Senator Ted Cruz 1:58
Well, this week was a consequential week. Indeed, I think this week was an historic week, a week that generations will look back that what happened this week changed the future of America. We're going to break that down for you. But first, I have to point out one of the reasons it was consequential is one young Benjamin Ferguson lost his wager to me. In the last podcast, Ben boldly declared that Graham Platner was not going to step down before the deadline to replace him. Yes. And he was confident about it. He wanted to put a wager. He wanted Mexican food. He wanted margaritas. He agreed to top shelf. And I got to say, I actually felt guilty. It felt like... Did you have insider information on this bet?
Ben Ferguson 2:45
Is that what you're now coming clean about?
Senator Ted Cruz 2:47
It felt like taking candy from a baby. It felt like beating a Nazi communist in an election. Here's the simple reality, Ben. Commie is going to commie. So we're going to come back to that in a minute. But just understand that our co-host, sadly, is, I think the technical term is a loser. A loser, yes.
Ben Ferguson 3:10
I knew that word. By the way, you didn't even make it 27 seconds before you started gloating. I would have had you at least at a minute. Yeah, you don't miss an opportunity.
Senator Ted Cruz 3:19
We got a pre-gloat at the front. But that is one reason this week is historic, but it's not the biggest reason. The biggest reason that this week is historic is on July 4th. on our nation's 250th birthday, the Trump accounts went live. The Trump accounts, the accounts, I wrote the legislation, I created this program. They are now live. They are investment accounts for every single child in America. And I believe they're going to have a profound impact. for the future of our kids as our kids are going to experience the miracle of compound growth and as our kids are going to become capitalists. We had an event this week in the Oval Office with President Trump. I was there. We're going to bring you inside that event with the president.
Senator Ted Cruz 4:05
We're going to tell you everything that was happening behind the scenes
