Cruz: And the reason we had a government shutdown is President Obama the Democrats said,
"we will not negotiate, and we will not compromise."You know, its striking now...
Jay: But heres my thing.
You dont negotiate or compromise because A) John Roberts Republican, pretty much said this is the law.Obamacare is the law of the land.
Lets move on. Isnt that true?Cruz: The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional challenge.
But it isnt working.
3.5 million people across this country have gotten cancelation notices...Jay: I know, but social security took seven years before anybody got the first check.
Roosevelt said, were gonna put social security it was seven years before anybody got anything.
Jay: Let me ask about gun control.Why is increased or better background checks not a good thing?
You voted against this.Why is that why is keeping the mentally unstable, those type of people
not saying you cant have guns, you just have to pass a background check.Why is that bad?
Cruz: Look, I support background checks.
In fact, when we had the battle over gun control, I was very proud to work with Senator Chuck Grassley
on the law enforcement alternative. There are two different philosophies.Do you target violent criminals, or do you try to
take away the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens?Jay: Well, no, you always target violent criminals, obviously,
but the fact that a complete psychopath can go to a gun show and buy half a dozen guns and now,
hasnt your new bill made it easier to go across state lines with guns?
