Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, Senator.

Nice to chat with you today and let's start with the big headline that so many people,

especially in the Catholic faith, are talking about.

And that is the fact that it looks like the FBI was trying to infiltrate Catholic groups

and using, trying to use people in the church to basically become FBI informants.

There's also a lot of people that are asking the question now.

Did the FBI lie to Congress about this, saying, I don't know, we didn't do this, and now

it's coming to light that in fact this was actually happening, your initial reaction to

that?

Well, I think these reports are very concerning.

We have seen that the Biden Justice Department has a persistent animosity to religious

faith and that they are willing to weaponize the Department of Justice in the FBI to target

people of faith.

We've seen that in a host of different contexts.

We've seen that, for example, in their unwillingness to prosecute the protesters who are committing

federal crimes by protesting outside the homes of Supreme Court justices.

And because the Attorney General disagrees with the DOBS decision, he refuses to prosecute

even a single one of them at the same time.

We've also seen the Attorney General, the Department of Justice and the FBI, bring very

limited prosecutorial resources to going after violent terrorists who are attacking, who

are vandalizing, who are fire bombing, crisis pregnancy centers, again, because they're

politics, they don't prioritize those acts of violence.
