On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Joel Berry, managing editor of The Babylon Bee and bestselling author, to discuss his unexpected journey from corporate sales to leading conservative satire. Berry shares how humor became a powerful tool to challenge wokeness and cultural absurdity, and why satire still matters in today’s polarized media landscape.
 
The conversation explores Berry’s books, the challenges and rewards of raising a large family with traditional values, and the role of faith, discipline, and perseverance in both personal life and cultural engagement.

The Karol Markowicz Show: Joel Berry on Satire, Faith, Family, and Fighting Wokeness

Your Money is Being Stolen
 
The discussion opens with new details on the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where a left-wing activist attempting to obstruct a federal immigration raid was fatally shot. Clay and Buck argue the shooting was justified, citing video evidence and the officer’s prior experience of being dragged by a suspect during a similar encounter. They criticize Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz for inflammatory rhetoric and highlight how Democrat leaders and activists are trying to replicate the chaos of the George Floyd era. The hosts underscore the hypocrisy of progressive narratives, noting that Minneapolis—once considered a safe city—saw its murder rate double during the height of BLM protests, with 94 murders in 2020 and 95 in 2021 compared to 48 in 2019. 
 
On the Ground in Minneapolis
 
The release of exclusive bodycam-style footage from the ICE officer’s perspective, published by Alpha News. Clay and Buck emphasize that the video confirms the officer acted lawfully in self-defense after the activist accelerated her vehicle toward him, refuting claims by Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz that the shooting was unjustified. The hosts argue that Democrat rhetoric and anti-ICE activism have created a dangerous environment where individuals obstruct federal law enforcement for social media clout, noting the partner’s audible command to “Drive baby drive” before the fatal moment.
 
On-the-ground reporting from Brecca Stoll of The Daily Wire adds depth to the discussion. Brecca categorizes protesters into three groups: brainwashed activists parroting woke jargon like “white tears,” aggressive agitators hurling insults such as “Nazis” and “terrorists,” and paid organizers who appear to operate on a schedule. She describes scenes at protest hotspots, including ICE field offices and downtown Minneapolis intersections, and warns of potential escalation over the weekend despite frigid temperatures. Brecca also exposes business backlash, citing a McDonald’s franchise that posted a sign banning ICE agents—a move quickly disavowed by corporate—and reports of hotels refusing service to federal officers. Clay and Buck frame these incidents as evidence of corporate America’s hypersensitivity post-Bud Light controversy.
 
Another Perspective on the ICE Shooting
 
The conversation then shifts to legal standards for use of force, with Buck leveraging his law enforcement training to explain why the shooting meets the criteria for a “clean shoot.” He outlines key principles of self-defense law, including reasonable fear of imminent harm and lawful scope of duty, underscoring that bodycam footage has become a critical tool in debunking false narratives. The hosts argue that body cameras have defeated BLM-style propaganda, proving that most officers act appropriately under extreme circumstances.
 
History Nerd-Out 
 
In a historical pivot, Brianna Lyman of The Federalist joins to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, the revolutionary pamphlet that galvanized colonial support for independence. Lyman explains Paine’s unique ability to translate Enlightenment ideals into language accessible to everyday colonists, making Common Sense the best-selling publication of 1776 after the Bible. She also recommends resources for history enthusiasts, including primary documents from John Adams and Hamilton, Joseph Ellis’s The Cause, and films like The Patriot and Gettysburg. Her “Countdown to Freedom” series offers bite-sized historical insights leading up to America’s semi-quincentennial, reminding listeners of the intellectual depth and religious foundation that shaped the founding era—qualities she argues are absent in today’s political leadership.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 9 2026

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with a packed agenda, blending breaking news, economic analysis, and global affairs. The discussion opens with new details on the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where a left-wing activist attempting to obstruct a federal immigration raid was fatally shot. Clay and Buck argue the shooting was justified, citing video evidence and the officer’s prior experience of being dragged by a suspect during a similar encounter. They criticize Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz for inflammatory rhetoric and highlight how Democrat leaders and activists are trying to replicate the chaos of the George Floyd era. The hosts underscore the hypocrisy of progressive narratives, noting that Minneapolis—once considered a safe city—saw its murder rate double during the height of BLM protests, with 94 murders in 2020 and 95 in 2021 compared to 48 in 2019.
 
The conversation then pivots to Chuck Schumer’s call to remove ICE from city streets, which Clay and Buck dismantle by comparing ICE operations to other law enforcement agencies like U.S. Marshals and gang units. They stress that enforcing immigration law is essential for public safety and argue that Democrat policies have emboldened lawlessness. The hosts also emphasize a simple but critical message: compliance with law enforcement prevents unnecessary tragedies.
 
On the economic front, the show delivers optimistic news: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent projects a potential Trump-era economic boom, with fourth-quarter GDP whisper numbers reaching 5.5% to 6%—levels of growth rarely seen in U.S. history. Clay and Buck explain how tariffs, balanced budgets, and record-high stock market performance signal unprecedented prosperity ahead. They caution, however, that public perception lags behind economic indicators, making communication a key challenge for the Trump administration in 2026.
 
Global affairs also take center stage as the hosts analyze Iran’s escalating protests, now in their 13th consecutive day amid soaring inflation and currency collapse. Clay and Buck credit Trump’s maximum-pressure strategy for weakening the regime and debunk myths from the Obama-Biden era that appeasement would stabilize the Middle East. They argue that eliminating Iran’s nuclear capabilities was essential for regional security and note that many Arab nations privately supported Trump’s strikes despite public posturing.
 
Hour 1 closes by framing Minneapolis as a cultural flashpoint for the woke mind virus, exposing the failures of progressive leadership and the real-world consequences of anti-police activism. From ICE enforcement controversies to economic optimism and foreign policy wins, this hour delivers sharp insights into the issues shaping America’s future.

Hour 1 - Your Money is Being Stolen

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers breaking updates and sharp analysis on the Minneapolis ICE shooting controversy, alongside cultural commentary that sparks listener engagement. The hour begins with the release of exclusive bodycam-style footage from the ICE officer’s perspective, published by Alpha News. Clay and Buck emphasize that the video confirms the officer acted lawfully in self-defense after the activist accelerated her vehicle toward him, refuting claims by Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz that the shooting was unjustified. The hosts argue that Democrat rhetoric and anti-ICE activism have created a dangerous environment where individuals obstruct federal law enforcement for social media clout, noting the partner’s audible command to “Drive baby drive” before the fatal moment.

The hosts argue that body cameras have defeated BLM-style propaganda, proving that most officers act appropriately under extreme circumstances.
 
Hour 2 closes with lighter—but fiery—listener-driven debates on regional food controversies, ignited by Clay’s takedown of Cincinnati chili and Buck’s critique of Philly cheesesteaks. Talkbacks flood in defending hometown favorites, while Clay doubles down on his claim that Skyline Chili is “atrocious.” The segment expands into playful banter about mozzarella-making classes, New York pizza, and culinary pride, blending humor with cultural commentary.
 
This hour combines breaking news on immigration enforcement and law-and-order issues with relatable lifestyle content, making it a must-listen for anyone tracking the intersection of politics, media narratives, and American culture.

Hour 2 - On the Ground in Minneapolis

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show closes the week with a mix of breaking news, historical reflection, and fiery political commentary. The hour begins with an update on the Minneapolis ICE shooting, as Fox News airs the bodycam footage showing the ICE officer firing in self-defense when an activist accelerated her vehicle toward him. Clay and Buck argue this video dismantles claims by Mayor Jacob Frey, Governor Tim Walz, and progressive media that the shooting was “murder.” They emphasize that left-wing activists are deliberately creating confrontational scenarios—blocking ICE operations, filming for social media, and provoking officers—to manufacture viral moments for political gain. The hosts warn that this tactic is dangerous, illegal, and incentivized by Democrat rhetoric, which they say undermines law enforcement and public safety.
 
The discussion expands to a similar incident in Portland, where two suspected Venezuelan gang members allegedly weaponized their vehicle against Customs and Border Protection agents. Oregon Governor Tina Kotek condemned the shooting as “unnecessary violence” and blamed the Trump administration, a stance Clay and Buck call reckless and politically motivated. They highlight the media’s selective skepticism, noting that critical details—such as the suspects’ gang ties and illegal status—are buried deep in coverage. The hosts argue that Democrats and activist networks want these flashpoints to escalate, comparing the obstruction of ICE raids to federal laws that harshly penalize blocking abortion clinics, underscoring what they see as hypocrisy in enforcement priorities.
 
In a historical pivot, Brianna Lyman of The Federalist joins to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, the revolutionary pamphlet that galvanized colonial support for independence. Lyman explains Paine’s unique ability to translate Enlightenment ideals into language accessible to everyday colonists, making Common Sense the best-selling publication of 1776 after the Bible. She also recommends resources for history enthusiasts, including primary documents from John Adams and Hamilton, Joseph Ellis’s The Cause, and films like The Patriot and Gettysburg. Her “Countdown to Freedom” series offers bite-sized historical insights leading up to America’s semi-quincentennial, reminding listeners of the intellectual depth and religious foundation that shaped the founding era—qualities she argues are absent in today’s political leadership.
 
The hour closes with listener talkbacks and cultural banter, featuring spirited debates over the worst liquor in America—Chicago’s infamous Malört tops the list—alongside Buck’s controversial critique of Philly cheesesteaks and Clay’s takedown of Cincinnati chili. These lighthearted exchanges provide comic relief after a week dominated by immigration enforcement controversies and political polarization.
 

Hour 3 delivers a powerful blend of law-and-order analysis, historical education, and cultural commentary, making it essential listening for those tracking immigration policy battles, media bias, and America’s enduring fight to preserve its founding principles.

Hour 3 - The Original Viral Content

In this episode, Ryan is joined by attorney, Marina Medvin to break down the legal and societal implications of the high-profile incident involving ICE agents in Minneapolis. The conversation examines what the law actually says about blocking or interfering with law enforcement, when officers are legally justified in using force, and how civilian actions can escalate already volatile situations.
 
The discussion also explores police training standards, split-second decision-making, and the broader costs—legal, political, and social—of confrontations between civilians and federal agents.

The Truth with Lisa Boothe: ICE Agent Shooting in Minneapolis: Jonathan Fahey on Sanctuary Cities, Law Enforcement, and Political Backlash

• 

Venezuela After Maduro: Trump’s Bold Move and Its Historic Impact on Latin America
 • 

The arrest of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, is more than a headline—it’s a seismic shift in the geopolitical landscape of the Western Hemisphere. In the latest episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson unpack the operation, its legal foundation, and its far-reaching consequences for U.S. national security and Latin America’s future.
 • 

The Operation That Changed Everything
 • 

“This was a military operation to execute an arrest warrant,” Cruz explained. “It was the military supporting the FBI and arresting indicted narco-terrorists, and it took a couple of hours and was over.”
 • 

Contrary to media hysteria, this was not an invasion or a “forever war.” Delta Force executed the mission with surgical precision, landing in a major metropolitan area, neutralizing threats—including 32 Cuban soldiers guarding Maduro—and extracting the targets without losing a single U.S. serviceman. As Cruz noted:
 • 
“They went in, they got them, and they left. That was the conclusion of the military conflict. It was about a two-hour war—and I wouldn’t even call it a war.” • 

This level of success underscores the importance of strong leadership and a military unshackled from bureaucratic constraints. “President Trump showed so much courage by ordering this attack because these things can go wrong a thousand different ways,” Cruz said.
 • 

Who Is Cilia Flores? The ‘Latin Lady Macbeth’
 • 

The mainstream media’s portrayal of Cilia Flores as a harmless spouse is laughable. Cruz dismantled that narrative:
 • 
“She is Maduro’s wife. She is also a lawyer. She’s a long-time Hugo Chávez loyalist. She’s a communist, she’s a Marxist, she is viciously anti-American. She was intimately involved in the narco-trafficking that Maduro was engaged in.” • 

Flores earned the nickname Latin Lady Macbeth for her behind-the-scenes influence. A former Venezuelan prosecutor described her as “a fundamental figure in corruption in Venezuela, absolutely fundamental, and especially in the structure of power.” Her nephews—dubbed the “narco nephews”—were convicted in the U.S. for cocaine trafficking intended to fund her political ambitions.
 • 

As Cruz put it bluntly:
 • 
“Sweet little old lady Attorney General narco-terrorist, drug trafficker. Other than that, she’s a sweet little old lady.” • 

The Monroe Doctrine Reborn: The ‘Donro Doctrine’
 • 

Why does Venezuela matter so much? Because hostile powers—Russia, China, Iran, and even Hezbollah—have used it as a beachhead in America’s backyard. Cruz explained:
 • 
“Going back to the earliest days of America, the Monroe Doctrine laid out that we are going to protect the Western Hemisphere. Donald Trump believes very much in the Monroe Doctrine—so much so that it’s now being widely referred to as the Donro Doctrine.” • 

This doctrine isn’t just historical—it’s vital for modern security. By removing Maduro, Trump sent a clear message: America will not tolerate Marxist regimes destabilizing our hemisphere.
 • 

The Ripple Effect: Cuba, Nicaragua, and Beyond
 • 

Maduro’s fall reverberates across Latin America. Cuba, long propped up by Venezuelan oil, now faces economic collapse. “The communist leadership there is looking around,” Cruz said. “They had 32 soldiers guarding Maduro. All 32 Cuban soldiers are dead. Not a single U.S. soldier lost his life. They’re sitting there going, ‘Okay, our days are numbered.’”
 • 

This could trigger a domino effect:
 • 

 Cuba • : Facing oil shortages and military humiliation.
 Nicaragua & Colombia • : Leftist regimes weakened.
 Brazil • : Lula’s socialist government under pressure.
 • 

As Cruz predicted:
 • 
“Every leftist in Latin America who hates America and hates President Trump is materially weaker.” • 

Mexico and the Cartel Crisis: A New Leverage Point
 • 

While Mexico isn’t a failed state, its cartel problem is undeniable. Trump’s success in Venezuela strengthens his hand in pressuring Mexico to act. Cruz shared a revealing anecdote:
 • 
“When Trump came in, I went to him directly and asked him to enforce the water treaty. He threatened Mexico with tariffs, and that night Claudia Sheinbaum called an emergency cabinet meeting. They released 400,000 acre-feet of water immediately.” • 

Expect similar tactics against cartels. As Cruz warned Mexican officials months ago:
 • 
“You guys are either going to go after the narco-traffickers—or Donald Trump will.” • 

What’s Next for Venezuela? Free Elections and Economic Revival
 • 

Critics fear U.S. occupation, but Cruz was unequivocal:
 • 
“We are not at war with Venezuela. This is not a forever war. It was an arrest with the military supporting law enforcement.” • 

The interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, is no friend of America—she’s a Marxist with a history of corruption. But for now, she’s cooperating. The ultimate goal? Free and fair elections.
 • 

Why does this matter? Because Venezuela’s resources—oil, gold, and minerals—could transform its economy overnight. “In 1950, Venezuela had the fourth-highest GDP per capita in the world,” Cruz reminded listeners. “That’s what these communists screwed up.”
 • 

Trump is already encouraging U.S. energy companies to invest, but stability is key. “If you don’t trust the government there to protect your property, you’re not going to invest,” Cruz said. Free elections and rule of law are essential.
 • 

The Conservative Case for Strength
 • 

This episode of Verdict highlights a fundamental truth: America is safer under strong leadership. Cruz drew a stark contrast between Trump and Biden:
 • 
“The world is safer when we have a strong commander-in-chief as compared to a weak commander-in-chief like Joe Biden.” • 

From taking out Soleimani to dismantling Maduro’s regime, Trump’s foreign policy has delivered results that protect American lives and interests.
 • 

Key Takeaways
 • 

 • Cilia Flores was a central figure in Venezuela’s corruption and narco-trafficking.
 • Trump’s enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine strengthens U.S. security.
 • Maduro’s arrest could trigger democratic reforms and economic revival.
 • The ripple effect may lead to greater stability—and freedom—across Latin America.
 • 

Stay Informed and Share the Truth
 • 

The mainstream media won’t tell you the full story—but Verdict with Ted Cruz will. If you believe in strong leadership, America First policies, and holding corrupt regimes accountable, here’s what you can do:
 • 

✅ Subscribe to Verdict with Ted Cruz on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts for in-depth analysis you won’t find anywhere else.

Verdict with Ted Cruz: Venezuela Victory part 2-Historically Transforming Latin America & What Happens Next

Poor Choices and Chaos
 
the fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis that has sparked nationwide controversy. Clay and Buck dissect the incident where a 37-year-old woman allegedly used her vehicle to obstruct federal immigration enforcement, resulting in her death. They emphasize video evidence showing the ICE officer acted in self-defense, countering claims from Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz, who labeled the shooting as excessive force and called for protests. The hosts argue this tragedy reflects a deeper problem within the Democratic Party’s anti-law enforcement rhetoric, which encourages dangerous confrontations with federal officers.
 
VP Vance Calls Out the Left
 
Live White House briefing featuring Vice President JD Vance and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who deliver a fiery defense of ICE and condemn the media for spreading “lies” about the incident. Vance asserts that the woman killed was part of a broader left-wing network aimed at obstructing immigration enforcement through doxxing, harassment, and even domestic terrorism tactics. He vows tougher federal action, including a new Assistant Attorney General role to prosecute those inciting violence against law enforcement. The briefing underscores the administration’s stance: enforcing immigration law is non-negotiable, and Democrats must stop rallying mobs against federal officers.
 
Good News for MAHA Moms
 
Guest Katie Zacharia joins to weigh in on the political fallout and broader implications. She highlights how sanctuary city policies and anti-ICE activism have fueled violence and fraud, citing California’s staggering $72 billion fraud scandal under Gavin Newsom and systemic failures in oversight. Katie calls for federal action, including suspending aid to jurisdictions violating the Supremacy Clause. The conversation shifts to California’s ongoing crises: wildfire recovery delays in Malibu and Pacific Palisades, where red tape and environmental regulations have stalled rebuilding efforts, leaving homeowners with plummeting property values. Katie also breaks down the proposed 5% billionaire wealth tax, warning it will accelerate the exodus of tech moguls and entrepreneurs from California while funding Medi-Cal programs strained by free healthcare for illegal immigrants. The hour also touches on RFK Jr.’s food pyramid overhaul and vaccine schedule changes, which have energized “Maha Moms” and even some liberal parents seeking reform in children’s health standards. Katie praises Trump for empowering RFK Jr. to challenge Big Pharma and promote healthier policies.
 
Audience Talkbacks!
 
Clay and Buck then pivot to lighter—but fiery—cultural debates, including regional cuisine hot takes and the “most overrated foods” in America. From Philly cheesesteaks and mint juleps to Puerto Rican Mofongo, the hosts don’t hold back, sparking laughs and listener engagement. They also revisit the nostalgia (and regret) of Jägermeister shots and Jägerbombs, contrasting them with underrated drinks like espresso martinis and sangria. The segment closes with talkbacks from listeners proposing which states or territories to “sell off,” adding humor to an otherwise intense news cycle.
