And that becomes the plane that we know today. And he calls her a genius. Check out our new episode Spotlighting groundbreaking innovators like Hetty Lamar and Billy Jean King, presented by the Hyundai Ionic Five. Goodbye . Welcome it is Verdic with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you as well, Senator, we've got a big election night in America and the Socialist Marxist communists in New York , they're celebrating right now as we're recording. Well, it is election night in America, and we've got disparate results. We have number one , socialist and left wing radicals winning in New York , and we have number two in South Carolina, strong conservatives winning in South Carolina. We're going to break those down and what that means, what's happening in elections right now. We're also going to talk to you about a shocking and disturbing decision from a radical left wing judge appointed by Joe Biden who just struck down the Trump administration's using a federal database to stop illegal aliens from voting in federal elections. This is a ridiculous decision. We're going to give you the facts behind it. Also, I want to talk to you real quick about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and the work that's being done right now to help so many in need still in Israel From America's Revolutionary War to Israel's fight for survival in nineteen forty eight, both nations have faced moments that tested their courage, yet freedom endured. In October of nineteen eighty five , President Ronald Reagan delivered these remarks about America's commitment to stand with Israel. In our talks, we paid special attention to two issues our commitment to Israel's security and well being , and our shared desire to move forward together toward a just and lasting peace between Israel and all its Arab neighbors. A strong, secure Israel is a shared interest . As America celebrates its two hundred fiftieth anniversary, the International Fellowship of Christians and J ews reflects on the friendship between the United States and Israel , two democracies built on faith, liberty and hope.

You're heavily involved in the one that's happening right now. You got into some races. We're going to talk about those in a second. But I want to talk about the takeaway of what we're witnessing in New York City. Mandani went out there endorsed some people and he got all them elected. He's very excited about this. This is full communism and socialism combined with some Marxism. It is flourishing in New York What is your takeaway from this? It is really shocking to see how quick America, one of America's greatest cities is going to fall . Look, it is tragic, but the Democrat Party has lost its ever loving mind . In the age of Trump, they hate Trump so much. You know, there used to be moderate Democrats. There used to be Democrats who could see reason who could find common ground . Today's election is the latest illustration that the base of the Democrat Party is radical. It is socialist, it is Marxist, it is extreme . And so we had today three primary victories for the socialists. This is not me calling them socialist . They call themselves socialists. So you had number one, and all of these were pushed by Comrade Mandami . Yeah. Number one, Brad Lander, who was the city's comproller defeated incumbent representative Dan Goldman. Now look, Dan Goldman was a left wing Democrat , but he was not totally insane . It turns out Democrat primary voters want totally insane. And so they just threw him out of office. Beyond that , Dari Liza Avila Chevalier bested representative Ariano Espilat in the thirteenth district, which is upper Manhattan in parts of the Bronx . So again, an incumbent beaten by an open socialist Marxist lunatics. And then the third Mandami endorsed candidate, Claire Valdez won the primary for an open house seat representing the seventh district, which includes neighbor hoods in Brooklyn and Queens, and the incumbent Nidia Valasquez is currently represents the district is not seeking reelection. And the Democrat Socialists of America back, Chevalier and Valdez . Now this is this is the reality of where the Democrat Party is. And understand this is not just this is not just New York, although New York is ground zero for this. You want to know who represents the heart of the Democrat Party today ? It is Mandami, it is Bernie Sanders , it is AOC, it is Ilhan Omar. And the results tonight with three socialist victories in the Democrat primaries in New York is every Democrat in Congress, they're already terrified of the radical left . They will now be more terrified of the radical left. And I'm going to repeat a prediction that I made several months ago in this podcast . I believe in twenty twenty eight , the top two Democrat frontrunners for pres ident are Gavin Newsom and AOC. I believe AOC will run for president and she will be a top tier candidate because that's where the base of the party is. By the way, the charter member of the A OC for President Committee will be Chuck Schumer , who is utterly, utterly terrified that AOC will primary him and beat him in a Democrat primary. But here's my second prediction which I' madeve before, but I want to repeat . AOC will run for president and Mandami is going to run against Chuck Schumer for the Senate and Mandami will beat Chuck Schumer for the Senate. Both of those predictions like this . I think he didn' taket them to the bank I like this prediction. By the way, you go back to the to how radical the Democrats are, especially in New York. Let me stop and say one of the things about this podcast. Yes. We're usually pretty . Yeah, I make sure there's lots of predictions. And I make bold aggressive, I don't know anyone. There are some people saying AOC is going to run for president. I have not heard anyone say Mandami's going to run for Senate and beat Schumer. I believe that's right. To be clear on this podcast , we predicted a year before Joe Biden dropped out of the race that Joe Biden was going to drop out of the race. We predicted that . We also in the height of COVID , we laid out the fact s that COVID escaped from a Chinese lab and likely was manufactured a Chinese lab at the time that that was being suppressed all over the place. So I will say we don't get every prediction right, but look, you know, you take no risks and you get no reward . I don't know that that's right, but when people on the record cruise do this podcast and I said it's 'cause he likes doing predictions. Like he just like this is this is where he gets to take the jacket off and be like, all right, here's I get to geek out on this in a great way and this is my prediction. So it is and by the way by the way if I'm wrong , we'll play this segment and I'll admit it. So if that doesn't happen . I'll be like, all right , look, I don't bat a thousand . You know , Ted Williams and Ty Cobb didn't bat a thousand. If you bat four hundred, you're doing pretty damn well and we bat north of four hundred . It ain't a thousand . But just want to be clear, that's Hall of Fame numbers. Yeah . So so but look, that's that's part of what makes this, I hope makes this podcast interesting is we could say the, well, we don't know what's going to happen, so something will happen and we'll tell you after it happens. But we don't do that. We actually like say, all right, here's my best judgment. And you know, I've done this a little while and know a little bit about it. Yeah. All right, you go back to the local elections in New York and you and I have a good friend Larry Cudalow. We were talking about this. He's there in New York and I was on his show. We were talking about this election, what this means. And I said, if Mandani's guys win , what this means is it's open season on capitalism and success . It is open season on these are the same people that Haiti Elon Musk and want to confiscate all his wealth. Right, correct. That is the heart of the Democratic Party . D Eemvery otherocrat is terrified. By the way, Dan Goldman , was about as mainstream a Democrat as you could have. And he is now roadkill because the radical left said that 's not enough . By the way, we are also very quickly heading to a world. I believe we're maybe a couple years away from a world where zero Democrats will accept a dollar from APAC . And that's a big shift. Look, when I showed up in Congress , APAC, which is the American Israeli political action committee are Americans . Most of them are Jewish. They support a strong American Israel relationship . And they're assiduously bipartisan, obsessively bipartisan. Many of the leaders of check to Ted Cruz are going to check to Chuck Schumer. That's how bipartisan they are. Right. Many of the leaders of APAC, most of the leaders of APAC have been Democrats . And we're facing a world where if you look at these incumbents that were beaten, one of the major reasons they were beaten is that they had taken they'd been willing to accept funds from Americans. By the way, look, this effort to stigmatize APAC , I believe it's actually an effort to drive Jews out of public life to say if you're American and you're Jewish , you're contribut ion to a candidate is unacceptable . And we are really, really close to every single Democrat saying, I don't accept APAC funds. And by the way, that puts APAC in a position where they they are not a Republican organization at all . And yet the Democrat did so very quickly . It is but by the way, Dan Goldman, I don't know if you watched online . He went the past couple of days to a coffee shop in New York in his district. He was there with his seven year old daughter to a coffee shop. He bought a nine dollar coffee because it's New York. That's how much a cup of coffee costs is nine dollars . And the coffee shop, I think it was like called Poetic or something like that . They saw that he was there afterwards and they said, You're an Israel loving A,PAC accept ing, genocide support ing Nut . And so they refunded him as nine dollars and said, We won't take your money . So there's so much hate that this lefty w oke coffee shop said by the way, you bought the coffee and drank it, but we're returning your money because we hate you . We hate Israel and really what they're saying. We hate Jews so much that your money is not acceptable in our shop . That's where the Democrat Party is right now. Yeah, and I think this is I think what we learn from this election New York Tonight is this . This is going to be a large portion, as you mentioned earlier, of what the presidential Democratic primary is going to look like . There is now a not just space on the main . I'm going to make it another prediction center of the stage for communism. Yes, I'm going to make another prediction. So in a normal world , one of the frontrunners for the Democrat presidential primary would be Josh Shapiro. Yeah. Josh Shapiro is the incumbent governor of Pennsylvan ia, the largest swing state in America. He is perceived as a relatively moderate, successful, popular governor. Shapiro, in any normal sane world would have been Kamala Harris's natural choice as VP . Yeah , because if she wins Pennsylvania, her chances of winning the presidential rise dramatically. Obviously, Shapiro did not get the nod. I believe if Josh Shapiro's name were Josh Smith . He would have been the VP nominee. It would have been Harris Smith . Kamala refused to pick him because he was Jewish. I think in the Democrat Party, being Jewish is now a disqualifier. You are not acceptable. And so another prediction, Josh Shapiro probably runs . By the way, Andy Mashir, the governor of Kentucky , I think he's going to run a general stage in a general someone like an Andy Mashir , if he were the nominee could be formidable. He's a Bill Clinton type character, elected in a red state, perceived as moderate. I think Shapiro and Bashir have zero chance, zero point zero chance of being the Democrat nominee because they don't want moderate, they don't want reasonable . They want full on foam coming out of the mouth , Israel hating, America hating Marxist . That's where their party is.

Find a beginner class near you at try fencing dot org that's try fencing dot org Let's talk about a South Carolina . South Carolina also a very important state. You got involved, not just a little bit, you went all in South Carolina for a couple of different candidates. Explain what happened there and your endorsements clearly meant something. Yeah. And let me step back , let me step back ten days ago . So ten days ago I made a couple of endorsements in two big races, the Georgia Gubernatorial Race and the South Carolina Gubernatorial Race in Georgia , I endorsed Rick Jackson and in South Carolina, I endorsed Alan Wilson . Now, it so happened, this was not by design, but it happened that President Trump had endorsed against both of those candidates . Now, now listen, if you make an endorsement in a Republican primary and the president is on the other side , that is inherently bumpy, that is inherently challenging. In both races, President Trump had made the endorsements really early. In Georgia , he had endorsed the Lieutenant Governor early before Rick Jackson was even in the race. And so he didn't know that Jackson was running . But he had made those endorsements a while ago. I looked at both races . And I have a philosophy in terms of making endorsements in races, which is I endorse the most conservative candidate who can win. And I'm interested in both. Give me a proven record that you're a real conservative and show me a path to victory. This is not we're not playing around. We're not playing a game. We're trying to save Americ a. So I want to see how you can win and give me the best evidence that you're going to be a real conservative in office. Rick Jackson, we talked about this on an earlier podcast . An amazing personal story grew up in the projects in Atlanta in utter poverty, raised by a single mom who faced serious substance abuse issues. He ran away from home. He ended up in foster care. He had five different foster families . He started with every disadvantage, nothing , and he ended up building this amazing business. He's worth several billion dollars. It is an incredible story. It's an American success story. And he has also been incredibly charitable in particular taking care of foster kids in Georgia because he came from that environment, doing things like covering their expenses in college. He's also been incredibly generous to college to Christian ministries. He funds a Christian orphanage in China . I'm told the only orphanage in China that is actually allowed to preach the gospel to the kids. That's incredible . And so I looked at him and I said, listen , this guy is going to be a real conservative. He's pledging to abolish the income tax in Georgia . And he is an incredible general election c andidate. This he's already put one hundred million dollars of his own money into the primary , and he's going to put at least that into the general. And so my view was this guy can win the general, but not only that with Rick Jackson as the nominee in Georgia, I think our chances of winning the Senate seat in Georgia go way up because if he puts another hundred million into the general, if he's got a huge turnout operation, if he's telling an inspirational story that wins c rossover votes in Atlanta . That's how you win not just the gubernatorial race but the Senate race. So I endorsed him . And I will tell you after I endorsed him, Donald Trump junior endorsed him the day before the election . I was encouraged by that. And I think that was a statement that that was done with the blessings of the White House . I went a week ago Monday and campaigned with Rick just outside Atlanta had a big rally and Rick ends up winning then this week Alan Wilson same dynamic, Alan President Trump early on had endorsed the Lieutenant Governor . Yeah . I don't know the Lieutenant Governor. I have no issues against her. I've said nothing negative about her . But I've known Allen for more than a decade. He's the sitting attorney general when he was elected, he was the youngest attorney general in the country. He's been reelected repeatedly. He has a strong conservative record over and over and over again . And so as I look at the two candidates, I think Alan clearly had the stronger conservative record . And so I endorsed him. And by the way, at the time I endorsed him , it was not at all clear what was going to happen. Well, I'm very happy to say that after I endorsed him shortly thereafter , President Trump came out and endorsed him as well. So he'd endorsed both candidates. And I'm grateful for that. And the reporters all tried to make this into a thing. Well, gosh, aren't you endorsing against Trump? It isn't that like a thing? And I sort of laughed. I said, listen, I've spent a decade as President Trump's strongest ally in the Senate. I'm proud to be so. I think President Trump has been an extraordinary president . And he and I agree on the vast majority of races. The overwhelming majority of races he and I are on exactly the same side . Yeah . It so happens in these two races. I got involved much later than he did . And at the st age in the race where I got involved, I thought there was a clear difference. And I thought Rick and I thought Alan were the two stronger candidates. What ended up happening, look, once I endorsed, President Trump endors ed, and then actually Tim Scott endorsed Allen as well . And he ended up winning by okay, we're sitting here right now. It is eleven fifty eight . Let me look at the numbers as of right now , as of right now , with ninety nine percent of the vote in Allen has sixty eight point six percent in a hisvet opp,onent has thirty one point four percent . That's a beat down just for just for people that don't know that's a beat down in politics. A twenty seven point victory listen that's a beat down I actually think it has some similar dynamics to the Paxton Cornin race in Texas where I think Paxton was likely going to win the runoff all of the numbers I'd seen showed him about eight to twelve point s up . So I think he was likely to win. And then at the end, President Trump endorsed Paxton and he won by twenty eight points. And I actually talked to the president and I said, look, I think your endorsement was worth about twenty points. So I mean it, had a impact. It turned what was going to be a victory into a blowout . And I think in South Carolina, the President's endorsement did the same thing. I think Allen was going to win . And it may have been in that same range . I'm less confident, but my guess is the sort of eight to twelve point range is where he was . And when the president came in, it again was worth about twenty points and drove it up to twenty seven points. So that ook, I think that is a good outcome . And I think it's important you and I care deeply about the elections in November. Part of the way we have a good election day is nominating the strongest candid who have the most conservative record, but also have a path to victory. And I think in both Georgia and South Carolina, that's exactly what we did. Yeah, no, it absolutely is. I want to get to this other issue and that's the election database actors judges and a shocking really it came out. But before we get to that center, I just have to tell you something funny that happened today. So you know there's a new Air Force One, right? I do. You know that, right? Now, here's the thing that matters. You've not been on that Air Force one, correct? I want to make sense that very clear. I have not. Is it flying yet? It's flying. So my kids fly the new one is in the air. It's in the air from the report I saw on TV earlier I believe you, I just hadn't seen that. So it was on TV. The kids look at me and they're like, Hey, dad, have you ever been on an Air Force One, I'm like, I have. And they're like, Well, have you been on the new one? I'm like, No, it just started. Like that's why that's on the news today. Like you're dealing with seven to nine and they're like, you know, figuring it out and I'm like, No, and they're like, they look at me. They're like, well, has Senator Cruz is like, no, he hasn't either. So actually I just didn't know it was this moment in time, you and I are the same. We've both been on the old Air Force One, neither of us have been on the new Air Force One. I just want to make that very clear for all the kids out there. We're on the same right now. Okay. So I just want I want to clarify that Ben that will . What you are saying is on the tennis court, you and I are the same . That's that's what I heard. I just want to throw that bit of humor out there because I don't know I admit I think you and I are equally matched at tennis. Never mind that you were a division one varsity tennis player and I like can barely hit the ball, but I heard say the game. When was the first year you were ever on Air Force One? Because I think I'm gonna beat you in this one? Of course you are because you were on with Bush. I was never wr withong Bush. Okay, so there you go. So I got the longest tenure of being on an Air Force one. I'm loving this game right now. I'll tell the kids in the morning. I like that. Now I was on the court. I'm not going to say how many times have you been on? That would change the scale obviously. I was on the campaign plane with Bush in nineteen ninety nine. So I beat you on the campaign plane. You do. You beat . But I never rode on the Air Force One with Bush. Have you been I have not done Marine One. I have Marine One Envy, I really do. I've done the Beast a bunch of times and the Beast is really cool, but Marine One, I want to get on Marine One and I just haven't been on it. Look, first time I went on Air Force One, I mean, listen, during most of Bush's presidency, I was back in Texas. I was the SG of Texas. So you were in the White House while I was back , you know, actually in the heart of America and hold on, lightning's about to go. I've got to dodge these bullets coming in here, man. We lose a connection here. All right. Do you wanna hear the even more depressing thing? Do you remember the first time I went on Air Force One? Yeah, I'm ready. That was like he was Barack Obama. No . Yeah. That's a fuzz kill. I got elected to the Senate in twenty twelve, and so Obama was president and I think I believe the first time I was on Air Force One we went back to Dallas. Do you remember when five police officers were shot in a horrible mass shooting by this Black Lives Matter radical s . And Obama, the White House, said, Hey, Obama came back to speak at the funeral and he offered for me to ride on the plane. I'm like, yeah, sure. And I was coming to funeral and oddly enough, he seated me next to Nancy Pelosi. And it's the first time I'd met Nancy Pelosi, like you actually think like these folks in Washington all hang out together. Do you know I've never met AOC? I've never met Ilhan Omar . I've never met Hillary Clinton. I mean, that your blessings, by the way, on that one. Count your blessings. I've met two of the three in the green in green rooms at TV. Count your blessings. So I will say like Pelosi, and this is the only time I really met her, but she and I were seated next to each other for a three hour flight, and she was very pleasant and gracious. To her credit, we were talking and she's got a child that lives in Houston and grandkids that are in Texas , and we were talking about family. Obviously, we agree on very little substantively, but it was to her credit, she could be a nice, gracious civil person, which I didn't know. And it was interesting. Obama, the entire flight did not come out of his office at all. He came out for like two minutes at the end of the flight and he was so aloof . Whereas Trump, and I've been on Air Force One a ton with Trump . Trump like hangs out with you for hours and you just like and you could get a lot of work himself off. Yeah, he does not separate himself off and he's going nonstop and you're going and I'll typically bring like three or four note cards in my pocket of issues that I want to raise with the president because like being on Air Force One can be really productive and you can raise issues and get things done . But the contrast, like Obama was so aloof that he didn't use that time, but I have not been on the new Air Force One. Now, do you know what Trump said the first time I was on Air Force One with him? What'd he say? So this was like, I think March of twenty seventeen, so just a couple months into the presidency, and he and I remember if only I wouldn't have been born, you could have been on this plane and be you as president. That's when I would that would have the line I would have just imagine. Yeah, I just line. If I was Trump, I would have like, been man, just imagine if I wasn't born, this would be your plane right now. That would have been my life. You're a much meaner guy than Donald Trump . So I'm on the plane with him. And it's like pretty cool. I think it was the second time I'd been on Air Force One. So I'm like geeking out and I'm looking around and I said nice nice plane, Mr. President . And his immediate response is he said, Yeah, my old one was nicer . And then my response was , yeah, but it didn't have missiles , which he laughed at . But I will say I have also been on Trump's personal plane, and he's not wrong. His personal plane is nicer than the old Air Force One. The Qatari one may be nicer than both of them. I assume I'll probably be honored at some point. And so when I get on it, I'll give you a report. Give me a report. Well, I can't wait to see the new one looks amazing. That's why that's why it was it was a funny topic because they were like, have you been on like, I've not been on that? No, I've not. When I do, I promise the boy that said when I get on there, I will bring you back the M and M's because that is a true sign you've been on Air Force One. Okay, by the way, the Eminem's thing, like members of Congress will I got it right here. So that's the box. Like the presidential by the way, the EMS have the president's signature on it. Yeah. So there's the EM and M. And then there's his famous signature there . And by the way, Trump makes very good use of Air Force One. He puts people on and he like whips votes and he uses it. One of the things I was grateful was Obama was so damn aloof and arrogant that he didn't actually use Air Force One. He could have accomplished much more damage to America if he would just woo house members or senators Democratic senators , he never used the House and Senate to his advantage at all when he became president. He thought he was above everyone. Democrat senators privately when Obama was president would bitch nonstop that he wouldn't talk to them. He ignored them, that they were they were barely people . Yeah. And it's to Trump's credit . Look, Trump spends a ton of time . If I call Trump, he either answers or he calls back usually within the day . And that's true of most senators . That's true of many House members. I mean, he spends hours a day on the phone. I try not to abuse that by the way. I mean, I end up talking to him probably once a week, but it's funny my staff is like, oh, you ought to call the president more often. And I'm like, I don't want to bother the guy. Like when I call him the United States of America, yeah. Yeah, he's got a lot of demands on his time. So I don't call him just to like shoot the breeze and be like, you know, aren't I cool? I call him when there's like a topic that I need a decision, that I need something , but it's it is his responsiveness is actually phenomenal and unlike certainly unlike any president I've ever known . And that is one of the keys of his strength . You look at something like the working families tax cut, also called the One Big Beautiful Bill. Yeah . There were tons of House members and senators voting no and Trump just spent a ton of time , sometimes with honey, sometimes with vinegar, sometimes just , you know , being nice and conjoling and other times just taking a two by four to them. But it's how he got the votes and it's very, very potent like one box of M and Ms get you the vote you need and and Trump is a lot of eminent . All right, I want to take a moment. I want to talk to you for just second, honestly, about how an act of compassion really feels. A few years ago I made the choice to partner with compassion or national to sponsor a child who is in desperate need. Now it was a great idea, right?
