The Republican Party is hosting its first-ever midterm convention on September 9 at the American Airlines Center. However, the conversation started awkwardly as Jones, 33, flubbed Cruz's latest book live on the air. Instead of saying Going Further, the Fox & Friends host fumbled the title and said, "Going for Further." This came after Jones also turned on President Donald Trump, 80, over his proposal to pay stay-at-home parents. Article continues below Jones said, "Let's bring in Senator Ted Cruz! He's also the author of Going for Further!" In an awkward moment caught on camera, Cruz smiled and nodded after Jones flubbed the title. A viewer took to social media, shared the flub online, and asked, "Ted Cruz is the author of what?" ‌ Cruz called out the person and retweeted his post. View 4 Images Lawrence B. Jones mispronounced Ted Cruz's book title The senator from Texas hit back, "Order it HERE!" and shared the link to the book's website. ‌ A day before, Jones mocked that a new Trump administration proposal for pay stay-at-home parents was a "terrible idea." The New York Times reported first, citing people familiar with the discussions, that the Trump Administration is moving forward on a proposal to offer childcare subsidies to married couples with a stay-at-home spouse. The money for the proposed childcare subsidies would come from a federal program that is intended to help low-income and working-class parents pay for their childcare so they can work or go to school, according to the outlet. ‌ On September 7, Rachel Campos-Duffy touted that the Trump administration's new proposal was her 'favorite policy like ever that President Trump has brought.'

I see what the president is doing, but I think it's a terrible idea. It's socialism,' he argued. 'Just give me the money. Just give me more of my money,' Jones added.

Again, I understand that this is a political winner in this new age of populism,' he continued with his rant. 'But the government consistently chooses who they are going to give these tax benefits to instead of just giving us the money. "And if you want that money to pay for lower child care, then you can use that money for that," he went on. 'But for example, I would not fall in this category. "I'm definitely going to pay for it, but I wouldn't fall in this category at this point in my life," he closed.
