...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 found the FULL TRANSCRIPT (provided by Senator Cruz's office) from last Friday's interview here:

Video: Ted Cruz On The Tonight Show | The Lonely Conservative

...and will now post from this transcript EXTENSIVELY, to prove my point. :)

...and ZINGING him with obviously prepared "gotcha" statements, and clearly leftist talking points.

From the FULL TRANSCRIPT now posted on The Lonely Conservative:

Jay: Let me ask you something. Let me ask you something.

If I was a strategist for your side and I didn’t think Obamacare was going to work,
I would have sat back and said, "you know something, let’s not shut down the government.

Let’s see what happens.'

See, I think instead of — a lot of people do not like the government shutdown.

I mean, when Newt Gingrich was here, well he said "this is a game." Well, it’s not a game. People lose their jobs.

But, if they had just not shut it down, what’s happening with Obamacare would still have happened.

And rather than having people vilify you for shutting down the government,
it might have been seen in a different light.

Do you think...

Cruz: Listen, Jay, I’m one of the many people who was not a fan of shutting down the government.

Throughout this whole thing, I said...

Jay: You looked like a big fan from where I was standing!
