Dems Bailing on Biden...Who Could Replace Him? plus RFK Jr Denied Protection & Ridiculous Trump Gag Order

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/ed2a47d8-c806-40e2-83b9-b081000906a4/transcript

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson analyze new polling showing increased support for socialism among Americans, particularly among independents and Democrats, and debate what is driving those trends. They also discuss immigration policy, Democratic priorities in the midterm campaign, and concerns about proposals involving legal status for millions of undocumented immigrants. The conversation then turns overseas, where British authorities arrested five men suspected of preparing a terrorist attack near RAF Fairford, a military base that hosts U.S. forces. Cruz and Ferguson review the details of the investigation, the reported possibility of links to Iran, and what they see as broader national security implications. The episode also examines reports involving a former Hamas leader's bodyguard who allegedly obtained asylum and citizenship status in the United Kingdom before later being accused in a major terrorism plot.

With five weeks until the midterm elections, Democratic messaging on impeachment, immigration, and the growing popularity of socialism takes center stage. Senator Ted Cruz argues that the stakes of the election extend well beyond control of Congress, touching on economic policy, border security, and the future direction of the country. Cruz and Ben Ferguson examine comments from Democratic lawmakers regarding potential impeachment efforts if Democrats regain power, and they discuss what those proposals could mean for the political landscape heading into Election Day. 

 Topics Covered:
Democratic discussions of potential impeachment efforts if they regain congressional power
New Gallup polling on rising public support for socialism
Immigration policy and proposals involving legal status for millions of undocumented immigrants
Midterm election messaging and voter concerns heading into Election Day
The foiled terrorist plot near RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom
Reports involving a former Hamas bodyguard and broader security concerns tied to immigration screening

Dems Embrace Socialism & Open Borders plus UK Terror Plot Foiled

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/48427c5f-9096-4ba1-8866-b4be0045b337/transcript

In this episode of Week In Review Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss a study examining political donations by Princeton faculty, debate ideological diversity on college campuses, analyze comments from academics and university leaders, and connect those trends to contemporary Democratic politics. They also review Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate campaign, his previous support for the uncommitted movement during the 2024 presidential cycle, Kamala Harris’s appearance on the campaign trail, and the broader political fight over DEI, progressive activism, and messaging ahead of the midterm elections. The episode concludes with a discussion of Texas Democrat James Talarico, his public image as a moderate Christian, and criticism of views expressed by leaders associated with his longtime church community.

A new study on political donations at Princeton University found that none of its full-time faculty contributed to Republican candidates during the 2023 and 2024 election cycles. Ted Cruz argues the findings reflect a broader ideological shift within higher education and what he describes as the growing influence of university culture on today’s Democratic Party. The conversation expands beyond academia to the 2026 Michigan Senate race, where Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed welcomed former Vice President Kamala Harris to campaign with him. Cruz and Ben Ferguson examine El-Sayed’s past support for Michigan’s “uncommitted” movement, the political implications of Harris’s involvement, and ongoing debates surrounding DEI policies and progressive political messaging. 

Topics Covered:
Princeton faculty political donation data and ideological diversity in higher education
Commentary from Jonathan Turley on universities, free speech, and faculty hiring
Yale, Harvard, and broader debates over political representation on college campuses
Abdul El-Sayed, Kamala Harris, and Michigan’s 2026 Senate race
The “uncommitted” movement and disagreements within Democratic coalition politics
James Talarico, religion in politics, and controversy surrounding church leadership statements

Princeton the One-Party Campus, Super Kamala to the Rescue plus James Talarico's so called 'Church' Week In Review 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/38574ed0-f204-4b2d-9603-b4be004589e8/transcript

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson examine President Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping, the strategic competition between the United States and China, the race for AI supremacy, China’s role in supporting Iran, and efforts to secure the release of dissidents and prisoners held by authoritarian regimes. They also discuss recent political controversies involving progressive activists and Democratic candidates, along with a closely watched Senate race in Texas.

President Trump’s high-profile meeting and state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping put the U.S.-China rivalry at the center of the global conversation. With leading American CEOs in attendance and artificial intelligence emerging as a defining strategic battleground, the discussion focused on far more than diplomacy. The stakes include economic leadership, technological dominance, supply chain security, and the future values that shape AI around the world. At the same time, concerns over China’s relationship with Iran, the status of political dissidents, and ongoing geopolitical competition added another layer of urgency to the talks. Senator Ted Cruz argues that the challenge posed by China is the most significant long-term geopolitical issue facing the United States and discusses why he believes American leadership is critical in the decades ahead. 

Topics Covered:
President Trump’s meeting and state dinner with Xi Jinping
The U.S.-China competition over artificial intelligence and technology
China’s economic, military, and geopolitical ambitions
China’s support for Iran and the impact of Iranian oil exports
The cases of Jimmy Lai and other political dissidents imprisoned by authoritarian governments
Political debates surrounding Hasan Piker, Abdul El-Sayed, and Texas Senate candidate James Talarico
