Speaker 1 (00:00):
There are more than two hundred left wing groups behind
these No Kings rallies this weekend. They deliberately are blind
to what each of the others are doing. That's part
of how they avoid accountability. RICO is designed for precisely
that sort of criminal enterprise. And so I believe the
Senate we ought to take up and vote on and
(00:21):
pass our stop Funders legislation. And I've urged both Pam
Bondi at DOJ and Cash Bettell at FBI follow the
money and prosecute those who are writing checks funding acts
of violence, political violence, or otherwise across the country.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And Senator Ted Cruz joins your host Ryan Schuling. You're
on KOA, Senator, thank you for your.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Time, Brian, good to be with you. Thanks for having me. Now.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The timing of these No Kings rallies throughout the country
is humorous to me in the wake of what President
Trump just accomplished in the Middle East. Do you see
that irony as well? And what are the implying that
Donald Trump is a king?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, Unfortunately, the left in today's Democrat Party has devolved
into just really a party of anger and hate for
Donald Trump. I mean that's the one unifying principle. It's
the reason we have a government shut down right now
is they're all trying to demonstrate to the radical left
how much they hate Donald J. Trump. And these protests
(01:21):
are are organized. And you know the point you just
played that clip from last night, But the point that
I was making, these protests are not organic. They're not
just springing up magically. There is real money behind these
and this has been a pattern that has extended for
a number of years. You go back to the Antifa
and the Black Lives Matter riots all across the country,
(01:43):
where we saw American cities burning, we saw police cars
being firebomb we saw people being murdered. You go back
to the anti Semitic riots on college campuses, You go
back to the pro open borders and pro illegal immigration
riots in Los Angeles and other cities. All of those
were funded. I'm not the only person who noticed on
(02:06):
the anti Semitic college campus protests that the tents all match,
that that that there's clearly money, significant money that is flowing.
And the same is true for these these so called
No Kings rallies. That that that you have the George
Soros networks, and you have others that that are funding this,
(02:27):
and I believe the way to stop this organized left
wing violence it is not just prosecute the the individual
to commit the violence, but go after and prosecute the
people writing the checks and paying for for for what
is in effect domestic terrorism. If you're threatening violence and
(02:48):
doing so for a political agenda, that is unacceptable, and
if you're paying people to do that, that is a
criminal act.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
One of those No King's rallies coming here to Denver
this Saturday, and Senator Cruz implying that there might be
reco predicates in the form of the funding for those
so called rallies that I agree with the Senator. They
are far from organic and just spontaneous. Senator Ted Cruz
our guest reminder you can catch his daily podcast on
the iHeartRadio app entitled Verdict with Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson
(03:17):
also a part of that, and we want to make
sure that you are aware that you can subscribe, download
and listen to that podcast. Senator Cruz a town hall
last night on CNN. Caitlin Collins was the moderator. Senator
Bernie Sanders and AOC A big part of that. Senator
Sanders didn't know what he was in for with this questionnaire, though,
how do you.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Think this shut down reflex on Chuck Schumer's leadership?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, I think it reflects more on Mike Johnson's leadership
and President Trump's leadership.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
This is a.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Leadership which said it's okay to give a trip. Well,
how do you feel you tell me think it's a
good idea to give a trillion dollars and talks breaks
to the richest people in the country and then make
massive the health jeff for working class people.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I think Chuck Chumer has voted for continuing resolutions thirteen
times in the last four years, and he has the
opportunity to vote for one again, but he's refusing to
come to the dable.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I think, look, oh, talk about your all time backfires.
Senator Schumer is trying to pin this shutdown on the
Republican Senator Cruz. But I don't know that that narrative
is playing in Peoria.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
No, it is not, and it's not because it's false.
And the questioner who was questioning Bernie last night is
exactly right. This is the Schumer shutdown. We are right
now on day sixteen of the Schumer shutdown. And the
reason we have the shutdown is really twofold number one.
The Democrats have shut the government down because they want
(04:44):
to try to force free taxpayer funded healthcare for illegal aliens.
And in particular, in the one Big Beautiful bill that
we passed this summer that President Trump signed on the
fourth of July, we explicitly put a prohibition on Medicaid
funds going to illegal immigran The Democrats are insisting they
will not reopen the government unless we repeal that prohibition
(05:07):
on funding illegal immigrants. And so that is not a
position the American people support. The American people don't want
to give free health care to illegals, but the extremes
in the Democrat Party do. But I'll tell you Ryan secondly,
and what this shutdown is about even more than that,
is Schumer is facing a political crisis, which is back
(05:29):
in March when we had the last expiration of government funding,
the Democrats actually worked in a bipartisan manner with Republicans
and we kept the government open, and Schumer almost lost
his job. The radical left got furious with him, and
Chuck Schumer is looking over his left shoulder and he
sees aoc breathing down his neck getting ready to primary him.
(05:51):
And the reason the government shut down today is Schumer
is trying to prove to the crazy radicals that he
hates Donald Trump as much as they do. And so
the question was exactly right. When Joe Biden was president,
thirteen different times, we passed a clean continuing resolution that
meant Republicans cooperated with Democrats to keep the government open.
(06:16):
Today the House is pasted the clean sea are we
could do it the fourteenth time, but no, Chuck Schumer
has to prove to all the crazies in the No
King's rally that he just he's manid motivated by just
as much hate for Trump as they are. And it
really is a shame that you're seeing federal workers held
(06:38):
hostage and the US government held hostage for what is
an empty political stunt to appeal to the extreme left
of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Senator Ted Cruz our guest, I want to follow up
on what you just said, Senator with this other excerpt
from that town hall on CNN last night. I don't
think this played very well for AOC and Senator Sanders
goes off on a tangent when they are asked if
the plan is to primary Chuck Schumer and if AOC
will be the one to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
But are you saying that Senator Schumer should not be
worried about a primary challenge from you.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
No, let's me jumping.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
This is talking about exactly what we're talking to. Have
a country that is falling apart. We're at a house
housing crisis, a healthcare crisis, an education crisis, massive income
and wealth inequality, a corrupt campaign finances, and the media says, oh,
you could run, nobody cares.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Here's the health speaker and President Trump and the Vice
president saying it.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Pardon of course, they're saying it to deflect attention away from.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
The real issue. Exactly.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Let me tell you what the real issue is that
CFCNN talks about it. We're living in the richest country
in the history of the world, right all right, You
tell me why we're the only nation not the guarantee
healthcare old people, the only nation not the guarantee paid
family and medical league. Why we have a seven dollars
and twenty five cent minimum wage while we have eight
hundred thousand people sleeping out on the street, while we
(08:05):
have a president who denies the reality of climate change,
why we have oligauts on top. We have more and
more power every day. Let's talk about that issue, not
her own political future.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
She'll decide that Senator Cruz, what does this say to
you that they reacted so violently to that question as
to whether Chuck Schumer's leadership is to.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Be challenged because they know the answer is yes, that
for all intents and purposes, AOC is acting as the
Democrat minority leader in the Senate, that she is leading
Chuck Schumer around like she has a ring through his nose,
and wherever she wants to go, he happily follows. I
(08:46):
will say I've predicted this before. I actually think Chuck
Schumer will be the inaugural member of the AOC for
President team, and he's going to try to convince her Alexandre,
you're really far too important to think about something as
lowly as Senate. You belong in the oval office. I
think that's Humor's plan. He's going to try to convince
her of that. But listen, Bernie and AOC and the
(09:09):
entire Democrat Party, they are radical and they are extreme.
I've done three different town hall debates with Bernie Sanders
on CNN and in fact, like he was asking, why
don't we have socialized healthcare? Well, the answer is because
it doesn't work at every place that it does implement it.
You have scarcity, and you have rationing, you have the
federal government telling you you can't get the healthcare you want.
(09:30):
And I'll tell you a response that I've given Bernie
when he asked that question is is you know, Ryan,
there is zero impediment to any state in the Union
setting up socialized healthcare. Under the constitution, the states can
do that. Bernie's home state of Vermont could set up
socialized healthcare. California, which has a Democrat governor and a
(09:50):
super majority Democrat legislature, could pass socialized health care. Today,
your state of Colorado, you've got a Democrat governor. They
could pass socialized health care. You should ask yourself, why
do none of these Democrats put socialized health care in
their states? And the answer California looked at it and
they realized it would bankrupt us. The taxes would be
(10:12):
so high that you would have all the employers flee.
And it doesn't work. And so what they want to
do is they want to force it on the whole country.
So you can't flee, So you can't get away unless
you're willing to leave America. You can't escape. My answer
to Bernie is implemented in Vermont. And let's see if
people flood to the socialist utopia that you have up
(10:34):
on the northern tip of the US. And they haven't
done it, and they're not going to do it. Because
when I asked Bernie in these town halls, how come
every place you put socialized health care you get long
waiting lines and you get people denied. No, you can't
have hip surgery. No you can't have cataract surgery. You've
got an eighteen month waiting list to get the surgery
you need. Why does that happen? And his answer, like
(10:58):
all good communists, he says, well, it's never been implemented, right,
but we would do it differently. So every place on
earth it's been implemented, it fails. But but he claims
in theory somehow that that if he's in charge of
your healthcare, he would magically handle it. Okay, you know what,
I'll stick with free enterprise. It works a heck of
a lot better.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Senator Ted Cruz our guest one final point. Senator Cruz,
this interchange between you and Tucker Carlson aged very well
for you, not so well for him. In the wake
of the Trump peace accord between Israel and Hamas.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Okay, what's the ethic mix of Aron? They are Persians
were predominantly shea, Okay, you don't.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Know anything about Iran.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
So okay, I am not the the Tucker Carlson bird
on Iran. You're a who's calling the one who at
the country. No, you don't know anything about the country.
You're the one who claims they're not trying to murder
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Who can't figure out General Solon You said they're murder Trump, Yes, because.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
You're not calling for military strikes against them in retaliation.
Caring out military strikes today, you said Israel was right
with our health, Senator, That was in advance of the
strikes against the nuclear sites within Iran that many are arguing,
including myself, or paramount to this deal getting done through
a show of force.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Your response unquestionably correct. The single most important national security
decision that President Trump has made in his second term
was the decision to launch the bombing stripes strikes on
the nuclear facilities in Iran. It was an incredible success.
We had V two bombers fly halfway around the world
(12:41):
deliver bunker busting bombs to take out three nuclear facilities,
including the Ford Out facility that's literally built in the
in the bottom of a mountain to develop nuclear weapons.
And understand, Iran was working to develop nuclear weapons because
I believe they intended to use them when the Iatola
(13:01):
chance death to America and death to Israel. I believe him.
And so President Trump is a strong commander in chief.
That bombing strike was incredibly effective. And you know you
played that Tucker Carlson exchange. I got to say. Tucker
publicly said he tried very hard to convince President Trump
not to bomb the nuclear weapons facilities in Iran. And
(13:24):
Tucker predicted, he said, if we bomb those facilities, the
result will be World War three. He said thousands of
Americans will die, and he said Iran will beat US.
Iran will win World War three and beat the United
States of America. Now, Ryan, those predictions were laughably absurdly wrong. Instead,
(13:44):
what happened is we utterly destroyed their nuclear weapons facility
and that demonstration of strength. Look, Iran is the chief
patron of Hamas and Hesbla. More than ninety percent of
the funds for Hamas and Hesbela come from Iran. And
when Iran lost that war, it broke the spirit and
broke the back of Hamas. And it's why we have
(14:07):
the historic peace accord in Israel and in Gaza right now,
because we have a strong commander in chief and Donald Trump.
And so my simple message on that is is Donald
Trump was right and Tucker Carlson was wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Senator Ted Cruz our guest. Now he is a primary
sponsor to keep AM radio in cars. This is a
pivotal moment for us here at iHeart and of course
you can catch his daily podcast, The Verdict with Ted
Cruz right on the iHeartRadio app along with Ben Ferguson.
But a final question on a lighter note, Senator, they
are shutting down the MTV music channels in the UK,
(14:41):
and it's only a matter of time before it happens
here in the United States. Your all time favorite music
video on MTV is.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Oh, I'd have to say Michael Jackson's thriller I was
a teenager. Then, it's very funny. My press secretary is
looking at me completely confused. I think she wasn't alive
when Thriller came out. But uh uh, you know when
when suddenly everyone started dancing a zombies that that that
that that that was a fun time in teenage years making.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
News right here. iHeart Denver Senator Ted Cruz joining us
here today. Senators, so grateful for your time. Thank you
so much, and continue the good work there on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Take care, God bless
There are more than two hundred left wing groups behind
these No Kings rallies this weekend. They deliberately are blind
to what each of the others are doing. That's part
of how they avoid accountability. RICO is designed for precisely
that sort of criminal enterprise. And so I believe the
Senate we ought to take up and vote on and
(00:21):
pass our stop Funders legislation. And I've urged both Pam
Bondi at DOJ and Cash Bettell at FBI follow the
money and prosecute those who are writing checks funding acts
of violence, political violence, or otherwise across the country.

That bombing strike was incredibly effective. And you know you
played that Tucker Carlson exchange. I got to say. Tucker
publicly said he tried very hard to convince President Trump
not to bomb the nuclear weapons facilities in Iran. And
(13:24):
Tucker predicted, he said, if we bomb those facilities, the
result will be World War three. He said thousands of
Americans will die, and he said Iran will beat US.
Iran will win World War three and beat the United
States of America. Now, Ryan, those predictions were laughably absurdly wrong. Instead,
(13:44):
what happened is we utterly destroyed their nuclear weapons facility
and that demonstration of strength. Look, Iran is the chief
patron of Hamas and Hesbla. More than ninety percent of
the funds for Hamas and Hesbela come from Iran. And
when Iran lost that war, it broke the spirit and
broke the back of Hamas. And it's why we have
(14:07):
the historic peace accord in Israel and in Gaza right now,
because we have a strong commander in chief and Donald Trump.
And so my simple message on that is is Donald
Trump was right and Tucker Carlson was wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Senator Ted Cruz our guest. Now he is a primary
sponsor to keep AM radio in cars. This is a
pivotal moment for us here at iHeart and of course
you can catch his daily podcast, The Verdict with Ted
Cruz right on the iHeartRadio app along with Ben Ferguson.
But a final question on a lighter note, Senator, they
are shutting down the MTV music channels in the UK,
(14:41):
and it's only a matter of time before it happens
here in the United States. Your all time favorite music
video on MTV is.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Oh, I'd have to say Michael Jackson's thriller I was
a teenager. Then, it's very funny. My press secretary is
looking at me completely confused. I think she wasn't alive
when Thriller came out. But uh uh, you know when
when suddenly everyone started dancing a zombies that that that
that that that was a fun time in teenage years making.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
News right here. iHeart Denver Senator Ted Cruz joining us
here today. Senators, so grateful for your time. Thank you
so much, and continue the good work there on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Take care, God bless
