How did the House pass the $4.5 trillion tax cut bill?

Ben Ferguson 0:31
Welcome, it is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you as always. And Senator, it was a wild night last night in Washington, D.C. And the big headline is a $4.5 trillion tax cut has passed the House. It was touch and go. It's a slim majority in the House, but they got it done for the American people.
Senator Ted Cruz 0:52
Well, this is the first step. So you and I are recording this. It is 1220 in the morning, Tuesday night. The House had a touch and go vote on the floor of the House on whether to begin the first step of budget reconciliation. They ended up getting the votes by one vote. Initially, they put it on the floor of the House and it failed. Then they brought it back. President Trump was whipping the votes that were on the sidelines, and it passed by one vote. Now, this doesn't mean it's done, but it's the beginning of the process. We're going to break that down. We're going to explain what it means, what that is starting us on the path to do. We're also going to talk about the rather shocking news from this week about an IED that exploded in South Texas, blowing up a Texas rancher as the Mexican cartels are engaged in what you would have to call just open warfare at this point. IEDs you envision in Iraq, you envision in war zones, you don't envision them in the state of Texas. We're going to break that down.
Senator Ted Cruz 1:56
And finally, we're going to talk about the latest step in the battle over boys and girls sports, which is the Department of Justice is coming after the state of Maine, the state of California, and the state of Minnesota to comply with the federal law and Trump's executive order concerning boys and girls sports. And Maine and California and Minnesota are saying, hell no, we're going to break that down as well.
Ben Ferguson 2:20
Yeah, it's awesome. I got to tell you, today I did something that was just really fun, and it was to spend a little time at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Dallas, Texas, with my friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And I got to see just what their work looks like with some videos that I was shown, some pictures of the impact that so many of you are having by being involved with IFCJ and helping the people in Israel. After more than a year of war, terror, and pain in Israel, there is still a great demand for basic humanitarian aid. And that is where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has supported, and they continue to support those in the Holy Land still facing the lingering horrors of war and those who are in desperate need right now.
Ben Ferguson 3:08
Your ongoing monthly gift of $45 will provide critically needed aid to communities in the north and the south that have been devastated by the ongoing attacks against the Jewish people. Now, your generous donation each month helps deliver to those that are in need the most, including the evacuees and the refugees from all of these different war-torn areas.

What is the controversy over boys in girls' sports?

Ben Ferguson 3:31
There's also a lot of first responders and volunteers and wounded soldiers, even elderly Holocaust survivors that are in desperate need and you are helping them. That is why I just want to say, number one, thank you for getting involved and helping so many people in this great time of need and uncertainty. Your gift to bless Israel and her people, you can do that by visiting support.org. That's one word, support, ifcj.org. Or you can call them, 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-4325, or supportifcj.org. All right. So, Senator, it was an exciting and intense night on the floor of the House. It was the vote was on. It was off. You literally could physically see people on the floor taking phone calls, speaking on the phone.
