bolton exposed and senator ted cruz is here on the betrayal of those so called "judicial conservatives" of the supreme court. but first, democrats devour our cities, that's the focus of tonight's "angle." "the wall street journal" today published a searing piece about the coming exodus from urban america. in just three months, it has become clear that modern urban progressivism is a politically incompetent intellectually incoherent. the unhappy result is young families and well-off retirees leave is that these cities will be increasingly becoming more divided between upscale progressive singles able to afford the political incompetence and the residents of intercity neighborhoods that will fall further behind. in march when the covid lockdown began, we saw how quickly life and most big cities deteriorated. left-leaning mayors prolonged their stay-at-home orders when common sense screams that doing so would only create tidal waves of misery. so when the schools and churches and community rec center is closed, there was little for young people and cities to do. many of them couldn't go t

i'm also joined by senator ted cruz in the great state of texas.enator, i wanted to pause important just a moment and acknowledge the contrast to what we have seen when the lights go out and many of our cities. it's tough at night. not saying that that is the reason why it's happening but this is a contrast, this is democra democracy, this is people protesting peacefully. i'm going to go to the next topic while i still have time with you. former acting attorney general rod rosenstein is going to face tough questioning tomorrow. i know you're looking into the origins of the russia probe, rosenstein appointed robert mueller as a special counsel and he wrote the memo outlining the scope of robert mueller's inv t investigation where he expanded. what are you looking for when you talk to rosenstein? >> we're looking for the truth. the documents that broke about the degree to which the obama administration directly targeted the fbi and the intelligence agencies to go after president trump and his campaign team. the degree to which it came from the very,

yeah, that ted cruz. >> people are going to pay a lot of money of this.lt of nearly a week of back and forth on twister over kneeling during the national anthem that included president trump. >> eventually ted cruz joined the debate, which set perlman off, saying that cruz talks smack about his hometown of new york every chance he gets. he eventually tweeted quote it's personal, let's go. >> don't mess with new york. and just last night perlman also upped the ante to include senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. >> no comment. >>> next, our all-time favorite brown-skinned girl blue ivy. >> at 8 years old the daughter of beyonce and jay-z has been nominated for her first-ever b.e.t. award. her mother's "brown skinned girl" nominated for the b.e.t. h.e.r. award which recognizes new soul and traditional r&b artists. >> she's facing stiff competition. the track is up against entries from alicia keys, lizzo, and missy elliott. a lot of brown-skinned girls there. this year's b.e.t. awards are o. we wish little blue ivy the best of luck. >> she's adorable and

deaths at a time when americans are more scared of their healthcare, he's stopping funding -- even ted cruz and john cornyn are writing him a letter telling him he can't do that as the texas governor is telling texas residents stay at home. this is getting worse. it's getting worse in arizona. it's getting worse in florida. this guy that you and i have known for many years, he's -- not only is he not acting like he doesn't want to get re-elected, he's acting like he really wants to lose badly and take the republican party down with him. i mean, none of this would make sense in the conventional sense. but you look at every single move he's making, he's on the 25% of a 75/25 issue and it keeps happening every day. >> yeah. last night in that sham of a town hall with sean hannity, a big proponent of stop and frisk, anything that shows anybody could be so tone deaf towards what's going on in the country right now, is somebody in favor of is stop and frisk. >> you have to be kidding me. >> joe, you said something last week, a high level insider at the white house thinks there's a chance that aug

everyone is still talking about ted cruz's tweet where he challenged actor ron perlman to a wrestlingatch -- but not with himself ted wants perlman to wrestle congressman jim jordan it seems pretty wild that cruz is challenging actors to fight other politicians, but he's not backing down in fact, he just released this video statement. >> hi, i'm ted cruz, the senate's wettest-looking man i recently tweeted at ron perlman. "listen, hellboy you talk a good game when you've got hollywood makeup and stuntmen, but i'll bet 10k you couldn't last five minutes in the wrestling ring with jim jordan without getting pinned." well, i'm just getting started, hollywood. ♪ open your years, terminator 2. i know you seem tough when you have your big boy sunglasses and your movie magic metal face but how about you come on in to my backyard and see if you can suplex mitch mcconnell i have two marie callender gift cards that says you can't. peep this, either hobbs or shaw you may seem tough as nails with your tummy full of hollywood frappuccinos but all the starbucks in the world ain't gonna help you whe

he approved the scope and ted cruz pointed out, rosenstein may have been the deep states perfect useful idiot. well, i think it is worse. take a look. >> on may 17th, you appointed bob mueller as special counsel. june 29th you sign the third prize application, august 2nd, you signed the second scope application. you came in to a profoundly politicized world and yet all of this was allowed to go forward under your leadership that unfortunately leads to only two possible conclusions. either that you were complicit in the wrongdoing, which i don't believe was the case, or that your performance of your duties was grossly negligent. >> sean: it's senator ted cruz from texas joins us. senator, he signed the last warrant. we know that the sub source debunk the dossier. this deal did not stand by the dossier. warrants one, two, three, four on the court. and then he knew there was no need for mueller's appointment. they did it anyway, senator. >> this was from day one a politicized partisan targeting of the president of his campaign, of his team, general flynn come of carter page. it was wrong.

but on twitter, republican senator ted cruz describe the protesters as the "american taliban."ther more recent historical t gacy being examined is t the american civil war. multiple b u.s. militares are named after confederate commanders who fought to preserve slavery. there are 10 of them who spread across six southern states, so of which were on the part of the acconfed that fought against the union in the north. earlier this week, the ay suggested they might be open into changing the basis' names, sparking an angry response by the president, who flat really -- flatly refused to rename any of them. the opposition democrat party behind th its weight campaign to remove some from the u.s. capitol, where congress, of course, since. nancy pelosi, the country's top elected democrat, wrote this letter to a congressional committee in charge of managing the statues, saying they must be removed. this is what one of her colleagues had toay. >> the individuals who are being honored by those strategy was, in effect, fought to keep people -- those statues, in effect, fought to keep people

most of them, ted cruz but also mike huckabee, marco rubio, many great candidates.e was not their first choice. choice reached a binary between haney -- between him and hillary clinton and he pledged life, tot unborn appoint originalist judges to defend the state of israel and to be the best friend that israel has ever had, moving the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel, and defend our first amendment rights different -- religious freedom and our ability to express our faith free from persecution, he said for all of those things and does today and hillary clinton and joe biden stand on the opposite of every one of those issues, and i think that he is advancing -- does he occasionally say or tweet something i wish he wouldn't? sure he does, but he is advancing those moral issues and the common good, hand i think the other side is advancing grave moral evils by standing for the opposite. it wasn't just a politically right thing to do, to support him then and now, it was the morally right thing to do. they were ear

us that you can't trust a politician who uses a bible as a prop, it's the guy who railed against ted cruz back in 2016. >> he is some liar. he's a professional liar, you know, i say it. i'm doing great with evangelicals. but liein' ted comes in and holds the bible up, he holds it high, right? he holds it high, and then he lies. he lies. >> jimmy: there really is a clip for every scenario with him. so after trump "paid his respects" the white house, which vehemently denied this was a photo op, posted a highlights reel to celebrate the president's heroic walk across the street. with an inspiring music track and everything. ♪ >> jimmy: well, maybe god is watching over us after all. it's hard to believe he really exists. he tweeted today that his administration "has done more for the black community than any president since abraham lincoln." "..and the best is yet to come!" oh no. there's more? how could it get any better than this? >> with your tweet today, are you concerned that you might be stoking more racial violence or more racial discord? >> no, not at all. maga says make our country g

maria: and that was senator ted cruz with me this week talking about google's decision to crack downhe federalist, on "mornings with maria." we are back with the ceo and chairman of natkwest, also the owner of the l. a. times and the san diego tribune. not only are you saving the world with vaccines that we were just talking about in development, but you are also the owner of two major media companies. i want to get your take on what has taken place this week. you've got the department of justice pushing back on google, pushing back on social media in general, removing their immunity to lawsuits because of this break in terms of crushing some conservative speech. your reaction. >> well, you know, i completely agree with the senator. i think one of the concerns is that these media, so-called media platforms have taken and usurped all the work of hard working journalists and taken those news pieces and used them in this, in their platforms without any of the obligations to be responsible for the truth. so as i've said, you know, the ability to take social media and spread that news whe

mark meadows endorsed both madison as well as his opponent as well as a sort of as rand paul and ted cruz who also got involved in this race behind madison but here's what it shows is the breakdown and the bad sort of advice president trump is getting and you shouldn't dorsenne the races and the thought might be this might be coming from richard burr and thom tillis the tuesday sitting senators in north carolina who might be a little intimidated about this fresh new face name madison called for you and so is a real estate investor handicapped and it will tour but in a wheelchair and very well spoken and obviously doing very well in this picture can possibly untie a prostate intimidation might be the reason why they don't want trying to endorse earl he might be a young fresh face for the republican party scotty and they needed a much needed a young fresh look and election day is obviously coming you know in november it can be here just like that but we're now learning the same company that spied on those 17000 protesters from the police brutality marches have also been involved or at least

then that's larry that's the damndest thing because all of these republicans shine who i know like ted cruz and jim jordan. and privately they can't stand trump but they don't call the police say anything about him i don't recognize these guys anymore we screamed about it when obama was president they don't say a thing about the debt with trump as president it's just wrong. we have 2 problems who he's facing 2 of the problems nascar and the n.f.l. both walked away from him on a race issue the n.f.l. almost now saying it's ok to take a knee and i would imagine at the opening game of the n.f.l. season the all take me. yeah and nascar has done away with the dixie flag. he has handled the race issue even he would admit poorly has he not he sure has larry and it's hurt him in the polls more than the pandemic yes when you look at the polling right now down trumps reaction to the killing of george following the fact that he's he's made us more divison have the fact that he used the military the fact that he he says don't even touch our military bases that are named after confederate soldiers he's

or who just saw ted cruz's corentin beard but either way now that he wants congress involved do you know what that means. that they'll see if they have any donors tied to this issue before they take any action they go but why are you so bummed according to days at this caving to your donors wants is the moral thing to do. and who hire the f.f.s. . believe they're with lockheed martin yeah that sounds about right thanks for joining me now and now let's get to the stories we didn't have time to get to so we'll get to them now i have correspondent anders larry here with me anders and what i want stories you got well right now there's a lot happening in minnesota right now of course there was a killing of another unarmed black man in minneapolis a memorial day and riots have have ensued in the past couple of days of course we don't want to like linger too much on what the guy was accused of but it really is pretty innocuous he had a potentially a counterfeit 20 dollar bill and that led to a police officer you know holding his knee against his neck on the on the curb where you have so i mean
