Join us every Tuesday and Thursday normally 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 Dow, 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.
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.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program is 800-941 Sean.
If you'd like to join us, we got a lot to get to with immigration today.
The Trump administration now offering a thousand dollars to every Biden Harris Majorcus illegal who volunteers to self-deport in a free plane ride home.
And what they're going to do is they will begin paying for commercial flights of these illegals who self-deport.
And they'll pay them a thousand dollars once they are confirmed to have left the country.
And they will have an opportunity if they want to try to come back legally to do so, which I think will incentivize a lot of them.
Uh if you think that, well, why are we rewarding the we're not rewarding this behavior?
We're saving money.
That means we're not going to have to fight them in the courts, which will cost tens and thousands of dollars per case.
Uh, that means that we're not going to be providing uh free health care and education for their kids and and they're not going to be in our criminal justice system.
Uh the Department of Homeland Security estimate estimate is this will save taxpayers 70% that they are currently spending on average over 17,000 to arrest, detain, and deport a single person from the U.S. while paying for self-removal and and flights.
And the stipend is projected to be about $4,000 will be safer for ice and preserve their resources.
And uh I had actually come up with this idea all on my own, Linda.
I don't know if you remember a while back, and I'm I I was pretty passionate about it because I think it makes sense.
But illegal aliens must register on the CBP home app, file their notice to leave the U.S. Uh to be able to get in this program, and the stipend will only be paid once they're confirmed to have left the U.S. DHS tells us any aliens who've registered a self-deport will immediately uh deprior be deprioritized for Iced arrests and maintain the ability to return to the U.S. legally in the future.
DHS says they have successfully tested out the financial assistance recently, paying for any illegal illegal alien to fly back to Honduras from Chicago with more tickets booked this week.
And so the bottom line from Secretary Gnome shall be on Hannity tonight.
If you are here legally, self-deportation is the best, safest, most cost-effective way to leave the U.S. to avoid arrest.
DHS is now offering illegal immigrants uh illegal aliens, financial travel assistance, a stipend to return to their home country through the CBP Home app.
This is the safest option for law enforcement and a 70% savings for U.S. taxpayers.
Download the CBP home app today and self-deport.
In other words, get out of here.
You broke our laws.
You didn't respect them.
You didn't respect our borders.
You didn't respect our sovereignty.
And now it would be time for you to go home.
We have a lot of other news on illegal immigrants, we're also going to get to today.
It is amazing to watch this meltdown among Democrats continue to.
I it it's it's a part of it that's very very entertaining to me.
I'm not sure if we have David Hoke.
It's he just this guy cracks me up.
Um he's now saying now he's the vice chair of the DNC, the Democratic National Committee.
This guy Ken Martin, uh, the chairman of the committee has tried to say, oh no, we're not going to challenge Hogue is David Hogg is out there saying that he's going to raise all this money to challenge incumbent Democrats, um, ripping his own party, saying that the party sucks.
Listen.
You say equipped to fight, what exactly does that mean?
What it looks like is making sure one that they're actually able to show up at their committee hearings, making sure that they're for one, showing up at town halls and they're talking to their constituents about what is going on in their districts.
But for each candidate or for each elected official, it looks different, right?
And let me be clear.
I'm not just saying, well, if you're above a certain age, you shouldn't be there.
Unfortunately, uh sucking is something that is not limited to being above a certain age, right?
Um sucks, right?
What we're talking about is making sure that there are people that are here ready to fight and meet this moment and to build the future of the Democratic Party in our safer blue seats, where we see incredible young people like Congressman Maxwell Frost who've been elected, people like AOC and others.
I I mean, it would it's it's getting hilarious.
It was funny.
Van Jones did a town hall on fake news CNN and he was speaking with African American Trump supporters, and then he asked the magical question, would you still vote for Trump?
Listen to how that went out.
If you had to do it all over again, would you vote for Donald Trump again, yes or no?
Yes, I would.
Now, in the future, I am not a diehard Democrat or diehard Republican.
If there were a Democratic um candidate who was more aligned for me, then I would vote Democrat.
If you go back in time, would you vote for Donald Trump?
Yes or no.
Yes.
I think I might know the answer on this.
She said yes.
It's immediately yes.
No, I'm sorry.
Um if you had to do all over again, uh, would you vote for Donald Trump, yes or no?
1,000% absolutely yes.
All right.
So a hundred percent absolutely let him stay in this fight.
Because they're now fighting among themselves.
And the bigger part of the fight is how many people won't engage in it.
You're not gonna hear from a Hakeem Jeffries, you're not gonna hear from Chuck Schumer, because they are afraid of their own the the base of their own party.
I don't think there was any more embarrassing moment last week.
Chuck Schumer and he's got the lowest approval rating for a hundred days of any president in history.
Mr. Minority Leader, um, you happen to have the lowest number of any uh previous minority leader, your current approval rating 17%.
All polls come and go.
The polls this week show Trump has the lowest hundred-day approval rating since they started polling eighty years ago.
The lowest.
Yes.
There's a poll up today that has your legal readings voting any other congressional leaders.
17%.
Are you concerned that he may be a liability for your party?
Polls come and go.
Our party is united.
We're on our front foot.
We're stepping forward, going after Trump and having real success.
But you have the lowest approval rating of anyone in Congress.
Polls come and go, they're meaningless.
They don't really mean anything.
Um that is interesting to watch that I think is very revealing about the Democrats and who they really are is what they're doing to John Fetterman.
John Fetterman, now he has been very outspoken in his support of Israel.
John Fetterman has been critical of his own party.
John Fetterman has talked about securing the borders.
Uh John Fetterman, you know, he's he he mostly voted against Trump nominees.
He's not he's not become a liberal, uh I mean a conservative overnight.
But now that he is Supported Trump on a couple of issues, like Israel, like border security.
Uh all of a sudden this story after story after story, people in his office, they are quitting and they're leaving, and they're trying to uh blame the fact that he the stroke that he had suffered back in 2022 and and was followed by a subsequent vowed of depression.
You know, it might be hard for somebody if after you have a stroke and you're having a hard time communicating.
I could find that a little bit depressing and a little little bit of a mental emotional struggle uh to the extent watching him that he's been able to recover.
It's uh been actually frankly miraculous in so many ways.
And now they want him to resign.
Now, why do you think that is?
Because he's not hardcore left enough.
And he's like a canary in the coal mine for any Democrat that wants to take on this radical party.
And uh and pay close attention to this because people say, No, the Democrats they'll straighten it out.
I'm like, no, I don't see that happening.
I don't see or hear many moderate voices in the Democratic Party.
And if they did run, I don't see that they they would have the ability to garner the vote, which is the Democratic base, which is hardcore, woke radical, Green New Deal, transgenderism, wokeism, uh, LGBTQ plus ism uh party.
That's who they are.
Anyway, in the case of Fetterman, isn't it odd the same people weren't complaining about Fetterman stroked three years ago when it left him unable to answer questions during his Senate campaign debate, and to Dr. Oz's credit, I don't I don't think he could have been nicer to the guy because he's a medical doctor and he understands how how hard that must be on him.
But now that he's pretty much fully recovered and occasionally and I've had converse I had a conversation with John Fetterman off the record once, and it was very pleasant.
It was nothing and no news to report, nothing of of any real substance.
But uh when fet when Fetterman was hospitalized, many on Capitol Hill celebrated as a moment of courage, a willingness to be open about mental health struggles, and now all of a sudden they they say, well, there's there looks like there might be signs of a re relapse of some kind,
and it's uh associated cost is being associated with with him, according to a deeply sourced profile on Fetterman that was published Friday in the New York magazine's intelligence here by some reporter.
Anyway, Democrats on Capitol Hill have yet to comment, but the shock from the profile's reporting was evident across social media and political talk programs.
He needs to resign the Bulwarks, uh Jonathan Lass said, a supporter of the senator who wrote that he was the first person to suggest that John Fetterman could run for president.
Uh anyway, uh the secret podcast uh podcast co-hosts with Sarah Longwell, these are not people that I even know who they are, but anyway, agreed, called the piece's revelations career ending.
Uh according to the report, Fetterman continues to struggle with the burdens of his office, and in January, days after Trump's inauguration, you know, melted down with despondency over whether or not to support Pete Heggseth uh ahead of the vote.
The senator, according to a staffer, raised the possibility of abandoning D.C. and refusing to vote at all.
He spent the day locked in his office, uh, quote, fighting with his wife and crying while FaceTiming with staff.
My vote on Pete Heggs, my no vote on Pete Hegseth speaks speaks for itself.
The rest is conjecture.
You know, he said, and all these people that supported this guy, when he ri he really at one point could not speak.
You know, now that he's become a lone voice saying that his party's insane, and then God forbid, because he also called for the destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities.
No, no, now we can't now we can't negotiate with the guy.
Now we can't talk with the guy.
But this is now the the modern Democratic Party.
I mean, it happened this weekend.
Senate Democrats now are skeptical about that we're skeptical about Kamala Harris making a run.
Apparently, now are cautiously opening the door for Harris in 2028.
Now, this could have been leaked by Harris, to be very honest with you, Because I thought her speech last week was absolutely atrocious.
But to watch the DNC fighting and their intramural squabbling is pretty interesting.
Um other interesting note, this was in Axios, White House, uh I'm sorry, House Democrats are privately mad about their party's inability to hold down committee leaders to not just to advance stage but also ambition.
The day after Jerry Connolly of Virginia said he would uh resign as ranking member of the House Oversight Committee.
The House Agricultural Committee ranking member Angie Craig launched a bid for Senate.
Both lawmakers widely admired by colleagues.
And now you have Jasmine Crockett stepping up to the plate.
She wants to be the leading Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.
That's James Comer's committee.
That's a serious committee.
There was a town hall this weekend, and uh poor AOC uh got interrupted, and somebody's screaming at her about genocide in Gaza and what a liar she is.
Let me play that for you.
We are to defend.
And I don't know what you're doing about the genocide in Gaza.
You are a part of the city.
Party.
The genocide.
I'm a part of the city.
What are you doing?
I'm a part of the city.
More than welcome people who disagree or are maybe even super pissed off with me.
for any issue to come.
But we have some ground rules here, which is that leads waiting for QA.
Now, by the way, we were gonna send somebody to this town hall and film it for the TV show, and it was pretty interesting that uh unless you're a constituent uh in the district and prove as much, uh, you're not getting in the door.
I thought that was pretty interesting.
Uh, there's a showdown looming as Tom Holman now is exploring the idea of a legal case against AOC for obstructing on the issue of immigration and enforcement.
You might recall this goes back a ways.
She is now daring Holman to come after her.
Here's what she said about that at her town hall.
When we first did one of these seminars, uh Tom Holman, then acting director of IS group, said that he was pregnant to refer me to the DOJ.
Uh, because I'm using my three speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutionally guaranteed protection, and you may want to do them again today.
And to that I say, come for me.
Well, maybe they won't come for her.
And remember, you might recall the time uh she had her your know your rights webinar in February that impedes ICE from carrying out the president's deportation notices.
Uh, and it has a lot of recommendations, uh, etc.
All right, 800-941.

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.

That hard-hitting news show, The View, the Biden Comeback Tour is now in full swing.
I'm thinking Joe might be considering running again.
I'm not sure.
I mean they're going to be.
So you get your morning news from the View, that hard hitting news show.
100%.
That's where I find out who I need to hate today.
Who's saying the dumbest thing ever?
I mean, really.
We're back to the hate thing.
The hate list is not a good thing to have.
Never left it.
Always have.
No, no, you you've made a big deal.
You're becoming a Christian and you're gonna let that.
First of all, I'm not becoming a Christian.
I've always been a Catholic.
Okay, you've been that's true.
That's why I say backsliding.
Yeah, take it.
Jesus, you know, said to love thy neighbor as thyself.
He said, Yeah, I don't love my neighbor.
My neighbor's actually really freaking annoying.
He drives me insane.
He's an idiot, but you know.
What if your neighbor's listening to the show?
I hope he is.
He's an idiot.
What happened to turn the other cheek?
The one on the right, not on the left.
The one on the left I like.
The one on the right's a moron.
All right.
Well, what about if somebody you know hit you in the one cheek, you're supposed to turn and let them hit the other cheek?
First of all, nobody's in the cheek.
All right.
First of all, I'm not getting that close.
Love God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul, and your neighbor as yourself and love and treat others the way you want to be treated.
Whatever happened to God, and I do treat people the way I want to be treated, but I'm not sure.
Wait, where did Jesus in the Bible ever talk about having a hate list?
He said just the opposite.
But but he said love others as I have loved you, and he didn't hate anybody, and he had every reason to hate a lot of people.
What do you mean he knows you're doing your best?
You you're saying you can't get rid of your hate.
You're addicted to your hate list.
You can't get rid of it.
I didn't I didn't say I was addicted to my hate list, I just said it never left.
You're clinging to your hate list, and I'm saying clinging to it.
I think it's clinging to me because people do really dumb things, and then if you're not going to be able to do it.
No, now you sound like a liberal.
No, because you're making excuses for your behavior.
No, no, excuses.
I own it fair and square.
I'm not denying it.
But isn't it contrary to the words of Jesus?
No, Jesus said, love thy neighbor as I have loved you.
Sure.
All right.
I'm doing my best.
But you know, Jesus is a very good thing.
If you live next to this guy, trust me, he'd be like, you know what, Linda?
I feel like that's rough.
Don't go there.
Just stop.
Just stop by your head.
You gotta stop.
When you dig in a host.
I I that's not based on his word.
No.
I think he would disagree with you.
I'm not saying it's a good thing.
There's the word of God, and then there's everyday life, and I'm doing my best.
Oh boy.
I'm doing my best.
I we got an mm-hmm.
That means like uh I'm I just I just that means I can't.
If anybody has ever been behind the guy doing below the speed limit in the left lane, they were not loving their neighbor as they love themselves on that day.
And if anybody's gonna tell me different the front.
If you get a Tesla instead of that old crappy car that you gave a name to Tesla got to do with it.
You can hit this because you can hit auto drive and you won't have to worry about the guy in front of you.
You just sit back and enjoy the riding.
Doesn't matter how he drives when you drive Tesla.
I'm still stuck behind the moron in the left lane.
Okay, you don't have to worry about it because your Tesla will handle it for you.
What is it doing for me?
How is it handling it?
It'll drive you, and it's it's it's uh you should see the accident rate.
I gave the case.
No, it really answered that question.
Is it talking to the car in front of me and saying, hey, you you're in the wrong lane.
This is for you know, moving ahead.
Please get to your right.
No, no, listen, you gotta listen to me.
It's do you not you're not under understand what self-drive is.
Uh I have no idea what self-drive has to do with the car in front of me and making that person move out of that.
Because you're not gonna be paying to the attention to the car in front of you, except that it won't matter because you're not oh forget it.
I'm I'm losing patience.
Bro, you lost it.
It's just like I can't, I just can't win.
It doesn't matter.
You're gonna cling to your hate list till I'm not clinging.
It's just with me.
Come for you.
You are clinging.
You do then you you're saying you don't have a choice.
You do have a choice.
You don't have to have a hate list.
Get rid of the hate list.
Stop hating on people.
I have to hate a lot of people.
You're better.
I'll even take it a step further.
You're better than that.
No, I'm not.
Nope.
Definitely not.
You could be.
If you wanted to be, you could be.
I don't want to be.
Okay, then that's it.
Then you're choosing not to follow Jesus' words.
And again, no, I am listening to Jesus' word, but I am living in uh, you know, Satan's paradise of earth.
And people act like morons.
So I have to look at them.
I'm not saying that there aren't morons, but the you know, they give you an opportunity to grow and build your character.
Oh, they are teaching me.
Let me tell you something.
Despite me give you an example.
A lot of okay.
So you can't be courageous unless a moment that requires courage comes along.
Let's say you have a fear of heights and you're on the high you're you're on a platform dive and you're looking down, and the last thing you want to do is is jump off that platform into that water, and you're scared to death.
Okay.
That would take courage for you to do that, right?
Or I could sit poolside like a normal person who has a fear of the follow my example and stop being distracting.
You know, that's a real answer.
That's a liberal ta no, it's not never getting on that diving board ever.
If you want to be courageous and do something that is out of your comfort zone, and one of those things are that you're afraid of heights, and you'd be afraid to jump off the platform, but you make the decision that you want to be courageous.
You can't be courageous until you're in a position that requires courage.
Well, it's the same analogy.
You can't get better and forgive people unless they give you a reason to need to forgive them.
Mm-hmm.
I have forgiven them.
I'm not I'm not acting.
Oh, you have not.
You you cling to it like manna from hell.
Come on, stop.
I'm telling you right now, I'm not clinging to anything.
People are morons, which means that they're not going to be able to do that.
You choose to cling to your hate list and make rationalizations and justifications, kind of like a liberal.
I guarantee your entire audience has somebody in their audience.
My audience that wishes they were it and they don't like.
Well, not liking somebody is is not a good thing.
Also remember, what's the rule?
You know, I like my children, I don't like everybody else's.
It's kind of the same thing for God.
You know, we're all God's children.
He likes us because we're his.
But that doesn't mean that I have to like all of God's children.
Some of his kids I don't like so much, you know.
Like, I'm okay with my kids, but I don't want those kids.
You know what I'm saying?
That's a good analogy.
That makes sense.
It doesn't mean you have to it doesn't mean you have to hang out with them, but like I'm I'm getting I'm I'm getting rid of all the hate in my life.
I'm done.
Good for you.
I don't want it.
I don't want any of it.
It's a big day.
Trump DOJ sues Colorado for interfering with immigration enforcement.
Good.
Lawsuit filed Friday.
Cl Colorado District Court accusing the state and its most populous city of implementing sanctuary laws in violation of the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Sound familiar?
We've talked about that supremacy clause in great specificity and detail about all these sanctuary states and cities.
Anyway, this the Department of Justice filed similar lawsuits in Rochester, New York, in Chicago, and uh challenging those rules.
Any illegal alien who allegedly tried to rape a four-year-old girl in Virginia was cleared for release by a prosecutor in a Democratic run Fairfax County.
ISIS swooped in to take custody of of this illegal, accused of trying to kidnap and rape a four-year-old after Fairfax County prosecutors dropped the case against this individual, a Honduran immigrant being held by ICE uh at uh Caroline detention center, Caroline County, according to court documents.
A man broke into the home of where this four-year-old and her mother were asleep in separate beds in a in a room.
Uh the mother woke to see the window blinds rustling and heard the girl yelling and from the living room.
The girl said a big man grabbed her from her bed and tried to carry her out, but apparently abandoned the plans when she started screaming.
They charged him with burglary with intent to commit murder.
And uh robbery and arson and with abduction with intent to defile Fairfax County Commonwealth attorney steadily reduced the charges, eventually reaching a plea deal to call for less than two years in prison.
All right, put him in prison.
Thirty two hundred Biden illegals have been busted for crimes in New York City shelters, including for assault, robbery, and sex crimes.
Did you see the article?
I don't know if it was on your version of the New York Post, because they ended up changing it later in the day, I guess, bec after the Nick score came in, but the early front page edition of the New York Post last week, take the money and run.
New York City alone, not New York State, lost $13.8 billion in income in just five years as the rich fled to my free state of Florida.
Tax the rich tax the rich, tax the rich.
We did.
Now, God forbid the rich leave.
Ex-New Yorkers have declared, according to Fox News.com, something uh is rotten with the big Apple explaining why they moved to Florida.
Anyway, the nonpartisan New York focused citizen budget commission.
Uh, they did a study of 150,000.
Why didn't they?
Why don't I have a get chosen for these studies?
That fled uh New York for Florida with about 50,000 leaving uh Florida for New York City.
The only people I know that do that only for work reasons or family reasons that they're they they can't get out of.
Um anyway, they they they went on to explain.
I won't mention of uh a conversation I had with a prominent democratic figure in New York.
You know what he said he called me a quitter.
I said, What do you mean I'm quitting?
I said, You quit me.
I said, nice try.
I said, New York changed.
I didn't change.
I said, I'm the same person I've always been.
And you guys got great.
It's gross.
It's disgusting.
It is uh it is it's to the point where you can't even live there.
No, you can't.
By the way, did you did you see fake news CNN asking a message?
Interviewing Cartel.
Uh cartel members, yeah.
Yeah, that one, the Sinaloa cartel gangster asking how he felt about Trump labeling him a terrorist.
I mean, what is wrong with these people over at fake news CNN?
Look, a lot the ratings go up and down and and so on and so forth.
All right.
They I am telling you, they consistently average throughout the day.
No more than like 350,000 people.
It's that bad.
You know, 400,000, 500,000 on a good day.
That's nationwide.
I mean, that's how bad it's gotten.
Michael Goodwin had a piece.
The press hates Trump more than it loves the truth and their hyperbolic fear-mongering.
We've seen as proof that the press has not changed.
You know, I noticed a lot of people are kind of freaking out because I guess the White House is doing their version of the drudger for it.
Well, well, and then they put those, I don't know if you know at the when you w walk in the White House gate, I think it's the I think it's the East Side.
I'm not sure, the East Side entrance.
When you walk in, it's where the front of the White House is, there's a gate on the side, and you walk past the gate, and then to the right are all these media outlets, and the little baby tents, and in the wintertime they have heaters in them, and they put behind every shot pictures of illegals that committed violent crimes, so that they can't, and then there's there's apparently some networks are trying to pixel out the pictures that the White House put up there.
That's how insane the media's gotten.
60 Minutes tries to uh pain Trump as a threat to the country's legal system amid a lawsuit.
You know, Scott Pelley, he's really getting tough.
Sean Penn compares Trump to a spouse murderer.
He might destroy the world.
He reminds resembles a jealous spouse who murders another partner.
Okay.
I do think it's a reasonable theory that Donald Trump is not unlike the spouse of someone who leaves him perhaps for another.
Who then murders their former partner because if they can't have her, nobody can.
And I think Donald Trump in his solipsism may have that relationship with the world, and that this destruction is improved.
I can't take it.
By the way, I gotta give I feel bad for David Portnoy of Barstools.
Play that really quick here.
He got so pissed off when he found an anti-Semitic message written inside one of his Barstool branded bars in Philly.
Listen.
All right, emergency press conference time.
So I'm getting ready to go to the Bet Gala, and all of a sudden my Phone the last hour or two, my phone's blowing up.
Our bar in Philadelphia, Barcelona Sampson Street, usually a great fing bar.
You know, bottle service, people buy drinks.
You get a sign.
There was a sign yesterday that said the Jews.
I've been shaking.
I've been so fing mad for the last two hours.
Like I instantly got on.
This is why the emergency press conference is late, because I was so over on top.
It's like I'm gonna f make it my life mission to ruin these people.
Wow.
I mean, can you blame him?
At least he's got a heart, a conscience, and a soul.
You know, and the Democratic Party stands silent in the light of all this, you know, institutionalized anti-Semitism.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
