Texas remains red despite the Democrats’ push to flip the state blue; reaction and analysis from Rep. Dan Crenshaw on ‘Fox & Friends.’
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Held firm, including
congressional houses,
one of those congressional House
Winners is Dan Crenshaw, with the
Texas GOP, of course, so Dan,
the blue wave at the very least,
has been stopped in its tracks.
Does it surprise you? Does it
surprise you that everybody else
was not predicting this?
It doesnt surprise me that
the infamous blue waves never
seems to materialize because
Texans like their state and we
like being the number one business
climate and we like low taxes
and less regulations, and we like
good governance, secure borders,
funding our police, all of the
things, are complete opposite of
what the left wants. The left
wants to destroy our energy
sector, raise our taxes and make
our business climate like
California.
I dont see why this would be a
compelling message to win
and they spent hundreds of
millions to try to flip it.
Almost single candidate, every
Republican was outspent by
Democrats, and that was stopped
in its tracks.
Steve at the very last
presidential debate. In the last
three minutes, Joe Biden revealed, he was interested in transitioning
was interested in transitioning
from fossil fuels and ten million
Americans making a living,
particularly in Texas
right now, the president and his
team filing suit in a number of
states, because they say that the
voting, and rather the voting was
okay, but the vote tabulation
theyre a little worried about
whether or not its accurate.
This is why the integrity of
our elections and the system
that we use is so important
right. You h have to trust the
rules of the game.
I was outspoken on this on the
months leading up to this and
everybody changing voting laws,
and this is dangerous. As Bill
Barr said this is playing with
fire.
It cannot rely on the opinions
of election officials or
politicians. Saying no dont
worry its fine.
You dont have to have a
conspiracy theory. You dont
have to worry about this.
Dont worry about the
discrepancies and
irregularities.
The system needs to be
self evident that it is secure
right, which means the process
has to be simple, and the rules
have to be strict and strict
deadlines, and they have to be
transparent.
These. These should not be
controversial topics right
to experiment with this low
integrity, voting process that
many states have in one of the
most divided times in the
countrys history is playing
with fire.
It was the worst thing that they
could have done to our country,
and now we are paying the price,
and we all saw this coming
Ainsley. What does the future of
the House look like centrists,
that are Democrats that are
saying Nancy Pelosi needs to
step down or she doesnt need to
be the leader anymore.
This is what they told the hill
its time for Democrats to
elevate a new generation of
leadership in both House and
Senate.
Americans are clearly afraid of
socialism, want safe streets and
neighborhoods and devote for
people who they believe will
help put more money in their
pockets.
What do you think will happen in
the house?
Yeah? The irony of the
statement is that the new
generation of Democrats are
socialists,
im, not so sure what they mean
by that
look: im not a fly in the wall
inside the caucus meetings, but
it will be entertain to go, see
them fight this one out.
What is very clear is that Nancy
Pelosi lost and she lost big
shes, a very good fundraiser
again they outspent us in every
single possible way, and yet they
lost in every possible way.
It looks like we will keep the
Senate and gained quite a few
house seats as well
confirmed at least seven flips im
hopeful that we see more than
that.
You know who would take her
place, though thats a
fascinating question and hard
for me to answer.
I will say that Nancy Pelosi
makes a great opponent for
Republicans, though, so we we
enjoy that a little bit
but curious to see what happens.
Ainsley. What happens in this
race does trump. He obviously
has a path. Anything can happen
its not over yet, but do you
think he will win?
You know lets just be
hopeful that he does
theres clearly a path.
You know we are counting the
ballots in Arizona right now.
Its it seems like
Pennsylvania is on a good track
as well and Georgia.
So I you know im glued to
my screen, just like you guys,
Brian Southwest Texas, where he
benefited.
You know what ive been
heartened by the persona of
Nancy Pelosi. Tearing up the
state of the union address the
way she just dismisses the
president acts like he doesnt
exist. I think they much like
the idea of the statesmen like
Paul Ryan in that slot and no
matter what party is shes
like a professional wrestler
right I mean, and you see
this across many states.
You see you know congressional
candidates, perhaps outperforming
the president. You know
Americans do tend towards split
government.
You know you see the stock
market start to rise when it
believes it has a split
government, because it means
government will do less.
This tells you something about
the disposition of where
Americans are at and where they
are in political beliefs, and we
dont need the federal
government telling us what to do
and total control of our lives.
Let us thrive and do your
purpose of government to pursue
our happiness, thats the whole
point- and I think Americans
understand that
Brian you have to get big
things done, and immigration
reform done and its going to
take compromise and im just
wondering when thats going to
happen at some point.
Well, yeah
you wander when immigration
reform is going happen. Me too,
I think if we will go down the
immigration reform path.
The first thing that has to
happen is border security, and I
will say, under this
administration, we have made a
lot huge strides along that
along those lines.
They are a little bit
underreported, but illegal
immigration coming across our
border has massively massively
dropped because of the steps
this administration has taken,
but in terms of just enforcing
the law, building
infrastructure working with
Mxico working with Guatemala
and Honduras- El Salvador, you
know huge strides, so you
know one of the worst case
scenarios. A Biden presidency
takes over and reverse all of
these great policies, and then we
are right back where we start.
Where had no compromise can ever
happen.
Steve! Exactly congratulations!
On your win! A couple of nights
ago,
thank you very much,
so it was exciting. It was a lot
of fun.
I think we won by more than we
expected.
My margin of victory was seven
points last time and fourteen points
this time
so again, I think Americans
rejected this notion of
socialism, rejected the notion
that we should destroy energy
sector and raise taxes
Steve. We will get one of the.
