0:05.4	Welcome, it is Vertiquist.
0:07.0	Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson.
0:08.9	With you, Senator, I got to say there are certain days where it's just really extra fun
0:13.3	to be an American and watching us take on the cartels and watching us blow up a boat
0:20.0	filled with drugs after the president warned, you don't want to
0:23.7	keep doing this by Venezuela, and they did it anyway? God bless America. This is Trump, doctor,
0:28.9	and FAAFO 101. Well, let me say it is a bad time to be a narco-terrorist. It is a bad time to be an
0:36.1	enemy of America. And we saw President

1:30.0	an ordinance that DC passed in 2022 lessening the penalties for violent crime. I filed legislation
1:37.4	to repeal that 2022 law. We're going to talk about that as well. And finally, breaking news,
1:49.9	Donald J. Trump is alive. That news causes great pain, great hysteria, great mourning for Democrats, for the left-wing media, all of whom
