Ted Cruz podcast payments raising 'serious' ethical, legal questions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2024
- “Not only is Ted Cruz's podcasting habit weird-and I think a little insulting to the 30 million Texans he represents-it also appears to be a serious ethical and campaign finance scandal in the making,” says Chris Hayes.

#MSNBC #TedCruz #podcast
Always remember...If you insult Ted's wife and family, he'll campaign for you when you run for president.
Remember when kamala called Joe an old racist and he made her his VP? Good times
Me is an American man. I never be voting for Democrats until Trump and now I vote for the Biden and democracy.
Oh but you must be a MAGA megalomaniac as well... don't forget that little tidbit.
Another fake account. Are all these fakes the same person?
@@Gabedudley1 Yeah, they are. You can tell because they all talk to each other and get the same number of likes. The guy can't even friggin' speak English so it's most likely a paid foreigner
This is one of the many reasons not to vote Republican! Another morally depleted Senator!
"...morally depleted..."
More a complete lack of a moral compass.
"depleted" implies that there was a time when he had some morals ... that never happened.
The greatest honor I’ve had as an American, was helping to vote Trump out of office.
🆘 The start of kangaroo court proceedings in the Manhattan Supreme Court marks the first-ever criminal trial of a U.S. president. It will go down in infamy as a total biased scam. This is a dangerous attack on the rule of law and a total attempt to rig the 2024 elections for President Biden and Democrats. Judicial Watch denounces Alvin Bragg’s corrupt attempt to make former president Donald Trump a political prisoner.
Mr. Trump committed no crimes, and this is a prosecution about nothing. These and other Democratic Party political prosecutions of Trump are an abomination under law and are destabilizing to our nation. If this type of biased prosecution in our court system continues because of bias, DAs and prosecutors a fair impartial justice system in the US will no longer exist.
That's called TDS
The era of Donald Trump's presidency was undoubtedly the epitome of foolishness in American history. Please, vote blue.
@@Toekneepowers
TDS == Trump Dependency Syndrome:
The cursed affliction that plagues Trump's supporters.
Symptoms include (but not limited to): willful ignorance, lack of comprehension, anti-social behavior.
How noble. And I thought losing 3 limbs in Vietnam qualified
Always whining. Trump has never stopped in almost 80 years. Biggest loser vibe in American political history.
He took naps as his President's Time on his schedule, because he was always up to 3 am dementia tweeting. The only thing he hasn't actually stopped in about 60+ years is bloviating and outright lying about even things that it doesn't make sense to lie about.
Why do you all have fake accounts?
@@Gabedudley1 why do you love RAPO DON!?
@@TTownTim its not about him unless your a totally brain washed liberal. Wake up already
That's joe.
Support Colin Allred to kick cancun cruz to the curb.
ABSOLUTELY
One finger salute to all of those on the right! FDT!
We'll be lucky to still be a country after joe is out.
There is no end to the grift
@@Trump2Prison since no indictment has been handed to Cruz, doesn’t seem likely, yet.
Boy, do we ever need to redefine campaign finance laws.
the fact ted cruz has a podcast is an indictment of our times..
Why? Literally anyone can have a podcast.
oh look - dave is talking in the mirror again.
@@FreedaPeeple-in2mn mmmhmmm
Actually the fact that it bothers you that much is hilarious 😅
The fact that Joe Biden running a country is beyond belief.
"Ted Cruz is Lucifer in the flesh"
- John Boehner
That would mean he is your favorite.
ted drop to number 2 trump got the number 1 lucifer spot.
Joe Biden the devil in disguise letting killers and murderers into the country 😂😂
This would be the only time I agree with John Boehner.
"If Ted Cruz was murdered on the floor of the Senate, and the trial of his assassin were held in the Senate,...he wouldn't be convicted" -lindsey Graham
Yep, if it's unethical and probably illegal, there's gonna be a rethuglican nearby. Uh, Ted?
The same guy that don’t blame guns but blame unlocked door for school shootings comes to find out he gets the most donation by the NRA then any other republican 😒
Our little teddy is doing something unethical, possibly illegal 🥸 that can’t be true🤬🤦♀️
We all need to come out and VOTE.
Get your family and friends to VOTE.
VOTE President Biden 2024.
VOTE Blue 💙 🗳 ☑️
Cruz “the Ooze” has dubious ethics quite certainly.
As a black man I will support the guy with 81 years behind him over the guy with 91 criminal charges in front of him.
Well said
Things change.
As a man (and I happen to be white) I salute your intelligence, and fully agree.
I is an America man. Dallas Cowboys and apple pie I like very much. See? I voting for Biden and be happy for days. Giving the love to democrat and much anger for Trump and the MAGA.
1 year old impersonation account. 🤣🤣
Please good folks of Texas, vote Cruz OUT. What has he done for you in all the years he’s been representing you? TX has a chance of gaining some respect back. 🙏🙏🙏
Will Mexico take him?
No
Cuba might be a better fit for Cruz. 😎
What a creep he is.
Truth and Courage PAC is the exact opposite of Cruz’s behavior.
When considering the financial arrangements of Ted Cruz's podcast be sure to remember that Ted Cruz is an eel wearing a human face and then another eel's face over that.
Ted Cruz more resembles a Blob Fish when clean shaven. When he touts his facial hair he is spot on a dead ringer for an African Warthog. Eel is a great description as too his slimy, slippery character.
There's that.
You disparage eels. I prefer the term slime worm.
Not the comfy chair! Monty Python should sue.
Oh come on Chris, it's great that you expose this but we all know that nothing will happen.
Just like with your boy "Gold Bar Bobby Menendez"
@@anthonyemering3234 au contraire, if he’s found guilty (you know he and his wife have court dates set, right ?) I hope he gets the maximum; public officials deserve to be made an example of.
@richard: If you want something to happen, then contribute to Collin Allred's campaign! He's a stellar human being (pro football player turned lawyer and congressman, and unlike Herschel Walker, he's incredibly bright) but he's trailing Cancun Cruz in the polls, because Texans are morons.
@@anthonyemering3234
If he's guilty then he gets what's coming to him.
Too bad you old timers don't have the same feeling for your boy Trump.
Yes, why are all those stories breaking through from the media ? Where is the DOJ ?
Supreme Court will fix that for Ted.
Did Cruz begin a podcast because Fox, OAN, and Newsmax don't want him?
He sounds highly irate that he has been caught and called out. Not surprised.
Everybody hates him, yet he keeps getting elected. Until now, hopefully. Colin Allred (D) would be a great replacement and addition to the U.S. Senate.
Follow the money, it's always about the money with these Grifter's.
Good show thank you for bringing this to our attention 💙
I'm sorry, Truth and Courage? Ted Cruz demonstrates neither.
I hope the people of Texas are looking at Ted,he doesn't seem to really care about anyone but Ted 🤷💙💙💙💙
Don't forget who we're the ones that overturn Roe versus Wade, whether pro-choices is on the ballot or not is irrelevant, "Women of America" if you want your rights back, not to mention keeping their freaking hands off of our social security, healthcare, our kids entitlements, Vote straight ticket Democrat. 100%
Biden /Harris 2024
Help Cruz's opponent WIN in Nov. Collin Allred is an amazing person: pro football player turned lawyer and congressman (and unlike Herschel Walker, he's incredibly smart). Earlier polls showed him beating sleazy ted, but current ones don't. We all need to send him a few bucks.
@@JJ21210 👍🏽 100%
You had me on the floor with The “truth and courage” pac 😂😂😂
Here's the questions that need answering. Who does Ted's Super Cac employ aka what family members, friends associates of Ted Cruz does this Super Pac pay a salary and expenses to???? And how much are trey being paid for what ?????
Colin Allred (D) has a lot of financial support and people freaking like him. Support Colin Allred and make Cancun Cruz a full time podcaster. Got to get control of Texas away from the fascists.
I missed him at the cancun airport by mere minutes. He would have gotten an earful from me.
Is Teddy planning to take another trip to Mexico when his people are counting on him. Where is Ted.
Why are you crying
Aoc is planning many more trips to Florida.
EVERYTHING Ted Cancun Cruz does raises serious ethical, legal questions!
"Cancun Ted" Cruz raises serious ethical and legal questions even without a paying podcast.
Like all the gop fascists in Texas; including the governor and the AG.
Four more years pause.
I KNOW where I would SHOVE that 🌵 cactus in the picture !😂
Good reporting Chris
How come politian violated law but no indictment ? Are they above the law, the drifters.
It's Texas {aka Howdy Arabia}, the fascists are in charge. Phucqueing Abbott, Paxton, Cruz and all the gop pols.
Cruz licks lead paint.
Its silly he has a saguaro cactis behind him on his podcast and those don't even grow in Texas.
That podcast is the only job he is going to have, and he's known it for a while.🤗
Help make that true by helping Cruz's opponent WIN in Nov. Collin Allred is an amazing person: pro football player turned lawyer and congressman (and unlike Herschel Walker, he's incredibly smart). Earlier polls showed him beating sleazy ted, but current ones don't. We all need to send him a few bucks.
Exactly
investigate this propriety. Litigate or updates to rules that apply
Love love that your headline uses the word 'ethical' and 'Cruz' together. Fabulous!
"Truth and Courage PAC"?! Ahahahahaha. Neither of those words can even be associated with Ted Cruz.
You are correct!
Texas, be better at being normal.
Oh wow, I'm shocked.
Yeah like anything will happen to him from this????
Support his opponent Colin Allred, and make Cancun Cruz a full time podcaster.
Bill Murray need to cut it out
Can you do a segment on Pelosi's record on stock trading?
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!?!?
Sleazy as ever 🤢
I hope her words stand up in court.
So why isn't the Senate looking at this?
When is there going to be consequences for what is essentially criminal.
Everything about him must raise questions.
Deplorable. 🙄
Is there someone "honest" in the Republican party??🤷♀️
No
Thats why maga is replacing them. Too bad dems dont stand up against their party. Just conform like 🐑
There were, e.g. Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, etc., but their Constitutional understandings, honesty, courage to speak facts and not be a part of bullied total block votings recently disqualified them from remaining recognized as Republicans by their own party. Would be proud to have each join us Democrats, as we welcome diverse rational honest viewpoints thinking a compromised solution is the best.
Canada's greatest export, for Canada.
“Please vote for the guy who called my wife ugly”
If they aren't corrupt they are not Republican.
Like all the book deals these people get are honest.
I am having trouble watching Chris Hayes because he sounds so much like Tucker Carlson.
This smells very fishy to me... volunteers his time...right... whatever..notice he didn't answer the ? ... Slimy Ted Cruz
Supreme Court Justice receive lobbiest donations/ money in the same way
Oh Teddy 🧸.. you're done...... vote 💙..
Answer the question teddy .
How can he walk with no spine.
what did he do for us. Please name ONE!
Lock him up
iHeart! The same people behind The Breakfast Club. Makes sense now!
Cruse will be going to jail 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cruz seems to have gained a lot of weight.
He needs to get his a$$ out of that chair. 😁
And other Congressmen don't make money on the side?
And The Verdict is?
SCOTUS as a constant?
Plus
Landscaper Cad Pap
Landscaper Cap Pad
Isn't Texas suffering a lot of weather-related damage right now?
I thought Teddy would be in Cancun.
Now Ted. I know what PAC stands for. Have you forgotten?
More hypocrisy from the Republicant Party. I hate the I-Heart Radio, but some of my favorite shows are only available on the monopoly called I-Heart Radio and that sucks.
Have you tried Pandora or Spotify? That's who I listen to music through
She jingled his jangle making him very nervous. Isn't that just like Cruzzy to avoid all answers.
They cling to each other to pass by the law by their party. So they are ganters with permission.
GOD BLESS OUR SUPREME COURT
He turned into a Newt. Take the money and run. Podcast bucks, instead of a suspect, book deal.
The Truth (and we use that phrase lightly) and Courage (well...we can't justify that one at all) PAC.
Lol, who is seriously listening to Ted Cruzs podcast?
You guys are truly smart. Thank you for your hilarious comments. As he gets his plug in. Truly intelligent.
I honestly thought he had already left politics to become a pundit.
"Truth and Courage" huh? I don't suppose Ted Cruz was consciously cynical when he coined that name?
One thing that one would be hard pressed to find on "Truth Social" or "Truth and Courage" is any semblance of the truth.
GOP QUALIFICATIONS - No shame - questionable integrity
How dare a republican do that ??
So. A Senator or a podcaster. Not much of either one.
Heidi doesn’t mind if Ted has to work late or even work away.
Money spent on trips to Mexico could be better spent.
No wonder he's able to up and run off to Cancun while his state is in a crisis.
Was the Senate in session when he did that? I don’t like that phony, but I don’t see what he could have possibly done. I would’ve left too.
@@reason6835 That isn't a reason to leave your dog behind to freeze.
@@daviddrake5991: His dog froze?
@@reason6835 Ted had no intention of coming back until he went on the internet.
Stop calling him "Ted". His LEGAL name is Rafael according to his CANADIAN birth certificate.
I always hated Cruz, and I hate that he’s the one who represents my state
He’s a terrible man 👨
So get him out! Help Cruz's opponent WIN in Nov. Collin Allred is an amazing person: pro football player turned lawyer and congressman (and unlike Herschel Walker, he's incredibly smart). Earlier polls showed him beating sleazy ted, but current ones don't. We all need to send him a few bucks.
Well, you have another chance to get rid of him this year.
Taking his cue from uk conservatives on talktv and gbnews
I’m sure the people of Texas are going to use this against his reelection!!
I think Colin Allred can kick Cancun Cruz to the curb. It would be great to have another democratic U.S. Senator.
I can’t imagine a more obvious and in-your-face coordination with a superpac than this.
So boycott iheart?
