This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human. Welcome. It is Vertical Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you as well. And if you're listening on the radio, it's so nice to have you with us all over the country. And Senator, we've got a big show. We've got a lot to talk about, including election night in America. You've got big movements at the Department of Homeland Security and some really interesting news that deals with Iran. Well, we're going to start with Iran, what is happening in the military conflict with Iran. America is having incredible success taking out Iran's military forces, their ability to use missiles and drones to murder their neighbors, to murder Americans. We're going to break down exactly where things stand and where they're likely to go.
We're also going to do some analysis of, in particular, the impact that cutting off the flow of oil from Iran and from Venezuela is having on China, which is one of the most significant consequences of what's unfolding. We're going to break that down for you. We're going to talk in addition about the big news that broke this week, which is that we're going to have a new secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. President Trump announced that Kristi Noem is no longer going to be the secretary of DHS and in her place is going to be Mark Wayne Mullen, the center from Oklahoma. We're going to talk about why that happened and what to expect next. And finally, we're going to talk about the elections that happened this week, in particular the elections in Texas.
We had big elections in Texas, lots of things going on, some real risks in terms of the Democrats wanting to flip Texas blue. We're going to talk about how likely that is and what to expect. I want to talk to you real quick about the markets. They've been going crazy.

All right, Senator, so let's talk about where we are with Iran.
I got to say, I am incredibly impressed with the Trump administration, the Department of War and just the leadership and the bravery, but also the planning. Like it is really incredible to see just how powerful, how accurate. And and how good our intelligence has been, obviously, sharing Israel back and forth intelligence, taking out not just the Ayatollah, but virtually everyone around him at this point. That is a job you don't want, by the way, because every time they keep naming a new person, we take them out within minutes, if not hours of them being named to their new job. This is a big display of what America can do. Well, there's no doubt that our military has been incredibly effective. You know, I will say as we're now just about a week into the attack on Iran, there are people who are asking, what is our objective?
And it has been less than transparently clear to a fair number of folks what it is we're trying to accomplish. I want to be very clear what it is that we're trying to accomplish. Iran is a profound national security threat to the United States. The regime in Iran for 47 years has been the number one state funder of terrorism in the world.
