Cruz appeared on the Fox News television show Hannity with the conservative host Sean Hannity. The Texas senator had a lot to say about Joe Biden and explained that he thinks the Biden administration is undermining the American economy and foreign policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at Biden\u2019s foreign policy and you break the world into two groups, our friends and our enemies,\u201d Cruz said during the interview with Hannity, \u201cWhat does Biden do? He undermines and weakens our friends systematically over and over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to discussing foreign policy, Russia, and Nord Stream 2, the conversation turned to cryptocurrencies. \u201cOkay, you\u2019ve been hearing all about it,\u201d says Sean Hannity. \u201cBitcoin, cryptocurrency, what is it? Why is it so big? What is Bitcoin? What is blockchain? What is doggy coin?\u201d Hannity asked.<\/p>\n<p>The host of the Fox News broadcast further said that he\u2019s been \u201cstudying this and debating this with friends for probably hundreds of hours,\u201d in regard to crypto assets.
