This is an iHeart podcast.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz and I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is 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 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 with 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.
Thanks, 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 as 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 $1,000 to every Biden Harris Majorcas 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 $1,000 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.
If you think that, well, why are we rewarding this?
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.
That means that we're not going to be providing free health care and education for their kids.
And they're not going to be in our criminal justice system.
The Department of Homeland Security 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 flights.
And the stipend is projected to be about $4,000, will be safer for ICE and preserve their resources.
And 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 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. 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 register to self-deport will immediately be deprioritized for ICE 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 an illegal alien to fly back to Honduras from Chicago with more tickets booked this week.
And so the bottom line from Secretary Noam 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, 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, too.
It's a part of it that's very, very entertaining to me.
I'm not sure if we have David Hoag.
He just, this guy cracks me up.
He's now saying, now he's the vice chair of the DNC, the Democratic National Committee.
This guy, Ken Martin, the chairman of the committee, has tried to say, oh, no, we're not going to challenge.
Hoag is David Hogg is out there saying that he's going to raise all this money to challenge incumbent Democrats, 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, sucking is something that is not limited to being above a certain age, right?
Who's in there 30s?
Who sucks?
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 mean, 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 die-hard Democrat or die-hard Republican.
If there were a Democratic 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 next one.
He's saying yes.
It's immediately yes.
No, I'm sorry.
If you had to do it all over again, would you vote for Donald Trump?
Yes or no?
1,000%, absolutely yes.
All right.
So 100% absolutely.
Let them 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 going to hear from Hakeem Jeffries.
You're not going to hear from Chuck Schumer because they are afraid of their own, 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 100 days of any president in history.
Mr. Minority Leader, you happen to have the lowest number of any previous minority leader.
Your current approval rating, 17%.
Oh, polls come and go.
The polls this week show Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating since they started polling 80 years ago.
The lowest.
Yes, yes.
There's a poll out today that has your approval ratings lower than any other congressional leaders at 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 and 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.
One thing on a side note 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.
John Fetterman, you know, he mostly voted against Trump nominees.
He's not become a liberal, I mean, a conservative overnight.
But now that he has supported Trump on a couple of issues, like Israel, like border security, all of a sudden, there's story after story after story.
People in his office, they are quitting and they're leaving, and they're trying to blame the fact that the stroke that he had suffered back in 2022 and was followed by a subsequent bout 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 bit of a mental, emotional struggle to the extent watching him that he's been able to recover.
It's 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 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 would have the ability to garner the vote, which is the Democratic base, which is hardcore, woke, radical, Green New Deal, transgenderism, woke-ism, LGBTQ plus-ism party.
That's who they are.
Anyway, in the case of Fetterman, isn't it odd the same people weren't complaining about Fetterman's stroke three years ago when it left him unable to answer questions during a Senate campaign debate?
And to Dr. Oz's credit, I don't think he could have been nicer to the guy because he's a medical doctor and he understands how hard that must be on him.
But now that he's pretty much fully recovered, and I've had conversation, 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 any real substance.
But 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 say, well, it looks like there might be signs of a relapse of some kind.
And it's associated cost is being associated 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 profiles reporting was evident across social media and political talk programs.
He needs to resign the bulwarks.
Jonathan Lest said, a supporter of the senator who wrote that he was the first person to suggest that John Fetterman could run for president.
Anyway, the secret podcast, a 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.
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 Hegseth.
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, quote, fighting with his wife and crying while FaceTiming with staff.
My vote on Pete Hagset, my no vote on Pete Hegseth speaks for itself.
The rest is conjecture.
You know, he said, and all these people that supported this guy, when 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.
Now we can't negotiate with the guy.
Now we can't talk with the guy.
But this is now the modern Democratic Party.
I mean, it happened this weekend.
Senate, Democrats now are skeptical about, that were 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.
One other interesting note, this was in Axios.
White House, I'm sorry, House Democrats are privately mad about their party's inability to hold down committee leaders due not just to advanced age, but also ambition.
The day after Jerry Connolly of Virginia said he would 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 poor AOC 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 you don't even know what you're doing about the genocide and violence.
You're a lawyer.
Are we even super pissed off at you?
But we have some rebels here, which is that please wait for the Q ⁇ A.
Now, by the way, we were going to send somebody to this town hall and film it for the TV show.
And it was pretty interesting that unless you're a constituent in the district and prove as much, you're not getting in the door.
I thought that was pretty interesting.
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, Tom Holman, then acting director of ICE, because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutionally guaranteed protection.
And he may want to do it again today.
And to that, I say, come for me.
Well, maybe they won't come for her.
And remember, you might recall at the time she had your know your rights webinar in February that impedes ICE from carrying out the president's deportation notices.
And it has a lot of recommendations, etc.
All right, 800-941.

When I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of 10, 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.
This is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.

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, this is where I get all of my morning news.
Absolutely.
So you get your morning news from The View, that hard-hitting news show.
100%.
It'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 list it.
Always have it.
No, no, you've made a big deal.
You're becoming a Christian, and you're going to let that thing happen.
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.
Jesus said to love thy neighbor as thyself.
He said, Yeah, I don't love my neighbor.
My neighbor is 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 bottom.
The one on the left I like.
The one on the right's a moron.
All right.
Well, what about if somebody hits you in one cheek, you're supposed to turn and let them hit the other cheek?
First of all, nobody turn to the other channel.
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 don't know.
Wait, where did Jesus in the Bible ever talk about having a hate list?
He said just the opposite.
I'm not a hate list.
Jesus loves all of us.
We are all God children.
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.
He knows, but I think that God on the same time.
What do you mean he knows you're doing your best?
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 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.
I'm clinging to it.
I think it's clinging to me because people do really dumb things.
And then it's just a little bit of a distance.
No, now you sound like a liberal.
No, because you're making excuses for your behavior.
I have 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.
I love people 70 times.
If he lived next to this guy, trust me, he'd be like, you know what, Linda?
Don't go there.
Just stop.
Just stop by your head.
You got to stop.
When you're digging a hostage.
I think God would agree with me.
That's not based on his word.
No.
I think he would disagree with you.
I'm not saying that.
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.
That means like, I just, I just, that means that 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 going to tell me different the front.
Well, if you get a Tesla instead of that old crappy car that you gave a name to.
What's the Tesla got to do with it?
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.
You're not doing the way he drives.
Doesn't matter how he drives.
What does it do?
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 you should see the accident rate.
I gave the best.
Does it really answer 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, you got to listen to me.
Do you not understand what self-drive is?
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.
You're not going to be paying attention to the car in front of you, except that it won't matter because you're not.
Oh, forget it.
I'm losing patience.
Bro, you lost.
It's just like, I just can't win.
It doesn't matter.
You're going to cling to your hate list.
I'm not clinging.
It's just with me.
Comfortable.
So you are clinging.
But then 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 it.
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.
No, I am listening to Jesus' word, but I am living in 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 they give you an opportunity to grow and build your character.
They are.
They are teaching me.
Let me tell you something.
Despite an example, you want to do that.
They teach me patience.
A lot of them.
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 on a platform dive and you're looking down and the last thing you want to do 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 heights.
Okay, follow my example and stop being distracting.
But that's a real answer.
That's a liberal tech.
No, it's not.
I'm never getting on the diving board.
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.
Makes sense.
I've never given them.
I'm not acting.
No, you have not.
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 I'm not.
You choose to cling to your hate list and make rationalizations and justifications, kind of like a little bit of a child.
I guarantee your entire audience has somebody in their lives.
My audience.
My audience that wishes they were it and they don't like.
Well, not liking somebody is not.
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.
It doesn't mean you have to hang out with them, but like, 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.
I want no party.
It's a big day.
Trump DOJ sues Colorado for interfering with immigration enforcement.
Good.
Lawsuit filed Friday.
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, the Department of Justice filed similar lawsuits in Rochester, New York, in Chicago, and 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.
ICES swooped in to take custody 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 at 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 room.
The mother woke to see the window blinds rustling and heard the girl yelling 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 originally and robbery and arson and with abduction with intent to defile.
Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney steadily reduced the charges, eventually reaching a plea deal that called for less than two years in prison.
All right, put him in prison.
3,200 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, after the Knicks 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 Foxnews.com, something is rotten with the big apple explaining why they moved to Florida.
Anyway, the nonpartisan New York-focused Citizen Budget Commission did a study of 150,000.
Why don't I ever get chosen for these studies?
That fled New York for Florida with about 50,000 leaving Florida for New York City.
Only people I know that do that only for work reasons or family reasons that they can't get out of.
Anyway, they went on to explain.
I won't mention a conversation I had with a prominent Democratic figure in New York.
You know what he says?
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.
It's gross.
It's disgusting.
It's to the point where you can't even live there.
No, you can't.
By the way, did you see Fake News CNN asking a message?
Interviewing Sinaloa 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, the ratings go up and down and so on and so forth.
All right.
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 his proof.
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 drudgery for it.
Well, and then they put those, I don't know if you know, when you 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 they're 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 apparently some networks are trying to pixel out the pictures that the White House put up there.
That's how insane the media has gotten.
60 Minutes tries to paint Trump as a threat to the country's legal system amid a lawsuit.
You know, Scott Pelley, he's really getting tough.
John Penn compares Trump to a spouse murderer.
He might destroy the world.
He 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 and his solipsism may have that relationship with the world and that this destruction is improper.
By the way, I got to give.
I feel bad for David Portnoy of Barstool's 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, Barstool-Sampson Street, usually a great fucking 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 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 top.
I was like, I'm going to 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?

When 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?
