Before nobody's ever seen anything like this, this is a witch other. This is a witch other. This is to damage, crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country, by far, by far, to damage his political opponent. That's all this is. The highly political judge, a totally conflicted judge, who just did something that nobody's ever seen. And the press is not happy. I don't imagine, they just got thrown out of a courthouse. Nobody's ever seen any place.

The Texas spirit of proud independence was forged by cowboys and cattle hands, ranchers and rangers, oil workers, soldiers, and brave, brave, brave pioneers. Many came here with nothing but the boots on their feet, the clothes on their back, and the gun in their saddle. But they turned this state into a home of freedom, justice, and liberty, and they raised the flag high and dared any foe to come and take it. Do you know what that is? Come and take it! Come and take it! Together they helped make America into the single greatest nation in the history of the world. But now, we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. We are a nation that has the highest inflation in 58 years, where banks are collapsing and interest rates are skyrocketing. Likewise, we are a nation where energy costs have reached the highest levels in our history. We are no longer energy-independent or energy-dominant, as we were just a few short years ago. We are a nation that is begging Venezuela and others for oil. "Please, please, please help us," Joe Biden says, "yet we have more liquid gold under our feet than any other country anywhere in the world." We are a nation that just recently heard that Saudi Arabia and Russia will be reducing their oil production while at the same time substantially increasing the price. And we met that threat by announcing that we will no longer be drilling for oil in large areas of Alaska or elsewhere in our land. We gave up Anwar, the greatest reserve, perhaps anywhere in the world. We are a nation that is consumed by the radical left's Green New Deal, yet everybody knows that the green new scam is fake and will lead to our destruction. We are a nation whose leaders are demanding all-electric cars, despite the fact that they don't go far, they cost too much, and whose batteries are produced in China with materials only available in China when an unlimited amount of gasoline is available inexpensively in the United States. But it is not available in China. And now we are a nation that wants to make our revered and very powerful army tanks the best anywhere in the world, all-electric, so that despite the fact that they also are not able to go far, fewer pollutants will be released into the air as we blast our way through enemy territory in an environmentally friendly way. And they also want to make our fighter jets with a green stamp of energy savings, though losing 15 percent efficiency, but allowing us to keep our enemy's atmosphere clean of emissions as we viciously and unceremoniously attack them at levels never seen before. Where and who are these people that would do this to our country? Who are these people who would ruin us and make us look like fools? We are a nation that ended oil exploration and production in the U.S. just as the price of oil reached an all-time high. What other country would do such a stupid thing and so self-destructive yet? Can we be energy independent and even energy dominant again? Yes, oh, yes, and quickly, says President Trump, yes, oh, yes, and quickly. We are a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan, leaving dead soldiers, American citizens, and $85 billion worth of the finest military equipment in the world behind, and also abandoning Bagram, one of the biggest military bases anywhere in the world, and only one hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons. And we are a nation that allowed Russia and Ukraine to fight, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and it will only get worse. It would never have happened with me as your president, and for four straight years, it didn't happen. Likewise, the horrifying attack on Israel would never have happened. They wouldn't have even had a thought of doing such a thing if President Trump was in the Oval Office. Iran was broke under the Trump administration. They didn't have the money to fund Hamas or Hezbollah and all of the other instruments, terror that they used to finance. But those sanctions were lifted by a corrupt Biden administration, and now Iran is a rich country with $200 billion and another $6 billion for hostages and $10 billion for electricity to Iraq, all compliments of the incompetent Biden administration. And China with Taiwan is next. We are a nation that allows radical left terrorists to violently attack our cities, leaving behind massive destruction and death, and nothing happens to the criminals that do these terrible things. There is no punishment. But when people who love our country protest on January 6th in Washington, they become hostages unfairly imprisoned for long periods of time. We are a third world nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party like never before. We've got a Federal Bureau of Investigation that won't allow bad election-changing facts to be presented to the public, and which offers $1 million to a writer of fiction about Donald Trump to lie and say it was fact. Where Hunter Biden's laptop from hell was Russian disinformation and the FBI knew it wasn't, but 51 intelligence agents said it was, and the Department of Justice that refuses to investigate egregious acts of voting irregularities and fraud. And we have a man who is totally corrupt and the worst president in the history of our country, who is cognitively impaired, in no condition to lead, and is now in charge of dealing with Russia and possible nuclear war, which would be World War III and far more devastating than any of the previous world wars because of the weaponry that no one even wants to think about. We are a nation that no longer has a free and fair press. Fake news is all you get, and they are indeed the enemy of the people. They refuse to discuss the Biden crime family but enjoy covering the false indictments of Donald J. Trump, who has done nothing wrong except win an election against Hillary Clinton, which some people thought he was unexpected to win. We are a nation that with free speech no longer allowed, and it is no longer allowed, and if we don't win the next election, it never will be allowed again, and where crime is rampant and out of control like never, ever before. We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon and China to use the trillions and trillions of dollars it has taken from us to build a military to rival our own. And less than four years ago, we had Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea in check. They respected us. They were afraid of us. They weren't going to do a thing against us, and everyone knows it. Now Russia and China are holding summits to carve up the world and to become partners. And perhaps most importantly, we're a nation that is no longer admired, respected, or listened to on the world stage. We are a nation that in many ways has become a joke. We are a nation that is hostile to liberty, freedom, faith, and even God. We are a nation whose economy is collapsing into a cesspool of ruin, whose supply chain is broken, whose stores are not stocked, whose deliveries are not coming, and whose educational system is ranked at the bottom of every single list. We are a nation that just sold a once great company, United States Steel, to Japan. We are a nation whose stock market's continued success is contingent on MAGA winning the next election. We are a nation where large packs of sadistic criminals and thieves are allowed to go into stores and openly rob them, beat up and kill their workers and customers, and leave with armloads of goods but with no retribution, where the authority of our great police has been taken, where their families and pensions have been threatened, and their lives would be destroyed for the mere mention of the words "law enforcement." We are a nation where fentanyl and all other forms of illegal drugs are easier to get than groceries to feed our beautiful families. We have become a drug-infested, crime-ridden nation, which is incapable of solving even the simplest of problems. We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death during their lives of at least 500 people or more. Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing and hopelessly dying in their arms, screaming, "What can I do? What can I do?" We are a nation whose once revered airports are dirty, crowded mess. You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won't leave, and they have no idea when they will, where the ticket prices have tripled, they don't have the pilots to fly the planes, they don't seek the qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don't know what the hell they're doing. We are a nation that screens its citizens viciously at all ports. And if you're an illegal alien, you're allowed to flow through the border by the millions and millions and millions. We are a nation that has lost its confidence, willpower, and strength. We are a nation that has quite simply lost its way. But we are not going to allow this horror to continue. Less than four years ago we were a great nation, and we will soon be a great nation again. It was the hardworking patriots like you who built this country, and it is the hardworking patriots like you who are going to save our country. We will fight for America like no one has ever fought before. 2024 is our final battle with you at my side. We will demolish the deep state. We will expel the warmongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will route the fake news media. We will drain the swamp, and we will liberate our country from these tyrants and villains once and for all. Like those patriots before us, we will not bend, we will not break, we will not yield. We will never give in, we will never give up. We will never, ever, ever, ever back down. With your support, we will go on to victory the likes of which no one has ever seen. And we will evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House on November 5, 2024. The great silent majority is rising like never before, and under our leadership, the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together, we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. We will make America free again. And we will make America great again. Thank you very much to the NRA, and thank you, Texas. Thank you very much. God bless you all. God bless you all. Thank you. Thank you.

Terrible. But Americans are not struggling. You know, this is the worst platform. Who put this stage up here? This is the worst. The frickin' place is falling down. I notice it keeps tilting further left. Like too many other things. Not a crappy contractor this was. No, it's true. I'm known as being a pretty tough negotiator. Sometimes I get a bad rep. A contractor does a bad job. I met a lot of great contractors. But he does a bad job. I don't pay him. And then they say, "Trump doesn't pay his bill." I pay my bills. I pay the bills so fast that they're good. But this happens to me. Look, the teleprompter is useless. It fell down. I don't know why it fell down. I don't mind. I've lost teleprompters to wind. There's no wind in here. I don't know why the hell did it fall down. Did you see it? It fell down. I'm standing here listening to the great Lee Greenwood and the teleprompter falls off the stage. Now I put my hand on this thing and the thing tilts over. This is not -- I think it was Emmer. Maybe Emmer doesn't like me.

We're here with our friend, Mr. Conservative in the Senate. Ted Cruz is running for re-election in the Senate against Mr. Marx's socialist, nonetheless. Ted Cruz, it is my contention that this is the most lawless administration in American history, and I'd like your input on this, on a number of grounds. He's defied two Supreme Court decisions and he brags about it. He has violated our immigration laws and he is happy about it. He violates Title IX by redefining it in the Civil Rights Act to eliminate effectively women's sports. He's violating separation of powers by legislating on his own, by budgeting and spending on his own, by using regulations to get around Congress where the EPA is running amok and so are the other departments. He's impounding federal funds from Israel despite the fact that you folks have voted to get armaments to Israel as fast as possible. He's violating the Impoundment Act and the Take Care Clause of the Constitution. He's using the federal bureaucracy to register voters in targeted Democrat areas and he's unconstitutionally appointed through his Attorney General, a rogue prosecutor whose entire job is to harass, smear, indict, and, they hope, convict Donald Trump of something, which brings us to executive privilege, which I talked about in my opening statement. He has waived executive privilege over and over and over and over again to push up presidential documents during the Trump administration, ordering the archives to give it to the January 6th Stalinist Commission under Nancy Pelosi. He's all but destroyed executive privilege. And then a few days ago, all of a sudden, he asserts executive privilege at the request of the Attorney General who's facing a contempt vote in the House to cover up his audio of his interview, the text of which is out in the public in order to protect himself from the election, which has no constitutional basis. So what do you make of all this? You know, Mark, one of these days you're going to say something I disagree with, but it hasn't happened yet. Every word of what you just said is exactly right, that this is a brazen president, this is a brazen Department of Justice, Merrick Garland, you and I both know Merrick Garland. He spent 24 years as a judge. He actually had a good reputation as a Court of Appeals judge. I had some glimmer of hope that he might do the job with integrity. He has proven to be the most partisan and the most lawless Attorney General in our nation's history. And you are right, this administration, listen, I've said a number of times, Donald Trump broke the Democrat Party. They hate him so much that their minds have been shattered. And they've convinced themselves that Trump is Adolf Hitler. And because Trump is Hitler, anything, anything, anything is justified to stop him. You talked about these ridiculous trials. In over 200 years, we have never once indicted a president or former president in our entire country's history until this past year when the Democrats have done so four times. Every one of these cases is number one, an abuse of power because they hate Donald Trump. But number two, it is an assault on the American people. It's an assault on democracy. I got to say, I actually think Sigmund Freud is rolling over. It is great because the Democrats engage in Freudian projection at a level I've never seen. They beat their chest. They say we're defending democracy and they are engaged in an assault on democracy. And you mentioned the assertion of executive privilege. I actually view that as just mockery because it is a ludicrous claim. As you know well, executive privilege exists to protect the conversations between the president and his senior advisors. Now, mind you, the radical left doesn't care about executive privilege if it's a Republican president. And that's why Peter Navarro is in jail right now because he asserted executive privilege when when Congress tried to get him to divulge his conversations with President Trump and they sent him to jail over and they're about to send Steve Bannon to jail over the exact same thing. But in this instance, there's not even a credible claim of executive privilege. Why? Because when Joe Biden was talking with Robert Herr, he wasn't talking to a subordinate. He wasn't instructing a subordinate in his administration what to do. Look, if Joe Biden were having a conversation with Merrick Garland about the priorities of the Department of Justice, that could well be covered by executive privilege. But in this instance, Robert Herr was a special counsel. He was investigating Joe Biden for multiple felonies. Joe Biden was effectively a criminal defendant. That is not executive privilege. He was not setting policy at that moment. Robert Herr was not there as a subordinate. He was there as a prosecutor. And the claim is laughable. And by the way, Robert Herr concluded, yes, Joe Biden committed multiple felonies. He did so knowingly, willingly, brazenly, over and over and over again. And then on behalf of the Biden Department of Justice, he said, but we're not going to charge him because Joe Biden is not competent to stand trial. He's too old and senile. No jury would convict him, and yet nonetheless, this person not competent to stand trial has the nuclear codes and remains our commander in chief. When we come back, Ted Cruz, isn't that the point? Which is this. The 25th Amendment is intended to deal with situations like this, where you have basically a disabled president. We know he's disabled. That's why they treat him like a a calf in a cage. You know, that's why they don't let him out. That's why when he's shuffling from the helicopter, the staff blocks him. That's why he's had less press conferences than any president. That's why he doesn't do much public speaking without his talking points. He he is the least available president to the public. They're trying to cover this up. That's why the debate standards have been set. No audience. He wants his own journalists. You can't interrupt them. Everything is built around Joe Biden's mental disabilities. Don't we as a people? They talk about the public interest. Don't we have a right to know that the Democrats are going to nominate a man who may not be fit for president mentally and physically rather than calling that politics? Isn't that exactly what our republic is about, that we need to know who these candidates are given the power of the presidency? I want you to answer that when we return. Ted Cruz, we have the text that the administration gave up of the audio of what Joe Biden said when he was being interviewed. There is no investigation anymore. There is no conceivable element of executive privilege that's legitimate here. So basically they're covering up a very flawed and defective candidate. Isn't that part of the problem? That is that we, the people have every right to know who the hell this guy is and we don't have to play along with this. Well, yeah, the reason they're blocking it, it's obvious it's politically embarrassing. If you listen to the audio, the rational inference is the audio shows what the Department of Justice explicitly concluded, which is that Joe Biden is not competent to stand trial, that he can't remember what's going on, that he's feeble, that he's senile and that audio, they don't want the American people to hear it. There's not a legal privilege that attaches to things that are politically embarrassing, but this is all politics. And sadly with this administration, everything they do is all politics. You know, when you started your litany of lawless actions by this administration, you rightly started with the southern border. The southern border. We have never had a president do what Joe Biden is doing. I've joked, but it's not much of a joke that Biden did something I thought was impossible. He made me miss Barack Obama. And listen, you and I both had lots of disagreements with Barack Obama, but when it came to immigration, Obama by and large followed the law. He deported millions of people. In fact, the left got mad at Obama, called him the Deporter in Chief. What Joe Biden is doing, no president in over 200 years has done, which is when someone is apprehended. He just lets them go. And the immigration laws say you must detain them. You must deport them. He doesn't care. He just flagrantly violates the law day in, day out. Why? Because of power and politics. He wants an invasion at our southern border because he sees 11 million illegal immigrants as future Democrat voters. And he wants power. And if people have to die, if children have to be brutalized, if women have to be sexually assaulted, if criminals have to kill Americans, if terrorists have to enter this country, all of that he's willing to do for power. It is a level of cynicism and lawlessness that has no precedent in American history. But you know, Ted Cruz, we expect an attorney general of the United States not to be a complete lap dog for the president. He's supposed to represent the people. Richard Garland, who is less accessible typically than even Joe Biden, he gets up and he says, we follow the facts and the law and the way they, but they don't follow the facts and the law. This executive privilege claim, especially when they waived constantly executive privilege to dump all kinds, thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of documents from the executive branch, where there were conversations, where there were serious privilege issues and dumped them into Congress because Biden and Garland wanted to get Trump and get this information of the January 6th committee to, to claim now that there's no legislative purpose. Of course there's a legislative purpose. And it's this, our system is not set up for a, for, for a president who has dementia, who's breaking the law when a, when his cabinet and when the vice president won't trigger the 25th amendment, Congress can't trigger the 25th amendment. When impeachment talks about high crimes, misdemeanors, and bribery, we don't have a system in place right now to address what's taking place right now except the voters except the people. And isn't that why they want to cover up the audio? Of course it is. And, and Congress has a responsibility to engage in oversight and Merrick Garland embodies arrogance and contempt and hubris. I actually think it's a very close call who is the most arrogant member of the cabinet. It's either Merrick Garland or Alejandro Mayorkas and it's really, it is probably too close to call, but both of them, when in Congress and the Senate judiciary committee, when I'm questioning and when others are questioning them, they react with utter contempt. I don't have to answer your questions. I don't know any answers to the American people. I'm going to defy the law and I don't care what you have to say about it. Personally, I think Merrick Garland nurses a monumental grudge because he wasn't confirmed to the Supreme Court and this vain, glorious man believes he's entitled to be on the court. And so he is going to abuse and desecrate the department of justice and the office of the attorney general because he's trying to carry out his grudge because he's mad that he's not a Supreme Court justice. I am shocked that there's not even a tiny twinge of integrity that makes him say, no, I actually should follow the law if I'm at the U.S. Department of Justice, but there's not. In the 30 seconds we have left, Senator, you're in a tough race. Tough, tough race. Tell us about that very, very briefly. The Democrats are flooding cash trying to beat me. Chuck Schumer has named me his number one target in the country. Schumer and Soros are going to spend over $100 million trying to beat me. What is going to let me fight back is come to my website. It's tedcruise.org, tedcruise.org, come to tedcruise.org. Make a contribution. Just this week my left wing Democrat bought a half million dollars of TV ads. I don't have the money to be on TV. The only way I can fight back is millions of patriots across the country coming to tedcruise.org and supporting us so I can keep fighting, fighting against these radical left wing ideas, fighting to defend the Constitution, fighting to defend America. God bless you for everything you do. I'd hate to wake up after the election and find out that you're no longer a senator come January. That would be a disaster. Ted Cruz, thank you my friend. God bless you. Thank you, Mark.
