What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart podcast, guaranteed human.
Welcome to the special snow baguette inversion of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
What recent events have escalated tensions in Minneapolis?
And there's a lot of you that are listening that I know are dealing with the insanity of the freezing rain and the snow. I hope you're enjoying it with your kids, making some memories, but it's a lot going on, Senator.
How do ICE confrontations in Minneapolis compare to those in Texas?
So for everybody out there that is listening, God bless you. Stay warm.
What advice is given regarding encounters with law enforcement?
Well, stay warm and stay safe. There are power outages across the country.
How are media narratives influencing public perception of ICE?
There is snow and ice across about half of the country. The state of Texas is largely engulfed in the winter storm.
What are the implications of a potential government shutdown?
There's snow and ice up north. You and I, Ben, are both in Houston right now.
How are Democrats using the Minneapolis situation for political gain?
Houston's still in the 30s, so we haven't had snow or ice. Supposed to drop to the 20s tonight.
What strategies are being discussed to address the chaos in Minneapolis?
And, look, my counsel to everyone is stay safe. If you don't need to be on icy roads, don't go out on icy roads. Take some time and be home with the kids. Keep your family safe. It's a good excuse to do something with your kids. Do something with your wife or your husband. And just don't take any unnecessary travel right now. Stay safe and make sure you keep your family safe.
By the way, Senator, have you played this game called Mahjong yet? No. Do I look like a 90-year-old woman? Okay. This is what happens. See, you come up with this idea. Spend time with your family. Play games. And I got suckered into my first ever game of Mahjong. I literally wanted to beat my head against it. So if it's offered to you, run is what I'm trying to tell you. I barely made it through a game. It was like watching paint dry but more painful.
So, Ben, I'm actually male, so no, I have not played that game.
I told you, I got suckered into it. This is what happens.
It's like, oh, let's play games. I did this week play a game called poker. You may have heard of it. It's something that men do when they gather.
I also got in trouble. This is what happens, okay? I'm glad you brought that up. I got in trouble for teaching my twins who are six and my nine-year-old how to play Texas Hold'em with chips. I was like, we're not playing for money. We're just playing for chips. I got in trouble. Therefore, I got punished with Mahjong. So it's full circle. I'm glad that you figured that out there.
You're failing as a father. I literally have a poker chip right here. Do you see this? There it is. If you don't teach your boys to play poker, you are failing as a father.
Thank you. I'm going to quote you on that as my rebuttal later on.
I'm not sure that will get you out of any trouble at all.
All I know is whoever made Mahjong, I want to get in a bar fight with them. I just want to be on the record for that. It may be the dumbest game I've ever played. Come at me on the comments.
I think it's like a 2000 year old Chinese woman.
Yeah, I believe. And if I found her, it may be the first I'd ever even think about hitting a woman. I just want to. That's how much I hate this game. I just I'll be on the record. I'm fine with that. You can come at me in the comments section.
I'm just saying if the 2000 year old Chinese woman happens to be alive, I'm not sure you want to fight her because there's a zombie action going on.
That's true. I'll be throwing poker chips at her. I like it. All right, we got a lot to talk about on today's show, and you've been warned, men out there, about Mahjong. Don't take the bait. I don't care how cold it is or how long the power's off or how close the Mahjong table is to the fireplace. Don't take the bait. I want to take a quick moment and talk to you about an incredible organization, and it is called Compassion International and how you can get involved. I want you to just pause what you're doing for the next 60 seconds. And I want you to imagine Lucy, a seven-year-old. Her stomach often aches with hunger. Her small hands, instead of holding crayons, know only the struggle of survival on dusty streets.
School is a distant dream. Medical care, a forgotten hope. Lucy's potential is overshadowed. Her future is dim. But what if someone stepped in?
