Verdict with Ted Cruz

• 

Criticism of JB Pritzker (Governor of Illinois):
The speakers argue that Pritzker downplays violent crime in Chicago despite high murder rates. They compare his leadership to officials in Mexico who claim progress while cartels commit violence unchecked.
 • 
 • 

Broader critique of Democrats:
Democrats are portrayed as favoring criminals over victims, ignoring rising crime, and pushing policies that weaken law enforcement. The conversation frames them as ideologically extreme and out of touch with public safety concerns.
 • 
 • 

Midterm election outlook (2025):
The senator and host discuss Republican opportunities in upcoming elections. They note Democratic fundraising strength but also claim voters are increasingly frustrated with crime and safety issues, which could benefit Republicans.
 • 
 • 

The “Clean DC Act”:
The senator introduces legislation to roll back a 2022 D.C. law that reduced penalties for violent crimes. The bill is framed as a test of whether lawmakers side with “criminals or citizens.”
 • 
 • 

Rumors about President Trump’s health:
A viral social media claim suggested Trump was dead or incapacitated because he wasn’t seen for a few days. The speakers mock Democrats and the media for allegedly celebrating or hoping it was true. Trump himself is quoted dismissing it as “fake news.”
 • 
 • 

Drug cartels in the U.S.:
The conversation highlights a DEA operation in New England that arrested 171 members of the Sinaloa cartel. They emphasize the cartel’s national reach, its trafficking of fentanyl, and the dangers counterfeit pills pose to young people. The epidemic of fentanyl deaths is portrayed as a direct result of “Democratic open border policies.”
 • 
 • 

Military and foreign policy against cartels:
The senator describes U.S. military operations in the Caribbean and Central America targeting drug traffickers, including deploying stealth jets and naval ships. He recounts visiting prisons in El Salvador housing violent gang members to illustrate cartel influence in U.S. communities.

Pritzker "Nothing to see here" on Chicago Crime, the Clean DC Act & Narcos in New England Week In Review

• 

Debate on the Source of Rights
 • 

 • 

The episode opens with criticism of Democratic Senator Tim Kaine, who argued in a Senate hearing that constitutional rights come from the government rather than from God.
 • 
 • 

Cruz frames this as a radical departure from America’s founding principles, citing the Declaration of Independence and Thomas Jefferson’s writings.
 • 
 • 

The discussion emphasizes that if rights come from government, they can be taken away, whereas God-given rights are “unalienable.”
 • 
 • 
 • 

Religion and the Democratic Party
 • 

 • 

Cruz and Ferguson argue that the Democratic Party is increasingly hostile toward people of faith (Christian, Jewish, Catholic).
 • 
 • 

They highlight responses from religious leaders, including Bishop Robert Barron, who strongly opposed Kaine’s remarks and defended the idea that rights come from God.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Border Security and the Cartels
 • 

 • 

The podcast shifts to the issue of border security and drug cartels, especially the Sinaloa cartel.
 • 
 • 

They cite a DEA operation in New England that arrested 171 cartel members in one week, seizing fentanyl and counterfeit pills.
 • 
 • 

Cruz and Ferguson warn about the danger of fentanyl-laced pills, especially for young people, describing it as a national epidemic and the leading cause of death among Americans aged 18–45.
 • 
 • 
 • 

U.S. Government Action Against Cartels
 • 

 • 

They discuss U.S. military and DEA efforts to combat cartels, including operations in Mexico, Venezuela, and the Caribbean.

 • 

Cruz praises the government’s recent designation of cartels as terrorist organizations and the deployment of military assets to fight drug trafficking.

Who We Are-Dems Abandon God & the Declaration of Independence plus Cartels in every Community in America

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.
 
 
 
Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
 
 
 
Winning Culture Wars
 
 
 
Clay highlights the record-breaking ratings of football and the success of American Eagle’s Sydney Sweeney ad campaign, which he views as emblematic of a broader cultural pendulum swinging back toward sanity, beauty, and Americana. This cultural shift, he argues, is closely tied to the popularity of President Donald Trump and a rejection of progressive narratives.
 
 
 
The hosts explore the impact of woke advertising agencies, particularly those on Madison Avenue, which they claim have pushed ideologically driven campaigns that alienate mainstream consumers. They cite examples like Bud Light and Cracker Barrel, arguing that conservative consumers are now influencing corporate decisions by voting with their wallets. The success of campaigns featuring traditional beauty and sports is seen as a rejection of androgynous and politically charged marketing.
 
 
 
Clay and Buck also discuss the strategic importance of winning the culture war, asserting that cultural victories are more impactful than policy debates. They call for continued pressure on corporations to align with conservative values and celebrate companies that do so, believing success will breed imitation.
 
 
 
Bodycams Work
 
 
 
Crime and public safety, with a focus on urban violence and the Trump administration’s tough-on-crime stance. A poignant clip from a Chicago grandmother underscores the desperation felt in high-crime neighborhoods and the desire for increased law enforcement presence. The hosts criticize progressive leaders for failing to protect vulnerable communities and highlight the disconnect between elite rhetoric and everyday realities.
 
 
 
Body cameras are praised for providing transparency and protecting police officers from false accusations. The hosts argue that footage often reveals restraint and professionalism in law enforcement, countering mainstream media narratives. They also discuss the psychological toll of police work and the importance of understanding the realities officers face.
 
 
 
Toward the end of the hour, Clay and Buck address a controversial report suggesting the Trump administration is considering banning gun ownership for transgender individuals, citing mental health concerns. They acknowledge the complexity of the issue, balancing Second Amendment rights with public safety, and note the political dilemma this poses for Democrats who advocate both gun control and transgender rights.
 
 
 
Vaccine Questions
 
 
 
A discussion centered on vaccine mandates, medical freedom, and cultural politics, with a strong emphasis on parental rights and skepticism toward the healthcare establishment. The hosts begin by spotlighting Florida’s move to eliminate all vaccine mandates under Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and Governor Ron DeSantis, framing it as a major win for medical autonomy and personal liberty. They criticize the COVID-era public health policies, especially mask mandates and vaccine coercion, calling out the authoritarian behavior of bureaucrats and airline staff.
 
 
 
Dr. Mehmet Oz joins the conversation, advocating for vaccine decisions to be made between doctors and patients, not dictated by government mandates. Clay and Buck reflect on their own parenting experiences, expressing concern over the increasing number of childhood vaccinations and questioning the pharmaceutical industry's influence. They discuss the rise in childhood allergies and illnesses, suggesting a link to overmedication and calling for a more holistic, risk-benefit approach to pediatric healthcare.
 
 
 
Politicizing Public Health
 
 
 
Dr. Nicole Saphier, Fox News analyst and host of “Wellness Unmasked” on the C&B Podcast Network reacts to the RFK Jr. Senate hearing, condemning the politicization of healthcare and calling for a return to data-driven, transparent public health policy. She highlights the erosion of trust in institutions like the CDC and HHS and urges a reevaluation of the childhood vaccine schedule, advocating for fewer shots and more nuanced messaging to combat vaccine hesitancy.
 
 
 
Dr. Sapphire also shares personal anecdotes, including her awkward first encounter with her now-husband, and promotes her podcast Wellness Unmasked, part of the Clay and Buck Podcast Network. The hosts wrap up the hour with humorous banter about bad dates, movie preferences—including The English Patient and Bloodsport—and Buck’s misadventures bathing his dog after a messy walk, adding a dose of comic relief to the show’s cultural and political depth.

 • 
 • 
 •

Trump Takes Out Venezuelan Narcoterrorists in Decisive Military Attack plus Stopping DC Crime & Trump is ALIVE!

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.
 
 
 
Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
 
 
 
Code Switching
 
 
 
Clay and Buck dive into the political and cultural landscape shaping the first fall of the Trump 2.0 presidency, highlighting the ongoing resistance from federal judges against the administration’s policies. The hosts criticize what they describe as partisan judicial activism, particularly rulings that attempt to block President Trump’s constitutional authority—such as deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles during immigration-related unrest. They emphasize how these decisions are often overturned by higher courts, including the Supreme Court, reinforcing Trump’s legal standing.
 
 
 
The show also covers a controversial case involving 76 unaccompanied Guatemalan children who were blocked from being reunited with their families in Guatemala by a federal judge. Clay and Buck frame this as an example of how judicial overreach is obstructing humanitarian efforts and immigration reform under Trump 2.0.
 
 
 
Call in the Guard!
 
 
 
A deep dive into the escalating crisis of urban crime in America, with a sharp focus on cities like Chicago, Washington D.C., and Memphis. They highlight the Trump administration’s proactive stance on law and order, praising President Trump’s efforts to reduce violent crime and carjackings while exposing the political resistance from Democrat leaders who, they argue, are failing to protect their constituents.
 
 
 
The conversation centers around the staggering statistic that 50 people were shot in Chicago over Labor Day weekend, prompting Clay and Buck to question why Democratic officials like Mayor Brandon Johnson oppose federal assistance, including National Guard deployment, to restore safety. They contrast Johnson’s slogan-heavy rhetoric with more pragmatic voices like Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough, who surprisingly called for bipartisan cooperation with Trump to address crime in Illinois.
 
 
 
The hosts also revisit the controversial remarks of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who suggested that increased policing would lead to too many arrests of black and brown individuals. Clay and Buck challenge this logic, emphasizing that the real victims of unchecked crime are often minorities living in high-crime neighborhoods. They argue that the true measure of safety is whether women and children can walk or jog freely in their communities without fear.
 
 
 
Commie Mamdani
 
 
 
The New York City mayoral race, scrutinizing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist. They dissect the New York Times’ attempt to downplay his ideology and warn that his proposed policies—like government-run grocery stores—could devastate the city’s economy and infrastructure. The hosts debate whether Mamdani is a true ideologue or simply an inexperienced politician who may struggle to implement his radical agenda.
 
 
 
The segment also includes reflections on past NYC mayors like Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg, and Bill de Blasio, comparing their leadership styles and impact on crime. Clay and Buck argue that Bloomberg’s business acumen and Giuliani’s law enforcement background made them effective leaders, while de Blasio’s progressive policies contributed to the city’s decline.
 
 
 
Doesn't Have to be This Way
 
 
 
Clay and Buck scrutinize Chicago’s violent crime epidemic, where Governor JB Pritzker dodges questions about the city’s safety following a weekend of 54 shootings and 7 deaths. Clay and Buck argue that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. has proven effective, and they challenge Democrats to explain their resistance to similar measures in cities like Memphis, St. Louis, and New Orleans.
 
 
 
The hosts dissect Mayor Brandon Johnson’s inflammatory rhetoric, including his call for citizens to “defend the land” against Trump’s law enforcement efforts. Clay and Buck criticize this as dangerous and historically inaccurate, noting that Chicago was not built by slaves or indigenous people, and that invoking such narratives undermines real solutions to crime. They emphasize the psychological deterrent effect of visible law enforcement and the success of plainclothes policing units in cities like New York.
 
 
 
The conversation shifts to the broader political implications of Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, highlighting how Democrats are increasingly boxed into defending the indefensible. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s actions are saving lives, even if those lives can’t be individually identified, and they call out the hypocrisy of Democrats who welcomed National Guard troops during COVID but now oppose them for public safety.

BONUS: Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Sep 2 2025

• 

U.S. Military Deployment: The U.S. Navy has increased its presence in the Southern Caribbean with 7–8 warships (including cruisers, amphibious assault ships, and a nuclear submarine), along with 4,000+ personnel and surveillance aircraft. The mission is presented as a crackdown on drug cartels.
 • 
 • 

Targeting Maduro: The U.S. government labels Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro a “narco-trafficker” and has raised the bounty for his capture to $50 million. His government is described as a “narco-state” producing large amounts of cocaine.
 • 
 • 

Maduro’s Response: Maduro has mobilized troops, armed citizens, and accused the U.S. of using anti-drug rhetoric as a cover for regime change and “gunboat diplomacy.” He warns of a “constitutional republic in arms” if attacked.
 • 
 • 

Public Reactions:
 • 

 • 

Some Venezuelans, especially opposition members, express cautious optimism and even “silent euphoria” at U.S. pressure, though fear retaliation at home.
 • 
 • 

Venezuelans abroad are more openly celebratory, praising Trump as a strong ally for democracy and regime change.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Wider Context:
 • 

 • 

The administration seeks to redefine drug cartels as terrorist organizations, allowing broader military and intelligence operations against them.
 • 
 • 

Commentary contrasts Trump’s proactive measures with Biden’s presidency, citing fentanyl deaths and cartel-related violence as urgent crises.

 • 
 
2. Domestic Politics & Crime
 
 • 

Cruz and Ferguson shift focus to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, criticizing him for downplaying crime in Chicago.

 • 
 • 

He frames Democrat policies in Illinois, California, and nationally as failures comparable to Mexico’s refusal to confront cartels.

On the Road in Mexico Urging the Mexican Government to get Serious about Defeating Cartels plus Dems Bemoan Trump's Fighting Violent Crime

In this episode of The Sean Hannity Show: 
 
 
 
Sean dives deep into the heartbreaking tragedy at a Minneapolis Catholic school, where two young lives were lost, and many others were injured. He expresses his justifiable anger at the predictable aftermath, where the left rushes to politicize these tragedies instead of addressing the root causes. Sean outlines real, common-sense solutions for preventing school shootings, like installing metal detectors and employing retired law enforcement to safeguard our children. He is relentless in calling out the hypocrisy of politicians who ignore the crime crisis while pushing open borders and sanctuary policies that endanger communities across America.

Extra: Tragedy Strikes Again - The Sean Hannity Show

• 

Supreme Court Ruling on DEI Grants
 • 

 • 

The Supreme Court ruled 5–4 in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to terminate $783 million in NIH diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related grants.
 • 
 • 

The decision centered on jurisdiction — the Court found that lawsuits over federal contracts must be filed in the Court of Federal Claims, not in district court.
 • 
 • 

Justice Amy Coney Barrett cast the swing vote: siding with conservatives to block the payouts but with liberals on preventing reinstatement of the DEI guidance policy.
 • 
 • 

Conservatives framed this as a victory against what they see as “ideological” grants, while critics warned of reduced research support.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Corporate “Woke” Backlash — Cracker Barrel Example
 • 

 • 

Discussion shifted to Cracker Barrel’s rebranding effort that downplayed its nostalgic Americana imagery.
 • 
 • 

The company faced backlash, similar to Bud Light and Target controversies, leading to stock declines.
 • 
 • 

After pressure from customers, investors, and even Donald Trump’s public comments, Cracker Barrel reversed course and reinstated its traditional branding.
 • 
 • 

This was framed as an example of market-driven resistance to corporate progressivism.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Senator’s Latin America Trip (El Salvador & Panama)
 • 

 • 

The speaker described travels to El Salvador, highlighting improved safety under President Nayib Bukele. This led to “reverse migration,” with Salvadorans abroad expressing interest in returning.
 • 
 • 

In Panama, focus was on the Panama Canal’s strategic importance and concerns about Chinese control over ports, infrastructure projects, and canal-adjacent facilities.
 • 
 • 

The senator warned that in the event of a U.S.–China conflict, Chinese influence in Panama could threaten U.S. economic and military logistics.
 • 
 • 

He urged Panamanian officials to push out Chinese companies and secure the canal with U.S.-aligned interests.
