>> my guess would be ted -- .an't help but think he had to be behind this somehow. >> and there was one more thing, said brad. somebody sent him a weird email the morning before his last state with susie. maybe ted was behind it somehow. here it is. how's your girlfriend? how does your wife feel about it? the sender, age in the denise johnson. >> still in the dark as to who said that. and who the hell is denise johnson? >> that made the cops ears perk up. a missing woman, a mysterious email, one guy pointing toward another. >> there's somebody out there, some jealousy, probably. i need to find out who send those emails. >> so they told bride, don't leave town. and they set out to talk to susie's soon to be ex, ted casey. coming up. >> so much pressure, and after a while it -- you know, explodes. >> the scorned husband was brought into the interogation room. details of the confrontation with susie. >> i wasn't very happy. >> your thoughts about ted's were very friendly ones at that point? >> no. >> when dateline co

the ted cruz who we see now is not the principledprincipled, ce ted cruz that we knew when he was the solicitor general. knew that although you may have disagreed with his conservative outlook, he at least was principled. that's a totally different person than it is today. ted cruz got bullied on national tv, and i actually felt bad for him because tucker carlson literally just bullied him. it was -- it was downright -- i mean, you know, it was like an anti-bullying campaign. that could have been the commercial. but you have to actually look at the full context of who ted cruz has become. we cannot forget, we have to remember how donald trump talked about this man's wife like a dog. >> and his dad. >> and what did he do? well, and his dad with these mythical fantasies. what did he do? he ran back to donald trump. he said, please, please, take me in. donald trump laughed and took him in. we remember this whole -- watching him backtrack, the only thing i think is appropriate for us to say is we see ted cruz. he does not necessarily have the testicular fortitude it takes to stand up for

the ted cruz who we see now is not the principle conservative ted cruz we know solicitor general and being considered for the supreme court, knew although you may disagree with his conservative out outlook, he was at least principled. that's a totally different person than today. ted cruz got bullied on national tv and i actually felt bad for him. because tucker carlson literally just bullied him. it was down right, i mean, you know, it was like an anti bullying campaign that could have been the commercial but you have to actually look at the full context of who ted cruz has become. we remember -- we cannot forget, we have to remember how donald trump talked about this man's wife like a dog. >> and his dad. >> what did he do? >> and his dad with these myth kill fantasies and he ran back to donald trump and said please, please take me in. donald trump laughed and took him in. we remember this whole escapade so watching this now, the only thing that's apreppropriate thi to say is ted cruz doesn't have what it takes to stand up for people bullying him which doesn't put him in a good pos

i mean, just ted cruz on tucker carlson is doom for the initials t.c. that's a terrible joke but i just had to get one out. i'm so unqualified to be on this panel. >> no, this is a joke friendly environment. >> he's -- ted cruz nauseates me to a degree. i actually have trouble focusing on him when i'm trying to write jokes. i remember during the gop debates where he had something in his mouth and it was like food or a loose baby tooth or worse, i don't know. but i haven't been able to get that out of my mind. and whenever i see him, i feel sick to my stomach. now what in a means for the republican party, i don't know but it's not good. >> you bring up an interesting point about who ted cruz was talking to by going on that program and it really raises the question of not how divided we are as a country but do we even hear each other? only moment, when somebody like ted cruz goes on tucker carlton, makes a complete fool of himself, his message comes to our side of the divide, the way things play out on social media, but the reality of it is somebody like

and it is more incredible that ted cruz was there that day. goes along with it, goes along with the lie. knowing it's a lie, that's why the truth slipped out. he's not a stupid person, you know, sometimes truth actually comes out and then he has to -- >> and jean, i hate to, jean, i hate to do this to you, but what you just said is also what tucker said. and i know you might over lap, i'm not suggesting it in any other way, but it is important that people see cruz knew it then, he knew it this week as you say, that's what slipped out, that's what tucker thinks as well for perhaps different agenda reasons but that's what it is and that's very different from the victims, the victims who everyone has responsibility to learn the truth but people who aren't super informed get bad intel, that's different than being the knowing leader of these movements who want to end democracy, told us, cruz was the point person their so called quarter back and play that was a coup in its description. jean, stay with me, i want to bring in one other thing before ba

being ted cruz. wonder your thoughts to this bit of political performance art. >> well, as you know, i have known ted cruz since i worked with ted cruz in the 2000 campaign. and to know ted cruz is to dislike ted cruz. it's pretty uniform. anybody that encounters him. i think i said this before, there used to be an expression, people, reporters would ask us, why do people take an instant dislike to ted cruz? and the answer was, it saves time. i was watching ted cruz. every time i think he can't go lower, he goes lower. he reminds me of the character reeked from the "game of thrones." the only good thing about reeked is he had redemption later on when he became theon gray joy. ted cruz is the guy who donald trump ripped his father, accused his father of being a part of the kennedy conspiracy, called his wife ugly, and then kissed up to donald cruz. and this is ted cruz. this is guy -- i don't know if it is physically or anatomically possible, but was born without a backbone, has no moral principle at

this is not just high profile ted cruz with his humiliation fetish. even at the lowest levels of the republican party. a republican state senator in wisconsin who had the audacity to say the election was not stolen and to oppose a republican phony investigation into the results has now foreclosed the possibility of her future in the republican party. today, she announced she is not running for re-election. she says she was not forced out but one of the leaders in the election investigation called on her to resign. you know, you do the math. no career for you. opposing the big lie, opposing the insurrection, condemning political violence whipped up by donald trump, they are not allowed in the republican party. that's where they draw the line. posing political violence when you're side is behind it and donald trump is in favor of it is not allowed. ted cruz is a lot of things, but his decision to do what he did yesterday shows he understands where the future of the republican party lies. congressman ruben is a democrat representing arizona's congression

the idea that ted ted cruz, now he doesn't do anything an accident. of course. he's trying to separate himself and sit up is 2024, ron. so it's a so he can distinguish himself from trump. this is a really safe period. this is very important for people understand. for republicans, who are you seeing donald trump's took us for 4 years to stop using you took your said separate themselves from him. so they can run for president. that's all that was about ted cruz. i got to be honest, it was a very phony moment. i'm not very happy with about it. i kind of like ted cruz as a person, as a senator, but this was a very bad moment for me and i hope because from the 2024. and that is the debate happening, republican party. but you can, you can distance yourself from donald trump not, but i'll for the same time, not insult to supporters, which you're going to need to get elected without them you're staying at home. but to todd, very 6 is not the only day of violence which is happened in our nation's capital. people don't like remember history back in the eighty's and 19, as

and there's one other thing i would like to add about the ted cruz interview.rlson wanted to take on a ted cruz, that he was looking for that fight. i don't know if it means that he's looking to do something politically, but he was willing to make points off of one that you would argue in ted cruz a very much a strongly supported trump ally. >> you are the second person on this broadcast to suggest that tucker may have political aspirations. thefirst came yesterday. i was like, hmm, interesting. anyway, also interesting, on thursday, the president's speech. he gave that speech excoriating trump without ever mentioning him by name. >> the former president of the united states of america has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election. he's done so because he values power over principle. because he sees his own interests as more important than his country's interests, than america's interests. and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution. he can't accept he lost. even though that's what 93 united states senat

well, you would if you're ted cruz. but it's also the price that you have to pay now if you are a republican. begging for forgiveness for speaking the truth. while the fox-propaganda network is turning itself into a three-ring circus of lies and cringey moments like that, the big news today was a georgia courtroom and that's where three white men learned the price that they will have to pay for the murder of ahmaud arbery, shot to death while jogging nearly two years ago travis mcmichael and his father gregory mcmichael were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. william roddy bryan was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. and the judge's remarks, as he sentenced them, were riveting. including a moment rarely seen in a courtroom. more on that, coming up. ahmaud arbery's grieving family putting a human face on this terrible crime. ahmaud wasn't just a victim, he was a man they lofbd, a son, a brother. his sister, jasmine, addressing the court before sentencing. >> ahmaud had

there is such a close friendship and called ted and said i need you in washington. i do not want to see beau die and deal with the aftermath alone. would you come to washington for 120 days, special governmental them employee unpaid designation and be with me. and he did pretty sat there for 120 days in the little office and whatever biden needed him, just for a comforting word, for a meal, for a look, he was there. and today he's in wilmington i think biden calls a lot. he is the first nonfamily memo to sleep in the white house. and i wish i could write about him. i really do. think their friendship is extraordinary. both on a policy level. if you read ben kramer's book, what it takes, you will see the role ted plays in the presidential campaign. the last person he wants to talk to, is ted kaufman. >> has the next book for you has a president ever had a best anime? you're known by as much by your friend. and they clinton administration he could have so many enemies hit every thing he had to destroy bill clinton. >> not afraid not. it's a really, really interesting

ted cruz called it a terrorist attack. we've all seen the pictures over and over again.not if you make tucker mad i guess. >> yeah. i think it tells us a lot about the republican party and how e-elected officials are so eager to stay in the good graces of the maga base that he went on fox news and allowed himself to be called a liar for telling the truth. >> seung min, ted cruz has had to explain himself before, i guess. i don't want to go through the history of it, but just why? >> well, i mean, tucker was right about one thing. ted cruz is someone, and i've covered him, you know, for almost a decade now, he is someone who is extremely careful with his words and very precise and when he called it a terrorist attack he meant, it so the fact that he kind of had to be pulled into apologizing for his words, and he also gave a pretty vigorous apology on his twitter food as well, show you how much republican leaders these days being pulled by elements of their base and it was quite the remarkable interview and apology that he had to gave because the elements of the party who

now, where was i mm oh, right -- ted cruz.robably have seen, the big news in politics while i've been away has been the site and the united states senator going on tv to humiliate himself and beg for forgiveness for the grave sin of condemning a violent insurrection aimed at overthrowing american democracy. it was so pathetic, i honestly thought i was delirious from the covid. but it turns out, it was real, and i was just delirious from my horse pudding. and look, we all know ted cruz has a thing for self-humiliation he slinked back from cancun after escaping a blackout in his state. he endorsed donald trump after trump insulted his wife and his father, and took that infamous photo where he made campaign calls for trump looking like jack lemmon in "glengarry glenn ross. and he keeps showing up in public with that facial hair looking like a chewbacca who shaved everything but the beard. you see, cruz originally said what you might think was a totally noncontroversial thing about the anniversary of the january 6th insurrection >

ted williams joins us on what he makes of it all. ted, that seems a case of mixed messaging.not only mixed messaging, it's dumb and stupid. crime is going up in new york. you have a new mayor. a guy that is supposedly going to be eric adams, progressive on crime. he brings in the first black female chief of commissioner of police there. this d.a. cuts the legs out from under both of them. here he is talking about reducing certain crime and not prosecuting certain crime. he is a prosecutor. he's not a legislator. legislators make the law. prosecutors prosecute cases. let me just tell our audience about a wonderful child. crystal diaz. this is a young woman that was working in harlem at a burger king this weekend when a low life came in, got $100 -- stole $100 from her and shot and killed this young child. we're talking about the reduction of crimes? we're talking about helping criminals in this country? what the hell is going on, neil? >> neil: yeah, that case just was so wild in my mind. she gave him the money. everything he wanted. he comes back and shoots and kills her, no

it's not ted cruz's humiliation that is important but the right radical media.talking about whether the term terrorism apply to people who commit violent acts against police officers. ted cruz came up in politics as a tough prosecutor who understood it was good politics to be tough on crime, whether it was the right or left. when there was violence on your side, you distance yourself from it and you went forward. those rules don't apply anymore. what tucker carlson is saying, and you know the fact turker carlson has a three-part documentary called "patriot purge" which depicts these criminals as political prisoners probably should have been a clue. tucker carlson doesn't believe in that. the takeaway, what they ended up agreeing upon at the end of that interview it is okay to call left-wing protesters who might be advocating for black lives matter, if they commit violence against cops, it's okay to call those people terrorists. but when right wing people do it, you can't call them that. it's just something bad that happened. to me that is the real takeaway of th

ted saw me and i told him and he said they do not have time to be polite here. they will offer you the job. you need to decide if you want to do it. i was offered the job. ted went into the interview. he gave me an on the spot recommendation. that is how that happened. my life had been as a journalist. i thought working at the white house would be pretty neat, the timing for me was not what i expected. >> john, how did you become a speechwriter? was it american idol style? >> no, i always tell people that when you get a position like this it is not because of there was a nationwide merit search, it certainly was not the case in my situation. i had an opportunity to go to work for vice president and quail -- dan quayle in the summer of 1990. i wanted to do something political early in my career. as it happens, somebody know -- somebody knows somebody, and i got this position and i was hired by the chief of staff. i did not know him, i like him, admired him, supported him. i did not meet him until my second week writing speeches for him on air force two. >> that i

i mean even his brother in arms ted cruz admitted that what happened on january 6 was domestic terrorism. until that is, tucker carlson on fox bullied him into back down live on air. >> it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the capitol. where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this capitol. >> you called this a terror attack when by no definition was it a terror attack.

look at this senator ted cruz is now saying republicans will move to impeach biden over the border collapsef they win back control of congress. we'll break down, what is the crime and misdemeanor for that standard? and border patrol agents again, they were shot at again from across the border with mexico. so where is the urgency to protect our southern border? i'm elizabeth macdonald. thanks for joining us. "the evening edit," it starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show, you're watching the fox business network. the president facing renewed scrutiny. 55% disapprove of him on the pandemic in a new cnbc change research poll. 60% disapprove of him on the economy. the u.s. did report a record number of new covid cases. over one million new infections in just one day. now edward lawrence has more from washington. edward. reporter: liz, president joe biden says he understands the frustration as we're three years into this pandemic. a senior administration official is telling fox news the administration moved up the delivery of 10 million pfizer pills for the therapeutic side of this fr

we had congressman ted lieu. the letter he co-wrote in july, 2020 asking the doj inspector general horowitz to investigate the fact that you were remanded to prison during the pandemic. so you heard what he had to say. what was your reaction? >> first of all let me start by saying i am extremely grateful to congressmen ted lieu and hakeem jeffries for penning this july 2020 letter requesting michael horowitz open an investigation into the un-constitutional and retaliatory remand of me back to prison based upon my refusal to waive my first amendment constitutional right and publish the book "disloyal." i want to correct you on something. i am not the one who is saying it. it was actually said by the judge when he stated he has never seen anything like this before. this is nothing but retaliatory and it is un-constitutional. but, alex, let me say this as well. 18 months have now transpired and absolutely nothing. there's no investigation. there's not even a reply. all right? the request appears to have gone complet

i talked about it a while ago, that weird ted cruz that happened this week.pated in january 6th violent terrorists. then he was made to go -- i haven't seen ted cruz back down on a lot of arguments in his life. he faces a lot of criticism. he tends to stick on hus guns. he went on tucker karlsson and grovelled, said it was clumsy what he said. it's a weird thing, it's alarming, it's more than weird. it's the idea that ted cruz got the message if you want to succeed in the republican party you need to tow the party line no matter what. >> yeah, by any other name. all this bravado and intellect from harvard, yale, fine institutiop to tucker carlson. are you kidding me? you cannot be that dapt and inept. this is the same guy that took it when donald trump said his father assassinated john ff. kennedy and his wife was ug lip. it is an absolute abuse of relationship. it goes back to what we were talking about a little bit. what level of intervention do we as current and former republicans, olivia, myself and others, what can we do but also greater than that, what

with the subcommittee on middle east, north africa, and global counter terrorism, joined by my friend ted deutch, who will be on the floor later. gonzalez from the state department, and assistant to the administrator, robert jenkins from usaid. effectiveness from the u.s. government's response to the conflicts and what we are doing to help prevent future ones, ranging from violent extremism, armed conflict and traditional warfare, these conflicts consistently require lawmakers to understand the drivers, whether ideological, socioeconomic or others, devise policy, and a frame work to strengthen african governments bilateral responses. as solutions to conflicts in africa, i hope they will also list measures congress can take to strengthen current and future responses. my colleagues, i would like to know what more the u.s. can do to assist conflict that is are happening. for example, the conflict in ethiopia. your answers will help inform legislation in the future. again, violent extremism spurred on by local and transnational actors for a variety of reasons, including weak governance and pe
