GREG KELLY (HOST): Ted Cruz, lighten up. You know, I like Ted a lot, but he has spent a lot of time in very kind of rarefied, special circles. Right? You know, hung around the Supreme Court, solicitor general of Texas. He's, you know, been at the top level of everything for a long time. And maybe he really likes Jimmy Kimmel. They play hoops together. Right? I just think that he's taken this a little bit — yeah, that's Ted Cruz and Kimmel. A lot of folks are — obviously the Democrats overreacted and certain Republicans as well. He's the president of the United States. The FCC, it's always had power over broadcasters. All of these people lost their jobs or got suspended for saying silly stuff on the TV. It can happen, unfortunately, to anyone at any time. So, Ted, you're wrong on this one too. All right. Anyway, I'm going to let him off the hook for now.
