so Ted Cruz was interviewed by Jorge travelers on
fusion TV which is the new ABC venture that launched this week
and I it was actually fairly contentious debate he started
by asking him if chris has any plans to run for president in 2016
but we hurried just just recently and he said
that you did a lot of damage to the country that it was very damaging when
you did and he said he was very damaging
and he said that you did because you want to run for president you know
there's a lot of parts and animals this town and it's unfortunate
it is what it do you look my focus is on representing 26 million Texans and
bringing back jobs and economic growth
I am somebody but what I really saying that that you did everything because you
want to run for president
you know neither is it does not a conversation you wanna have any
yet or that there is a classic political strategy that if you can't defend the
substance you try to change the time do you wanna run for president
my focus is on the US senate that's right if you can't defend the substance
you change the topic which I'm pretty sure is exactly what he did
right there is there any chance that this guy is not running in 2016 I mean
this whole thing
yet are you telling my way right from one from Iowa and next week is going to
be in South Carolina
just getting that little incidents that has nothing to do with presidential
aspirations
two lovely American states that one take christopher's greco
he said that he is most interested in representing the $29 million texans
yes what are you saying he's a lot you know I you know I if that's what is
interested I'm gonna take it with a side that everything he says seems to be the
gospel truth
you know %eh it up but he was trying to do with their day when he was saying
that
listen we're gonna J you know that there are people here classic partisanship
they're trying to change the subject
he is somebody who will not you know who is trying to change the subject
every single piece of legislation has to do with
repealing Obamacare so whatever the legislation is Ted Cruz stands up in the
world the sentences
yep it is about Obamacare we have to do this but Obama here so he is
you know I would I would imagine the number one
wall breaker when it cut when it comes to to criticize what he just said
but but the point he's making here about whether or not he wants to be president
the rancor and all that it is the 26 million people in texas
who right now are dealing with John Cornyn running for election is a leader
senator there next year
and they are a little bit tired themselves as they are in Utah with Mike
Lee
up up having these are this is not me just assuming at this is not a hunch I
had this at these are numbers is our polls I think the American safe in
Austin to the
that that there are they are really upset
with the fact that he is not representing Texans are four senators
different that %uh that are
the rap but it it's a big frustration protection so I don't think I I don't
know who he is a bit like so then what is an angle that is at least not going
to the base in Texas then hootie really air
who don't work greg is gonna put place with you're saying
that the people in texas don't like Ted Cruz line 0 that seem shocking cuz they
sent them to Washington but
I and they elected him the the republicans in tatters a poem
have I guess 1291 8.3 percent better
up to chill kidding I know many
that but the the republicans in texas had a pretty contentious
primary there with david Dewhurst who was a lieutenant governor in sort of the
party anointed you know now I guess moderates Republican would scare the
pants off a view
I anyway I and and he he lost edgar's one and and and won the election so
in point of fact the I'm I don't know what the number of Texans that really
wanted crews
to be there senator is because me he did with bill he is fantastically what he is
masterful
at the inner taking control of an interview although he kinda met his
match in oh no that he got where almost the fusion was spent at all he was
fantastic
and but normally he you know and nine out of 10
journalists he's gonna get over on them just by changing the subject
you know he does that being at he answers the question that he wants them
to ask Matt yeah let me ask and they never get back to tell us what makes him
a senator
yeah exactly you know I saw him being interviewed I sir Alan Dershowitz who
taught him
at Harvard being interviewed by Piers Morgan and he said he was probably the
best to tlie ever had he didn't agree with him
I most the stuff but his ability to argue yes and make a point that
seamlessly like he just falls right into it and whoever did the projection
and change the subject an answer the question he wants ass is that the one
that was
what he's doing it all the time in the projection things as they are you know
the first parson shipper
so he do whatever he's the most guilty over 20 project not to
his opponents yeah well jim has given me a perfect segue here because they
continue the interview and they were talking about immigration and let's
watch some projection
since we're talking about your father your father became a citizen in 2005
right why don't you people other immigrants the same possibly the same
opportunity that your father ham
you know what about the citizenship well you had the opportunity
as you know I am a passionate advocate for immigration reform
but I think the way to pass immigration enable them think that way
well but but but but I am nonetheless and
yep I think the way to actually pass immigration reform
is to focus on areas a bipartisan agreement uploaded what we do with those
who are already here simply that's a that's a problem a path to citizenship
for those who came here illegally
in my view I think that is unfair to the millions of
legal immigrants awaiting years sometimes decades in line to come here
but your father had a chance in
and you were a dreamer I mean you can from Canada well
and and then you don't wanna give them a chance to the dream with my father came
here legally
and as you did yeah as millions of Americans did
will Obama enters it matters that you follow the law and
but we can transpose loss you can change those lost and
but listen you and I have both spent a lot of time on the board yeah
and and we know the human tragedies that happen
because the illegal immigration is really interesting the perception
because many people think that the US and
and take immigrant I seventy nothing could be further from the truth
okay so he relisted a pretty nice job there I think
other you now sorted asking direct questions and not taking the bsa before
we get to the Fed radio clip for eternity up
where you came from Canada exactly how the hell is a helper
but before we get to the substance a bit what do you make of take cruises just
his body language and
the way he the inflection in his boys and and
there's something about him that strikes me as the most politician the politician
possible well to me it flies right of like it to me it's a psycho creepy guy
is this
is trying to sell me a car right that's weird because I believe you are just
like 0
by I don't think most people see through I think his but his big sincere the Kia
politics is a sincere get what you can fake it
and I think he fakes it really well for most other people don't you think
I i do i mean here's the thing I think he does take it you look at
something like Steny Hoyer who is to me the ultimate use calls up a used car
salesman
looking pollen to congress yeah listen to what he is saying
you know he saying the right things and is career in congress has been doing the
right things when you
look at him and you don't listen what he's saying he kinda creeps you out
because he
the big smile when the perfect a rare find and you know it
all seems fake this guy is scary because
it's real and it looks like it too real to me that that made it you know he's
got this used car salesman the body it looks like he's making the sales what I
should say
right and that's what's scary about to go see also look I at and Ben and I have
discussed this before but he looks like up
like joe mccarthy yes yeah whenever and and yeah I don't think he's saying
but common assault the camera and the directors in front of the cam yes
at it a lot of it reminds you joe mccarthy and I was not a lot
yeah like is up but even to the point of his bald spot
is said yeah I think you're the front right there the way they coleman yeah
in this way too creepy I yeah I think they held their tension in the same spot
a baby that's probably why I say let's get to the let's get to the
the you know the me to what he was talking about I think was clever work
RAM listed
mentioning his father yeah that kinda put him on the spot but in a mild the
Fed to take Chris he said well my father did come here
legally but so is there is a raw deal with that is there any legal immigration
in this country the pic the people
that he says that you know he says that to the a polar opposite was true or
whatever he said thats
I could not be further from the truth that's wrong because when he talked
about it
immigration but he is talking about people who did not come in here under
asylum as his father presumably did coming from cuba
but but the people the cuban-american experience in america
is not the immigrant experience not the average and so he does not have
any clue about that he is it noted that same with local rubia who's from a state
with a light was it has
huge immigration issues from from Central America from the caribbean basin
and and so it's a very very different conversation
that they've been exposed to as advocates for immigration then
them what so when you look at the names rubielyn crews and you see this Hispanic
name
it it reflects nothing about what they remember experiences and the one that
they're trying to advocate for
yet do you do you guys think that the people who come here illegally should be
in front like that seems to be his big thing that you've done something wrong
even though we need these people in our society and they become important pieces
of our society
that he believes that that is so wrong that they have to get back to that like
even if they've been here for 20 years
and if families here and I'll well you know it just hit a
we've been trying it their way for ever and yet so it's not working again it's
not working in
and you get you can keep drugs out of a prison you're not going to keep
yeah able-bodied workers I have an economy that needs them
