At the bottom of the article are a couple of hypertext links to videos. (If limited on time, watch the Ted Cruz one and skip the Limbaugh one).

Ted Cruz has famously called CFR a “nest of vipers,” but does he agree with his Goldman Sachs wife about this report, about any of its recommendations? Might we expect Heidi Cruz to take a job in a Ted Cruz administration? Hillary Clinton oversaw heathcare. Would Heidi Cruz oversee North American integration?

Have such questions been asked? Would Ted deflect them as attacks on his wife?

It was Derrick Broze who asked Ted Cruz about his “family connection” to the Council on Foreign Relations in January 2012. Broze’s video is fascinating to watch as Ted answers the question as an attack on his wife.

Bonus: here is one more entry in the Cruz-CFR genre, a bizarre Rush Limbaugh clip (one of many by now in which he plays defense for Cruz). In it, Rush hah-hah-hah-belittles a caller who has brought up three valid points indicating Cruz is in fact an establishment-rooted candidate.

Clearly, more and bigger beans need to be spilled.

[quoting Heidi Cruz ...] I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at building a safer and more prosperous North America. Economic prosperity and a world safe from terrorism and other security threats are no doubt inextricably linked. While governments play an invaluable role in both regards, we must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us—truly the measure of our success. As such, investment funds and financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants. — Heidi S. Cruz
