“It’s No Secret That I Want To Be President” – Republican Senator Says

Uncategorized

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said on Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s podcast on Wednesday that “it’s no secret” that he wants to be president.

Cruz finished in second place behind President Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.

“I will say, this is a bug that history has proved is rarely ended,” Cruz said, according to The Texas Tribune.

“It is a permanent and often fatal bug,” he added.

Cruz said “time will tell” if he runs for president again.

More from The Texas Tribune:

Patrick ran through a shortlist of prospective candidates that included Cruz, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, outgoing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Gov. Greg Abbott — currently running for a record fourth term as Texas governor.

“I think Greg Abbott wants to run,” Patrick said.

When asked if Abbott was interested in running for president in 2028, his gubernatorial campaign press secretary, Eduardo Leal, was unequivocal.

“No,” Leal said.

Cruz is currently promoting a biography he penned about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, released Tuesday, and discussed the 2028 presidential field in an interview on MS NOW about the book.

When asked by MS NOW’s Ali Vitali if the party had coalesced behind Vance, Cruz was quick to disagree.

“Oh no,” he said. “There’s going to be a full discussion about who we are and what we believe.”

As for his participation in that discussion — and potentially in the presidential field — Cruz told Vitali, “There will be time to figure that out. I’ll certainly be part of the discussion, because I care deeply.”

Trump was asked if he thought Cruz could be president.

“He’s very talented, he’s a very good friend of mine. I think he might do that, yeah,” Trump responded.

“He’s a talented guy,” he added.

The Hill shared further:

Cruz said there “is no Never Trump lane” in the Republican Party anymore and praised Trump’s willingness to fight for his views.

“Love him or hate him, you’ve got to acknowledge this guy has a backbone — he is fearless. And there are a lot of Republicans that were so tired of lily-livered Republicans who were afraid of their own shadow,” he said. “Trump doesn’t hide in the corner. He is ferocious. I like that.”

But Cruz said he wished Trump showed more “message discipline and focus” and noted that he speaks with Trump on a weekly or daily basis.

“He doesn’t always listen to me but he frequently listens to me, and I’m grateful because he’s got courage,” he said.

Cruz said there needs to be soul-searching over the future of the Republican Party once Trump, who is 80, leaves office in two and a half years.

“Going forward, we’re in the midst of a debate about who our party is and what we believe, and I think economically we’ve got to debate, ‘Are we a small-government, free-market conservative party, are we a big-government, nanny-state party?’” he said.

Asked if he will be part of the discussion, possibly as a future presidential candidate, about what the Republican Party stands for, Cruz said: “There’ll be time to figure that out.”

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
