Welcome. It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you as always. Senator, we've got a lot to talk about, including the second IRS whistleblower coming forward and telling his story at a very shocking place. We're going to tell you about that at a moment. Also, would you have ever imagined that a big presidential campaign would be launched on social media?

Rhonda Santis did exactly that.

We'll talk about how unique that is.

And Target, they're going woke and, well, they're going broke.

Target has lost $8 to $9 billion.

They say in the week following the calls for a boycott over their gay pride LGBTQ plus friendly kids clothing and propaganda.

Senator, let's start with this IRS whistleblower.

You and I were talking before the show.

It's interesting that he's come forward.

It's also very interesting where he did his sit-down interview.

Let's talk about that. Well, it's quite stunning. CBS News put him front and center, interviewed him on camera,

and he's making serious allegations. He's making serious allegations that the Biden Department of

Justice is slow walking, is blocking the investigation of Hunter

Biden. One of the consequences of those allegations is if that's true, it means Merrick Garland

lied under oath. And I got to say, listening to this interview on CBS takes your breath away.

Give a listen. When i took control of this particular

investigation i immediately saw it you know was way outside the norm of what what i've experienced in

the past gary shappley is a supervisory special agent for the irs where he's worked for 14 years

in january 2020 he was assigned to what he calls a high-profile investigation.

Who's the subject of the investigation?

I can't confirm or deny the subject of this investigation.

Why not?
