0:06.9

one trillion. Some people want to spend three trillion. I'm sure by the time this is all over, we'll be up 10,

0:11.9

11, however many trillion. Well, everybody is here trying to spend money. Nobody's pocketbook

is safe. We will get into the specifics of each bill being proposed. This is Verdict with Ted Cruz.

0:28.9

Welcome back to Verdict with Ted Cruz. I'm Michael Knowles. And I got to tell you, Senator, we're going to be talking about a lot of big numbers today, but beyond legislation,

0:38.3

there's a really big number on this show. We're now north of 14 million downloads. And beyond that,

0:44.3

we have 4.7 out of five-star reviews. That's our average rating. And I got to tell you,

1:40.2

On my desk in the Senate office is a cup holder filled with quill pens from arguments I've done.

1:46.3
