“What is it with liberals that want to control every damn aspect of your life?”

The party of Don’t Say Gay and Abortion Is Murder expect me to think that it’s the liberals who want to exert control over my life?

one of the first things they wanted to do was ban gas stoves

Not true. Cruz is (probably intentionally) conflating two different Republican talking points here. The New York State issue mentioned here involves preventing the use of gas stoves with inadequate exhaust that leak illness-inducing gasses into upstairs living spaces, and even then people can get exemptions for this. The changes at the federal level are for making stoves more energy efficient. This can only help consumers.

They’re trying to go after and regulate ceiling fans.

They’ve proposed more energy efficient ceiling fan criteria for manufacturers. This can only help consumers.

now these idiots have come out and said drink two beers a week, that’s their guideline.

These “idiots” are an organization built around reducing alcoholism. I don’t think they’re idiots for suggesting that drinking more alcohol leads to more alcohol dependence. I also think it’s probably not fair to categorize this org as liberal. It was created by Richard Nixon in 1970. It also has no executive or legislative capabilities as far as I can tell. It only reports information to the government and citizens. A “guideline” from the NIAAA is not a law and does not represent any amount of control over people’s lives.

Ted Cruz is a liar of the highest order. Newsmax is raw, uncut fascist propaganda. The only way to believe this shit is to be completely braindead, unwilling to do the 15 minutes of basic googling that I just did to form this comment, and unable to accept that the world they believe they live in doesn’t align with reality.
