Ted Cruz on the Mark Levin Show

first of all we have the slaughter that occurred in Oregon and to my great %HESITATION distress without knowing all the facts the president is out there but

I'd say eighty percent of his talk was about gun control he was saying this ought to be politicized that %HESITATION eve started to in

directly attacked the NRA and other groups attacked Congress I I just find it's so amazing that we have these these

unfortunately that is the approach with president Obama on every issue it is that he seeks Terrassa party seeks to politicize and

it's worth remembering he ears ideological and then and he's a radical you know is is former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said I

of what exactly happened or or what the motivations were but what is clear is

that let every time we see the shooting of this current we've seen people with significant mental illnesses with I

have people who are violent crime and and there is no doubt that we ought to come down on violent crime like

Obama administration doesn't do that instead they try to use these trad as an excuse to come after the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens it's unconstitutional it's

cynical in its raw but here we are we don't have all the facts we don't even have the name in the identity of the %HESITATION mass killer which

I which is odd he's been dead over six hours I thought we don't have you know the basics we've been working very hard here to pull more information and

the president jumpstart microphone he didn't jump a microphone yesterday when Russia invaded %HESITATION dating I

six and a half years of the Obama Clinton foreign policy leading from behind America's

retreated from the world and in our every bad actor honor as taken the measure of president Obama's determined he is no credible threat whatsoever and

I'll tell you for the next sixteen my mark what we are essentially in a hobby and state of nature it it is like lord of the flies where

Mandarin chief of the United States is simply not credible and and in fact far too many world leaders I think at this point treated as a laughing I

but now that you and I don't invade countries let latex I collect the commander in chief Putin has a habit of doing now

senator Cruz we've been watching what's going on on the Senate floor very closely particularly on this program there's

each McConnell lead but you've got a Byzantine system there in the United States Senate which makes it very difficult he

has spent more time more time strategizing against you then he has strategizing against Harry

Reid oral bomb so when you're on the Senate floor the other day asking your collar particularly the Republicans to join you in defunding Planned Parenthood not

McConnell did something extraordinary he insured or assured that your fellow colleagues would not support

on preventing Planned Parenthood from getting taxpayer funded even though they were filmed apparently committee a

pattern of felonies illegally selling the body parts of unborn children and I desperately wanted to block a vote on actually stopping

this catastrophic Iran deal I you know leadership says over and over again quite right that a nuclear Iran is the greatest national security threat facing America if that were true Congress
