Welcome, it is Vertiquist, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, and to all of you listening right now,

I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving. Senator, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your family as well.

A wonderful Thanksgiving, and I hope everyone had a chance to have some turkey and stuffing and cranberry and be with family.

And pause to just reflect on the many things we have to give thanks for being Americans, being free,

living in the greatest country, in the history of the world.

And I hope that you're taking these few days a break from work, just a hug on people you love.

And to remember, you know, I've never met anyone at the end of life who says, you know,

I just wish I'd spent less time with my kids.

That's not what people say.

And so spend time, you know, this past weekend was my mother's 90th birthday

and and and Heidi and I hosted a dinner and we had family and friends come in and and just went around

the table and and everyone took the chance just to talk about my mom talk about what an amazing person

she is talk about how she had touched each of our lives my mom is 90 and still going strong. And I'll tell you,

it was kind of fun, Ben. So I had everyone also record a little video that we played for her at the

restaurant. And as a surprise to her, when I was flying with Trump on Trump Force One down to Bocahika for the rocket launch,

I asked Trump if he'd be willing to record a video for my mom for her birthday.

So I pulled out my cell phone, and he was happy to do so.

He recorded a very nice video and wished her happy birthday, and in classic Trump style.

He said, Eleanor, I hear you're an amazing woman.

I understand you're turning 90, although everyone says you look 40.

That's in Trump fashion right there. By the way, that's exactly what you would expect from him.

Did she absolutely love the moment? Yeah, she laughed out loud. She was astonished.
