Summary

Ted Cruz is taking his kids on a family vacation and the media is trying to get mad at him for it. I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon. They should focus on people in power who can actually affect change in a crisis, not people who work and legislate from D.C. It's a double standard we'll always have to live up to, but let's be real, I'm happy to call out someone, even the people on our side, if they screw up. It doesn't matter who they are, it matters what they do and how they do it, and I'm here to call them out on it. I don't care what you do, I just care that they don't get to do the things they should be doing, and that they aren't doing the things that matter, and they're not getting to do what they should do, and we should be mad at them for it, not the people who do them, and not the ones who are in power, and the politicians who don't have the balls to do something about it. It just makes no sense to me, and it's a ridiculous double standard that needs to be called out. I'll talk about it in this episode, and tweet me what I think about it! Tweet me if you think it's ridiculous!

Transcript

00:00:00.000 Guys, we got to talk Ted Cruz a little bit.
00:00:02.000 I see the news going out there right now.
00:00:04.000 They're trying to cancel him.
00:00:06.000 He took a family vacation.
00:00:07.000 Now, obviously, we understand sometimes the optics of that right now isn't ideal.
00:00:15.000 But in the grand scheme of things, he's a senator.
00:00:20.000 He doesn't manage crises in states.
00:00:22.000 That's a governor's job.
00:00:23.000 He's a federal employee.
00:00:25.000 They mostly vote on things.
00:00:27.000 So, you know, I'm not going to jump on this bandwagon of trying to cancel the guy for taking his kids on a vacation.
00:00:35.000 Again, maybe it's not the ideal time.
00:00:37.000 Quite certainly it's not.
00:00:39.000 But, like, give me a break.
00:00:41.000 That they're spending more time focusing on this than they are You know, governors just flagrantly disregarding their executive orders shutting down states, etc.
00:00:52.000 Shows you how ridiculous things are.
00:00:54.000 Now, if I were a Trump, which I am, you know, I'd come up with a nickname for something like this, like maybe, I don't know, Cancun Cruz.
00:01:04.000 It's funny, okay?
00:01:06.000 But like, honestly, I can't get on this bandwagon trying to cancel the guy.
00:01:12.000 It's totally ridiculous.
00:01:13.000 It's absolutely absurd.
00:01:15.000 They should focus on the things that matter.
00:01:17.000 They should focus on people in power who could actually affect change in a crisis, not people who work and legislate from D.C. Doesn't make sense.
00:01:26.000 It's a double standard we'll always have to live up to, but let's be real.
00:01:31.000 I'm happy to call out someone, even the people on our side, if they screw up.
