congressman allred of texas. amazing. announcing it s his first day, he is running for senate in texas against senator cruz. there is a thing, i don t really understand about this candidacy, so it s gonna be my first question, and that is, what s not to like about ted cruz? [laughter] what? does he rub some people the wrong way? ted cruz? apparently. so i don t know, lawrence. i m eager to see what allred has to. say. i should not have tipped my first question like that. have a great show. thank you. john douglass was the tucker carlson of 19th century london. he was, in every way, a terrible person. when his father died, he inherited his father s absurd title of marquis of queensbury at age 14. tucker carlson s upbringing is the 20th century american version of lauren queensbury s upbringing. they were both born rich enough to never have to work day in their lives. they were both students who never achieved any high academic distinction. like many of the
formula anywhere. but it certainly has to be the approach here in texas. what do you expect to be the leading issues in this campaign a year from now when you are deep into the election year? well, the fact is that ted cruz is an extremist. he s an extremist who wants to ban all abortions, wants to make every decision for women in, i think, one of the most difficult moments in a woman s life. he s someone who wants to cut social security and medicare. he brags about that. he is somebody who does not try at all to actually solve any problems in this country. over the last ten years, when he has been in the united states senate, he has used his position in the senate to pit americans against each other, to pit texans against each other. he s honestly busier being a podcaster, which he does three times a week, than actually being a senator. texans deserve a better senator. and we don t have to be embarrassed by our senator. we can get a new one. and that s the beauty of our democracy.
