Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you as always, and Senator,

the number one question that everybody wants to know right now on this memorial day is

the Biden debt deal.

The Biden debt ceiling is their deal with Republicans, and if there is, what does that look like

for the American people?

Well, and it was announced on Sunday that there was an, quote, agreement in principle between

Joe Biden and Kevin McCarthy, and the agreement in principle included some cuts in spending

from what Biden wanted.

It also included an extension in the debt ceiling.

And I would say as we sit here, you and I are recording this Sunday night, at this point

we don't have the text of the bill.

We have not seen exactly what's in the bill.

So it is not entirely clear all of the details, but based on we know what we know now, there

are some good elements, but there are a lot of things that are disappointing.

As I'm sitting here right now, I'm disappointed that this agreement does not cut more.

And I'm also disappointed that this agreement adds a lot of debt in exchange for relatively

little cuts.

Now we can break that down piece by piece and walk through what's in it and what's not.

With the caveat that the bill text, at this point we still haven't seen, and presumably

we will see sometime soon.

Well, let's start with, is there something in this bill that we could probably get excited

about as conservatives?
