Sen. Ted Cruz on CBS This Morning

you the most conservative candidate in the Republican field well right now the only announced candidate dnmt field so I guess you

know it's it's it's sort of like not what my mom would say I'm I'm her only child she would say you're my favorite son because she quickly remind me I'm her

least favorite son as well but is that your plan to be the most can my plan is to speak the truth and and to defend common sense conservative values I

they want to get back to the free market principles in the constitutional liberties the country was built such an interesting response can your

supporters would take ten Christian come here into yet he's going to be the most conservative candidate in the field that's why I like him I

bankrupt your kids and grandkids follow the constitution I mean it's only in Washington those are viewed as radical

extreme propositions and most of America you get people Republicans Democrats independents libertarians who

come together and say look at that just makes common sense federal you say that if you're elected you repeal the affordable Care Act but

tell the whole picture for one thing the bulk of those numbers are coming from expanded Medicaid and Medicaid is a program where a lot of people on Medicaid or not getting healthcare Medicaid

is a system that is already over burdened and more more people just getting waiting lists and not actually getting healthcare beyond

that member six million people had their health insurance canceled because of obamacare you're not doing someone a favor if

you cancel the health insurance they like and then force them to buy new health insurance at higher premiums that covers less and and I can tell you people

this point it is the single largest job killer in this country can I ask you about some of the news that's in the headline what you would do is as president knighted states we know that isis

or group closed eyes has has posted the names of one hundred service members %HESITATION should we have boots on the ground in

should be a military question what is necessary to defeat isis we had boots on the ground right now with the courage the courage Martin there the peshmerga they're

fighting forces there affected they have been allies of the United States for decades even though America's not been terribly

consistent allies to the courage the courage of still with us they are fighting isis right now isis is using American

military equipment they seized in Iraq and the courage don't have the weaponry unfortunately the administration sending the weapons to Baghdad I

think the courage can be our boots on the ground at least our principal boots on the ground and we should use overwhelming air power and

let me ask that Syrian president Bashar al Assad you think it's more important to remove him orchard remove isis what should happen for I

think isis is the far greater threat and and so when president Obama opposed a proposed a unilateral military attack against

US national security interest Assad is a monster his murdering his own people but I don't believe he poses a clear and present danger to America I

thought does not Assad does not final sentence final sentence you should be elected president because just one sentence because

I'll tell the truth and I'll do what I said it would be alright we shall see senator Chris thank you very much Thangals

candidate out there thank you pleasant thank you very much Sir
