Cruz criticizes Biden, Grisham, and Adams.
Sen. Ted Cruz Takes Shots at Democrat Officials in Latest Podcast Episode
In a recent episode of his podcast, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) didn’t hold back as he discussed various current events happening across the U.S.
During the episode, Cruz touched on significant topics such as the 9/11 anniversary, the Biden administration reportedly considering keeping illegal aliens in Texas, and New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham unilaterally suspending open and concealed carry laws in her state.
Cruz made these remarks on his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson on Monday, coinciding with the nation’s mourning of the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Addressing the Vulnerability on the Southern Border
Early in the podcast, Cruz highlighted the vulnerability of the nation’s southern border, emphasizing that numerous individuals on the terror watch list have been apprehended there.
“The open border is also an invitation to terrorists,” Cruz stated. “If you’re the next planner of 9/11, it’s obvious where you go – you go to Mexico. And you come right across. And Joe Biden, and the idiots in his administration, will fly you to wherever you want to go in this country, and you can carry out your terror attack. And sadly, every day that we have an open border under Joe Biden and the Democrats, the odds of another major attack in this country, a major terror attack go up systematically, they are exposing us. They are exposing vulnerabilities whether it is someone trying to hijack an airplane or whether it is a suicide bomber in a mall, or an amusement park, or a concert, or what have you.”
Debunking the Proposal to Use Ankle Monitors
Several minutes later, Cruz addressed a report from the Washington Free Beacon that claimed the Biden administration was considering using ankle monitors to prevent illegal immigrants from leaving Texas.
“Look, this is utter and complete garbage. It is nakedly political. It is blatantly illegal,” Cruz exclaimed. “There is no other explanation for this. The reason they want to target Texas is because they hate Texas, because Texas is red. Listen, 7.2 million people have crossed illegally under Joe Biden, is he really proposing let’s keep all 7.2 million in Texas? We got 30 million Texans. Yeah, he wants to take us to 37 million Texans and have a quarter of the state be illegal and he wants to do that so that he doesn’t upset Democrats in blue states. This is, it is blatantly illegal. And it is it is illegality piled on illegality. Look, current federal law requires that he deport these people. He’s defying federal law.”
Setting the Record Straight on the Border Crisis
Cruz also took a shot at New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams for blaming Texas Governor Greg Abbott for the illegal immigration crisis that has spread to his city.
“Newsflash, the border crisis was not caused by Governor Greg Abbott. You know who the border crisis was caused by? Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi,” Cruz asserted. “You know, if Eric Adams doesn’t like this border crisis, he ought to pick up the phone and call someone who lives in Manhattan. His name is Charles Schumer. And Chuck Schumer has defended Joe Biden’s open borders every single day for the last two and a half years. He’s blocked every effort to secure the border. He’s blocked every effort to build the wall. He’s blocked every effort to deport illegal immigrants. He’s blocked every effort to reinstate the remain-in-Mexico policy. He’s blocked every effort to pass Kate’s law, which I introduced to lock up and have mandatory minimum sentences for violent criminals who repeatedly reenter this country. Eric Adams’ party created this problem, and they didn’t just create it in the past. They are creating it today. And they intend to create it tomorrow.”
Condemning the Restriction of Constitutional Rights
Cruz then turned his attention to Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, who recently signed an executive order declaring gun violence a public emergency in her state, subsequently using it to restrict people’s constitutional rights.
“Look, unfortunately, this is the consequence today if you elect Democrats – they will come after your constitutional rights, it’s who they are,” Cruz warned. “The one unifying factor of Democrats today is they are, I believe, a totalitarian party. They believe, they’re statist, they believe in government control. And you look at what the governor of New Mexico has done here. It is utterly, blatantly, brazenly, unapologetically lawless.”
Cruz concluded by reminding listeners of the importance of the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms.
