DIFFERENT. WE HAVE THREE INTERVIEWS AND A
COUPLE OF RACES.
WE WILL HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE FINAL WEEK AND HALF OF THE
CAMPAIGN.
CAMPAIGN.
CAMPAIGN. >> THE FINAL DAYS.
HOW DO YOU MAKE UP TIME NOW?
THOUGH I WOULDN'T SAY THAT WE
ARE DOWN.
ARE DOWN.
ARE DOWN. A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WE VISIT
WITH ARE NOT REFLECTED IN
ANYONE'S POLES.
ANYONE'S POLES. PEOPLE WHO DON'T TYPICALLY VOTE
WILL VOTE.
WILL VOTE. STUDENTS ARE GETTING REGISTERED
TO VOTE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
PEOPLE DROPPED OUT AND ARE BACK
IN BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS ON THE
LINE.
LINE.
LINE. I
LINE. I FEEL GOOD ABOUT OUR CHANCES
AND WE HAVE SO MANY VOLUNTEERS
THAT ARE OUT THERE KNOCKING ON
DOORS AND MAKING PHONE CALLS.
THEY ARE MAKING THIS FINAL
PITCH FOR OUR ABILITY TO DECIDE
THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY.
>> YOUR RALLIES ARE
SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER THAN THOSE
OF CREWS, WHY IS THAT NOT
REFLECTED IN THE POLES?
GO I CONTEND THAT THE POLES MAY
OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PREDICT
THE OUTCOME OF THESE POLITICAL
RACES ANYMORE, NOT IN THE WAY
THAT THEY USE TO.
I WILL PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY
MOUTH IS.
MOUTH IS.
MOUTH IS. I HAVE NOT HIRED A POLLSTER.
WE DON'T PUT ANY RESOURCES INTO
DOING POLLS.
DOING POLLS. WE ARE SHOWING UP FOR PEOPLE
ARE AND LISTENING TO THEM.
EVERYONE IN EVERY COUNTY IS
BEING COUNTED ON AT THIS MOMENT
TO TURN OUT FOR THE STATE AND
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE BEEN THERE
LISTENING. WE DON'T
DISCRIMINATE.
DISCRIMINATE. EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO BE A
PART OF THIS.
YOU WILL SEE AT THAT -- AND YOU
WILL SEE THAT AT THE POLLS ON
THE SIXTH.
THE SIXTH. >> IS THERE A TURNOUT NUMBER
THAT YOU NEED TO HIT?
WHAT NUMBER DO YOU NEED TO WIN?
NO I DON'T KNOW.
THERE MAY BE SOMEONE ON OUR
TEAM THAT HAS DONE A PROJECTION
ON, THIS IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE.
I AM GOING AS HARD AS HUMANLY
POSSIBLE.
POSSIBLE.
POSSIBLE. WHAT EVER THE NUMBER IS, IT
WILL TAKE EVERYTHING THAT WE
HAVE AND GOING TO EVERY
COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD TO
MAKE SURE WE CONNECT WITH
EVERYBODY.
EVERYBODY. THOUGH THERE ARE SOME PLACES
THAT THOSE SEATS MAY GO BLUE
BECAUSE OF THE TURNOUT TO VOTE
FOR YOU.
FOR YOU.
FOR YOU. IF MORE SEATS GO BLUE, WILL YOU
BE HAPPY?
BE HAPPY?
BE HAPPY? >> NO.
>> NO.
>> NO. I'M IN THIS TO WIN THIS.
I DON'T WANT TO RUN THE
CAMPAIGN JUST TO RUN IT I WANT
TO RUN IT TO WIN.
SO, ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT
ARE COUNTING ON US, THE
TEACHERS WORKING SECOND JOBS
THAT WANT TO BE PAID A LIVING
WAGE, WE UNDERSTAND
IMMIGRATION.
IMMIGRATION. IN A STATE THAT IS THE LEAST IN
SHORT IN THE UNITED STATES, WE
NEED TO LEAD THE WAY ON HIGH-
QUALITY HEALTHCARE WE HAVE TO
WIN TO ACHIEVE THOSE THINGS.
WE ARE FOCUSED ON THAT.
THOUGH SOME DEMOCRATS WONDER WHY
YOU ARE NOT LINKING YOUR
OPPONENT TO THE PRESIDENT. WHAT
YOU TELL THEM?
>> I WAS LIKE THE ENERGY OF THE
PEOPLE OF THE STATE.
WE ARE NOT ORGANIZED AGAINST
ANYBODY OR ANYTHING.
WE ARE ORGANIZED FOR THIS
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE
DEFINED BY OUR POSITIONS.
THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO
ARE POSSIBLE IF WE DECIDE WE
WANT TO DO THEM TOGETHER.
WE NEED TO EXPAND MENTAL HEALTH
CARE FOR VETERANS.
THIS HAS TO BE DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS.
REPUBLICANS. THAT IS WAY WE GET THINGS DONE
IN THIS COUNTRY, WORKING WITH
ANYONE ANYWHERE ANYTIME AS LONG
AS IT ADVANCES PRIORITIES.
>> YOU SAID THE NATION NEEDS
MORE BALLOTS. THOUGH I THINK
HAVING MORE BALANCE IN CONGRESS
IS GOING TO BE HELPFUL.
FORCING CONSENSUS AND
COMPROMISE, THOSE ARE DIRTY
WORDS RIGHT NOW, THAT IS
SOMETHING FOR OUR DEMOCRACY.
HAVING A SHARED INTEREST IN THE
OUTCOMES AND BEING ABLE TO GIVE
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. THAT SHOULD DISTINGUISH ASH.
TEXAS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LEAD
THE WAY.
THE WAY.
THE WAY. ARE YOU TOO LIBERAL FOR TEXAS?
>> WE COULD PICK AN ISSUE, ANY
ISSUE.
ISSUE.
ISSUE. MAKING SURE THE TEACHERS ARE
PAID A LIVABLE WAGE.
IMMIGRATION, MAKING SURE
DREAMERS CAN STAY HERE.
HEALTHCARE, MAKE SURE EVERYONE
CAN LIVE TO THEIR FULL
POTENTIAL.
POTENTIAL. I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU CAN TAKE
THOSE ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM.
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT PEOPLE
WANT TO SEE US WORK ON.
IF WE START WITH THE GOALS,
THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE
AND THEN IF EVERYONE SITS AT
THE TABLE AND COMES UP WITH A
SOLUTION, WE CAN LEAD.
WE CAN BE AT THIS DIVIDED
HIGHWAY, THE STRENGTH, COURAGE,
CONFIDENCE, THE WILLINGNESS TO
WORK TOGETHER THAT THE COUNTRY
HAS BEEN MISSING FOR FAR TOO
LONG.
LONG.
LONG. >>
LONG. >> IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU
ALREADY WISH YOU HAD DONE
DIFFERENTLY? YOU WANT TO ALL
THESE COUNTIES AND POLITICS AS
USUAL WAS WHAT YOU CAMPAIGNED
AGAINST.
AGAINST.
AGAINST. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD
CHANGE?
CHANGE?
CHANGE? >> NO.
>> NO.
>> NO. THIS IS BEEN THE MOST SIX --
AMAZING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE
OUTSIDE OF FAMILY.
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THIS
CAMPAIGN, NOT THE CANDIDATE OR
THE POLITICAL PARTIES, THEY
HAVE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH.
THEY HAVE LEFT ME MORE INSPIRED
THAN I HAVE EVER BEEN.
THAT IS AGAINST SOME OF THE
DISAPPOINTMENTS THAT WE HAVE
FELT IN THIS COUNTRY.
I AM HONORED TO BE PART OF
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. I
THIS. I FEEL VERY GRATEFUL.
>> YOU'VE SEEN THE HEADLINES.
THEY SAY YOU ARE NOT RUNNING
FOR SENATE ANYMORE INSTEAD
LOOKING AT 2020.
WHAT YOU TELL PEOPLE WHO WONDER
IF YOU HAVE HIGHER ASPIRATIONS?
>> I TELL THEM I DON'T.
MY ANSWER IS THAT NO.
I AM NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
>> EVER?
>> EVER?
>> EVER? OR RIGHT NOW?
>> FOR THE NEXT SIX YEARS.
I WENT TO SERVE EVERY SINGLE
DAY IN THE SENATE AND DELIVER
ON OUR PRIORITIES.
WE NEED TO COME THROUGH FOR THE
COMMUNITIES HERE YOU CAN'T DO
THAT AND RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY
AT THE SAME TIME.
WE SAW THAT WHEN TED CRUZ LEFT
THE STATE TO DO THAT.
>> WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T
WIN?
WIN?
WIN? THOUGH I HAVE AN 11-YEAR-OLD
AND A NINE-YEAR-OLD AND A SEVEN-
YEAR-OLD. I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT I'M THERE FOR MY KIDS. I
NEED TO HELP AMY.
SHE IS HAD THE BURDEN DURING
THIS CAMPAIGN.
THIS CAMPAIGN. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ARE THERE FOR OUR KIDS.
THAT IS OUR PRIORITY AFTER 6
NOVEMBER.
NOVEMBER.
NOVEMBER. >> DOESN'T THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN FUND RAISE
LIKE YOU CAN?
>> IN THIS COUNTRY, I AM
CONFIDENT THERE ARE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE WHO WILL BE SUPERIOR
CANDIDATES TO ANYTHING THAT I
CAN DO.
CAN DO.
CAN DO. I
CAN DO. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT
RACE.
RACE.
RACE. OTHER PEOPLE ARE LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT.
I AM FOCUSED ON TAXES.
>> YOU WANT A TAX ON OIL.
DALLAS-FORT WORTH HAS A LOT OF
OIL MONEY.
OIL MONEY. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?
>> HE WANTED TO TRY TO SCARE
YOU AND OTHERS.
THOUGH THERE WAS A VOTE ON A
RESOLUTION?
RESOLUTION? THOUGH THERE WAS.
THE RESOLUTION WOULD HAVE TIED
THE PRESIDENT'S HANDS AS HE
TRIED TO RAISE THE NECESSARY
MONEY TO PAY FOR OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE.
INFRASTRUCTURE. WE ARE ALSO A TRADING STATE.
ARE FARMERS, RANCHERS,
PRODUCERS, MANUFACTURERS ARE
LOOKING FOR MARKETS AROUND THE
WORLD.
WORLD.
WORLD. OF
WORLD. OF WINTER HAVE THE ROADS AND
BRIDGES AND HIGHWAYS TO CONNECT
THAT AND WHAT WE BRING TO THOSE
MARKETS, WE WILL LOSE THE JOBS
WE ARE CREATING.
ALL OF MY VOTES THAT IS THAT I
DON'T WANT TO TIE THE
PRESIDENT'S HANDS AND HOW HE
CAN RAISE THAT REVENUE.
THERE WAS NO TAX BEING
PROPOSED.
PROPOSED.
PROPOSED. I THINK THIS IS THE KIND OF
FEAR, THAT RESOLUTION WAS PUT
FORWARD SO IT COULD BECOME A
CAMPAIGN ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD.
I'M FOCUSED ON SOLUTIONS.
I SUPPORT THE OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRY.
INDUSTRY.
INDUSTRY. THOSE THAT ARE WORKING SHOULD
HAVE OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE IS
SUPPORTED.
SUPPORTED. WE NEED TO DO THAT RESPONSIBLY.
WE ARE MOVING OUT, NUMBER 5 FOR
COULD BE NUMBER ONE IN SOLAR.
THOSE KINDS OF ENERGY JOBS
ALLOW US TO MEET OUR
OBLIGATIONS AND ARE THE FASTEST
GROWING JOBS IN THE UNITED
STATES TODAY.
