It's Friday, May 16th.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day,
the show that stands with Texas Democrats and sports fans who want to ban Republican Senator Ted Cruz from college playoff events.
Because when Ted Cruz is in attendance, Texas teams tend to lose.
To quote a Democratic party official, the nine scariest words for any college fan to hear are,
I'm Ted Cruz, and I'm coming to your game.
Now, as a good journalist, I reached out to the Cruz team.
Via a spokesperson, I received the following response.
The senator has been attending Texas sports games his entire life.
When they win, he's there.
When they lose, he's there.
Okay.
On today's show,
the Supreme Court appears torn over the enforcement of President Donald Trump's order to end birthright citizenship.
And Walmart says it's going to have to raise prices soon because of Trump's tariffs.
But let's start with the president's trip to the Middle East.
On Thursday, Trump started his day in Qatar before flying to the United Arab Emirates,
the last stop on his trip.
While in Qatar,
Trump visited the United States' largest army base in the Middle East in Doha and took part in a business roundtable.
