Ted Cruz with Fred Hofmann

natural next question and is when have you ever stood up and fought Washington it's really easy on a campaign on

the campaign trail or debate stage promised to fight Washington but when you do it it's it's ugly they fight back and

if one asks the question when hit you stood up to Washington one if you start out not just to Barack Obama but

the leadership in your own party one of you taken on the Washington cartel Fred there's a real difference between my record and

the record of everyone else in this race that that they're all good people but you know you think back to twenty thirteen %HESITATION

when millions of conservatives were coming together fighting to stop obamacare I

was leading that fight and the other ten candidates who are on that stage were nowhere to be found they were not part of the fight they didn't stand they

didn't stand with conservatives in that fight in twenty fourteen when millions of us rose up against president Obama's illegal executive amnesty

once again I was leading that fight and once again not a single person on that stage was anywhere to be found but but

actually for you know a lot more recently than that in the last week you know on that debate staking California every

Republican said we should not be sending taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood nother directly right in that right

of conservatives were calling our Republican leadership to do the right thing I was once again leading that fight and

where were the other candidates not a single one of them showed up you know Fred how fantastic it would have been how much I would have welcomed also

not send five hundred million dollars in taxpayer funds the Planned Parenthood but they were nowhere to be found they were in witness protection and

if you're looking for someone stand up and fight Washington the natural question is one of you ever done so and I would point out the other folks on on that stage have

not done so what if they haven't done so in the past how it makes one highly suspicious of their claim that that

firing over two dozen missiles from the Caspian Sea I think it is extraordinarily dangerous I

it it is the latest manifestation probably weakness of the Obama foreign policy Vladimir

Putin does not respect Barack Obama he considers them a laughing stock and weakness

like Israel this is the most antagonistic nation yeah administration to Israel in the history of our country and

we our enemies keep getting stronger because president Obama demonstrate so much weakness Burton

need a commander in chief who will stand by our allies and who are enemies will fear and respect and and and

the one silver lining on all of that is the thing that changes the fastest with a new president its foreign

policy it's worth remembering Iran release our hostages that day Ronald

Reagan was sworn and all that's true that's true this is senator Ted Cruz had a gal call earlier saying she's going to vote for you because of your father what
