year ago, he was leading the effort to overturn the election on january 6th. by last february, he was fully supine. and you know what? there are a whole lot of voices in washington that want to just erase the last four years. want to go back to the world before, and they look at donald j. trump, and they look at the millions and millions of people inspired, who went to battle fighting alongside president trump and they are terrified. and they want him to go away let me tell you this right now, donald j. trump ain t going anywhere. so yeah, ted cruz has the spine of a cantaloupe. now, remember the time that he blamed his daughters as the reason he was quickly trying to get on a plane to mexico for vacation during the state s power crisis? yesterday, my daughter asked if they could take a trip with some friends and heidi and i agreed so i flew down with them last night.
happened in january 6th was extremely or very violent? overall, across everybody, it s 64 prgs. but only 39% of republicans believe that. but then i think you can go even deeper to get to the real fringes of the republican party and the trump voters and you essentially ask was there pretty much any violence that was committed? or did everyone act peacefully? and look at that. yeah, vast majority of trump voters say there were some injured police officers at 72 but 23% a substantial portion of trump voters say that everyone acted peacefully. i don t know what they need to see. the proof is right there in the pudding yet a quarter of them somehow do not believe there were, in fact, some violent folks on january 6th. just lastly looking ahead to 2024, where do things stand between the former president and senator cruz? yeah, donald trump is in a very good position. he is north of 50% of the republican vote right now. by my estimate, look at ted cruz. he is just at 3% but perhaps if
president. but all the same, remember when candidate trump insulted his wife s looks? i don t get angry often. but you mess with my wife, mess with my kids, that will do it every time. donald, you are a coward and leave heidi the hell alone. the former president also insinuated cruz s father was involved in president kennedy s assassination, among other false claims and insults and remember recently he said running for president and losing was like the greatest experience of his life, the most fun he had in years? don t think it s that found for his wife. cruz stood firm, then crumbled. year ago, he was leading the effort to overturn the election on january 6th. by last february, he was fully supine. and you know what? there are a whole lot of voices in washington that want to just erase the last four years. want to go back to the world

hold on. what you just said doesn t make sense. so, tucker, let me answer you directly. the reason i used that word for a decade, i have referred to people who violently assault police officers as terrorists. i have done so over and over and over, again. if you look at all the assaults we have seen across the count i have called that terrorism over and over, again. that being said, tucker, i agree with you. itself a mistake to say that yesterday and the reason is what you just said which is we have now had a year of democrats and the media twisting words, and trying to say that all of us are terrorists. backs in the corner. tucker giving that quizzical look he practices so hard. and then, he had to he did the twist, hoping that by blaming the media, blaming democrats, carlson would get back on his side. didn t work. according to cnn s daniel dale, ted cruz called the capitol assault a terrorist attack at least 17 previous times in official written statements, and tweets, and rema
