National treasure,
what can the country due to
protect every child and restore
order
joining us now is Texas,
Senator TED Cruz
senator? I never thought I would
be reporting things like this. In
my life,
I cant believe we are having
this discussion
now universal Agreement on
George Floyd
that never can happen again
universal agreement.
You know I do martial arts,
Joe Calleds, and giving police ot
nonlethal alternatives
im in favor of all that
improving it takes more money,
not less
training takes more money and
more of a commitment, not less,
but I dont see any good coming
out of any of these movements.
I just see basically and
get out of jail free card like
the no bail zone, which is all
New York state thanks to
Governor Cuomo.
Unfortunately, the Democrats
have released the crazies in
their party and they are going
nuts
the violence. We are seeing the
rioting we are seeing.
You know you will remember a
couple weeks ago, when Chris
Cuomo on CNN asked on air said:
where did it say that protesting
has to be peaceful?
More than a few people took some
joy in pointing out? Well, you
dont have to look any further
than the first amendment to the
constitution and the
bill of rights where it
protects the right of the people
to peaceably assemble
peaceably its right there in
the constitution.
You- and I- and everyone well-
have a right to speak, to stand
up and say whatever your views
are, whether you are right or
wrong.
You have a right to speak,
but what you dont have a right
to do is commit violence.
You dont have a right to
assault people.
You dont have a right to burn.
You. Dont have a right to
firebomb churches or police
cars.
You dont have a right to murder,
police officers or to murder
teenage boys, as happened in
Seattle.
We are seeing violent rioters.
Antifa is behind much of it and
they are domestic terrorists
than we need law enforcement to
stand together to stop this
terrorism, to enforce the rule
of law and protect american
citizens,
its the fundamental
role of government senator.
This is not hard.
I know you went to Harvard
you. Dont need to go to Harvard
LAW, be one of professor
dershowitzs best students.
He said that himself,
I look at this and I see every
two and four years I always talk
about. The playbook of the
Democratic Party.
Republicans are racist, sexist
homophobic, xenophobic,
Islamaphobic, misogynist, dirty,
air and water, and they want to
kill children know they want to
throw granny over a cliff.
Okay,
all of the cities with the worst
crime statistics, most violence,
worst schools. They seem to be
the cities that have been run
for decades by liberal
Democrats.
Is this a preview of coming
attractions?
Is it part of the national
debate, as we now are, one hundred and twenty five days
away from a presidential
election?
Well, the Democratic Party is
afflicted with Trump derangement
syndrome.
They hate the president so much
that they are allowing the
crazies
imagine if, thirty days ago, Sean
ive come on your show, and I
wouldve said you know the
Democrats are going to come out
for abolishing the police.
You wouldve said: look thats a
little much
lets not get crazy about it
and thats exactly what theyre
doing
Nypd cutting a billion dollars
from their police department.
A AOC says its not enough
the consequence of their
attacking demonizing defunding,
the police. The consequence will
be a lot more, black labs will be
lost and a lot more white lives
and hispanic lives.
You pull the police back and
those especially those who live
in low income neighborhoods are
going to find themselves victims
of much more violent crime.
This is wrong.
I will tell you I stand with
the Nypd.
I stand with the men and women
of law enforcement across this
country and ive got to say you
know. I have talked to a lot of
cops in the last several weeks
and they are there. They are
down. They are demoralized,
seeing senior officers leaving
the force
young people. What young person
in his right mind would say im
going to be a cop,
you know whats good for
America,
people are scared to be a police
officer and keep us safe
by the far left is doing they
hate America.
This is not about social
justice,
its not about equality.
Everyone of us agrees that
everyones right should be
protected regardless of race
thats. What the constitution and
the bill of rights do
you look at the steering
monuments down? They are trying
to tear down George Washington
and Thomas Jefferson,
it aint about the confederacy
last I checked
George Washington wasnt part of
the civil war.
They hate America and we need
leaders Sean to stand up and
defend America unapologetically
as the greatest nation in the
history of the world dedicated
to equal justice.
I was so critical of
the one percent, but I always went out of
my way to remind people the ninety nine percent
in the FBI or intelligence
community. They are good people,
ninety nine percent of police that protect and
serve and put their lives on the
line.
The nine slash, eleven cops, the cops that
were walked across an open
baseball field sitting ducks to
protect congressman, Scalise and.
