not only is ted cruz vaccinated. ted cruz was born with an immunity that protects him from contracting any friends. >> burn. this is silly. we know that, but it also goes to an increasingly desperate right wing attack trying to locate what's left of this debate outside of schools or in them. going after kids, going after big bird. it's bad faith arguments. we've seen it from tucker carlson. we've seen cruz get on board. if you're wondering -- again, who is the one changing and who is consistent? on this one sesame street has been pretty consistent. big bird has touted vaccines since the '70s. >> something is going on down at the store. i wonder -- it's kind of funny it's strange. it's all kinds of people and they're all in a line and they don't look like they're buying candy. there's a sign that says "don't wait -- vaccinate." >> i guess what was more conventionally and widely accepted then has now become, because of these bad faith arguments, something they want to be controversial as they lose fights over vaccinati

ted cruz going after cheney for her opposition to former president trump. e played pinball games. >> i love them. >> she hates donald trump so much that it just has -- it has overridden everything in her system. she's lark out at trump, at republicans, at everything, and she's become a democrat. and it's sad to watch what is happening. it is trump derangement syndrome. >> i think that trump broke ted cruz. ted used to say he was a constitutional conservative, but now he is, like, so desperate for political approval that he will even advocate, suggest, secession. and i think that a real man would be defending his wife and his father and the constitution. >> so, joe, we know that ted cruz says whatever needs to be said to the person in front of him to please them, but, my gosh, ted cruz, of all people, if you want to talk about being broken by donald trump. he had horrible things to say during the campaign. donald trump insulted his wife, accused his father of being in on the assassination of jfk and now he rallies to donald trump's defense whenever he gets th

ted cruz knows he's lying. but extraordinary cynicism coupled with the type of propaganda that comes out of fox news and the right wing can turn that nonsense into reality. so ted cruz helped incite the january 6th attacks with his lying, with hisins gagss. he was of course revving up the crowd there that morning. and he has sought to whitewash it with more lying for many many months. he is a truly despicable figure at a moment of real crisis. history will judge him very, very harshly should american democracy prevail in the years of fight that lie ahead between this extremist movement that is gaining strength, not decreasing in strength? claire, i want to turn to the reporting in the "new york times" about the resignation of two -- i mean, for all of my time and steve schmidt's time in american politics, these two gentlemen were important and influential. and it's good that they left, it is good to have a line. i want to show what you didn't cross the line for them. >> america's most dangerous insurrectionists

we want to continue our conversation with senator ted cruz.bout the importance of standing up to some of the autocrats around the world. i would be remiss if i didn't ask you about the state of our own democracy. i know you have condemned the violence on january 6. but in that book "peril" bob woodward and robert costa r-79ed detailed conversations you had with the president, donald umt that time. on january 6 and that you knew there was no congressional authority to overturn the elecion. didn't indulging the doubters damage our democracy and our standing in the world? >> well, i haven't read that particular book, and i didn't happen to have an

>> so is ted cruz to be fair.nd checked but i bet he didn't attack r2-d2. it is a now thing. . >>s this an opportunistic dunk, reinforced by so much of the conservative ecosystem that just immediately took the bait to hate. to call this propaganda rather than just an attempt to inform kids, calm parents, answer their questions. and i appreciate you didn't want to dig phi some of the attacks. one tweeted out big bird is comm communist. it is the deepest recesses of mccarthyism. we will call big bird a communist. it is so bonkers that i think people should be forced to see and confront it for what it is. there is something palpably unwell who would demonize big bird. >> it does such a disservice to people everywhere. the knee-jerk reactions that are filled with misinformation. filled with misinformation. . >> almost goes without saying. >> whether it's myocarditis where the risk is low and much higher if your child gets covid. long-term effects of the vaccine. they leave their body of teaching your body how to fight

senate, big bird tweeting unlike ted cruz i won't fly to cancun when texas is in trouble. that liberals, conservatives, red, white and blue everyone understands you don't run to a foreign country when there is a historic devastating storm at home and you lead to service and and advocacy. big bird's pals are jumping in for example, someone more known as a foodie than politico, cookie monster is again according to the campaign manager tweeting told me join the dark side we have cookies and even i said no. that's real restraint of someone that's a cookie monster. that's not all. elmo being tapped as a senior advisor to the campaign as you know from covering campaigns that can be a big deal and big bird is the communications director. i know what you're thinking. where is earnie. why would they have burt without earnie? >> people are suggesting cruz' dog snow flake left at home with all texans when the senator skipped town will endorse big bird and mcfarland says it's no better than cruz so if you're keeping score, right now it is as you can see here big bird doing big things

ted cruz.lished because he's jumped on this claiming it is government propaganda for your 5-year-old. if that sounds stupid and off base, that is because it is. children get vaccinated for school so it is not propaganda. they learn about this as a medical fact so they could understand this affects them and big bird was out getting his measles shot in public as far back as 1972. so, yes, america, the news tonight is that big bird has been repping vaccine safety. you might say he's been out in the sesame like he ain't in these streets more than sesame. laura, your thoughts? >> look, ari, we're talking about a muppet. ted cruz today picked a fight with a muppet. it's sort of perfect in a way because the man is totally useless as a senator. it froze in texas and he flew south to cancun -- >> boy were his wings tired. >> he and big bird have something in common, they both fly south for the winter. ted cruz obviously does not give a hoot about public safety. if he wants to make this a bodily autonomy

senator ted cruz, among others, condemning big bird for advocating for kids to get thefá vaccine, callingit government propaganda. ♪♪ ♪♪ >> there's a word i came up with today -- >> uh-huh. >> -- i can hardly say it, but i think you will know what it means. >> why don't you tell me, and maybe i can help you. >> well, it's quite a word. you ready to hear it? >> sure! okay, listen to this. ( clears throat )

but the dogs don't like the dog food with ted cruz. he has not been popular with republicans so i think he's sort of in a jam. >> and i'll leave that analogy right where you left it there. [ laughter ] kirsten, we saw florida governor ron desantis try and troll democrats by signing an anti-vaccine mandate bill in brandon, florida, where he was greeted with cheers of "let's go brandon," which right wingers think that's a slam on joe biden. the democrats have been turning that around in the last week or so and saying "let's go brandon" after the democrats got all is that stuff passed in the house. i wish we were making this up, this is not "the onion." it says they are going to ban big bert, bert, and ernie because they endorsed vaccinations. when i went to cpac, it didn't go well either, and i'm not a "sesame street character, despite what some people might think." >> banning big bird, this is what excites voters that you have to be -- have such purity test that you use it for puppets, um, is just -- it's just taking it to a new level.

and it's interesting because not only is ted cruz vaccinated, he was born with an immunity that protects him from contracting any friends. but the truth is i think maybe ted is still sore about big bird's most recent book. "big bird visits cancun to find ted cruz's balls." spoiler alert: he didn't find them. newsmax announced they will be requiring their employees to get the vaccine. which is surprising. this would be like arby's making their staff go vegan. today is the deadline for federal workers to be fully vaccinated, and thousands of them are claiming religious exemptions to try to get out of it. a religious exemption is basically asking god to write you a note to get you out of p.e. it is a fanciful idea considering the fact that even the pope supports the vaccine. if you can prove you're more religious than the pope, then i'm okay with it. the pope of green bay quarterback aaron rodgers has been playing some very spotty defense. as i'm sure you know, rodgers, who is unvaccinated, tested positive for covid last week. even though he told reporters he was immunized months ago. rodge

trump-derangement syndrome. >> congresswoman cheney had this to say to it all today. >> trump broke ted cruz was a constitutional conservative. but now, he is, like, so desperate for political approval, that he will even advocate, suggest succession. and i think that a real man would be defending his wife his father and the constitution. >> back with jonathan karl. i mean, what is it with somebody like cruz? a pure political calculation? he was a failed presidential candidate himself and spoke very, you know, against donald trump when he thought he had no power and wasn't going to win and then he obviously saw the writing on the wall. >> go back to what cruz said about donald trump. i mean, it was the harshest condemnation of donald trump that anybody's ever done. and he did it for good reason. i mean, as -- as liz cheney points out. i mean, he accused cruz's father of being part of the kennedy assassination. he attacked the looks of his wife. i mean, it -- it's -- but it's -- the calculation here is quite simple. the vast majority of republican voters -- at least two-thirds in virtually eve

but not for ted cruz. instead, ted cruz today is one of the expresident's biggest boosters. and his party, hostage to donald trump and his delusions of a stolen election is forced to twist itself into knots to defend the most extreme trump allies, people like paul gosar who remains so unrepentant about what he did that he retweeted that violent video that gothill him censures after the censure vote in the house. what mccarthy focused on was how much democrats might rue the day. mccarthy said the vote would mean members in influential position would need the position of a majority to keep those positions in the future even though democrats have targeted their colleagues with similarly or metaphorical violent imagery. mccarthy wasn't the only one to preview having so ominous on wednesday. indeed, this has become a growing mainstay of the gop pushback on democratic majorities this year. when republicans are in the majority, where is that going to end? representative schiff roy said. here's what speaker pelosi had to say about the threats by the republicans that they would recei

ted cruz responded saying government propaganda for your 5-year-old. >> trevor: ted cruz, you need totiktok, not twitter. i'm surprised ted cruz is even going hard after big bird, considering how much they have in common. they boast desperately want to fly but they can't. this whole thing is such a double standard. people upset about big bird getting the vaccine but no one cares about all the hormone injections they have been giving him to make him as big and delicious as possible for when they eventually eat him. it's going to happen. it's will be the worst thanksgiving episode of all time. i will say big bird getting vaccinated is not an effective way to convince people to get a shot. if they really want to convince the kids, they should have killed one to have the "sesame street" characters with covid. kids remember that shit. the count should be on his death bed, the vaccine could have saved me but it's too late now. how many regrets do i have? one regret -- two regrets -- ah, ah ah -- ( flat lining ) your kid will remember that shit forever. big bird is entitled to his opinions b

because immediately, there were so many renditions about ted cruz. they were everywhere.e once was a man named ted. when texas froze, he fled. he went to cancun, but came back too soon. rest in peace, irony, you're dead. the reason why cruz and carlson spent so much of their time spreading manure is because there's a marketplace for it. it's dominated by fox news and it's got copy cats like newsmax. murdoch recently told his shareholders, conservatives will be held back if trump stayed focused on the past and that the past is the past and it's time for conservatives to think about the fup. i wonder if the company murdoch runs or the republican party he controls will even listen to that. i kind of doubt it. look at how the gop responded to one of its own, paul gosar, being censured for sharing a violent animae depicting him attacking prominent democrats with swords. >> today we're critiquing paul gosar's anime. next week, we might be indicting the wylie coyote for an explosive ordnance against the road runner. >> or really anything marjorie taylor greene has to say. >> we

immigrant have escaped into the interior of the country maybe he didn't see this curve ball when ted cruzeen kept in houston facility that was shut down or girls age 13 to 17 were using literally plastic bags to use the restroom? these stories have been out there on abc and elsewhere. he wasn't prepared. he didn't have an answer. good for ted cruz for asking questions that should have been asked long ago by white house correspondents to jen psaki. >> jesse: karl, you heard kayleigh there is ignorance bliss? did he come unprepared for a reason. >> i doubt it if i were him, i would go back and say why the heck did you let me get into that place? i mean, he looked like an idiot. and cabinet officials who are in charge of something sensitive like this ought to make certain that they understand exactly what is going to come their way. for example, look, it is known, i'm sure it's known inside the agency they should know, he should know when members of congress go to these facilities. and one of the things, particularly if you are, you know, serving in the biden administration, you have an acri

and what ted cruz said yesterday is just continuing now. >> yeah. and it's just cowardly behavior because what we really need in this country is people like ted cruz, people on the right to stand up and tell the truth and to continue to peddle those lies out there is just cowardly. it's just so unfortunate. because, as you said, jeffrey, this kind of political violence is fueled by those lies. and, gosh, what a disservice that he did there. we've also learned that the select committee has interviewed more than 200 witnesses. i've asked committee member zoe lofgren who those witnesses are. here's what she had to tell me. >> many of them are people who are in the administration during the former president's term who have information that they want to give to us as well as people involved in the events leading up to the 6th. and they want to voluntarily give information. >> and can you say if former white house staffers have testified, trump campaign staffers, the staff of the former vice president, mike pence? all of the above? >> i won't be that spec

you know, ted cruz wants desperately to be a standard in washington, d.c.nd be a lawyer. that to him is a failure. he has worked his whole life to be a senator in dc and that is basically the be all and end all of his existence. the same thing is true with rand paul. he's a senator from kentucky. it's something his father never achieved, was being elected to u.s. senate, and he would be glad to toss aside everything he knows about medical science in favor of this ambition. this is what really motivates them. this is what motivates a lot of the gop when we ask how could the gop go along with this. for a lot of republicans, you know, some like lee stefanik went to harvard, they have great educations and they've been raised their whole life this is what they're supposed to do. and there's a famous line that a statesman is someone who wants to do something, while a politician is someone who simply wants to be somebody. the gop is full of a lot of politicians and very few statesmen. >> the last word and the psychology on some of those problems. thank you, sir. >

world, and big bird is working for merck. [ laughter ] and it's interesting because not only is ted cruzaccinated, he was born with an immunity that protects him from contracting any friends.

ted cruz was 2 years old, i'm pretty sure ted cruz was watching big bird when he was 2 years old, and back to, you know, a senator that doesn't understand the importance of vaccination. they're trying to politicize it. they are quickly becoming the anti-vaxx party. it's are very sad in my state of texas you have a governor abbott and senator cruz that are trying to go even further to the right to see who can please trump even more, but it is extremely sad, and instead of embracing child vaccination, instead of promoting what big bird has to say and other educational opportunities, you have a senator that will continue to try to put fear monger in communities. it is a sad day for america and for texas. >> it's kind of waste of time, but anyway, all right, you guys, alencia johnson, xochitl hinojosa and kurt bardella, thank you so much. >>> saying you're having the best day ever often might be hyperbole but when it includes a $60 million fortune, maybe not. that's next. maybe not that's next. you're an owner with access to financial advice, tools and a personalized plan that helps you b

( cheers and applause ) i'm surprised cruz is at odds with big bird here. they have so much in common. when it gets cold, they both fly south. ( laughter )Ñi ( applause ) it wasn't just ted cruz. one state senator from arizona tweeted, "big bird is a communist." okay, that's actually true. big bird is a six-year-old, and they're all communists! they don't own any property, the community pitches in to support them, and they say that everything you own is theirs. ( laughter ) never to be out-dumbed, here's fox news: >> big bird is literally hawking an unnecessary vaccine. >> the whole thing is so ineffective and so stupid. >> the truth is, if that show was real, big bird would be shamed right now for not having his or-- you know, vaccination yet. >> stephen: if that show was re

ted cruz on that moment the way. first from a voters in minneapolis rejecting a plan to replace the city's police department with a new departmen of public safety coming as the far left continues its calls tw defund the police, despite the spiking crime in that city. here it is life there in minneapolis for us. hi, garrett. >> sandra, voters here sent a strong message last night, they do not support dismantling the police department, and they wan city leaders who are going to improve policing not to try to get rid of it to 56 percent of voters rejected question two an of the eight city council members who supported dismantling the police department, two of them are now out of the job in as results come in, that number could go t as many as five. mayor jacob fry who opposed the question two also opposed appears poised to win a second term. >> we need deep and structural change to policing is america. we need police officers to make sure they're working directly with the community to keep us safe. all of these things a

thank you, ted cruz, for asking questions that should've been asked long ago by the white house press>> harris: he's in a border state come he's familiar with this. andy biggs in arizona. they have been sounding a bell. apparently they can't hear bells of the white house. >> emily: i think it's falling on deaf ears. triple digit increase doesn't include the got-aways. just to go back for a second, this amazing infrastructure bill that was passed that will settle our economy and our tax dollars for seemingly ever. it eliminates the requirement for social security for illegal children, legal immigrant children of illegal immigrant parents. it will affect about 600,000 children. >> our tax dollars will pay for $8.2 billion with of child tax credits for illegal immigrant children and their illegal immigrant parents. it also eliminates the work requirement and everyone's favorite democrat joe manchin has something to say about it which i think will become a sticking point for theocrat party. he said i believe government should be your best partner but it shouldn't be your provider, he said

>> i'm glad ted cruz wasn't around during the polio crusade.ey and other movie stars and actors and actresses to promote the polio vaccine because we looked to people who are celebrities as -- because they're interesting and, therefore, influential. this is not new. and big bird is influential. so i'm glad that ted cruz wasn't around back in the polio days. >> youor the fda's vaccine advisory committee. we learned pfizer plans to request emergency use authorization for his vaccine booster for anyone 18 years and older. right now boosters are authorized for those 65 plus and people with certain medical conditions. what data do you think is important for your panel to see? >> i think what we need to see is why there's a compelling need to do it. clearly there is evidence if you're over 65 years of age, you are better off receiving three doses rather than two in terms of protection against serious illness. in terms of protection against serious illness for those other age groups the data is less compelling so we need to see the data. we're convinc

ted cruz didn't win iowa, he stole it, trump tweeted.e fraud committed by senator ted cruz during the iowa caucus, a new election should take place or cruz results nullified. same script, different election. the projection racket got really deafening in the final weeks of the 2016 campaign. >> the process is rigged. this whole election is being rigged. there is the issue of voter fraud. isn't it amazing the way they say there is no voter fraud. folks, it is a rigged system and it is a rigged election. believe me. >> i've been saying for a long time, it is a rigged system. it is totally -- it is terrible what's going on. >> the system is corrupt, folks. i've been saying it. it's rigged. i've been saying it for a long time. the system is rigged. >> in fact, trump made claims like this 40 times before election day, in 2016. that's according to the data analytics firm fact base. and it came with the threat, of course that trump wouldn't accept the results if he lost. but the election wasn't rigged. trump won the electoral vote, while losing

maria: coming out, texas senator ted cruz on where the multi trillion dollar spending tax package stands now as bernie sanders pushes for a vote before thanksgiving. working against america, first the transportation secretary skips out for two months during the worst a supply crisis we have ever seen with the store shelves bear and then the energy secretary laughs at us over the soaring prices of gasoline and no plans to fix it and now this, joe biden's nominee for bank regulator admits she wants american companies to go bankrupt. >> going to probably go bankrupt in short order at least we want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change maria: coming up ohio congressman jim jordan is here on how much more damage the democrats can do as they ignore their own self-made crises over and over again. is it a dereliction of duty or simply delusional? >> i understand that voters are frustrated. we inherited a mess from donald trump. maria: plus, america in the bull's-eye as china uses fake american warplanes for target practice during military drills as joe biden has yet to raise th

this is a good one, ted cruz's own take on "sesame street."he reason they have so much to work with is the real problem here. you have one political party that has completely gone off the rails with regard to reality, where they attack psa's over vaccinations during america's deadliest pandemic, confusing it with communist propaganda. you've got the former president of the united states completely delusional. the more information coming out showing he absolutely tried to overturn an election and execute a do did a that, and still he's in a powerful position out of fear. this is all stuff that should be written out of a bad novel or a surreal dark "snl" sketch, but it's the reality we're living with. >> and, margaret, we have to play this sound, speaking of dark and surreal. former national security adviser michael flynn made some comments. i'm sure you guys have seen this, saying that there should be one religion. i wanted to make sure we save some time to talk about this. it's bananas. let's watch. >> we are going to have one nation under god

we are ready now to bring in from the great state of texas senator ted cruz.> good morning, good to be with you. >> we have a couple things to get to. first of all the landscape. i don't want to miss it with you. the landscape that you see for republicans right now. is the word bellwether too big? is the forecast for virginia too big? >> i think virginia is a very important canary in a coal mine. if you look back to 2009 when you had the last time you had a new democratic president, barack obama who adopted extreme policies and adopted obamacare and dodd-frank the reaction, virginia was the first canary in the coal mine that foretold what happened in 2010. the republican revolution when we took congress. i see the same dynamic going on. joe biden last year campaigned as a centrist moderate. he basically promised no more mean tweets but other than that he was just going to go back to calm and peaceful governance and that's not what we've seen this year. instead biden has handed control of the agenda over to the radicals. over to bernie sanders and aoc and eliza

to angela strong words from ted cruz. they're going on the, on the attack there in that session, do you think his question, his accusation was adequately rebuffed. unexplained. no, you call them strong words. what they are as accurate and precise and cutting precisely because the secretary had such a difficulty responding to them. he seemed to think it was his job to be a political screen to question and used the terminology that cruise was offering. but part of that cliff, which i don't think you showed cruise, stipulated ok, you disagree. you don't want them called biden cages. how many children and my orders said i have no answer to that question. we don't know how many women have been brought across the border that were sexually repeatedly abused and sold into sexual slavery and have disappeared. how many children have been sold into pedophile rings and disappeared? how many children have had the virus? how many adults have the virus? are you testing anyone? all these questions have answers that are numbers, not just

here's what she said. >> i think that trump -- ted cruz. ted used to say he was a constitutional conservative. but now, he is like so desperate for political approval, that he will even advocate/suggest succession. and i think that a real man would be defending his wife and his father in and the constitution. >> why don't you tell us what you really think? you know, yeah, i mean, look. he had gone on hannity and criticized her and said that she falls into the category of people who donald trump just broke, just shattered. so, she was throwing this back at him. but this is -- you know, this is the state of the republican party right now. i mean, ted cruz represents a much larger piece of the republican party than liz cheney does. i mean, she is fighting for her life. her political life in the -- in the state of wyoming right now because she voted for impeachment. she dared become a member of the january-6th committee. and cruz, who was an outright enemy of donald trump's, um, is now defending him at every turn. i'm presuming cruz wants to ru

it would appear ted cruz can't help himself. >> can't help himself, and if ted cruz had kids that age another moment of just abject stupidity from a united states senator from one of the nation's maga states in a really serious moment, serious time for the country. we have big problems. we have big challenges. we are at the end of one era, the time frame from the end of the second world war to about 2016 and the beginning of a new one. our leaders don't seem matched to their responsibilities and highest on that list, really, with few peers are the josh hawleys and the ted cruzes and the kevin mccarthys and the whole lot of them. i mean, just of all the things that you could get up and use your platform to talk about, how stupid. and to spread anxiety for families, knowing that this vaccine can save the lives of children who thankfully aren't the prime danger class from covid but we don't really know what the consequences of long covid and these other factors are. and you know, vaccines have been part of american life, thank god, creations of american science for decades, and have save

ted cruz has undermined that, rand paul as undermined that at every turn for pure politics.ever amount to anything and neither one of those two are serious presidential contenders and they should stick to what that do best, writing legislation that will never become law. absolutely not. mike: bail reform, christmas parade massacre in wisconsin where the suspect had long criminal record and lots of smash and grab cases in california, robbie, are those signs we should not be easing up on law enforcement tools? >> yeah, look, it's difficult because there are a lot of criminal justice reform measures that i support, that republicans support and democrats, that have bipartisan, have support of the american people but, you know what, we can't -- we are seeing rise in crime and violence. i think there's been a little bit of societal breakdown because of the pandemic and the mitigation efforts that we put in place to fix the pandemic and it is -- it's scary out there and, look, people are not going to support, you know, lowering police budgets or -- or bail or they are going to supp

think the democratic boycott is the bare minimum and i go back and forth on this because senator ted cruz don't want to punish the athletes and many have set this right, people train their entire lives, peak performance or small window and robbing them of opportunity to compete on behalf of the country and the flag because we have a significant peace in the country, it seems unfair to the athletes. i also love the winter olympics and i am a hockey fan like you are. people want to see the games go on. however, this is where i have horrible stomach inc. this. it's not like it's one thing the chinese communist government has done. it one violation after another across an array of fronts so this tenor player they disappeared for a few weeks, through out there with hostage style videos proof of life, everything is fine don't worry about her well-being, she just vanished a couple weeks after she accused talk party leader of sexual assault, that's getting into the realm of sport, highly disturbing in isolation. then you add it on top of everything else, lying about covid, interrupting, obstructi

also texas senator ted cruz who this week and said they have not ruled out running again.ority's figures former president mike pence delivered a staunch pro-israel messages to the crowd of republican jewish leaders. >> now the bite administration is planning to open a consulate in jerusalem. this is an unlawful step and it is time for congress to act to deny president biden from opening a consulate in jerusalem where the american embassy stands. [cheering] >> also noteworthy education repeatedly came up the domestic issue described as increasingly important to jewish voters to educate american children about the country's relationship with israel will be an essential part to protecting the jewish state. a big headliner former vp speculation by his political future he did not divulge anything. told the crowd president biden has turned his back on israel and promises the gop will win back the country in 2024. new hampshire governor continues to tease he is going to run for senate and next years and midterms to give republicans the majority and newark republican representativ

ted cruz along with rand paul calling on dr. fauci to be investigated over his ties to the wuhan institute of neurology. senator cruz joins us now with more. senator, you laid out the perfect positive that he is lying. he knew that the nih contributed money to it.ih and he lied. tell us the chronology. >> i've got to say, dr. fauci, i think, is the most dangerous bureaucrat in the history of the country. he talked about hurting signs but i don't think anyone has hurt science or hurt the credibility of doctors more than dr. fauci because throughout this pandemic, he has been dishonest, he's been political, he's been partisan. and the american people know it. why is it that the bidenas administration decreed that masks have to be worn in schools by kids? because teachers unions bosses wanted it. that's not a scientific reason, that is a data reason. and this weekend he did this long interview where he gave the answer. d he said, i represent science. i am science. i was laughing. it's like louis xiv, the son king in france saying i

when we come back, senator ted cruz grilled dhs secretary mayorkas on the hill today. we've got a tape. senator cruz will join us next enter whistle-blower has now come forward with devastating information about the fbi's abuse of power. those details straight ahead. >> sean: now failing dhs secretary was grilled on capitol hill today amid the biden administration's open borders failures, now he himself admitted that not all of the 1.2 million illegal immigrants with final removal orders should be deported exposing what is the bite and open agenda even further. thankfully, senate republicans where they are to answer tough questions, take a look. >> how many murderers have you released? >> i am not aware of any murderers. i am not aware of any. >> how many child molesters? >> i am not aware of any child molesters whom we have released. >> we have a president with an international mandate, somebody who comes across the border illegally shouldn't be vaccinated for that's a reason for expulsion. under title 42 or any other law. >> senator, the analysis for migrants encount

it's between nine, seconds ago, senator ted cruz was in focus with me and he made the point that it's squeaky type here and in new jersey where it's tightening. even if that is the case, democrats did not jump on the right issue and by the time they did, it was too late. is it too late moving forward particularly for president biden? >> mollie: what's interesting about these races is how tight they are. virginia is a pretty democrat state. as you noted, joe biden won by ten points. that should not be difficult for mcauliffe. he's a previous governor and he is not a crazy candidate. he is running in a state that should be able to do this in a cakewalk. the fact that it is close is not just an indictment of the biden agenda and the democrats control of the presidency, the senate, in the house and their policies are very unpopular with people. it's indicative of what's going to happen in a landslide. either mcauliffe pulled out an earlier youngkin pulled out nearly come over looking at something next year that's going to be monstrous. >> harris: when you hear the lie at the lectern and m

ted cruz said this is propaganda.o to be factual big bird has been doing psa's on vaccines back to 1972, ten years before charlie was born this is not a new thing and it should be noted. alicia: sesame street does this throughout history trying to help children become more comfortable. but it's a much different time the 1972 were in the middle of a frightening pandemic especially for children. there are parents who want to have this conversation and this interrupts a conversation because parents are probably having this with themselves first and some of the outrage comes in part of the fact that parents feel like they don't have as much control over what's being told to their kids and received that with the pushback in schools and that's an extension of it. i'm not really surprised that the coverages getting in the outrage that is happening because it is very different than it used to be. joe: abby i would get your reaction to randi weingarten she had a tweet defending herself after she took her mask off and a confere
