    Absolutely love Senator Cruz and hearing about all the courageous work he is doing in the senate, but please stop adding Ben’s podcast and others on the in-between days. I just want to hear Verdict.

  • Let Ted Talk!

    The podcast shouldn’t be about Ben. He is a cheerleader that takes it to a more partisan level. Let Ted talk about the issues and the bills that are coming up in Congress

  • Sorry Ted

    I used to like you until it became clear you are bought and paid for by Israel. When I saw your pathetic exchange regarding the Bible with Tucker , that was it for me. Your are a fraud and a horrible human being.
