy to me about it is Ted Cruz is gonna go home and
think about how he was called a globalist and be like,
you got to do better Ted, you got to be crazier.
You got to psych yourself right?
Because where when one is heckled when there are troll
comments in the chat right now, you don't listen to them.
That is stupid.
Number one, it's a minority of people and number two it's,
but see we have a mission, we have a purpose and
where there's some sort of moral center or broader project.
But his broader project and the broader project of the GOP is just to literally
as great as crazies call them out, go do what that crazy wanted me to do.
Get more of the crazies and John don't you think it's gonna get worse.
Come on as more and more extreme as the base gets,
nothing is gonna be good enough for them, right?
>> I know that is very much the fear.
I mean, look, we know we've experienced sort of opportunistic
parasites on the left who exist only to elevate themselves through ever
shifting purity tests or whatever with no actual plan for change.
No, none of that.
We know that those people, thankfully, I don't have any influence and
they're only in it for themselves.
They don't really care about having any influence as long as they're
making a lot of money.
This is their entire party though.
I mean, this is the actual party.
Now, it might be that Ted Cruz is the senator and this guy is some Rando,
but more and more politicians were indistinguishable from that Randall.
We're getting elected literally every election.
So, not good for the right.
By the way,
John Cornyn was also heckled at that event this time while giving a speech.
People in the crowd shouted that he was a traitor.
They said no red flags don't take our guns, because he might support a bill
that does basically nothing except it does have some provisions for
federal red flags laws.
And what I love about that is the right would love, they always love to say,
it's not about the guns, it's about the mental health,
implying that it's not that the guns themselves are a problem.
It's only that there are some people who shouldn't have them.
So, what should we do if we identify someone who shouldn't have one, nothing.
We should do literally nothing.
They should be able to have their guns and
we should only talk about what they did after they did it.
When they go and shoot someone up, then we can talk about it again.
But don't stop them.
Don't stop people with a demonstrated track record of violence from
getting lethal weapons.
That is what people were shouting at John Cornyn noted leftists.
>> And even though, and
I think we have to remember who goes out of their way to get press,
not press passes, get passes to go to this thing, who's got the weekend to spare.
It is not the whole of, even the Republican Party and
there was a new Fox News poll out just today,
that shows the vast majority of their viewers believe in red flag laws.
Believe that there should be, yeah, exactly, background checks and all that
in the 18 year old shouldn't get access to assault rifles on and on and on and on.
So again, you have a more extremist minority and an extremist minority
in power and they're both talking across the majority of Americans.
Even though maybe some of those people I wholly disagree with on many other issues,
but on so many of them we can work together and do agree.
So, it's just bizarre.
I mean, Trump really sped up the four chance to mainstream pipeline to the point
where again, no one's, right, it's just what do the message boards want us to do?
>> And they do exactly that.
And by the way, look,
a case could be made that John Cornyn is doing exactly what they should want.
What they don't want is strong gun control.
Okay, now, what is the best way you can possibly get people to move on and
forget a little bit, give them something that can be pitched as if
it's gun control and it barely is, he's John Cornyn is helping to pass that.
If he opposed it, If enough Republicans opposed it, that literally
nothing happened, then maybe you would have even longer simmering desire for
gun control that could lead to something real, something substantive.
But again, it's the fake purity over even cold,
hard pragmatism from their point of view, this should be a good thing.
They're in the minority with the presidency and
both chambers of Commerce and still, barely nothing is gonna be done.
And they consider even that to be unacceptable.
