Chapter 2: How did the Texas crisis affect residents?

56.87 - 69.374 Trevor Noah

I mean, you know that the infrastructure is screwed when your best option for water is to mug a snowman. But the saddest part is that these people are the lucky ones because it turns out one poor Texan had to travel 800 miles just to get heat

72.535 - 97.283 Ted Cruz

Your people are literally eating snow right now, and you're jetting off to Cancun? I'm not even mad that you were selfish. I'm mad that you were so stupid. How can you be in politics for 10 years and still have no idea how bad this would make you look? What were you thinking? I know my people are freezing and hungry right now.

So what they need is a photo of my beach bod, because if they see me in a Speedo, their eyes will burst into flames and the whole family can warm their hands over those flames. I mean, look, I get that Ted Cruz is tired. You know, the man deserves a break after trying so hard to overthrow the government, but this is not the time, Ted!

When your constituents said they need clean water, they didn't mean go find a wet T-shirt contest in Cancun. I mean, seeing Ted Cruz skip town for the beach has been very frustrating for the people in Texas. But on the other hand, it has been really exciting for all the people in Cancun who got to meet him on the street. Wow, bro, I didn't know that Senor Frog was a real guy. That is awesome.

162.78 - 170.326 Trevor Noah

And what's even worse is that when he got caught, instead of owning up to it and apologizing, he acted like a total Ted Cruz.

170.666 - 187.725 Trevor Noah

Breaking right now, an update on the reports that Texas Senator Ted Cruz took a trip to Cancun as the state was dealing with massive power outages, something that had many of you upset online. The statement from Cruz saying in part, with school canceled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends wanting to be a good dad.

187.865 - 191.569 Trevor Noah

I flew down with them last night and I'm flying back this afternoon.

192.291 - 215.791 Trevor Noah

Oh, I see. We all got this thing wrong. Ted Cruz wasn't going on vacation, people. He was just chaperoning his girls on the flight to Cancun. So in some way, this was like a reverse taken. I want you to know that I'm a man with absolutely no skills whatsoever, and I'm gonna safely accompany my daughters on this trip. Seriously, Ted Cruz blaming his daughters for this is just gross.
