| 0:00.0 | Well, welcome. It is Verdict with Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. And Senator, I got to say you were right, but you were kind of like a really long, you know, big cast that you said of a net over the time frame. You said that Canada and Mexico would cave in 36 days and it was only 36 hours. |
| 0:23.5 | Like, I need you to narrow that window down next time. |
| 0:26.5 | Well, it was a stunning victory, a victory for the United States, a victory for President Trump. |
| 0:30.9 | We predicted on Monday's podcast that the tariffs that had been announced against Mexico and against Canada that they would be lifted. |
| 0:37.7 | And we predicted the reason they would be lifted is that both Mexico and Canada would cave to President Trump's demands and would lean in vigorously to help us secure our borders. |

| 1:30.4 | It was powerful, and it demonstrated real strength. |
| 1:34.8 | And finally, Doge, Elon Musk and Doge, I got to say, I'm excited about Doge, I'm excited about what they're doing. |
| 1:41.7 | They're already highlighting and going after incredible waste, |
| 1:45.5 | incredible abuse throughout our government system. And I've got to say that the Democrats are lighting |
| 1:51.8 | their hair on fire. They're running around in absolute terror. We're going to break that all down for you. |
| 1:57.4 | I tell you, the pace that they are getting things done is one that is amazing. It's why we |
