Sen. Ted Cruz on the Kelly File

senator and presidential candidate Ted Cruz scary dangerous and slimy of

the guardian declaring you are done forty eight hours after you have declared into that you say well

look there there's nothing nothing like the warm embrace of of the mainstream media and I have to say I

think one of my favorite comments was the New York Times said in in in the last day that crews cannot be nominated because

the Washington elites hated and I have to admit my immediate thought was holy cow do

I have to disclose that to the federal elections commission on it in time kind contribution I

mean I can't think of a better summary of why I'm running if you if you're looking for a candidate embraced by

the Washington political elite I am sure gotten what but what about the Wall Street journal because they're not exactly left

wing pundits they came out this morning with a piece comparing you to then senator Obama suggesting as Charles Krauthammer did we've

already tried the one term senator thing and in their view it didn't work out so well well look there's been a lot of folks throwing throwing that attack and and I gotta say there are market differences between

my background in Barack Obama's we're both first term senators are going to Harvard out we both went to Harvard but their market differences in his time in the Senate he

was basically a back bencher he did not lead on any issues of real significance in my time in the Senate there

a lot of faults I had but nobody would accuse me of being a back bencher what I've tried to do is lead on the great challenges as they did

today whether it's stopping obamacare stopping the out of control debtor stopping executive

amnesty or defending our constitutional rights are standing with Israel or stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons secondly

Megan unlike Barack Obama before the Senate I wouldn't community organizer I spent five and a half years the Solicitor General of Texas the

a four thousand person agency over seven hundred lawyers and over and over again we lead

and one national conservative fights defending the ten commandments and winning defending the pledge of allegiance and

winning defending the second amendment in well under time in the Senate is with some of your critics point to they say yes he led the fight on

the beginning of the second term of Obama we had the horrible shooting in sandy hook and president Obama didn't come out and say let's go target violent

criminals which is what he would have student you should have done and how we could have brought together bipartisan agreement instead he used it as an excuse to go after law

abiding citizens and much of Washington was consigned we can't stop this the train is moving getting get

every single proposal Barack Obama undermined the second amendment was voted down on the Senate floor how do you you

know when you when you're the leader when you're the president you have to bring coalitions together to get things through you can't just be here that

you know somebody who stops things you actually have to get get be somebody to get things through what you've got to do both you know it's interesting in the last two
