In this explosive episode of Verdict, Sen. Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson break down Israel’s decisive military strikes against Iran — including their targeting of nuclear facilities and the elimination of key military leaders. While Iran responds by targeting civilians with ballistic missiles, Cruz raises the critical question: should the U.S. join the effort and take out Fordow?
This episode of Verdict also offers exclusive insight into Sen. Cruz’s recent interview with Tucker Carlson, as he begins to unpack their intense two-hour showdown. Cruz explains that when it comes to foreign policy, Tucker has "gone bat crap crazy. He's gone off the rails. He is suddenly a hardcore isolationist.”
