Must regain the majority in the Senate 2024.

0:00 Speaker 1 With us today is Senator Ted Cruz. Senator Cruz, there’s so many issues going on. Where do you want to start today?

0:07 Speaker 2 Well, John, my friend, it’s good to be with you. And thank you for being a voice of reason and insanity in a time when the world has lost his way. And thank you for speaking up in particular in the Big Apple, which is a tough place for common sense sometimes.

0:23 And so I appreciate you each and every day. I got to say right now, I am more and more angry each and every day at the politicization and the weaponization of our justice department. We are seeing two standards of justice, one for the enemies of the White House, and we saw just this week indictment number four. Although

0:45 it’s hard to keep track of how many times they’re going to use the legal system to go after Donald Trump. It is nakedly political. It’s an abuse of power. And at the same time, we see the Biden Justice Department actively covering up and doing everything they can to protect Hunter Biden and protect Joe Biden from any consequences of

1:04 their misconduct. And it’s infuriating and deeply harmful to the rule of law in our country.

1:10 Speaker 1 Now, I don’t understand Senator why it doesn’t make any common sense. First of all, all the networks are reporting Georgia, but it’s not Georgia. It’s a small county in Georgia. Yeah. Yeah, it’s like you know, the joke I told them my show to the other day was it’s like Mayberry and Andy Griffith was going after the President of the

1:35 United States and his lawyers.

1:38 Speaker 2 Look, that’s exactly right. You have an elected Democrat in a very democratic county, a county that votes seventy five twenty five against Donald Trump, and she has brought an incredibly partisan indictment. She’s indicted nineteen people. She’s indicted Donald Trump, She’s indicted a whole bunch of his lawyers, and if you read through the indictment, much of the indictment is

2:04 going after him for public statements Donald Trump made and for tweets he made. We don’t live in a country where sending a tweet is a criminal offense. And she’s indicted his lawyers for providing legal advice and representing their clients.

2:21 This is madness. And the important thing to understand this is not actually about criminal justice. This is not about enforcing the law. This is politicizing, and this is weaponizing the justice system, and it is making criminal people expressing political views and exercising their First Amendment right. It’s an absolute abuse of power, but it is designed for one

2:48 specific purpose, and the purpose is not law enforcement. It is to interfere with the election coming up next year. We’ve gone over two hundred years of our nation’s history prior to this year. There has never been a single President of the United States indicted. There’s never been a former president of the United States indicted. There’s never been

3:07 a leading candidate for president of the United States indicted. We have seen that happen in the last year, not once, not twice, not three times, but four times. And it is because Democrats, both state officials like the DA Alvin Bragg in New York, or like this DA in Georgia, or federal officials like the Biden Justice Department, are deeply politicized.

3:30 They hate Donald Trump. And here’s the rubb abut, they don’t trust the voters. These indictments reflect a contempt for democracy. Here’s what I believe those Democrat das think. They think Number one, every time they indict Donald Trump, his numbers go up in the Republican primary, and they want Donald Trump to be the nominee because the Democrats believe Trump

3:53 is the easiest candidate to beat. But number two, what they want, they’re desperate desire, is to have one trial, or from their perspective, ideally two or three or four trials, all playing out in September and October of next year, so that the news is dominated by attacks directed at Donald Trump. They want the next election to be entirely

4:15 about their hatred for Trump. What they don’t want to defend is the disastrous record of Joe Biden and the Democrats. They don’t want to defend out of control inflation, out of control prime, chaos of the southern border, disasters overseas, Our enemies getting stronger, are our friends pulling away from us.

4:33 They cannot defend Biden’s record, and so they want to make the election entirely about their hatred for Trump. And it reflects fundamentally a contempt for democracy by today’s Democrats.

4:47 Speaker 1 Now, and nobody in the Democratic Party, not the White House, not the President, not the Senate, any any of the Senate leaders, or any of the it is in the Congress are saying, you know, this is wrong is anybody in the Democratic Party standing up saying that this is wrong.

5:10 Speaker 2 I’m not aware of a single elected Democrat with the courage to speak out against it. Every one of them hates Donald Trump so much that they’re thrilled. They’re thrilled with this incredible abuse of power. And at the same time, John I got to say, the timing of each of these indictments is incredibly suspect. Every day, more and more

5:32 evidence comes out of serious criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and far more importantly by Joe Biden. As you know, I do a podcast every week, three days a week. It’s called Verdict with Ted Cruz. I do it Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And on the podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz, we do a deep dive into what’s actually happening. And

5:52 so we’ve analyzed in detail the evidence against Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, in particular the evidence that Joe Biden solicited and received millions of dollars of bribes from foreign nationals. The evidence has now come out that while Joe Biden was Vice president, the extended Biden family and his business associates received over twenty million dollars from foreign nationals from Ukraine,

6:24 from Russia and Kazakhstan over twenty million dollars while Joe Biden is the sitting vice president. In a few months after he left the vice presidency, his family and associates received an additional eight million dollars from the Chinese Communists.

6:40 So that’s twenty eight million dollars from China, Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Now, John, look, you’re a very successful businessman, but people don’t pay someone like Hunter Biden twenty eight million dollars just because he’s fun to have at a party and he uses up all the cocaine. They hey him because he’s delivering something that they want. And the

7:05 allegations that the FBI recorded, the allegations from a confidential human source and a report they call the FD ten twenty three. The allegations in that FD ten twenty three are that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden both solicited and received millions of dollars of bribes in exchange for official favors from Joe Biden when he was vice president. Now,

7:28 if that’s the case, then Joe Biden is guilty of bribery.

7:33 Speaker 1 And understood that is true.

7:36 Speaker 2 Biden should be impeached. He should be removed from office, he should be prosecuted, and he should go to jail. There’s a reason. Let’s talk about specidvised bribery.

7:46 Speaker 1 Let’s talk about Tony General Garland and the pointing the Maryland, the Delaware of Attorney General as what he did last week.

7:59 Speaker 2 Yeah, well, John, it’s disgraceful. Merrick Garland named David Weiss, who is the US Attorney for Delaware, to be the special counsel investigating Hunter Biden. It’s important to understand why he did that. He did that to cover up and protect Hunter Biden, and the cover up and protect Joe Biden.

8:18 At this point, the allegations that have come out, We’ve had two senior IRS career officials come forward as whistleblowers and allege that Merrick Garland lied to Congress under oath. In fact, he lied in response to my questioning about this investigation. Lying under oath to Congress is a felony punishable by serious prison time. They also alleged that he

8:46 and underlings, including potentially David Weiss, committed obstruction of justice, that they gave Hunter Biden and his legal team a heads up. They tipped him off. Before Biden was investigated. They gave him a heads up and tipped him off before search warrants were executed with Gabe, which gave him the opportunity to destroy evidence, and that they prohibited the

9:08 investigation from inquiring in any way, shape or form to criminality, corruption or bribery from Joe Biden. They made that off limits. No questions about the big guy, no questions about Joe Biden. And so when Merrick Garland appoints David Weiss to be special counsel, what he’s saying is, I want the guy who is in the middle of this cover up, who’s

9:30 been alleged to be actively obstructing justice, I want him in charge of this investigation to ensure that nothing goes back on Joe Biden. It’s an absolute abuse of power. It’s also illegal, and I discussed this in my podcast Verdict Why it is illegal. The Department of Justice rules require that a special Council be from outside the Justice Department,

9:52 but Merrick Garland didn’t want an actual, objective and fair prosecutor. He wanted someone he knew would be compliant in protecting Joe Biden and the Biden White House.

10:01 Speaker 1 Does the Italian General, Have you a believe you tie up the Senate’s hands when he has lied? David Weiss lied to the Senate.

10:14 Speaker 2 He should not. Now they’re going to try, but to be honest, DOJ is trying ANYWAYDOJ is trying to actively prevent Congress from an investigating and engaging in oversightj The FBI is stonewalling. The FBI refuses to answer questions from Congress, refuses to answer any questions. I’ve questioned directly the director of the FBI, the deputy director of the FBI, what

10:41 investigations that did they do about the allegations that Joe Biden solicited and received millions of dollars of bribes? They refuse to answer. Did they interview and did they follow up on the FD ten twenty three? They refuse to answer the FD ten twenty three alleges. There are seventeen telephone recordings of conversations between the Ukrainian oligarch who was

11:03 bribing Joe Biden and the Biden fifteen of them with Hunter Biden, two of them with Joe Biden himself. I asked the FBI do these seventeen recordings exist? They refuse to answer. Do you have those seventeen recording. They refuse to answer. Will you give them the Congress? They refuse to answer. We are seeing the Biden Department of Justice

11:22 and the Biden FBI stonewall consistently to protect Joe Biden, and it is incredibly harmful. Sadly, Merrick Garland is the most partisan and political Attorney general our country has ever had.

11:37 Speaker 1 Senator. Thank you for coming on, and I pray for a country because the rule of law has to prevail, and right now it doesn’t look like it’s prevailing. And look forward to our next conversation.
