SHUTDOWN: Ted Cruz Shoots Holes In Dems’ Narrative Lies… With Their Own Voting Record

Ted Cruz has used his podcast to shoot holes in Dem talking points since the first impeachment… now he’s using their own amendments to prove they’re fighting to fund what they claim they aren’t — healthcare for illegals.

Isn’t it weird how conservatives keep getting accused of secret agendas when it’s the other side that hides their true intentions behind misleading names and even denying things they have been proven to do.

With Obamacare? You did NOT get to keep your doctor, your plan no longer exists, but prices have gone up so much for the ‘affordable care act’ that Dems are now insisting the only way to save it will be taxpayer subsidies.

The Inflation Reduction Act? That led to what… 9% inflation? Just as conservatives predicted. It was only LONG after duping Manchin to support it that Dems admitted the bill really had little to do with inflation, when it was REALLY focused on smuggling the very same Green New Deal principles that Senators had claimed NOT to support when she first announced them.

They accused us of making up stories about their efforts to outlaw gas stoves, just months before they started cracking down on gas stoves.

What, do we look like we were born yesterday? Of COURSE we’re going to expect Dems will lie to us about what legislation they are really pushing, and that their media accomplices will have their backs. What’s the solution?

After explaining what he thinks is really driving this shutdown (Schumer getting dragged into it kicking and screaming by the hard left wing AOC wing of his party gunning for his leadership job, and possibly even his seat) he walks us through what the contested issues are all about.

Here are a few relevant timestamps from this video:

At 6:19, Ted names the claim the spin doctors on both sides have been fighting over — the claim that Dems are ‘really’ doing this because they want taxpayer funded health care for illegal aliens.

Dems and their media enablers have been working hard to deny such claims.

6:50 “I am going to give you three compelling reasons to demonstrate they are utterly full of crap when they are lying to you.’

7:00 Reason #1: The actual text of the Democrats’ CR.

(Pauses to explain what a CR is and what it does, and to explain that the GOP’s CR was funding stays unchanged from yesterday for the next 7 weeks until a proper budget can be proposed,) The Dems’ version of the CR is not a status quo spending, but introduces more than $1T of new spending by repealing specific clauses of the Big Beautiful Bill that they really, REALLY hate.

8:15 starts naming the specific clauses of Big Beautiful Bill they want repealed, which just happen to be specifically related to how health care is dispensed.

8:21 — page 56 of the Democrat CR it says that [cites legalese subclause details] is repealed, and any law or regulation referred to in that subtitle shall be applied as if amendments made in such subtitle had not been enacted. It might sound like anodyne boring bullsh*t. But it has massive implications and consequences.

8:44 ‘In no event shall payment be made to a state under this section for medical assistance furnished to an individual unless such individual is (a) a resident of one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, a territory of the United States and (b) either a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.

That’s the language they’re appealing. He has other examples of what they want to appeal at 9:15; 9:20; 9:28; 9:34. That’s number one on the express terms of what they are REALLY pushing for in this deal.

The 2020 Democratic presidential primary debate where every canidiate raised their hands in support of giving free healthcare to illegal aliens.

12:22 Both California and NY provide free health care to illegals.
