here now with reaction texas senator ted cruz. senator you were one of the few out there warning, seeing the evidence that was coming in, that this, in fact, came out of this lab, it made sense from the beginning and they lied about it, they covered it up. >> well, sean, that's exactly right. as i sit here and listen to those folks on tv and read those headlines, it makes me angry. because they're lying. they're deliberately lying. they knew they were lying. they are repeating the talking points of the chinese communist government. democratic politicians were doing that and the corporate media was doing that. it has been evident, the overwhelming weight of the evidence for over two users now has been that this virus escaped from a chinese government lab. and this weekend we now have the bombshell report that not one but two agencies in the biden administration concludeded that the coronavirus came, the covid-19 virus came from a chinese government lab. number one, the biden fbi has concluded that and, number two, this weekend, we

i mentioned ted cruz -- his faux outrage over fcc news suggesting fox might be pushing state propaganda -- david yearn expert, on the media, on fox. is there any equivalent to fox. key think of another example of another media organization? in the u.s. or brother has this kind of relationship with the governing party at the time? with the president. with one of our major political parties? people like sean hannity speaking on the phone regularly to donald trump after a show. he was dubbed the shadow chief of staff. donald trump, according -- trying to dial into lou dobbs's show. i can't think of an analogy was in other media organization. >> people at fox would actually point to your final and say, msnbc is the equivalent. i don't see it that way. i think msnbc -- you have liberal viewpoints -- >> david. i won't be getting off air tonight and ringing the white house for a chat. i can assure you. >> that's exactly right. it seems to me the corporate ownership of msnbc has embraced this as a successful business play for them. not as partisan effort over and expression of ideological desir

we want to go to dallas, texas, where we are joined by republican senator ted cruz.ood morning to you, senator. >> good morning, margaret. >> this balloon traversed 11 states, but the pentagon says they were able to mitigate some of its impact. do you think there is an upside to the fact that this was captured this time? >> well, listen, i want to start by doing something that i don't do very often, which is commending joe biden for actually having the guts to shoot this down. that was the right thing to do. that is absolutely what president should have done. unfortunately, he didn't do that until a week after it entered u.s. air space. he allowed a full week for the chinese to conduct spying operations over the united states, over sensitive military installations exposing not just photographs but the potential of intercepted communications, and more broadly, i think this entire episode telegraphed weakness to xi and the chinese government. to illustrate why, i would just ask one hypothetical question, imagine how this would have played out if nobody had taken any pi

thanks so much for being with us. >> hey, jim. >> alice, today we heard from senator ted cruz.biden over his handling of the chinese spy balloon. republican senator j.d. vance slammed him on twitter for a dereliction of duty or worse for not shooting down the balloon. i think he had an earlier tweet that showed him holding a firearm in his lap suggesting it could maybe be shot down even though that could never happen. speaker kevin mccarthy tweeting, first president biden refused to defend our borders, now he won't defend our skies. marjorie taylor greene had a tweet of her own. are they in danger of maybe being full of hot air themselves? i mean, you know, what do you think? >> look, i agree that it was the right thing to do to take down this chinese spy drone. but it was too little, too late. and we're seeing choruses of republicans and people across this country saying that it should not have gotten to this point. and as our colleague, david urban, said this morning, what we saw was, in essence, china giving the middle finger the size of three school buses to america all the

texas senator ted cruz. senator, i guess the obvious question is why? why is there a double standard? why would you let joe biden go to a house you know you have to search? why wouldn't the search have taken first? >> unfortunately double standard throughout biden presidency. biden department of justice, most political department of justice we have ever seen. when it comes to donald trump it is political. they want to take him down. when it comes to joe biden they are protecting him. we know he was raided in november. yet the fbi kept it a secret. leak like a sieve when it concerns donald trump. when it concerns joe biden, they keep it a secret. at this point, is there a place he doesn't leave documents? he leaves a cash of classified documents. this is something i discussed in depth on my podcast "verdict" " there is a special prosecutor appointed by the attorney general. there is a way to know whether that special prosecutor is trying to follow the law. in poker, you have a signal that shows what you are doing. if the special prosecutor following the

i do a podcast every week called verdict with ted cruz.in 2020 the i laid out these facts in the spring of 2020. today's podcast on the verdict podcast i do a deep dive of all of the evidence that was present if three years ago and is present now. elizabeth: yeah. >> and repeatedly, the media outlets that denied it and covered up for the chinese communist government. elizabeth: you know, how can the media and even dr. fauci attack this as conspiracy theory from the get go, at the start of the pandemic? >> yep. elizabeth: how could they be so definitive about it when nobody knew? why not investigate the evidence? dr. fauci first called this lab leak theory, quote, a shiny object that will go away. but then he testifies in a lawsuit brought by missouri and louisiana that he dismissed the lab leak to placate china out of fear it would, quote, increase tensions with china. >> well, dr. fauci's behavior on this has been abominable. i think he has done more damage than any bureaucrat in the history of the united states. he has championed policie

there are a number of other people who could run, ted cruz could run, and people -- it's a free country. lots of people get to come and play. but if you had to say them today, the most likely nominee, clearly, is donald j. trump. >> you endorsed trump in may of 2016. do you plan on endorsing trump again? >> look, i am very close to president trump. calista's very close to him. we've been friends for many, many years. my expectation would be that i would help him every way i could, but i'm not right now in the endorsement business. i'm happily chatting with you, i'm writing a new book which will come out in june called march to the majority which is about how we actually created the majority in 1994 and the lessons we learned negotiating with bill clinton. so, you know with, that's a good ways off, but i certainly talk the with the president regularly, regularly advise his team. and i think he's very formidable. if you look at the kind of situation we were in economically and in other ways prior to his leaving office and you look at the mess we're in now, you make a pretty good case that

now, texas senator ted cruz sent a letter to social media companies, media, google, google twitter, ticktock launching an oversight investigation into the reported use of blacklisting content from users, including many, mostlyna even conservatives in his letter. senator cruz emphasizecrd that these methods have a major impact on the , quote, reach of content and accounts and by extension, speech. >> anyway, senator cruz is with li now. would you maybe put twitter in a little bit different category now? because it looks like elon muskt is trying to clean it up and exposingwhat has what had gy on prior to him, you know, investing all this money in that company. so absolutely. elon musk's buying twitter is a dome changer because he's done something that the bigne techppw oligarchs never thought would happen, which is he's got anhien open kimono, he's exposedas exp the corruption, he's exposed the censorship, he's exposedosh the collusion with democrats in congress, the collusion with the biden white house, the collusion with the deep state at the fbi and the cia and the doj. din thi you know, i

one, concept ted cruz is you can taking about, primary before the primary and reality of the situation, she hasn't done anything to earn accolades or kudos. >> ashley: democrats and cruz summed it up, look at her as being in the way. she's second in command right now, one of those you waltz in situations. kamala harris is just a wash as vp, i can't think of anything other than giving billion dollars to central america when the border is wide open and cartel is filtrating the united states and we have a fentanyl problem and crime crisis and illegal migrant crisis, a lot of things she could be helping with. she is the border czar and she is yelling at congress saying they are not giving funds to secure it. then why isn't she making them do this. she needs to go to the border. she went to texas at some points, she went to talk about reproductive issues, she could have made a flight to a border city, i'm here and looking at it and assessing the situation, let's get something done. she did not do that. >> todd: two things stood out, the phrase lost hope is different than we wish she could b

senator ted cruz , thank you. >> we appreciate your time.si ness aall right. time now for the hannitythos hot seat. apparently, our good friend geraldo rivera believes that biden's classified document scandal is much ado about nothing. >> take a look. this is the libraria>>n scolding the people who kept the books overdue. it has nothing to doappare with anything in american life. not one family watching this today is affected one iota. thby this phony scandal. okay, no big deal , according to geraldo. but meanwhile, his liberal friends in the media mob, bye democratic party obsessed over the russia collusion hoax for six long years. phonand counting. but now at least some of the left, they're coming to their senses now. the far left columbia journalism review. this is fascinating. they just published what is ahe scathing retrospective ofenses. the media's russia gate hysteria, even singling out by name the new york times for its conspiratorial coverage. they have given us props for being right the whole time. but why would i expect suc a thing from them anyway

he knows about grids collapse, remember ted cruz had to leave to mexico because it was so damn cold,y shannon show. it is gary hoffman and we have radio host, also a callan, lesley marshall and the cofounder of base the politics, brad polumbo. gary, stat start with you, there is not enough power to supply the electrical needs that california has now, how will they keep it from getting worse and more expensive? >> by requiring everyone to drive an electric car. i have no idea how that math works, full disclosure, i drive an le electric car, they are using the stick right now, carrots are out there gas at one point was $6.50, i saved money fueling my car with unicorn farts. but i'm in the -- they are being di disingenuous. gavin newsom may love electric vehicles, they are quiet, they are neat, they are fast and stop on a dream, they don't produce a lot of pollution, when you drive them. but how we produce our electricity in california, 50% during the summertime, 50% is from burning fossil fuel. to suggest that somehow electric vehicles are the complete answer to this, that is a mistake

you've got ted cruz, a republican, saying mental health is real and serious.gets the care he needs. senator schumer the democratic leader, to hear john fetterman is getting the help that he needs and deserves, tillis, we should all take mental health seriously and amy klobuchar seeing him take the time and the care that he needs will help so many others that are battling depression. and it will. it is hard to do this when you're a private person. it is harder when you are a public one. >> at the level he is operating at to be open and transparent about why he is now at walter reed really does send a message. stigma is one of the hardest things to overcome when you're talking about mental illness. so perhaps this will help with that. we have had members of congress talk about mental illness in the past particularly patrick kennedy comes to mind, congressman from rhode island made that a huge push when he was in congress. and so hopefully for all of those out there struggling this will help chip away at that stigma by having a united states senator say that he i

ted cruz was warning not to go too far. here is cruz. >> i could understand the appeal of saying that every airline must have only first class seats and a free foot massage with every flight, and that would make flying quite comfortable but it would also predictably drive up the cost. >> sandra: fair warning? >> i'm all in for free foot massages on my flights. cruz is right. an opportunity for the democrats to say we want to regulate and more regulation for airline travel. the airlines are a critical infrastructure so congress has a role to look at what happened when southwest fails but markets work, you believe in markets, and so when southwest can't deliver you from newark to dallas. >> sandra: somebody else will. >> somebody else will and they will lose market share, so the government does not need to step in and fix the infrastructure of southwest, the customers will do that, and so -- but i do think making sure airlines actually can function for the american people, that does matter and that's the role of congress, but

texas senator ted cruz said, let the market fix the problem. the question of whether southwest is efficiently making things right will ultimately be answered by the flying public. it will be answered by customers choosing whether or not to book a flight on southwest. >> southwest that it is daunting 1.3 billion in new technology. the airline said it had far fewer tools, weatherproof equipment, then it needed in its key locations of denver and chicago where a full one quarter of its pilots and crews originate from. so, a weather crisis turned into a staffing crisis. you will hear from southwest chief operating officer and then a pilot from their union. >> why did this happen? >> let me be clear, we messed up. i would like to explain to you how we messed up. we had crews that were on the phone, 17 hours, trying to get a hold of someone. many of our front-line employees went above and beyond and were able to cobble together a crew, an airplane, get passengers. and they did that on their own. >> southwest said some of their computer fixes are going

might be the ted cruz voters from last time turn to someone like a ron desantis possibly, and you knowan getting people to a primary, getting people out on a cold night in iowa. it's not the core donald trump base. the core donald trump base is the working class voters. and that's why he's going there. i think if you're donald trump and your running this campaign, trying to think about a strategy, you have to think about, man, do we down play iowa, do we focus more on the new hampshire and south carolina and some of these upper midwest states and trump on tuesday. that's how donald trump won last time by bringing new people in. bringing working class in. not your traditional republican activist types who might be a little more attuned to a more traditional candidate, you know, like one of the other ones in the race. i think that iowa is a big conundrum for him right now. i think that's why you see him going to east palestine, and iowa is more of a wait and see type game. >> tim miller, yamiche alcindor, thank you very much. >>> 50 years in the making, how love of the ski slopes is help
