Verdict with Ted Cruz

Cruz’s Visit to El Salvador Cruz is in El Salvador meeting with President Nayib Bukele, government officials, U.S. military, and embassy staff. He describes dramatic changes in safety under Bukele’s leadership—highlighting the crackdown on gangs, mass arrests of MS-13 members, and construction of a mega-prison. Cruz emphasizes the murder rate dropping from the highest in the world (100 per 100,000 in 2015) to 1.9 per 100,000 in 2024, a 98% decrease. He contrasts Bukele’s tough-on-crime approach with U.S. cities that, in his view, are paralyzed by progressive policies. Cruz stresses that security improvements are also prompting reverse migration: Salvadorans in the U.S. are reportedly returning home. MS-13 and U.S. Politics They discuss Kamar Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 member from Maryland involved in human trafficking and domestic abuse, who is facing deportation. Cruz criticizes Democrats, particularly Senator Chris Van Hollen, for being sympathetic to such individuals instead of supporting law and order. This segment is framed as an example of Democrats prioritizing criminals over public safety. Cracker Barrel & “Go Woke, Go Broke” Cruz and Ferguson mock Cracker Barrel’s recent rebranding decisions, claiming the company abandoned its traditional customer base for “woke” marketing strategies. They compare the backlash to similar situations with Bud Light and Target, noting plummeting stock prices and customer revolt. Cruz highlights investor warnings that leadership ignored, framing the reversal as a victory for conservative consumer pushback. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.   Democrats vs. Law Enforcement The show features a critical breakdown of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s MSNBC interview with Joe Scarborough, where Johnson repeatedly avoids answering whether adding 5,000 police officers would reduce crime. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader Democratic reluctance to support law enforcement, driven by ideological commitments rather than public safety. They cite crime statistics—such as Chicago’s 629 murders in 2022, exceeding the entire United Kingdom’s total—to underscore the urgency of the issue.    Real-World Consequences A gripping firsthand account from a young Asian-American reporter who was violently mugged in Washington, D.C., highlighting the real-world consequences of urban crime. This sets the stage for a broader conversation about President Trump’s aggressive crime-fighting strategy in the nation’s capital, which the hosts frame as both morally necessary and politically effective. The show explores how Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and law enforcement has led to a notable drop in violent crime, including a 13-day streak without a homicide—an unprecedented development in a Democrat-run city. The hosts contrast this with Democratic messaging that downplays violent crime in favor of focusing on homelessness and mental health, arguing that Trump’s results-driven approach is resonating with everyday Americans.   Rep. Chip Roy Congressman Chip Roy joins the program to discuss his campaign for Texas Attorney General, his push to ban congressional stock trading, and his support for raising the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots from 65 to 67 to address pilot shortages. He also weighs in on the Texas vs. Ohio State football game, predicting a win for the Longhorns led by Arch Manning.   Anything to Not Thank Trump The hosts dive into the political and cultural impact of President Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, particularly in Washington, D.C., where violent crime rates have dropped significantly following federal intervention. They frame Trump’s approach as a bold, results-driven solution that contrasts sharply with Democratic leadership in cities like Chicago and Baltimore. The segment emphasizes how Trump’s actions—such as deploying federal resources and supporting law enforcement—are reshaping the national conversation around urban safety, law and order, and public accountability. The hosts also highlight Trump’s stance on transgender athletes in women’s sports, positioning it as a common-sense issue that resonates with a majority of Americans. They argue that Trump’s ability to solve real-world problems, from securing the border to reducing crime, is what sets him apart from traditional politicians. The discussion underscores how Democrats’ resistance to Trump’s policies—even when they improve public safety—reveals a deeper ideological divide, with some voters prioritizing political identity over personal security.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

House GOP Probe House Republicans, led by Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, launched an investigation into alleged manipulation of Washington, D.C. crime data. Allegations claim Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officials intentionally downgraded charges to make crime statistics appear lower. A whistleblower with knowledge of MPD operations confirmed the alleged manipulation. One commander, Michael Pulliam, was suspended over the incident, but the issue may span all seven patrol districts. Justice Department & Federal Probe The investigation follows the Justice Department announcing its own federal probe into D.C. crime statistics. Discrepancy: official reports say crime is at a 30-year low, but residents and whistleblowers say otherwise. Donald Trump’s Position Trump claims FBI crime stats are “fake” and is framing D.C. as a test case for federal intervention in U.S. cities. He threatened to send troops to Baltimore, raising concerns among local officials. Trump portrays himself as confronting “business as usual” in crime reporting and law enforcement. Cashless Bail Executive Order Trump signed an executive order to end cashless bail, starting in Washington, D.C. The order: Directs federal law enforcement to prosecute arrestees federally where possible. Seeks to prevent pretrial release without bail. Threatens to withhold or revoke federal funding from jurisdictions with cashless bail policies. Attorney General must identify such jurisdictions within 30 days. Political Reactions Democrats: Angry at Trump’s intervention. Argue cashless bail gives judges discretion to detain or release based on risk, not wealth. Say Trump is using the issue as a distraction from other policy failures (e.g., prices, economy). Trump Allies & Conservatives: Portray cashless bail as a failed liberal policy fueling crime. Cite cities like Chicago as examples of negative consequences. Miami’s mayor emphasized public safety as citizens’ top concern, criticizing revolving-door justice.

1. Dunking on Gavin Newsom Ted Cruz responds to a tweet by Newsom blaming Trump for rising electricity prices. Cruz uses AI (Grok) to highlight that the states with the highest electricity rates are Democrat-led with strong renewable energy mandates. He argues that liberal policies, not Trump, are responsible for high energy costs. The discussion includes a critique of renewable energy mandates and infrastructure challenges in blue states. 2. Democrats’ “Forbidden Words” The think tank Third Way released a memo listing 45 words/phrases Democrats should avoid, claiming they alienate everyday Americans. Examples include: “privilege,” “birthing person,” “microaggression,” “cisgender,” “food insecurity,” and “environmental violence.” Cruz and Ferguson mock the list, comparing it to George Carlin’s “seven dirty words” and argue that the problem isn’t just language but ideology. 3. SCOTUS Victory for Trump on DEI Grants The Supreme Court ruled 5–4 in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to cancel $783 million in NIH grants tied to DEI and gender ideology. The ruling was based on jurisdictional grounds—plaintiffs filed in the wrong court. Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the swing vote, siding with conservatives on the funding issue but not on reversing DEI guidance. Cruz and Ferguson discuss the implications for future lawfare and judicial activism. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Recognition of Somaliland The senator discusses efforts to urge President Trump to formally recognize Somaliland as an independent nation. Somaliland is portrayed as a stable, democratic ally of the U.S., strategically located near the Gulf of Aden. The senator criticizes China's influence in Africa, particularly its opposition to Somaliland's ties with Taiwan and the U.S. A letter to President Trump is read aloud, advocating for recognition based on Somaliland’s governance, military cooperation, and geopolitical importance. 2. Crime and Law Enforcement in Washington, D.C. The senator supports President Trump’s decision to deploy federal law enforcement in D.C., claiming it led to a significant drop in crime. Statistics are cited showing reductions in robbery, carjacking, and violent crime. The narrative criticizes Democratic leadership in D.C., alleging manipulation of crime data and failure to address public safety. The DC Police Union chairman is quoted, blaming legislative changes for the breakdown of the criminal justice system. 3. Criticism of Media and Democratic Leadership The hosts repeatedly accuse mainstream media of ignoring or misrepresenting stories that reflect positively on Trump or negatively on Democrats. There is a strong emphasis on the idea that Democrats prioritize political narratives over public safety, especially in high-crime urban areas. 4. Biden’s Use of the Autopen for Pardons The senator raises legal concerns about President Biden’s use of an autopen to sign pardons and executive orders. DOJ officials reportedly warned that some pardons were legally questionable and involved violent offenders, contradicting public claims. The discussion suggests that Biden may not have personally authorized some actions, potentially invalidating them. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.   Clay's Prediction Comes True A breakdown of the New York Court of Appeals' unanimous decision to overturn the $500 million civil fraud fine levied against President Donald Trump by Attorney General Letitia James. The hosts frame this legal victory as a major turning point in the ongoing battle against politically motivated lawfare and judicial overreach. Clay Travis is credited for accurately predicting the case’s dismissal, reinforcing his credibility among listeners. The episode dives deep into the origins of the case, which alleged Trump inflated asset values—most notably Mar-a-Lago—to secure favorable mortgage terms. However, the hosts emphasize that Trump repaid all loans with interest, and the banks involved expressed no concerns, even stating they’d gladly do business with him again. The legal theory behind the case is described as “harebrained,” with no actual victim, and the $600 million penalty (including interest) is portrayed as a product of Trump Derangement Syndrome infecting the courtroom. Clay and Buck also explore the broader implications of this ruling, suggesting it signals the unraveling of other politically charged cases against Trump, including the E. Jean Carroll civil suit and the 34 felony counts related to bookkeeping. They argue these cases are built on weak legal foundations and will likely be tossed on appeal.   Yuge Trump Victory Clay and Buck criticize Letitia James for her public statements promising to prosecute Trump, calling her actions disgraceful and politically motivated. They speculate she may face legal consequences herself for alleged mortgage fraud and call for her disbarment. The episode also features Trump’s reaction via Truth Social, where he celebrates the court’s courage and labels the case a “political witch hunt.” Clay compares Trump to Neo from The Matrix, highlighting his growing popularity and influence. The hosts argue that Trump’s legacy will become even more iconic over time, especially as the public recognizes the extent of misinformation and partisan targeting.   Cracker Barrel Crackup? Cracker Barrel’s rebranding backlash. The hosts criticize the removal of the iconic grandfather logo and the chain’s attempt to modernize its image, arguing that the move alienates its core Southern customer base. The rebrand is compared to Bud Light’s marketing missteps, with Clay and Buck warning that corporate identity crises often stem from executives disconnected from their consumers. The stock market agrees—Cracker Barrel’s shares dropped $8, wiping out $100 million in market cap. In a humorous interlude, Producer Greg apologizes for ending a previous show with a somber suicide hotline story, coining the phrase “Meow Culpa” in reference to cat owners finding purpose in caring for their pets.   Rep. Byron Donalds Congressman Byron Donalds, who shares his personal experience as a Cracker Barrel waiter, calls the show to slam the rebrand as unnecessary and culturally tone-deaf. He emphasizes the restaurant’s nostalgic value and calls for companies to embrace their roots rather than chase trends. The segment also features listener feedback from Virginia and North Carolina, echoing dissatisfaction with menu changes and declining food quality. The hosts explore chain restaurant branding, comparing Cracker Barrel to Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, and Applebee’s, and discuss the cultural symbolism of Southern food. They also touch on beer branding myths, revealing that Foster’s is brewed in Texas and Budweiser is marketed as premium in Australia.

1. Clemency Controversy Involving Joe Biden Sources allege that in his final days in office, former President Joe Biden issued mass clemency orders using an autopen (an automated signature device). These clemency orders reportedly affected ~2,500 inmates, and were described by the White House as targeting nonviolent drug offenders. However, internal DOJ emails (particularly from Bradley Weinsheimer, a senior DOJ official) suggest: The language in the clemency warrants was vague and legally flawed. Some recipients were violent offenders, contradicting the White House’s public narrative. DOJ officials were confused and sought clarification from Biden, which they reportedly did not receive. 2. Examples of Alleged Violent Offenders The episode names individuals like Rushell Macintosh, Stephen Fowler, and Plays Anderson, claiming they committed violent crimes and were among those granted clemency. 3. Criticism of Biden’s Use of Autopen Biden defended the use of the autopen, saying he approved broad categories and left staff to apply them. The DOJ emails suggest uncertainty and disagreement within the administration about the legality and clarity of the orders. 4. Political Implications and Allegations The podcast connects this clemency issue to broader political themes: Allegations of DOJ politicization. Claims that Democrats are losing voter registration battles in 30 states. Accusations that Democrats are considering gerrymandering, amnesty, and counting undocumented immigrants to regain political ground. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.   Yes, DC is Dangerous   Trump’s declaration that crime is “out of control” and his plan to deploy federal resources in Washington, D.C. has sparked fierce debate, with Democrats downplaying the issue and conservative voices pushing back.  Clay and Buck dissect the Democratic response, particularly Chuck Schumer’s claim that Trump is using crime as a distraction from the Epstein case. They argue this narrative is politically desperate and disconnected from reality. Polling data from the Washington Post reveals that 91% of D.C. residents believe crime is a problem, with 51% calling it extremely serious, reinforcing Trump’s position and exposing a rift between political elites and everyday Americans.   Commentary from figures like Joe Scarborough and S.E. Cupp—typically aligned with the left—acknowledges the severity of urban crime and criticizes the Democratic strategy of relying on charts and statistics to dismiss public fear. The show highlights how Trump’s tough-on-crime stance resonates with voters, especially in lower-income and minority communities disproportionately affected by violence.   Subway Guy Gets Fired   A viral incident involving a Department of Justice employee assaulting a police officer with a Subway sandwich becomes symbolic of the broader cultural clash over law enforcement. The assailant was charged with felony assault, and Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized that such behavior will not be tolerated under the Trump administration. The hosts argue this marks a shift toward restoring respect for law enforcement and public safety.   The hour also explores urban crime disparities, comparing affluent areas like Northwest D.C. and Georgetown to high-crime zones like Southeast D.C. and parts of Houston. The discussion underscores how liberal elites, often shielded by private security, remain insulated from the violence impacting working-class neighborhoods.   Buck Gets "Served"   A spirited debate over Buck Sexton’s claim that he can serve a tennis ball at 100 mph. Professional tennis legends Andy Roddick and John Isner weigh in, casting doubt on the claim and sparking playful banter about technique, athleticism, and tennis attire. Lara Travis, Clay’s wife, joins the conversation via talkback, laying out the terms of the bet and rooting for Buck to defy the odds. The segment draws comparisons to amateur sports challenges and includes reflections on training for the NFL Combine, highlighting the difference between raw power and refined skill.   AK Gov. Mike Dunleavy   Clay and Buck discuss the geopolitical significance of Alaska, emphasizing its proximity to Russia and its strategic military assets, including missile intercepts and the largest Coast Guard presence in the U.S.  Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy joins the show to provide insight into the summit’s logistics, security measures, and the potential for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to join future peace talks. The governor praises Trump’s leadership and expresses optimism that the summit could mark a historic turning point in resolving the war in Ukraine.    Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🛂 Immigration Enforcement Expansion The first half of the document discusses recent agreements between ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and three states—West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas—to expand immigration enforcement under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Key points include: West Virginia: Governor Patrick Morrisey initiated collaboration involving state police, corrections, and the National Guard. Officers are empowered to interrogate, arrest, and detain suspected undocumented immigrants. South Dakota: Governor's “Operation Prairie Thunder” involves highway patrol, National Guard, and corrections staff in supporting ICE operations. Arkansas: Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed the “Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act,” increasing penalties for undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes and enabling state police to inquire about immigration status in public. The tone is supportive of these measures and critical of Democratic opposition, portraying the expansion as a return to “law and order.” 🖋️ Autopen and Presidential Competence The second half shifts to a discussion about the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the alleged cognitive decline of former President Joe Biden and the use of the autopen (a device that signs documents on behalf of someone). Highlights include: Allegations that Biden was not present or competent during the signing of key legislation. Commentary from Newt Gingrich and Mark Levin questioning the legality and ethics of autopen use. Claims that Biden was “incompetent” by 2023 and that Dr. Jill Biden may have acted as a de facto president. Accusations that cabinet members and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duties. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Texas Democrats' Return Fled to avoid redistricting legislation. Faced legal pressure: potential arrest, fines, and threats of office vacancy. Ultimately returned, allowing the redistricting bill to proceed. Redistricting & Gerrymandering Cruz and Ferguson claim Democratic states like California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts are far more aggressive in gerrymandering than Republican states. They cite statistics showing disproportionate representation in Congress compared to actual vote percentages. Historical Context Cruz recounts his experience as Texas Solicitor General during a similar 2003 redistricting standoff. Legal precedent allows for forcible return of lawmakers to establish quorum. Criticism of Democratic Leaders Governors of Democrat-led states are accused of hypocrisy for criticizing Texas while benefiting from gerrymandered maps. Audio clips and quotes from figures like Governor Pritzker (IL) and Governor Hochul (NY) are used to highlight perceived contradictions. Beto O’Rourke’s Remarks A clip of Beto O’Rourke is played where he advocates for aggressive Democratic redistricting, which Cruz interprets as a call for partisan power grabs. Broader Political Commentary The hosts argue that Democrats are losing favor nationally due to unpopular policies and power-driven tactics. They cite polling data showing low favorability for the Democratic Party. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.   Trump Says What People Think    President Donald Trump's crime reduction initiative in Washington, D.C., which has sparked intense backlash from left-wing commentators accusing him of federal overreach and authoritarianism. Clay and Buck dissect the media's reaction and highlight the irony of critics opposing efforts to make the nation's capital safer.   The hosts explore rising urban crime rates, citing firsthand accounts and statistics from cities like St. Louis, Baltimore, Memphis, and Kansas City, and propose deploying National Guard troops as a potential solution. They emphasize the importance of law enforcement, incarceration of repeat offenders, and authentic political leadership in addressing violent crime.   TX AG Ken Paxton on Redistricting Battle    Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins the program to provide exclusive updates on the Texas redistricting battle, including legal actions against Democratic lawmakers who fled the state. Paxton outlines efforts to enforce quorum laws and criticizes the hypocrisy of Democrat-led states with heavily gerrymandered districts.   Would You Do This on a Date?   Clay and Buck share personal dating anecdotes, including a humorous story about a failed e-scooter date and a debate over the social faux pas of using gift certificates on first dates. The segment blends cultural commentary with relatable humor, resonating with both longtime listeners and new audiences.   Mamdani is Everyone's Worst Nightmare   Top Political Headlines include White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming a major diplomatic meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. The hosts also dissect the latest economic news, celebrating a 2.7% inflation rate and record highs across the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones—crediting Trump’s tariffs and economic policies for the market surge and wage growth.   In cultural news, Clay and Buck discuss Disney’s apology and rehiring of Gina Carano after her 2021 dismissal, and the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s ad, which polls show was largely well-received despite media outrage. The conversation pivots to social media censorship, with praise for Elon Musk’s overhaul of Twitter (now X), which they say has curbed leftist bullying and restored free speech.   The hour also dives into New York City politics, spotlighting the rise of mayoral candidate Mamdani, described as a “straight-up communist.” The hosts debate George Will’s assertion that Democrats should face the consequences of their policies, with Buck pushing back, arguing that defeat doesn’t teach lessons—especially to the left.    Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck      YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1. Federal Control of D.C. Police Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act to place the D.C. police under federal control. He declared a public safety emergency, citing high crime rates including murder, carjackings, and assaults. Additional measures included: Reassigning FBI agents to nighttime patrols. Deploying the National Guard. Appointing a federal commissioner for the D.C. police. 2. Legal Justification The podcast outlines constitutional and statutory authority for Trump’s actions: Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the U.S. Constitution. D.C. Code Section 49-49 and the 1973 Home Rule Act. Reference to Posse Comitatus Act and DOJ opinions that D.C. is legally distinct from other cities. 3. Criticism of Democrats and Media Hosts argue that Democrats and mainstream media are unfairly criticizing Trump’s actions. They claim Democrats oppose law enforcement and support policies that increase crime (e.g., no cash bail). The podcast accuses the media of misrepresenting Trump’s actions as dictatorial. 4. Military Action Against Drug Cartels Trump reportedly authorized military force against cartels like MS-13 and Cartel de los Soles. The move is compared to Plan Colombia, a U.S. military initiative under President George W. Bush. The podcast suggests this could be a turning point in combating drug-related violence and trafficking. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.   Make America Safe Again   violent crime in American cities, with Clay spotlighting disturbing incidents in Cincinnati and Memphis. He shares the story of Holly, a mother who was brutally attacked, and critiques the justice system’s failure to keep repeat offenders off the streets. Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno invited Holly to speak out about the crime. Clay praises Judge Jeanine Pirro and President Donald Trump for taking strong stances on law and order, including Trump’s proposal to federalize the D.C. police force and demand a new U.S. census to correct errors from 2020 and prepare for 2030.   The show also explores the political debate over crime statistics, contrasting claims of declining crime rates with real-life safety concerns. Clay argues for empowering police, holding judges accountable, and ensuring cities like Washington D.C. and Memphis become safe again for families.   American Dads are Failing   A deep dive into the rising violent crime in Washington, D.C., spotlighting President Donald Trump's efforts to restore law and order in the capital. Drawing on historical symbolism, Clay reflects on the importance of capital cities, referencing Abraham Lincoln’s commitment to completing the Capitol dome during the Civil War and the newly announced reconciliation monument at Arlington Cemetery.   The episode features a striking comparison of homicide rates in global capital cities, revealing Washington, D.C.’s alarming rate of 41 per 100,000—far higher than cities like Lima, Nairobi, and Mexico City. Clay argues that a safe and vibrant capital is essential to American exceptionalism and global leadership.   The crisis of fatherlessness in America. Clay explores how the absence of fathers in households correlates with youth violence, poverty, and societal breakdown. He responds to listener feedback, emphasizing that while individual cases vary, the data overwhelmingly shows that intact families—especially with present fathers—lead to better outcomes. The discussion includes racial disparities, with Clay citing historical data showing stronger black family units prior to the Great Society programs and questioning the long-term impact of government dependency.   Talking Left and Living Right   The decline of fatherhood in American homes. Clay and listeners explore how absent fathers—across racial and socioeconomic lines—correlate with rising violent crime, poverty, and social instability. The discussion includes listener emails and calls, including one from Ralph in Cincinnati, who shares his personal struggle for equal custody and critiques the family court system’s bias toward mothers. Clay argues for 50/50 parenting time and criticizes the financial incentives that perpetuate divorce litigation.   Clay promotes YouTube bonus content book reviews, including The Fate of the Day, a volume in the American Revolution trilogy, and thrillers by Mick Herron, Sue Grafton, and Robert Parker.  Clay emphasizes the importance of reading and historical literacy for conservative audiences.   SC Sen. Tim Scott on Faith   South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, author of One Nation Always Under God: Profiles in Christian Courage, and dives deep into the crisis of fatherlessness in America, the role of faith in family life, and the impact of government policy on household dynamics. Senator Scott joins the program to discuss his book and personal journey growing up in a single-parent household. He highlights the importance of faith, family, and male role models in shaping strong communities. Scott shares statistics on fatherless homes—over 70% among African-American boys and 40% among white working-class families—and calls for a cultural and spiritual revival to restore family values.   The hour also touches on President Trump’s call for a new census, which could shift congressional representation and electoral college influence toward red states. Clay explains how a corrected census could add seats in Florida and Texas while reducing representation in California and New York.  In a lighter moment, Clay and Senator Scott discuss college football rivalries, with Scott predicting a strong season for the South Carolina Gamecocks. The conversation showcases Scott’s loyalty and enthusiasm for sports, adding a relatable and entertaining dimension to the hour.    Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.   Obama Won't Be Indicted   Deep dive into the explosive developments surrounding the Russia collusion investigation, now reignited by a grand jury probe into Obama-era officials. This hour centers on the Department of Justice's referral and the legal implications of potential indictments stemming from what the hosts describe as a decade-long political conspiracy aimed at undermining President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.   Clay and Buck analyze the statute of limitations, the legal viability of conspiracy charges, and the strategic importance of grand jury venue selection—highlighting the difference between a DC-based jury, which they argue is politically biased, and a South Florida jury, which could offer a more neutral ground. They reference insights from Miranda Devine, who suggests that continued cover-ups may extend the legal window for prosecution.   Eye for an Eye?   The political ramifications of pursuing charges, even if convictions are unlikely. The hosts debate whether the Republican legal strategy should mirror the aggressive tactics used by Democrats, emphasizing the concept that “the process is the punishment.” They caution listeners to temper expectations, noting that presidential immunity likely shields Barack Obama from criminal liability, despite public frustration.   Listeners from across the country, including law enforcement veterans and legal experts, call in to share perspectives on perjury, RICO, and wire fraud, with many expressing skepticism about the likelihood of successful prosecutions. The show underscores the importance of a public reckoning, even if legal outcomes fall short, and stresses the need for political accountability.   Trump Happened   The Trump administration’s economic trajectory, AI-driven investment optimism, and ongoing legal and political battles, all framed within the broader context of media bias, historical accountability, and public trust in institutions.  The segment opens with a strong endorsement of the Trump 2.0 economy, highlighting early signs of growth and the administration’s push for 100% expensing, which is projected to supercharge business investment. Clay and Buck explore the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data integrity, citing declining response rates and questioning the reliability of monthly job reports. This leads to a broader discussion on economic indicators, Federal Reserve policy, and the anticipated housing market thaw.   A major theme is the AI revolution, with comparisons to the railroad boom of the 1880s. The hosts emphasize that AI investment has already surpassed the dot-com era, positioning it as a transformative force in American industry and productivity.   Everything is the Holocaust   Texas State Rep. Jolanda Jones, who fled the state to Illinois, compares redistricting to the Holocaust, which Clay and Buck critique as historically ignorant and hyperbolic. The segment also includes commentary on fashion choices, Kamala Harris, and media narratives, blending serious political discourse with light-hearted banter.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Targeted Groups: Conservative, Christian, missionary, and Second Amendment organizations allegedly affected. Institutions Mentioned: JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America (accused but deny wrongdoing).

🕵️‍♂️ Whistleblower Claims A whistleblower from the Obama-era intelligence community alleges they were pressured and silenced when they tried to challenge the narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. The whistleblower claims: Intelligence assessments were manipulated. Critical context was omitted from the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). There was pressure to align with a predetermined narrative favoring claims of Russian interference. Other foreign influences were ignored. Tulsi Gabbard is cited as having shared and supported the whistleblower’s claims on social media. The hosts argue this supports the idea that the “Russia hoax” was a politically motivated effort to undermine Donald Trump. 📚 Kamala Harris Critique The episode also critiques Kamala Harris’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote her new book, 107 Days. The hosts mock: Her explanation for not running for governor of California. Her comments on democracy, the Supreme Court, and the Department of Education. Her perceived lack of leadership and clarity about who leads the Democratic Party. They argue that Harris and the Democratic Party are out of touch with voters and dismissive of democratic outcomes they disagree with. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

🕵️ FBI & Russia Investigation Discussion centers on new intelligence suggesting the FBI played a role in spreading the Trump-Russia collusion narrative before launching the Crossfire Hurricane probe. The hosts claim this was a coordinated effort involving the Clinton campaign, the Obama administration, and various intelligence agencies. Praise is given to John Ratcliffe for declassifying related documents. Andrew McCabe is mentioned as a likely candidate for prosecution due to alleged false testimony. 🎓 Harvard & Chinese Communist Party (CCP) The podcast shifts to concerns about foreign influence in U.S. universities, particularly Harvard’s alleged ties to the CCP. Whistleblower claims suggest Harvard has formal relationships with CCP entities and trains rising Chinese elites. The hosts argue this poses national security risks and accuse Harvard of being ideologically aligned with China. Reference is made to legislation aimed at banning Defense Department funding for universities with Confucius Institutes. 🇮🇱 Israel & U.S. Politics The hosts criticize Senate Democrats for increasingly opposing military aid to Israel. Bernie Sanders’ resolution to block weapons sales to Israel is discussed, with 27 Democrats voting in favor. The shift is portrayed as a rise in pro-Hamas sentiment within the Democratic Party. The podcast also condemns international governments (UK, France, Canada) for supporting Palestinian statehood post-October 7 attacks. 📰 Media Critique: The New York Times The hosts accuse the NYT of spreading Hamas propaganda via a misleading photo of a malnourished Gaza child. They claim the child’s condition was due to pre-existing health issues, not starvation caused by Israel. The NYT’s correction is criticized for being buried on a little-seen PR Twitter account.

🔍 1. Hillary Clinton and the Russia Hoax Allegations The hosts claim that newly declassified documents show Hillary Clinton personally approved a plan to link Donald Trump to Russian election interference in 2016. The plan was allegedly intended to distract from her own email scandal. The documents reportedly include emails involving George Soros’s Open Society Foundation and Clinton’s foreign policy advisor, Julianne Smith. The podcast alleges that the FBI and media were complicit in spreading the narrative, which they describe as a deliberate disinformation campaign. 🇮🇱 2. Democrats and Israel Cruz criticizes Senate Democrats for increasingly voting against military aid to Israel. He claims that more than half of Senate Democrats supported a resolution to block weapons sales to Israel, which he interprets as a shift toward pro-Hamas sentiment. The discussion includes criticism of international allies (UK, France, Canada) for recognizing a Palestinian state, which Cruz argues rewards terrorism. 📰 3. Media Bias and the Gaza Photo Controversy The New York Times is accused of spreading Hamas propaganda by publishing a misleading photo of a malnourished child in Gaza. The podcast claims the child’s condition was due to pre-existing health issues, not Israeli actions, and criticizes the Times for issuing a low-profile correction. 🇨🇳 4. Harvard and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) The hosts discuss a congressional investigation into Harvard University’s alleged ties with the CCP. Whistleblowers reportedly revealed that Harvard has formal partnerships with CCP training institutions. The podcast argues that China uses these relationships to influence U.S. academia and train future American leaders with pro-CCP ideology. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.   New C&B Steak Bet!   Kamala Harris announced she will not run for California governor in 2026. Clay and Buck analyze her new book, 107 Days, and preview her upcoming appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—her first major interview since her 2024 presidential campaign defeat.   Clay and Buck make a new steak bet about Kamala Harris’s political future. They engage in a spirited discussion over whether Harris will run for president in 2028. Clay argues she will, citing her age, lack of alternative pursuits, and her unique position as a Black female candidate with strong name recognition. Buck counters that Harris is politically finished, suggesting she’s more likely to take a ceremonial role at a university or think tank. The conversation touches on Democratic Party strategy, the importance of the South Carolina primary, and the influence of figures like James Clyburn.   Mayor Mamdani?   The conversation shifts to New York City politics, where the hosts critique mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his past support of defunding the police and his proposal for city-run grocery stores. They warn that his policies could lead to economic and public safety disasters, drawing comparisons to failed socialist models. The segment includes a broader critique of progressive governance and its effects on urban housing, crime, and affordability.   Dr. Oz on the Future of Healthcare   Dr. Oz, now serving as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Trump administration, outlines the administration’s ambitious healthcare agenda. He addresses the skyrocketing cost of healthcare in America, the chronic disease epidemic, and the mental health crisis, emphasizing the role of loneliness as a key driver of poor health outcomes. Dr. Oz also highlights a recent White House event where major tech and healthcare companies pledged to return control of medical records to patients and modernize healthcare through digital innovation.   A major focus is the “big beautiful bill” that introduced work requirements for Medicaid recipients, aiming to restore dignity and autonomy to able-bodied Americans while preserving the program’s integrity. Dr. Oz defends the policy as a moral and economic imperative, drawing parallels to President Clinton’s welfare reform.   The conversation shifts to prescription drug pricing, where Dr. Oz announces a new “most favored nation” pricing policy to combat global freeloading and reduce U.S. drug costs. He compares this initiative to NATO’s cost-sharing model, asserting that America should no longer bear the financial burden of global pharmaceutical R&D alone.   Technology’s transformative role in healthcare is another key theme. Dr. Oz discusses how AI, robotics, and automation will streamline care, reduce administrative waste, and combat fraud—highlighting a recent $15 billion DOJ takedown of a multinational criminal network exploiting Medicare.   FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak   FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak joins the show to discuss the agency’s efforts to protect consumers from sophisticated scams, including AI-driven voice cloning fraud. She outlines the FTC’s enforcement mechanisms, collaboration with the DOJ, and focus on anti-competitive mergers in the fast-evolving tech sector. Holyoak also promotes the FTC’s “Made in USA” labeling enforcement, encouraging businesses and consumers to report violations.    Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Allegations by Donald Trump: Former President Donald Trump is quoted calling for an investigation into Nancy Pelosi, accusing her of using insider information to amass wealth through stock trading. He claims Pelosi has achieved returns “practically in the history of Wall Street” and suggests this is due to her access to non-public information. Financial Discrepancies Highlighted: Pelosi’s government salary is cited as $174,000/year, yet her net worth is reported to have grown from $114.7 million in 2018 to potentially $413 million by 2024. The file references sources like OpenSecrets, Investopedia, and The Times to support these figures. Paul Pelosi reportedly earned between $7.8 million and $42.5 million in 2024 from stock trades. Stock Performance: The Pelosi portfolio allegedly returned 54% in 2024, outperforming the S&P 500’s 25% gain. Notable trades included early investments in Nvidia and Palo Alto Networks, and timely sales of Microsoft and Visa. Pelosi’s Response: In a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, Pelosi deflects the insider trading question, emphasizing her focus on the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. She denies wrongdoing, stating: “I’m not into it. My husband is,” and accuses Trump of “projecting.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

🛫 1. Aviation Safety and the Rotor Act Incident Overview: The discussion begins with a tragic aviation accident that occurred on January 29, involving a collision between an Army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines plane over Ronald Reagan National Airport, resulting in 67 fatalities. Personal Connection: Senator Cruz recounts how his wife was scheduled to land at Reagan that night and was diverted, adding a personal dimension to the tragedy. Legislative Response: Cruz introduces the Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform (ROTOR) Act, which mandates that all aircraft operating in commercial airspace—military and civilian—must be equipped with both ADSB OUT and ADSB IN technology. These systems enhance aircraft visibility to air traffic control and other aircraft, potentially preventing such collisions. Bipartisan Appeal: While the bill was initially introduced without Democratic co-sponsors, Cruz emphasizes its nonpartisan nature and expresses hope for bipartisan support. Support and Testimonies: The episode includes remarks from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, affected family members, and Cruz himself, all advocating for the legislation as a necessary step to improve aviation safety. 🕵️‍♂️ 2. FBI and the Russia Investigation New Revelations: The second half of the podcast shifts to recent intelligence suggesting that the FBI played a complicit role in the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, allegedly driven by the Clinton campaign. Declassified Intel: Former CIA Director John Ratcliffe is expected to release classified documents that reportedly show the FBI’s involvement was predicted with “alarming specificity.” Calls for Accountability: Cruz and Ferguson discuss the need for legal consequences, particularly for figures like Andrew McCabe, whose alleged misconduct may still fall within the statute of limitations. Tone and Style: The segment includes a mix of serious political commentary and light-hearted banter, including jokes about podcast bloopers and a humorous aside about watching Happy Gilmore 2.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.   RIP Hulk Hogan and Russiagate 101   The shocking report of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan’s death at age 71. Clay reflects on Hogan’s cultural impact during the 1980s and 1990s, his recent appearance at the Republican National Convention, and his vocal support for President Donald Trump. The hour opens with a tribute to Hogan’s legacy in sports entertainment and American pop culture.   The episode then transitions into a deep-dive breakdown of the Russiagate scandal, prompted by listener feedback requesting clarity on the complex narrative. Clay outlines the origins of the Russia collusion narrative following Trump’s 2016 election victory, emphasizing how the media, intelligence community, and Democratic establishment allegedly collaborated to delegitimize Trump’s presidency. He argues that the narrative was built on misinformation and politically motivated leaks, leading to years of investigations that ultimately found no evidence of collusion.   Clay also discusses the Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling on presidential immunity, suggesting it could shield former President Barack Obama from potential legal consequences related to the 2016 surveillance of the Trump campaign. He explores the implications of this precedent for future administrations and how it may influence accountability for figures like James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Hillary Clinton.   Uncle Bill Confronts Evil   Clay speaks with bestselling author and media veteran Bill O’Reilly on a range of issues, including the passing of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan at age 71. They reflect on Hogan’s iconic legacy and his pivotal legal victory over Gawker Media. They also explore Hogan’s cultural impact and transitions into a deeper discussion on O’Reilly’s upcoming book, Confronting Evil, which examines historical and modern manifestations of collective evil, including figures like Hitler, Stalin, and Putin.   The hour intensifies with analysis of the Idaho murders and the chilling demeanor of the accused, Bryan Kohberger, as well as the broader implications of confronting individual versus systemic evil. O’Reilly and Travis then pivot to the explosive revelations from Tulsi Gabbard regarding the 2016 election and alleged misconduct by intelligence agencies. The discussion centers on former CIA Director John Brennan and the legal ramifications of knowingly using false information to obtain warrants, with O’Reilly suggesting potential prison time.   The Epstein case resurfaces as Clay asks O’Reilly what advice he’d give President Trump amid renewed scrutiny. O’Reilly reveals he spoke with Trump earlier that day and advises full deferral to the Justice Department, warning against media manipulation and emphasizing the political weaponization of Epstein-related narratives. The conversation also touches on the Wall Street Journal’s reporting and the risks of releasing unverified names tied to Epstein, which could trigger massive lawsuits.   Clay's Business Advice   Deep dive into the latest developments in the Russiagate hoax and new revelations from Tulsi Gabbard and the long-term media and political implications. Clay also discusses the controversial decision by an Obama-appointed judge to block the release of grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein, highlighting ongoing concerns about transparency and justice.   Sunny Hostin of The View says Stephen Colbert’s potential firing is a threat to democracy. Clay challenges her legal credibility, sparking a broader conversation about First Amendment rights, media accountability, and the economics of entertainment. He contrasts Colbert’s financial losses with the massive $1.5 billion deal awarded to South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, underscoring the market-driven nature of media success.   GA Rep. Brian Jack Wants to Bring Boxing Back   An exclusive interview with Congressman Brian Jack of Georgia’s 3rd District. Jack, a former Trump White House official, discusses his newly introduced Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act, aimed at revitalizing professional boxing in the U.S. by modernizing outdated legislation. He emphasizes the need for innovation, athlete protections, and restoring boxing’s cultural relevance, with support from Lonnie Ali and the Association of Boxing Commissions.   In a sports-meets-politics crossover, Travis praises NFL coach John Harbaugh for defending his visit to President Trump amid media scrutiny, calling it a “home run” response and a sign of shifting cultural courage in sports. The segment also touches on the resurgence of UFC and WWE, the decline of boxing, and the importance of American athletes reclaiming dominance in combat sports.    Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck      YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🗳️ Democrats' Poll Numbers Plummeting A recent Wall Street Journal poll shows the Democratic Party's approval rating at its lowest in 35 years. Only 33% of voters view the party favorably, while 63% view it unfavorably. Cruz attributes this to the party being overtaken by extreme left-wing voices and unpopular stances on issues like: Open borders Defunding the police Support for controversial protests Gender and youth medical policies He warns Republicans not to become complacent despite favorable polling. 💰 Proposal to Save $1 Trillion in Federal Spending Cruz proposes ending the Federal Reserve’s practice of paying interest on bank reserves. This policy, introduced in 2008, cost taxpayers $168 billion in 2024 alone, with nearly half going to foreign banks. Cruz argues that: The Fed operated for nearly a century without paying interest on reserves. Ending this would encourage banks to lend more and support economic growth. It could also help lower interest rates and reduce the deficit. ♠️ Fixing Tax Laws for Professional Poker Players A provision in the “One Big Beautiful Bill” changed how gambling losses are deducted. Previously, players could deduct 100% of losses from winnings; now only 90% is deductible. This results in some players being taxed on income they didn’t actually earn. Cruz, along with bipartisan support, is pushing legislation to reverse this change, arguing it's unfair and could drive poker professionals out of the U.S. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Criminal Referral and Allegations Against Obama: Tulsi Gabbard claims that Obama has been referred to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation. She accuses the Obama administration of manufacturing intelligence to falsely suggest Russian interference in the 2016 election to benefit Trump. Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA): Gabbard criticizes the January 2017 ICA ordered by Obama, alleging it was politically motivated and based on unreliable sources, including the discredited Steele dossier. Claims are made that senior intelligence officials like John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey knowingly misled the public and Congress.

🔥 1. Hunter Biden’s Interview and Political Commentary The episode opens with a critical discussion of a recent, controversial interview with Hunter Biden, in which he allegedly expresses anger at Democratic elites and hints at a potential presidential run. Cruz and Ferguson mock the interview, describing it as a “meltdown” and using it to criticize the Democratic Party, portraying Hunter as emblematic of its perceived dysfunction. They highlight Hunter’s comments about George Clooney, David Axelrod, and Nancy Pelosi, and his inflammatory remarks about immigration and foreign policy, including a hypothetical threat to invade El Salvador. 💰 2. The Stop Funders Act Cruz introduces new legislation called the Stop Funders Act, aimed at targeting individuals and organizations that financially support violent riots. The bill proposes adding “rioting” as a predicate crime under the RICO Act, allowing prosecutors to pursue those funding organized violence, including protests linked to Antifa, BLM, and pro-illegal immigration movements. Cruz argues that many of these protests are not spontaneous but are funded by domestic and foreign entities, and that cutting off financial support is key to stopping them. 🚁 3. Drone Threats and National Security The final segment focuses on the growing threat of drones used by criminal cartels and terrorists. Cruz cites examples such as drones scouting a Trump rally and smuggling contraband into prisons, arguing that U.S. law enforcement lacks the authority and tools to counter these threats effectively. He calls for bipartisan legislation to expand drone mitigation powers for federal and local agencies, warning of potential future attacks involving drones.

📰 1. Biden and the Autopen Controversy The discussion opens with a deep dive into a legal and political controversy involving President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to sign off on mass pardons. The Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) had previously ruled that autopen use is valid only if the president personally makes the decision. The New York Times reported that Biden did not individually approve each pardon, raising questions about the validity of those pardons. The hosts argue that this could lead to legal challenges and potentially invalidate some pardons, especially if there’s no paper trail of Biden’s direct involvement. 🌊 2. Personal Story: Guadalupe River Flood Tragedy A first-person narrative recounts a devastating flood along the Guadalupe River in Texas. The story, written by Aaron Parsley, describes a family’s harrowing experience as their river house was swept away. The emotional account includes the death of a young child (Clay) and the survival of his sister (Rosemary) and other family members. It’s a powerful, emotional interlude that highlights the human cost of natural disasters and the resilience of survivors. 📺 3. Stephen Colbert and the Fall of Late Night Comedy The hosts discuss the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, framing it as a cultural shift. Colbert is criticized for being partisan, elitist, and out of touch with much of America. The commentary contrasts Colbert with other late-night hosts like Jimmy Fallon, who is portrayed more favorably. There’s also a mocking segment about Colbert’s pro-vaccine musical skits, which the hosts deride as sanctimonious and unfunny. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

🔥 1. Epstein Files and Trump Controversy We open with a heated discussion about the renewed focus on the Jeffrey Epstein files, with calls for transparency. Senator Cruz outlines four principles for handling the Epstein case: Transparency – Release all information. Protect the victims – Especially minors in explicit materials. Release it all – No selective disclosure. Prosecute predators – Hold all abusers accountable. The media is accused of using the Epstein case to sow division within the MAGA movement, particularly targeting Trump allies like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino. A Wall Street Journal article is criticized for allegedly publishing a fake letter from Trump to Epstein. Trump denies its authenticity and threatens legal action. 🏛️ 2. Congress Defunds NPR & PBS A major legislative update: Congress passed a bill to defund NPR and PBS, a long-standing conservative goal. Cruz and Ferguson argue that these outlets have become left-wing propaganda machines, citing examples of perceived bias and misuse of taxpayer funds. Senator Cruz praises the unity among Republicans in the Senate and House to push the measure through, despite internal resistance. 📺 3. Stephen Colbert and the Fall of Late-Night Comedy Cruz celebrates the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, framing it as a cultural victory for conservatives. Colbert is described as a partisan, elitist figure who alienated half the country with anti-Trump rhetoric and COVID-19 vaccine advocacy. Cruz reminisces about a time when late-night comedy was bipartisan and fun, contrasting it with what he sees as Colbert’s divisive tone. The hosts play clips mocking Colbert’s vaccine-themed musical segments and criticize the influence of pharmaceutical sponsorships. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.    Clay: Sorry, NY   The Senate’s landmark vote to defund PBS and NPR, a conservative goal that has been decades in the making. Clay and Buck frame this as a generational shift in media accountability, pending final approval from the House. The rise of Zohran Mamdani, a New York City mayoral candidate whose far-left platform includes abolishing private property and implementing socialist economic reforms. Clay and Buck debate whether Republicans should strategically allow Mamdani to win, arguing that his radicalism could serve as a wake-up call for voters and galvanize GOP turnout in the 2026 midterms. They suggest that Democrats embracing Mamdani could backfire nationally, especially in swing districts.   The Audience Weighs In   Calls and emails split between defending New York City and supporting Clay’s provocative idea of “sacrificing” NYC to expose Democratic extremism. The hosts also highlight Elizabeth Warren’s public distancing from Mamdani, interpreting it as a sign of internal Democratic discomfort with his ideology.   Alan Dershowitz on Epstein    Alan Dershowitz joins the show to discuss the Jeffrey Epstein case, recent developments in the DOJ, and media misinformation. Dershowitz defends Trump against claims of involvement in Epstein’s crimes, asserting there is no credible evidence linking Trump to any wrongdoing. He also debunks conspiracy theories about Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence, calling them baseless and antisemitic. Dershowitz advocates for full transparency in the Epstein files, including both accusations and exculpatory evidence, to ensure fairness in public judgment.   TN Sen. Marsha Blackburn   Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, offering deep insights into the latest conservative legislative victories and political developments. The hour opens with Blackburn discussing the Senate’s advancement of a major rescission package, which includes efforts to defund NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—an initiative dating back to the Reagan era. She highlights the elimination of wasteful federal spending, such as funding for vegan food in Zambia and electric buses in Rwanda, projecting a potential $90 billion in savings over a decade.   The conversation shifts to President Trump’s early-term accomplishments, with Blackburn praising his swift action on the economy, border security, and crime. She emphasizes his commitment to promises made, including securing the southern border, reducing inflation, and rebuilding the military. The hosts and Blackburn also discuss the “No Tax on Tips” bill and a proposed $6,000 annual Social Security tax deduction for seniors, framing these as key components of the GOP’s 2024 platform.   Judicial appointments take center stage as Blackburn details the contentious confirmation of Emil Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Despite Democratic opposition due to Bove’s past legal defense of Trump, Republicans pushed the nomination through committee. Blackburn criticizes Democrats for obstructing judicial and law enforcement appointments, urging the GOP to push confirmations forward without delay.   The hour also explores Tennessee’s economic success, with Blackburn crediting the state’s constitutional ban on income tax and fiscally conservative governance for attracting businesses and residents. She contrasts this with the rise of far-left politics in cities like New York, referencing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani and warning of the dangers of socialist policies.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🖊️ 1. Investigation into the Use of the Presidential Autopen During Joe Biden’s Presidency The White House Counsel's Office has reportedly opened an investigation into the alleged misuse of the autopen to sign executive orders, pardons, and other official documents during Joe Biden’s presidency. The claim is that Biden may not have been cognitively fit to make presidential decisions and that unelected staffers may have used the autopen without his knowledge. Key figures mentioned: Caroline Levitt, Trump’s Press Secretary, who called Biden the “most incompetent and senile president.” Anthony Bernal, former chief of staff to the First Lady, and Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician, both of whom invoked the Fifth Amendment during congressional depositions. James Comer, Chair of the House Oversight Committee, leading the investigation. The narrative suggests a cover-up and raises questions about presidential authority and transparency. 🏥 2. Medicaid Benefits and Illegal Immigration in New York Texas Representative Wesley Hunt is demanding data from New York Governor Kathy Hochul on how many undocumented immigrants are receiving Medicaid benefits. Hunt argues that Section 1115 waivers may be used to circumvent federal restrictions, allowing undocumented immigrants to access benefits. The governor’s office responded by criticizing Hunt’s stance but did not directly answer the question about the number of undocumented recipients. Hunt cites a Fiscal Policy Institute study estimating 670,000 undocumented immigrants in New York, about 5% of the population. The commentary suggests that Democratic leadership is prioritizing benefits for undocumented immigrants over American citizens and calls for greater transparency.

Designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization Senator Cruz discusses his long-standing effort to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group. He outlines the organization's history, global reach, and alleged ties to terrorism. The conversation critiques past U.S. administrations, particularly the Obama and Biden administrations, for their handling of the Brotherhood. Cruz introduces a “modernized” version of his bill using a “bottom-up” approach to target specific violent branches first. IRS Ruling on Churches and Political Endorsements The IRS has agreed that churches and pastors can endorse political candidates without risking their tax-exempt status. This is framed as a major shift from the Johnson Amendment, which previously discouraged political speech from the pulpit. The discussion includes a personal anecdote from Cruz about defending pastors in Houston who were subpoenaed for their sermons. Biden Autopen Scandal The New York Times reported that President Biden used an autopen to sign pardons without personally reviewing each case. Cruz argues that this could render many of those pardons legally invalid under DOJ guidelines. The conversation speculates on the legal and political implications, including potential challenges to the pardons. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.   Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.   Trump's Tariffs Paying Off   The economic impact of Trump-era tariffs, with the hosts highlighting a rare federal budget surplus in June 2025. They argue that despite media narratives, tariffs have not triggered significant inflation and instead have generated substantial revenue. The conversation also critiques Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for high interest rates, which they claim have frozen the housing market and stifled economic growth. The hosts advocate for rate cuts to stimulate recovery, pointing to record-high stock market performance and strong job growth under Trump’s second term.   Gov. Gavin Salesman   Clay and Buck analyze California Governor Gavin Newsom’s national ambitions, suggesting he is positioning himself as a frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. They critique Newsom’s evasive responses on controversial issues like transgender policies and youth gender surgeries, portraying him as a polished but insubstantial figure who avoids taking firm stances. The discussion frames Newsom as emblematic of a Democratic strategy that relies on charm and ambiguity rather than policy clarity.   Illegal Immigration Realities   Deep dive into the pressing issues surrounding illegal immigration, border security, and the economic impact of immigration policies in the United States. The hosts open with a discussion on the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE facility near the Everglades, using it as a springboard to critique the media’s portrayal of immigration enforcement and the emotional narratives often used by the political left.   A major theme throughout this hour is the economic burden of illegal immigration, with Clay and Buck arguing that the influx of undocumented migrants contributes to rising housing costs, overcrowded emergency rooms, and inflated hotel prices—particularly in cities like New York City. They highlight how Airbnb regulations and the use of hotels to house migrants have disrupted local markets, driving up costs for everyday Americans.   Can You Believe This Question?   Media bias and cultural influence, particularly in sports journalism. Clay and Buck react to a viral moment from the MLB All-Star Game press conference, where a reporter from Defector confronted MLB officials over Georgia’s voting laws. Clay and Buck criticize what they call “agenda journalism” and highlight the irony of punishing Atlanta—a majority Black city—for state-level legislation.    Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck        YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
