though they entered illegally? i m asking you are you telling me with a straight face that that s what you are willing to do? if you are then grow a titanium spine and tell us the truth. you want open borders awbsd want people who enter the country illegally to never ever be subjected to the laws, ainsley, you, i, steve, brian and every other listener has to abide by. brian: we will have to see if the vote comes up in 20206789 the difference between the parties could not be more stark. even though joe biden was confronted by protesters in dover, people saying how could you detain how could you have deported all those tens of thousands of people during your administration? he had no explanation. he was trying to defend his what many people say is extreme action over the last 8 years. try to wrap your head around that meanwhile the media is having a meltdown over the conditions at the border. conditions that have been overwhelmed because of asylum rules that allow this
our next guest says senator ted cruz has a, quote, titanium spine and he showed it last night showing he was more than ready to trade punches with senator marco rubio. while cruz held ramrod firm whenever pitted against rubio, it has to be said he was a little more pliable when matched up against the front-runner donald trump. i want to talk about senator cruz s performance last night with bob vanderplatts, endorsement hotly pursued and ultimately went to cruz for whom he fund raises. live from urbandale, iowa. thanks for joining us. good to be with you, jake. i know you thought senator cruz won the debate. who else on stage impressed you though? well, you know, i was in the environment i was front row sitting with heidi cruz and the girls, and first of all it was a great environment. and i thought it showcased republicans very well. however, i do believe that cruz was firm and people can see him as a commander in chief.
away. what made you choose cruz, not trump? well, first of all, ted cruz is a comprehensive conservative, a principled leader. i think everybody would say he has a titanium spine, delivers a very clear message and the more people listen to him, the more people are drawn to him. that s why you re seeing conservatives unite around ted cruz and you ll continue to see that in iowa and i believe across the country. so we look forward to this race and this is not against trump this is for ted cruz. but there has to be something about donald trump you didn t like, bob. what was it? donald trump is a great friend of mine but it s what i really like about ted cruz. i believe ted cruz is the leader that we need at this these uncertain times, especially with paris, san bernardino and others. national security, border security, they want somebody to deliver a clear message and when they know what is going on.
