Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you. Nice to have you with us today. And, Senator, we've got a lot to talk about, including leaks coming from the Democrats, classified leaks, to try to give them cover on China and the balloons. We'll talk about that. We also have to talk about an insane federal budget and a bunch of wokeness in it but before we get to that this is going to be something right up
