Welcome, it is verdict of Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. There is obviously the big story of Donald Trump. He has pled innocent to the charges against him. And if you missed our last podcast, we went through the entire indictment. Make sure you go back and listen to that episode so you know what's happening with this indictment.

in exchange for official conduct. That is a massive bombshell. That is, look, we talked about

in Monday's podcast, and if you didn't listen to it, go back and listen to it,

we do a deep dive into the Trump indictment. We talked about how the threshold to indict a president

should be incredibly high. It shouldn't be for tic-tac offenses. It shouldn't be for one administration
