Verdict with Ted Cruz

Supreme Court Ruling: The Supreme Court issued an order blocking the deportation of Venezuelan illegal immigrants under an 18th-century law. Justice Alito and Justice Thomas dissented, criticizing the decision as hasty and legally questionable. The ruling was made without giving lower courts a chance to rule or hearing from the opposing party. Implications for the Trump Administration: The ruling poses a challenge to the Trump administration's efforts to deport illegal immigrants. The decision was seen as a significant roadblock, with concerns about its impact on future immigration policies. Procedural Concerns: The dissent highlighted procedural issues, including the quick turnaround time for the ruling and the lack of jurisdiction. The process was compared to emergency appeals in death penalty cases, where last-minute filings can lead to rushed decisions. Political Strategy: The discussion suggests that the Democrats might be aiming to frustrate the Supreme Court justices to influence future rulings against the Trump administration. The strategy involves creating legal and procedural hurdles to delay or block deportation efforts. Vandalism Incident: We also mention a separate incident involving a Minnesota state employee who vandalized multiple Tesla vehicles. The district attorney decided not to press charges, leading to frustration among law enforcement and the public. The discussion touches on broader issues of lawlessness and political bias in prosecuting crimes. Democratic Party Disarray: A discussion on the internal challenges within the Democratic Party. Polling data shows declining confidence in Democratic leaders, with significant dissatisfaction among party members. The potential for younger politicians to step forward and the impact of senior Democrats retiring are also discussed. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Massive Drop in Illegal Border Crossings Under Trump Administration: We discuss the significant reduction in illegal border crossings under Donald Trump's administration. The policy changes, particularly ending catch and release, led to a 99.99% drop in illegal border crossings. Statistics: In December 2023, 189,604 illegal immigrants were caught and released under Biden's administration. By February 2024, this number dropped to just 20 under Trump. Policy Impact: The change in policy, where illegal immigrants were sent back to their country of origin, was highlighted as the main reason for the drastic reduction. 2. Major Parental Rights Case at SCOTUS Case Overview: The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor, focusing on whether parents have the right to opt out of radical transgender ideology being taught to their children in public schools. Parental Rights: The case is significant for parental rights, especially concerning young children in Maryland being exposed to LGBTQ+ affirming picture books and radical gender ideology. Expected Outcome: We predict that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of parental rights, allowing parents to protect their children from such teachings. 3. Elizabeth Warren Caught in a Lie Podcast Interview: Elizabeth Warren was interviewed on a podcast where she was called out for lying about Joe Biden's mental acuity. Interview Highlights: Warren struggled to defend her previous statements about Biden's sharpness, leading to a revealing moment where she was unable to convincingly support her claims.

Legal Response: The local district attorney, funded by George Soros, decided not to prosecute the vandal, leading to frustration from the police and the public.

Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: ihr.fm/3InlkL8   The Story Keeps Getting Worse   Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into several pressing topics.

The hosts then address the DOJ's stance on transgender athletes, focusing on safety concerns for young women competing against trans individuals.   A poignant segment features Patty Morin, whose daughter was killed by an illegal alien, sharing her thoughts from a White House appearance. The conversation shifts to George Clooney's op-ed criticizing Biden, with the hosts debating the bravery of such statements. They also delve into the controversy surrounding Maryland Democrat Senator's visit to El Salvador, discussing the political and legal ramifications of deporting an alleged MS-13 gang member, Mr. Abrego Garcia.   The Dems Choice of Resistance   The hosts argue that Democrats have chosen a poor figure to represent their resistance to Trump's deportation policies, citing Garcia's criminal background, including domestic violence and suspected human trafficking. They juxtapose this with the tragic story of an American citizen killed by an illegal immigrant, emphasizing the Democrats' misplaced priorities.   Throughout the hour, Clay and Buck engage in a heated debate on immigration policies, the rule of law, and the Democrats' stance on illegal immigrants. They invite listeners to share their opinions, questioning the rationale behind defending Garcia's return to the U.S. The show concludes with a discussion on the broader implications of immigration enforcement and the political landscape.   Liberal Rules   Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with breaking news about a shooting at Florida State University in Tallahassee.  The conversation then shifts to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is accused of mortgage fraud in Virginia and New York.

They emphasize the importance of holding powerful individuals accountable and discuss the potential fallout and next steps, including possible charges and investigations.   The show also delves into the broader implications of prosecutorial misconduct, using hypothetical scenarios to illustrate the erosion of trust in the justice system when those in power commit crimes. The hosts speculate on the political and social ramifications for AG Letitia James, including potential defenses she might use and whether Democrats will rally behind her or distance themselves.   TX AG Ken Paxton   interview with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who discusses his Senate run against incumbent John Cornyn. Paxton outlines his reasons for running, including his dissatisfaction with Cornyn's stance on gun restrictions, border security, and his criticism of President Trump. Paxton emphasizes his strong working relationship with Trump and his commitment to conservative values.   The conversation shifts to legal matters, where Paxton critiques a judge's overreach in the case of Mr. Abrego Garcia, arguing that the judiciary should not interfere with executive decisions. He calls for congressional action to limit nationwide injunctions that lack factual or legal basis.   The hosts also discuss the impact of Trump's presidency on Texas, particularly regarding border security. Paxton highlights the financial and safety benefits of Trump's policies, contrasting them with the previous administration's approach.   Listeners from Texas are encouraged to engage with the upcoming primary, and Paxton shares polling data showing his lead over Cornyn.

Trade Negotiations with Japan: President Trump met with Japanese officials to discuss trade negotiations, resulting in positive feedback on social media.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed a willingness to negotiate, indicating a change in rhetoric.

The hosts discuss the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an individual deported to El Salvador, and the legal and political implications surrounding his deportation. They explore the broader context of U.S. foreign policy and the judicial system's role in such matters.   Another major topic is the Trump administration's stance on "woke" campuses, specifically the decision to freeze $2 billion in funding to Harvard University. The hosts criticize the high costs of higher education and the perceived left-wing bias in universities. They argue for the need to hold educational institutions accountable and reduce taxpayer subsidies.   The discussion also touches on the broader issue of administrative bloat in universities, with a focus on the growth of non-teaching staff and the impact on educational quality and costs. The hosts highlight the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and their influence on campus culture.   Good and Evil   Clay Travis and Buck Sexton discussing the tragic incident in Frisco, Texas, where 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed by another 17-year-old, Karmelo Anthony, at a track meet. They explore the legal and societal implications of the case, highlighting the controversial aspects of the defense fund that has raised over $400,000 for Anthony, and the subsequent reduction of his bail from $1 million to $250,000. The hosts express their concerns about the misuse of these funds, as the family reportedly purchased a new house with the donations.   The conversation transitions to broader themes of justice and self-defense, questioning the societal and racial dynamics at play in this case. They compare the media and public reactions to similar incidents involving different racial backgrounds, emphasizing the role of identity politics in shaping public perception and legal outcomes.   Alan Dershowitz's commentary on the case is also discussed, where he points out the racial biases that influence jury selection and public opinion. The hosts agree with Dershowitz's assessment that the racial dynamics significantly impact the narrative and potential outcomes of such cases.   Throughout the hour, Clay and Buck stress the importance of distinguishing between good and evil, and the challenges posed by identity politics in achieving true justice. They argue that the current societal climate often leads to skewed perceptions and unjust support for individuals based on race rather than the facts of the case. And why this case is not the same as Kyle Rittenhouse.   President Trump's latest move to potentially tax Harvard University as a political entity. This bold strategy is part of Trump's broader effort to hold woke universities accountable and reduce their reliance on federal tax dollars. The hosts praise Trump's proactive approach and highlight the significant reduction in border encounters, showcasing the effectiveness of his policies.   Kilmar Abrego Garcia   The conversation then shifts to the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member. The hosts criticize the media's portrayal of Garcia as a "Maryland man" and emphasize his criminal background and gang affiliation. They discuss the legal complexities surrounding his deportation and the political implications of Democrats' opposition to Trump's immigration policies.   AG Pam Bondi and Karoline Leavitt's comments on the case are highlighted, reinforcing the narrative that Garcia's deportation was justified and necessary for national security. The hosts argue that Trump's actions are a strategic move to address immigration issues and protect American citizens.   The discussion also touches on the broader impact of Trump's policies on illegal immigration, noting the significant decrease in border crossings and the potential self-deportation of individuals with criminal records. The hosts emphasize the importance of enforcing immigration laws and the positive outcomes of Trump's administration in this regard.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts: ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Deportation of Venezuelan Gang Members: The Supreme Court lifted a judge's order blocking the deportation of suspected Venezuelan gang members to a prison in El Salvador. The Trump administration used the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th-century law, to classify these gang members as part of a hostile government. The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that challenges to deportation must be filed as habeas corpus petitions in the location where the individuals are detained, not as class actions in D.C. Cancellation of Teacher Training Grants: The Supreme Court upheld the cancellation of $600 million in teacher training grants, with $65 million yet to be distributed. The court ruled 5-4 that claims against federal money should be brought in the Court of Federal Claims. This decision was seen as a technical but significant victory against district judges trying to block the Trump administration's agenda. Reinstatement of Federal Employees: The Supreme Court reversed a district judge's order to reinstate 16,000 federal employees fired by the Trump administration. The court ruled 7-2 that the administration had followed proper procedures for the dismissals. This decision was another victory against district judges attempting to halt the Trump administration's actions. Issuance of Social Security Numbers: Nearly 4 million non-citizens were issued Social Security numbers during Joe Biden's presidency. These numbers allowed illegal aliens to access government programs and aid, costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reported that many illegal aliens received Medicaid, driver's licenses, and some even registered to vote. Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports: A female fencer was disqualified for refusing to compete against a transgender opponent. Senator Ted Cruz launched an investigation into USA Fencing's policies, aiming to protect women and girls in sports. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Supreme Court Ruling on Deportations: The Supreme Court lifted a block from a US District Judge, allowing the Trump administration to deport suspected illegal alien gang members under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The ruling was described as narrow, focusing on the proper venue for the cases rather than the administration's use of the law. The decision was a 5-4 split, with the Supreme Court finding that the migrants had improperly challenged their deportations in Washington, D.C., instead of Texas. Attorney General Pam Bondi described the Supreme Court decision as a landmark victory for the rule of law. Bondi emphasized that an activist judge in Washington, D.C., does not have the jurisdiction to control President Trump's authority to conduct foreign policy.  Trump's Stance on Tariffs: Senator James Lankford commented on the media's portrayal of Republican support for Trump's tariff policies. He suggested that the real challenge to Trump's tariffs would come from the courts, not Congress. The Senate narrowly approved a tariff control bill, but it was unlikely to pass in the House. Trump reiterated his commitment to fair trade deals and substantial tariffs on countries like Japan and China. He emphasized the need for reciprocal trade agreements and criticized previous administrations for putting America last. Direct Talks with Iran: Trump announced direct talks with Iran over their nuclear weapons program. Iranian-backed militias in Iraq expressed willingness to disarm to avoid conflict with the US. The document highlights the seriousness of the situation and the potential for military action if negotiations fail. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Congressional Hearing: The CEOs of NPR and PBS faced tough questioning from Congress, reminiscent of previous hearings involving Ivy League presidents on anti-Semitism. Catherine Maher, the CEO of NPR, was particularly criticized for her past tweets and statements, which were scrutinized by Brandon Gill, a freshman House member from Texas. Key Exchanges: Maher was questioned about tweets related to white supremacy, reparations, and looting. She often claimed not to recall the context or denied the implications of her tweets. Gill highlighted contradictions in Maher's statements, pointing out her previous calls for reparations and her views on looting. Maher's Background: Maher has a history of working with various organizations, including the Council on Foreign Relations, UNICEF, the National Democratic Institute, the World Bank, Access Now, and the Wikimedia Foundation. Her testimony was seen as evasive and out of touch, drawing parallels to past controversial testimonies by other leaders. Filibuster Record: We also mention Senator Cory Booker's record-breaking filibuster, surpassing Strom Thurmond's previous record. Senator Ted Cruz shared his experience and advice on filibustering, including practical tips like wearing comfortable shoes and drinking minimal water.

Tariff Announcement: President Trump announced a ten percent baseline tariff on virtually every country, with specific tariffs for individual countries ranging from ten to forty-nine percent. This is the highest rate of tariffs the United States has had in place since 1930. Political and Economic Implications: The announcement has caused anxiety and concern among people, with Democrats criticizing the move and Republicans defending it. The podcast discusses the potential outcomes, including the possibility of other countries lowering their tariffs in response, which could be beneficial for the American economy. Potential Risks: There are significant risks if other countries retaliate with their own tariffs, leading to a trade war and increased inflation. The impact on various industries, such as the automotive industry, is discussed, with concerns about rising prices for both new and used cars. Economic Analysis: The Tax Foundation's analysis predicts that if the tariffs remain in effect, imports will fall by twenty-eight percent, and the US GDP will shrink by 0.8 percent over the next decade.

Department of Education: Trump announced plans to shut down the Department of Education, criticizing its performance and advocating for education to be managed by individual states. He emphasized that this move would not disrupt public schooling but would allow states to tailor education to their needs. The speech highlighted poor performance rankings of the U.S. in education compared to other countries and suggested that states could manage education more effectively. Trump is a strong advocate for school choice, allowing parents to choose the best educational options for their children. The order directs the Education Secretary to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and ensure that remaining funds do not support DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) or gender ideology programs.
