Ted Cruz's departure from Texas for Cancun during the state's natural disaster sparks debate on political optics versus individual responsibility. While the host critiques the imagery of wearing a Texas flag mask abroad, he defends Cruz by comparing him to Barack Obama and citing the movie 2012, arguing leaders shouldn't stay during crises. The discussion highlights how politicians like Beto O'Rourke travel while advising citizens to remain, ultimately asserting that personal resilience matters more than government reliance amidst power grid failures and freezing temperatures.

You know the lefties they're gonna say y'all got all them cows down there busting all that ass.
That's why y'all's weather screwed up.
That's why y'all shit didn't froze.
I think I think climate change is well.
It's always been real.
I mean my proof is this.
Y'all remember the ice age?
Y'all know all that ice melted?
Them damn cavemen started burning them damn files.
All that smoke and CO2 went up in the atmosphere.
They was eating too many hamburgers.
They was killing too many damn mammoths, cooking them up, frying them, sending all them damn carbon emissions up in there.
That's what happened to the ice age.
The caveman responsible for that.
We haven't learned our lesson.
We still eating all these damn burgers.
All right, let's get serious on this.
Yeah, let's get serious on this.
I mean, there's a lot of people going through some things there in Texas.
Yeah.
And Ted Cruz.
Ted, why didn't you just go to Arkansas, man?
Mississippi?
I mean, just, okay.
I mean, Ted, obviously, Ted's got it like that.
Hey, Daddy, let's go to Cancun.
It's cold as hell out here.
Let's go to Cancun, Mexico, Daddy.
He's like, yep, let's do it.
Sounds good to me.
Gets on the how expensive was them damn tickets on the last minute.
They go to Cancun, but I mean, Ted, I like you, Ted.
We still like you, Ted.
Ted, let me ask you a question.
What the hell were you thinking?
You know what these liberals are going to do.
I mean, I know if we're at the airport and we're getting recognized by hundreds of people.
I know they recognize your ass.
Yeah, you should have put on an afro or something, some shades.
Yeah, you got to come up with a disguise.
Yeah, you should have put on a 70s outfit, put on an afro and some shades.
Y'all could have put on some Halloween costumes, something.
I mean, you stuck out like a sore thumb.
I mean, you got that damn mask on with the Texas flag on.
Hey, look at me.
I'm going to Cancun.
I mean, just the optics of that.
I mean, I don't blame you for leaving.
Yeah, you just taking care of your family.
You just taking care of your camp.
I mean, how many other Texans got up and left?
Yeah.
When they see us coming.
Yeah.
I'm sure thousands of Texans left.
But they're going to hold Ted Cruz to a high standard.
These families that left prior to this storm because they knew it was going to be bad.
They're just looking out for their families, right?
Ted Cruz is doing the same thing.
We ain't got no power.
We ain't got no heat on.
Hell, let's go to Cancun.
Yeah.
I mean, okay, I understand why people's giving him crap.
I mean, he's supposed to be, what's that metaphor?
The captain goes down with the ship.
That's BS.
The captain never goes down with the ship.
That's just in the movies.
This real life we talking about here.
Yeah.
Oh, what about that movie?
It was called 2012.
Y'all remember the black president?
2012, man.
Yeah, 2012.
Remember Black Dad, a black president.
He had Danny Glover and he's supposed to be the president.
Progressive, yeah.
He was progressive, I'm sure.
And you know how the world was in.
He stayed and stuck around with the White House, yeah.
No, that only happens in the movie.
If there's a nuclear war or something and there's bombs coming down, you think Joe Biden is gonna be out there giving people band-aids and bottles of water?
No, he's gonna be in a bucket.
You think Ted Cruz is gonna be out there going down with the ship?
No, no, they're what did George Cole said they're in the club and we ain't in it.
Yeah, I don't understand.
Look at it like this, everybody.
On the left or the right.
He's taking care of his family.
Yeah, everybody should take care of that family.
You don't rely on your government for anything.
Yeah, hey, well, you just don't.
I mean, you save money.
Yeah, when there's a natural disaster, be prepared for it.
Ted Cruz was prepared for it.
A lot of citizens of Texas was prepared for it.
Like if a hurricane's coming to Puerto Rico, are you going to stick around for that shit?
No, you're going to get on a plane and get that out of here.
Well, some people can't, man.
Well, some people can't.
If I'm there and I got a house in Puerto Rico and they say a hurricane comes, how long we got?
Three days?
Well, we leaving two nights.
I'm not going to stick around for that.
Let me say this.
Now, they have an infrastructure down in Texas.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Y'all got systems already in place for when natural disasters happen, like the power company.
I mean, y'all, do y'all actually need Ted Cruz to be there every minute of the day?
I mean, I could see if he was a member of the power company, he was leaving and all the power company employees, man.
It's cold as hell out here.
Let's come back when it's warmer.
No, y'all have an infrastructure in place, infrastructure in place to handle this.
Yeah.
Ted Cruz, I'm sure the government, the local government, they've made all the decisions and calls that need to be made right now.
Yeah.
He didn't actually have to be there.
I mean, it would have been nice if he was there, though.
I mean, makes you look like a real leader.
Oh, man.
I mean, I'm going to tell you like this, Ted.
I don't blame you for leaving.
I've been in, when I was living in Virginia in California, they would have like, like, especially California, they would have rolling blackouts.
You didn't have no power.
Same thing was going on in Virginia.
You have no power.
I would get the kids and the wife because I saved money.
We would go stay at a hotel.
Yeah.
I mean, but it's so bad.
Many families do that.
Yeah, but there's so many people.
You got to actually leave Texas.
It's that bad.
Yeah, it's horrible.
You can't drive like that.
They got cows out there like this, man.
What?
They find cows froze to death, man.
Up on their back with their legs up in there like that, man.
That's crazy, man.
It's so cold out there, man.
They're turning cows into popsicles.
Man, what the hell's wrong with you?
I'm just saying, man.
Texas has never, like, it's snowing in Houston.
Yeah.
It never snows in Houston.
Yeah.
It's just horrible, man.
I mean, I know there was a severe weather warnings when this was coming.
Yeah.
Coming.
Yeah.
But nobody knew the power grid was going to go out.
Nobody knew it's going to be this.
It kind of goes hand in hand.
Whenever a severe snowstorm hits Virginia, your power is going out.
I'm sure they've seen this coming.
Yeah, a lot of times the power goes out.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm sure they've seen it.
Well, you remember that time we were in California doing our very first comedy show and that snowstorm hit?
We got like three feet of snow and the power and everything go out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's not always the case when it gets cold.
Yeah.
It just, a lot of things, a lot of bad things had to happen before it got this bad in Texas.
Especially that power grid.
Let me talk to Ted.
Man, you could have waited to go to Cancun, man.
Y'all could have just said, man, when everything gets better, Paula comes on, let's go ahead and go to Cancun.
I can't go.
Y'all went right in the middle of the damn hour on Texas.
What's that?
Day after tomorrow, damn them big ass storms.
The I was on Texas and y'all left.
Yeah.
I mean, it was just, but I, I mean, to his defense, though, Keith, he never told Texans to stick around.
I know that.
I mean, like, you look at these liberal politicians.
Yeah, yeah.
Liberals, they're going to spend things.
Like, these liberal politicians, they're saying, stay home, don't travel.
Then you find them in these countries traveling with their families, doing all these things.
During COVID?
Yeah.
Yeah, that looks really bad, right?
Ted Cruz never said stick around.
I mean, anybody in the financial position, if he was able to get out, get out.
Ted was one of those people.
A lot of Texans left.
You know what?
And now I know people's going to use this like when he runs for president or for senate again.
I mean, you barely beat Beto's dumbass last time.
And he is a total moron.
Well, it's nothing against Ted Cruz.
There's a bunch of idiots moving to Texas.
Yeah.
And y'all already just got a bunch of dumbasses down there to begin with from California.
Who the hell votes for Beto?
Dude out there come out on a skateboard ass rats like, I'm going to come out there.
I got an idea.
During the rally, I'm going to jump on a skateboard.
I'm going to spit across the stage.
Did you see when he went and ran to the border?
Started shaking people's hands.
Dude, started talking.
He didn't actually cross the border.
He just act like he was friendly with him.
Yeah, then the dude on stage talking Spanish.
Don't even know how to speak proper.
I mean, you running in, I mean, I understand there's a couple of languages in America, but you, I mean, it's just so much virtue singling and just too much progressivism.
It becomes like a damn.
Yeah.
You know he going to use him damn ads on you.
They're going to show you run for president.
Yeah, it was nice and cold and it was snowing.
It was horrible.
And here's Ted Cruz leaving, going to Cancun, Mexico.
Yeah, just be prepared for that.
I mean, you got a good excuse.
I mean, your kids told you to go.
Can't say no to your kids, right?
But you know what, Ted?
I still like you.
I like you way better than Beto.
And if you ever, ever become the Republican nominee run this country for president, still gonna vote for you.
Because you're just a man trying to protect his family and do what's best for your family.
If everybody did that on the left or right, stop relying on the government.
If everybody had more of Ted Cruz and more of like the citizens that actually fled Texas was able to do it, if you just prepare, save your money, don't rely on anybody.
I don't care how much you like Ted Cruz.
I don't care how much you like Beto.
You supposed to take care of your family.
Yeah.
If you governor, no government official is there to take care of you.
You're the man of your home.
You're the woman of your home.
You take care of your family.
If no politicians are there to take care of you.
Yeah.
If you're waiting for the government to take care of you, you are because they're going to take care of that family.
They're in the bunker.
When the bomb's coming, they're in the bunker.
Yeah, y'all going to be on Twitter.
Where's the politicians?
Oh, my God.
They're not here.
Yeah, they in the bunker.
We're going to get blown up.
