Well, howdy there internet people, Lidsboe again. So today we are going to talk about

Senator Cruz, a recording that has surfaced, and whether or not it's as big a deal as the media is currently

making it out to be.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, MSBC got their hands on a recording.

I believe it came from the Fox News whistleblower. There is a recording of Senator Cruz and in that he describes a commission that would go through the different states if they had

perceived issues with the with the 2020 election and that that

Commission would then report on findings. There are a lot of people viewing this as a mechanism to further a

potential coup.

And I get what they're saying.

It's definitely not a good look.

But at the same time, I don't know that there's anything criminal in that recording.

He is a senator.

He is a senator and that does give him a lot of legal cover. It's not me listening to it without something else major emails other recording stuff like that.

I don't know that it is as huge a deal as the media is making it out to be. I mean it's worth noting that a lot

of what's on this recording that people find so shocking today. He said in public.

In fact if I'm not mistaken some of these ideas were presented on the floor in Congress.

And that in and of itself would give him a lot of immunity through the speech and debate clause.

I don't know that it is as important as it is being made out to be.

Certainly election fodder, certainly problematic,

not a good look.

And it, I'm sure that there are a lot of people who feel that it doesn't speak very highly of his view of democracy.

But I don't know that any of what's on that recording rises to the level of criminality.
