she was giving her victory speech and that was the night that ted cruz. be better or work and and that those results were playing in the background as she was giving her acceptance speech and she stopped her speech. and she was like we're gonna we're gonna turn texas in a generation. in this generation and when you watch what she the way she handled ted cruz during the failure of the electric grid last winter. when texans were freezing to death and ted cruz was going to to mexico on vacation with his family you all remember this. she didn't say anything directly to cruise. she merely raised. i don't know two million dollars five million dollars. i can't remember the number exactly just like a gigantic amount of money overnight. for texans who were freezing because there was no electricity and then she flew down to texas in the middle of the pandemic and gave out sandwiches and stuff. and you just think like the the images and the power that she was able to exert on this particular issue was so focused. and so aware of all of the optics what it was going t

look, i can tell you that ted cruz strategist is jeffrey. a guy at the very top of the game on the republican side. hard to imagine this is what he wants ted cruz to be campaigning on right now. i think that a lot of these guys get caught up in what is happening in right-wing media. what is happening with the base. that interview by ted cruz was on a right-wing media outlet. they want to retweets. they want the engagement from the more extreme parts of the party. and they are really cutting off their nose despite their face, in a mid term that should be good for them if they are focusing on economic issues. >> well, he is going to get the engagement from all over this country. and you can focus on economic issues, because again, this is a complicated economic environment. and as you coined the term, it is an annoying economy. one that is recovering. after a devastating pandemic. tim miller, thank you. coming up, texas state senator roland gutierrez joins us. he is demanding more oversight in investigating the uvalde shooting. we will ask him

cruz, you are bringing ted cruz in again. >> yes, it is interesting and context is important because he, this is happening, this ad came out during the time, when there was a rampant mass shootings, right? there was a texas shooting and buffalo and i think the context really matters, i am curious, jason, who is easier to prank in your experience? conservatives or liberals? >> well, i would say we have an easier time i guess blending in, and getting involved in some of the conservative evidence, and also, there is just kind of a disconnect with reality with some of the people we talk to. on the far right, right now. and, that i guess is right for comedy, unfortunately, sadly, we will talk to people that believe some pretty out there conspiracy theories. so, i would definitely say the right but that is not to say that we haven't had some fun with people on the left. i love that andrew yang prank and sincerely asking him for money. there is fun to be had on both sides. >> i think the buttondowns and the khaki pants put us, you know, pretty squarely in the conservative crowd there. we do

she did not have to say anything to or about ted cruz. she could just do this and have everybody watching. it was an incredibly effective use of her power. both in terms of raising money and motivating her especially with the media feed to a cause. she can pick a politician and raise money for them. it is an incorruptible toolkit. >> i would say to that she is very conscious of the limitations of trying to change her colleagues. she has said before this was in the other country in the world did not have a two-party system somebody like joe biden and her would not be in the same party. she can only push her colleague so far. what she can do however to make things more accepted. something like the brand-new deal when biden estimated these committees over the 2020 election to come up with plans she was the environmental committee were john kerry and the plan that came out of it was like the brand-new deal without the name brand-new deal. she is trying to make this more popular in order to push someone like maybe this is the type we want to i

it's not clear where ted cruz is getting some of the arguments he's making. i posted and retweeted on my twitter account a much of tweets from jamie dupree. if people take a look at this, it's obvious there's something going on here that's not what ted cruz is saying. it sounds like it's chuck schumer not having managed the calendar in a way he previously agreed to. he doesn't seem to be bringing to the floor a vote to protect marriage equality. he also hasn't brought to the floor a bill that would deal with gas prices and targeting the saudi oil cartel. that's standing out here if you look at what jamie has tweeted. >> another vote on this is scheduled on monday and it's expected to pass tomorrow. oliver, let's look at a front page story in the "new york times" and "washington post." both papers highlighting fox news and donald trump. they had a mutually benefit relationship, but it's changing. they're pointing out that fox news didn't show donald trump's big return to d.c. speech live. i counted 17 minutes of mike pence's speech, 0 minutes at fox. when i ca

joe manchin is 1,000 times better in the united states senate than another josh hawley or ted cruz. so while we may have some disagreements, it's important to recognize that he's still a vote for a lot of the initiatives that are for working class people and we have our disagreements. the reality is i think senator manchin, when he talks about deficit reduction, we can't keep putting things on the credit card, those are important discussions for us to have. just because i'm a democrat -- we've got to balance the budge. we have deficits. even though they're coming down, these are long-term problems. just like the environment, we've got to steward the environment to the next generation. we can't put all this on the credit card and give it to the next generation. interest rates are going up. so if you're concerned about investing into programs that are important to lift people up and reinvest and help us outcompete china, there's going to be less of that money if we're paying huge interest rates on the debt that we've run up so this is a legitimate thing. i appreciate that senate manch

you mentioned ted cruz. what is his reason for not wanting to be on these trips? guest: it is members of congress who have professed ideological purity they want to show they are pushing back on the other party, they are fighters, they are not engaged in the traditional dealmaking in washington that has failed the american people over a number of decades. i think the main criticism from people on the left and the right who do not go on these codels is they are not invited, and two they are not willing to engage or entertain the give-and-take compromise often required for going on these trips and for getting things done outside of those trips. senators tillis and murphy came together on a once in a generation gun violence bill. if tillis and murphy were entrenched in their respective camps on this issue and were not interested in dealing with the other side and making a deal and were very distrustful of the other side, maybe legislation would not have gotten done on that front. they both leave it was in the interest of the country in the interest of themselves on a

what do senators like marco rubio, ted cruz even gain from standing in the way? >> well, you know, it certainly appears that the votes are going to be there. it's very encouraging to see the representatives -- house of representatives the 40 that did vote in favor of the respect for marriage act. individuals like liz cheney, whose views have evolved on the issue, and then you have representatives like nancy mace, who have been strong on this issue from the outset. as we go to the senate, you're seeing senators like tom tell us and joni ernst who are signaling their support for this. i do think there's a chance, and i think this is a real opportunity for the republican party to prove that they mean with they say when they say they're the party of the family. they are the party of the family? or are they part of the family 's, where the parties that they approve of? >> here's what the nebraska senator -- had to say about the bill. >> i don't think there's any concern. i think there's nancy pelosi stoking culture wars. because that's what she does, she doesn't have

. >>> republican senator ted cruz is picking a fight with another sesame street muppet. this time it's elmo. it's over a video encouraging covid vaccinations for children under the age of 5. >> daddy has super bandages like elmo. >> you were so super today. getting your covid vaccine, elmo. >> yeah. there was a little punch, but it was okay. >> that was a public service announcement. senator cruz is picking a fight with the covid shot for elmo who has been 3 1/2 years old since 1984. the senator claiming the public service announcement is aggressive and provides zero evidence of the efficacy of the shot. his last feud was with big bird over covid vaccines spoofed by snl. joining me, dr. patel. i see you have elmo there with you in case elmo wants to respond as well. all jokes aside, covid cases in children account for nearly 19% of u.s. cases. why don't we tell senator cruz what are the facts are about the efficacy of the shots. >> absolutely. i have elmo here to keep me honest. elmo likes t use the facts. here are the facts. we have had over 400 deaths in the under 4 ag

that's why i support my friend ted cruz has introduced a constitutional amendment that would lock in in at 9:00 and like wholeheartedly support it. ted cruz, by the way, not a nickelback fan somebody unfairly accused him of that a few years ago and ever since then i felt the need to defend him on that point but being a texan he has to be a buddy holly exactly exactly. i do think that one of the things that could be on the chopping block. in addition to row is the legal framework that has given this unfettered rain to the federal administrative system the administrative law system. and so i i suspect that could be part of it. it's not just row. it's also it's also their ongoing progressive commitment to the erosion of both federalism and separation of powers. and by the way those deviated from in lockstep they both occurred together. that's why i pinpoint the deviation from federalism and the deviation from separation of powers. i trace it all back to april 12 1937 because you can't deviate from one without deviating from the other and if you took steps to restore either one you would

>> well, i'm afraid it's not just ted cruz. but it was the justices themselves, several of them who said that they don't think oegergefeld, the same-sex case should be respected as precedent. justice thomas has attacked obergfeld and cases in texas involve same-sexing same-sex intimacy, i haven't heard him attack intimacy, but it is all part of the same fabric, when a certain kind of christian believer says you're not supposed to act in a certain way, the people who uphold that belief can get states on their side to impose coercion. and when you have people imposing their beliefs coercively, we're in trouble. one of the things that justice kavanaugh and justice thomas and some of the other justices did in particular justice alito in the majority opinion in dobbs, he cites sort of robert hale in support of his view, robert hale was a 17th century thinker who believed that women should be burned as witches, i'm not saying that this court will go that far but a court who treats that as part of the original meaning of the constitut
