Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, luck and load. So Michael
Arry Show is on the air. Forty nine degrees.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
When I walked into the studio this morning. You put
chains on your tire just to be prepared. That's a
good move.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Ever, the boy scout always looking ahead.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You just never know because that's what happened. That's how
snow happens. You know that if it gets cold enough,
snow just emerges. Just it just happens. You don't just
because you got snow. It's cold, so it's snow. That's
I learned that in weather class, just starts snowing in it.
There's snow everywhere if it gets cold enough, if it
(01:12):
gets cold enough forty nine degrees, My god, I have
become old. I think, you know, when my mom passed,
I think what happens is you just it's you're next
up right, you you slide down one you know, one generation,
and you just go ahead and take that generation. Uh yeah,
(01:33):
I'll just be I'm just become old. I'll just look
at the weather now and then and then I couldn't
help myself. I had to go and look and see
what it was gonna do today. So it's gonna go up.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We had a seven.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Hold on, Wait, wait, I got messed up here, all right,
I'm looking at my own readings and calculations here. Let's see,
it's going up to mid seventies and then it'll start
heading back down into the sixties. But we're not going
to see forty nine again. Tomorrow morning at this time
(02:09):
it'll be in the high fifties. Forty nine degrees. Man,
that is downright cold for where we live. Puts a
spring in my step. I walked in this morning in Chad,
who gets here before it's even light a day I
walk When I walk in, everybody, I said hey, Chad.
He said hey, and I said, uh whoo, that's nice
(02:31):
and cold out there, and he said yeah, I had
to put on a jacket. And I go in and
he's wearing a jacket. And I said, Chad, you're in
control of the thermostat. If you want to turn some
heat on, you can.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
And he said, no, no, no, I don't like that central heat.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And I don't know if what this says about us,
but we sat and talked for five minutes about how
much we hate central heat and so that people don't
go into the bank anymore. But banks were one of
those places that you would go that in the summer,
you'd walk in and it'd be thirty two degrees.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
In the winter, you go in like there.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Are places that you walk in today, especially if it's
a lot of women, because women get cold. And you
walk in today and it is going to be one
hundred degrees in there. There will not be a summer
day that it will be that hot in that office.
It is going to be so warm and the worst
part is stuffy.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
You can't breathe. You walk in there, and your air
passages are real thick.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
That's women. Men don't do that. Women get cold and
they want that heat on. I cannot stand that heat.
Our heat at.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Home does not come on. In fact, I was.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I went and toured yesterday the Houston train dot Com folks,
which is hunting, which is the folks who distribute train
air conditioning systems, and we were talking about AC systems
and they mentioned heat pumps and I had to do
a double take. Who in this area is buying a
heat pump? You just don't even need it. Do you
(04:02):
turn on the heat at home?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Ever? We don't either. It does not come on.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Our body tempt our body heat that that is enough.
We are not turning on the heat. I want a
little chill in the house.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I breathe better. I breathe better.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Now, don't ask me what the temperature is in the
summer inside our house because I'm shooting for mid sixties.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I don't like.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, my poor wife. And it really is a man
woman thing. It is a man woman thing. I will
tell you that. And I tell you what else. Because
of the testosterone, it makes me a couple of degrees warmer.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I'm sure of that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Before the testosterone, I didn't feel so warm. But when
you're on the testosterone, it does make you warmer. And
I think that's just your I tell you what else.
Losing weight it makes a difference. You know, you don't
realize you got a little polar bear fat packed way.
(05:00):
The cole doesn't bother you. You lose some weight, it
starts bothering you bad. We are going to discuss Kamala
Harris making well she didn't make it. Somebody on her
team decided to throw a hell Mary yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And sit down with Fox News.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And the thought was, well, Brett Bear, because then you
wouldn't say you sat down with Brett Bear.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You'd say, you sat down with Fox.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
News, we went into the lions den and emerged with
a victory and Brett Barry's milk toast, and everybody knows that.
But as far as Middle America goes, they would say,
you know, Trump says, she won't do it. You know,
she'd They've hidden her away and she can't talk to anybody,
(06:01):
and she's afraid and all this.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Look at that she went away to Fox News.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
If you haven't heard this debate, I don't want to
oversell it.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I mean this interview.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
If you have not heard this, I'm going to tell
you it is the worst sit down I have ever
seen a presidential candidate.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Undertake. The only one close to.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That was in nineteen eighty in the Democrat primary, Ted
Kennedy was challenging the very unpopular Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And Roger Mudd.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Asked him, why are you running? And Ted Kennedy locked up,
you got it, Yeah, give.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
This a go.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Kennedy can be dominating, imposing, and masterful, but off the
stone in personal he can become stilted, elliptical, and at
times appear as if he really doesn't want America to
get to know him. Why do you want to be president?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Well, I'm right to make the announcement and to run.
The reasons that I would run is because I have
a great belief in this country that it is.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It is legend among political junkies being everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I know how bad that was.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It's up there with Admiral Stockdale at the vice presidential
debate saying who am I?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Why am I here? Kamala Harris did herself so much damage.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
In fact, we've got Brett Baer after the interview. And again,
Brett Baher is is not a tough interview and that
is as milk toast as it gets. Brett bear is
a filler in a timeslot because at least he's not controversial.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
The interview was going.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So badly for Kamalo that she had four people off
screen who were demanding to end the interview. No voices
were raised. He didn't insult her, he didn't ask her about,
you know, Willie Brown's personal hygiene below the belt, nothing, nothing,
(08:39):
and her people shut the interview down.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It was that bad. We'll play that for you.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
To come out charing time.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It's faracy time. Malcaberry's shoes stay.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Along with me.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Watching Kamala Harris embarrass herself yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I hadn't seen anyone.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Look that bad on a TV screen as a Democrat
candidate since Colin all read the night before. It's been
a rough week for Democrats.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guest. Welcome to the program Sir.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Michael, my friend. Great to be with you.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Did you happen? I know you. I can hear it
in your voice.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I know you are keeping long days and this is
a big state you're traveling across. I see you in
El Paso in the morning, in Orange in the afternoon,
in Dallas early evening, in Brownsville by night. It's a
lot of travel, and I know it wears on you.
But did you have a chance to see Kamala Harris's
interview with Brett Berry yesterday?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
I saw most of it, not the entirety of it,
but most of it.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
There was a moment where she was asked about Joscelyn
Nungery and her mother. And I know you're intimately aware
of and involved with this case. I mean Mattress mack
here paid for the funeral. And her answer was she
doesn't like Trump. Texas is going to end up being
(10:34):
very important both in your race and nationally over the
issue of illegal immigration. And it's got to be a
little bit rewarding to you. I went with you when
you brought twenty senators down to the border that finally
it feels like the nation is paying attention to what
you've been screaming about for years.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Yeah, I think people are really starting to realize just
how bad it is, how how horrific it is at
the border. I was really glad that Brett Baer played
the testimony of Alexis Nungry. She did a really difficult
and brave job just just telling the story of her
daughter Joscelyn, her daughter Joscelyn being taken from her, but
(11:20):
making the case that is indisputably correct that Joscelyn would
not have been kidnapped and murdered except for the catch
and release policies of Kamala Harris and Colin Alright, and
when Brettbhair played that and he asked, do you owe
her an apology? Kamala Harris could not bring herself to apologize.
(11:43):
She immediately started attacking well. Later on there was the
Bipartisan Deal, which, by the way, the Bipartisan Deal was
a terrible, terrible bill. But that was long after Joscelyn's
murderers were released by Joe Biden Kamala Harris, and she
had nothing to say other than it was a tragedy.
She couldn't bring herself to say I'm sorry for the
(12:05):
policies we put in place that resulted in your daughter
being murdered. Instead, she tried to dodge in a vade
accountability and it was infuriating watch.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I want to get to your race in just a moment.
But she was a senator while you were a senator.
Inter it's only one hundred people comprising the very powerful Senate.
What were your thoughts on her as a fellow senator.
The rumors are out there that she didn't prepare, that
she was sloppy, that she didn't seem to care, But
(12:39):
what was your personal experience with her?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I think that's probably overstated. I will say one of
the things about Republicans that worries me is I do
think Republicans underestimate her. A lot of Republicans think she's stupid.
I don't think that's the case. I served with her
since the day she got elected to the Senate. She
was she was perfectly fine. I'd say she was about
(13:04):
an average senator in terms of being how bright she was.
She was neither unusually bright nor unusually dim when you
when you served with her. What stood out about her
was her ideology. She is hard hard left. She is.
She is an id idea logue. She is a true believer.
(13:24):
You look at her voting record. Her voting record was
to the left of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. I
gotta say I served with Elizabeth and Bernie Sanders, Michael,
there ain't much room to the left of Elizabeth and
Bernie Fanders.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I thought you so.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
I could have done that too, And she is now
Elizabeth at Bernie. That's true, but she managed to vote
even crazier than they did. That really says something. And
you know, I think about how the country would be
under a Kamala Harris president, and to God forbid, and
I pray it doesn't happen, but I think there'd be
a real difference between Joe Biden and Kamala, which is
(14:07):
Joe Biden is a puppet in many ways. I feel
sorry for him. Age has taken him. I knew Joe
Biden twelve years ago before he had faded into dementia,
and he was a charming guy. Now I think he's
just an empty vessel at a puppet. Kamala is a
true believer, and so every bad policy we've seen the
(14:29):
last four years under Joe Biden would get worse if
Kamala is president because she is enthusiastic. She is hard,
hard left, and it is her passion, it is her defining.
It's why she's on planet Earth, because she wakes up
as a hard hard leftist.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guest.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
The reaction I received from a lot of people after
your debate with Colin all Wrong a couple of nights
ago was gosh, he's such a good debater. I forgot
what a good debater he is. He's so good at that.
And my response to that is, Look, you could be
wrong on every issue and still be a good debater.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
We all know you're a good debater. That's established.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
What I want people to see is that you got
to see the clear difference between the two candidates on
issues that matter most. What one thing do you want
Texans to take away from that debate?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Well, Michael, that's exactly right. That was my objective for
the debate is to make crystal clear my record and
call it all Reds record. You know, it's frustrating when
you're running against a hard left democrat in today's media world.
Kalin Allreds record is every bit as liberal as Kamala Harrison's.
They're both open border liberals. They both voted It's in
(15:55):
favor of open borders over and over and over again.
They both voted to default on the police repeatedly. They
both voted for trillions in spending trillions in debt. They
both voted for new taxes. They both voted in jobs
and energy and oil and gas in Texas. But they're
(16:16):
also both doing something profoundly deceptive, which is they're running
millions of dollars of ads pretending the record is the
exact opposite of who they are, and the media right
now is so corrupt that they amplify that story. Ellen
all Rad's record is his first four years in the House,
he voted with Nancy Pelosi one hundred percent of the time.
(16:41):
He voted with Joe Biden Kamala Harris their first two
years in office one hundred percent of the time. And
yet every single time the Houston Chronicle describes them. Every
single time the newspapers describe him, the TV stations describe him,
they all use the same word cloud. They describe him
(17:02):
as a moderate, bipartisan centrist, a middle of the road
unifier who brings us together, just like Nancy Pelosi, because
his voting record is identical to Nancy Pelosi. And it's infuriating.
And what Colin Already is trying to do is what
Kamala Harris is trying to do. They're trying to lie,
They're trying to deceive the voters. What I was trying
(17:24):
to do in the debate is just just lay out
the truth of his record in mind. You know, there
was one exchange that I thought was really revealing where
we were talking about energy and Colin Alred said, well,
you know, I wrote an off ed in support of LNG,
and it really I thought summarized the whole point of
the evening because I responded, well, you know, that's right.
He did write an off ed. It was a pretty
(17:44):
good op at it sounded great. But then when it
came time to vote, he voted against Texas Jobs. He
voted with Joe Biden in favor of his ban on
new export permits for liquid natural gas that hurts thousands
of jobs in Texas. And that's his pattern over and
over again, which is what he talks. He tries to
(18:06):
sound reasonable and then he votes hard hard left the time.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Well to his credit and this this comes back from
his football days. He's coachable, he says, and does what
he has coached to do. I don't think he knows
what how he feels about anything.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I think he does what they've coached.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Him to do.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Can you hang with us for a moment?
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guess.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
The Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You have to.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Correct course in this conversation Stealfie twenty five.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Most to the time steal raise a little king, Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
We're the mows? Are you in some boddle ways?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Suggesting there is a comparison between Ted Cruz and George Strake. Wow,
that coming from you, that is very high praise. Ted
Cruz is taller than George Strake. Did you know that
georgetra is not very tall? Senator Ted Cruz is our guest.
Donald Trump, in the midst of his own campaign running
(19:39):
for president earlier this week, made a big show of
endorsing you in saying he wants you as the Senator
from Texas. It's important to him, it's important.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
To the country. How much does that matter in your race?
Speaker 5 (19:57):
It's critically important. When Donald Trump president for his first term,
I was by far his strongest ally in the Senate,
fighting to accomplish the victories we accomplish. You take the border.
I worked ten in hand every single day with Donald
Trump to secure the border, and the results we achieved
were incredible. We achieved the lowest rate of illegal immigration
(20:22):
in forty five years. I was his strongest ally the
first time, and I'll be his strongest ally the second
time when he's re elected, to fight to accomplish what
we're promising. And so and I got to say, in
terms of the president, if God forbid, Donald Trump came
into office and Texas had sent Colin all Read to
(20:44):
the Senate and had kept a Democrat Senate, it would
mean that Donald Trump could not get his cabinet nominees through.
It would mean he could not get his sub cabinet
nominees through. It would mean he could not get his
judges through. It would give Chuck Schumer and Polin all
Read the ability to put enormous barriers in the way
(21:05):
of Trump accomplishing what the voters of Texas and the
voters of America want him to accomplish. Here's what I
pray happens nineteen days from now, that we see a
phenomenal election, that Texans show up, that we have a
massive turnout. I want to encourage everyone listening come out
and vote. Early voting starts on Monday. Just go out
(21:25):
and vote next week early voting, get it done quickly,
and then urge your friends to vote too, to come
out and vote. Vote for Trump, vote for me, vote
for Republican up and down the ticket. Because what I
hope is Trump wins, we win a big victory in
the Senate and get a Republican Senate. We win a
(21:46):
big victory in the House and grow our majority in
the House. And Michael, if and when we do that,
we will get an enormous amount accomplished. Next year, we
will secure the border, and we'll do it January and February,
the beginning of the year with the new administration. Next year,
we will cut taxes. The Trump tax cuts are expiring
next year, will extend them and make them bigger and bolder,
(22:08):
and by the way, that's going to include no taxes
on tips. That's also going to include no taxes on
social security, both very important policies Trump has proposed. I'm
actively fighting for. I introduced the legislation for no taxes
on tips. We will also end the war on oil
(22:29):
and gas at small jobs. We'll bring inflation down, and
we will end the wars. Israel will defeat Hamas. That's
the upside. But that only happens if we win the
White House, the Senate, and the House. And that means
that that happens if I win and can help lead
the fight for Texas.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guest. The issue of boys
in girls' locker rooms, boys competing against girls.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
It is amazing to me how many.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
This really has mobilized a lot of girl dads. And
I hear from them and they say, I've never been
more proud to be a Republican than to fight against
this nonsense, because we're protective of our daughters. We're protective
of our wives, but we're protective of our daughters. And
the fact that already has supported this, I think, you know,
(23:23):
I know it's hard. I know it's hard. To get
your message out against the money he's spending. But it
strikes me that the energy industry in Texas, illegal immigration,
his positions on crime, and this issue right here, and
I know, you know it is incredibly important to voters
and is a difference maker.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
It is hugely important. And his record on boys and
girls sports is radical and it has been incredibly consistent.
But you know, this really is an illustration of just
how dishonest Democrat campaigns can be. Collin all Read right
now is on TV with an ad where he looks
into the camera and says, I don't support boys and
(24:05):
girls sports. Cruise is lying. He just flat out just
screams that I'm a liar. At the debate he said
the same thing. He just flat out said, Nope, I
don't support boys and girls sports. And the problem and
the good thing about the debate is you have a
chance to respond to liize with the truth and the facts.
And I said, well, that's interesting that you say that
(24:27):
because you have voted for it and supported it not once,
not twice, not three times, but four separate times. So
number one, all it All Read as a co sponsor
and voted for it bill called the Equality Act. The
Equality Act would mandate that boys can use girls' restrooms,
can use girls changing rooms, can use girls' locker rooms.
(24:48):
It would mandate that your daughter has no right not
to have a fully grown naked man right next to
her in the changing room. That is radical and it
is wrong. He also voted on a bill called the
Protecting Girls and Women's Sports Act. Now, this was a
very narrow act. It was designed to do just one thing,
(25:08):
to say that boys can't compete against girls in girls
sports and men can't compete against women in women's sports.
Hollin Allread voted no, flat out no. He had a choice,
if you want to protect girl sports, he said no.
Number three, he was a co sponsor and voted for
something called the Transgender Bill of Rights. The Transgender Bill
(25:30):
of Rights explicitly said boys should be able to compete
in girl sports, men should be able to compete in
women's sports. Colin Allread proudly supported. It also said all
the bathroom and locker room and changing room stuff. But
then fourth, and this one will blow you away, Michael,
because this was just a couple of weeks ago, and
it really shows how extremely it is. Collin Allread joined
(25:53):
with over one hundred really radical Democrats of the House
in writing a letter about the US military and saying
what they believe should happen. Now you may say, okay,
good the military. Maybe he says something sensible like strength
in the military, hay, our active duty military, more enhanced readiness. No,
none of that. Those are not his priorities in the military.
(26:13):
What he says in this letter Colin all Read's letter
in the military, he says, number one, our military bases
need to have drag shows.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
It's it's mind boggling. Senator Cruz, can you hold just
one moment?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yes, all right? Yeh.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Senator Ted Cruise is our guest.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
More coming up, Kamala Harris was just officially endorsed by
I R.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
S Agency.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Do you believe that the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
I'd rather not have that endorsement.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guest, weary from the road,
but hopefully for the upcoming election. Senator you and I
both know what happened to Alex Meeler in Harris County,
an election where the Democrats brought in Clifford Tatum. They
(27:19):
didn't send out ballots, so Lena hid Allgo wins the
race she had no business winning.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
How concerned are you about election integrity.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Because those folks have had two years to perfect what
they're doing and they don't want to lose the judicial seats.
How concerned are you and what's being done to ensure
election integrity, especially in Harris County.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Yeah, I'm certainly concerned about election integrity, and I think
in the larger counties in Harris County, in Dallas County
and Travis County, in Bear County, that there are reasons
to be very concerned, and I think we need to
make sure and we're going to have poll watchers. I
think the Attorney General is on it and needs to
be vigorous on it. I think early on we had
(28:05):
guidance from the Secretary of State that was erroneous that
said if someone showed up with a driver's license that
is typically given to an illegal alien, that they should
be given a ballot. Nonetheless, that guidance was wrong, and
the Attorney General got involved, and thankfully the Secretary of
State corrected that guidance. But I was very glad they
(28:27):
corrected that because that could have resulted in a lot
of illegal votes being taken. But it is a serious problem. Look,
it is my hope that the Secretary of State also
sends observers and puts observers not just at the polls,
but in the counting station. The counting stations are areas
that are particularly ripe with opportunity for mischief, and it
(28:51):
is far far more difficult for observers from candidates or
campaigns to be able to closely monitor what's happening there.
The Secretary of State, under statute, has the authorization to
send observers there. I hope that happens. I'm certainly urging
the Secretary of State to do that. But I'll say
this as well. Voter fraud has been a threat in
(29:14):
every election we've had in Texas and everywhere else as
long as there have been votes, and we need to
fight against it with every tool we have. But the
good news is, historically voter fraud has only mattered when
it's been close. It's only mattered at the margins. So
what we really need to do is win by a
(29:34):
big enough margin that nobody can steal it. That we
need to make the victory too big to rig. And
so I'm right now in the middle of a fifty
three stop bus tour we are crisscrossing the state of Texas.
Yesterday I started the day in Wichita Falls, then drove
to Amarillo, had great rallies in both Wichita Falls and Amarillo.
(29:55):
I'm in Lubbock right now. We're going to do a
big rally in Lubbock. Then we're headed to Midlands. Then
we're head to Abilene, then we're headed over to Waco,
then we're headed back down south. Then we're gonna be
heading a few days down to the Valley. We are
criss crossing the entirety of the state to energize and
mobilize and turn people out. And if we win by
(30:16):
a big enough margin that it's clear, that's the best
way to make sure we get the result we need
and deserve on election Day.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well, we are on live right now on KFYO in Lubbock.
Where is the event in Lovebuck's.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
That's a good question. You're gonna have to give me
thirty seconds to look it up.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
We'll come back to it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Is there somebody around, is a good Jason Johnson around
that can give us these does it all run together?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Spot?
Speaker 5 (30:46):
After a while, it does, And I'll confess. When you
wake up in a hotel room, you grab the phone
in the hotel room to try to figure out what
city you're in. I have yet to stand up in
College station and say it's great to be in Laredo, right,
but I'm always terrified that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You know, you could wake up in college station and
say Laredo. Just don't wake up in college station wearing
burnt orange and say you're in Austin.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
That would be a problem.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
That that would be an ass whipping. So let's avoid that,
all right. The Lovewock rally is at eleven AM and
it is at the Texas Cafe and Bar, thirty six,
four fiftieth Streets, Lobwock.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
All right, So our good love book listeners out there
who listen to Chad Hasty and all our friends on KFIO,
if you show up there.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Make sure you tell the senator you heard him on
the show.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Today, let's talk about the border, and let's talk about
how bad it's been. This is something you have fought
for for twelve years. Under President Trump, as you noted
in the debate, with your leadership on this issue, we
were able to reduce illegal border crossings. I read in
the Daily Mail this four apartment complexes in San Antone
(32:04):
alone taken over by this trend de Aragua. This gang
is is more brutal than MS thirteen. They're more sophisticated,
they're more violent. This is bad stuff for folks who
really don't understand or explain how bad these groups are
that are coming in now.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Well, you know, Michael, if you listen to ABC News,
Martha Raddick said, it's you know, it's only a handful
of apartment complexes, no big deal, just a handful that
have been taken over by violent Venezuelan gangs that are
terrorizing the people there. I mean, what ridiculous propaganda from
the corporate media. Trendor Arragua is a very dangerous gang.
(32:45):
It started as a prison gang in Venezuela. And the
reason we're seeing so much from Venezuela is because of
a very deliberate decision by Nicholas Maduro, the dictator in Venezuela.
He is emptying his jail. He's saying, all right, give
me all the murderers we have, let's send them to America.
Give me all the rapists, give me all the child molesters,
(33:07):
give me all this whole prison gang. These guys are bad,
bad news. They're killing Venezuelans, They're raping Venezuelan women, they're
raping Venezuelan children. You know what, Get rid of them all,
send them all to America. And it's the same thing.
Remember Fidel Castro did with the Mario boat List. He
emptied out both his prisons and his insane asylums, and
(33:28):
we had a huge crime surge because he sent a
bunch of violence criminals to America. That is exactly what
Maduro is doing, and we're seeing them. One of the
two people who raped and murdered Joscelyn Nungary, it's now
been reported, was a Venezuelan gang member. The illegal immigrants
(33:50):
who broke into the woman's home in Dallas, who tied
her up, who terrorized her at gunpoint, who pistol whipped
her with their guns, who her house, who threatened to
cut her fingers off, they were Venezuelan gang members. As
you mentioned, the groups that took over apartment complexes in
(34:11):
San Antonio were Venezuelan gang members. They've also taken over
apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado. They've also taken over apartment
complexes in Chicago, Illinois. And these are violent, vicious gangs
that are being empowered by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
and Colin already their policies of cash and relief, they
(34:33):
are deliberately releasing violent illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Senator Ted Cruz, thank you very much. I know you're
in the middle of a fifty three city tour and
I know it's going to make a difference. Folks can
start voting early in Texas come this Monday.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Good luck, my.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
Friend, Thank you, my friend. God bless.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
We talked during the break with Senator Cruz and I
asked him the one question Ramona.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Gave me to ask him, which I think you're gonna
want to hear that answer.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
We'll get to that in a bit, but coming up,
Kamala Harris's interview with Fox News yesterday went worse or
I'd like to think better, and you could possibly.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Imagine to share some of that with you.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
Coming up,
It's that time time, time, luck and load. So Michael
Arry Show is on the air. Forty nine degrees.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
When I walked into the studio this morning. You put
chains on your tire just to be prepared. That's a
good move.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Ever, the boy scout always looking ahead.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You just never know because that's what happened. That's how
snow happens. You know that if it gets cold enough,
snow just emerges. Just it just happens. You don't just
because you got snow. It's cold, so it's snow. That's
I learned that in weather class, just starts snowing in it.
There's snow everywhere if it gets cold enough, if it
(01:12):
gets cold enough forty nine degrees, My god, I have
become old. I think, you know, when my mom passed,
I think what happens is you just it's you're next
up right, you you slide down one you know, one generation,
and you just go ahead and take that generation. Uh yeah,
(01:33):
I'll just be I'm just become old. I'll just look
at the weather now and then and then I couldn't
help myself. I had to go and look and see
what it was gonna do today. So it's gonna go up.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We had a seven.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Hold on, Wait, wait, I got messed up here, all right,
I'm looking at my own readings and calculations here. Let's see,
it's going up to mid seventies and then it'll start
heading back down into the sixties. But we're not going
to see forty nine again. Tomorrow morning at this time
(02:09):
it'll be in the high fifties. Forty nine degrees. Man,
that is downright cold for where we live. Puts a
spring in my step. I walked in this morning in Chad,
who gets here before it's even light a day I
walk When I walk in, everybody, I said hey, Chad.
He said hey, and I said, uh whoo, that's nice
(02:31):
and cold out there, and he said yeah, I had
to put on a jacket. And I go in and
he's wearing a jacket. And I said, Chad, you're in
control of the thermostat. If you want to turn some
heat on, you can.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
And he said, no, no, no, I don't like that central heat.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And I don't know if what this says about us,
but we sat and talked for five minutes about how
much we hate central heat and so that people don't
go into the bank anymore. But banks were one of
those places that you would go that in the summer,
you'd walk in and it'd be thirty two degrees.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
In the winter, you go in like there.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Are places that you walk in today, especially if it's
a lot of women, because women get cold. And you
walk in today and it is going to be one
hundred degrees in there. There will not be a summer
day that it will be that hot in that office.
It is going to be so warm and the worst
part is stuffy.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
You can't breathe. You walk in there, and your air
passages are real thick.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
That's women. Men don't do that. Women get cold and
they want that heat on. I cannot stand that heat.
Our heat at.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Home does not come on. In fact, I was.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I went and toured yesterday the Houston train dot Com folks,
which is hunting, which is the folks who distribute train
air conditioning systems, and we were talking about AC systems
and they mentioned heat pumps and I had to do
a double take. Who in this area is buying a
heat pump? You just don't even need it. Do you
(04:02):
turn on the heat at home?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Ever? We don't either. It does not come on.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Our body tempt our body heat that that is enough.
We are not turning on the heat. I want a
little chill in the house.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I breathe better. I breathe better.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Now, don't ask me what the temperature is in the
summer inside our house because I'm shooting for mid sixties.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I don't like.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, my poor wife. And it really is a man
woman thing. It is a man woman thing. I will
tell you that. And I tell you what else. Because
of the testosterone, it makes me a couple of degrees warmer.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I'm sure of that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Before the testosterone, I didn't feel so warm. But when
you're on the testosterone, it does make you warmer. And
I think that's just your I tell you what else.
Losing weight it makes a difference. You know, you don't
realize you got a little polar bear fat packed way.
(05:00):
The cole doesn't bother you. You lose some weight, it
starts bothering you bad. We are going to discuss Kamala
Harris making well she didn't make it. Somebody on her
team decided to throw a hell Mary yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And sit down with Fox News.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And the thought was, well, Brett Bear, because then you
wouldn't say you sat down with Brett Bear.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You'd say, you sat down with Fox.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
News, we went into the lions den and emerged with
a victory and Brett Barry's milk toast, and everybody knows that.
But as far as Middle America goes, they would say,
you know, Trump says, she won't do it. You know,
she'd They've hidden her away and she can't talk to anybody,
(06:01):
and she's afraid and all this.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Look at that she went away to Fox News.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
If you haven't heard this debate, I don't want to
oversell it.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I mean this interview.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
If you have not heard this, I'm going to tell
you it is the worst sit down I have ever
seen a presidential candidate.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Undertake. The only one close to.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That was in nineteen eighty in the Democrat primary, Ted
Kennedy was challenging the very unpopular Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And Roger Mudd.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Asked him, why are you running? And Ted Kennedy locked up,
you got it, Yeah, give.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
This a go.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Kennedy can be dominating, imposing, and masterful, but off the
stone in personal he can become stilted, elliptical, and at
times appear as if he really doesn't want America to
get to know him. Why do you want to be president?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Well, I'm right to make the announcement and to run.
The reasons that I would run is because I have
a great belief in this country that it is.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It is legend among political junkies being everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I know how bad that was.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It's up there with Admiral Stockdale at the vice presidential
debate saying who am I?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Why am I here? Kamala Harris did herself so much damage.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
In fact, we've got Brett Baer after the interview. And again,
Brett Baher is is not a tough interview and that
is as milk toast as it gets. Brett bear is
a filler in a timeslot because at least he's not controversial.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
The interview was going.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So badly for Kamalo that she had four people off
screen who were demanding to end the interview. No voices
were raised. He didn't insult her, he didn't ask her about,
you know, Willie Brown's personal hygiene below the belt, nothing, nothing,
(08:39):
and her people shut the interview down.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It was that bad. We'll play that for you.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
To come out charing time.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It's faracy time. Malcaberry's shoes stay.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Along with me.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Watching Kamala Harris embarrass herself yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I hadn't seen anyone.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Look that bad on a TV screen as a Democrat
candidate since Colin all read the night before. It's been
a rough week for Democrats.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guest. Welcome to the program Sir.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Michael, my friend. Great to be with you.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Did you happen? I know you. I can hear it
in your voice.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I know you are keeping long days and this is
a big state you're traveling across. I see you in
El Paso in the morning, in Orange in the afternoon,
in Dallas early evening, in Brownsville by night. It's a
lot of travel, and I know it wears on you.
But did you have a chance to see Kamala Harris's
interview with Brett Berry yesterday?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
I saw most of it, not the entirety of it,
but most of it.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
There was a moment where she was asked about Joscelyn
Nungery and her mother. And I know you're intimately aware
of and involved with this case. I mean Mattress mack
here paid for the funeral. And her answer was she
doesn't like Trump. Texas is going to end up being
(10:34):
very important both in your race and nationally over the
issue of illegal immigration. And it's got to be a
little bit rewarding to you. I went with you when
you brought twenty senators down to the border that finally
it feels like the nation is paying attention to what
you've been screaming about for years.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Yeah, I think people are really starting to realize just
how bad it is, how how horrific it is at
the border. I was really glad that Brett Baer played
the testimony of Alexis Nungry. She did a really difficult
and brave job just just telling the story of her
daughter Joscelyn, her daughter Joscelyn being taken from her, but
(11:20):
making the case that is indisputably correct that Joscelyn would
not have been kidnapped and murdered except for the catch
and release policies of Kamala Harris and Colin Alright, and
when Brettbhair played that and he asked, do you owe
her an apology? Kamala Harris could not bring herself to apologize.
(11:43):
She immediately started attacking well. Later on there was the
Bipartisan Deal, which, by the way, the Bipartisan Deal was
a terrible, terrible bill. But that was long after Joscelyn's
murderers were released by Joe Biden Kamala Harris, and she
had nothing to say other than it was a tragedy.
She couldn't bring herself to say I'm sorry for the
(12:05):
policies we put in place that resulted in your daughter
being murdered. Instead, she tried to dodge in a vade
accountability and it was infuriating watch.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I want to get to your race in just a moment.
But she was a senator while you were a senator.
Inter it's only one hundred people comprising the very powerful Senate.
What were your thoughts on her as a fellow senator.
The rumors are out there that she didn't prepare, that
she was sloppy, that she didn't seem to care, But
(12:39):
what was your personal experience with her?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I think that's probably overstated. I will say one of
the things about Republicans that worries me is I do
think Republicans underestimate her. A lot of Republicans think she's stupid.
I don't think that's the case. I served with her
since the day she got elected to the Senate. She
was she was perfectly fine. I'd say she was about
(13:04):
an average senator in terms of being how bright she was.
She was neither unusually bright nor unusually dim when you
when you served with her. What stood out about her
was her ideology. She is hard hard left. She is.
She is an id idea logue. She is a true believer.
(13:24):
You look at her voting record. Her voting record was
to the left of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. I
gotta say I served with Elizabeth and Bernie Sanders, Michael,
there ain't much room to the left of Elizabeth and
Bernie Fanders.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I thought you so.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
I could have done that too, And she is now
Elizabeth at Bernie. That's true, but she managed to vote
even crazier than they did. That really says something. And
you know, I think about how the country would be
under a Kamala Harris president, and to God forbid, and
I pray it doesn't happen, but I think there'd be
a real difference between Joe Biden and Kamala, which is
(14:07):
Joe Biden is a puppet in many ways. I feel
sorry for him. Age has taken him. I knew Joe
Biden twelve years ago before he had faded into dementia,
and he was a charming guy. Now I think he's
just an empty vessel at a puppet. Kamala is a
true believer, and so every bad policy we've seen the
(14:29):
last four years under Joe Biden would get worse if
Kamala is president because she is enthusiastic. She is hard,
hard left, and it is her passion, it is her defining.
It's why she's on planet Earth, because she wakes up
as a hard hard leftist.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guest.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
The reaction I received from a lot of people after
your debate with Colin all Wrong a couple of nights
ago was gosh, he's such a good debater. I forgot
what a good debater he is. He's so good at that.
And my response to that is, Look, you could be
wrong on every issue and still be a good debater.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
We all know you're a good debater. That's established.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
What I want people to see is that you got
to see the clear difference between the two candidates on
issues that matter most. What one thing do you want
Texans to take away from that debate?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Well, Michael, that's exactly right. That was my objective for
the debate is to make crystal clear my record and
call it all Reds record. You know, it's frustrating when
you're running against a hard left democrat in today's media world.
Kalin Allreds record is every bit as liberal as Kamala Harrison's.
They're both open border liberals. They both voted It's in
(15:55):
favor of open borders over and over and over again.
They both voted to default on the police repeatedly. They
both voted for trillions in spending trillions in debt. They
both voted for new taxes. They both voted in jobs
and energy and oil and gas in Texas. But they're
(16:16):
also both doing something profoundly deceptive, which is they're running
millions of dollars of ads pretending the record is the
exact opposite of who they are, and the media right
now is so corrupt that they amplify that story. Ellen
all Rad's record is his first four years in the House,
he voted with Nancy Pelosi one hundred percent of the time.
(16:41):
He voted with Joe Biden Kamala Harris their first two
years in office one hundred percent of the time. And
yet every single time the Houston Chronicle describes them. Every
single time the newspapers describe him, the TV stations describe him,
they all use the same word cloud. They describe him
(17:02):
as a moderate, bipartisan centrist, a middle of the road
unifier who brings us together, just like Nancy Pelosi, because
his voting record is identical to Nancy Pelosi. And it's infuriating.
And what Colin Already is trying to do is what
Kamala Harris is trying to do. They're trying to lie,
They're trying to deceive the voters. What I was trying
(17:24):
to do in the debate is just just lay out
the truth of his record in mind. You know, there
was one exchange that I thought was really revealing where
we were talking about energy and Colin Alred said, well,
you know, I wrote an off ed in support of LNG,
and it really I thought summarized the whole point of
the evening because I responded, well, you know, that's right.
He did write an off ed. It was a pretty
(17:44):
good op at it sounded great. But then when it
came time to vote, he voted against Texas Jobs. He
voted with Joe Biden in favor of his ban on
new export permits for liquid natural gas that hurts thousands
of jobs in Texas. And that's his pattern over and
over again, which is what he talks. He tries to
(18:06):
sound reasonable and then he votes hard hard left the time.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Well to his credit and this this comes back from
his football days. He's coachable, he says, and does what
he has coached to do. I don't think he knows
what how he feels about anything.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I think he does what they've coached.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Him to do.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Can you hang with us for a moment?
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guess.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
The Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You have to.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Correct course in this conversation Stealfie twenty five.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Most to the time steal raise a little king, Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
We're the mows? Are you in some boddle ways?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Suggesting there is a comparison between Ted Cruz and George Strake. Wow,
that coming from you, that is very high praise. Ted
Cruz is taller than George Strake. Did you know that
georgetra is not very tall? Senator Ted Cruz is our guest.
Donald Trump, in the midst of his own campaign running
(19:39):
for president earlier this week, made a big show of
endorsing you in saying he wants you as the Senator
from Texas. It's important to him, it's important.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
To the country. How much does that matter in your race?
Speaker 5 (19:57):
It's critically important. When Donald Trump president for his first term,
I was by far his strongest ally in the Senate,
fighting to accomplish the victories we accomplish. You take the border.
I worked ten in hand every single day with Donald
Trump to secure the border, and the results we achieved
were incredible. We achieved the lowest rate of illegal immigration
(20:22):
in forty five years. I was his strongest ally the
first time, and I'll be his strongest ally the second
time when he's re elected, to fight to accomplish what
we're promising. And so and I got to say, in
terms of the president, if God forbid, Donald Trump came
into office and Texas had sent Colin all Read to
(20:44):
the Senate and had kept a Democrat Senate, it would
mean that Donald Trump could not get his cabinet nominees through.
It would mean he could not get his sub cabinet
nominees through. It would mean he could not get his
judges through. It would give Chuck Schumer and Polin all
Read the ability to put enormous barriers in the way
(21:05):
of Trump accomplishing what the voters of Texas and the
voters of America want him to accomplish. Here's what I
pray happens nineteen days from now, that we see a
phenomenal election, that Texans show up, that we have a
massive turnout. I want to encourage everyone listening come out
and vote. Early voting starts on Monday. Just go out
(21:25):
and vote next week early voting, get it done quickly,
and then urge your friends to vote too, to come
out and vote. Vote for Trump, vote for me, vote
for Republican up and down the ticket. Because what I
hope is Trump wins, we win a big victory in
the Senate and get a Republican Senate. We win a
(21:46):
big victory in the House and grow our majority in
the House. And Michael, if and when we do that,
we will get an enormous amount accomplished. Next year, we
will secure the border, and we'll do it January and February,
the beginning of the year with the new administration. Next year,
we will cut taxes. The Trump tax cuts are expiring
next year, will extend them and make them bigger and bolder,
(22:08):
and by the way, that's going to include no taxes
on tips. That's also going to include no taxes on
social security, both very important policies Trump has proposed. I'm
actively fighting for. I introduced the legislation for no taxes
on tips. We will also end the war on oil
(22:29):
and gas at small jobs. We'll bring inflation down, and
we will end the wars. Israel will defeat Hamas. That's
the upside. But that only happens if we win the
White House, the Senate, and the House. And that means
that that happens if I win and can help lead
the fight for Texas.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guest. The issue of boys
in girls' locker rooms, boys competing against girls.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
It is amazing to me how many.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
This really has mobilized a lot of girl dads. And
I hear from them and they say, I've never been
more proud to be a Republican than to fight against
this nonsense, because we're protective of our daughters. We're protective
of our wives, but we're protective of our daughters. And
the fact that already has supported this, I think, you know,
(23:23):
I know it's hard. I know it's hard. To get
your message out against the money he's spending. But it
strikes me that the energy industry in Texas, illegal immigration,
his positions on crime, and this issue right here, and
I know, you know it is incredibly important to voters
and is a difference maker.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
It is hugely important. And his record on boys and
girls sports is radical and it has been incredibly consistent.
But you know, this really is an illustration of just
how dishonest Democrat campaigns can be. Collin all Read right
now is on TV with an ad where he looks
into the camera and says, I don't support boys and
(24:05):
girls sports. Cruise is lying. He just flat out just
screams that I'm a liar. At the debate he said
the same thing. He just flat out said, Nope, I
don't support boys and girls sports. And the problem and
the good thing about the debate is you have a
chance to respond to liize with the truth and the facts.
And I said, well, that's interesting that you say that
(24:27):
because you have voted for it and supported it not once,
not twice, not three times, but four separate times. So
number one, all it All Read as a co sponsor
and voted for it bill called the Equality Act. The
Equality Act would mandate that boys can use girls' restrooms,
can use girls changing rooms, can use girls' locker rooms.
(24:48):
It would mandate that your daughter has no right not
to have a fully grown naked man right next to
her in the changing room. That is radical and it
is wrong. He also voted on a bill called the
Protecting Girls and Women's Sports Act. Now, this was a
very narrow act. It was designed to do just one thing,
(25:08):
to say that boys can't compete against girls in girls
sports and men can't compete against women in women's sports.
Hollin Allread voted no, flat out no. He had a choice,
if you want to protect girl sports, he said no.
Number three, he was a co sponsor and voted for
something called the Transgender Bill of Rights. The Transgender Bill
(25:30):
of Rights explicitly said boys should be able to compete
in girl sports, men should be able to compete in
women's sports. Colin Allread proudly supported. It also said all
the bathroom and locker room and changing room stuff. But
then fourth, and this one will blow you away, Michael,
because this was just a couple of weeks ago, and
it really shows how extremely it is. Collin Allread joined
(25:53):
with over one hundred really radical Democrats of the House
in writing a letter about the US military and saying
what they believe should happen. Now you may say, okay,
good the military. Maybe he says something sensible like strength
in the military, hay, our active duty military, more enhanced readiness. No,
none of that. Those are not his priorities in the military.
(26:13):
What he says in this letter Colin all Read's letter
in the military, he says, number one, our military bases
need to have drag shows.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
It's it's mind boggling. Senator Cruz, can you hold just
one moment?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yes, all right? Yeh.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Senator Ted Cruise is our guest.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
More coming up, Kamala Harris was just officially endorsed by
I R.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
S Agency.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Do you believe that the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
I'd rather not have that endorsement.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Senator Ted Cruz is our guest, weary from the road,
but hopefully for the upcoming election. Senator you and I
both know what happened to Alex Meeler in Harris County,
an election where the Democrats brought in Clifford Tatum. They
(27:19):
didn't send out ballots, so Lena hid Allgo wins the
race she had no business winning.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
How concerned are you about election integrity.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Because those folks have had two years to perfect what
they're doing and they don't want to lose the judicial seats.
How concerned are you and what's being done to ensure
election integrity, especially in Harris County.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Yeah, I'm certainly concerned about election integrity, and I think
in the larger counties in Harris County, in Dallas County
and Travis County, in Bear County, that there are reasons
to be very concerned, and I think we need to
make sure and we're going to have poll watchers. I
think the Attorney General is on it and needs to
be vigorous on it. I think early on we had
(28:05):
guidance from the Secretary of State that was erroneous that
said if someone showed up with a driver's license that
is typically given to an illegal alien, that they should
be given a ballot. Nonetheless, that guidance was wrong, and
the Attorney General got involved, and thankfully the Secretary of
State corrected that guidance. But I was very glad they
(28:27):
corrected that because that could have resulted in a lot
of illegal votes being taken. But it is a serious problem. Look,
it is my hope that the Secretary of State also
sends observers and puts observers not just at the polls,
but in the counting station. The counting stations are areas
that are particularly ripe with opportunity for mischief, and it
(28:51):
is far far more difficult for observers from candidates or
campaigns to be able to closely monitor what's happening there.
The Secretary of State, under statute, has the authorization to
send observers there. I hope that happens. I'm certainly urging
the Secretary of State to do that. But I'll say
this as well. Voter fraud has been a threat in
(29:14):
every election we've had in Texas and everywhere else as
long as there have been votes, and we need to
fight against it with every tool we have. But the
good news is, historically voter fraud has only mattered when
it's been close. It's only mattered at the margins. So
what we really need to do is win by a
(29:34):
big enough margin that nobody can steal it. That we
need to make the victory too big to rig. And
so I'm right now in the middle of a fifty
three stop bus tour we are crisscrossing the state of Texas.
Yesterday I started the day in Wichita Falls, then drove
to Amarillo, had great rallies in both Wichita Falls and Amarillo.
(29:55):
I'm in Lubbock right now. We're going to do a
big rally in Lubbock. Then we're headed to Midlands. Then
we're head to Abilene, then we're headed over to Waco,
then we're headed back down south. Then we're gonna be
heading a few days down to the Valley. We are
criss crossing the entirety of the state to energize and
mobilize and turn people out. And if we win by
(30:16):
a big enough margin that it's clear, that's the best
way to make sure we get the result we need
and deserve on election Day.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well, we are on live right now on KFYO in Lubbock.
Where is the event in Lovebuck's.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
That's a good question. You're gonna have to give me
thirty seconds to look it up.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
We'll come back to it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Is there somebody around, is a good Jason Johnson around
that can give us these does it all run together?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Spot?
Speaker 5 (30:46):
After a while, it does, And I'll confess. When you
wake up in a hotel room, you grab the phone
in the hotel room to try to figure out what
city you're in. I have yet to stand up in
College station and say it's great to be in Laredo, right,
but I'm always terrified that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You know, you could wake up in college station and
say Laredo. Just don't wake up in college station wearing
burnt orange and say you're in Austin.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
That would be a problem.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
That that would be an ass whipping. So let's avoid that,
all right. The Lovewock rally is at eleven AM and
it is at the Texas Cafe and Bar, thirty six,
four fiftieth Streets, Lobwock.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
All right, So our good love book listeners out there
who listen to Chad Hasty and all our friends on KFIO,
if you show up there.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Make sure you tell the senator you heard him on
the show.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Today, let's talk about the border, and let's talk about
how bad it's been. This is something you have fought
for for twelve years. Under President Trump, as you noted
in the debate, with your leadership on this issue, we
were able to reduce illegal border crossings. I read in
the Daily Mail this four apartment complexes in San Antone
(32:04):
alone taken over by this trend de Aragua. This gang
is is more brutal than MS thirteen. They're more sophisticated,
they're more violent. This is bad stuff for folks who
really don't understand or explain how bad these groups are
that are coming in now.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Well, you know, Michael, if you listen to ABC News,
Martha Raddick said, it's you know, it's only a handful
of apartment complexes, no big deal, just a handful that
have been taken over by violent Venezuelan gangs that are
terrorizing the people there. I mean, what ridiculous propaganda from
the corporate media. Trendor Arragua is a very dangerous gang.
(32:45):
It started as a prison gang in Venezuela. And the
reason we're seeing so much from Venezuela is because of
a very deliberate decision by Nicholas Maduro, the dictator in Venezuela.
He is emptying his jail. He's saying, all right, give
me all the murderers we have, let's send them to America.
Give me all the rapists, give me all the child molesters,
(33:07):
give me all this whole prison gang. These guys are bad,
bad news. They're killing Venezuelans, They're raping Venezuelan women, they're
raping Venezuelan children. You know what, Get rid of them all,
send them all to America. And it's the same thing.
Remember Fidel Castro did with the Mario boat List. He
emptied out both his prisons and his insane asylums, and
(33:28):
we had a huge crime surge because he sent a
bunch of violence criminals to America. That is exactly what
Maduro is doing, and we're seeing them. One of the
two people who raped and murdered Joscelyn Nungary, it's now
been reported, was a Venezuelan gang member. The illegal immigrants
(33:50):
who broke into the woman's home in Dallas, who tied
her up, who terrorized her at gunpoint, who pistol whipped
her with their guns, who her house, who threatened to
cut her fingers off, they were Venezuelan gang members. As
you mentioned, the groups that took over apartment complexes in
(34:11):
San Antonio were Venezuelan gang members. They've also taken over
apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado. They've also taken over apartment
complexes in Chicago, Illinois. And these are violent, vicious gangs
that are being empowered by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
and Colin already their policies of cash and relief, they
(34:33):
are deliberately releasing violent illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Senator Ted Cruz, thank you very much. I know you're
in the middle of a fifty three city tour and
I know it's going to make a difference. Folks can
start voting early in Texas come this Monday.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Good luck, my.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
Friend, Thank you, my friend. God bless.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
We talked during the break with Senator Cruz and I
asked him the one question Ramona.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Gave me to ask him, which I think you're gonna
want to hear that answer.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
We'll get to that in a bit, but coming up,
Kamala Harris's interview with Fox News yesterday went worse or
I'd like to think better, and you could possibly.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Imagine to share some of that with you.
