Summary
1. Allegations of DOJ/FBI Surveillance
- The Biden DOJ and FBI spied on Trump‑aligned individuals, including:
- Susie Wiles (Trump campaign figure)
- Kash Patel
- Allegations include secret subpoenas for phone records, including calls involving attorneys, raising concerns about attorney‑client privilege.
- This is part of a broader history of political weaponization of federal agencies.
- DOJ/FBI surveillance also targeted several Republican senators and conservative groups.
- This fits into what they describe as a long-standing trend starting under Obama.
- Comparisons are made to historical incidents such as the Steele Dossier, the Russia investigation, and alleged misuse of federal agencies.
2. Tale of Two Olympians
Alysa Liu
- Competed for the United States.
- Story highlighted as:
- Daughter of a refugee who fled China after Tiananmen Square.
- Target of Chinese government intimidation, according to the hosts.
- Won Olympic gold, portrayed as a patriotic American success story.
Eileen Gu
- Competed for China despite being raised in the U.S.
- Accepted substantial financial incentives (as stated by the hosts).
- Hosts argue that although she’s talented, choosing to compete for China invites criticism due to geopolitical tensions.
3. Concerns About Declining American Pride
- A Gallup poll is showing:
- Significant decline in Americans who are “very proud” of being American.
- The drop is described as steepest among Democrats, according to the data discussed.
- Commentary attributes this trend to:
- Cultural and educational shifts.
- University and K‑12 environments promoting negative views of the U.S.

| 0:05.3 | Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson, with you as well. |
| 0:09.2 | And it's so nice to have you with us. |
| 0:10.5 | If you're listening on the radio around the country, we've got a lot to talk about in today's show. |
| 0:15.8 | And Senator, I tell you what, it's a very interesting moment with this new breaking news that apparently there |
| 0:22.5 | was a lot of spying going on on people in and around Donald Trump, including the FBI |
| 0:27.3 | director Cash Patel. Well, just when you think the abuse of power from the Joe Biden Department |
| 0:33.6 | of Justice and FBI could not get worse, It gets worse. We now have evidence that the |
| 0:40.7 | Biden FBI spied upon, number one, Susie Wiles, who was then President Trump's campaign |
| 0:47.5 | manager, number two, Kash Patel, who is obviously now the director of the FBI. They spied on him |
| 0:53.2 | when he was a private citizen. We're going to break that down. It is part of a broader director of the FBI. They spied on him when he was a private citizen. We're going to break |

| 1:06.3 | they failed. Secondly, we're going to talk about a tale of two Olympians. We're going to talk about |
| 1:12.6 | the comparison between Alyssa Lou and Eileen Gou. And the two are about as far apart as they could |
| 1:21.3 | possibly be. They both competed in the Olympics. They competed for different countries. And the media |
| 1:27.3 | reacted fundamentally differently. |
| 1:29.2 | One is a powerful, inspirational story. The other, less so. We're going to break that down. |
| 1:35.4 | And then finally, we're going to talk about what is really concerning data, that Democrats are not proud to be American. |
| 1:45.0 | We saw that on display at the State of the Union, but we're also seeing that in polling |
