This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you. It's so nice to have you with us. If you're listening on the radio around the country, we've got a lot to cover in the show. And Senator, let's start with the big story first. The airport chaos, in theory, could be coming to an end as President Trump signs an order, an emergency declaration, to pay the TSA agents.
Well, it is fantastic news. The TSA agents are going to be paid. We should see the chaos at the airport subside. I hope it subsides very quickly. As you and I are recording this podcast, it is right now 2.23 in the morning, D.C. time, late Thursday night, early Friday morning. And the amazing thing is... Let's just say that time again.
This is your commitment, by the way, to the show.
What caused the airport chaos and how was it resolved?
Let's say that time again. This is a new record for us.
It is 2.23 in the morning, D.C. time. No, it's 2.24. D.C. time. Late Thursday night, early Friday morning. And at this point, the reason I'm having to timestamp this is we still do not know for certain what the final resolution of this is going to be. We think we know. but it could change. So right now, the entire day, they've been trying to negotiate a deal with the Democrats, and the Democrats have repeatedly moved the goalposts. And I will say where we ended up is actually where I urged the Republican conference to be two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I stood up and I told my colleagues, I said, and I talked about this on the podcast as well, but I stood up and told my colleagues, I said, listen, Our Democrat colleagues are nuts.
They have lost their mind. They are captured by the radical left wing in their base. And they are simply open border radicals who hate Donald Trump. Now, what does that mean? At that point, we'd had a shutdown of DHS for a couple of weeks. We'd had TSA agents who hadn't been paid. Coast Guardsmen who hadn't been paid, Secret Service officers who hadn't been paid, FEMA officials who hadn't been paid, over 200,000 federal workers at DHS who were not being paid. And what I told my Republican colleagues is I said, I think if it's up to the Democrats, they'll leave everything shut down forever. They'll literally, for the rest of the year, they'll be fine never opening the Department of Homeland Security.
Now, start with a basic point.
Yeah, and Senator, before you get to that, I want to take a moment. I want to talk to you about an awesome company. It is called Rough Greens, and if you have a dog, you are going to love Rough Greens.
What are the political strategies behind DHS funding?
The Ferguson family got bigger with a new puppy. And I can tell you, having one dog that is over a decade old and a new dog that's just months old, there's one thing they both have in common. I want them to live a great quality life. And that is exactly why I give them Rough Greens. Now, I've been telling you about my older dog and some of the symptoms that he was having. Slowing down and itching and having bad breath, losing interest in playtime. That is just part of the aging process, but it doesn't have to be. And after just a few weeks of Rough Greens, we start to see a real difference. This stuff is truly amazing. And if you have a dog you love, you've got to try Rough Greens for your dog for life.
