3-Year-Old Asks Sen. Ted Cruz if 'World is on Fire'

During a recent speech in New Hampshire, Texas Senator Ted Cruz received feedback from an unlikely listener: a three-year-old girl sitting on her mother's lap in the audience.

Cruz was delivering a speech to Republican voters in the city of Barrington, New Hampshire when he began to discuss President Barack Obama's foreign policy, suggesting that the president's foreign policy is ineffective and has caused a loss of control in the world.

"The Obama economy is a disaster, Obamacare is a train wreck and the Obama-Clinton foreign policy of leading from behind — the whole world is on fire," Cruz told the crowd.

Video from the speaking event then shows a three-year-old girl questioning Cruz's statement. "The world is on fire?" the girl, named Julia, asked Sen. Cruz.

"The world is on fire, yes," Cruz said, turning to the girl. "Your world is on fire."

"But you know what?" Cruz continued. "Your mommy's here and everyone's here to make sure that the world you grow up in is even better."

The three-year-old's mother, Michelle Trant, then told the local WRKO radio station that Cruz's fiery rhetoric did not scare her daughter.

"She looked out from my phone that she was playing with and she goes 'the world's on fire' in a really high question kind of voice," Michelle said. "A huge Cruz supporter both my husband and myself, I said to her, 'He will be the one that will put that fire out,' so she looked at him and he was a hero."

"She really basically was like, 'Oh oh, this is a great man,'" Michelle said. "He's a firefighter in her mind as a three year old and was quite happy and then she wanted a cookie."
