it's never been an issue for ted cruz. i've never heard ted cruz come out and forcefully defend diversity until now. and it's so tongue and cheek you cannot take this man seriously at all. >> you made the point a couple nights ago that for generations the assumption upon selecting a supreme court nominee was that, i mean, they would be white. it wasn't even a question. it wasn't even assumption. it was just a fact. and no one certainly really ever seemed to, you know, on ted cruz's disposition, ever seem to raise an objection or concern about that. >> never. and you won't hear ted cruz push back on ronald reagan in 1980 talking about nominating a woman to the supreme court. and to be completely honest, this conversation about race -- >> by the way, president trump also promising to nominate a woman. >> yes. and if we looked at the list of president trump's choices, we recognize that that wasn't the most diverse list that you could have had. so, i mean, there are these steps that people could have taken to show some -- to s

>> no, and ted cruz, of course, is the captain of the hypocrisy team since ted cruz has described the events of january 6th in almost the exact same language of being an insurrection, he's described it before and has now the new latest seven point oh version of ted cruz has now decided that that's not an important thing to do. i actually think, and i said this at the time, this whole legitimate political discourse statement of the rnc -- was a self inflicted wound, i think it's gonna hang with him for a while, in the course of this. i think mitch mcconnell understands this that is a big mistake, and that's why he did what he did. so, it will stick with them, because it's one of those kind of things in politics, that's very easy to understand, very quick to understand, why would one party describe a violent insurrection in that manner, so in typical ted cruz fashion he doesn't stand on any principle, he just does whatever he wants, trying to score some political point in the moment. >> on the other side, eugene, what do you think that these republicans who are condemning the rnc censur

so there's ted cruz celebrating crime, because what's going on here was the commission of crimes. you know, you've parked illegally in new york city, and not only does your car get towed but it gets impounded until you can pay to get it back. so people can't afford to get it back and in and sub getting impounded forever. >> yes, for someone who's lived in new york for a long time, lived in washington for a long time, we have both been caught up in protests. when you've got some place to go it can be extremely aggravating. that is part of the american fabric. people have a constitutional right, and sometimes you get inconvenienced by that. this again was not a protest. when people come and they cease and occupy capital city of a country like canada and demand the toppling of canada, that's a form of insurrection. it may play out at as far as or short of spooky theater or maybe a bush type force, but in the end of the day, if we learned one thing movie these last couple years, is that we should take all of these people, particularly at the leadership level, literally, and seriously,

. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome senator ted cruz. sen. cruz: god bless cpac. what an amazing sight. thousands of patriots and not a damn mask in sight. [cheers and applause] obviously everyone here is just following stacey abrams' exa mple. we find ourselves at an existential moment for our nation. the threats in our country have never been greater. i want to do something unusual for cpac. i want to step back and go more philosophical. and ask, what is this battle all about? what are we fighting about in this nation? i would suggest that the fundamental conflict that is playing out across this nation is a battle between power and liberty. the two are in fundamental conflict. we're seeing it every day. vaccine mandates versus doctors and nurses. mask mandates versus kids in school. spotify versus joe rogan. gofundme versus canadian truckers. justin trudeau -- [booing] let's pause for a second and observed that that is the first time in recorded history that any canadian has elicited that much of a response from any crowd on earth. justin trudeau -- [booing] and

ted cruz claims it is an insult. >> i got to say it is feoffensi. black women are 6% of the population. he's saying 94% of americans, i don't give a damn with you. he's saying it is an insult to black women if he can't say i am going to put the best jurist to court. i am not minating the person whs most qualified. he's not pretending to say that. joining me now to discuss, stacey abrams, she's the founder of fair fight actions. good evening, good to see you. senator cruz is not alone in making this argue but biden is far from the first president to make a promise like this. we should mention your sister is among those likely being considered for nomination. why are republicans so bothered binomial biden nominating a black woman. >> absolutely. president biden is someone who's willing to sit and serve the united states, he has also said that person will be a black woman. there is nothing mutually exclusive about that decision. for those who are keeping scores at home, ronald reagan made a pledge that he was going to fill the court with a woman. it fe

joining us from houston, texas senator ted cruz ted cruz. welcome back to "fox news sunday," it's good to have you here. >> senator cruz: bill, good morning, good to be with you. >> bill: i want to get to a number of topics. let's start with ukraine. you heard my conversation with admiral kirby. have we done all we can? >> senator cruz: not remotely, and tragically, europe is on the verge of war because of the weakness, the fecklessness of joe biden. you know, i heard a minute ago admiral kirby make reference to that the biden a administration -- and he said "we are still digesting what happened back in august." joe biden's surrender and disastrous retreat from afghanistan is the worst military catastrophe for the united states in decades, and the consequences -- at the time i said as a result of this incredible weakness, all of our enemies across the globe are looking to washington, they are taking the measure of the men in the oval office and as a result, as i said back in august, the chances of russia invading ukraine had just risen tenfo

and why ted cruz would be is a mystery to me. but it just -- you know, he's just spouting nonsense of the 115 supreme court justices that we've had in the history of this country, 108 have been white males. so, you know, what he's upset about is mysterious and stupid, sorry. >> mysterious and stupid, you say. why do you -- could do you have an idea why he might be making that point, if you're a white male, now you're out of luck? >> he's race-baiting. this is the voice of white supremacy. quite frankly for him to say that, we would have preferred to have barack obama appoint the first black woman to the united states senate. of the 1,850 senators, i was first black woman elected to the senate and so now we have a chance to put a black woman on the supreme court. and the -- it is not just because she's black. it is because she will have had a series of life experiences that will inform the decisions of the court, in the same way, hopefully, that thurgood marshall was able to influence the warren court. so, you know, this is called

i think ted cruz said she would be inspiring to little girls. i guess whoever this black woman is isn't going to be inspiring to roger wicker's granddaughters. so yeah, i think no mapt matter the process would have been, if it was going to be a black woman, they would have said this would have been affirmative action, so i'm not surprised. but it is hypocritical given what they said before. >> i think the way they've stated their position is not great. however, this weekend, the abc news poll came out and three quarters of the american people say biden was wrong to announce this the way he did. that he said that i will consider everybody. i look at the list. all these people are highly qualified, experienced , respected. so i think shhe's saddled shouldn't. the correct way for republicans to look at this and my gut reaction was we ought to turn this into a circus. the right answer is to show this process can work when we want it to work and to give the person a fair hearing and vigorous challenge, but on the merits and show this person respect.

ted cruz -- i mean, what is -- did he go to an ivy league school? like, come on, man. also, keep in mind that, out of 115 justices so far, there have been 108 white men. you know, mathematician but that seems like an overwhelming majority to me. out of 115, 108 white men. two black men. and five women. four of them, white. one, latino. now, if you do the math, that means zero black women. not one single black woman -- not yet. but the fact -- that fact hasn't stopped republicans, like senator roger wicker from crying, you know, affirmative action. >> the irony is that the supreme court is, at the very same time, hearing cases about -- about this sort of affirmative racial discrimination. and -- and -- and it -- while adding someone who is the beneficiary of -- of the sort of quota. >> these dudes. this sort of quota. what is a quota when there isn't any? you know, quota. senator wicker telling cnn tonight -- and a quote here -- diversity on the court is a wonderful thing, end quote. but seeming to stand by what he said in his interview. so, that's really where we are t

so, you know, i ask ted cruz, then who is qualified? he continues -- he continues to support people -- he supported people on the supreme court. amy coney barrett and a number of folks who i would say are probably not the best supreme court picks, but this is blatant racism on ted cruz's part. >> kurt? >> yeah, i mean, ted cruz is saying the republican party line. people of color, women of color are extreme. they're not to be trusted. you can't trust them with your rights. it's just the ongoing playbook in this overall commitment to their own party to backing overtly racist agenda. this is very straightforward. they're saying the quiet part out loud. they're not trying to mask it. they're saying it for everybody. >> anna, when the president makes his selection for the supreme court, let's just be clear. ted cruz makes it sound like the president announced all these names. by virtue of the fact they're black and female that they are automatically, quote, unquote, radicals, which is beyond ridiculous. but that being said, my question to y

here is a reminder for ted cruz and the rest, the only informal requirement was essentially that they be a white man. since 1789 of the 115 supreme court justices, 108 have been white men. that's about 94%. surely, those republicans know that there aren't any constitutional requirements for being a justice. the person doesn't have to be a lawyer or have a law degree or more than 40% of justices nominated since 1900 didn't have any prior judicial experience but now that a black woman is under consideration, she has to be far superior for a white man to be told tough luck as cruz said. so republicans disingenuous and racists attacks to malign whoever president biden's nominee may be, guaranteed to be far more intelligent than them, y'all are the absolute worst. >>> the waging war against black history, everyone taking on michelle obama's biography. that is next. michelle obama's biography michelle obama's biography that is next and restores by helping heal gums in as little as 7 days. crest. the #1 toothpaste brand in america.

maria: ted cruz told me yesterday that he thinks vladimir putin is trying to re-create the soviet union, i mean, eggs could not be more dangerous right now on a sony france. there is iran, north korea, and then there is china, the hypocrisy of having a weaker athlete from the region carrying the only big flame for china in the opening ceremonies i guess this is trying to make us believe that the uighurs are safe and meanwhile there's a million other uighurs that are right now being punished doing slave labor. china has said that it's committing genocide and has been committing genocide and human right abuses against uighurs for some time. you say xi jinping is using the beijing olympics as a propaganda commercial peer tell us more about that because i know that michael walt's is a saying they would not want his commercial where he called it all out. >> kudos to the congressman michael walt's for trying to do that as he's been a great advocate for the weaker mongol-- muslims and other minorities in china that has been persecuted, i mean, having the weeds are muslim as a torchbearer is ev

you had ted cruz saying, listen to ilhan omar. i fail to see why any journalist reported on shop owner making such an insignificant donation. what does this say about the state of journalism right now? >> joe: wow, when you have ted cruz and ilhan omar, republicans and democrats coming together and saying this is wrong, boy, the state of journalism, talk about trust in media being all-time low, we are well past bias. taking a side and trying to steer an outcome and i don't know what to say, it is chilling, no other way to describe it. >> todd: leave with a joke, seinfeld fans, cramer said he would go watch canadian parliament. you know what i'm talking about. happy belated birthday to you, my friend. >> thank you so much, never opposite day with us, folks, we give the facts. >> carley: now hand over to janice dean with the fox weather forecast. >> janice: you see very cold air and warm air, you know stuff is happening in the atmosphere. cold front moving through, 34 in chicago and temperatures dropping across the central u.s. as t

ted cruz trying to defend the indefensible tonight, telling reporters, i'm quoting here, my take is the press continues to politicize, attack on people engaging in peaceful free speech. there's no doubt there were tens of thousands of people engaged in peaceful free speech that they demonize falsely. like this. >> let me find out, pence. let me find out myself that you treasoned the country. we'll fucking drag your ass, too. >> just last month, ted cruz told the truth, called january 6th a violent terrorist attack and then got his head handed to him on tv by tucker carlson. i digress. there are some republicans standing up for the truth. notably mitt romney. he texted his niece who happens to be chair of the rnc to express his point of view. >> it could not have been a more inappropriate message, one, to sanction two people of character as they did, but number two, to suggest a violent attack on the seat of democracy is legitimate political discourse is so far from accurate as to the shock and make people wonder what we're thinking. >> we're got more on all of this tonight. it comes as

lying ted cruz. >> no energy. >> people bring pistols and he brings a bazooka. he's also shot people, opponents in the political arena, out of the sky with as you said, a more monstrous attack. a bigger sort of arsonal that would not just defeat the enemy in front of him, but overpower everything else. i think what's so uncomfortable is that institutions, news organizations, grapple with whether to call what he was saying lies. so while we're trying to figure it out, he's just lying his way to seal up his base to not believe anybody but him. and this asymmetry continues. i think he's now conditions his base to not believe in elections. elections now do not matter and that's where liz cheney seems to be drawing the line and bringing out an equally large arsonal by saying he's going to get away with nothing. not potential violations of the records act, not potential records tampering, not potential efforts to overthrow an election. she's going for the whole package, which no one's done. people said he's obstructed justice. but we have got long books that say we ca

senator ted cruz thinks it's fun to tweet out tips for riding out another winter storm in texas, and jokes about inflation saying plane tickets to cancun are up 32%. ted cruz could invoke winston churchill, keep calm and carry on, people might ask first class or coach. rudy giuliani taped "the mask singer," the season is themed, the good, the bad and the cuddly, maybe do a rendition of shaggy's hit "it wasn't me," did you try to overturn the election, it wasn't me. did crow incite a riot, twit wasn't me. were you caught at four seasonings landscaping, it wasn't me. it was not even an original stunt as sarah palin has already done the same show. but perhaps nothing sinks as low as this. on friday, the republican national committee mformally censured two of its own. the rnc describes the attack on the capitol as quote legitimate political discourse. there was nothing legitimate about it. this is way worse than a violation of 11th commandment, thousand shall not speak ill of a fellow republican. this is a national embarrassment if one of the two parties is embracing violence as legitima

cruz and ted cruz is calling biden's promise to appoint a black woman to the court offensive. he did this on his podcast. other than cruz, i don't know, trying to get some attention and his name in the mix here speaking out about this, what are he and other republicans doing here with this, what are they doing? >> race is an incredibly powerful motivator for the republican party base right now. it is the very effective to use race to rile up their voters who believe that they are themselves the non-white part of the republican base being discriminated against and that's why you see so many republicans willing to villainize just the concept of the black woman on the supreme court as if all the white men and others who came before them were not the beneficiaries and preferences. also, what susan collins said about ronald reagan is just not the case, it's the exact same thing. he promised in a campaign he would put a woman on the supreme court and he did that, and that's exactly what joe biden is doing here when it comes to black women. >> thank you guys both, great to see you. >

ted cruz calling for a federal investigation of the ground funding site gofundme. that after it shut down a fundraiser for those truckers protesting canada's vaccine mandates. joining states that file an investigation. welcome to fox news live. >> hi, eric. hi, everyone. gofundme says it pulled the fundraising page for the group called freedom convoy over violation they said they would refund all donors automatically. attorney general in at least five states announced plans to investigate the company. brian is live in the newsroom with more details. >> ted cruz wrote a letter to the federal trade commission calling on the fcc to open an investigation into gofundme for unfair or deceptive business practices after the fundraising company withheld $10 million worth of donations to the so-called freedom convoy of canadian truckers. >> when people gave money, they gave money under the promise that it would go to the freedom convoy, not to whatever left-wing ideology gofundme and other silicon valley companies support. they are deceiving consumers and it is wrong. eric:

and when the going gets tough, ted cruz gets going. [ laughter ] to cancun. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well. again, not so good news for the trump family today. first of all, according to a new poll more republicans side with mike pence when it comes to whether or not he could have done anything to change the outcome of the election. which is exciting because it's the first time mike pence has won anything since the westminster dog show. [ laughter ] only 36% of republicans take trump's side. 52% side with pence. which is funny because how sad is it that we now live in a world where we hear slightly less than half of republicans are crazy and we're like, hey, good news. [ laughter ] but that's nothing compared to what happened in a new york court, supreme court. a judge today, ruled that donald trump, ivanka trump, and don jr. will have to sit for depositions as part of the attorney general's investigation into their family business and whether or not they committed fraud. i bet trump gets five seconds into that deposition before he shouts "it was eric!" [ laughter ] the judge

you do have some republicans like ted cruz prizing joe biden at how he's doling out sanctions. then you have people like josh hawley inside the republican party who are essentially spouting russian talking points, asking why should americans go and fight the russians over in ukraine when that's never going to happen. so this is just not the party of ronald reagan anymore. it's the party of donald trump and the party of appeasement. >> jim acosta, thank you very much. more breaking news we're following in "the situation room," ivanka trump in talks with the house january 6th select committee about appearing for an interview, what she could reveal potentially about the capitol siege. long day, huh?

senator ted cruz, the key committee that will have to clear the nominee is calling the president's promise discrimination. i would like to get your response to that. >> throughout history, presidents have made it clear when they want to make sure there's diversity on the bench and diversity on the bench meaning it will reflect the american people. there were presidents who when they were replacing someone like thurgood marshall, they wanted to have an african-american, that's how clarence thomas got on the board. when amy coney barrett was nominated, former president trump made it clear that he wanted to have a woman replace rbg. it is not at all sort of out of the context of history for a president to say that he wants to have a certain type of representation on the bench. and let's remember, that black women in particular, for a long period, for hundreds of years in this country were locked out of being a supreme court justice just because they were black women. so it is not a coincidence that a black woman has never served on the supreme court. i think ted cruz probably understands that

we will hear from a group of republican congressional candidates and speeches by senator ted cruz, of texas. and senator josh hawley of missouri. >> ladies and gentlemen, this is the power play. please welcome former alaska commissioner kelly trunk. -- kelly. ♪ >> thank you, i am kelly. i was born and raised in alaska. the woke leftists tried to cancel me before there was cancel culture. when i wasn't outspoken conservative at a liberal law school, leftists posted death threats against me in the student center. but they could not cancel me. i won't be bullied, i won't be silenced, and i will be controlled. [applause] but make no mistake, the radical progressives want to wipe out diversity of thought. a nation divided will not stand. our founders created a government designed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. government is supposed to function like the referees of a football field. they regular the place and call fouls. right now, we have 700 referees on the field. they are fouling us all over the place. when government grows, freedom shrinks. for me, this has b

you have senator josh hawley ted cruz is gonna run again and the ones that will everybody i mentioned mentioned is not running if trump's in so if trump will if trump comes in that'll be it. so i think that he's maneuvering that way. i think that i just think when you talk about next generation to answer your question, sir, that's like seven or eight guys do stuff the top of my head. i think there's a lot of people that came out of the trump administration to have so much promise and i think mike pence did a great job. he's a fine. i'm person one of finest people. i will ever meet. and i think that he would get our country right direction. and you know, he does is very hard to hate mike pence. yeah, no, he's great person. so i'm just saying you have a lot of talent in there 40s and 50s and josh holly's cases 30s. we're on the left. i think the reason why jill biden is even president right now is because bernie sanders could not get elected one is 80 and one's about to turn 78 so their next generation's got to show themselves, but their next generations represented by 93 people in the
