Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. We are doing this podcast after midnight.

Senator, you're at the border. You are there where Title 42 has literally just expired.

What does this mean for the country? And what have you seen today?

Well, Ben, you and I are recording this. It is right now 12.14 a.m. Friday morning. Title 42 expired at midnight.

So for 14 minutes, the last legal authority the Biden administration was using to deport illegal aliens is no longer in

effect. From the first day of the Biden presidency until today, we've seen over six and a half

million people cross into this country, the worst illegal immigration in the history of our country.

As of right now, it is about to get much, much worse. And so I flew down this afternoon, Thursday afternoon, and came to the

southern border with three other senators senators with roger marshall

with john hovin and ted bud and the four of us wanted to see firsthand what is happening here

we wanted to be here for the expiration of title 42 to let the american people know what is

happening and that the biden administration wants this absolute catastrophe to unfold.

It is truly shocking to watch the images that so many Americans saw, and we'll see over the

weekend of the drone footage, if you've been watching Fox News Channel, of tens of thousands of people waiting to come across

the border. And there was a warning that was given, advice that was given, not only to the

Biden administration by Border Patrol, but we actually have a guest with us tonight that warned

the Biden administration that this was going to happen.

And the Biden transition team clearly said, no, no, no, no, we don't care about the chaos and the anarchy.

We want this by design.

Well, that's exactly right.

And so tonight, Ben, you and I are joined by someone who has become a very good friend of mine.

Brandon Judd.
