Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you, Senator. We've got a lot to unpack on today's episode, especially dealing, first off, with what happened with an illegal immigrant that decided to turn a gun on his neighbors.

We're going to give you all the details on that. Plus, some breaking news with Hunter Biden that deals with the

Secretary of St. Anthony Blinken now being accused of lying under oath to Congress. And there's

a Supreme Court justice that's now saying he thinks he knows who the leaker is at the Supreme

Court. Is it time to bring in the FBI? That's something you called for. We're going to deal with all of that on today's show.

Many of them were shot execution style.

Two of the adults who were killed, their bodies were found laying on top of children,

and they saved the children's lives

by sacrificing their own bodies. This psychopath committed this crime not far from where you and I live.

It was in Cleveland, Texas, which is north of Houston. And it's horrific, A, that anyone would go and execute a family and execute children. But as soon as it happened, the media went into their standard playbook, where it was all about the AR-15 and it was the

gun's fault and you saw article after article after article well this just shows that it's the

gun's fault and the answer is we need more gun control we need more gun control and I have to tell
