Episode Description from the Publisher

Is U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz partially responsible for the midterm cycle turning into a potential disaster for Republicans? In this special edition of the Texas Take, host Jeremy Wallace sits down with Cruz to discuss how his push for President Donald Trump to launch strikes on Iran in February has set the stage for high gas prices and an ongoing conflict looming over the November elections. Cruz also talks about his push to reshape college sports and his new book on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He explains what drew him to Thomas’s story and why, despite his own deep ties to the court, he has no interest in becoming a justice. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
