Ted Cruz

Oh, I remember well where you're going with this.

Keep going.

And the story said Trump is thinking about firing Jeff Sessions and he's talking to Cruz about replacing him.

And look, Sessions has been a friend of mine forever.

So I called Jeff.

And by the way, Jeff knew that I talked to him about it.

He was in Trump Tower the day I was there talking to him about it.

We were very open and transparent with each other.

And I called Jeff the day that story came out.

And I said, hey, Jeff, I just wanted you to hear from me.

This is BS.

Like I have not...

I said, you knew I had a conversation with the president back November of last year.

I said, since then, I've not had another conversation about AG.

And I just told Jeff, I want you to hear from me.

I don't want the job and I wouldn't take it if offered.

So this is not coming from me.

And listen, Jeff had a rough time.

in that position bill barr who succeeded him started out really well but at the end he had a rough time in that position that has been a job pam bondi did a lot of good but but getting fired in front of the world it is not fun it's not fun i put out a statement saying saying how much i i support and like her and i sent her a text just saying hey i'm praying for you and thinking for thinking of you and and thank you for being a patriot and answering the call

But all of which is to say I am immensely glad that I stayed in the Senate.
