Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the midst of a brutal winter storm, podcast host Joe Rogan asked what the senator could actually have done if he were to stay in Texas, seemingly offering at least a partial defense of Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut here\u2019s the thing,\u201d Rogan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z8WAMGe8x3M\">said<\/a>, speaking to his guest, comedian Tim Dillon. \u201cWhat can he do? What is the reason for him staying?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pair agreed that the issue was \u201coptics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s just the optics of how it looked,\u201d Dillon said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan he make it warm out?\u201d Rogan mocking asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I don\u2019t think he has any power to do anything good,\u201d Dillon added.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Cruz last week took a family trip to\u00a0Cancun, Mexico, as his home state was\u00a0suffering from the storm and subsequent widespread power blackouts.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz was photographed Wednesday on a plane heading from Houston to Cancun; he made a return trip back to Texas on Thursday following backlash.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/obviously-a-mistake-sen-ted-cruz-admits-second-thoughts-about-cancun-flight-after-backlash\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported on Cruz\u2019s response to the controversy:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWe left yesterday, the plan had been to stay through the weekend with the family,\u201d he said, referencing how the last week \u201chas been tough on a lot of folks\u201d and recounting how his family had been reduced to clustering around the fireplace after they lost power.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When his daughters found out that school had been canceled for the week, Cruz explained, they suggested taking a vacation. \u201cThey said, \u2018Look, why don\u2019t we take a trip? Let\u2019s go somewhere where it\u2019s not so cold.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cruz admitted, however, that his doubts about taking a vacation began immediately. \u201cI have to admit, I started having second thoughts almost the moment I sat down on the plane,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause, on the one hand, all of us who are parents have a responsibility to take care of our kids, take care of our family. That\u2019s something Texans have been doing across the state.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Following the \u201cfirestorm\u201d that erupted after the story emerged, Cruz said his initial doubts worsened. \u201cWhen I arrived and I saw the initial firestorm, what had started with second thoughts that I had as soon as we left grew even greater,\u201d he said, adding that he regrets that his trip has become \u201csuch a distraction when so many Texans are hurting and angry and mad.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With protesters in the background chanting \u201cresign,\u201d Cruz addressed whether his trip was \u201ctone-deaf.\u201d\u00a0\u201cLook, it was obviously a mistake, and in hindsight I wouldn\u2019t have done it,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cI was trying to be a dad.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In July,\u00a0Rogan announced that he was finished with Los Angeles and moving to Texas, looking for \u201ca little bit more freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/im-outta-here-joe-rogan-says-hes-leaving-la-for-texas?%3Futm_source=twitter&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_campaign=dwtwitter\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m outta here,\u201d Rogan said during a Friday interview with CEO of Spartan and Death Race Joe De Sena.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rogan told De Sena he is leaving L.A. for Texas \u201csoon\u201d because he wants to live somewhere that is \u201cin the center of the country, somewhere it\u2019s easier to travel to both places, and somewhere where you have a little bit more freedom.\u201d Rogan also cited L.A.\u2019s overcrowding, which he says proves problematic in the age of COVID-19.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen you look at the traffic, when you look at the economic despair, when you look at the homelessness problem that\u2019s accelerated radically over the last six, seven, ten years, I think there\u2019s too many people here,\u201d said Rogan. \u201cI think it\u2019s not tenable. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s manageable. I think every mayor does a sh*t job of doing it, because I don\u2019t think anybody could do a great job of it. I think there\u2019s certain things you\u2019re gonna have to deal with when you have a population of whatever the f**k L.A. is, it\u2019s like 20 million plus people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
