Verdict with Ted Cruz

• 

Michigan Church Attack
 • 

 • 

The discussion opens with news of a violent attack at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan, where a man drove a truck into the building, opened fire, killed four people, injured ten, and set the church on fire.
 • 
 • 

The speakers frame the attack as part of a wider trend of violence against religious institutions, emphasizing hostility toward people of faith.
 • 
 • 

They highlight the quick response of law enforcement, using it to argue against what they see as Democratic “demonization” of police and ICE agents.
 • 
 • 
 • 

The “Schumer Shutdown”
 • 

 • 

Cruz and Ferguson repeatedly call it a “Schumer Shutdown,” arguing Democrats are deliberately causing it to appease their progressive base and avoid criticism from figures like AOC.
 • 
 • 

They claim Republicans offered a clean continuing resolution (CR) to keep government open, but Democrats opposed it for political reasons.
 • 
 • 

They warn of shutdown consequences, such as furloughed workers, closed national parks, and delayed paychecks, while also suggesting it could be an opportunity for Trump’s administration to terminate “deep state” bureaucrats in agencies like the EPA, IRS, and Labor Department.
 • 
 • 

The commentary portrays Democrats as inconsistent, citing their past statements opposing shutdowns.
 • 
 • 

 
 • 
 • 

Escalating Democratic Rhetoric and Its Effects
 • 

 • 

The episode then devotes significant time to Democratic leaders’ rhetoric about Republicans, ICE, and law enforcement.
 • 
 • 

It cites examples: Gavin Newsom calling Stephen Miller a fascist, Hakeem Jeffries describing Trump’s inauguration as a “supervillain convention,” and others comparing ICE to the Gestapo or slave patrols.
 • 
 • 

The speakers argue this rhetoric incites violence against conservatives and law enforcement, linking it to incidents like the assassination of Charlie Kirk and attacks on ICE facilities.
 • 
 • 

They present this as part of a broader Democratic strategy to delegitimize institutions like ICE, police, and the Supreme Court.

Schumer Shutdown-What to Expect plus Dem Rhetoric Keeps getting Worse, Inciting Violence & Endangering Law Enforcement

• 

Faith and Legacy of Charlie Kirk
 • 

 • 

The conversation opens with reflections on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death (presented here as a political assassination).
 • 
 • 

Speakers emphasize how his passing led to a surge in open conversations about faith, particularly Christianity, in political circles.
 • 
 • 

They describe memorial events where political leaders, including Donald Trump, focused more on God, unity, and faith than on politics.
 • 
 • 

Testimonies highlight Kirk’s role in conservative politics and his attempts to foster dialogue, even with opponents like Van Jones.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Unity and Political Dialogue
 • 

 • 

Several anecdotes stress how Kirk worked to bring together people from different camps (e.g., Trump and Elon Musk, Van Jones).
 • 
 • 

His death is framed as a catalyst for renewed hope, encouraging more civil discourse across political divides.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Criticism of Media (Jimmy Kimmel/ABC)
 • 

 • 

A significant section critiques Jimmy Kimmel and ABC News for misrepresenting Kirk’s assassin as a right-wing extremist.
 • 
 • 

The speakers argue law enforcement confirmed the shooter was a leftist with Antifa and pro-transgender affiliations.
 • 
 • 

They accuse Kimmel of spreading lies with serious consequences, though they oppose government censorship (via FCC), advocating instead for market accountability.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Comedy, Free Speech, and Bias
 • 

 • 

The transcript contrasts Jimmy Kimmel’s humor (labeled partisan and unfunny) with Jon Stewart’s satire, which they describe as genuine comedy—even when mocking conservatives.
 • 
 • 

They argue comedy should target all sides, not just serve as partisan attacks.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Dallas ICE Shooting
 • 

 • 

The conversation pivots to another violent attack: a gunman opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas, killing and injuring multiple people before committing suicide.
 • 
 • 

This attack is linked to rhetoric from left-leaning politicians and activists who have demonized ICE agents.
 • 
 • 

Speakers argue that inflammatory political rhetoric has “real consequences,” drawing parallels to Kirk’s assassination.

Charlie Kirk a Profession of Faith, Kimmel Off Kimmel On & the Rhetoric that Fires the Left to Violence Week In Review

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 takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
 
 
 
Radical Leftwing Violence
 
 
 
President Donald Trump meets with the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and addresses the press on multiple issues. The hosts analyze Trump’s remarks, including his blunt assessment of rising left-wing violence and his warning that radical rhetoric from Democrats is fueling domestic terrorism. The discussion shifts to the U.S. economy, highlighting a surprising 3.8% GDP growth in Q2, record-high stock prices, and falling interest rates. Clay and Buck break down how lower mortgage rates could unlock the housing market and why economic growth—not spending cuts—may be the only path to balancing the federal budget. They also touch on Elon Musk’s prediction that AI-driven innovation could help offset ballooning deficits.
 
 
 
Phony Comey
 
 
 
The conversation zeroes in on James Comey, the former FBI Director, as reports suggest possible criminal charges for lying under oath before the statute of limitations expires. Clay and Buck revisit Comey’s controversial role in targeting General Michael Flynn and his history of aggressive prosecutions, including the Martha Stewart case. They stress the importance of accountability to prevent the U.S. from descending into “banana republic” politics.
 
 
 
Autism and Tylenol
 
 
 
Dr. Mehmet Oz, now serving as CMS Administrator under President Trump and HHS Secretary RFK Jr., joins the show to discuss groundbreaking developments in autism research, including promising results from leucovorin therapy for children and emerging concerns about acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy. He emphasizes transparency in government health data and warns against overusing medications during pregnancy. 
 
 
 
The conversation explores the alarming rise in autism rates—now estimated at 1 in 31 children—and potential environmental and lifestyle factors, including allergies, chemical exposure, and older parental age. Dr. Oz underscores the need for urgent research and public awareness, noting that autism prevalence has increased fivefold in 25 years.
 
 
 
Nerding Out with Ryan
 
 
 
In-depth political analysis with guest Ryan Girdusky, host of It’s a Numbers Game. The discussion kicks off with the New Jersey governor’s race, where New Jersey Republican Jack Ciattarelli is gaining momentum against Democrat Mikie Sherrill. Despite Democrats’ historic voter advantage, recent polls show a tightening race, fueled by Sherrill’s controversies—including a viral debate stumble and a resurfaced Naval Academy cheating scandal from 1994. Girdusky explains how skyrocketing electricity costs, driven by data center energy demands, have become a top voter concern in both New Jersey and Virginia, shaping campaign strategies.
 
 
 
The conversation shifts to Virginia’s gubernatorial showdown between Republican Winsome Sears and Democrat Abigail Spanberger. Sears is focusing on cultural issues like transgender participation in women’s sports and locker rooms, while Spanberger avoids clear answers, offering vague responses that Clay and Buck criticize as political double-speak. The hosts argue that Democrats in purple states often run as moderates but govern as progressives, warning voters about the stakes in these off-year elections.
 
 
 
Next, attention turns to the New York City mayoral race, where progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani is the overwhelming favorite according to betting markets, despite a crowded field including Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams, and Curtis Sliwa. Girdusky predicts Mamdani’s win could have national implications for Democrats in the 2026 midterms, as his far-left policies on policing and immigration could become a liability for the party’s brand.

• 

James Comey Indictment
 • 

 • 

The episode centers on the claim that former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts of lying under oath to Congress.
 • 
 • 

Cruz and Ferguson argue that Comey falsely denied authorizing leaks to the press, while Andrew McCabe’s testimony and evidence suggest otherwise.
 • 
 • 

They frame this as proof that Comey politicized and weaponized the FBI against Donald Trump.
 • 
 • 

Comey’s public response is portrayed as political and deflective rather than factual.
 • 
 • 

The discussion also touches on the statute of limitations, prosecutorial strategy, and the likelihood of conviction.
 • 
 Comey indictment sparks fierce political reactions nationwide • 
 • 

Sniper Attack on Dallas ICE Facility (WATCH)
 • 

 • 

The podcast also covers a violent shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, described as politically motivated.
 • 
 • 

Cruz personally recounts being on the scene shortly after the attack.
 • 
 • 

The shooter is linked rhetorically to left-wing ideology and anti-ICE sentiment, with parallels drawn to other recent politically motivated shootings.
 • 
 • 

The hosts criticize Democratic leaders for “demonizing” ICE and argue that their rhetoric fuels such violence.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Political Framing
 • 

 • 

The episode repeatedly frames these events within a broader narrative of political weaponization, left-wing hypocrisy, and anti-Trump bias.
 • 
 • 

Cruz portrays Comey as a partisan actor, contrasting his own questioning of Comey with McCabe’s admissions.
 • 
 • 

Violence against law enforcement is positioned as a consequence of inflammatory rhetoric by Democrats.

Statements from Gavin Newsom, Jasmine Crockett, Michelle Wu, and others are highlighted as comparing ICE to authoritarian forces, slave patrols, Gestapo, or neo-Nazis.

BONUS POD: ICE Detention Center Attacked as Democrats continue Rhetoric Onslaught

• 

Kamala Harris’s Book Revelations
 • 

 • 

Harris reportedly wrote that she considered Pete Buttigieg as her first choice for VP but decided against him because being both a Black woman and having a gay running mate was “too big of a risk” politically.
 • 
 • 

She also considered Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro but claimed his being Jewish, combined with concerns about protests over Gaza, would hurt enthusiasm within the Democratic Party.
 • 
 • 

Critics in the show frame these choices as evidence of hypocrisy in a party that emphasizes “tolerance and inclusion.”
 • 
 • 
 • 

Reactions to Harris’s Explanations
 • 

 • 

The hosts argue that Harris blamed voter prejudice rather than policy failures for her struggles.
 • 
 • 

They suggest that her remarks expose bigotry within her own party, not among Republicans.
 • 
 • 

Rachel Maddow’s interview with Harris is highlighted, showing tension as Maddow pressed Harris on the “gay VP” issue.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Jimmy Kimmel Controversy
 • 

 • 

Kimmel allegedly spread misinformation by joking that Charlie Kirk’s killer was a right-wing extremist, when reports indicated the opposite.
 • 
 • 

ABC briefly pulled him, then returned him to air. Cruz and Ferguson critique Kimmel’s credibility, lack of humor, and political bias.
 • 
 • 

They contrast Kimmel with Jon Stewart, whom Cruz admits is funny despite their political differences.

Kamala Says Being Gay or Jewish was a Disqualifier from Being her VP Candidate plus Kimmel BACK on ABC

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.
 
 
 
Useless UN
 
 
 
A sharp critique of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, highlighting the traffic chaos and questioning why the UN remains in Manhattan instead of a less disruptive location. The hosts then pivot to Donald Trump’s bold remarks at the UN, where he dismissed climate change alarmism and called out global elites.
 
 
 
The conversation shifts to the mainstream media’s fading obsession with climate change, referencing a recent New York Times piece asking why the issue has “vanished” from public discourse. Clay and Buck also tackle the Ukraine war fatigue, noting the disappearance of Ukraine flags and waning liberal enthusiasm for the conflict.
 
 
 
Next, the hosts take aim at YouTube’s admission of COVID-era censorship, exposing how the platform silenced voices that ultimately proved correct on masking and pandemic policies. This leads to a broader discussion on Big Tech’s role in shaping narratives and stifling dissent.
 
 
 
Kamala Catastrophe
 
 
 
Kamala Harris’s new book tour for 107 Days and her disastrous past interview moments, including the infamous “not a thing I would have done differently” answer about the Biden administration. The hosts analyze why this response reinforced perceptions of Harris as unprepared and politically tone-deaf, and they debate what her future in the Democratic Party looks like heading into 2026.
 
 
 
They Will Do It Again
 
 
 
Big Tech censorship and free speech. Clay and Buck focus on explosive revelations that YouTube admitted to suppressing conservative voices at the request of the Biden administration during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clay shares firsthand experiences of demonetization and content removal for questioning mask mandates and vaccine policies—positions later validated by science. 
 
 
 
Buck underscores how these actions amounted to government-backed censorship, costing conservative media companies hundreds of millions of dollars and undermining open debate. The hosts criticize the Supreme Court’s failure to address this First Amendment violation, warning that these practices could return under future Democratic administrations.
 
 
 
Additional segments highlight the contrast between the media’s outrage over Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension and its silence on systemic censorship by tech giants. Clay and Buck argue that while Kimmel missed four shows, countless conservative creators faced long-term suppression and financial harm. They also discuss algorithmic shadow-banning, the lingering effects of being placed on YouTube’s “naughty list,” and why online platforms now function as the modern public square.
 
 
 
Shady Lady
 
 
 
A deep look at the New Jersey governor’s race, where Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill faces scrutiny over allegations of questionable stock trades. Clay and Buck break down reports that Sherrill’s net worth skyrocketed from a few million to roughly $12 million while serving in Congress, despite an annual salary of $174,000. 
 
 
 
They discuss her awkward response to Charlemagne tha God’s question about making $7 million in trades and explore the broader issue of insider trading in Congress, calling for mandatory blind trusts or index fund requirements to restore public trust.

Bonus: Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Sep 23 2025

• 

Setting: President Trump held a press conference after attending Charlie Kirk’s funeral, teasing it as a “major announcement” on autism and public health.
 • 
 • 

Main Claim: Trump and RFK Jr. asserted that acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk of autism in children. Trump directly warned against taking Tylenol while pregnant, except in extreme cases of high fever.
 • 
 • 

Autism Statistics (as presented by Trump):
 • 

 • 

Historical rates cited: 1 in 20,000 → 1 in 10,000 → 1 in 31 overall today, and as high as 1 in 12 among boys in some regions (e.g., California).
 • 
 • 

He described this increase as “artificial” and linked it to medication and vaccines.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Specific Policy Steps Announced:
 • 

 • 

FDA to issue warnings and update labeling for acetaminophen, cautioning its use during pregnancy.
 • 
 • 

NIH, FDA, CDC, and CMS to coordinate a new effort investigating potential environmental, pharmaceutical, and vaccine links to autism.
 • 
 • 

New grant funding (13 awards) through NIH’s Autism Data Science Initiatives.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Other Health Proposals Trump Raised:
 • 

 • 

Vaccines: suggested spacing them out, avoiding certain ingredients (mercury, aluminum), giving MMR separately, and delaying hepatitis B vaccination until age 12.
 • 
 • 

Treatment: referenced new findings suggesting folate deficiency in children may contribute to autism, with therapies under research.
 • 
 • 
 • 

RFK Jr.’s Role:
 • 

 • 

He emphasized that past autism research was too focused on genetics and ignored environmental/toxic exposures.
 • 
 • 

Supported Trump’s push to investigate acetaminophen, vaccines, and other potential causes.
 • 
 • 

Announced NIH/FDA would pursue depoliticized research, new label warnings, and public education campaigns.

Charlie Kirk's Memorial-Sparking Revival & Spreading the Gospel Worldwide

• 

Charlie Kirk Assassination
 • 

 • 

The central focus is the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
 • 
 • 

It highlights how some individuals on social media and in academic or professional positions were accused of celebrating his death.
 • 
 • 

Commentary draws sharp contrasts between free speech protections and the consequences of hateful or violent speech.
 • 
 • 
 • 

First Amendment & Consequences
 • 

 • 

The speakers emphasize that while the U.S. Constitution protects free speech from government prosecution, it does not shield individuals from personal or professional consequences.
 • 
 • 

They compare celebratory speech about Kirk’s murder to other forms of offensive expression that might justifiably lead to disciplinary or employment consequences.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Text Messages Between the Assassin and Partner
 • 

 • 

We talk about the text exchanges between the shooter and a transgender partner.
 • 
 • 

These messages are described as both incriminating (a clear confession) and disturbing, while also criticizing mainstream media outlets like ABC News for framing them in a more “romanticized” or “touching” light.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Criticism of Media Coverage
 • 

 • 

Strong criticism is directed at outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News for allegedly downplaying or misrepresenting the motives of the assassin.
 • 
 • 

The speakers argue that the media deliberately avoids framing the crime as left-wing political violence tied to Antifa or transgender activism.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Antifa and Terrorism Designation
 • 

 • 

The latter portion shifts to broader political implications, particularly Senator Ted Cruz urging the FBI and Trump administration to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization.
 • 
 • 

It discusses legislation (the “Stop Funders Act”) aimed at following the financial networks behind left-wing protest groups, riots, and activist organizations.
 • 
 • 

It links Antifa and Black Lives Matter funding to foreign and domestic wealthy donors (e.g., George Soros).
 •

Liberals Celebrate Kirk Assassination on Social Media, 'Love' Texts from Assassin to Boyfriend & Designating Antifa as Terrorist Organization Week In Review

• 

Biden Pardons & Autopen Controversy
 • 

 • 

The discussion centers on claims that President Joe Biden improperly delegated or failed to personally authorize thousands of pardons and commutations at the end of his presidency.
 • 
 • 

Cruz argues that under the Constitution, only the President can personally make pardon decisions, and if staffers used an autopen without Biden’s direct involvement, those pardons are “null and void.”
 • 
 • 

The conversation highlights concerns about Biden’s alleged disengagement, potential misuse of authority by White House staff, and the legal battles that could arise if the Department of Justice revisits these pardons.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Persecution of Christians in Nigeria
 • 

 • 

Cruz introduces legislation addressing severe religious persecution in Nigeria, where extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa have killed tens of thousands of Christians, attacked churches, and kidnapped priests.
 • 
 • 

The proposed bill, the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, would classify Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern,” impose sanctions on complicit Nigerian officials, and reinforce designations against jihadist groups.
 • 
 • 

Cruz frames this as part of his long-standing advocacy for global religious freedom and draws parallels to past cases, such as Sudan’s imprisonment of Miriam Ibrahim for her Christian faith.
