Ted Cruz on the Sean Hannity Show

you become the pariah first for advocating the very things that all of your colleagues have advocated for dnmt

well Sean you're you're you're absolutely right %HESITATION over and over again are coming up to an election Republicans promise that will stand and fight that will stand for principle and and the

Republican leadership tell this nope we can't fight or anything we will surrender to Obama on

every single policy it's why people are are frustrated out of their mind %HESITATION I I think it's also why our

campaign for president is getting such incredible momentum is that is that people are looking for a leader I

who will do what he says he will do whom behave the same the day after election day that he behaves before election day and

with speaker banner being gone I'd frankly like to see new leadership in the Senate arm but speaker banner is gone I

would I'm looking for somebody that will use their constitutional apart authority in the power of the purse what

do you expect if it's Kevin McCarthy are you friends with him what do you expect from what I'm hearing today there's probably going to be a challenge to him from the from

the freedom caucus one of those guys that think is contemplating getting in so it's not a fate accompli in any way because the freedom

caucus would have enough votes to stop Kevin McCarthy from becoming speaker what are your thoughts on what you go on there well

I I have long said that house leadership decisions are decision for that the house conference to make and so I thought pretty consciously avoided sticking my nose into it %HESITATION I

said that here she be a strong conservative who is committed to honoring the promises we made to the voters I think that's the

clear up and vote at the outset on repealing the congressional exemption from obamacare that that's something career politicians don't want to do but that would be a strong %HESITATION

opening action for a new Republican speaker to say we're going to listen to the many women who elected us and not cater

to the Washington cartel and not embrace a double standard for Washington politics me ask you as as

you go forward what is the best path you want to be the president of the United States and by the way you show up always in the top five in

the polls it's the year of the insurgent your viewed as an insurgent candidate because you challenge the status quo in Washington if

you become president of the United States how do we turn all of this around went sixty percent of

first is executive action now president Obama's we know has abused his executive power over

and over again I the little one silver lining of that is everything that has been done with

office your research and every single illegal and unconstitutional executive action to

instruct the department of justice to investigate Planned Parenthood to instruct every agency of government that's

the persecution of religious liberty and that day but the second Avenue I'll trade with the new president's foreign policy and foreign policy can change very

it right Ronald Reagan was sworn into office that's the difference a strong commander in chief can make and
