Ted Cruz disagrees Donald Trump is jeopardizing state races | On Balance

>> KEEP THINKING ABOUT WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT. BUT LET'S JUST CONSIDER TRUMP'S WEEK WE'VE LEARNED HIS RUNNING MATE, JD VANCE WAS DESPAIRED. THE TEACHERS UNION PRESIDENT FOR PUSHING POLICY WHEN SHE DOESN'T HAVE BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN AND RFK JUNIOR ALLEGEDLY CUT OFF THE HEAD OF A WHALE WITH A CHAINSAW. TO BE FAIR, WE LEARNED ABOUT THE WHALE AND THE CHAINSAW AFTER TRUMP NAMED RFK CO-CHAIR OFOF HIS TRANSITION COMMITTEE. BUT TRUMP'S ANTICS ARE JUST HURTING TRUMP OR TRUMP'S DECISIONS. SEE IF YOU CALL THEM ANTICS. THAT'S UP TO YOU. TAKE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE CRUCIAL SENATE RACE IN TEXAS. NEW POLLING FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON SHOWS REPUBLICAN SENATOR TED CRUZ NOW WITH A 2 POINT LEAD OVER DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER CONGRESSMAN COLIN ALLRED. BACK IN JANUARY, THE SAME POLLING HAD CREWS UP 9. SENATOR CRUZ IS WITH US NOW. MEMBER OF THE JUDICIARY AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE FROM TYLER, TEXAS. IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. DO ANY OF THE WAY TO ASK THIS? BUT DIRECTLY IS DONALD TRUMP BECOMING A DRAG ON REPUBLICANS? NO, I DON'T THINK SO AT ALL. I THINK DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO WIN IN NOVEMBER. AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE REPUBLICANS TAKE THE SENATE. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE HOUSE. LOOK WHERE RIGHT NOW AT A MOMENT KAMALA HARRIS IS ENJOYING A SUGAR HIGH. SHE HAS NAMED AS THE NOMINEE WITHOUT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTING FOR FOR PRESIDENT. BUT SHE'S BEEN NAMED AS THE NOMINEE AND FOR A THE MEDIA HAS BEEN DOING A RELENTLESS PROPAGANDA, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF PROPAGANDA TRYING TO PROPER UP IN THAT ENTIRE MONTH. >> KAMALA HARRIS IS DOWN 0 MEDIA INTERVIEWS. SHE'S DONE 0 PRESS CONFERENCES. THEIR STRATEGY IS THEY TAKE OR TO TEND TO A BASEMENT. I GUESS JOE BIDEN'S BASEMENT WHERE THEY KEPT HIM AND THEY HIDE HER FROM EVER ANSWERING A QUESTIOAND THEN LELAN. THE REASON THEY DO THAT IS BECAUSE COLLINS RECORD IS TERRIBLE. KAMALA, HIS RECORD HAS BEEN A DISASTER FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I THINK MOST ELECTIONS ARE DECIDED BY THE VERY SIMPLE QUESTION. ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE 4 YEARS AGO? AND I THINK FOR JUST ABOUT EVERY AMERICAN, THE ANSWER IS NO. AND SO MY VIEW AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET, DONALD TRUMP, THE PATH TO VICTORY IS FOCUS ON THE ISSUES, FOCUS OUT ON PEOPLE'S LIVES. WE WERE DOING MUCH, MUUCH BETTER WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT AND IN MY RACE HERE IN TEXAS, IT'S THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. MY OPPONENT, COLIN ALLRED, A VERY, VERY LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN, IS DOING. KAMALA HARRIS'S EXACT SAME STRATEGY. HE'S HIDING IN THE BASEMENT. HE DOES ALMOST NO MEDIA INTERVIEWS. IT'S BEEN 63 DAYS SINCE COLIN ALLRED HAS DONE A PRESS CONFERENCE. I'VE DONE 12 PRESS CONFERENCES IN THAT SAME PERIOD OF TIME VERY AS THAT LEARNED THAT THE RECORD WE'VE MADE THAT POINT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT KAMALA AND YOU NEED IS IN IS A VERY VALID ONE. >> THE FACT OF THE MATTER, THOUGH, IS IT'S WORKING REPUBLICANS HAVE YET TO SEEM TO FIND A WAY TO COUNTER IT. WHY IS THAT? >> WELL, LOOK, I THINK THE WAY TO COUNTER IT IS TO FOCUS ON THE ISSUES AND FOCUS ON ON THE BORDER. KAMALA HARRIS SPENT 4 YEARS AS THE BORDERS ARE. AND AND THE BORDER IS A DISASTER. IF THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE IN TEXAS NUMBER ONE ISSUE IN THE COUNTRY, KAMALA HARRIS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AN INVASION AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF 11 AND A HALF MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS. COLIN ALLRED, MY OPPONENT, HAS VOTED REPEATEDLY IN FAVOR OF THOSE OPEN BORDERS. AND YET BOTH OF THEM NOW ARE RUNNING CAMPAIGN AND PRETENDED TO BE TOUGH ON THE BORDER. SUDDENLY YESTERDAY, KAMALA HARRIS SUDDENLY DECIDED SHE WAS FOR A BORDER WALL. DESPITE SAYING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, SHE WOULD NEVER SUPPORTED COLIN ALLRED MIGHT TO AND KNOW WHAT IT WAS. AN AMERICAN. >> BUT THE MORE THE WATER WAS IN AMERICA I GET ALL I DID ALL THAT. I GET ALL THAT. BUT I KEEP HEARING FROM REPUBLICAN TONIGHT FOR HER JUST SINCE THE FIRST WEEK THAT KAMALA HARRIS BECAME COORDINATED AS THE NOMINEE THAT SUGAR HIGH WAS GOING TO END. I'M NOT ASKING ABOUT THE ISSUES. I'M ASKING YOU. HOW ARE REPUBLICANS GOING TO GET A WIN IN CHANGE THE CONVERSATION WHEN SO FAR FOR 40 DAYS, YOU ALL HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO. >> YEAH, LOOK, IT'S INCUMBENT ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN TO FOCUS ON THE ISSUES ON HOW. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE WORSE OFF UNDER KAMALA HARRI AND THEY WERE UNDER DONALD TRUMP DONALD TRUMP. WE HAD RECORD PROSPERITY WE HAD AFTER THE 2017 TAX CUT. WE HAD THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT IN 50 YEARS WITH THE LOWEST AFRICAN-AMERICAN UNEMPLOYMENT EVER RECORDED THE LOWEST HISPANIC UNEMPLOYMENT EVER RECORDED WITH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE COMING OFF FOOD STAMPS AND COMING INTO PROSPERITY. WE ALSO SECURE THE BORDER. I WORKED HAND-IN-HAND WITH DONALD TRUMP. WE PRODUCED THE LOWEST RATE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IN 45 YEARS. THE RECORD OF JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS AND COLIN ALLRED HAS BEEN DISASTROUS FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS. YOU KNOW, I'M JOKING UNLESS YOU HAPPEN TO BE A BIG TECH BILLIONAIRE OR A MEXICAN DRUG LORD. AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU'RE EITHER ONE OF THOSE, IF YOU'RE A MEXICAN DRUG LORD, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS BECAUSE SHE HAS THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLY GOOD FOR YOU. BUT IF YOU'RE A WORKING FAMILY, INFLATION CRIME, THE INVASION AT THE BORDER, EVERY ONE OF THOSE HAS BEEN A FAILURE. AND SO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, I THINK, NEEDS TO FOCUS ON THOSE AND I CAN PROMISE YOU IN TEXAS, THAT'S WHAT I'M FOCUSED ON IS LED OUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY RECORD OF PRODUCING RESULTS AND COLIN ALLRED, EXTREME LEFT-WING RECORD THAT IS HURTING TEXANS. >> AND I WANT TO BE FAIR WHERE WE CAN BE. WE'VE ASKED COLIN ALLRED TO COME ON A NUMBER OF TIMES. HE REFUSES TO YOU ARE OFTEN NICE ENOUGH TO GIVE US TIME, WHICH WE ARE, WHICH WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR AND COME ON AND HAVE A DISCUSSION IN ALREADY HAS A LONG HISTORY OF OF DODGING THE PRESS. WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS. TAKE A LISTEN. >> IT OVER 2 CALLING FOR THE RELEASE OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM LAST COULD DESIGNED TO ONE THING SECOND. INTO CIVILIAN ROUTE. 37 DOING PLACE. FORTY-FIVE'S BORDER POLICY A GOOD LOOK. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAVING FEDERAL BE ON FEDERAL PROPERTY AS YOU DO IT. POINT, THE POINT IS THIS A KAMALA HARRIS, COLIN ALLRED, MOST DEMOCRATS RIGHT NOW ARE RUNNING THE SAME KIND OF CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THEY CAN. YOU MADE THE POINT JUST NOW THAT IT IS INCUMBENT ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN DONALD TRUMP TO TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES AS YOU JUST A VERY ARTICULATE WE'VE DONE. BUT HE'S HE'S NOT DOING THAT. HE'S TALKING ABOUT WIND TURBINES IN JESUS COUNTING VOTES IN CALIFORNIA. GOP BILLIONAIRE DONOR ERIC LEVINE BY A JEWISH INSIDE OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN PROBABLY ANNOUNCE THAT ROBERT F KENNEDY JUNIOR TULSI GABBARD ARE BEING ADDED TO HIS TRANSITION TEAM. IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE A MORE SELF-DESTRUCTIVE ANNOUNCEMENT AT WHAT POINT DO REPUBLICANS NEED TO WORRY THE DONALD TRUMP IS NOT DOING THE VERY THINGS THAT YOU JUST SAID HE NEEDS TO BE DOING. LET ME SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE, I CAN'T LET THAT CLIP YOU JUST PLAYED OF COLIN ALLRED GO BY WITHOUT OBSERVING WHAT HE SAID. THERE WAS UTTER NONSENSE. THIS IS FEDERAL PROPERTY. I'M GONNA CALL THE CAPITOL POLICE. HE'S AT THE U.S. CAPITOL EVERY DAY IN THE U.S. CAPITOL. THE REPORTERS EVERYWHERE THAT ASKING A QUESTION, I ANSWER PROBABLY 50 QUESTIONS FROM A REPORTER EVERY DAY IN THE CAPITAL. AND SO THE BIZARRE IDEA I'M GOING TO SEND HENCHMAN TO LOCK YOU UP. HOW DARE YOU? ASK ME A QUESTION. THAT'S JUST WEIRD. LELAND. YOU SPENT TIME IN THE CAPITAL. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING IS TRUE. >> BUT IT LISTEN, THAT'S EXACT. YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT KAMALA HARRIS IS DOING DOING AS WELL. I WILL SAY ON ON YOUR SECOND POINT, THE QUESTION YOU ASKED. I DISAGREE WITH THAT COMMENT. I ACTUALLY THINK BODY KENNEDY ENDORSING DONALD TRUMP IS A REALLY GOOD THING. IT'S A BIG DEVELOPMENT. YOU LOOK AT KENNEDY RIGHT NOW. HE WAS POLLING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 3 AND 6% IN THE SWING STATE. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THOSE CANDIDATES YOU DONALD TRUMP AS FAR PREFERABLE TO KAMALA HARRIS. SO I THINK THAT ENDORSEMENT ALONE COULD BE WORTH ONE TO 2 POINTS IN THE SWING STATE. THAT'S A BIG DEAL. AND I THINK A LOT OF THE MEDIA TRYING TO PROVE POET ARE DIMINISHING. WHAT IS UNQUESTIONABLY A GOOD WHEN I ALSO THOUGHT TULSI GABBARD SPEECH ENDORSING DONALD TRUMP, SHE'S A VETERAN. SHE CARES ABOUT MATTER SHE'S BEEN A DEMOCRAT HER WHOLE LIFE. SHE WAS A DEMOCRAT. CONGRESSWOMAN. I THAT WAS REALLY POWERFUL THAT THAT TRUMKA IS FIGHTING FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE MILITARY AND THAT KAMALA, HIS RECORD ON THE MILITARY IS DISASTROUS. YOU LOOK AT THE CATASTROPHIC WITHDRAW FROM AFGHANISTAN, 13 DEAD SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN NEITHER CHOLERA JOE BIDEN COVERED. EVEN BOTHER TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT'S POWERFUL. AND SO I THOUGHT MOST OF THOSE WERE REALLY SIGNIFICANT AND POSITIVE FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND POSITIVE FOR REPUBLICANS NATIONALLY. >> SENATOR, ENJOY THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. WE ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOU TAKING TIME WITH US. I AS WE AS WE MENTIONED, GOD FOR MISTER ALLRED TO CAUTION ALL WHAT'S TO COME ON. YEAH, HE'S ALWAYS WELCOME. THANK SENATOR. WE APPRECIATE IT. >> LEYLAND, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND LET ME ENCOURAGE FOLKS GO TO OUR WEBSITE. IT'S TED CRUZ DOUBT OR TED CRUZ DOT ORG. I WAS WAITING FOR IT'S A 2 POINT RACE. IT IS A 2 POINT RACE. WE'VE HAD 2 POLLS THAT SHOW IT HAS A 2 POINT RACE AND AND CHUCK SCHUMER SPENDING OVER 100 MILLION DOLLARS WAGERED I GET COME TO TED CRUZ DOWN TOWARD. IT'S COMING RIGHT
