Summary
🛡️ Military Operation in Iran
- The U.S., under Trump’s command, launched a devastating airstrike targeting Iran’s nuclear weapons infrastructure.
- The operation included:
- Seven B-2 stealth bombers dropping 14 bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s underground nuclear facility at Fordow.
- 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from a submarine targeting additional nuclear sites.
- Zero American casualties and high precision in execution.
📉 Impact on Iran
- The strike reportedly:
- Eliminated key Iranian military and nuclear personnel.
- Destroyed critical nuclear infrastructure, setting Iran’s nuclear program back by years.
- Prompted Iran to immediately seek a ceasefire, which the hosts interpret as a sign of Iran’s weakened position.
📰 Media and Political Reaction
- Cruz and Ferguson criticize mainstream media and Democrats for allegedly downplaying the success of the strike.
- They claim a preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report was leaked to undermine Trump, despite later confirmations from U.S., Israeli, and even UN sources that the damage was severe.
💬 Criticism of Isolationism
- Cruz strongly criticizes Tucker Carlson and others advocating for non-interventionist policies, arguing that Trump’s decisive action prevented greater conflict.
- He warns against appeasement strategies like those under Obama and Biden, which he claims emboldened Iran.
💰 Concerns About Future Policy
- Cruz expresses concern that some within the Trump administration might push for sanctions relief or financial aid to Iran post-strike, which he vehemently opposes.
🇺🇸 Patriotism and Military Praise
- The episode repeatedly emphasizes support for U.S. troops, celebration of American strength, and praise for Trump’s leadership.
- The hosts argue that “peace through strength” is the only effective foreign policy approach.

| 0:05.5 | Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. |
| 0:08.0 | Ben Ferguson with you. |
| 0:09.2 | It's so nice to have you with us around the country wherever you are listening. |
| 0:12.8 | And we have got a lot to talk about tonight, especially with Iran, the effectiveness of the attack. |
| 0:18.6 | And the media trying to act like this was some sort of a failure. |
| 0:22.3 | Senator, it's been a very fun week to watch the spend games take place. |
| 0:26.2 | Well, it's been an extraordinary week. |
| 0:28.1 | Last Saturday night, President Trump acted decisively as the commander-in-chief. |
| 0:33.2 | He launched an attack on Iran that was brutally effective, incredibly efficient, defended America, |
| 0:39.6 | kept us safe. And ever since then, it did several things. Number one, it produced a ceasefire. |
| 0:48.2 | It caused Iran to come to the table and say, we want peace, we want to end this war. That was powerful. |
| 0:55.7 | But number two, it really has been striking. We've seen the media and Democrats go on full-time spin patrol, go in, lean in hard, |
| 1:03.7 | say this wasn't effective, this was a failure. I've got to say it is astonishing that the reaction |
| 1:08.8 | of CNN and the Democrats, when the president has a crushing military |
| 1:13.3 | attack taking out Iran's nuclear weapon capability, is to say, we stand with Iran and we think |
| 1:19.9 | the American military is not effective. We're going to break all that down. We're going to break |
| 1:23.8 | down. I had a classified briefing today for an hour and a half with our senior |
| 1:27.7 | military leaders. I'm going to walk through what happened, where things stand now in Iran, where they |
| 1:33.0 | stand in Israel, and what's coming next, because what's coming next matters intensely. Yeah, it really does. |
| 1:40.0 | I also want to take a moment and tell you about our good friends over at Crockett coffee. |
