Cruz is a fighter. Ha! Trump called his wife ugly and said his dad helped Oswald kill JFK. Then he acquiesced to Trump. Notice Bari does not challenge him when he says the left "weaponized the judicial system". Cash Patel promises to jail even TV commentators who dared to dis the thin skinned Trump. The Free Press lives in Trumpistan.

Thank you, Bari. An interesting and revelatory interview. I so appreciate your skill in welcoming different points of view as you did on Election Night. Why is it so. hard to find others who still consider themsleves liberal in many ways but feel desperately disappointed in the Dems?

I used to respect Cruz before he knelt before Trump's insulting *his family* and kissed the ring anyway. How can he look in the mirror?

Where's your sense of humor? Trump's insults are just part of his game.

Ted Cruz' comment about the dangerous impact of Chinese influence via TikTok: "to push propaganda and very harmful content to our children that pushes self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, antisemitism, anti-Americanism and anti-capitalism." Isn't that exactly what the previous administration and all woke-based governments and organizations also did and still do?

Maybe the need is for more parents to take responsibility for their children's development in all aspects of their lives. And, if the parents complain about the real challenges in doing so, maybe what government could do usefully is to set up self-help meetings without facilitators in which parents can peer mentor each other.
