[applause] well, it is a great privilege to be a part of the federalist society, and to be participating in the barbara olson traditional lecture. on a clear and sunny september 11 20 years ago, the world we had been living crumbled and time seemed to come to a stop. unlike december 7, 1941, when the full force of japan's air force launched a surprise attack on a faraway navy base, this time, a mere 19 individual zealots armed with hate and with little more than box cutters executed a massive, coordinated, and crippling attack on our people, our government, and our institutions. they exploded hijacked commercial airliners packed with civilian passengers into america's commercial base in new york city, and the nerve center of our defense establishment at the pentagon, a few miles from here. had it not been for

ted: demand is high.re seeing is -- our approach was we do eight different styles of transit. if you need a cable vent or something, you need to get a parking structure, we offer those, a delivery van, all different sizes and roof heights so we can cover many locations. there is a lot of talk out there, but it has been big customers and primarily delivery, which is only 10% of the van business. we are seeing interest in all sizes. that is why in the electric space, different than internal combustion, just getting the vehicle is not enough. you have to have a charging plan. you have to have a battery to get range. that is why you need more. guy: how much do these businesses drive? what is the range of the transit? i appreciate that is going to be variable depending on conditions, but what kind of capacity do they need in terms of their daily business? ted: that is a good question. in north america, the average guy for internal combustion drives about 74 miles a day. in f-150, commercial applications -- you

ted: -- in the year to come? ted: yes, we are closing in on $1 trillion in 2021.e a better than 50% on last year. we see that continuing well into 2022. emily: what about those that fail? there was a bloomberg report that paypal tried to buy pinte rest. there is nvidia, which has not happened yet. ted: some deals will not happen, even when announced. there are regulatory questions. transactions around zoom and 5-9 was a transactional one. there was a vote from shareholders on both sides. even when you take all of those in total relative to the amount of deals that got done, it is a small percentage. this has been a welcoming environment for m&a. that is likely the case in 2022. emily: what is welcoming about it and why do you expect those trends to continue? ted: there is a tremendous amount of capital available at the corporate level and in private equity firms that have come to play a significant role in the m&a landscape, the technology space. we continue to consolidate portfolios around larger and larger transactions. they are keeping companies in their portfo

ted: i think we'll continue to see that.hink the largest company, the ones we've mentioned here are going to find it more difficult to get marge m&a deals done. they've always taken the approach of asking for forgiveness, rather than permission on those things, and i think we'll continue to see that, but i think they're mindle of the current stance of the biden administration. i think we'll see some of the m&a they want to do they may not be able to from a regulatory perspective. i think that'll be tougher for the largest companies but for the vast majority of the companies, we don't see the current stance from the biden administration being punitive at all. emily: all right. ted smith, appreciate you taking the time. we'll see if your predictions ring true. coming up, from engineer to c.e.o. we speak to the c.e.o offing ona about the recent rise of c.t.o.'s turned c.e.o.'s next. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> in china, we're probably looking at probably slowdown which is mostly motivated by the huge mobility from region to region.

ted, let's start with you. give me your thoughts on this verdict. >> well, i got to tell you, the first thing i believe is that an officer of the court, lawyer, that we always should respect the decision of a jury. but when i look at this case, i have to as an individual ask, did they get this case right? what we found here was officer potter, yes a 26-year veteran, but the question is, was she actually acting recklessly? that would be count one. for count two, was she culpably negligent? where there was this unreasonable risk of harm that caused the death, great bodily harm to duante wright. those were question marks that i had in my mind. i am deeply concerned about this verdict and wondering if there was some residue from the case in minneapolis, minnesota of george floyd that was piled on here in the case of officer potter. >> so ted, you think the jury got it wrong in this case? >> i believe that they did. i respect their decision. i do believe that they did. look -- >> okay. hold your thoughts a second, t

but asking about ted cruz. senator ted cruz, your colleague.the presidency. and he quoted, and i will quote directly absolutely in a heartbeat. and then he said later that historically get the runner up in one convention becomes the nominee and the other convention. the reason i ask you about that as i think that is the clearest and most aggressive statement that anybody who could answer the primary would say. what do you think about that? >> yes, the tradition over the decades of the republican party is the presidential nominees options are to be the heir apparent. bob dole, george bush or whatnot. but donald trump sort of blew up that whole system when he became the nominee and then our president of the united states. i'm not so sure that that tradition won't be restored. that being said, i would be shocked if ted cruz did not run again, as well as your first guess, every time i think to mike pompeo, i think gosh, maybe he would be a great president someday. so we have the richness in our party of having a bench of modern talented people with

ted, we see their pictures on the screen.rough your mind as you put that together as i just laid it out? >> you know what goes through my mind, martha? we've gone to the holiday season and four young people who had a promising life has been snuffed out. the system, an entire system has failed these young people. and i -- i cannot -- just think about what is going through the minds and the hearts of these family members who are here saying that their loved one, their child, their child, we sent that child off to school, we expected that child would get an education, we expected that -- the door of our house would open that afternoon and that we would be able to embrace and tell that child that we love them. now, now we're having to bury our own children. all because of grownups, grownups in a system that failed. >> martha: ted, thank you. thank you very much. i'd like to bring in constitutional attorney and former high school teacher, leo terrell. he joins me now. a fox news contributor. in the control room, if we have the vid

ted, let me start with you.there a bit of a disconnect with the president touting the economy with record high inflation and out of control virus, immigrants flooding the border and we're still dealing with the fallout from afghanistan? >> yeah, like your one tweet had that he is trying to gas light the american people, i hope he does run on this because inflation is at a 40-year high at 6.8%. you have automobile prices at a 33% increase, you have gas prices higher. knowable by the american people. they aren't stupid people. the more this administration tries to gas light them the more they'll push back against this administration and you just can't cover it up when consumer prices are going through the roof. >> let's take a look at some recent polls. the real clear politics average puts biden's popularity at 43%. he started his presidency in the mid 50s and a recent fox business poll found that 70% of people thought 2021 was a bad year. 54% say they are not hopeful for the country. laura, to be fair the "wall s

ted, good to have you back. now being taken to frantically adjust these crime spikes and whether they're enough right now. >> well, thanks for having me on, neil. i'd like to be the bearer of good news but i have to be the bearer of bad news. we're at war when it comes to crime and criminals. the sad commentary, neil, is that we're losing that war. when we look from new york to california, we can see, if you're in a store, you're looking at somebody smashing and grabbing and taking merchandise, if you're driving your car down the road, you're looking at individuals that can carjack you. homicides are up. if you go in chicago and you're there for any weekend and they're not over 50 crimes or 50 homicides, you're not in chicago, sadly. so all of these things are out there and being driven. what we need to look at is how the transition should take place what we need are prosecutors and judges to get together in these courts and to be more proactive than reactive when it comes to crime. >> neil: but they're not. the

joining us now texas senator ted cruz. senator, great to have you back on.abc radio looked at 13 u.s. cities with district attorneys bankrolled by george soros' northern profits. all of these cities show rising homicides. your reaction to that? >> well, unfortunately that is not surprising. soros has funded putting extreme left-wing district attorneys in office, helping them get elected across the country and these extreme left-wing d.a.s when they get in office refuse to prosecute crimes. in fact they deliberately undermine the criminal justice system and as the stats you're airing are showing, we're seeing murder rates, seeing crime rates rising across the country. across the entire country last year, murder rates rose 30% across the country. that is the highest one year increase in murder rates in over one one years. it is when you have democratic politicians arguing for abolishing the police, undermining the cops and when d.a.s are refusing to prosecute crimes, the result, shock of nobody, more crimes, more murders. elizabeth: chicago, jackson mississipp
