Ted Cruz Like You’ve Never Seen. Throws Gauntlet on Obama and Refugee Crisis
Louder with Crowder ^ | November 19, 2015

Posted on 11/19/2015 10:10:41 AM PST by Isara

This week, on Louder With Crowder, we welcome Senator Ted Cruz in an exclusive, full-length, unedited interview. Some transcript highlights below, but the video is worth a watch. This is Ted Cruz unbuttoned, uncensored, and like you’ve never seen him.

Ted Cruz Throws Down! | Louder With Crowder (Video)

On his direct challenge to Obama’s attacks on him regarding Syrian refugees.

“Yesterday he attacked me, said I was ‘un-American’, today he attacked me and said I was 'offensive’. All because I'm saying what millions of Americans are saying across this country"

"I think it is lunacy when this administration can't vet them, has no idea who among them might be ISIS terrorists, but because of political correctness they want to bring them here anyway."

On how he’s perceived in the media.

"This is me, the media doesn't want to show it. The media always wants to paint Republicans as either stupid or evil. And I guess for me I'm somewhat encouraged they invented a third category for me which is 'crazy'”

On explaining the historical/political context of Climate Change

"Now Climate Change for a politician who wants power over your life is the perfect pseudo-scientific theory because it can never be disproven. If it gets hotter or colder, wetter or drier, whatever happens the magic theory is always right, and interestedly enough their solution is exactly the same as Global Cooling and Global Warming, it is massive government power over you and me and everybody else.”

He also discusses his love for Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Princess Bride and how he balances his faith and compassion with a strong stance on national security.

I will say this, I’ve been unsure about Ted Cruz’s electability for a while. On policy and principle, I align with him more than any other candidate. But to the undecided, he’s come across as a little stiff and manufactured. It was pivotal to become more relatable, and interactive. With this interview, he changed my mind.

Given the proper amount of time on a stage, I think this man would embarrass Hillary Clinton. I stand corrected.

Ted Cruz is a Senator who called GOP leaders a liar to their faces.

I would ask Obama if he will take complete responsibility if even one of the refugees ends up injuring or killing an American or Americans?

And will he apologize to the family of the injured person (s). After all, he is pushing this hard in spite of the known risks.

Before the security crisis, TED CRUZ, the MS’s strategy was to silence him. CRUZ was forced to get everything he needed to say into a one-two minute sound bite. (That in itself was remarkable.) It what made him appear stiff and manufactured.

There’s no stopping him now.

Cruz said “Let Obama come and insult me to my face.” If he was to punch Obama he’d get anointed president.

The only consistent conservative running, and one of the few who’s actually made an effort to stand up to the Washington cartel.

Good old Crowder. Makes me wish this device was set up to do video, almost. Hopefully Roku or AppleTV will be able to access it.

The thing about this chart is not every issue carries equal weight.

For example, Rubio is the second most conservative, according to the number of green dots. However, the one red doe for immigration, for me, outweighs the sum of the green dots. That's how important that issue is.

I always knew Crowder's a smart guy. :)

Actually, I’ve never seen Obama insult ANYONE to their face. He always makes sure it’s filtered through the media, or with the secret service, or some other “safe zone” setting.

After the picture of him doing the “girlie-flinch” while watching a karate match, (not to mention the way he throws a baseball), I doubt the little snowflake has ever been in a real fight in his life.

So, without his protections, he’ll reserve his petulant insults to show off to his tight little band of yes-men, and never get near Cruz.

Cruz/Crowder interview, pretty nice. The one thing I have to say though, is I just can’t support Cruz’s idea that Princess Bride is his favorite movie... Seriously..
