Sen. Ted Cruz warns about looming court-packing battle; reaction from 'Fox & Friends' weekend cohost Will Cain.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
The court is,
the court is
wrong.
It is an abusive of power, I
believe, should they win in
November that our democratic
colleagues will pack the court
thats the next fight we are
facing. If Democrats win the
majority,
I hope that we dont see that
come to pass
Brian wow, Senator TED Cruz
warning Republicans of a looming
fight. They may face over court
packing. If Democrats take
control of the Senate.
Our next guest says this is a
warning. We should take
seriously
watching them over the weekend
and watching them. On this
Thursday weekend CO host will
Cain.
He said it out loud rumored in
the halls Democrats dont want
to answer it.
Why is it important for
Republicans to face it
important for two reasons?
Brian first TIM Cruzs warning
is true.
He has declined every one of
those opportunities to say he
wont pack, the court
in my mind, a tacit admission
that it will be a tactic of the
Democratic Party should they
lose and Amy Coney Barrett is
confirmed to pack the court.
I think cruise is spot on in his
prediction,
but there is something more
important Brian. You know what
makes the United States great
its ideas founding ideas and
process
thats more important than the
outcomes in this country.
We made this great play. We
played this play in one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six by
staying true to our ideals,
staying true to our processes.
It would maintain long term
prosperity but more important
Brian. It would protect us from
a tyrant that would come along
some say day.
I want to you think about what
the Democratic Party has
embraced over the last couple of
years by embracing black lives
matter. They rejected some of
those ideals like individualism
and merit openly
anybody that doubts that look at
what black lives matter
espouses.
We are rejecting our founding
ideals.
What more, when we look at the
rejection of con sepghtsd like
due process constitutionalism,
you just got a three day course
in how the left finds their
policies more important than
constitutional procedure,
and when we see that court pack
something yet another rejection
of that process, Brian we are
rejecting. At least the
Democratic Party is not just
our founding ideals, but our
processes.
What comes next!
Why is this so important?
What comes next? This sets us up
for a tyrant to come along and
take advantage of all of this
rejection,
rejection of our ideas and
processes no projection when the
tie rabbit comes
Brian, at least have the courage
to admit what you are going to
do.
Why play it coy?
Why are you saying im going to
hold my cards and then im going
to shock you and do something
that even drew backlash to the
most powerful executive at the
time?
Maybe in recent memory, FDR in
one thousand, nine hundred and thirty. Seven
meanwhile lets pivot and talk
about one of the most disturbing
elements from a story that
emerged from the New York Post
acquiring the emails of Hunter
Biden, which indicates that Joe
Biden knew about his interaction
with the Ukraine which he was
running.
He had that in his portfolio
and now this new news about a
China deal,
the story comes out.
People wants to share it
and what happened?
Well? What happened? Is it
suppressed Brian openly? You
know, admittedly, manipulating
what we are allowed to see,
think and read
again, give a small point and
bigger more important point:
the small point, as you heard you
and Steve and Ainsley talking
about earlier internet companies
that pretend to be platforms but
make editorial decisions about
what people will see and read,
are in fact publishers
and they should lose protection
from section two hundred and thirty of the
communication Decency ACT.
That is obvious at this point,
but thats really, honestly again,
the smaller point,
look Brian you host a morning
show
I do
this. One on the weekends
were happy.
We have a good time,
so forgive me a for a minute if
im just completely outraged at
the blatant manipulation taking
place.
I feel like im being told here,
take the blue pill,
its not just a New York Post
story that we are not allowed to
read
its any CDC information or any
contrarian information on
coronavirus.
No, no! No.
We are going to suppress that as
well, which Facebook and Twit
remember doing
its Webster, changing the
definition of sexual preference
in a 24 hour time frame once it
comes up in a Supreme Court
confirmation hearing
something they never had for
years, leading up to that, but in
twenty four hours, all of the sudden, its
an offensive term because Mazie
Hirono said it was
every time I turn around Brian.
I know because im being openly
manipulated,
I am being spun
im being told. Take the blue
pill.
Forgive me im a little outraged
at this point.
I dont know what the end goal
is. I dont know what the lies
and manipulation are about.
Is it just simply an election?
I will tell you this big tech
is showing their hands. They are
taking off the mask.
We have to ask ourselves: what is
it we wants?
Do we want to make up our own
minds?
Read our own information,
decide what we believe or be
manipulated
openly honestly manipulated to
choose and takes the blue pill.
This is outrageous. Brian
Brian right,
all I can say is just for people
out there. We are, America is
not all sheep
if you want some evidence of it.
Look at the size of the crowds
in North Carolina.
Look at the size of the crowds
in Orlando.
Look at the size of the crowds
in Iowa.
The presidents message is not
being scwechesd all across
America.
Its just maybe the Cyber
America
weve have to see will
really quick. We are not all
sheep now they are yelling at us.
Follow instructions, sheep,
Brian thats, true,
in fact, in my ear they are
telling me wrap up the segment
as much as they like will Cain.
There are other guests.
