You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markovich.
And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally it's about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday normally on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
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 Dell a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.com.
Before we get to the issue at hand, which is terrorists, and I'm going to use Bill O'Reilly language so you understand it in a minute.
What did you think?
I had Kid Rock on TV last night, and he was at the dinner with Donald Trump, Bill Marr, and uh Dana White.
Um, I have more information that I'm not going to share, but uh just based on what Kid Rock said, it really couldn't have gone better.
Everyone was a little surprised.
Marr was nervous in the beginning, which kind of surprises me.
Doesn't seem like the type of guy that would be nervous.
He goes before big crowds every uh, you know, uh almost every week.
Um but what what are your thoughts on the fact that it even took place?
Well, number one, I ran out and bought a suit just like Kid Rock as soon as I saw him on your program last night on television.
So that's by the way, that's an old evil can evil holdover, but it looked cool.
Yeah.
Uh so I'm getting a new suit for uh uh courtesy of Rock.
Um Donald Trump is uh he looks at life as transactional as both you and I know better than anybody else in the country because we've known so long.
This is a transaction for him.
So he is trying to convince another media person that he is right, that he is a positive force, and that would be Mr. Marr.
So Trump does this all the time.
He tried to convince Bob Woodward.
I told Donald Trump, you're never gonna be able to convince Woodward because he's writing anti-Trump books, and that is what he has signed the contract to do.
So no matter what you say to him, he's gonna write an anti-Trump book.
And he wrote, I think, four of them.
He tried to convince the uh New York Times correspondent.
What's that woman's name?
She's on MSNBC all the time.
Maggie Maggie Haberman.
You can't work at the New York Times to be sympathetic to Donald Trump.
But he's changed since then.
He I mean that that goes back to his first term.
He thought that he might if he struck up relationships with people, that they'd be reasonable, and you and I both know that that was be impossible with those two examples.
Right.
But he's still optimistic in the sense that his uh uh persuasive powers can bring people across the line to treat him fairly.
And that's why Marr got the invitation.
Now, Maher himself is in a tough.
Well, but the in fairness to the president, though, this he was kind of skeptical of the idea.
He did it as a favor because Kid Rock asked him to do it, and he's friends with Kid Rock and his friends with Dana White.
And I I don't he was somewhat reluctant, it seemed to me, to do it, but he did it as a favor to them.
It was not something that he was seeking to do.
Okay, but he did it.
He did it.
And um, so let me get to my second point.
With Marr, it's a little bit different.
Because Ma is in the morning Joe zone.
And that's why Ma was nervous.
Because Ma now is meeting with the devil.
Because in Los Angeles, where he not only works, but he's ingrained in that liberal community.
And uh with his HBO show, which is 90% liberal people watching him he is now you know in a battlefield and you saw what happened to Scarborough when he went to visit Trump after the election his audience turned away from him he has not recovered to this day that's why Marr's nervous because Ma knows that the people who uh watch him most of them despise Donald Trump.
You know what the difference is Marr didn't seek this out either in fairness to him.
Kid Rock proposed it they both said they were both a little hesitant but they agreed.
Well I'll tell you I'll put it this way if Joe Biden had invited me to the White House for a meeting I would have gone.
I don't think my audience would have turned on me I would have been myself in front of him I wouldn't have I wouldn't have tried to make peace the way Joe and Mika were trying to kiss up to him.
I don't think he went there to kiss Trump's ring.
I think he went because it was an interesting a fun experience.
But if you went to see Joe Biden you would have to explain to the audience and the audience the audience on the right is not generally speaking as hateful as the audience on the left in my experience.
As long as I stayed true to who I am and didn't go there to kiss their their ass I think I'd be fine and if I explained all the issues that concerned me which I would have and all the disagreements I had with him then I would be speaking on behalf of my audience as far as I'm concerned and that's how I would handle it.
That's how you would handle it.
Well I can speak from a factual basis.
So when I what do you think I'm speaking from a nonfactual basis?
But I can give you a concrete example and I'm sure you could give me one too but I'm gonna give you the one first if you don't mind.
Obama uh Barack Obama.
When I interviewed Obama three times I got mail from the right that I was too soft on him.
So you were too soft on him because I didn't call him a name or I didn't uh dump water on his head or whatever these people wanted me to do.
I was tough those interviews are tough.
You can Google them and see him but I wasn't disrespectful.
You know what the difference is and I I I'm gonna defend you here.
It is now would you go full Barney Frank on Barack Obama?
Of course not when you're dealing with a president it is a very difficult interview.
But I'm actually glad I didn't have to interview Barack Obama because I would have to sit back even though I uh I and resist the urge to correct him when he was wrong and when he's running out the clock because they always put a clock on people like you and me in those situations.
Sure.
I just finished a message of the day which will be on BillO'Riley dot com tomorrow morning it's free everybody go in there.
And the message of the day says that when Joe Biden was elected I actually was rooting for Joe Biden to bring down prescription drug costs.
I was rooting for him to seal up the southern border and to get peace in Ukraine.
As an American citizen I was rooting for Biden to be successful and not only those but others because it's good for the country.
Today no matter what Trump does the haters on the left want him to fail.
Deporting criminal migrants no he can't have that uncovering wasteful did you see Jamie Raskin once all the trendar gang members sent to El Salvador brought back I would accept it as long as they live in his house with ankle bracelets.
How's that?
That's the point between the right and the left that I'm trying to make I wanted Biden to solve vexing problems that were hurting Americans.
I wanted him to do it.
The left does not want Trump if he cured cancer they'd still hate him Bill.
You see that's the difference.
Yeah listen I would have been but if Biden's policies would work I'd be happy for American success.
Yeah Americans suffered uh with high gas prices.
Americans died as a result of open borders.
Americans were raped.
Americans were victims of violent crimes.
The fentanyl opioid crisis has never been this bad.
Is economic policies as energy policies a disaster?
Is foreign policy a disaster?
And his and frankly, it was a clear and present danger with his cognitive state.
Let me move on.
I I'd be negligent as a host if I didn't move on to the topic of the day, which is reciprocal tariffs.
Now I'm going to use Bill O'Reilly language so you understand.
You know, you talk a lot about hosing people, and you talk a lot about the folks.
Here's what frustrates me.
Americans that frankly that I would argue are institutionalized in the sense that they have institutionalized thinking.
Donald Trump is an iconoclast that is constantly thinking outside of the box, i.e.
Panama, i.e.
reciprocal tariffs, uh, i.e., making a deal with Greenland, i.e., peace in Europe, peace in the Middle East, energy dominance, you know, uh deporting these criminals.
He does things that uh average politicians won't do.
Here's my frustration.
This is where it drives me crazy.
You pick the country, the European Union, European countries that have tariffs on our products that we don't have tariffs on theirs.
The eight uh eight German cars sold in America for every one sold in Germany because of a ten percent tariff and a twenty percent VAT tax, which makes it cost prohibitive.
Canada taxes, a whole variety of American products, and we don't do it back to them.
And the American people, the folks pill have been getting hosed by India, Canada, China, European nations, uh, the European Union, and it's gone on for decades and decades.
Trump is saying, no more.
We're not going to be treated unfairly.
If you want free and fair trade, you can have it with us.
Otherwise, you're gonna tariff us, we're gonna tariff you back.
And somehow people are looking at this like like Armageddon and the death of, you know, uh the death of America as we know it, when historically that's not been the case, which I went through earlier in the program.
That's because those people want Trump to fail.
They're not looking out for the folks.
They're not right.
So any fair-minded person would say, doesn't matter whether you're conservative or liberal, we should have equal footing in our trade relations with the rest of the world.
Okay.
Now we might give them a few points based upon Vietnam, for example, being a much poorer situation, and we have a lot more power.
By the way, Vietnam just changed their their tariff policy because of Trump pressure.
Bill, do you know that there's four trillion dollars since he the threat of tariffs that have been committed to the United States as investments?
Four trillion.
I owe he's already won this battle.
But see, that's a long run play.
So what you have now, and this is the problem that President Trump has to deal with.
In theory, he's right.
But in practice, if there's six months of a contraction of the economic econom uh of the American economic system, he's gonna suffer.
Because people don't look out.
We're not a patient people.
Most Americans don't understand tariffs.
They don't know what a VAT tax is.
They don't get that, which is why all the other presidents uh since World War II have totally ignored this.
The only exception was Dwight Eisenhower, and he was very, very gentle because of the Marshall Plan.
But not one president of the United States since World War II has taken on this tariff unfairness.
So it's a shock to the economic system.
And that is why you're seeing the stock market go up and down.
The Trump haters seize on this.
They don't care whether there's four trillion dollars coming back to help the United States infrastructure.
All they care about is harming Donald Trump.
And that, in my opinion, is un-American.

So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
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 Nayfock.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yeah, that's right.
Locker up.
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Anyway, you can sign up.
Just go to Hannity.

I'm going to sign up just because I want you to give me a Tesla, but I do benefit, particularly in the book realm.
When I have confronting the presidents, I come on Hannity Radio.
Boom.
So you're right.
You don't have to give me the Tesla.
I'll sign up for it.
Well, I think you also write good books.
If you didn't write good books, they wouldn't sell, just like if Trump wasn't a good president, you can't sell them.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with All Things Simple Man, Bill O'Reilly, All Things O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly.com.
All right, we continue now with uh all things simple man, a few more moments with Bill O'Reilly.
Um, and you know, uh I'm just I'll give you a quick example, Bill, why this infuriates me and why I think I think the media is stupid.
I think the punditry class is stupid.
I think Democrats are stupid.
I mean, Hakeem Jeffries, it's not liberation day, it's recession day.
No, that's not the history of tariffs as they've been used in America.
Uh Pap Buchanan uh has a great column out about this.
Anyway, but let me tell you where we are, and this is what really infuriates me, because most people don't know we've been ripped off left and right by countries that are supposed to be friendly countries.
Brazil charges 18% on ethanol.
Japan charges uh a 700% tariff on American rice, the European Union, 10% tariff on all American-made cars, and then countries like Germany have a value-added tax, a national sales tax at about a 20% rate.
So that is that that that makes it cost prohibitive in Germany to buy an American car.
And meanwhile, they're selling eight German cars in America for every one car we sell there.
We're getting ripped off.
We're getting slapped in the face.
You know, on top of that, the European Union, they've got a 10% tariff on all American, uh, all American cars, 50% tariff on American dairy products.
That hurts our farmers.
Uh they even tariff American guns.
And all President Trump is saying, well, hold on a second.
We're supposed to be allies.
We're supposed to be friends.
I believe in free and fair trade, and you guys have been taking advantage of us.
You've been hosing the folks, and I'm telling you what's going to happen, Bill, and I went through this in great detail.
All of the investments that these countries are now making in America is just going to continue to grow.
I mean, we've got Hyundai, Apple, 500 billion dollars over four years.
Nvidia, SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Johnson Johnson, CMA, CGM, a shipping company, uh, drug companies, geo aerospace, Nissan and Honda, we're going to build factories in Mexico.
They've decided to move them to America.
Over $4 trillion when you include foreign investments from like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, that they are committing to this country because they don't want Trump's tariffs.
It's that simple.
So it's already working.
It does take time, but why are so many Americans willing to get punched in the face, even by our allies, and take it?
I'm tired of America being a sucker nation.
And Trump's saying no more, and I like it.
Yeah, I mean, if you take a long view on it, the wider view, then it makes perfect sense.
But people live moment by moment.
They live day to day.
They don't understand the dynamics of macroeconomics.
Uh I I, you know, most people they determine what they like and don't like about what their experiences that day.
And when you hear a constant barrage, which you do from the corporate media that we're going to a recession and you're going to lose your job, you're going to lose this, you're going to lose that.
Then people get frightened.
And that's what's happening.
Fear is a tremendous political motivator.
Tremendous.
So if you step back on emotionally and you say, look, this could be setting up the American renaissance economically for 30 years if we can get these deals in place.
Yeah.
But if you're going, well, I don't know if uh if I lose my job, and that's what a lot of people are reacting to.
That's why the polls are 50-50 on it.
The polls are uh the new polls that came out this week on the tariffs of 50-50.
Um people are afraid.
Donald Trump is uh a daring guy.
I you want to use the word daring.
And a lot of people like to play it safe.
He's an iconoclast.
He's a businessman, he's a constant negotiator, and he believes in fundamental fairness, and he fights back, and he thinks out of the box, and people aren't used to it.
They have institutionalized thinking because they've been indoctrinated in schools.
Um let me give you let me ask you one question about the elections last night, because I think it's being misinterpreted by by so many different people in the media.
Now, we had Brad Schimmel on this program, and I didn't want to bring a lot of attention to it, but I think the it's an interpretation uh of an election that didn't go our way.
Now, by a whopping margin, 26 points, Wisconsin voters backed photo ID, voter requirement in their elections.
All right, that was huge.
The Republicans won the two Florida seats.
Uh these these April elections are always a crapshoot, they're turnout elections.
The problem with Brad Schimmel was he once called Wisconsin's abortion law from 1849 valid.
And the law does not even allow an exception for rape incest or the life of the mother.
And he further went on to say, I don't know how you can reconcile a faith in Christ with abortion.
There's no way that works.
Now I was it the driving issue.
It was a big issue.
And this is a problem.
When when Josh Shapiro won over Mostriano and Pennsylvania, Mastriano was a no exceptions, no exceptions for rape incest mother's life candidate.
Josh Shapiro won the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by the h highest margin to a non-incumbent since the nineteen forties.
Bill, you cannot expect to win elected office unless you are in the reddest of red districts.
And Wisconsin is a swing state.
You can't expect to win if you have that position on abortion.
That is just a simple fundamental truth of life.
It is a fact.
So the idea that this is a referendum on Donald Trump, Donald Trump didn't get involved in the race.
He knew that this guy had this position.
He didn't pick this candidate.
He endorsed him after to give him a little support, but he knew I spoke to him before the election.
He says he's he makes no exceptions.
He's not going to win.
He knew it the day before if the day before we had the discussion about it.
Well, I live in a secular society and a lot of women are not going to uh take into account any opposition to abortion.
You might be right on that.
But I'm not so worried about Wisconsin.
I I don't think it's a swing state any longer.
I think that the way they'll conduct themselves up there is they'll make it a blue state.
It's only ten electoral votes.
You need to worry about it because they're about to do redistricting.
The state Supreme Court there is going to gerrymander it and Democrats will likely pick up two to three seats.
That's a big deal with a small majority for Republicans.
Yeah, but y that's not gonna overturn the seven uh that Trump has.
Um Florida was a bigger thing because that now becomes along with Texas, the two leading red states.
And the media lied about the races.
Uh you and I both knew, and we both said to our audiences that these Republicans were gonna win handily, and they did.
Um, I'd never say that to my audience because I don't want anyone to take any election ever for granted.
I'd never say anything's in the bag.
That you didn't buy that they were gonna get waxed.
No, I knew I knew that was a bunch of crap.
Right.
And then you said that.
So Florida and Texas, they are the leaders in the red traditional movement.
Wisconsin, unfortunately, is gonna go over to blue, and that's what happened yesterday.
All right, Mr. O'Reilly.
Uh next time breakfast is on me again.
This way, that's the only way I can get you to attend a breakfast with me.
All right, and I'm drive to that breakfast in my new Tesla.
So you know.
What's the word of the day, Bill?
The word of the day is no sugar.
I'm with you on that.
No, that that that is not the word of the day.
Your memory is failing.
I'm beginning to wonder if you're becoming Joe Biden this year.
What you don't remember the word?
I just told it to you.
Go ahead.
What's the No.
I'm gonna know if you you're gonna have to listen for the rest of the show.
I'll say it after you get off the air.
All right.
I'm sorry I forgot it.
Um I'm just delirious here with joy that I'm getting a free Tesla.
All right.
Linda, tell him the word of the day.
I'm too busy listening to him laugh, which I think is hysterical.
The word is liberation.
Liberation.
I got Liberation.
Word of the day, Bill.
You know what's cool though?
If you do give Bill a Tesla, then you and Bill can race each other in your S plaids.
Which I think everyone's Bill doesn't have Bill does not have the courage to go as fast as I'd be going.
First of all, Bill O'Reilly.
I'll get on a track with O'Reilly.
I assure you.
I will get on a track with O'Reilly.
We'll film it and and the winner.
Uh I'll bet any amount of money he wants for any charity that he chooses.
Oh my God.
Really you're gonna buy him a Tesla and donate to a charity?
Boy, oh boy.
Well, no, no.
He has to win the Tesla.
By the way, if O'Reilly wins the Tesla, everyone's gonna think it's rigged.
Well, then he doesn't have to win then.
Maybe you just buy him one and we just support.
Why should I buy O'Reilly and Tesla?
I think you need to be liberated and given a Tesla.
Do you agree?
Of course he agrees.
He loves free stuff.
He that's the liberal side of O'Reilly.
I'm pretty sure it's Sean.
I think it's Sean.
I don't know.
Bill O'Reilly.
Bill fell asleep.
Bill, did you fall asleep?
Listening to Linda stick up for me.
The North Carolina race between you and I. We're gonna go down there and you're gonna lose a ton of money.
Uh I'm I'm I'm all in.
But but Bill won't train with me one day.
I invited him to train with me in Sensei.
He won't come.
He refuses to come.
Be the best thing you ever did in your life.
That's me.
It'll change your life.
You kick people, Handy.
You're fierce.
I'm not gonna, but I'm not gonna kick you, and I'm not gonna gouge your eyes out, and I'm not gonna rip out your trach, and I'm not gonna choke you out.
Oh my god, we went from liberation to the violence.
I gouged you.
Um what is in the greenberry cereal?
What is going on?
It's not the greenberry cereal, it's just is it the Chef IQ stakes?
I mean, what is happening?
No, I would never do any of that.
I would be very, very deferential to Bill, and we would work at his level, whatever it is.
He's starting out.
I've been doing it for 14 years.
There's no hope for you, O'Reilly.
None.
I'm trying, I've tried, I've tried enough.
Anyway, sir, God bless you.
Thank you for being with us.
Appreciate your time.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Luke is in Wisconsin.
Luke, how are you?
Glad you called.
Yeah, good afternoon, Sean.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
What's going on?
My family and I left Minnesota when Tim Wolves uh shut down my business church and kids' school.
We moved to Wisconsin and wanted to comment about it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Why did he shut it down?
During COVID, it was ridiculous.
All the nonsense he had.
Uh it was totally political, the movement he made.
It was devastating to our business.
Our church was shut down for goodness, almost a year.
Uh it was it was pretty awful during COVID uh in Minnesota, let me tell you that.
Mm-hmm.
Uh well, it might be a good thing in the end.
Sometimes things happen for a reason.
It sounds like you're happy in Wisconsin and you're probably a Green Bay Packer fan and not a Minnesota Viking fan anymore.
Yeah, I uh I'm in that transition, certainly.
But I wanted to comment on the election yesterday.
Um, and I think you're right, uh, on um the abortion issue, I'm very uh pro Jesus pro-life.
And uh they really, really hammered on that issue uh with Brad.
And the Democrats have done a very good job of evolving their message from the legacy media, and you're certainly seeing it, you know, on YouTube and on all social media channels, and they did a much better job with their messaging and their ground game was very good, uh, even though it was decent uh voter turnout uh, you know.
They had a fortune and out of state money come into the state, and Brad Schimmel's past comments on abortion were devastating to to him in this race.
You know, and he called the the eighteen forty-nine abortion law, which is precedent valid, and saying that there's nothing in that law to make invalid.
Now the law does not allow exceptions for rape incest or the mother's life.
Now, I would argue in most states, if not all, that is a political death sentence.
You can't win elected office with that position.
I just don't believe you can.
Anyway, my friend, Luke, thank you.
You made a good move in my view, still a little a little too cold for my taste, but I love the people in Wisconsin.
They're they're salt of the earth.
We Appreciate you.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel, what uh President Trump is calling Liberation Day, announcing tariffs, reciprocal tariffs on nations that have been taking advantage of us.
We'll get full complete reaction.
Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary, Charles Payne will weigh in on all of this.
The Democrats in disarray, leaderless.
Now Charlemagne and the God saying Schumer and Jeffrey's and Newsome need to go.
New Kingrich, Mark Wayne Mullen will join in.
Also, the left.
Why are they trying to turn Luigi Mangioni into Robin Hood?
Politico says Trump may lose Gen Z supporters by going after the death penalty for this guy that killed the United Healthcare CEO, murdered him in cold blood.
Can't believe that insanity, but we'll get to that.
We have Dr. Drew Pinski.
Also, Colorado Democrats roll out a bill to consider misgendering a discriminatory act and other crazy stories.
Nine Eastern set you DBR, news you won't get from the media mob tonight at nine.
We'll see you then back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making the show possible.
