Ted Cruz takes lead in a National Poll - Interview by Mike Gallagher

0:00
presidential candidate USC senator Ted Cruz senator crews do you notice that
0:05
every time you're on my show it's right after you've received some good news I
0:09
don't know this is an omen or not but this new brand new NBC News-Wall Street
0:14
Journal poll for the first time here up 28 to 26 percentage points
0:20
over Mr. Trump I i don't know this is becoming a pattern here you got good
0:24
news
0:24
Gallagher shows Mike I think that's right maybe it's the biggest cause and effect
0:29
with higher the more I think well congratulations you know of course it's
0:35
frustrating to me to hear people say well is the stolen outlier I love people
0:40
people go to that
0:41
outlier they don't say that got any other pulled it comes out you know
0:45
showing different numbers this has got to be a a real momentum builder for a
0:51
can't attend crews campaign that already has a great deal of momentum well as the
0:55
first national poll in many many months is shown anyone other than Donald Trump
1:00
at first light and I think this is the continuation of what has been building
1:05
for a long long time
1:07
you know you remember before I would be weeks ago all the pundits all pollster
1:13
said we could not win we didn't have a chance to get a min and then election
1:18
night we saw record-shattering historic turn not only did we win but we also won
1:25
with a broad coalition the old Reagan coalition so we want conservatives we
1:31
want evangelicals but we also won Reagan democrats and we won young people ended
1:37
up earning more votes than any republican candidate just really I will
1:41
call and and that's really that's very much the same trajectory that is
1:47
continuing in this poll that we're seeing here on the ground in South
1:50
Carolina the cross country and I think the reason is people understand the
1:54
stakes of this election could not be higher and they don't want to gamble in
1:58
a little roll the dice and then nominate someone you don't know what he's done it
2:02
did you don't know where to stand you know who will listen to I think the
2:06
voters launched a consistent conservative someone has been the same
2:09
yesterday today and tomorrow with me you know what you're gonna get
2:13
spent my entire life as the conservative a social conservative fiscal
2:17
conservative a national security concern that most spent my whole life-fighting
2:22
to defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights and I think that's why we're see
2:25
the old Reagan coalition forming and uniting around our campaign
2:30
you mentioned evangelical Christians of course very important vote in South
2:35
Carolina and around the country in past elections many evangelicals stayed home
2:41
I heard a lot of reporters asked me and I did an interview this morning with the
2:45
BBC and with NPR and people are saying it as because they they know I know
2:50
South Carolina well and there are there's a huge faith-based component to
2:56
the voters of South Carolina and the reporters Shane how is a guy like Trump
3:01
enjoy the kind of support he seems to be getting from evangelical Christians
3:05
isn't a Ted Cruz or even a Marco Rubio a better fit for evangelical Christians
3:11
and frankly, senator your faith is an important part of your campaign you
3:16
shared it with me personally and and and on the air with everybody who knows you
3:20
notice your spiritual path why help understands the evangelical vote and as
3:27
it applies not only to Ted Cruz but perhaps to donald Trump as well well
3:33
look not sure having you know as you noted I I'ma Christian faith is an
3:37
an integral part of who I am but and and we are working hard to campaign and early
3:44
votes from everybody we've had tremendous support that we've got over
3:48
350 pastors across that state of South Carolina that have signed up to support
3:53
our campaign to encourage the congregation to go out the post turn
3:57
around the pattern you observe of so many questions not not showing up in
4:04
voting in 2012 5454 million evangelical Christians did not vote more than half
4:10
of us didn't vote in the 2012 election and if we do that again will lose this
4:15
country and said a lot of an interview that focused on energized in mobilizing
4:20
inspiring people of faith and Donald Trump it is supported my hard thick
4:26
people checked off at Washington they're furious I and i understand exactly why
4:31
Washington has betrayed us both democrats and career politicians on the
4:35
republican side of betrayed us and and Trump has a lot of noise a lot of ball
4:40
you a lot of hot rhetoric and I understand that people are mad at
4:44
Washington naturally attract but I think what we're seeing like is that his
4:49
voters get closer to election they start studying the candidates more closely
4:53
they start looking at their records because if you want someone who says
4:57
they will stand up to Washington the natural question is when did you ever
5:01
stood up to Washington and you know that that is you know if you listen to what
5:07
Donald actually sing Donald saying he'll go to Washington be deal-maker help cut
5:11
deals with with with democrats and he will compromise and and and it's what's
5:16
the reason jimmy carter recently endorsed Arnold formal he was really a
5:22
striking moment by Jimmy Carter was over in England at the house alone and they
5:26
asked about the election, he said you know between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz I
5:31
would pick up truck shop assistant US Attorney carter speaking he said the
5:35
reason is both is malleable he has no fixed set of beliefs we can work with
5:41
him we can get in to do what we want he said Krugman's is not Malley he knows
5:46
what he believed that he will fight for you know what I'll say something that
5:50
I've never said any other context I agree with jimmy carter the end but
5:57
that's why we're saying conservatives they studied together behind us because
6:03
I don't think the voters want someone to cut more deals with Barack Obama and
6:08
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to grow the death take away our liberties to weaken
6:12
America I think they wanted strong principled consistent concert
6:17
this campaign to take on the the rhetorical level it's taken you know you
6:23
ran a campaign at I believe that showed a video of of mr. Trump in his own words
6:28
and then he's apparently threatening to sue you over that and some of the
6:32
scratch our heads and how do you how do you sue over something that is a public
6:36
record of somewhat somebody said there's the accusation your lying and and and
6:42
even Marco Rubio has gotten involved in their sort of has that surprised you
6:46
shouted across a lot I always think it's unfortunate when candidates make the
6:52
decision to go into the gun and engage in personal attacks as you know my
6:56
opinion and I have been talking a long long time on my approach from day one in
7:02
this campaign has been that if others engage in personal attacks brothers
7:06
engagement insults I'm not gonna respond in town I haven't you ever heard may go
7:11
on air and start launching personal attack the dulcimer Marco Rubio anybody
7:15
else right now I do think policy is fair game focusing on differences among
7:21
record focusing on differences about vision and experience that that's what
7:25
the voters South Carolina initially deserve and expect and the Washington
7:31
post senator rights today that you've got you cannot afford a third-place
7:36
finish in South Carolina your short a neck-and-neck in the polls
7:39
Marco Rubio I always loved these pronouncements from the media about what
7:43
you doin candidates can or can't afford but but can you talk about how important
7:47
it is to do well here in South Carolina and do you expected it would you expect
7:51
to finish in the Washington post has been writing stories in the New York
7:55
Times in the mainstream media for every election that you know it doesn't do act
8:02
his campaign is over they make writing obituaries on this damn paper but David
8:06
launched the day we launched the New York Times said Ted cannot win because
8:11
the Washington elites to spice it up at the post edit nonsense I hope and
8:16
believe will do well here regardless we have a national campaigning deep base of
8:22
support and you want to see the breadth of the support not only did we win Iowa
8:28
with the largest
8:30
vote total anti-republican ever in the history of the aisle but there's just a
8:35
week later we finished a strong third place in New Hampshire a much more
8:40
moderate New England state that everyone said a conservative could not compete to
8:44
be competitive that breadth of support I hope and believe will do well in South
8:49
Carolina but we have a national campaign and I will play it like the reason why I
8:54
think our campaign is surging want conservatives are uniting behind us you
9:00
know you look at the Saturday today I think there really two issues that are
9:03
front and center on the voters' minds one with the passing of Justice Scalia
9:07
Justice Scalia was a lion of the law he was someone I knew personally for twenty
9:12
years an extraordinary conservative and the court now hangs in the balance this
9:19
is not one branch of government is to that are at stake are basic
9:23
constitutional rights we are one justice away from losing the second amendment
9:27
like to keep and bear arms where one justice away from losing on religious
9:31
liberty and I think the voters are looking at the individuals on that stage
9:35
and asking who I know beyond a shadow of a doubt will nominate flight confirmed
9:42
principled conservative jurists it we've been burned too many times with that too
9:47
many republicans who don't care about the court don't fight about the court
9:51
and put liberals on the court agreed and you've done a really done a magnificent
9:55
job in conveying the needy the urgency of the of this of the Supreme Court and
10:00
you know and yet I pick up the papers in rio online today here's a president a
10:06
commander-in-chief who plans to go to Cuba but he wanted he doesn't plan to
10:11
attend justice Antonin Scalia's funeral Saturday which is is just stunning to me you know
10:19
sadly it is par for the course it is I don't know that there's anything
10:22
President Obama can do at this point that surprises going to Cuba I think was
10:27
always in its plan if you look at its foreign policy nationally
10:32
daily indicated in the band and our friends and allies you know one of the
10:36
first things he did when he became president with send the bust of Winston
10:39
Churchill back the United States
10:42
Brian president Winston Churchill and come back to the overall good but but
10:48
but if you look at charles lives in Rhode over Real Clear Politics
10:52
his his decision his refusal to attend justice Scalia funeral does more than
10:57
just insult the memory of Scalia to failure to perform a basic presidential
11:01
duties of course is that Justice Scalia three decades on the court grants or
11:08
visit the direction of American law at the Ronald Reagan was to the presidency
11:14
so Justice Scalia was to the supreme court but you know what we saw something
11:19
like this a couple of years ago what President Obama refused to attend market
11:24
factors for you right now Margaret Thatcher you want to talk about
11:27
historical figure that stood with America that along with Ronald Reagan
11:31
and Pope John Paul with his little in winning the cold war to the Soviet Union
11:37
the American president not to bother to a pair was justice crates and hence 07
11:44
I'm not surprising that the Justice Scalia 0 because he President Obama and
11:49
for that matter Hillary Clinton in in Bernie Sanders they've looked down on
11:53
you and me and just a silly and conserve
11:56
essentially the ignorant map or in flyover country right now Obama summed
12:03
it up in his unguarded moment back in the 2008 election where he described all
12:08
about us as bitter and angry and clinging to our God and are done and you
12:14
know what I'm not bitter but we are angry and he can't have either hard or
12:21
go senator Ted Cruz got a big tonight I know in Greenville through I'm sure
