there have been very few things harder to achieve in foreign policy, maybe nothing harder to achieve in foreign policy, than peace in the Middle East.

Nobody was able to see that coming. And yet, just this past week, we have had an historic deal for peace in the Middle East, and we happen to have a guy who was there for all of it.

This is Verdict with Ted Cruz.

Welcome back to verdict with Ted Cruz.

I'm Michael Knowles.

Senator, I have to point out that this past week we've seen not just one, but two historic milestones,

a pathway to peace in the Middle East, and episode 50, a verdict with Ted Cruz.

I don't know which one is more historic.

Look, it's been 50 episodes, and I got to say, you know, when it was clear to me,

you weren't paying attention is when the fellow came up with a little clicky thing and said episode 50.

What's that called, by the way, the clicky thing?

It's called the clicky thing, actually.

That's the technical term for it.

And you apparently had no idea, so you weren't listening to him when he said episode 50.

I'm absolutely.

I was focusing on this other, I suppose, more minor historic milestone, peace in the Middle East.

World peace. You know, I just think you need to reexamine your priority, Michael.

That's true. You're right. Absolutely. Well, I wasn't there. I wasn't there for the Abraham Accord at the White House.

You've got President Trump, B.B. Netanyahu, leader of Bahrain,

leader of the United Arab Emirates. What makes this historic and what happened?

So the Abraham Accords, they were signed this past week, and the signing was on the south lawn of the

White House. So I was there, and then they had chairs set up outside.
