1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio News. 2 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 2: Joining me now are Republican Senators Ted Cruz of Texas 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 2: and Katie Britt of Alabama. Thank you both for joining 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 2: Bloomberg Television. 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 3: Here in New York. 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 2: You're out with a joint up ed this morning in 7 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal the title visit will protect both 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: life and IVF. You're announcing a bill today through this 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 2: legislation that would require as a condition your words of 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: receiving federal medicaid funding that states don't prohibit IVF. Now, 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: concerns about IVF stemmed really, Senator Britt, from your state 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: of Alabama. 13 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 3: The Supreme Court came. 14 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: Out they said that these embryos in iff they are 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 2: considered children under the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act. 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 2: And then Alabama legislator moved past the bill that would 17 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: protect IVF. So why is a national bill needed if 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: the legislator just acted on behalf of basically telling the 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: Supreme Court in Alabama that's wrong and this is not 20 00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: where the American people are. 21 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 4: Unfortunately, we've seen a number of people try to fear 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 4: monger on this very issue, and so Ted and I 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 4: came together and we believe this effort should be bipartisan 24 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 4: to make sure that every parent across the country who 25 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 4: wants to bring life into this world and maybe struggling 26 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 4: with infertility or others, but wants to use IVF to 27 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 4: create the miracle of life it bring it into the world, 28 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 4: has a certainty that that's going to be available to them. 29 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 4: And so we're excited about it and believe that it's 30 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 4: something we can move forward and move forward quickly. 31 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 3: Saat Gruzman. 32 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't Republicans sign up for Senator Duckwertz bill earlier 33 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: this year, which then actually would have protected what happened 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: in Alabama. 35 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: Well, because that bill is a very different bill. That 36 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: bill really seeks to backdoor in broader abortion legislation, which 37 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: is where the Democrats are. 38 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 3: But that's not IVF. 39 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: Our bill is very simple, and it's very focused, and 40 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: it is designed to protect IVF. IVF is miraculous medical technology. 41 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: It enables millions of parents to have children, to be moms, 42 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: to be dads of live bursts in America right now 43 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: today come from IVF. It's incredible, and both Katie and 44 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: I agree that IVF is incredibly pro family that we 45 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: should be standing and helping parents who want to raise kids. 46 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: And what happened when the Mama Supreme Court decision came out. 47 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: There was a lot of confusion, there was a lot 48 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: of fear, There was a lot of misunderstanding, and people 49 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: did not want anything to threaten IBF. I agree with that, 50 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: Katie agrees with that, and so we came together and said, 51 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: let's draft a simple, straightforward federal bill that creates a 52 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: federal right that you, as a parent, have a right 53 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: to have access to IVF. If you want to have 54 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: a child and you need medical assistance to do so, 55 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: that should be your right. This is a bill I 56 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: think that should be overwhelmingly bipartisan. The Senate should pass 57 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: this bill one hundred to nothing. We'll see if they 58 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: do or not, but on the merits, that's what should happen. 59 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: Center Duckworks bill though talked about, and it clearly asserts 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: that this is about quote assisted reproductive technology and ensure 61 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: ability to cover those procedures. So in that case, do 62 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: you guys think Democrats you can get a bipartisan legislation, 63 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: why not just work with Senator Duckworth. 64 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: Well, it depends the way the Duckworth Bill is written. 65 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: It's very broad. There's a reason that no Republicans supported 66 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: it because it was ostensibly about IVF. But whatever, it 67 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: was written to give the federal government authority over abortion, 68 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: potentially to strike down laws governing abortion and states all 69 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: across the country. And that I get, that's the Democrats' agenda. 70 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, why. 71 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: Not have bipartisanship on both because overwhelmingly Americans if but overwhelmingly, 72 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: and you come from states that have very restrictive abortion policies. 73 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: Even majority of Republicans think abortions should be able to happen, rape. 74 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 3: Incessant life of the mother. That's not true of both 75 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: your states. 76 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: Well, Listen, abortion is an issue that there are sharp disagreements. 77 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: People of good faith and good morals disagree, and it's 78 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: why the Supreme Court has said this is a question 79 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: for the states, and every state decides it differently. If 80 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: you look at our constitution, that's the way we decide 81 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: really difficult issues of public policies. We leave it to 82 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: the voters, and that reflects and respects democracy. IVF is 83 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: very different. Nearly ninety percent of Americans believe IVF should 84 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 1: be protected. So what we're trying to say is look, 85 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: let's find an area of common ground. We're not going 86 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: to find complete agreement among all one hundred senators on abortion, 87 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: We're just not. People have different views. That's the beauty 88 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: of a democracy that we can have different views. But 89 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: on IVF, we ought to be able to unify everybody. 90 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: We ought to be able to get Republicans and Democrats 91 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: together and say this technology enabling people to be parents 92 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: is wonderful technology and it is pro family. So there 93 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: are issues on which we disagree, but this is one 94 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: where we can find common ground. 95 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: I very much hope and I hope so too. 96 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 4: I mean, we actually wrote this in that way so 97 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 4: that it would be very measured and simple and to 98 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 4: the point, protecting IVF, protecting family's ability to bring life 99 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: into this world. And we both have talked to a 100 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: number of friends and family me and others constituents that 101 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: tell us their story about being able to bring a 102 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: child into this world through IVF and so making sure 103 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 4: that we protect that in a way that protects religious 104 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: freedom and liberty and families and others, I think is 105 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: critically important. And that's what we've done here, and we 106 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 4: hope to gain some momentum on it. 107 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: I guess some of the concerns from some hard right 108 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: members of your party would be is an IVF embryo 109 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: considered life at conception? 110 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: Well, look, I. 111 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: Can tell you that there is unanimity. I believe all 112 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: one hundred Senators support IVF. I don't know a single 113 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: Senator that does not. I don't know a single Republican 114 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: that does not. I don't know a single Democrat that 115 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: does not. We ought to be able to find real 116 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: agreement on a question like IVF, you know, you talk 117 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: about as Katie mentioned, she and I both have dear 118 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: friends who had their children through IVF and their wonderful parents. 119 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: They love their their daughters, their sons. That's an amazing thing, 120 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: you know. You look at since the development of IVF, 121 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: there have been over eight million babies born through IVF. 122 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: That is a fantastic thing, and so many families have 123 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: been brought joy. That we ought to be able to 124 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: find agreement, and I think we will. I hope we will. 125 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: But in the discussion of IVF, abortion comes up, and 126 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: majority of Americans are on the side of that least 127 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: abortion should be allowed, especially in certain cases of rape, incest, life. 128 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 3: Of the mother. 129 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: So with that in mind going into this election season, 130 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: how do you think about abortion, because that for Democrats 131 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 2: is going to be one of the main rallying cries 132 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: to get voters out as well as tapping funding. 133 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: I think it also should be for Republicans. 134 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 4: I mean, Henry, when you say that, I think the 135 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 4: majority of Americans also believe you should not be able 136 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 4: to take the life of a child the moment before 137 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 4: the child is born. Should there be a federal plan 138 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 4: that we saw We saw Democrats vote just the last Congress. 139 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: To be able to do that. 140 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 4: I mean, when you talk to people and you talk 141 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 4: about a child and a woman's womb at thirty nine 142 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 4: weeks and actually aborting that baby, the majority of Americans 143 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 4: to agree that shouldn't be able to happen on American soil. 144 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 4: So the problem is the Democrats are trying to deflect 145 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 4: by how extreme they are in this position, and I 146 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 4: think we're going to keep coming back to it, and 147 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 4: I think where Americans are. 148 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: But if you say the Democrats are extreme in that position, 149 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: and you want to have this IVF bill, and you 150 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 2: think Duckworth potentially was too far on the margins coming 151 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: into abortion, then would you be open to a bipartisanship 152 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: bill when it comes to things like rape incess life 153 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: of the mother. 154 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: So what I would say is today's Democrat position in 155 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: the Senate is incredibly extreme. What Katie just told you, 156 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: every single Democrat in the Senate supports unlimited abortion, partial 157 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: birth abortion literally. But it is so hennery. It actually 158 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: is true because they all voted for it. That we 159 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: had a bill lest Congress that would strike down every 160 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: limitation in the country and that would legalize abortion literally 161 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: until the moment of birth. That is such an extreme position. 162 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: Nine percent of American CDC. 163 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: Data though there are not abortions in America. 164 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: But every Democrat supports Actually, there are late term abortions, 165 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: and every single Democrat. 166 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: Voted extreme circumstances. 167 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: Every single Democrats supported it, and ninety one percent of 168 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: Americans disagree with that. The vast majority of people who 169 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: consider themselves pro choice, say, listen, late term abortion, abortion 170 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: in the thirty ninth or fortieth week. That that is barbaric. 171 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: And that's the position of every single Democrat, which is 172 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: why they don't want to talk about their position. What 173 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: they want to do instead is scaremonger and IVF. They 174 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: want to suggest those mean, Republicans want to take away IVF. Well, 175 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: let's let's have an area of complete agreement. Let's make 176 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: clear IVF is fully protected by federal law. 177 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: And I think Democrats agree with you on there, and I. 178 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: Will will back on this. 179 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: So all of them want we will abortion till. 180 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: But that is how they voted. I mean, at the 181 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: end of the day, what you vote for matters. 182 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: And they did vote that way. And that's the thing. 183 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 4: I just had the Secretary of HHS in front of 184 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 4: US at and Appropriations hearing and I ask him about 185 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 4: this administration not putting the heighth Amendment in their budget requests, 186 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 4: something that's been bipartisan for years, and moving that forward. 187 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 4: And then I had actually talked to a woman who 188 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 4: performed one of these aborde at thirty nine weeks right 189 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 4: before walking into there. 190 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 3: She told me. 191 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: About how barbaric that is about delivering the baby breach, 192 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 4: about putting a knife up that baby's spine, opening it up, 193 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 4: pulling out the brains, collapsing the skull, pushing that baby out. 194 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 4: So it actually does happen, and unfortunately every Democrat voted 195 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 4: to continue to allow that to happen. And the thing is, 196 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 4: we have a duty to continue. 197 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: To talk about that. 198 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 4: We're one of eight countries on the entire planet that 199 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 4: allows for that. 200 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 3: So are you both calling for national ban? 201 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: Well, there is an existing law that ban's federal partial 202 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: birth abortion. It's the Democrats that are calling for changing 203 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: the federal law to legalize partial birth abortion. They voted 204 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: for striking down every restriction. But understand here, listen, we're 205 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: not going to this morning resolve all the disagreements on abortion. 206 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: People have very strong, good faith views from places of 207 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: deep emotion and personal experience. That's part of the beauty 208 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: of democracy. That that's part of the genius of the framers, 209 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: as they recognize when there's the questions we have disagreements about, 210 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: let the voters decide. And you would expect the state 211 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: of New York to have a different resolution than the 212 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: state of Texas or the state of Alabama. And we've 213 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: got fifty states. But what we can do is say, 214 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: are there issues where we have agreement, and IVF is 215 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: one of them. This bill is designed to protect something 216 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: that is incredibly important, to give comfort to parents who 217 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: and to those who desperately want to be parents who 218 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: are scared and they're picking up the newspapers or watching 219 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: on TV politicians saying someone's going to take away IVF. Well, 220 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: this bill will make clear it will be enshrined in 221 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: federal law. You have a right to access to this technology. 222 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 2: It's also very political going to election, and actually one 223 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: of your staffers said that to the Washington Examiner. And 224 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: as we head into the election center, Bert, I have 225 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: to ask you. Since you're with us, your name continuously 226 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: be floated as this potential VP pick for former President 227 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. What is the current dialogue between you and 228 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: the Trump campaign. 229 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 4: Look, I am working diligently on behalf of the people 230 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 4: of Alabama in the United States Senate. We have a 231 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 4: lot of work to do there, and I'm eager to 232 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 4: continue that work and I'm proud to be a part 233 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 4: of it. 234 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 3: There's no doubt that. 235 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 4: The American people want Donald Trump back in the White House. 236 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: I mean we are seeing that at every single poll 237 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 4: because people want a secure border, they want safe streets, 238 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 4: they want stable prices, and then that's what he's going 239 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 4: to bring to the White House. So I'm going to 240 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 4: continue to work diligently alongside Ted to bring common sense 241 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 4: solutions to the problems facing our country. 242 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: And certainly honored to be able to do that. But 243 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: if he calls you accept listen. 244 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 4: I am sure he has a long list, many of 245 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: which are our colleagues, and we're rooting for them for sure. 246 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: Bottom line is, we're going to all do everything that 247 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 4: we can to get Donald Trump back in the White 248 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 4: House and also take back the Senate because the fate 249 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 4: of our nation is at stake and we believe that 250 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 4: that's worth fighting for. 251 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: Republican Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Katie Britt of Alabama, thank 252 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 2: you so much for both of you for joining us.
