| 0:00.0 | So |
| 0:16.0 | since Republicans have taken over control of the House of Representatives, they have held a bunch |
| 0:20.0 | of these different hearings that are of course hearings meant only to virtue signal and meant |
| 0:25.2 | only to not focus on issues actually facing the country. This includes hearings about big |
| 0:32.1 | tech or the weaponization of the FBI and yesterday there was one such hearing in which they brought |
| 0:40.0 | out the attorney general, Merrick Garland to answer questions. Ted Cruz went to law school |
| 0:48.4 | and yet he seemed completely confused about how the law works in this first clip and these hearings |
| 0:56.8 | really went wrong so quickly. And we'll talk about what these are really meant to accomplish in a |
| 1:01.9 | moment. In this first clip, Ted Cruz starts talking about leaks and Merrick Garland has to explain |
| 1:09.9 | to him. Remember Cruz is a lawyer. No, no, no, no, that wasn't a leak. That was a court filing. |
| 1:17.8 | Those are by definition made public. Take a listen to this. As you know, the FBI rated Donald Trump |

| 1:37.6 | about the leaks? The photograph was a filing in court in response to a motion filed by Mr. Trump. |
| 1:46.8 | It was not a leak. So you're testifying there haven't been leaks about the Trump raid and |
| 1:51.9 | I'm responding to the point. Yeah. Ted Cruz is a lawyer. Doesn't he know how the law works? He |
| 1:59.1 | went to law school? Well, it doesn't matter because Ted Cruz is there not as someone with some |
| 2:04.2 | legal knowledge as as rudimentary as it might be. He's there as a performer who is there to attack |
| 2:11.2 | Merrick Garland and to further a narrative that everything that has gone on with the investigation |
| 2:16.0 | into Donald Trump has been some kind of politically biased subterfuge or plan or whatever the case |
| 2:22.8 | may be. Then the subject comes up of protesters outside the homes of Supreme Court justices. And again, |
| 2:33.1 | I'm guessing Ted Cruz knows this stuff, but Ted Cruz wants to pretend that it is up to Merrick |
