0:05.5	Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, and it's nice to have you with us wherever you're listening around the country.
0:12.3	We have got a lot of news that has been breaking this week, including a major victory as a New York appeals court has thrown out that half a billion dollar penalty against
