Welcome. It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. And the big news is the Senate bill, this border disaster bill, has failed. Senator, I want to get your reactionist. You fought incredibly hard to stop this bill, which had a lot of things in it that people I don't even think realize going down to the

wire. It would basically codify, it would have cutify open borders. It would have sent another

$60 billion to Ukraine, but only $20 billion to secure the southern border. It would have given

taxpayer-funded lawyers to illegals, and it would have cost the American taxpayers $1.4 billion to resettle illegals in the U.S.,

including travel and accommodations.

Look, the bill was a terrible bill.

Now, the good news is the bill is dead.

It is dead as a doorknob.

It is going to fail.

You and I are recording this.

It's 11 o'clock at night,

Tuesday night. Tomorrow, Wednesday, the Senate will vote on what's called cloture on the motion to

proceed. That's the initial vote to take up this bill. That's going to fail. It needs 60 votes to

proceed. It's not going to get it. You are going to see every Republican or almost every Republican vote now.

I don't know what the final vote will be.

There might be a couple of Republicans who vote yes, but we're going to see the overwhelming

majority of our conference vote now.

That's a very good thing.

That is the result of what has been an epic battle within the Republican conference in the Senate

for months.

The reason the bill is going to fail tomorrow is because the bill is a bad bill.

It does not fix the problem of our open borders.
