senator ted cruz will always do the right thing.applause] great nations do not automatically last forever. writing about rome history -- a great civilization is not conquered without until it has destroyed itself within. think about the -- that. great civilizations were first followed out from life. we americans are the most loyal people on earth. we've been given a great heritage and we've taken it for granted. the founding fathers of our country are men like george washington, thomas jefferson, james madison. men who are considered to be evil racist according to top scholars in america's universities. these men are on a course for success that the world has never seen. we survived the civil war, world war one and two, korea, and the cold or and now we face today the greatest danger we've ever faced. the militant left-wing and our country has become the enemy from within. [applause] and you will say that is pretty dramatic. you call that the enemy from within. yes i am and here is life. let's do a situation were. the left has seize

my name is ted cruz and my pronouns are, kiss my ass!plause] what i have to tell you, people know this, college kids know this. they may be afraid to say it, but if you see someone with a beard and chest hair and a voice like barry white, that is a dude. [laughter] like, we know that. leah thomas looks like michael phelps. people across the country, across the world are like, that don't make any sense. it is powerful how many people's eyes are opening up. it is powerful. look, i am focused right now on three things. number one, standing up and fighting every dumbass idea that comes out of joe biden and kamala harris and chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. [applause] in the senate every day i represent 30 million texans. my job is like the old roman coliseum where you slam on a breastplate and you grab a battle ax and you go fight the barbarians. as they say in the military world, it is a target rich environment. number two, i am almost every waking moment crisscrossing this country campaigning for candidates for the senate, candidates for th

and i hate ted cruz. [ laughter ] ted cruz is probably one of the most famous senators, because as ientioned, he's a huge dick. [ laughter ] during my time in the senate, i realized that most americans really have no idea what goes on in the senate. or even who's in the senate. so, i decided to put some pedestrians to the test. i went out on the street today with a simple question, can you name a single u.s. senator? and this is what i learned. ♪ we're here on hollywood boulevard. let's go talk to the informed american electorate. excuse me. what's your name? >> margot. >> al: where are you from? >> burbank. >> al: and can you name one u.s. senator? >> oh. uh -- mitt romney. >> al: okay. >> oh, marco rubio. elizabeth warren. >> al: okay, good, good -- >> amy klobuchar. >> al: you can go, you can go. [ laughter ] we're going to cut that, okay? can you name a u.s. senator? >> uh -- we have dianne feinstein here in california. >> al: okay, dianne feinstein has been around a long time. can you name your junior senator? >> alex pedia, appointed by governor newsom to replace kamala harris

if there's a rotting, insidious idea somewhere anywhere, it's more likely than not that ted cruz had it. he was probably the one who told trump, "yeah, the hat looks great on you, sir. [ laughter ] and these two were apparently in constant communication throughout the months-long coup attempt that culminated in the january 6th riot according to "the post," two days after the 2020 election, trump tweeted the falsehood that "i won this election by a lot. around the time he sent that tweet, the president talked with cruz on the phone. cruz was also dining near the capitol on the evening of december 8, 2020, when he received an urgent call from trump. a lawsuit had just been filed at the supreme court designed to overturn the election. "would you be willing to argue the case?" trump asked cruz. "sure, i'd be happy to," cruz said he responded. first of all, i have a hard time believing their phone conversations were that brief. i don't think trump has ever made a short phone call in his entire life. remember when he used to call into the "fox & friends" while they just sat there without b

we are going to have ted cruz come up here in a little bit. is anyone a more consistent champion of fighting against the left every single day for the u.s. senate? and so this is what you can get out of our leaders. this is what we could get to get me to the united states senate, right? [applause] and so this race is the 51st c. that is not an exaggeration. the entire u.s. senate will hinge on this race. senator masto is considered the most vulnerable center in america. and why is she considered the most vulnerable? first and foremost, as of 13 years, she had nothing to show for nevada. and in all of the fight we have needed her in just the last 12 months, did you hear her calling general milley to resign? did she call for accountability for the afghanistan disaster? has she called on people to stop going after our children, to stop weaponizing the fbi? not a chance. in fact, just this sunday, she had a chance to stand with nevada. she had a chance to break from this disastrous bill $700 billion more. more taxes on all of you. 87,000 irs agent

one door for the senate, and you can all line up to go in every day, which ted cruz might not think iss a [ bleep ] nightmare for whoever has to stand next to ted cruz [ laughter ] "you know, this one-door thing was my idea. can we not [ light laughter ] just spitballing here, but maybe run this idea by a fire marshal first and see what they have to say about it, because famously, nothing bad has ever happened when there's only one way in and one way out of a crowded building can you imagine what would happen if someone in an office, say, with only one door yelled fire or worse still, "ted cruz is in the break room." [ laughter ] these obviously aren't serious ideas. they're pathetic excuses from the most depraved people in our politics who would rather do the bidding of powerful forces like the n.r.a. than do anything to stop these massacres from happening in fact, cruz and donald trump, among others, are still scheduled to address an n.r.a. event in texas on friday these people would rather talk about door control than the obvious answers that have worked in other peer nations across

with a [ bleep ] beard of course, the real victim in that story isn't ted cruz. t the supposed woke university who probably stumbled across cruz on campus with his head sticking out of the bushes [ laughter ] "hey, kid, they teaching any critical race theory in there? they burning the seuss books?" that right there -- kiss my ass -- that is the thesis statement for modern conservatism they don't have any ideas, and they don't like any of anybody else's ideas so they're left with just childish insult comedy and culture war obsessions i don't even think the people in the crowd understood the joke, since it makes no sense -- they just roared at cruz saying the word ass the same thing happens at trump rallies all the time the dude just rambles incoherently for an hour about windmills and b-list celebrities he met in the '80s, and there are long stretches where even his own audience is bored out of their minds. sometimes the camera even cuts to the people in the crowd just standing there, slack-jawed in silence. but then when trump senses he's starting to lose the crow

ted cruz was allowed in the hearing because he is the united states senator.is time to remove parts of his cowboy costume and prepared -- pretend to be outraged about the fbi is focused on domestic extremists. >> yesterday, it was reported that project veritas had obtained a copy of an fbi training material. which listed various symbols and themes, which in the fbi's estimation, were indicative of, quote, militia, violence, extremism. also included on this is a text that i was particularly struck, is the gonzales battle flag. come and take it. as indicative of being a violent extremist militia. well i will self-report right now. that every day in the senate i wear my boots. that have the gonzales battle flag on the back of them. >> beyond the poll clutching from all boots, no cattle republicans like ted cruz, you can tell unnerved has been struck. republicans don't particularly like being lumped in with every extremist group and domestic terrorist. and, hey, welcome to my world. hey, conservatives, you might actually find some symphony from this muslim guy aft

texas senator ted cruz. all right so they don't want to admit the obvious that this is a recession another playing word games. we've more than doubled in one of more than doubled the number of irs agents that will mean more harassment for the american people. and look at that we see these massive increases on the middle class in this country they're paying the bulk of these new taxes i was trying to understand why joe manchin not only is going along with it but then lying about it when he talks about it on air. >> look sean it's a good question and joe rogan is right. the white house is really redefined recession. it is been two consecutive quarters of gdp shrinking. we have that right now so they just said never mind, words don't mean what they think. recession is hunky-dory great. joe biden economic boom. they do start counting on the corrupt corporate media to echo their lies. you look at this bill, the schumer mansion bill, it is a terrible bill. there is for consequences of this bill if it passes. 87,00

she was giving her victory speech and that was the night that ted cruz. be better or work and and that those results were playing in the background as she was giving her acceptance speech and she stopped her speech. and she was like we're gonna we're gonna turn texas in a generation. in this generation and when you watch what she the way she handled ted cruz during the failure of the electric grid last winter. when texans were freezing to death and ted cruz was going to to mexico on vacation with his family you all remember this. she didn't say anything directly to cruise. she merely raised. i don't know two million dollars five million dollars. i can't remember the number exactly just like a gigantic amount of money overnight. for texans who were freezing because there was no electricity and then she flew down to texas in the middle of the pandemic and gave out sandwiches and stuff. and you just think like the the images and the power that she was able to exert on this particular issue was so focused. and so aware of all of the optics what it was going t

while tucker embarrassed cruz with a chyron that said "cruzing for a bruising what on earth was ted cruzg?" first of all, you couldn't think of something better than that, "cruzing for a bruising" i mean, that's been done, my man. you got to do something like "you cruz, you lose" or "carnival cruz" or, i don't know, "clear eyes, full hearts, can't cruz." [ laughter ] these are just pitches it's brainstorming there are no bad ideas well, i guess going to cancun when your home state suffered a weather emergency, that's a bad idea that right there is a bad idea i guess if you really wanted to embarrass ted cruz, you could also just cut off the electricity to his house during a snowstorm and see which exotic tourist destination he flies to next "and now senator ted cruz joins us from the cinnabon in terminal 4 at jfk, where he's waiting for his connection to monte carlo. "i stand with the people of texas. oh, wait, hold on. they just called my group. i got to board." [ laughter ] aspiring republican politicians have to do to succeed -- please about the 2020 election, like former georgia sena

texas senator ted cruz is on judiciary committee.ainst this bill, and he joins me now with the very latest. senator, thanks very much for being here morning. >> well, good morning, maria. good to be with you. maria: can you tell the us about the amendments and the happenings right now in the senate? will bill pass? >> well, sure. we've been up all night, voting all night, i just ran other from the senate floor to join you for discussion, but the democrats to are on the verge of ramming through what really is a terrible bill. this bill will hammer manufacturing, it are kill manufacturing jobs in -- it will kill manufacturing jobs in this country. this bill will drive up gas prices. it has billions in new taxes on u.s. oil and gas production. we introduced amendments trying to take those new taxes out, so all the democrats say they're worried and want to lower gas prices, they all just voted to raise gas taxes and to raise your price at the pump. this bill creates 87,000 new irs agents. it doubles the size of the irs. those irs agents

the bill that ted cruz voted for on june 16th didn't change no matter what they say.matter of record, the delay has been long enough. it's been 15 years. we have lost friends along the way, and we refuse to lose any more. >> and i also think that the vote from wednesday did not represent the interests of the american people. i also don't really believe that it represented the interests of the senate. i think folks got up there, some information was thrown at them at the last minute, and they got confused and voted an opposite way than they normally would, and voted just one month before. >> you can check those claims, by the way, and i think it would be helpful. >> john: i've been talking with mia from the committee with the responsible budget, the most confusing thing ever when it comes to the argument over funding. mindy, finish off with you. chuck schumer said he's going to try to bring it to a vote again this week in the senate, but the house is out which means they cannot act on this until they come back from recess. >> they don't have to. >> john: what's going t

you don't hear anybody else, but him and ted cruz defendanting this.t romney isn't defending this and now it's worse and worse and more veterans are dying and you're hearing their personal stories and maybe that's a bit of a silver lining here is that we can tell everyone our stories and get more support beyond government support because we'll need it at the community level for decades and a generation to in. >> miles, when and where and how did this shift happen in the republican party that crossing our veterans became politically appealing to them? >> o, wow. i'd hate to give it such a finite point in time, but it was during the trump administration. i want to tell the viewers something here. there is a more insidious agenda behind what pat toomey and ted cruz are doing. they want to blow up veterans affairs and veterans benefits and that's something that was actively discussed during the trump administration and it's really what's at the core of this is they're trying to pretend it's just about spending provisions in general, but what they're worrie

ted cruz went and said, you know, i called the pentagon.ce now is ted cruz is trying to amp this up and say, the irs is coming after you specifically. the irs is part of a larger mob. and that's the difference now is those infowars ideas that used to exist exclusively on the extreme far right, the stuff on the end caps at the supermarket, that wasn't brought up in regular politics, that is the gop now. they ramp up the fear, they try to break down the law between two different ideas. for example, the fbi is, you know, is searching mar-a-lago and they're going to come after you with fbi agents. those two things coalesced into one big idea last week. it suits a narrative. they're coming after donald trump and eventually will come after you. >>> coming up, we'll be joined by the ukrainian ambassador to the united states. president zelenskyy says this latest strike is evidence of moscow terrorizing civilians. "morning joe" is coming right back. "morningoe j" is coming right back man 1: have you noticed the world is on fire? record heat waves? d

as lawmakers we can can either support law enforcement and condemn the threats or what ted cruz just did double down about lies of law enforcement and ensure there will be more threats. this is what cruz wants. headline this morning in terms of that story and a filing of, federal filing late yesterday in washington. feds cite efforts to obstruct probe of documents at trump estate with pictures allegedly from the search at mar-a-lago. the justice department they write, associated press, said classified documents were likely concealed and removed from former president donald trump's mar-a-lago estate as part of an effort to obstruct investigation into the discovery of government records. they also seized 33 boxes containing more than 100 classified records during its august 8 search of mar-a-lago and found classified documents stashed in trump's office. according to a filing that lays out the most detailed chronology today of months of strained interactions between justice department officials and trump representatives over the discovery of government secrets. our conversation with you

>> if ted cruz would step outside his carefully insulated bubble, he might end up talking to some ofth student loan debt really and as you say some are kids of modest backgrounds who end up going off to college although, joy, i've got to put a little plug in here. you know, harvard, 2% of the students have to borrow money. state schools, it's more than 50% of the kids have to borrow money to make it through and historically black colleges and universities, it's more than 80%. in other words, the more, the bigger and more diverse student body that you serve, the more are having to borrow money to make it through. >> that's right. >> here's the thing. that's just for the college portion of these kids. about 40% of all the folks who are dealing with student loan debt do not have a four-year college diploma. these are people who are barbers and nail technicians, people who are truck drivers, people who do sheet metal, people who have had to go to school, understand this, you know, generation back, the employer helped train them and get them through. >> right. >> but now these are folks t

until then, senators ted cruz and rick scott at cpac from earlier. >> good morning. sen.ruz: it's great to be here. what a great crowd. th

we are going to have senator ted cruz come up in a little bit. as anyone been a more consistent champion of fighting against the left every day from the senate? this is what we can get out of our leaders. this is what we can get if we get me in the united states senate, right? this race is the 51st seat. that is not a stretch. it is not an exaggeration. the u.s. senate will hinge on this right. senator masto is considered the most vulnerable senator in america. after eight years of being attorney general, i had to clean off to her once -- clean up after her once. after 13 years, she had nothing to show for nevada and it all the fights we have needed her, in just the last 12 months, did you hear her calling on general millie and austin to resign? if you call for accountability for the afghan disaster? as she called on people to stop going after our children, stop weaponizing the fbi? not a chance. just this sunday, she had a chance to stand with nevada, to break from this disastrous bill, $700 billion, more taxes on all of you. 87 thousand irs age

this whole group of pro-trump toadies is just so weird and loathsome, like texas senator ted cruz, for, who, i'm gonna go out on a limb here, wasn't invited to the orgy [ laughter ] "well, it's just frustrating, because we're always getting our dates mixed up." [ laughter ] cruz claimed the other day that a mysterious cabal is somehow controlling the biden administration, because he personally has not spoken to biden during his presidency. >> i actually get asked that almost every day somebody says, "who's really running things?" and let me tell you the scary thing, i have no idea. so biden's been president, what, 15 months? in that entire time, i have not spoken with him once >> seth: well, i guess that means he's at the orgies that you're not [ laughter ] but i do wonder why a person wouldn't want to speak to ted cruz it truly is a mystery. it's one of those age-old questions. why don't people like talking to ted cruz or why don't people like getting hit the nuts with a football [ laughter ] this is the modern republican party, a collection of fringe weirdoes who, by the way, will ve

senator ted cruz will always do the right thing.nations do not automatically last forever. writing about rome history -- a great civilization is not conquered without until it has destroyed itself within. think about the -- that. great civilizations were first followed out from life. we americans are the most loyal people on earth. we've been given a great heritage and we've taken it for granted. the founding fathers of our country are men like george washington, thomas jefferson, james madison. men who are considered to be evil racist according to top scholars in america's universities. these men are on a course for success that the world has never seen. we survived the civil war, world war one and two, korea, and the cold or and now we face today the greatest danger we've ever faced. the militant left-wing and our country has become the enemy from within. [applause] and you will say that is pretty dramatic. you call that the enemy from within. yes i am and here is life. let's do a situation were. the left has seized control of our

>> senator ted cruz tweets in january a gop congress should hold fauci fully accountable for his abuse of power and multiple lies under oath. never in our nation's history has one arrogant bureaucrat destroyed more people's lives. governor desantis who opened up his state earlier the fauci era will be felt for a long time after he is gone. >> he has advocated policies so destructive he thinks people that disagree with him are somehow beneath him. his policies were the driving force behind locking kids out of school in parts of this country for over a year. forcing them to wear masks for eight hours a day for two years. >> it's worth pointing out this announcement came while president biden is on vacation. the white house and fauci's team could have waited a couple days and had a ceremony at the white house where biden and fauci are standing side-by-side talking about their covid policies and all that they accomplished. but they didn't. it came out while president biden has no public events on his schedule. so far just that paper statement. >> dagen: thank you so much for that. peter do

i think it's always inappropriate, my friend ted cruz introduced a constitutional amendment that would block it in as 9 and i are supported. ted cruz is not a nickelback fan, someone accused of that years ago and ever since then i felt the need to defend him on that point. >> being a texan he has to be? >> exactly. i do think one of the things that could be on the chopping block in addition to row is the legal framework that has given this unfettered range of the federal administrative law system and so i suspect that could be part of it not just row, it is also their ongoing progress of commitment to the erosion of federalism and separation of powers, those two things, we deviated from both of them in lockstep, they both occurred together, that's why i pinpoint the deviation from federalism and the deviation from separation of powers, i trace it back to april 12th, 1937, because you can't deviate, 1937 because you can't deviate from one without deviating from the other and if you took steps to restore either one you would incrementally restore the other. i think that is part of the da

i imagine there's some veterans who would also like to bump ted cruz with their fists. this whole thing is outrageous. you know who is particularly outraged? my old buddy and leprechaun law partner, jon stewart. jon's been advocating for this veterans' healthcare bill for years, and almost saw it across the finish line, until republicans shanked it. he had words. >> so ain't this a (/ bleep/ )? ain't this a (/ bleep/ )? america's heroes, who fought in our wars, outside sweating their asses off, with oxygen, battling all kinds of ailments, while these mother(/ bleep/ )ers, sitn the air conditioning, walled off from any of it. if this is america first, then america is (/ bleep/ ). >> stephen: wow.

actually, endorsed by senator ted cruz clement doors to the trump family and i'm excited the race hasional attention but ted cruz came to the district last week for me to do a rally with me, this was a top issue that he was talking about. he said, "look everybody thought this was okay in texas. now mayors are speaking up in new york and d.c. oh, now you don't like it because it's in your city? what do you think have been dealing with in texas?" he was amazing on stage in this rally, it was great to hear it from him because it is true peer that is what is happening in new york now. this is no longer a texas issue. >> todd: it is a big day for you michelle bond we appreciate you kicking it off with a bright early time 4:30 seven in the morning. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> carley: an entire st. louis police captain david dorn slamming woke politics and activist. her husband shot and killed during the 2020 riots trying to stop a suspect from breaking into a pawn shop. his of 20 years, and/or in speaking out in an op-ed writing "the same year david was killed a doze

that's why i support my friend ted cruz has introduced a constitutional amendment that would lock in in at 9:00 and like wholeheartedly support it. ted cruz, by the way, not a nickelback fan somebody unfairly accused him of that a few years ago and ever since then i felt the need to defend him on that point but being a texan he has to be a buddy holly exactly exactly. i do think that one of the things that could be on the chopping block. in addition to row is the legal framework that has given this unfettered rain to the federal administrative system the administrative law system. and so i i suspect that could be part of it. it's not just row. it's also it's also their ongoing progressive commitment to the erosion of both federalism and separation of powers. and by the way those deviated from in lockstep they both occurred together. that's why i pinpoint the deviation from federalism and the deviation from separation of powers. i trace it all back to april 12 1937 because you can't deviate from one without deviating from the other and if you took steps to restore either one you would

and another republican has been very critical of president biden. senator ted cruz from texas saying all americans will breathe easier knowing that i'm and also worry the leader of al qaeda has been eliminated. now, there has been some criticism from republicans, particularly on the right end of the party spectrum, saying that this is president biden, taking a victory lap unnecessarily, but mostly where he left the voices here in the us. very supportive of the president and this counter terrorism operation. and to be all of this comes one year off to the united states pulled out of afghanistan. what does this told us about? how involved the u. s. is when it comes to afghan sovereign soil. yeah, it is a really interesting question and you know, i think we have to listen to what president joe biden said in his address on monday that the killing of his leader brings one more measure of closure to families of the victims of september 11th. and he went on to say that the u. s. will not allow afghanistan to become a terrorist safe haven saying, we're going to quote, make sure nothing else

ted cruz and i disagree on many, many things to be sure.e and i are both on the commerce committee of the senate and as it turns out he had something that he wanted to get done that i also wanted to get done in the night we passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill we had to do it as an amendment we cannot do as committee. he made his argument for why hep thought this should happen and i stood up and made my argument and i heard my folks say words i never thought i heard my cell say something along the lines i agree with the senator from texas. the chamber burst out in the past overwhelmingly. twitter began to fire up. folks on my side and i suspect his side. my staff was showing me what was going on on twitter. folks were asking what is the cruz warnock amendment. it's very, very simple. i 14th and interstate he wants to see built out in texas and t name the priority quarter so we can get the resources to build it out. the interstate that runs through texas also runs through georgia. absolutely it connects blue and red communities. chocola

you had your senators like that idiot ted cruz from texas, that plays everything from every angle for his own political gains. this bill should be passed immediately. there is nothing more important than taking care of our veterans. they are being screwed from vietnam on words. like i said, this bill needs to be passed immediately. the veterans need to be taken care of. if we can't take care of them, that says a lot about the kind of people we are. host: ronnie, i want to get your reaction, this is from a magazine, "the pact act would create a service presumption for 23 conditions, including several types of cancer, leukemia, bronchitis, for veterans who were stationed in 17 countries during particular times, including iraq during the gulf war's, and afghanistan after 9/11. . the secretary of veterans affairs would have power to add more conditions in countries that would qualify. the bill would stop veteran from having to prove that those conditions were linked to their service for getting treatment for them. there is a pretty extensive eligibility criteria. someone who served in ira

when you look at somebody like josh hawley or somebody like ted cruz, both of whom know better.nal obligations with respect to presidential elections. and yet, both of whom took steps that fundamentally threatened the constitutional order and structure in the aftermath of the last election. in my view, they both have made themselves unfit for future office. >> so renee, it's not just about the trump piece. it's not just about the mccarthy being unfit. she is really sort of broadening the aim of her efforts to sort of cleanse democracy of this kind of politics. what's your take on where you think liz is going with this? i guess more importantly, how successful do you think she will be -- are there democrats who are willing to act can to work with her in that regard? >> michael, perhaps slowly but surely, what is cheney's finally recognized with a lot of us always knew. and that's that the extremism of the republican party did not begin on january 6th, 2021. this has been a long-standing problem with the republican party. analysts cheney was part of that. for four, years don trump

hired heavy right-wing consulting firms, firms that worked on huge campaigns for candidates like ted cruznn youngkin, and turned those local nonpartisan races incredibly partisan. the pact sent thousands of fliers like this one, falsely claiming that politics and critical race theory have led to a recent school shooting in texas. all in all, this political action committee handpicked 11 candidates supercharged their campaigns with tons of cash,, and it has successfully won majorities on all four of the fort worth suburban school boards that they targeted. that means more than 100,000 students now go to schools controlled by people elected by this weird conservative cell phone company. that is why the keller school district decided to pull the books from the shelf. and that's why they're forcing kids to prove their biological gender to use the bathroom. money and politics is not a new thing, but this kind of money in teeny tiny traditionally nonpartisan local races, that is new, and it is all being supercharged by big players in national conservative politics. >> you can give your money to

in fact, when ted cruz didn't obey the party line about january 6th, he said it was a domestic terroristfox news and berated him and humiliated them publicly. so it's incredible the speed at which this is going on. liz cheney, she said just two years ago she won with 73%. what's happened since then is the big lie has become literally the party line. so the gop has a party line like an authoritarian party. and everybody can now be a mini trump and have their own big lie. their little lie. so that's very appealing. and so you have conservatives out and you have extremists coming in. including people who are members of the proud boys or the oath keepers. they are the politicians now. so all of this is why older school politicians of the gop, ted cruz or lindsey graham, they are not saying those things anymore. >> take a listen to liz cheney here last night. >> no house seat, no office in this land is more important than the principles that we are all sworn to protect. >> i will do whatever it takes to ensure donald trump is never again anywhere near the oval office, and i mean it. >> i love

imagine ted cruz's kids. they have to suffer the consequences of having ted cruz as a father.roll with it with engagement, compassion. bernadine: luckily, bill was a long-term early childhood educator and have the confidence to do this. i'm not sure without him i would have even thought about it. we made a family. both malik dohrn, six months older than chesa, we have some pictures of them holding hands and building blocks, and then zayd became his protector. helped him in school, reading, friendships, making friends with people. chesa would have gotten there anyway, wherever he was, but in our family that is how it worked. it was wonderful to have the surprise family of three boys that i never expected. amy: finally, zayd, what it was like to do this podcast, this audio storytelling, which won best podcast at the tribeca film festival, especially at the time --j edgar hoover called her the most dangerous woman in america -- to talk about these public figures that you know so intimately as mom and dad? zayd: that was a big part of why i wanted to do this. i have known them ver

ted cruz.ed cruz, everything is bigger in texas except your sad, soggy penis. [ laughter ] ted's put on a few pounds over the last few years, but honestly, that's what happens when you're constantly eating trump's ass. [ laughter and applause ] and finally, marjorie taylor greene is proof that the left and the right really can come together. just look at her eyes. [ moans ] i appreciate this woman. now i know what it would look like if i had a daughter with mickey rourke. [ moans and applause ] marjorie, of course, is anti-abortion and sadly, so was her mom. [ laughter ] am i going too hard on poor marjorie? marjorie, she's had a rough pwe. she actually -- i know, marjorie, you got swatted twice this week, which is so terrifying, and i'm so sorry it happened to you. but let me just say, it couldn't have happened to a dumber bitch. [ laughter and applause ] and that was "nikki's speed roast." [ cheers and applause ] that was so fun. ridiculous things are happening all over the world, not just in

we will hear from ted cruz of texas who criticized president biden's handling of u.s. foreign policy and the economy. following those remarks we will hear from nebraska governor. [applause] >> good to see you. ♪ [applause] >> god bless the great state of nevada. [applause] i was at the very first path rise seven years ago, standing here as men and women who love freedom. stood up and vote to take our country back. i'm here today, seven years later with a word of hope, a word of encouragement, a word of exhortation. i got two super points to make today. number one, america is in crisis. we all know this. we have a president of the united states who shakes hands with the empty air. what the hell is that? we have a president of the united states who talks to the easter bunny. and what's happening in washington, it has never been this bad. you've got biden and harris and schumer and pelosi, and they have gone to crazy town. every policy they put in place is an absolute disaster. it's actually remarkable that they managed to get everything wrong. if they rolled dice, if the
