| 0:00.0 | Welcome. It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. And Senator, I cannot believe this is the second Sunday evening in the last couple of months where you and I are having a conversation about another assassination attempt against Donald Trump. |
| 0:18.9 | Well, let us start by saying, thank God, President Trump is okay. |
| 0:23.1 | Amen. |
| 0:23.7 | That he was not injured, that he was not, God forbid, killed in this assassination attempt. |
| 0:29.8 | But at the same time, every one of us should be horrified and should be angry. |
| 0:44.8 | That for the second time in 64 days a would-be assassin with a high-powered rifle has targeted President Trump. In the first instance, the assassin got off |
| 0:53.2 | several shots, ended up murdering one man in the crowd, |
| 0:58.1 | and injuring two others, ended up hitting Donald Trump, hitting him in the ear, |
| 1:03.6 | coming within a half inch of killing President Trump. |
| 1:08.0 | With yesterday's attempted assassination, the details are still not entirely clear. More |

| 1:46.0 | So the president wasn't harmed. |
| 1:48.8 | But for this to happen twice, twice in 64 days, is an incredible indictment of the security that is being provided right now to President Trump. |
| 2:02.8 | The decisions on the security are made by political appointees. They're made by Alejandro |
| 2:10.4 | Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security. They're made by the acting head of the Secret |
| 2:15.0 | Service. And presumably they're made by some combination of |
| 2:18.8 | Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. And despite now two assassination attempts, one with shots fired, |
| 2:30.8 | the other thankfully prevented, we think before shots could be fired. The Secret Service |
| 2:37.9 | leadership is still not doing what it takes to protect President Trump. Now, I get that Alejandro |
