Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz visited with Jimmy Kimmel, and while he spoke at length about national security and the handling of ISIS, the most popular segment was the following random question and answer session. Kimmel began by asking Cruz whether he disliked President Obama or Donald Trump the most in the world. Cruz was cautious about angering his volatile friend turned enemy, first allowing that he disliked Obama’s policies the most. After yesterday, it could be argued that Trump has only spoken with specificity on one policy and that went badly. Cruz then spoke of Trump saying; “Donald is a unique individual. Honestly, if I saw Donald in the backup camera of my car, I can’t say which pedal I’d use.”
On music, Cruz spoke about his first concert which he attended with his mother, because she wanted to go. A later concert impressed Cruz because he saw an authority figure on DRUGS. Cruz dodged Kimmel’s allusion to his uncanny similarity to the lead singer of the Christian hair band Stryper – just a little too conveniently for my liking. Asked to name his preferred cereal – Cruz joked, “not serial killer.” Yes, even his jokes are creeeepy. t soon becomes apparent that he is a huge Star Wars fan, so much so that he gives away a vital plot point. The man is emotional about Star Wars, if nothing else.
Kimmel agreed to disagree with Cruz on an earlier segment where he expressed an alarmist view of Islamic terrorism, and no regard for the steps the U.S. has taken. I was disappointed that Cruz wisely cut out his theories which made him “The intellectual leader of the Tea Party” as recently as 2012. He and Glenn Beck forwarded Agenda 21, the theory that the UN would herd everyone to urban centers where we would live in ‘Hobbit Homes’ with unpaved roads, no golf courses or pasture land, by order of the UN with George Soros. Forewarned is Forearmed!
