Welcome. It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you. Senator, we had planned on doing a deep dive today, and we'd promise many people on Monday's pod that we were going to get into some of the Biden crime family subpoenas and what had happened. We are going to push that to Friday purposely because we're expecting some new breaking news on that and also in light of what has

happened in the Senate today. I want to talk about this vote that happened where every single

Senate Democrat just voted to block aid to Israel on a day when 200,000 plus came to the steps of the Capitol to support Israel.

This was shocking that every one of them said no.

Well, that's exactly right.

Today was a momentous day.

And look, I spent this afternoon down at the mall with the March for Israel, and we had

hundreds of thousands of people from all over America descend on Washington and stand

together for Israel, and it was inspirational. I spent a lot of time down there just hugging

people and encouraging them and taking pictures and saying thank you and and the

spirit of unity i mean we've seen over the last month the nastiness we've seen the vicious

anti-semitism we've seen the hatred for israel we've seen has been really horrifying and

and the march for israel was spectacular to be a part of and then after

that I came back to to Capitol Hill and a group of of us a group of senators decided okay enough is

enough we are going to force a vote on military aid to Israel right now.

So, as you know, what happened, the House of Representatives took up and passed a clean

Israel aid bill, $14 billion in emergency military aid for Israel.

The Biden White House wants to tie that military aid to Ukraine

and also more broadly to their efforts to increase illegal immigration. They call it in a very

Orwellian term, border security funding, but it's designed not to secure the border at all instead

to increase illegal immigration, to accelerate the time for processing, to spend more money

to putting illegal immigrants on trains and planes and buses to send them to every city in America.
