We have just wrapped up the Republican National Convention, and I have to tell you, it is really

refreshing to see American flags that are not on fire after the past several weeks and months.

And we will get into all of it with someone who knows all of the players,

knows all of the issues and is deeply involved in everything that we're looking forward to,

not just in November, but moving forward afterward.

This is Verdict with Ted Cruz.

Thank you. but moving forward afterward. This is Verdict with Ted Cruz. Welcome back to Verdict.

Well, that's true. I'm in the great state of Texas, although when I woke up this morning,

I didn't know where for sure I would be. You know, we obviously had a hurricane late last night

that made landfall right at the Texas, Louisiana border.
