and this week i'm introducing a bill to end mask mandates. >> just one small point, ted cruz.st of more than $25,000 a year, whereas the blog boing boing reports masks are required. the school views the use of face covering as an important way that we as a community can slow the spread of the virus and protect one another. due to the current situation in our community, all persons on campus will be required to have a face covering. so according to ted cruz, there should be no mask mandates except, apparently, at his own kids' very expensive school. no mandatory masks for your children in the classroom, but they're fine for mine. oh, hypocrisy, ted cruz be thy name. >>> coming up, another bad faith argument often made by republicans against vaccine mandates is that they're anti-freedom, anti-liberty. but even staunch libertarian scholars are saying they're in favor of such mandates. i'll talk to one of them right here next. one of th em right here next. ♪ rock n't ti boat over ♪ here we go. ♪ don't rock the boat, baby rock the boat ♪ see disney's jungle cruise. it's time to roc

(cheers and applause). >> stephen: really-- there you go. but perhaps the most upsetting musical casualty of the delta variant is that stevie nicks has cancelled her concerts for 2021, citing her fear of catching covid. no! now you've done it, america. thank

carley: this moment resulted in a nasty exchange between cnn and senator ted cruz.ng death to america but they seem friendly at the same time. it is utterly bizarre. carley: senator ted cruz said is there an enemy of americas responded in a sweet saying rather than running to cancun in tough times she's risking her life to tell the world what is happening, that is, bravery instead of re-tweeting a conspiracy theory soundbite, your time would be better spent helping americans in harm's way, when ted cruz went to cancun during a deadly storm in texas, nasty exchange. >> she's a distant this reporter doing the job many of us are not brave enough to do. heather: interesting response from their pr department, typically their responses are boring and this one not boring. this photo is a stunning image. carley: the first images of us cargo jets packed with terrified afghan he is desperate to flee taliban rule. some of these people who jumped on american planes desperate to leave the country and that chaotic scene in kabul yesterday, 640 afghans on a plane designed to carry

they're not ted cruz but people from states that could go either way. and it's never easy to pass anything in congress when you have majorities that are this thin. never in the history of our congress has it been easy to pass anything, anything, if it's this evenly divided. i want to make the point that the people who are going to decide whether or not we're in the majority going forward from this day are the people that we can't lose sight of. and the people that are most worried about losing their seats are not in blue places. they are in purple places, at best. that's why we have to go out and beat people like ron johnson, take that seat in pennsylvania and maybe even take out marco rubio but we won't do that by swinging for the fences when we don't have the votes because congress is so evenly divided. >> go ahead, matthew. >> i agree with claire on part of it. we are evenly divided as to what our representeded government currently exists. we are not evenly divided as a country as a whole. this goes to my fundamental problem. the bones of our democra

put all the focus on that that the cost of a lot of other positions and as you point out senator ted cruzock every state department nominee as it comes through over his objections of the new policy to gas line between germany and russia. but when you step back and look at that it's a political question and what the founders intended this is where the political fights are supposed to take place in my the senate has that authority to confirm nominees or not. >> it focuses them to get down at the table to say i'm really concerned about this it really helps russia don't do this and its to block the state department appointees. >> it's interesting democrats and republicans are to blame over the past decades increasingly whatever party is in control in congress if there party controls the white house they are happy to cede control to the white house which i think is a very dangerous trend republicans did it it is a terrible trend and i think government works a whole lot better when you have democrats or republicans in congress fighting to protect their authority and to provide that oversight an

i want to play a little bit from senator ted cruz of texas, one of the people that went to the floor of the senate and talked about this idea of regulation of crypto and admonishing other senators. [video clip] >> let's exercise a brief shining moment of common sense and less recognize that if we have gathered all 100 senators in this chamber and have them articulate two sentences defining what a cryptocurrency is that you would not get greater than five who could answer that question. given that reality, the barest exercise of prudence would say we should not regulate something we do not understand. we should take the time to understand it. we should consider the consequences. we should not destroy people's lives and livelihoods from complete endurance. my amendment is simple. it does not add anything to this bill. it strikes these provisions. let's not do this until we know what we are talking about. let's be cautious. let's be reasonable. let's not be the number one economic developer for the communist party of china by sending cryptocurrencies overseas to our competitors because

at that point, objections were made, i believe joined in by senator ted cruz and a senator who was also joining in with the objections, upon senator cruz in my recollection, the senators began to leave the chamber along with vice president. at that point, debate began with respect to the objection connected to the state of arizona and there were about 45 minutes worth of debate, as i recall, before the proceedings were interrupted. during the bait, -- the debate, perhaps the most memorable moment was when congressman jamie raskin rose to speak. for the first time since the news had broken that his son had tragically passed away on, i believe it was new year's eve, or certainly in close proximity to new year's eve. and that was the first time that congressman raskin was back on the floor. everyone on both sides of the aisle, democrats and republicans, stood up prior to him speaking to give him a standing ovation. [applause] rep. jeffries: at some point, the sergeant at arms interrupted the proceedings to indicate that the capitol had been breached to some degree and to keep us informed a

then the pundits say well was because ted cruz was particularly cruel today. so it's not a way that we like to think about ourselves but i wonder whether you yourself have thought much about what the appeal actually is and not just among -- but if you look at you can see cruelty and to some extent you can see the cruelty appeal to people and i wonder if you could talk about the target of the message. >> i think it makes them feel as though they belonged and it makes them feel powerful and it makes them feel above people who are being acted upon. it's a depoliticized version of this. if he ever been a child you have seen the cool kids try to make fun of the nerdy kids and maybe you join in because you want to be part of the cool kids group or maybe you are one of the rare few who stick up for the kid who's getting picked on or maybe you stay silent because you don't want to be the next target. and the kids -- the cool kids are teasing the nerdy kids have formed a community through that act of they are doing something that they are not supposed to be doing and t

do you have confidence in our vetting process or do you share the same concern that ted cruz has?nce in our vetting process but it takes several months, even years to that applicants. the fact that we are doing this amount of individuals in a short period of time in a matter of days i have concerns the corners will become during that process. todd: let's look at the overall picture, no disrespect to the brave men and women that make up this agency, you know them, you're in charge of them and they worked tirelessly to keep us safe but this administration struggled mightily through the border crisis, and refugee settlement to their place. >> taxing the system. and other resources, and on top of that the fact they convert these thousands of it individuals, whether they are those we have a lot of information about our other vulnerable afghans we have very little information about. it is taxing the system and when you have this amount of individuals to screen invest in a matter of days there are corners that will be cut. the most concerning thing is these visa applications are not goin

ted cruz crowed the other day that he introduced a new bill that would stop federal or local governmentsrom imposing mass mandates. he will be the first to criticize the biden administration if covid does not disappear. i fully understand the sense that some people have that masks are a mandate. i disagree. or vaccinations may not be safe although they are. i get that position. you have no right to take that position and then criticize the biden administration for not doing its job. they are trying to do the job, but if you block them every step of the way, it ranks in the highest level of hypocrisy. host: plenty to talk about this morning with former congressman steve israel. bert is up first. go ahead. caller: i would like to ask the former u.s. representative about how he would compare the situation with governor cuomo to the situation with bill clinton, monica linsky, and the situation with joe biden and tara reid, where i saw an interview where she claimed joe biden groped her in a senate office and i think 1996. guest: high don't compare that because in that case you have ms. reade

senator ted cruz, republican from the great state of texas.ffice because of this debacle. you are calling it an embarrassing spectacle. what do you think about removing the president from office? >> what is unfolding in afghanistan is an absolute disaster. it is catastrophic and their need to be serious public congressional inquiries into what went wrong and there are two options. number one, the intelligence and war planning of the biden administration was catastrophically wrong. they did not anticipate what would happen or number 2, the intelligence and planning accurately predicted what would happen and the political leadership of the biden harris administration disregarded that intelligence and planning. either way what we've seen is a disaster. what we have seen is a poorly executed exit from the theater in danger ring the lives, thousands of americans remain in afghanistan. it appears the administration has no reasonable plan to allow those americans to leave. thousands of afghans aided and assisted our military presence for decades and

here is what senator ted cruz had to say. sen.ruz: the decision yesterday by the cdc to reverse its guidance and mandate masks for vaccinated people is the kind of decision that is infuriating people across this country. i believe the cdc decision yesterday was politics, it was not science. it was a decision that somehow pretends vaccines don't work. the cdc months ago rightly concluded that vaccinated people don't need to wear masks because the whole purpose of a vaccine is not to get the disease. that decision was right, the science has not changed, the only thing that has changed is the politics. a year and a half ago the cdc was one of if not the most respected scientific and medical organizations in the country. today the credibility of the cdc is in tatters because of me -- because the leadership at the cdc has and willing to allow science to become politicized. host: we want to know what you think. are you confidence in the biden administration's response to the new covid sir? let's talk to mark who is calling from chico, c

those hopes were dashed by texas republican senator ted cruz. i object. cruz repeatedly objected to senate majority leader chuck schumer's attempt to pass the for the people act which would create national standards for voting rights. this bill would constitute a federal government takeover of elections. >> it would constitute a massive power grab by democrats urging congress to pass the for the people act was a top reason crockett and her democratic colleagues came to washington after flynn, texas back in july to stop republicans from enacting new voting restrictions. when we left. i'm sure my colleagues never saw that there would be a movement that would be started. but now with no movement on a federal voting rights bill and with congress back home for the summer. crockett says she will keep fighting despite a warrant out for her arrest when she returns home. i mean, imagine the imagery of it. when you have political opponents, they go out and arrest their opponents for the purpose of passing voter suppression. schumer is offering texas democrats. some

or whatever crazy thing ted cruz said the other day.even for unenthusiastic persons, we can see they can become polarized in just a month of exposure. so we need to think about, and no simple fix and no would never getting to macro don't just get into facebook's into the switch. that would be great. but we need to if it is too far process, emergence and micro interacting with a macro. as for the macros creating the structure, that is misaligned but were also precipitating in it. wwe are not even though we all know for not changing each other's mice which by the way we dress people, you think you're changing anybody's mind, nobody thinks that but someone will be doing. >> were signaling exactly. okay so everyone underlying this point. it is a point that affects a much more politics, the gradual change from ideas or interests are mentally her interest to identity. the theme of the 31st century. why we are polarized and we done a lot of research. and really summarizes this, print political parties is to be collisions and industries and act

john, joe manchin did the ted cruz move, not as dramatic as ted cruz dug back in the day, but they reached across the campus and tried to influence the house of representatives. which is simply not done. it's not supposed to be done. and they had no effect, they were trying to encourage the ten moderate democrats to hold the line, and in the end, nancy pelosi really crushed joe manchin and the senator in that attempt. the thing about that lawrence is it's not supposed to be done, the only penalty for trying to do it, is the penalty that was inflicted on mansion this week which was they look like ineffectual, they look ineffectual, i'll that isn't a noun rather than an adjective. they look sort of pathetic for having tried. and it gives you a sense that we know these two chambers have their own dynamics in their own way of operating, i think that's with this highlights more than anything, joe manchin and kristen sinema, they will use their power, their leverage, in the senate, to extract sessions, we saw before, we're going to see it again, in the house it's very hard for individual members

these are republicans, were talking conservatives, good conservatives like ted cruz, john cornyn, ted thune, there's already far far too much green new deal on this bill, we will talk to kim's jostle from the wall street journal and steve moore of freedom works with all those problems, most particularly the unprecedented centralized control over the economy that the democrats are seeking to the green new deal, it's not free enterprise is corporate cronyism, status capitalism, car companies pledging to sell half their cars by 2030 as long as the federal government pays for. some people would call that socialism. and as i mentioned last evening president biden has choked off all the mining in the production of rare minerals and he's aiming to stop oil, natural gas and coal as well so we couldn't go to a battery driven economy even if we wanted to and frankly i don't want to anyway. now back to senator hagerty, at least the gop by partisans can do is pay for their bill, transparently out in the open. but now it's clear he hasn't even done that. i think i'm losing my patience of the whole
