In this explosive episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz and Ben Ferguson

Podcast Recap: Cruz vs. Carlson – A Heated Debate on U.S. Foreign Policy, Israel, and Iran

In this explosive podcast episode, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson talk about Senator Cruz's clash with Tucker Carlson over the future of U.S. foreign policy. Senator Cruz champions a robust alliance with Israel and a hardline stance against Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Key Highlights:

• Foreign Policy Divide: Cruz defends U.S. interventionism and strategic alliances, especially with Israel, while Carlson criticizes what he sees as endless foreign entanglements.
• Viral “Gotcha” Moments: Carlson stumps Cruz with questions like Iran’s population, prompting Cruz to accuse him of prioritizing viral clips over meaningful debate.
• Iranian Threat Allegations: Cruz cites intelligence reports alleging Iranian plots to assassinate Donald Trump and former officials, sparking a fiery exchange with a skeptical Carlson.
• Accusations of Bias: Cruz accuses Carlson of disproportionately targeting Israel and AIPAC, suggesting a double standard not applied to other allies.
• Moral Clarity vs. Relativism: Cruz argues for American exceptionalism and a foreign policy rooted in “peace through strength,” rejecting comparisons between the U.S. and authoritarian regimes.
• Trump’s Take: Former President Donald Trump backs Cruz’s position, reaffirming his “America First” stance and opposition to a nuclear-armed Iran.

Democrats are pulling from the old playbook to talk about how Republicans are trying to cut Medicare and other key benefits, trying to push grandma off the cliff.  The truth is, America is spending at an unsustainable rate and, if President Trump can be allowed to lead the country the way he's pushing, we'll grow the economy and reduce fraud... there is a clear path, we just have to follow it!

 Colorado Congressman Gabe Evans, Evans is the grandson of immigrants and a former Colorado cop. He’s also a freshman and the only Republican to flip a seat red in a blue state in 2024. Evans’ biggest messaging position is how Colorado’s sanctuary state laws are detrimental to public safety. His first bill directly addressed the state’s public safety, immigration, and crime crises. The attack in Boulder is the latest example of how the far Left has perpetuated these crises that are now all coming to a head.
