What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
We break down the news and bring you behind the scenes, inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup information overload hour 800-941, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
So we've been telling you and reporting on the issue of four Americans now kidnapped uh inside of Mexico.
Uh, you know, look at Joe's open border policies now.
Uh these cartels have been emboldened and empowered beyond their wildest dreams.
Sadly, human trafficking now is more profitable for some than even drug trafficking.
We got the fentanyl crisis, the heroin trafficking, uh, cocaine trafficking, uh, methamphetamine trafficking.
Uh, anyway, Fox News is reporting that two of the four Americans that we have videotape of being kidnapped, Sarah Carter had a great report.
We'll update it tonight on TV as well.
In Mexico, two are dead, and the other two remain alive.
And video of this incident shows armed men in body armor, dragging one person across the pavement, pushing a woman into the bed of a white truck, and then dragging two more men who appear to be wounded across the pavement, loading them into the bed of the same truck.
Photos of the scene show a white minivan that had North Carolina plates riddled with bullet holes shortly after the kidnappings, with a woman who reportedly witnessed the attack, telling the AP that she saw the minivan collide with another vehicle before hearing gunfire and seeing armed men approach the van.
All of a sudden, the gunmen were in front of us, said the woman, who declined to be identified for fear of retaliation.
I entered a state of shock.
Nobody honked their horn, nobody moved.
Everybody must have been thinking the same thing.
If we move, they'll see us, they'll shoot us.
She added that she saw the men force one woman who was able to walk into the bed of the truck while the other victim, who she said uh could move his head, was loaded into the truck.
And then, quote, the other two they dragged across the pavement.
We don't know if they were alive or dead.
And according to law enforcement, the group of Americans were traveling uh to Mexico for health services last week when the minivan that they were driving was attacked by a group of armed men who shot the vehicle before dragging the Americans out and loading them into the truck.
Um, it's it's sad, it's it's shocking.
But if you listen to the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Mayorcus, he's been telling us again and again and again and again that the borders are secure.
I've heard you in the judiciary commission committee recently in the summer, testify that the border is secure.
Secretary Myorcas, do you continue to maintain that the border is secure?
Yes, and we are working day in and day out to enhance its security, Congressman.
Thanks, sir.
So you have remarkable I get it.
I just wanted to make sure that that's that still is your uh your assessment.
Let me take a step back for a minute and let me uh explain a very important uh make make a very important point, and that is that the border is secure.
The United States Border Patrol secures the border on behalf of the American people.
That's what we do, and we are doing it.
Uh in order to keep the American public safe uh in the time of pandemic, uh we are expelling families under the CDC's authority.
We are expelling single adults, and what we are doing is is addressing young children who come to the border to make claims under the humanitarian laws that our country has established years and years ago.
And we are building the capacity to address the needs of those children when they arrive, but we are also and critically sending an important message that now is not the time to come to the border.
Congresswoman, the border is secure and the border is not open.
We are expelling under the CDC's public health authority in light of the pandemic, single individuals who arrive at the border.
We are expelling families under that same public health authority, uh uh limited only uh by the capacity of Mexico to receive them.
And we are not expelling children who arrive unaccompanied without a parent or legal guardian, and we are caring for their custody and their sheltering in HHS's um responsibility to place them with sponsors so that they can proceed uh with their immigration proceedings and their claims for humanitarian relief under the laws of this country in a safe and orderly way.
Here is a press report of all this from Fox News report uh talking about the incident.
As reported by the Associated Press on the kidnapping of this four Americans in Mexico.
A Mexican official saying that two of them have now been found dead.
Two others are alive, one of the survivoring two is said to be wounded.
All this again, according to the associated press.
The president of Mexico says they will continue the search to bring one person right now detained in custody, but he says they will continue the search to bring all of those to justice.
Quoting now Mexico will look for and punish those responsible for kidnapping of these Americans.
Remember, they left from North Carolina with South Carolina plates.
They crossed over from Brownsville, Texas, into Mountamoris, Mexico on Friday, and that's when they were met by a um what appears to be a Mexican cartel.
There was gunfire.
You can clearly see the bullet holes riddled in that white van all over it.
And whether or not that was what was responsible for killing two of the four, we do not know.
Uh but the video, Dana we saw was that at least two of them were had a very difficult time even moving when they are on the ground there.
All right, joining us now is former Congresswoman Representative Maya Flores uh from Texas is with us.
Uh is now, by the way, with Americano Media and a senior contributor.
It's a Spanish language Fox News and a senior fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
Uh Congresswoman, uh it's great to have you back.
I'm sorry they gerrymandered you out of your district.
It was obvious what happened.
Uh you had done a phenomenal job, and you're still doing a phenomenal job for your community, and we wish you the best as always, as you know.
Thank you so much.
Our country is definitely worth fighting for.
Let's talk about this incident, and now I uh there's an article in front of me.
Is it safe for Americans, in your view, to go to Mexico?
It's not safe.
And it's coming from someone who's from Tamaulipas.
I have family in Matamoros in the city where these four Americans were kidnapped and now two are gone.
But this is really uh gotten worse after the Biden administration.
The policies that he has put in place, which have encouraged illegal immigration have made the Mexican cartel more powerful.
And this is why we have to label them as terrorists, because not only are they terrorizing the Mexican people, they're also terrorizing Our country as well, our southern border.
We had an administration official say uh just last week, I believe it was uh uh Merri Garland, maybe Christopher Ray, one of the two for sure, saying that labeling, you know, certain groups, terrorist organizations, uh, is difficult because uh it might be too politically explosive.
It might hurt diplomatic relations.
I'm like, okay, look at Brownsville, Texas.
Look at where this incident took place.
It is literally, you know, just miles away from Brownsville as I understand it.
It's actually within feet away.
Feet away from Bronzeville.
Unbelievable.
Together.
We grew up together.
Matamoros and Bronzeville grew up together.
We were a family, but these Mexican cartels have divided us.
I have family in Matamoros who I can't visit because I am afraid of these things happening.
Why would I want what I'm afraid to come here to the United States?
That is why we're asking for our borders to be secure.
They're not safe.
And because of the Biden administration, is that the Mexican cartel is now more powerful and running Mexico.
So far this year, we're on track to create yet another record uh number of illegal immigrants entering the country.
Uh in Joe Biden's first two years, it's well over five million people that have entered this country with the help and aid and assistance of a president, uh, a president that swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, which means you uphold you you swore an oath to uphold the laws of our land, and he's not doing it.
He's not doing it.
I have no faith in our government at this moment.
Right now we have Russians in our custody, Chinese in our custody who have worked for their for the military, for the Russian military who have worked for their government.
We have Chinese who have worked for their Chinese military with the Chinese government being released and expected for them to come back for their court date.
Are you kidding me?
They're not coming back ever.
Next to nobody ever shows up.
And then, you know, we heard after the last election from Chuck Schumer, he wants amnesty for all of these all the illegal immigrants in the country.
Absolutely not.
We have to secure the borders.
We cannot continue to encourage people to come here to the United States illegally, knowing the trauma and the abuse that they will go through.
Right now we have children being brought into the United States illegally to be sold into child sex trafficking and to be exploited in the workforce.
Where's the outrage?
I mean, the Democrat Party has selective outrage.
They only get outrage over stupid things, but not things that actually matter.
What about these children being exploited and being sold into child sex trafficking?
I don't care where they're from, they're innocent children.
What about the fentanyl?
What about the methamphetamine?
What about the heroin?
What about the cocaine?
That's right.
That is killing our children, the future of this country, and that drug, which I call it poison, was created to kill Americans.
That was the purpose of that drug.
Because we do have a problem in this country with drug abuse.
And they're taking advantage of that.
That is the reason why that drug was created to hurt the American people.
And they're winning.
They're winning on this.
And the Biden administration is doing nothing.
It's as if we they're against their own people.
And I and it and it hurts because this is truly the greatest country in the world.
You know, my family, we came here for opportunities for freedom.
And I feel that all that is being taken away from us.
Where will we go if this country c goes down?
There's nowhere else to go.
This is truly the greatest country on the world, and it's worth fighting for.
We can't give up.
It's about elections, and I hope people are hearing you loud and clear, because uh your passion is infectious.
Our prayers go out to our fellow Americans.
Number one, the The families that lost loved ones and prayers that we can get these other two Americans home safely.
Uh anyway, Congresswoman uh Maya Flores.
Uh, we appreciate as always you being with us.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Quick break right back.
Your calls on the other side, straight ahead.

What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Nafok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.

All right, let's hit our busy phone, shall we?
Uh Let's say hi to Frankie.
He is in Washington State.
Frankie, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Mr. Hannity.
Thank you for letting me be on your platform.
I really appreciate it.
I'm a disabled veteran with the service dog.
And you know, I go to the BFW in American Legion.
We're all pissed off.
Every veterans pissed off.
Our whole country is in demise because of this administration.
Donald Trump, you know, when he's building that wall, wanted to close it all up.
Okay.
Now we got this these Americans that were taken hostage and shot and killed.
You know, I heard two of them were back on soil now.
But you know what?
This was our opportunity to take that border.
Now is the time for reaction.
Now is the time to take action.
Take that whole border and shut it down.
You know what?
You know, my whole thing was uh started uh I I know uh Joe Ken and Tiffany's file who run up here in Washington, and I used to go to their venues, and I said, you know what we do with these these people coming across the border?
We put them in the military.
You're gonna learn our constitution.
You gotta earn your stripes.
And the biggest thing about that is they're vetted.
I get your fingerprints, your blood, your picture, I get everything about you.
If you don't work, you're going back.
And then you're vetted.
Then you know what?
They're not going to have any kind of secret clearance.
They're gonna they're gonna paint, they're gonna mow, they're gonna earn their stripes.
They're gonna learn our constitution, they're gonna learn what it is to be an American in our country, not their country.
That's Frankie.
Here's here's let me slow you down a hair, and I hear your passion here.
It's very simple.
We have laws about how to enter this country.
All we're asking, we're not saying we don't want immigration.
I'm the product of immigration because my grandparents, all four of them, came to the U.S. through Ellis Island and they came here legally.
Uh I don't mind people coming.
I don't care where you come from.
Just go through the process legally.
I think we should have certain, you know, we should have background checks, and in the middle of a pandemic, you should have health checks, and you should people should prove that they're able to take care of themselves when they get here.
Short of that, welcome to the country.
I don't care where you come from, but it's got to be legal.
That's that that is, you know, we're letting people in, and we're even the few that were catching what, 160 people that are on the terrorist watch list last year alone.
I mean, how many people on that watch list got through that we don't know about that are setting up terrorist cells right here in our country?
It's this is madness.
And frankly, it is it is an absolute affront to the oath of office that President Biden took.
He's not upholding the Constitution.
The Constitution is our foundation for every law that we have in this country.
If he doesn't like the laws, he knows how to change them, or at least somebody around him can teach him how to change them and do it properly.
It's like he can't, you know, through executive fiat, say, oh, we're gonna pay off your student loan.
No, we have another branch of government, uh, and that would be Congress.
You have the executive branch, you have the judicial branch of government, and then you have this this other group of bran uh this other branch of government, that's the legislative branch.
And the legislative branch has to sign off on all this.
You want to change the immigration laws, change it that way.
800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Listen, want to remind you about Genusel, Mary and her husband from North Carolina wrote us and said, quote, my husband and I both notice that our skin is softer and smoother after using Genucel products faithfully.

The bags under my eyes are less visible and so happy.
And best of all, they're easy to use and to apply.
Uh, Linda, how do I take this?
Even for my husband, what does that mean?
Listen, it means that we as women are supporting our husbands, and we don't think that you shouldn't have the right to look as good as we do.
So go get it at genusell.com.

Music.
Thank you.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Many of you have been very, very patient here.
The free state of Florida, Michelle, she's on the line.
Michelle, how are you?
Glad you called.
Uh we had your governor on TV last night.
We had Donald Trump on TV last night.
We had a lot of Floridians on last night.
Yeah, they're great.
Um how are you doing, Sean?
Good.
Glad you called.
The reason why elections are going the way they are is because the Democrat Party is the most corrupt organization in this country, if not the world right now.
And people should but all right, so they're corrupt.
They took advantage of COVID in 2020.
They've set up this system of voting where you vote like, you know, for four months in a row.
It's insane.
Uh they don't want voter ID.
They don't want signature verification.
Uh meanwhile you need a picture ID to go to Congress and say hello to them even though they are supposed to be public servants.
So the bottom line is we can whine about it as much as we want or just accept the reality and do it better than them.
I'm not willing to accept defeat and just roll over because what the system they've designed benefits them.
No, but we got to understand how they got this corrupt um our media is um we're given freedom of the press because they're supposed to be part of their checks and balances.
And our media is supposed to report on all the corruption.
Well our media has turned into a propaganda machine for the Democrat Party.
They cover for them the Democrats could not have gotten this corrupt if it wasn't for the media aiding them all along the way.
And that is our biggest problem is getting the word out, getting out what's going on because um our media is even more corrupt than the Democrat Party as far as I'm concerned.
The mob in the media and I live this and I've lived it my entire career they are corrupt and they lie and they lie with abandonment.
They don't care.
Three years of Russia collusion they don't care.
Richard Jewell they didn't care.
Nicholas Sandman they didn't care.
Uh Ferguson Missouri they didn't care.
Uh Freddie Gray Baltimore they didn't care.
Cambridge police they didn't care.
UVA they didn't care.
Duke La Cross they didn't care.
We now on all of these stories we got it right.
They got it wrong.
And then you know it's it's amazing how upside down and backwards their world is and they are so sanctimonious and they think you know they they had they hung the moon and they're nothing but propagandists for this radical left wing climate agenda socialism.
That's all they are I don't even I listen if I sp if I spent my day just pouring over the lies they tell about me I'd never be able to work.
Oh I know it's it's absolutely incredible and people should be terrified at the position that the Democrat Party has put this country in especially with um China and um I mean they are lining their pockets with Chinese money and it basically started with the Clintons and the Chinese.
I want to know how much money Joe Biden and his family have done in business deals with the communist Chinese and how much profit they made.
I want an answer.
Same with Russia.
Same with Ukraine.
Same with Kazakhstan and any other country foreign country that they might have done business with I want to know and I think the American people have a right to know and hopefully James Comer's committee the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee will get us the answers we need.
Oh I don't understand is these people who vote Democrat can be shown absolute facts on the corruption and they just act like it's not there.
I mean Biden got on TV.
No they've they've got to blame Donald Trump corruption.
Was it Trump facts we can show them facts of the corruption of what the Democrats have been doing.
Even the Russian collusion that comes down to the whole thing was started with Hillary and her camp but they don't care.
So they advanced the lies they advanced the propaganda they advanced the dirty Russian disinformation dossier she paid for they turned the other way when she you know the deleted thirty three thousand emails destroyed her devices they don't care.
They didn't care that the FBI uh went and used this fake phony dossier that they could never verify that was full of lies, uh, as a means of bludgeoning and even spying on a candidate for president and a president.
And that's the America, sadly, that is so corrupt.
When Trump gave a speech at CPAC, you know, he said the deep state knows we are the only ones that can stop them, and we will, and they're gonna do everything they can to stop him.
And I I I have I have no earthly idea what they have up their sleeve next.
I do know that they are unrelenting in their pursuit of putting the scales, their thumb on the scales of elections, obviously in this country, because that's what they keep doing.
Anyway, got to run, Michelle.
God bless you, appreciate it.
800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the uh program.
Uh Bob is in Michigan.
What's up, big Bob?
How are you?
What's going on, sir?
Hey, Sean, thank you for taking my call, and you're doing a great job.
Thank you.
Uh okay, I I have voted early, and I'm I'm kind of confused because when I voted early, the city clerk told me um, you know, that my ballot would be sealed, and they couldn't count it until after eight o'clock election day.
So I'm I'm confused in terms of um that uh voting early versus the day of the election.
I mean, I want to do everything I can to um and have the integrity of my vote to count.
But they did tell so they took your sealed ballot and they put it in, I guess whatever whatever box or whatever wherever they put ballots, and they said that they will count it on election day.
Is that what they told you?
Yes.
Well, that's what a lot of states do that.
Now, I do like Florida's system better because Florida counts mail-in votes uh when they get them, and that makes, you know, as as Marco Rubio pointed out, he was comparing Arizona to Florida.
He said we count seven and a half million ballots in a couple of hours and we give a result, and you know, you're counting like sixty ballots a day and acting like it's a heavy lift, and it went on for weeks and weeks and weeks.
How can anybody have any confidence in a system like that?
Democrat or Republican, you just can't.
Right.
So what can we do to rectify this?
I mean, I'm I'm with you in terms of early voting, but the only thing that you can do, Republicans have got to be willing to embrace early voting, voting by mail, and you've got to embrace the idea.
Most laws, most states have a law about ballot harvesting, and Republicans need to match those legal efforts, only follow the law, and and they need to outdo what the Democrats are doing.
That's the best thing I can recommend to people.
Now, I I would it's not the system I want.
I have to keep saying that because people think, do you hear Hannity?
No, the system I want is election day to be a national holiday, same day voting, partisan observers in every precinct in the country, watching the voting all day long, and then when the polls close, partisan observers watch the vote count up close, we get a result, we announce the result, election over, everybody goes home, crashes, and goes to bed.
Maybe as a Tito's before they hit the bed.
Yeah.
Right?
That's the way it should be.
Yeah.
But until we win elections, we can't change it.
So the system we have is the one we're stuck with.
So we better do what they're doing and do it better than they're doing it.
That's my advice.
I hope people are listening though.
Anyway, I'm glad you're out there.
Bob of Michigan, appreciate it, buddy.
God bless you.
Um, Brian in North Carolina.
What's up, Brian?
How are you?
Uh I'm doing great, Sean.
I'm just so grateful for you.
I feel like you're just such a consistent, trustworthy voice, my friend.
And so just thank you so much for all that.
Well, thank you for helping me do it.
Trust me, I have a lot of enemies out there.
Well, let me uh give you some good news because I know there's a lot that swirls around us.
But my friend Adam Cooper in South Carolina last week did a twenty-two-hour workout.
The guy was on the stairmaster or the bike for twenty-two hours, took a couple bathroom Breaks, all for veterans' mental health, suicide prevention.
He's a marine veteran.
And so even in this crazy world, and you know this, there are amazing, dedicated Americans who in Adam's case are willing to put sweat equity on the line to help our warriors just know that somebody's out there caring for him.
And I was down there with him and got to see him do the whole thing.
Wow.
So you stood up with him for the 22 hours.
Look, uh let me say something else here.
Fundamentally, the people in this country are great.
It's not government that makes us great.
You know, government is, as Thomas Paine once famously said in common sense, government is but a necessary evil.
Uh and, you know, government can be intolerable.
Um in its worst state, it's intolerable.
And the big government doesn't work.
We've tried it again and again and again, and it always fails.
But the people of this country, all the people that get up every day, they obey the laws, they pay their taxes, they take their kids to school, they work there 14, 15, 16 hours a day.
They they you know, try to, you know, put a meal on the table every night, help their kids with homework, get up and do it all over again for decades of their life.
They're those are the people that I admire.
You know, and in any field or endeavor, our military, our firemen, our policemen, our paramedics, our nurses, our doctors, uh, you know, even except even our lawyers, if you have a good one.
Um, I admire people that that take care of themselves and take care of their own family.
Um one of the things that in my life I'm a little bit grateful for, especially starting out living paycheck to paycheck for a lot of years of my adult life.
You know, I'm I'm glad I've been able to put a little bit of money away from my children.
And I'd like to give it to them, you know, when the day comes and God calls me home.
And I and the government's gonna take 40% of it, even though they already taxed it.
But, you know, I'm I I just want everybody in this country to have the ladder to success open to them.
The only way that's gonna happen is if we embrace freedom.
Freedom and liberty is the is the system by which it keeps everybody honest.
And the harder you work, the better you're gonna do.
And the more, you know, ingenuity you take God's gifts, you bring them to fruition, you bring products, goods, services to market, and you serve other people, and in the process, you make a profit.
You can buy yourself a car, a house, hopefully, and and live out the American dream and and make a better life for your children and grandchildren than the one your parents gave you.
Um, I certainly am a product of that.
Uh my parents had much harder lives than I did.
Uh my grandparents, oh my gosh, the all four of my grandparents uh and both my parents grew up, you know, pretty much in poverty.
They were poor.
I didn't have to experience that as a child.
You know, but I've worked my whole life.
I had a work ethic, you know, instilled in me at a very young age, and I'm I'm thankful for that work ethic.
It's actually an honor to be able to work every day.
But anyway, it's a good reminder.
It's people like your friend and people like you that make this country great, my friend.
God bless you.
Yep, yes, sir, you too.

Our friends at Fox and Friends interviewed him live while he was on the staircase.
That's awesome.

He joins us now live, along with Army Green Beret veteran and 50 56 brave founder Lowell Copart.
Good morning to both of you.
Morning.
Good morning.
Adam, what inspired you to do this?
Did you lose a friend?
No, I didn't lose a friend.
I just think it's a uh an important cause that needs to bring more awareness to it.
And uh, we have to be radical with it.
And I I I figured I have to do something extreme and radical to get more awareness towards this uh problem that we have within the veteran community.
All right, my friend.
God, and you're right.
We're endowed by our creator.
God's in charge.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
