| It's 800, 941 Sean, if you would like to join us this Friday. | |
| You know, the more I've been thinking about this, and we're coming up next week, early next week on Donald Trump's first hundred days in office. | |
| And when you think of everything that he is trying to accomplish at the speed of light, it is pretty spectacular. | |
| And more importantly, I don't think people really understand how deep and profound the mess that was left for him to clean up. | |
| And I don't care if it's the what is it, 12, 14, whatever many unvetted Biden Harris illegals that we know include known terrorists in our country. | |
| We've we've gotten about 200 plus 60, I think is the number, suspected terrorists so far. | |
| We have no idea how many are here. | |
| We just know they're here, and we don't know where they are. | |
| And then you can add to that murderers and rapists and cartel members and gang members and other violent criminals. | |
| And and all right, so President Trump has in a hundred days successfully been able to pretty much seal off our border. | |
| I mean, it is ninety-seven percent closed now. | |
| And and anybody that gets caught, they are being sent back, and it's over. | |
| And it is all everything that he is doing is hard. | |
| Everything is doable. | |
| Not everything's gonna be done immediately. | |
| And finding all of these terrorists, murderers, rapists, gang members, cartel members. | |
| I don't know how you actually get to the finish line and say, okay, we we got rid of all of them. | |
| Because I don't think we know all of them that here. | |
| Don't forget there's a bunch of gotta ways. | |
| We have no idea who they are. | |
| But when when people are coming from 200 countries and they're crossing our border, and they were allowed in because of Joe and Kamala Harris, it is mind-numbing to think of the enormity of the task of of cleaning up that mess. | |
| And the president is you know, is now trying to sus systematically get rid of all of them. | |
| And it's and well, you're not treating this one perfectly. | |
| What about the due process right? | |
| Well, if you talk about a brego Garcia, well, number one, he admits he's here illegally, broke the law, didn't respect our laws, border sovereignty, start there. | |
| Then, of course, the president designated MS 13, Trend Aragua as foreign uh terrorist organizations, and under the Alien Enemies Act. | |
| The language in that is very clear, codified by a Supreme Court ruling previously used by four presidents. | |
| The Supreme Court should uphold that precedent. | |
| And and the fact that they they are more concerned about the politics, the image, the look of it, is is beginning to concern me somewhat, even though the president has won about five of these cases, but this is not an easy thing to do. | |
| Now, the president also has to restore law and order and safety and security and refund police and get rid of these idiotic defund dismantled no bail laws. | |
| And he's he's working on that mess, and it is a mess. | |
| And Americans, you know, we have violent crime in this country on average 26 seconds. | |
| And that's a lot of people. | |
| The fact that the Democrats want to focus on the rights of of Trendy Aragua MS-13 gang members as designated by not one but two judges in Garcia's case is a little mind numbing. | |
| The fact that they want to focus on the rights of a foreign student that was involved in in all of the pro Hamas activities and taking over buildings and What else? | |
| Setting up encampments and stopping Jewish students and they're, you know, asking them if they're Zionists or not, and then the school's response is to tell Jewish students you might want to stay home. | |
| It's probably not safe for you to come to campus is not the answer. | |
| And the president's right to think about not only cutting off their funding, why did why did Harvard get 600, nearly $650 million fiscal year 2024? | |
| That's insane. | |
| They have a $53 billion endowment. | |
| All of these countries, all of these uh universities have billion dollar endowments. | |
| It's it's insane. | |
| We ought not be spending a penny on it. | |
| Then you have the president having to deal with the mess that is in Europe, the mess that is in the Middle East, all of which was caused by Joe Biden and even previously, if you're talking about Ukraine and Crimea and the annexation back in what, 2004, that was caused by them. | |
| And if you were and it's been 10 years, and I'm I'm listening to people say Donald Trump's giving in the Vladimir Putin. | |
| No, here the it's sort of like on tariffs. | |
| You have two choices on tariffs. | |
| Either you allow the establishment institutionalists that never think out of the box to just leave everything as it is, and somehow, you know, it's the definition of insanity to bang your head against the wall and expect a different result, or you you draw a line in the sand and say, We're not going to rip off America. | |
| You're not going to abuse us, you're not going to take advantage of us, especially allied countries that count on us for their national security and national defense. | |
| That would be European partners and Canada and so many others and Japan and Taiwan and Korea. | |
| I mean, they they've put massive tariffs on our country, and and for 50, 60 years they've they've gotten away with it. | |
| And people, you know, were skittish in the stock market. | |
| Well, you have two choices in that scenario. | |
| Either you allow the unfair abuse of America to continue, or you take a stand, go through a period of that is uncomfortable, and from that vantage point, then you decide as a country that is it's worth fighting for fundamental fairness, especially with our allies. | |
| Now, we have economic news today that we'll we'll share with you. | |
| Overseas, uh one overseas food producer announced 1.2 billion in investments. | |
| Now we're near ten trillion dollars in investments that have been committed only because Donald Trump has said, no, we'll put tariffs on you. | |
| The Greek yogurt manufacturer, what is it called? | |
| Shobani, I think you like I like that yogurt. | |
| They're blueberry's actually pretty good. | |
| They announced they're investing 1.2 billion, building its third dairy processing plant in America, and this time in upstate New York, and the project will create a thousand full-time jobs, and they did it to avoid tariffs that will be placed on imports that they would otherwise have. | |
| You know, you have a private equity firm expanding investments into U.S. based oil and gas and energy for investors. | |
| Remember, too, on the economy. | |
| We're still living under the Biden economy. | |
| We haven't even gotten reconciliation done yet, which we have to get done, and we'll get to that too today. | |
| But the enormity of the problems that the president has tackled is tackling is it it's unprecedented in a hundred days. | |
| And he's asked by Time Magazine today, well, why you said you'd you'd bring peace to Europe in a day. | |
| Why didn't why didn't you get it done? | |
| He's been in office three months. | |
| The answer to your question is it didn't get done, but he's been on it since day one, and we're as close as we've ever been. | |
| And then he laid out rightly so. | |
| You know, under Obama and Biden, that's when Crimea was annexed by Russia. | |
| And Obama and Biden did nothing. | |
| When troops a few years back were amassing on the Ukrainian border, Russian troops and military equipment, Biden didn't pick up the phone and call Vladimir and say, what the hell are you doing? | |
| And if Vladimir had a legitimate somehow grievance about a territorial dispute, why not try to resolve it before the invasion, knowing damn well that he's not putting those troops and equipment there for nothing? | |
| And asked, Well, what happens if he invades? | |
| Well, it depends if it's a minor incursion or not. | |
| Okay, that didn't happen the four years Donald Trump was president. | |
| Putin didn't make a move. | |
| And nor did President Xi and President Xi for the first time got hit with tariffs. | |
| And I know there's disruption. | |
| I know that Donald Trump by his very nature, he's not an institutionalist. | |
| He's not an establishment figure. | |
| He is a disruptor. | |
| He's an iconoclast and he's thinking anew, and people are gonna have to get used to thinking differently about issues instead of going along with policies that result in a massive debt and deficits, robbing from our kids and grandkids, being ripped off and allowing unvetted gang members, terrorists, criminals, murderers, rapists, and cartel members in our country. | |
| Now, I know that the deal there's two choices, like I said, on terrorists are two choices on tariffs. | |
| You keep getting ripped off, or you challenge the system and fight for better deals. | |
| That the president has chosen the latter, something no president has done in sixty years. | |
| The same thing after three years of nonstop war, which really evolved into a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia, and don't get me wrong, I think I know Putin's a murdering dictator thug, and he doesn't give a damn of that he's killing innocent men, women, and children, which he's been doing. | |
| He doesn't care. | |
| But with that said, there's there's progress. | |
| Now, there are unrealistic, I'm listening to people. | |
| There's such unrealistic expectations. | |
| Well, uh, Mr. President, you're you're saying that you're gonna you're gonna tell Ukraine to give up Crimea. | |
| What are you t Crimea was gone nearly 10 years ago? | |
| That happened on Obama and Biden's watch. | |
| Now, what about Donbas, which was a my understanding an 80% Russian population area in some of these other regions? | |
| The thing that started this was remember, they were never gonna be a member of NATO, and they started pushing to be a member of NATO. | |
| That was that's a trigger for Vladimir Putin and Russia. | |
| That wasn't gonna happen either. | |
| So is it gonna be the best deal for Ukraine? | |
| They don't have any good options. | |
| Now we don't have many options either. | |
| In other words, the United States can continue to be the proxy and fight Russia, and I don't think the American people have the appetite for that, and that was crashing and burning by the end of the Biden administration because we already spent a few hundred billion dollars, you know, helping Ukraine sustain itself to the extent they were able, but there's not going to be a country left if a deal's not struck. | |
| There just isn't. | |
| And then why are we throwing good money after bad? | |
| Whether whether or not Europe has proven that they won't step up for Ukraine to the extent that would be needed to really challenge Russia militarily. | |
| That's their continent. | |
| That's not ours. | |
| So is the ideal going to be perfect? | |
| The deal gonna be perfect? | |
| No, it's not. | |
| What is the alternative? | |
| The alternative, America continues to pay money we don't have, offer military assistance and basically be a proxy for Ukraine, or you get a deal as imperfect as it is, and whatever's left of Ukraine, you you let the Ukrainians run with more security guarantees and a rare earth mineral deal that will enrich Ukraine so they can start the process of building back their country and bringing back population that had left in droves. | |
| That's pretty much your options here. | |
| And oh, you get that means Putin wins. | |
| No, it doesn't mean Putin wins. | |
| It means that the world wins because this ends. | |
| The damage was done under Biden and under Obama and Biden. | |
| Trump inherited this mess. | |
| Just like he's inheriting the mess in the Middle East in October 7th and inheriting the mess of the Iranians now being filthy rich because Joe Biden turned a blind eye to the sanctions that Trump had in place that were bankrupting them. | |
| And as a result, they were able to foment more terror in the region and help plot, plan, and scheme what happened on October 7, 23. | |
| And furthermore, fund terror with Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah in the out of Lebanon in the north and fund the Houthi rebels and then fire their own ballistic missiles into Israel. | |
| That's all this all lies at the feet of the failure, the mess, the disaster. | |
| That was Joe Biden's presidency. | |
| And every American that is murdered and raped and a victim of violent crime, and if there's ever a terror attack by a Biden Harris, unvetted, illegal, it's all blood on their hands, but they'll want to blame Trump. | |
| And if the Iranians get nukes, it's because they had the money that Joe Biden allowed that to have happened. | |
| Well, meanwhile, they were probably sitting on the verge of regime change because they were so broke because Donald Trump's sanctions were so effective and Biden didn't keep them up. | |
| I mean, so every one of these things is hard. | |
| It is complicated. | |
| And I'm like, did the Time magazine, this war's been going on for years. | |
| When he said he's going to get on it from day one and he's going to resolve this, he's committed to resolving it. | |
| He's doing his level best. | |
| Ukraine doesn't really have a hand to play here. | |
| So Donald Trump's gotta figure out how to thread that needle with somebody that has no cards in the game. | |
| Now, do I think the it's horrible what's happened to Ukraine? | |
| I do. | |
| I think it's worse that Joe Biden allowed it and didn't lift a finger to try and prevent it. | |
| I think it's even worse that Europe doesn't protect their own continent. | |
| I think it's worse that America was put in the position of being a proxy fighter against them. | |
| Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |
| And I'm Carol Markowitz. | |
| We've been in political media for a long time. | |
| Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. | |
| That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity. | |
| We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. | |
| We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. | |
| So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass. | |
| You're our kind of people. | |
| Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. | |
| 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. | |
| 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 Mafok 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. | |
| I want to play for you. | |
| I mean, these are such weird times we're leaving living in. | |
| I mean, it's it's bordering on insanity in the country, especially with the left. | |
| The Democratic mayor of Milwaukee, some some guy named uh Cavalier Johnson just criticized the Trump administration. | |
| Why for the for arresting the judge in this case, Hannah Dugan, for obstructing ice from arresting an illegal accused of domestic violence because it's quote scaring immigrant communities and it's quote making our communities less safe. | |
| Now, explain to me how removing somebody who's accused of domestic violence is scaring people and making your community less safe. | |
| It's not like you're making your community more safe to me. | |
| Anyway, listen to this guy. | |
| He's a complete idiot. | |
| Defendant is ordered, there'll be a court appearance. | |
| That didn't happen in this case. | |
| Um I think what what happened here was just show voting. | |
| They're just trying to have this show of force. | |
| And in the process of doing this in a courthouse where people need to go for court proceedings, they're scaring people away from participating in the process. | |
| So if they are witness to a crime uh or something of the sort, they're not gonna go and participate. | |
| And that makes our community less safe. | |
| So the issue is with how the arrest happened, not necessarily that they're an investigation. | |
| Again, I I don't know uh all the things that happened there, but I'm saying that the way that they went about this in this uh ham-handed, haphazard way that this administration has been doing uh since day one, uh, it's driving people away or has potential to drive people away from participating in court proceedings, which makes our community less safe. | |
| Oh, sorry, sorry to actually enforce the laws of our country. | |
| If liberals really feel this strongly about it, they they should, you know, get back in power and have open borders, which is pretty much what they codified into law anyway. | |
| And I I still make the case and stand by my belief that if you're aiding and abetting criminal, illegal immigrants, and creating sanctuary status for them and and all these states and municipalities that allow them to get legal driver's licenses, you're aiding and abetting law breaking. | |
| And and and in many cases, I would argue you're involved in human trafficking. | |
| And the fact that these states have, you know, oh, they all started out, and they're not going to cooperate with ice. | |
| Well, they're cooperating with ICE. | |
| But I go back to what I said before. | |
| Every single thing that Donald Trump inherited here is a mess. | |
| What do you do with 12, 14, 15 million unvetted Biden Harris illegals, and among them are known terrorists and murderers, rapists, cartel members, gang members, and and find them and deport them. | |
| He's done a good job of securing the border, and they're doing a good job in finding these people, in spite of politicians, judges, others getting in the way, and then lawfare and and running to do some judge shopping and and get courts to stop them from doing the job that they were elected to do and usurp the power of of the president constitutionally authorized power. | |
| I mean, it's very, very difficult. | |
| I mean, people want if you think you're gonna get a uh if you think you're going to get a clean landing as it relates to Russia and Ukraine and Europe, good luck to you. | |
| Because I don't think that's that's in the cards. | |
| You know, the reality is President Trump was not responsible. | |
| He was not president when Vladimir Putin was amassing troops and military equipment on the border with Ukraine. | |
| That was Joe Biden. | |
| He's not responsible. | |
| What happened in 2014 when and when the annexation of Crimea took place. | |
| Now it's either his choice that he he gets to he either continues to be the proxy fighter against Putin and Russia, or option B is Donald Trump says, well, we need a negotiated settlement because Europe's not going to do it. | |
| And there's no good answer here. | |
| Because Russia's not going to give back land that is in their minds, I think, in many cases wrongly realized as as theirs. | |
| They feel they have territorial rights to such. | |
| It wasn't the right way to go about it. | |
| Putin's a murdering dictator thug. | |
| I will I'll give a props to the Ukrainian people. | |
| They fought bravely. | |
| They fought valiantly, but they were fighting with our military equipment and our money. | |
| And other countries did contribute, but not to the extent that we did. | |
| So there's not a real good choice here. | |
| Now, the mayor of Kiev, interestingly, sounds a lot more interested in reaching a peace deal with Russia than Zelensky is. | |
| The mayor of Kiev said one of the scenarios to give up territory, it's not fair, but for peace, maybe temporary peace, maybe it can be a solution. | |
| He said the Ukrainian people would never accept occupation by Russia. | |
| So either they go back to war. | |
| And my prediction is Putin will win that war. | |
| Because I don't think that Europe is going to do what would be needed to stop Putin from winning that war. | |
| I just don't. | |
| And the United States has nearly $40 trillion in debt. | |
| And we've got to get our finances back in order. | |
| We need to build up our own defenses. | |
| We need to prepare for the next generation of warfare. | |
| Especially when China and Russia have hypersonics and other technologies on the horizon. | |
| And we're falling behind quickly. | |
| Anyway, this is... | |
| You've got two intractable global security problems that he inherited here. | |
| And he there just isn't an answer. | |
| And the funny thing is if they do come up with a deal that is not ideal, because there is no ideal answer. | |
| If you think the ideal answer is, well, well, Putin will just give in and he'll say, okay, I'm going to leave now, and I'm going to pull back from Crimea and Donbas and all these areas. | |
| You are dreaming that war will continue, and the Ukrainians will want more U.S. and European money, and then and then God only knows how it ends. | |
| Now, the president now also inherited from Biden, open borders, you know, known terrorists, cartel members, gang members, murderers, rapists. | |
| All right, that's not bad. | |
| That's bad enough, you know, in terms of our own national security. | |
| It was the biggest preventable national security disaster in our country's history. | |
| Then he then he has to inherit the disaster in Gaza and the disaster that is Iran. | |
| And according to published reports and public information, they're on the precipice of having a nuclear weapon. | |
| Now he's got to make a really tough decision. | |
| He was asked in an interview as well on Friday, and he told Time magazine that he will very willingly lead the U.S. attack into attacking Iran's nuclear facilities if the regime does not make a deal to stop their program. | |
| He's pretty unequivocal about it. | |
| Now, he's optimistic that he can make a deal too. | |
| He believes he's the consummate deal maker, and hopefully in both places he will be successful. | |
| It's not a given, but he's trying awfully hard, and he has his envoys trying hard and his cabinet members trying hard. | |
| He added that he had not stopped Israel from attacking Iran on their own, but made it but but had not made it comfortable for them to make that choice. | |
| He said, asked if Netanyahu would drag the U.S. into the war. | |
| He actually said no, the U.S. would lead the effort. | |
| You asked if Netanyahu would drag me in. | |
| Like, no, I'd go like I'd go unwillingly. | |
| No, I'd go in very willingly if we can't get a deal. | |
| If we don't make a deal, I'll be leading the pack. | |
| Now, why is he right on that and and other naysayers wrong? | |
| Is because then you're looking at radical Islamists of the worst kind that believe in a caliphate, you know, the 12th imam, convert converter die ideology, strap bombs on uh on young kids, and and have them detonate them and kill innocent men, women, and children and promise them 72 virgins in heaven, the people that have been chanting death to Israel, death to America. | |
| So again, a hard problem. | |
| House Republicans are right on the issue. | |
| We've got to spend More on national defense. | |
| They're planning to increase defense spending by 150 billion in their budget. | |
| That would be the reconciliation, one big beautiful bill, which will codify the president's, you know, the beginning of his agenda on the economy, taxes, defense, border security. | |
| And that's going to hit the floor by Memorial Day weekend. | |
| And probably we're going to need we're going to have a lot of Republicans that are not going to love it. | |
| And by the way, the funding will go to twelve key areas: shipbuilding, the Golden Dome, Missile Defense Pro. | |
| He wants a dome over the entire country, which might end up one day being his greatest legacy. | |
| Nuclear weapons modernization, air superiority, border security, military intelligence, and deterrence. | |
| I mean, again, all of this happened on Biden's watch. | |
| Biden made the mullets in Iran on the brink of bankruptcy rich again. | |
| Great job, Joe. | |
| On the issue of some economic issues we have today, because we've had what, three or four pretty big days on Wall Street, somewhat flat, but up today. | |
| The last time I looked, I haven't looked in a while. | |
| But now we're up to inching towards since Donald Trump brought forth his tariff threat, $10 trillion in committed investments. | |
| That's real money. | |
| Because these countries know he means it. | |
| And he even said on his way, he's he said it to the Pope's funeral that he thinks that you know they're they're close to getting deals with Japan. | |
| And I know they're they're talking about Australia and Taiwan and Korea. | |
| Uh he's going to meet with the Prime Minister of Italy again. | |
| And we know we're close to a deal with uh Great Britain, et cetera, et cetera. | |
| Apple, by the way, announced that they're moving its production facilities for iPhones sold in the U.S. from China to India. | |
| And Apple plans to move the assembly of all iPhones sold in the U.S. from China to India by the end of next year. | |
| They're moving pretty quickly because they see the handwriting's on the wall. | |
| Now, if you don't think the Chinese are getting hurt by this, they are. | |
| Financial Times had an interesting piece. | |
| The factories across China scaling back operations, sending workers home, halting production lines as U.F. tariffs imposed by Donald Trump squeeze Chinese exports. | |
| As much as you know, the argument can be made, well, we need some of their rare earths. | |
| We do. | |
| But they need access to our markets also. | |
| And if if the if and and I think ultimately then there it will be a little painful. | |
| But what's the choice? | |
| You either accept being tariffed to death and ripped off and abused by countries, friend and foe, or you draw a line in the sand and say, no, we're going to stand up for American workers, amen your American manufacturing, and we're not going to be so dependent on you. | |
| And it might take a little bit of time to get used to the new normal. | |
| It's not going to be when we're going to the store shelves will be empty. | |
| The stock market's going to crash. | |
| Let's see what he does. | |
| Jaboney, the Greek yogurt maker, they're investing 1.2 billion, building a third dairy processing plant in the U.S. And this one is going to Joe Bonnie. | |
| Is that how you say it? | |
| I like their blueberry yogurt. | |
| It's really good. | |
