Democrats HIDE THEIR HEADS IN SHAME As Ted Cruz Gets Up And DESTROYS AOC

that Democrats have a line of people who are willing to fight for working-class Americans from coast to coast in this country because God forbid that we have a member of the Republican caucus who stands up and actually wants to extend the America the Affordable Care Act so that people with cancer, insulin, and issues across the all sorts of health care issues across this country have their health insurance protected and extended throughout 2026. It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legis >> This is where it gets uncomfortable. Ted Cruz just threw down a direct challenge to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and it cuts right through the media narrative. The same Democrats who screamed "Kids in cages" for years are now dead silent and Cruz is daring them. Go look at what's happening right now under Joe Biden. If it was outrage back then, why isn't it outrage now? That contradiction is exactly what he's exposing and it's not a small one. If you want more breakdowns like this, make sure you subscribe because this is the kind of moment they don't want dissected. I'll tell you I've been to the border. I've been to the Biden cages. For 4 years, Democrats went on and on and on. The corrupt corporate media went on and on and on about kids in cages. You couldn't turn on the evening news without hearing "Kids in cages." What they didn't tell you is Barack Obama built those cages and today under Joe Biden, the cages are bigger and they're more full than they were before. Mr. President, every Democrat who stood up and lamented "Kids in cages." In the House of Representatives, Representative Ocasio-Cortez has a famous photo of her grasping her head by the kids in cages. Well, I'm going to give a simple challenge for Representative Ocasio-Cortez and for every Democrat in this body. Go see the Biden cages with your own eyes. I've seen them. The Donna tent facility with over 4,000 people with little boys and little girls on top of each other. Just a couple of weeks ago when I was in the Rio Grande Valley, the rate of COVID positivity in the Biden cages was over 22%. And all the Democrats who talked about this, if they don't go, if they don't denounce the Biden cages, then they're telling you that they're hypocrites. That they didn't believe it when they said it, that they didn't care about it when they said it, that it was all politics. It wasn't about their kids. Why does Joe Biden refuse to go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if he goes, the TV cameras will come with him. Why does Kamala Harris, who's supposed to be the border czar, she's supposed to be in charge of this? Why won't she go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if she went, the TV cameras would come and would show the Biden cages. And the Democrats are counting on the corrupt corporate media to suddenly say, "Nothing to see here." 15,000 Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio, nothing to see here. Anyone want to know what Joe Biden's favorite ice cream flavor is? That's the news. Never mind 1.2 million illegal immigrants. Never mind when I took 19 senators down to the border, we went out on the river and saw a man floating dead in the river who died trying to cross illegally. Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers, the moms who told me "I won't let my teenage kids go out on our ranch without being armed with a loaded firearm because there's so many human traffickers and narcotics traffickers that it's dangerous for them to go out on their own ranch." Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers who told me at round tables how tired they are of going out and finding dead bodies. You want to understand what's happening? Say there's no crisis, come to Brooks County. I invite every Democrat here to Brooks County. Brooks County in South Texas, it's just north of the border. Brooks County, over and over and over again, there dead bodies of illegal immigrants. The traffickers who are bringing them in, they're not nice guys. They're not humanitarians. They don't give a damn. That means if one of the illegal immigrants is a pregnant woman, is a young child, is elderly, is sick, they just abandon them. They leave them in the rough terrain in the summer heat and over and over again, the farmers and ranchers encounter dead bodies on their property where the traffickers have abandoned them. Mr. President, I ask you, is that humane? Is that compassionate, the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris policy that encourages, that puts people in harm's way and results in people dying? When we were down in the border, we saw a young girl who had been gang-raped by the human traffickers who had brought her to America. The rate of sexual assault is staggering, particularly among the girls and young women. So much so that a significant percentage of young women before they take the harrowing trip with the traffickers, will implant a birth control because they know the odds of their being sexually assaulted are so great. And I'll tell you as I was doing the round tables, one of the things I saw also was the colored wristbands. So, the traffickers are are global cartels. They're criminals. They're vicious criminals. They charge anyone, a young man, a young woman, a little boy, a little girl, thousands of dollars, anywhere from 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,000 dollars to cross into the United States. By the way, do you know there's 100% operational control on the border? 100% on the southern side. Nobody crosses the border without the cartels' permission. If you do, they will kill you. Every person who crosses the border does so after paying the cartels because you will be killed otherwise. But often when they come, they'll cross and they'll end up in a stash house. I've been to those stash houses. I've been out on the midnight patrols with the Border Patrol. You go into those stash houses and there colored wristbands that they put on the illegal immigrants. And the colors correspond to how many thousands of dollars they paid and how many thousands of dollars more they owe. Often when they get here, the cartels will say, "Thank you for your X thousand dollars. We want Y thousand more." Tragically, it is at those stash houses in the United States where many of the sexual assaults occur. And so these immigrants, many of whom are young children, teenage children, when they get here, the Biden administration delivers them to their final destination. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and their administration are the last mile of the human trafficking network. But for the 14, 15-year-old boy who arrives in Atlanta, who arrives in New York, who arrives in Detroit, who arrives in Nashville, many of those 14 and 15-year-old boys owe thousands of dollars to the cartels, which means they arrive in your city. You might think Georgia is not a border state, but when teenagers are arriving in Atlanta owing thousands of dollars to the cartels, they work for the cartels. And the cartels know who their family is and where their family is and they risk their mother or father being murdered if they don't work for the cartels to pay off the cartels. The young women have it even worse. There are teenage girls who make the decision, "I want to come to America. I want to come to the promised land." We've been a beacon of hope to millions throughout our history. They don't realize they are stepping in to hell on Earth. When the traffickers take them and then take them to a cartel facility in whatever city they end up in, where many of those teenage girls, still owing thousands of dollars to the cartels, have to work to pay off that debt by forced prostitution. Young girls forced into a life of sex slavery because the alternative is murder at the hand of the cartels. This is happening. The fact that Joe Biden doesn't want to talk about it, the fact that Kamala Harris claims it's not happening, the fact that the corrupt corporate media ignores it, it doesn't stop the fact that hundreds of thousands of people are suffering. I watched this and one thing stood out immediately. This wasn't just criticism, this was a direct challenge with no wiggle room. Ted Cruz is basically saying, "You made this your biggest moral issue, so where are you now?" He points straight at AOC and other Democrats who became the face of outrage during the Trump years. The images, the headlines, the emotional speeches, kids in cages dominated everything. But now, according to Cruz, the conditions haven't improved. In fact, he argues they've gotten worse, citing overcrowded facilities and high COVID positivity rates during his visit. And here's where the argument gets sharper. He's not just talking policy, he's talking credibility. If you were outraged then, but silent now, what does that say? Cruz frames it as political theater rather than principle. He also goes after Biden and Kamala Harris for not visiting the Rio Grande Valley, suggesting it's about avoiding cameras. That's a serious accusation because it implies awareness without accountability. Then the focus shifts to the human cost. Cruz describes cartel control, human trafficking, and what he claims are widespread abuses, especially against women and children. He paints a picture where migrants aren't just crossing a border, but stepping into a system of debt, coercion, and in some cases exploitation after they arrive. Now, whether you agree with his framing or not, the strategy here is clear. He's taking an issue that was politically powerful for Democrats and flipping it back on them. Same issue, different administration, completely different reaction. And that's the core tension. Is this about policy failure, media silence, or political convenience? Because if the standard changes depending on who's in power, then it's not really a standard at all. If you want more street breakdowns like this without the spin, make sure you subscribe.
