election interference. Donald Trump found guilty on all 34 counts. Welcome. It is verdict with

Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. Senator, you are in the car right now. I am in the studio.

It's about 10.30. Central time 11.30 Eastern. Give me your quick thoughts on what America just witnessed.

Well, it's an absolute travesty what I unfolded in the night. As you noted, I am in a pickup truck

driving south on the 45 freeway. I spent all day in in Dallas, Texas and driving home to Houston right now.

It is 1027 p.m. I'll get home past 2 in the morning, but we're doing this podcast on the phone.

Let me apologize. Our audio is not going to be the same quality we normally do when we're using the audio

equipment, but we wanted to get this out fast to address the issues tonight.

Everyone on planet Earth knows what happened tonight.

The New York trial convicted Donald Trump of 34 counts, felony that if the sentences were consecutive,

could put it in jail for more than 100 years.

That's not going to happen. It was an absolute miscarriage of justice.

This was not law.

This was not criminal justice.

This was politics.

This was a political hit job.

This was a spear.

This was the worst instance of election interference our country's ever seen.

What we're going to do tonight is we're going to break down what it means.

We're going to talk about what happens next.

We're going to talk about the next steps, how it impacts the elections, how it impacts Donald Trump, how it impacts the American people.

All of that we're going to impact in this special issue.
