For EXTRA CREDIT,
what movie hero best describes TED CRUZ?
Jay was told, possibly by wifey: "FINISH HIM."Or, he may have been approached by ValJar (The Night Stalker)
Megyn and conservative Hollywood writer David Mamet had a discussion about all the positive applause Senator Cruz received. They also discussed conservatives in Hollywood, etc.
If you missed it, watch the repeat at 9:00 pm PT. This segment took place sometime between the 9:30 and 9:50pm mark. Sorry I can't be more specific on the exact time.
The fix was in when he made Senator Cruz his “second” guest.
*******
And Cruz appeared much later than originally scheduled which was the Friday of the LAX shooting. So he was delayed and then given second billing. Hmmm.
Cruz Educates Leno on the Real ReaganHe's got Ted Cruz on there, and he said, "Look, I know you're a man of principle.
You have your principles.
Does that prevent compromise, when you're so set on what you do?"CRUZ: My view on compromise is actually exactly the same thing as what Ronald Reagan's was.
Reagan said, "What do you do if they offer you half a loaf?"
Answer: "You take it, and then you come back for more."LENO: I don't think Ronald Reagan could get in the Tea Party today.
CRUZ: You know, I don't think that's right at all. Look at what Reagan did.
LENO: Mmm-hmm?
CRUZ: Reagan led a grassroots revolution.
I think where we are today is an awful lot like the late 1970s --LENO: Okay.
CRUZ: -- where we had economic stagnation.
We had people hurting because the government policies under Jimmy Carter, they weren't working.
Remember, Reagan challenged an combatant Republican president 1976 in a primary --LENO: Right.
CRUZ: -- and there was I grassroots revolution where he said:
Listen, this isn't working; let's get back to free market principles --LENO: Mmm-hmm.
CRUZ: -- back to the Constitution...
Now, let's go back to March 13th, 1975, on The Tonight Show, 1975, Johnny Carson had Ronaldus Magnus, and they had this exchange
CARSON: Everybody is confused. How are we gonna get out of this?
REAGAN: I think one of the things is that people keep looking to government for the answer,
and government's the problem. (applause)A moment ago you asked, you know, about people and feeling not only confused, but low and down on America.
First of all, the American people, if they would just take a little inventory and look around,
you triple our troubles and we're better off than any other people on earth.And we've asked so much of government, and we've gotten in the habit over the last 40 years of thinking that government has the answers.
There's very little that government can do as efficiently and as economically as the people can do themselves.
And if the government would shut the doors and sneak away for about three weeks, we'd never miss 'em.RUSH: Ronald Reagan was the Tea Party.
But there's Leno, "Well, Reagan, he couldn't even get in the Tea Party."
You know, a lot of leftists say that.
"You know, the Republicans, they would reject Reagan in a primary election."Bull shhh. Bull. It's a crock...
I went back and checked my DVR of Megyn's show tonight. The Ted Cruz on Jay Leno's show segment started at 9:42 PM ET.
The repeat of "The Kelly File" just started about 4 minutes ago. Catch the show at the bottom of the hour if you're interested in hearing Megyn Kelly's comments about all the positive applause for Sen. Ted Cruz when he was on Leno's show last Friday.
Great post! (65)
Rondog, the Kelly video would never have happened without you and the intrepid band of Freepers that night.
Thank you!
Why invite someone on to a "comedy show" and turn it into Crossfire? - YaelleMy thought, exactly!There already are enough "political" shows out there. :(--snip --I never ever saw Leno quite that rough on anyone ever. - YaelleI don't watch the "Tonight Show" often enough to speak with authority on this......but it did seem very "out of character" for Jay to be constantly INTERRUPTING Senator Cruz......and ZINGING him with obviously prepared "gotcha" statements, and clearly leftist talking points.
I'm currently doing "thread prep" on THIS "practice" thread......for our ACTUAL "after action" thread, soon to be posted in "Breaking News." :)
"Serious" TED CRUZ rocks TONIGHT SHOW with "Bad Jay" LENO
[PHOTOS, analysis, FReeper "after party"!]
Leno is a "short-timer" now, and he is letting his true colors show.
I didn't watch it or the videos; I only read the transcript. And it seemed like Cruz did very well, just based on the words spoken.
On the other hand, people "who can hear the truth" are in increasingly short supply these days.
