Ben Ferguson
Welcome. It is Verdict with Ted Cruz, Week in Review. Ben Ferguson with you. And these are the major stories that we talked about this week that you may have missed. First up, the White House takes their hand off of Israel actually threatening Israel that if they go into Rafa, you can kiss your support and military aid goodbye. Will this backfire on the administration? And what does this mean for the terrorists in the region? We'll get into that in just a moment. Also, is there anything that Congress will do after we found out that the anti Israel protesters on college campuses are being funded by some of the biggest adversaries of the United States of America in the world? And finally, Hunter Biden sugar daddy cuts him off after letting him borrow more than $6 million. Don't worry, none of the money has to be paid back apparently until after election day. So why did he cut him off just weeks before he's going to trial? We'll explain the backstory of what that may mean for the president's reelection campaign. It's the week in review and it starts right now. Senator, I also want to ask you about a second part of what we've learned. And this actually came out in the Washington Post. The US apparently offers Israeli Israel intelligence and supplies an effort to avoid the Rafa invasion. Now this is, I think maybe a quid pro quo. Is that how you would describe it?
- [01:35]
Ted Cruz
Well, I would say it's even worse than that. So, so this is an article that came out in the Washington Post, so that was published a lot of places and it was on May 11. The title of the article is what you just said. US Sites Intelligence offers Israel Supplies to Limit Rafah Operation. Let me read to the first couple of paragraphs because it really is stunning news when you understand, quote, the Biden administration working urgently to stave off a full scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance in an effort to persuade it to hold back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group's hidden tunnels, according to four people familiar with the US Offers. Now, I want you to pause and understand what that means. It means the Biden administration is saying that right now they know where senior Hamas leaders are and right now they are not telling Israel where the senior Hamas leaders are. That also means that Biden is saying right now the administration knows where Hamas's hidden tunnels are and right now they are not telling Israel where the hidden tunnels are. Now, I mentioned before that there is a pro Hamas wing of the administration. What in the hell, Hamas murdered 1200 Israelis. It is US policy that Hamas are terrorists. By the way, they murdered over 30Americans. And what this White House knows where the senior leaders are and is like, nope, nope, we're not going to tell you. We're not going to tell you. Like, how the hell is that possible? And now they're saying, well, if you don't invade Rafa and go after Hamas, we'll tell you where the leadership is. That is truly stunning.
- [03:30]
Ben Ferguson
Isn't that the same thing that they were implying, by the way, that Donald Trump, they accused him and impeached him like that. Quid pro quo with Ukraine, remember, I'll go after the Bidens, even though that's not actually what it was. It was the real quid. Quid pro quo back then was Joe Biden withholding a billion dollars from Ukraine until they fired the prosecutor that was going after the company where his son was getting paid and he was getting the other kickbox.
- [03:58]
Ted Cruz
Look, look, Ben, I don't care. I don't care about the quid pro quo. I don't care even about the. The analogies to the Trump impeachment. Everyone knew at the time that was a partisan exercise by Democrats because they hated Trump. Had nothing to do with Ukraine, had nothing to do with quid pro quo. It just had to do with Orange Man Bat. It had to do with Trump derangement syndrome. We will weaponize impeachment to go after Trump. By the way, it's the same thing that has led 1, 2, 3, 4 Democrat prosecutions of Trump in the past year. It's what led to the ridiculous circus playing out in the New York trial court. Just like the last ridiculous circus that played out in a different New York trial court. The one, the civil trial that resulted in a half billion dollar judgment against Trump, the current one where Democrats are living their fantasy. This is fantasy porn. And by the way, I don't mean in terms of actual. A porn star discussing salacious details. That's actually the least pornographic thing for leftists. They're just loving seeing Trump dragged through the mud because they hate his guts. And so. And so I am less concerned about the quid pro quo stuff than I am about the simple reality. Given a choice between Israel and Hamas, Joe Biden and today's Democrats over and over and over again choose Hamas. That is astonishing. It is idiotic, it is unprecedented, it is dangerous, it is indefensible, and there are no Democrats defending it. Every Democrat ought to be asked, why, given the choice between Israel and Hamas, do you choose to give money and weapons to Hamas and blockade weapons to Israel.
- [05:52]
Ben Ferguson
Well, let's go back quickly to you guys getting notified about the president deciding to change this and to basically go around the sanctions. So if I've got the list correct, there's these newest, hey, we're going to allow for, you know, these weapons to be sold to places that are basically hate Israel. We have Iran, that we have oil sanctions on Iran right now that we're not imposing. And we have a president. This is coming also from the New York Times, Peter Baker, that Biden privately threatened to rethink his support for the war in a private call with Netanyahu back in February. That would be two months before doing so publicly. So lying to the American people are misleading them. The White House didn't put it into the readout of the call because they purposely were trying to, I would argue, cover up or avoid, quote, a public blow up. And the New York Times has got this now.
- [06:49]
Ted Cruz
No, look, that's exactly right. This administration, from the beginning, from January 20, 2021, they have been systematically undermining Israel. And by the way, some Democrats will say, well, it's Netanyahu they hate. Look, there's a unity government. Israel, the entire war cabinet supports going into Rafah. That Rafa is where the Hamas terrorists are and Israel is committed. We're going to destroy Hamas. The Biden administration and the Democrats have decided they're going to use the full force of the American government to try to protect Hamas from Israel.
- [07:24]
Ben Ferguson
Senator, final question I have for you is this. If you are Israel right now, in, in essence, you're being blackmailed to, to not protect yourself. You have a country that's supposed to be your ally, that they're heavily dependent on for military aid and equipment. And the president saying, I'm not giving it to you if you don't do what I tell you to do. And you see this, and then you look at our withdrawal from Afghanistan and then you look at what's happening in Russia, Ukraine. If you're an ally of America right now, do you feel like you're actually a genuine ally? Because in the past, if you were an ally of America, it meant big brother America is going to protect and defend you. And you don't screw with the little brother because they're an ally of America. And if you do, there will be major consequences. That seems to be completely gone now in the world.
- [08:16]
Ted Cruz
Yeah, look, I think every ally of America is questioning how valuable is that with Joe Biden as president being an ally of America, you can't count on this administration. Let's take, for example, a country like Saudi Arabia. Listen, I think if Donald Trump had served a second term, Saudi Arabia would have joined the Abraham Accords. They were very close to. They were ready to do so. And Biden came in and he immediately began undermining our allies, including Saudi Arabia. And Saudi Arabia still has not joined the Abraham Accords. And I think.
- [08:49]
Ben Ferguson
Explain the Abraham Accords. People that may, that are listed may not understand exactly what that means.
- [08:53]
Ted Cruz
So the Abraham Accords were historic peace deals that Donald Trump and his administration negotiated. And they were peace deals. They were peace accords between Israel and several Arab countries, between the United Arab Emirates, between Bahrain and Israel. And I was there on the South Lawn of the White House when they were signed into law. And it was, you had to go back 40 years for the last time something like this had happened had been either with Jordan or with Egypt. And it had been 40 years since we'd seen peace between the Arabs and the Israelis. And we were seeing multiple Arab countries signing normalization accords. They were called the Abraham Accords with Israel. Now, I will say it was very sad when the Abraham Accords were signed. Do you know how many Democrat senators showed up at the signing?
- [09:42]
Ben Ferguson
I'm going to guess between zero and five.
- [09:45]
Ted Cruz
Zero.
- [09:46]
Ben Ferguson
There you go.
- [09:47]
Ted Cruz
By the way, when we opened our embassy in Jerusalem in Israel, I was there. I flew to Israel. I was there at Jerusalem. The day we opened the embassy happened to be the 70th anniversary of the creation of the modern state of Israel. You know how many Democrats were there, either senators or House members, the day we opened our embassy in Jerusalem?
- [10:06]
Ben Ferguson
I'm going to go with zero.
- [10:07]
Ted Cruz
Zero, Not a one. Now, Joe Lieberman was there, so you could say he was a former Democrat senator. But to be clear, the Democrats drove him out of the party. And the last time he was reelected, he was reelected as an independent because they'd beaten him in the Democrat primary. So he had been a Democrat, but he didn't lose his mind and decide that he hated Israel. And so that was the closest we have. And by the way, the defense that some Democrats gave as to why they didn't go to the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem, which, by the way, many, many Democrat senators had claimed they supported for years, the defense they gave as well, Trump didn't invite us. You know what? Trump didn't invite me either. When they opened, when they were opening the embassy, I said, I'm going. And by the way, let me tell you how it works. As a senator, if you want to go somewhere, you go, you don't have to be invited by the White House. They don't decide where you travel. As a senator, I decided, this is an historic moment. I will be there. And I flew down there. Mike Lee flew down there with me. Lindsey Graham was down there, Dean Heller was there. There were several Republican senators. I proposed to Mike, hey, do you want to go to Israel for the opening of the embassy? Said, absolutely, let's go. And we flew down. The reason no Democrats were there is they didn't want to be there. They didn't want to be at the signing of the Abraham Accords. And the point is, the value of being an ally to America when Joe Biden and the feckless Democrats are in charge is much, much less than it used to be. And that's tragic. It should be really valuable to be a friend and ally of America. And, and listen, if you're the government of Taiwan right now, you gotta be looking around going, boy, I'm feeling really lonely. And those are some big Chinese missiles and big, big Chinese amphibious vehicles that, that are looming on the horizon.
- [12:00]
Ben Ferguson
Now if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, you can go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week. Now on to story number two. So is there anything that Congress can do? I mean, you, you're hearing this, everyone's hearing this. Now you mentioned it earlier. Can you ask the FBI director, can you call on them to take action here and to look into this? Or is this just a, hey, they're on our side as the Democratic Party, the socialists and the Marxists and the communists within the Democratic Party. We don't care cuz we want their influence and we want their money.
- [12:39]
Ted Cruz
So yes, I've called on the Biden administration to do this. I've called on the irs, I've called on the FBI. Many, many of these organizations that are pushing These protests are 501C3s which are supposed to be tax exempt. They're supposed to be not engaging in political activ. Called on the IRS to investigate that already. Look, in a sane world, the FBI would be examining this closely. We watched during the Trump presidency the whole Russia, Russia, Russia nonsense, which was totally made up. It was based on Hillary Clinton campaign oppo research. But it became the obsession, number one of the deep state and number two now of the Biden administration. And yet I have no indication that the Department of Justice is doing anything to examine this. I have no indication that the FBI and by the way, The FBI ought to announce they are investigating this. If they were doing it, they shouldn't keep it a secret. They should make absolutely clear that what is happening on these campuses is deeply concerning and they're going to get to the bottom of who's funding it. But they're not doing that. And I don't believe they will, because many of the funders, in addition to being the Chinese Communists and the Cuban Communists, many of the funders are also the top funders for the Democrat Party. And this Department of Justice operates as an adjunct to the White House. It is a Democrat enforcement bureau, which means I don't think they're going to go after the top funders of the Democrat Party because you know what their objective is? To reelect Joe Biden. And so stopping foreign communist governments from fomenting dissent, protecting Jewish students on campus, preventing our universities from being ripped apart, preventing airports from being shut down, preventing freeways from being shut down. Remember, these are the same people who, during the, quote, Summer of Love, the Deep State, didn't want to do anything. And so I don't believe the Biden administration's gonna do a damn thing.
- [14:32]
Ben Ferguson
You mentioned something that we talked about, and it jogged my memory from may have been two or three episodes ago where we were talking about it was very clear that the same people in this country that are funding Joe Biden's reelect for president are the exact same people that are funding the campus rioters. And so you combine that, right, with now the foreign money, this is a hell of a lot of influence center over the United States of America and young people. And is it being orchestrated by the foreigners or is this being orchestrated by the Biden administration? In essence, yes.
- [15:10]
Ted Cruz
Look, understand, this is not organic. This is not occurring spontaneously. This is highly organized. There's a reason why all of these activists have the same damn tents. Because the groups that are pushing this sent out links to the same Amazon link to buy the tents. And they are being funded. They're being funded, number one, by radical leftists. They're being funded by anarchists. They're being funded by Communists. And I don't use Communists as a pejorative, as just an insult. I mean, people who embrace communism. And as we're laying out here, it's not just American Communists, of which there are sadly far too many. It is Chinese Communists, the Chinese Communist Party, it is Cuban Communists. And they see this as a vulnerability in America, a way to tear us apart. Look, you look at a place, we were talking about elite institutions. You look at A place like Duke University. Ben, how the hell is Jerry Seinfeld now? Too controversial of a speaker for campus leftists. We saw at Duke's commencement, oh, about 50 anti Semitic leftists storm out. And by the way, Seinfeld was not giving a speech about Israel. He was not. He happens to support Israel. They simply said, dammit, I will not listen to a Jew. I am such a bigot. If you invite a Jew to speak to me, I will walk out ostentatiously. You look at the recent graduation at Columbia where you had these nitwits walking up and ripping their diploma in half. And I mean, they are angry, they are bigoted on the left. Being a bigot hating Jews is accepted on the left. Now that is an acceptable bigotry.
- [16:53]
Ben Ferguson
I don't understand why these universities, and maybe it's just because I'm old school. And I think you would agree with me if back when I was in school, if you ripped up your diploma when you were walking across the stage, they probably would have just taken away from you and said you didn't graduate.
- [17:10]
Ted Cruz
Yeah. So it's an interesting question.
- [17:12]
Ben Ferguson
Consequences is what I'm saying.
- [17:15]
Unnamed Co-host
Probably.
- [17:16]
Ted Cruz
I will say, I'm not sure you could do that. You might actually have a breach of contract claim if you have actually paid your tuition and passed your classes. I'm not sure they could revoke your diploma at that point. But you know what? They could certainly print on your transcript. Ben Ferguson is embarrassed to have graduated from Ole Miss and tore up his diploma. You should know that if you're thinking of hiring him.
- [17:39]
Ben Ferguson
Final question for you on, on what we just exposed. What is it that people need to do with this information? And is this just more of a, hey, if you've got a kid or a grandkid that is looking at where they're going to be, going to college is part of this. Pay attention to what they're doing to your kid's mind. And don't just assume that because your kid gets into a prestigious university that's the right decision to send them there.
- [18:07]
Ted Cruz
Look, that's a hard choice. And I will say parents, particularly parents with high school and college age kids, it's a really hard choice. My view has long been that a kid should go to the best school they can get into. And it does open doors, it opens career doors. It's beneficial. I will say the more radicalized these places get, the less convinced I am. That makes sense. I will say I saw an article recently talking about how many top high school graduates are now looking at schools in the south, by the way, it's easy. And we talked about this in a prior podcast. It's easy to say, oh, all colleges are just crazy and this is just a problem across the country. No, that's not true. This is a problem in blue states. This is a problem at Columbia, at nyu, at Yale, at Harvard. This is a problem at Princeton. This is a problem at ucla. This is a problem at UC Berkeley. This is a problem at usc. This is a problem at University of Washington. This is a problem in blue states. Why is it a problem in blue states? Because you have Democrats who will not stand up against it, who will not protect Jewish students, who will not oppose anti Semitism, who will not lock up protesters, who will not stop pro Hamas protesters, who will not stop threats of violence. These are the same people that were utterly powerless in the so called summer of Love and let anarchists take over portions of major cities in America. These are the same people who allowed Black Lives Matter and antifa protesters to firebomb police cars, to loot stores, to commit crimes. We're not seeing this in red states. Look, you and I both live in Texas. At ut, there were protests. You know what they did? They sent in the police. And if you committed threats of violence, you got arrested. And miraculously you didn't have the garbage you had at these other schools. You look at places whether University of North Carolina or other Southern schools, they don't have the problems.
- [19:59]
Unnamed Co-host
Florida.
- [20:00]
Ted Cruz
Look, Florida and Texas. Listen, you and I both have a lot of very close Jewish friends. They're not living in fear in Texas, they're not living in fear in Florida.
- [20:11]
Unnamed Co-host
But you know what?
- [20:11]
Ted Cruz
They are living in fear in New York and New Jersey and Connecticut and California. And ideology has consequences. If you have leftists who embrace cultural Marxism, who believe Jews are oppressors, you know what? They're not going to oppress Jewish students. And that is sadly, where today's radicalized Democrat party is.
- [20:34]
Ben Ferguson
As before, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation on this topic, you can go back and download the podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing. I want to get back to the big story number three of the week you may have missed. There's another report that has hit the same time that Hunter Biden's sugar daddy, Kevin Morris is, quote, tapped out of cash after funding President Biden's son. That would be the famous Hunter Biden. He has been funding the President's son's legal battles now for almost half a decade. His, quote, close friend Karen Kevin Morse, who said, I don't know.
- [21:15]
Unnamed Co-host
I'm.
- [21:15]
Ben Ferguson
I'm not getting anything out of this guy. I'm just a good guy. He said to have loaned Hunter BIDEN More than $6 million. This is. Hunter Biden is facing two criminal trials starting in a few weeks. And now the sugar daddy saying, I'm out after six grand. My question is the timing of this. He's seen the same poll numbers you're seeing. He's seeing the same momentum that you and I are seeing day in and day out with Donald Trump. Uh, he's seeing the same economic news that's coming out, and he's seeing these trials come up, and it's. Is he cutting basically a bad investment at this point, saying, okay, I'm hedging my bets. Joe Biden's not gonna be able to do me favors for another four years. Why would I keep spending my money?
- [22:01]
Unnamed Co-host
Of course he is. So the headline in the Daily Mail, which broke the story, is, Hunter Biden's sugar brother, Kevin Morris, quote, tapped out of cash after funding president's son's legal battles for almost five years. Here's how it begins. Hollywood lawyer and Hunter Biden's sugar brother, Kevin Morris, is said to be tapped out of cash after financially supporting Hunter's legal battles over the last four and a half years to the tune of $6 million. Let me ask you, do you have any friends that are good enough friends that you give them $6 million?
- [22:37]
Ben Ferguson
No. And not only that, I love how the money apparently supposed to be paid back after the election.
- [22:43]
Unnamed Co-host
The Daily Mail continues. The withdrawal of financial support for the president's son comes at the worst possible time for Hunter. With two trials looming, which could end up seeing him serve jail time. I got to say, this is striking. Nobody seemed to care. The press didn't seem to care that there was this lawyer in California funding Joe Biden's son's legal defense up until this stage. But the fact that he is bailing out, I got to tell you that there is the old phrase, the rats are running from the ship, that starts to suggest that's exactly what happened here.
- [23:20]
Ben Ferguson
Yeah, quid. Quid pro quo. You got to have somebody that can hook you up on the end of it. And if Joe Biden's out of office, what's the point of keeping your money flowing to this, to Hunter Biden? This could may be major. Could mean major complications also for Hunter Biden's legal defense. Can that be used as a delay tactic, is my question.
- [23:40]
Unnamed Co-host
Oh, they'll Try, but I don't think it will succeed. Here's what the Daily Mail reported, quote, the Paramount in 2019, during DAD presidents Biden's campaign for the White House, they quickly developed a close friendship. Justice Hunter was trying to get his life on track and stay sober at the time. Morris helped him get safe housing. He was dubbed Hunter's sugar brother after he agreed to loan the first son A reported $2.8 million to pay off his tax debts and joined his legal team amidst criminal and congressional investigations. But now, after four and a half years of shouldering the financial burden, having loaned him more than 6.5 million, Morris is no longer willing to foot the bill.
- [24:25]
Ben Ferguson
Where does he get the money now? I'm gonna guess it's probably gonna be some, some of his foreign businesses or hey, maybe it's some really nice artwork that'll go for more than a half a million dollars because apparently getting a half million dollars to do finger painting is pretty impressive. That's just the going right now. If you're the President's son. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. If you have a cell phone and you have a cell phone with Big Mobile, you may not realize that you're actually supporting Planned Parenthood. You may not realize you're supporting Democratic causes and candidates running at the local, state and national level. Well, with Big Mobile, they give big donations to the left. And once I found that out, I had to make the switch. Now, the number one reason why people don't switch cell phone providers is because in the past, it's been incredibly time consuming. Not anymore. With technology in 2024. In fact, switching to Patriot Mobile, you do not have to go to a store. You can literally do it over the phone. And when you switch to Patriot Mobile, with every phone call you make, with every text message you send, you're supporting conservative values and causes because they take about 5% of your bill each and every month. And they give it back to conservative organizations that support free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, the second Amendment, and they support our military, veterans, first responders, and our wounded warrior heroes. So when you make a call and you pay your bill, you're so standing up for what you believe in. So don't wait too long. Make the switch. You get the same exact service you used to right now, because you're going to use the same towers that you're using right now. You can keep your same cell phone number, keep the same phone you have in your hand right now, or upgrade to a new one all you got to do is go to patriotmobile.com verdict that's patriot mobile.com verdict or call them 972 Patriot. That's 972 Patriot and you're going to get free activation when you use the offer code verdict. Join me make the switch today and make a difference. Patriot mobile.com verdict or 972-patriot Finally, Senator, one other thing that has happened and this is going to continue to break and become a bigger story, but we are now finding out that the White House is refusing a FOIA request. It is a request that was filed to find out about the nationalities of people on the terror watch list that have been arrested by Border Patrol in recent years. The CBP now says they will not turn over the data citing privacy and law enforcement sensitivity exemptions, saying that, yeah, deal with it. We're not giving you the intel on how many people have come across the southern border that are on the terrorist watch list and what nations they're coming from.
- [27:24]
Unnamed Co-host
Well, this is the third story we're covering today that deals with Biden cover ups. That's the unifying theme behind all these stories. In this instance, they're covering up the likely terrorist and the criminal threats that are crossing into this border illegally through Joe Biden and the Democrats open borders. And let me read you a tweet from Bill Milluchin. Bill Malugian, as you know, is the heroic, the fantastic reporter for Fox News has done more reporting on the border than I think any reporter in the whole country. So here's what Bill Malujian tweeted, quote, new six plus months ago, I filed a FOIA request with CBP seeking the nationalities of people on the terror watch list arrested by Border Patrol in recent years. CBP now says they will not turn over that data, citing privacy and law enforcement sensitivity exemptions, telling me, quote, the privacy interests of the individuals in the records you have requested outweigh any minimal public interest in disclosure of the information. Any private interest you may have in the information does not factor into the aforementioned balancing test. I did not ask for any names, IDs, addresses, anything that would breach privacy, nor did I ask for any law enforcement sensitive information. I simply requested only and only as bracketed by asterisks on both sides, the nationalities of people arrested on the list so the public can have an understanding of where in the world they are coming from. CBP acknowledges in the opening paragraphs of their response letter to me that all I asked for was the nationalities of those arrested on the terror watch list. But they then Go on to cite exemptions that have nothing to do with what I requested, including medical files, phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, dates of birth, etc. None of which I sought. And they even cite an exemption regarding, quote, records which could be reasonably expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual. I disagree with CBP's withholdings of this data based on exemptions that have nothing to do with my FOIA request.
- [29:41]
Ted Cruz
And.
- [29:41]
Unnamed Co-host
And I will be appealing immediately. Let me ask you something, Ben. What is Joe Biden, this administration and the Democrats, what are they hiding?
- [29:52]
Ben Ferguson
Yeah. And the question is, where are they hiding? And how is it affecting, most importantly, our security in this country with terrorists coming across the southern border? We know they're coming across, but they.
- [30:02]
Unnamed Co-host
Don'T want us to know what countries.
- [30:04]
Ben Ferguson
Yeah. And why is that? What is your guess?
- [30:07]
Unnamed Co-host
Because it's damning. Because the countries are countries where there's massive terrorism. They're jihadists. They're people that want to kill Americans. And it illustrates, I've said repeatedly, we're at a greater risk of a major terrorist attack in the United States than we have been any time since September 11th. It is tragically going to happen. I don't want it to happen. But Joe Biden and the Democrats are inviting terrorists to come into this country. Iran has demanded global jihad against America. Hamas has demanded global jihad against America. Hezbollah has demanded global jihad against America. And Joe Biden and the Democrats are inviting people in. And I assume from their refusal to tell us so we know there have been hundreds of people on the terror watch list who've been apprehended. They have not released what countries they came from. I assume, based on their refusal to do so, that the country list is really damning, that they're from countries that are dangerous, that have lots of terrorists who want to kill us. And this is political. This is all about hiding the politics. It reminds me of you remember? And we talked about this. We did a whole podcast on this when the data broke, about the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants that Joe Biden had flown into America, flown into cities all over America. And the Biden administration refused to disclose which cities, and they claimed it was. It was national security information they wouldn't receive. Release it. Ultimately, we got that information. We covered that on this podcast. What cities? They were overwhelmingly cities in Florida and Texas, which is not surprising given this administration is so political. They're trying to do everything they can to screw Florida and Texas. But their claim that it was a national security risk to release those cities was a lie. It was politically embarrassing. And that's exactly true here. It's politically embarrassing. I hope through litigation or political pressure. Pressure we can get the information. But Joe Biden and the administration are counting on that. They can stonewall until at least the election.
- [32:16]
Ben Ferguson
It's all about the election, isn't it? Don't forget we are going to keep you updated on this story. I have a feeling more will break on this. And we do this show Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We have a week in review for what you may have missed on Saturdays as well. So make sure you hit that subscribe or auto download button. And on those in between days, I'll keep you updated on the latest breaking news on my podcast, the Ben Ferguson Podcast. So grab that, hit the subscriber auto download button as well and I'll keep you updated there. And the senator and I will see you back here on Saturday. As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. Don't forget to download my podcast and you can listen to my podcast every other day you're not listening to Verdict or each day when you listen to Verdict afterwards.
