Welcome. It is verdict with Ted Cruz in our week in review, Ben Ferguson with you. And these are the major stories that we talked about this week. And, well, it was a big week in news. First up, Democrats still out to lunch, not understanding exactly why the policies they have on illegal immigration lost them the election.

How do we know this?

Because of new polling data that proves they were out of touch with reality on securing

the southern border.

We'll break that down for you.

Also, the big lie, you may remember the left and the media said that there were not gangs from other countries

And I laughed because it's something that you actually said on this show a couple years ago.

Jessica Tarlove and Katie Couric were talking about GOP governors, sending illegal immigrants to other parts of country from border states. And I want to play

this clip for people. It's in and they're specifically we're talking about Ron DeSantis in Florida,

Greg Abbott in Texas. And this is what they said in reaction. On the immigration front,

there was a tendency amongst Democrats and especially Democrats who were discussing the issues.

So people who do interviews or are part of the media to minimize it over the first two and a half years when there were a lot of people coming in here.
