00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.580 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.420 Welcome.
00:00:06.140 It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:09.640 And this is going to be an abnormal podcast.
00:00:12.640 I say that because the senator and I are getting ready for two big podcasts that will come
00:00:17.860 out on Thursday and Friday with James Comer.
00:00:21.620 Now, why are we doing it on Thursday and Friday?
00:00:24.000 Senator, you can explain to people that this is a big day Wednesday with these whistleblowers
00:00:30.500 that are going to come forward and testify.
00:00:32.900 And right after they're done, we're going to be doing a sit down with James Comer for
00:00:37.560 a two part interview about everything that deals with the Biden crime family.
00:00:42.440 Well, that's exactly right.
00:00:43.500 And so today's podcast is an abbreviated podcast.
00:00:45.960 It's going to be shorter than normal.
00:00:48.020 And that's because this is today's podcast is essentially an extra bonus podcast.
00:00:53.320 And we will do a full podcast on Thursday, a full podcast on Friday, both of which are
00:00:59.860 going to be a two part deep dive into the House Oversight Committee hearing that is occurring
00:01:05.780 on Wednesday, occurring today, where we're going to have testimony from the IRS whistleblowers.
00:01:12.460 And so we're going to sit down with James Comer right after that testimony, and we're going
00:01:16.180 to walk you through in real substance.
00:01:18.340 Look, we know that the mainstream media, the corporate media is not going to cover much
00:01:23.380 of what's said in the testimony.
00:01:24.580 And we know that even the coverage you get is going to be a minute or two.
00:01:28.600 This podcast is going to walk you through with the chairman of the committee.
00:01:32.820 What did we learn today?
00:01:34.400 And it'll be a sit down.
00:01:36.940 We'll do it live and in person.
00:01:38.360 So it'll be on audio, but it'll also be on YouTube.
00:01:41.560 So you can watch it on video as well.
00:01:44.180 One of the things that I'm excited about with this is this is going to be basically a cliff
00:01:50.040 note show where people are going to be able to go back whenever this continues to evolve
00:01:55.160 and understand where we started and what happened in chronological order.
00:02:00.700 And that's why we're doing it in a two part series, because the media has missed so much
00:02:05.520 and having James Comer and sitting down with him as the chairman, as you just described it,
00:02:10.460 Senator, is something that's going to be really important, because this is what you can understand
00:02:14.820 from beginning to end how we got to these whistleblowers.
00:02:17.520 What happened before that and what happened before that and what happened before that?
00:02:21.860 Because this has been a saga with the Biden crime family and dots that are being reconnected
00:02:28.720 after suspicious activity reports come out and after we find out about bank statements
00:02:32.560 and records and payments going to multiple Biden family members.
00:02:36.360 That's why these two shows are going to, in essence, be evergreen.
00:02:39.720 It's going to be something that you can go back and reference or send to your friends
00:02:44.020 that maybe they're just now learning about this Biden crime family and the corruption,
00:02:48.360 the millions of payments.
00:02:49.320 And you can say, hey, listen to these two shows and you can hear everything and how we
00:02:53.960 got to where we are now in 2023.
00:02:56.220 Well, that's exactly right.
00:02:57.820 And the evidence keeps piling up.
00:02:59.740 The news keeps breaking.
00:03:01.040 We just discovered that on Monday of this week, the House Oversight Committee conducted a
00:03:05.680 transcribed interview with a former FBI supervisory special agent that was assigned to the FBI's
00:03:13.240 Wilmington office and the Biden criminal investigation.
00:03:16.220 So we already have two IRS whistleblowers, but we now have another FBI whistleblower.
00:03:21.600 And this FBI whistleblower corroborated very significant elements of what the IRS whistleblowers
00:03:27.680 have put out.
00:03:29.080 And so you've got three senior career whistleblowers, two at the IRS, one at the FBI, that are all
00:03:37.160 testifying as to the political coverup and the efforts by political appointees at DOJ to
00:03:45.180 protect Hunter Biden and most critically to protect the big guy, Joe Biden, and to prevent
00:03:50.820 any investigation into the corruption and potential receipt of bribery by Joe Biden from foreign
00:03:58.740 nationals.
00:03:59.860 You know, this is, again, a show, and I say it to everybody, we want to hear from you.
00:04:05.500 And you put out a tweet, Senator.
00:04:07.500 I put out a tweet as well.
00:04:09.180 You can tweet your questions that you would like to be answered by James Comer.
00:04:14.420 There's a lot of you that have been following this, and maybe you don't understand something.
00:04:19.640 You follow Senator Cruz.
00:04:21.400 You can do his account at Ted Cruz.
00:04:23.960 Mine is Ben Ferguson Show, at Ben Ferguson Show.
00:04:27.040 And you can send us your questions that you want to ask, because, look, you and I were
00:04:33.060 down in Florida just a couple days ago at Turning Point, and many people, I know you
00:04:37.760 guys, we got so much feedback that you loved hearing it with a live audience.
00:04:41.200 We're going to be doing that more moving forward.
00:04:43.840 But if you didn't listen to Monday's pod, which is live in front of Turning Point USA,
00:04:48.720 you ought to go back and listen to it, because it was a hot pod.
00:04:51.680 There were 3,000 energized young people.
00:04:54.900 We took Q&A from the audience.
00:04:56.560 It was really, I think, a lot of fun.
00:04:59.200 And if you didn't listen to it, you want to go back and catch that.
00:05:02.740 Well, and some of the Q&A that happened in that, Senator, is why you and I said before
00:05:07.820 the show, let's get people to send in their questions.
00:05:10.740 This is where we get to interact with you.
00:05:12.840 And there were so many people at Turning Point that were walking up, and they're asking
00:05:16.180 amazing questions.
00:05:17.980 Why aren't they in jail?
00:05:19.120 Why isn't this happening?
00:05:20.200 Why is there a double standard?
00:05:21.580 So if you have a question that you want us to ask, Congressman Comer, send us a tweet.
00:05:27.580 Again, at Ted Cruz, you can see it up there.
00:05:30.400 We'll have it on the feed so you can keep writing down your questions below, because we're going
00:05:35.340 to read all of them, and we're going to look and pick some of the best ones to ask him.
00:05:40.060 That's exactly right.
00:05:41.220 It's a great opportunity for the verdict community, everyone who is engaged, who wants to know
00:05:45.720 what's going on, who wants to know the inside story, for you to be an active participant
00:05:52.260 in laying out the facts and getting the hard questions and important questions answered.
00:05:58.100 And it's going to be fun.
00:05:59.660 So I hope all you guys will get involved that way.
00:06:01.560 Senator, I know it's abbreviated pod, but I have to ask you about, obviously, the breaking
00:06:05.740 news, and this coming from this—I'm not shocked by it, but many, I think, would say
00:06:12.080 they're pretty angry by it, and that is the fact that we now understand that the President
00:06:17.680 of the United States of America has received yet another target letter, this time in connection
00:06:22.400 with a January 6th probe, another indictment looming, they're saying, for election interference.
00:06:30.160 There have been some that have been pretty blunt about this, calling this total BS.
00:06:34.460 Is this at the point now where it's just straight-up election interference?
00:06:39.420 Well, we have breaking news tonight.
00:06:41.920 Water is wet.
00:06:43.360 The sky is blue.
00:06:45.040 Grass is green.
00:06:46.560 There's cocaine in the Biden White House.
00:06:48.440 And Jack Smith and Merrick Garland are engaged in a political vendetta.
00:06:55.980 Yes, yes, yes, hell yes, this is election interference.
00:07:00.480 Anyone who's surprised, it was obvious that Smith was going to go after Donald Trump.
00:07:06.360 It was obvious that he's going to try to indict Donald Trump.
00:07:10.000 It is obvious because that is his mission.
00:07:12.120 Remember, we did a podcast early on, November 2022.
00:07:19.200 Right when Jack Smith was appointed, we laid out five troubling facts about Jack Smith then.
00:07:24.500 Number one, handpicked by Merrick Garland.
00:07:26.800 And Merrick Garland is the most political and partisan Attorney General in our nation's history.
00:07:31.540 Number two, Jack Smith led the disgraceful prosecution of Bob McDonnell,
00:07:37.980 then the Republican governor of Virginia,
00:07:39.780 then a credible and plausible candidate for president.
00:07:45.240 And yet Jack Smith went after him, prosecuted him.
00:07:49.060 And the prosecution was on such flimsy ground that when it was challenged and went to the Supreme Court,
00:07:55.260 the Supreme Court reversed it nine to nothing.
00:07:58.940 Every single justice, including the left-wing justices, reversed it.
00:08:03.060 But you know what?
00:08:03.880 Smith had done his political job.
00:08:05.340 He'd taken out Bob McDonnell politically, which was the objective,
00:08:11.100 even though legally it was frivolous and thrown out unanimously by the Supreme Court.
00:08:15.740 Number three, Jack Smith was himself involved in the IRS targeting of conservatives under Barack Obama,
00:08:23.320 so he has a long history of being directly involved in the weaponization of government.
00:08:27.940 Number four, his wife is a donor.
00:08:31.260 To guess who? Joe Biden is a Democrat donor.
00:08:33.940 And number five, his wife also produced a documentary about Michelle Obama
00:08:40.080 that is a hagiography that is praising her, that practically beatifies her, turns her into a saint.
00:08:46.640 If the left believed in saints, Michelle Obama would qualify based on this movie.
00:08:51.560 She also produced another movie, Attacking the Citizens United decision from the Supreme Court,
00:08:56.640 which protected free speech rights, the rights of groups like the NRA and the Sierra Club
00:09:03.180 and non-profits to engage in political speech.
00:09:08.040 Well, his wife hates your free speech rights so much, she made a movie, Attacking It.
00:09:13.660 That's who Jack Smith is.
00:09:15.940 And so it should surprise nobody that, of course, he's going to indict President Trump.
00:09:21.600 Why? Because he is engaged in election interference.
00:09:26.260 Because his objective is to try to defeat Donald Trump in November of next year,
00:09:31.940 and he's going to use every machinery of the Department of Justice to try to do so
00:09:37.100 with Merrick Garland's enthusiastic cheerleading alongside.
00:09:41.740 Canadian women are looking for more. 1.00
00:09:44.700 More out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:09:48.860 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:09:52.580 I'm Jennifer Stewart.
00:09:53.780 And I'm Catherine Clark.
00:09:55.020 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.
00:09:58.780 Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers,
00:10:02.320 all at different stages of their journey.
00:10:04.520 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:10:07.500 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:10:13.560 Talk about the timing of this letter.
00:10:15.440 You know, the president's, former President Trump said,
00:10:17.600 wow, on Sunday night while I was with my family having just arrived from Turning Point,
00:10:21.620 the same event that you and I were at in Florida,
00:10:23.440 where I won the straw poll against all other Republican candidates with 85.7%,
00:10:28.640 with all polls showing me leading in the Republican primary by very substantial numbers.
00:10:33.660 Almost everyone predicting that I will be the Republican nominee for president.
00:10:38.340 And as I am leading Democrat Joe Biden in the polls by a lot,
00:10:42.960 horrifying news for our country was given to me by my attorneys.
00:10:47.180 You look at the timing of this.
00:10:49.840 Is it quite possible that they wanted to do this on a Sunday during a massive week
00:10:55.900 when these whistleblowers are going to be testifying before Congress
00:10:58.700 to give cover to the media to not have to cover what these whistleblowers are going to say on Wednesday?
00:11:04.080 Well, I don't know that the corporate media needs cover
00:11:06.040 because they don't cover what the whistleblowers say anyway.
00:11:08.920 They don't want to cover it.
00:11:10.540 I mean, you could literally have a day where there are dandelions blooming in a field,
00:11:15.780 and that would be sufficient for the media to cover that
00:11:18.200 instead of actual the credible and serious evidence from multiple whistleblowers
00:11:22.860 about multiple felonies committed by the Attorney General of the United States
00:11:26.240 and the President of the United States.
00:11:27.440 That's not news to ABC.
00:11:29.640 That's not news to CNN.
00:11:31.160 That's not news to the corporate media.
00:11:34.480 Look, you asked, and I answered a minute ago,
00:11:38.620 is this election interference?
00:11:41.100 And the answer is, of course it is.
00:11:42.900 And it's election interference doubly.
00:11:45.900 Here's what the Democrats are thinking.
00:11:48.660 Merrick Garland and Joe Biden in the White House,
00:11:52.460 they, number one, they want Donald Trump to be the nominee.
00:11:55.980 They desperately want Trump to be the Republican nominee,
00:11:59.180 and they know that every time they bring some bogus indictment
00:12:02.960 that Trump's numbers in the primary go up.
00:12:06.200 They're fully aware of that, and they view that as a feature, not a bug.
00:12:09.780 They want Trump's numbers in the primary to go up
00:12:12.300 because they believe Trump is the easiest to beat in the general.
00:12:15.560 So they're engaged in election interference in the primary,
00:12:19.080 and they're doing it with full, open eyes about what their objective is.
00:12:22.920 But secondly, they believe that these multiple indictments, one after the other,
00:12:29.260 hurt Trump and potentially hurt Trump fatally in the general election in November.
00:12:33.960 Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and the partisan Democrats,
00:12:38.000 they want to push Trump to be the nominee,
00:12:39.880 and then they want to wound him so badly that they believe he can't win the general election.
00:12:45.300 And it is, I don't know if that political prediction is right or not.
00:12:49.040 I think the Democrats believe it.
00:12:51.160 What I do know is it is an absolute abuse of the Department of Justice,
00:12:56.420 of the prosecutorial authority of DOJ to play politics,
00:13:02.720 and that's sadly what they're doing.
00:13:04.820 Lastly, for everyone listening, we are going to be covering, as we said,
00:13:08.940 the James Comer interview, a two-part series.
00:13:12.560 It will come out on Thursday and Friday, so make sure you help everyone see it.
00:13:17.340 We're going to need your help by sharing these podcasts
00:13:20.280 when we put them out on all your social media.
00:13:22.780 Tell your family and friends about this on Thursday and Friday.
00:13:25.820 Post it on Facebook, on Twitter, wherever you are on social media.
00:13:29.780 And send in your questions.
00:13:32.380 Send a tweet, at Ted Cruz, at Ben Ferguson Show.
00:13:35.660 We're going to be taking some of those questions and asking James Comer.
00:13:39.340 So don't miss a special week this week, Thursday and Friday.
00:13:43.260 These shows, we're going to be doing the first, the show,
00:13:47.180 literally 11 o'clock Wednesday night, right after they are done with the votes,
00:13:52.300 is when we're going to start.
00:13:53.080 So you're going to get this before it's said anywhere else.
00:13:56.500 So make sure you do that.
00:13:57.800 Write us a five-star review.
00:13:58.880 We'll see you back here tomorrow and Friday for that big sit down
00:14:02.820 with Congressman James Comer.
