 In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson examine the allegations surrounding the reported “Round River” assessment, the FBI’s review of related activities, and broader concerns about transparency, accountability, and political bias within government institutions. They also shift to escalating tensions with Iran, discussing statements from a senior adviser to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps suggesting Tehran could seek to prolong its confrontation with the United States in an effort to outlast President Donald Trump. The conversation explores U.S. pressure tactics against Iran, claims about economic strain on the regime, and reports of ongoing threats against the president.

A newly disclosed report about an alleged FBI and intelligence operation called “Round River” is raising questions about how public figures were categorized during investigations tied to Russian disinformation and the Biden family Ukraine scandal. According to the report discussed in this episode, prominent Republicans and conservative organizations were allegedly labeled as “conduits” of disinformation, while leading Democrats were categorized as “targets.” The controversy centers on a spreadsheet reportedly recovered from U.S. intelligence files and released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force. The document has sparked debate over whether political affiliation influenced how individuals and organizations were treated by federal agencies. 

Topics Covered:
The reported FBI and intelligence assessment known as “Round River”
Allegations that public figures were categorized as “conduits” or “targets” of disinformation
The White House Government Transparency Task Force document release
