Welcome, it is verdict for Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you and our guest JD Vance live from CPAC

This is gonna be fun for everyone listening to the show later we they have a you guys have a vote

Yep today and

You both have to go back. We decided we're gonna make this work. We'll have JD on with us as well

Senator let's just talk about like you guys have really good jobs, but I've learned you guys have no idea what your schedule is

How is that possible in government?

Actually, you got the joke. All right there. I like that. It is a bizarre thing in the Senate

You have utterly no control over your schedule the Senate majority leader decides when to call a vote and

Look Chuck Schumer is really bad at it

So you have literally no idea what's happening he'll come in decide to have a vote maybe not decide to have a vote

So on Thursday nights typically we fly into DC Monday mornings we fly home Thursday nights

But we don't know if we're home or not so I would call home

I remember you know one of my girls were little I'd call home and and they'd say well daddy

You're gonna be home tonight and I'd say have no idea and and and actually

Caroline referred to Mitch McConnell for years as that mean man

Because she would say she'd asked daddy are you coming home?

And I said well it depends on on when Mitch calls the vote she said is that mean man gonna let you come home tonight

Which I told Mitch that news crediting last pretty hard he thinks that's that's funny

But is that not a bizarre aspect of this job?

It really is and the so my my version of this is you know

When I first got sworn in early January and I would go home and do a lot of radio interviews with people

They say what's what's the most interesting part of the job?
