This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome, it is Verdict with Ted Cruz.

0:07.6

We can review Ben Ferguson with you and hear the big stories that you may have missed that we talked about this week.

0:13.2

First up, Donald Trump making it very clear to Iran, do not attack Americans or our interests in the Middle East.

0:21.2

And if you do, there will be hell to pay.

0:23.9

Also, Israel gains air superiority over the entire state of Iran.

0:28.9

And now the people of Iran may realize the regime is not as strong as they thought.

0:33.8

And finally, Tucker Carlson doesn't believe Iran wants to assassinate or plan to assassinate Donald Trump.

0:41.4

It's the week in review, and it starts right now.

0:44.6

That note that he put out there was very clear because he's saying, hey, A, we weren't involved in this,

0:50.7

and we're going to state that clearly, this is Israel doing their thing. But if you think

0:55.9

1:18.6

called deterrence. We want them not to strike our servicemen and women. And by the way, that's the

1:24.1

difference between Joe Biden, who was so weak he couldn't deter anything.

1:28.8

It helps that our enemies are afraid of the commander-in-chief.

1:33.1

That's where actually, in the debates about foreign policy, those who argue for isolationism

1:39.1

get it wrong, because if you're so terrified to engage with your enemies, then you end up causing more war.

1:48.7

I think Reagan was right.

1:49.9
