Tonight's guest on The Daily Show is Ted Cruz and on The Nightly Show panelists Sally Kohn, Gina Yashere, and Colin Quinn will join Larry.
Ted Cruz is the junior United States Senator from Texas. Elected in 2012 as a Republican, he is the first Hispanic or Cuban American to serve as a U.S. Senator from Texas. He is the chairman of the subcommittee on the Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts, U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. He is also the chairman of the United States Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness, U.S. Senate Commerce Committee.
On March 23, 2015, Cruz announced he would run for the Republican Party nomination in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election at Liberty University.
(That seems like ages ago, doesn't it?)
Ted Cruz just wanted a roll-call vote on Sunday. Instead, he got a smackdown.I really am not in the mood to listen to him, I will, but I won't be happy about it. How about some alternate entertainment?Republican leaders, led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), delivered what senators described as punishment for Cruz’s brazen floor tactics — the Texas senator first accused McConnell of lying and later sought to change Senate procedures in order to push for an Iran-related amendment.
So when Cruz came to the floor looking for at least 11 senators to agree to hold a roll-call vote, only three raised their hands. McConnell, sitting at his desk, turned around and peered at Cruz, who looked stunned at what had just happened. The Senate dispensed with his effort by a voice vote and quickly moved on, doing the same to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), a Cruz ally who sought to use arcane procedures to force a vote on defunding Planned Parenthood.
It all went down in an instant, but the message was clear: If Cruz doesn’t want to play nice with his Republican colleagues, they will respond in kind.
“You learn that in kindergarten: You learn to work well together and play by the rules,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, a close McConnell ally who was beaming after Cruz and Lee were handed such lopsided defeats. “Another thing you learn in kindergarten is to respect one another.”
Senate smackdown: Ted Cruz, Mike Lee efforts squelched by leaders
Some Steve Perry if you would rather be singing along rather than listening to Cruz.
Some very happy music.
The next band is a pair of sisters who recorded their first album as the band Smoosh when they were 12 and 10 years old. Now that they are adults, their band name is Chaos Chaos.
Finally a very Summery track from Satin Jackets
