Verdict with Ted Cruz - RECAP-Ten Verdict Predictions that ALL Came TRUE! (Part 1_1-5)

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.500 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.240 Welcome.

00:00:06.080 It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.

00:00:08.240 Ben Ferguson with you as always.

00:00:10.600 And with this week being New Year's, we had had an original plan,

00:00:15.020 which was to give you the top 10 predictions that we made on Verdict

00:00:20.400 in the last year that came true.

00:00:23.740 They were big predictions, and it was to set the record straight

00:00:28.060 for so many on the left and the media that listened to this show

00:00:31.140 of just how right we were and how ahead of things we were.

00:00:34.600 And if you listen to the show, you know that.

00:00:37.080 We compiled this list, a list to help arm you,

00:00:40.220 so that you can fight back against the liberals

00:00:42.380 and the narrative that they push out on so many things

00:00:45.860 that they're oh so wrong on.

00:00:48.660 Now, with this terrible terrorist attack in New Orleans

00:00:51.620 and the other terrorist attack out in Las Vegas in front of the Trump Hotel,

00:00:55.940 we clearly changed things and did a special podcast

00:01:00.300 that came out on Thursday with the latest news we had there.

00:01:04.180 If you missed that show, go back and listen to it

00:01:07.020 because there's a lot that the senator talked about,

00:01:09.600 especially when it comes to the FBI

00:01:12.020 and what should be happening come January the 20th

00:01:15.320 at the inauguration of Donald Trump

00:01:16.920 and what changes we need to have immediately.

00:01:19.700 Make sure you go back and listen to that special pod we did on Thursday.

00:01:24.960 Now, it's Friday, and this was supposed to be part two of our list.

00:01:29.840 What we've decided to do instead to kind of reset all this

00:01:33.480 because of the terrorist attack in that special episode

00:01:36.060 is we are going to give you the first part of that list again right now for you

00:01:40.660 in case you missed it.

00:01:42.340 And then on Monday, we will have for you the second part of that list

00:01:47.600 of these predictions that we made months in advance,

00:01:51.220 some of them over a year in advance that became true in 2024,

00:01:56.060 heading into 2025.

00:01:57.920 So with that being said, here is part one of that list

00:02:01.780 of the predictions that became reality

00:02:04.700 that we called here on Verdict weeks, months, and even over a year ago.

00:02:10.040 We're going to go through 10 predictions that on this podcast we have made

00:02:15.140 that have proven correct, and the principle going forward.

00:02:19.600 If you want to know what's going to happen next,

00:02:21.260 what's going to happen in 2025, what's going to happen in 2026,

00:02:24.200 what's going to happen going forward,

00:02:26.060 well, listen to Verdict because we're going to keep making predictions,

00:02:28.940 and so far our batting record is pretty damn good,

00:02:33.900 including some predictions that at the time we made them

00:02:38.720 were widely, widely ridiculed and deemed crazy tinfoil hat-wearing

00:02:46.020 conspiracy theories, and now they are indisputably correct.

00:02:50.500 And let's go back, and let's start with one that's way back,

00:02:55.000 and now we have a lot more confirmation to say, yet again, we were right.

00:02:59.340 I want to go back to March the 10th of 2020.

00:03:04.300 March 10th, 2020, get that in your head.

00:03:06.480 We're in 2025 now, January 1st.

00:03:09.100 And you said that, in fact, COVID-19, you believed,

00:03:15.140 was coming from a lab, that this wasn't some organic thing.

00:03:20.760 This was clearly man-made.

00:03:23.360 And if you said that, by the way, on social media,

00:03:26.640 you were shut down.

00:03:28.480 You were put into what we refer to as social media jail.

00:03:32.020 Your reach was limited.

00:03:33.660 You couldn't run ads.

00:03:35.240 It changed people's lives.

00:03:36.420 Yeah, look, in 2020, in 2020, Facebook and Twitter and Google,

00:03:40.640 they were all actively suppressing, saying that COVID was a man-made virus,

00:03:48.160 that it was not something that had just naturally leapt from an animal

00:03:51.660 to the human population, but rather that it escaped from a lab.

00:03:55.180 It was suppressed.

00:03:56.380 We now know that Facebook, that Dr. Fauci was communicating with Mark Zuckerberg,

00:04:01.380 asking him to suppress it.

00:04:02.720 And yet somehow, starting back in March of 2020, this show was laying out the facts.

00:04:09.100 And for our loyal listeners and viewers, they were hearing the facts about COVID right at

00:04:14.640 the very beginning.

00:04:15.280 Give a listen, March 10th, 2020.

00:04:18.080 This was just a bad case of bat soup, that people ate something they shouldn't have eaten, 1.00

00:04:22.160 and that's how it spread.

00:04:23.340 Others have pointed to this strange coincidence that there is a virus testing laboratory in Wuhan.

00:04:30.160 Do we have any sense of the true origins of the virus?

00:04:33.900 Well, we don't know for sure.

00:04:36.000 I've asked medical experts, and they've said, based on the sequencing of the genomes,

00:04:40.720 it does not appear to be artificially created, that it appears to be a virus that has occurred

00:04:46.340 in nature.

00:04:47.200 You're right that a lot of people have focused on the Wuhan Virology Institute that is located

00:04:52.900 right there.

00:04:53.760 And indeed, they've got researchers there that are studying coronavirus and studying bats.

00:04:59.200 I mean, that raises some obvious questions.

00:05:03.780 At the same time, it's very interesting.

00:05:06.440 Do you remember back last fall when the Houston Rockets, when Daryl Morey, the general manager,

00:05:11.820 tweeted out about Hong Kong, he said, stand with Hong Kong, stand for liberty?

00:05:15.980 Right.

00:05:16.400 And the NBA went crazy, and China went crazy, and the NBA apologized profusely.

00:05:22.740 I have to admit, it's kind of the same thing, that anyone suggests, well, gosh, you know,

00:05:27.440 there are thousands, hundreds of thousands of cities all across the world.

00:05:32.360 It just so happens this outbreak is there, right where this virology lab is, and the collective

00:05:37.880 media acts with this outrage of, okay, take your tin hat off.

00:05:44.800 How dare you even ask that question?

00:05:47.600 You know, it's obviously a question that people are going to inquire.

00:05:51.640 Look, the first step needs to be stopping this virus, stopping the disease and protecting

00:05:56.180 human life right now, but there are certainly going to be questions following up if there

00:06:01.160 is any connection or not, and that seems at least a reasonable question to ask.

00:06:06.520 You listen to that, and again, we're going back now to 2020 for that.

00:06:11.040 You were spot on, and that was something that the media and social media said made you a

00:06:16.980 conspiracy theorist.

00:06:18.680 Yeah, and listen, there are two predictions that came out that we were laying out.

00:06:24.080 Number one, that COVID did not occur just naturally, did not occur in a wet market from someone

00:06:30.840 eating bat soup, but rather that it escaped from a lab.

00:06:34.140 And number two, that in particular, it came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

00:06:39.160 And look, early on, you're dealing with limited information, and I was trying to do my best

00:06:43.680 to walk through that limited information.

00:06:45.880 By the way, I've got to say in that clip, Ben, you sound kind of funny there.

00:06:49.640 You know, you don't have much of a sudden twang.

00:06:52.000 You know, you sound like, you sound kind of like a Yaley. 0.57

00:06:55.560 It's a little weird.

00:06:57.040 I've always, you know, wanted to know what I'd sound like if I went to the Ivy Leagues,

00:07:00.300 and now I know.

00:07:01.860 Compliments of Michael Knowles for making that happen, right?

00:07:05.640 And for long-time verdict listeners, Michael Knowles, my dear friend, Ben's dear friend,

00:07:10.320 was my co-host for the first couple of years.

00:07:12.200 And so that was Michael and me back then, before Ben came on board.

00:07:16.960 That was in March, March 10th of 2020.

00:07:22.340 Let's go forward a month later to April.

00:07:25.000 To April, we had a little more information.

00:07:26.740 I want to listen.

00:07:27.480 I want you to listen to Verdict laying out the evidence that this virus not just escaped

00:07:34.020 from a lab, but escaped from the Wuhan Institute for Virology in Wuhan, China.

00:07:38.840 Give a listen.

00:07:39.400 I want to turn for a moment from the economy into the virus itself, and I want to take just

00:07:46.540 a slight victory lap, because I remember on this very show, Senator, on March 10th, over

00:07:51.980 a month ago, you suggested that there was very likely a link between the Wuhan Institute

00:07:58.240 of Virology and this virus that just so coincidentally happened to occur within a couple of miles of

00:08:05.120 that institute.

00:08:05.980 During that time, the mainstream media said this was crazy.

00:08:08.800 This was a conspiracy theory.

00:08:10.320 There was no evidence of it.

00:08:11.600 Now we are getting multiple reports all saying that the virus came from the lab.

00:08:17.300 My question here is not, my point is not just to take a victory lap.

00:08:21.280 My question is, did the U.S. government know that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was conducting

00:08:27.540 this sort of dangerous research?

00:08:29.520 And if we did know, why didn't we stop it?

00:08:32.180 Absolutely, yes.

00:08:33.380 The U.S. government knew.

00:08:35.400 And in fact, when you and I brought this up on March 10th over a month ago, you're right.

00:08:40.060 It was treated as tinfoil hat, conspiracy theory, nutjobbery.

00:08:46.300 Well, it turns out there wasn't just one.

00:08:48.680 There were two labs within miles of where this outbreak occurred that were studying coronaviruses

00:08:54.500 from bats and that there were internal State Department wires before this pandemic raising

00:09:02.420 concerns about the security in those labs and that an accidental virus could escape and cause

00:09:09.080 a global pandemic.

00:09:10.540 But I'll tell you, it's worse than that.

00:09:12.080 And let me give you some some breaking news right now, which is the U.S. government

00:09:17.780 was funding the Chinese research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, your taxpayer dollars

00:09:26.140 and my taxpayer dollars.

00:09:27.860 And let me give you specifics that we just got today.

00:09:31.000 Today, an inquiring of the National Institutes of Health.

00:09:34.160 Did any of your money go to the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

00:09:38.100 The answer is yes.

00:09:39.880 And here's what here's what they told us in writing today.

00:09:42.900 They said in fiscal year 2019, the funding for the Wuhan Institute for Virology was seventy

00:09:49.100 six thousand dollars and the three hundred and one dollars.

00:09:52.780 Seventy six thousand three hundred and one dollars.

00:09:55.740 Now, what did it go to?

00:09:56.920 And I'm repeating what NIH has told me in writing.

00:10:00.460 It went to it was part of an overall three point seven million dollar funding program that

00:10:07.820 went to six years in sites in China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia

00:10:16.060 and Myanmar.

00:10:16.580 And here's what they were studying.

00:10:19.080 These are NIH's words.

00:10:20.260 The project included studying viral diversity in animal parentheses bats reservoirs, surveying

00:10:30.880 people that live in high risk communities for evidence of bat coronavirus infection.

00:10:37.340 And conducting laboratory experiments to analyze and predict which newly discovered viruses pose

00:10:47.120 the greatest threats to human health.

00:10:50.060 Senator, it's pretty clear.

00:10:51.820 And that's part two of this prediction.

00:10:54.020 You were right as well.

00:10:55.080 Yeah, look, and we now know this, like what we were predicting then, that was crazy fringe

00:11:02.680 theory has now all been confirmed.

00:11:04.860 Let's fast forward to February 2023.

00:11:07.500 February 2023, the Washington Post reported FBI director said COVID-19, quote, most likely

00:11:14.660 originated from lab incident.

00:11:16.380 That's the FBI's position now.

00:11:18.520 June of 2023, the New York reported reported New York Post reported, quote, U.S.

00:11:23.960 taxpayers supported research in three Chinese labs that included risky gain-of-function experiments

00:11:29.500 with coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

00:11:32.620 The National Institutes of Health, NIH, and the U.S.

00:11:36.060 Agency for International Development, USAID, provided $2,168,345 in grant funding to the Chinese

00:11:43.560 research institutions between 2014 and 2021, according to the Government Accountability Office.

00:11:49.000 The report shows $1,413,720 in subgrants allocated by the Manhattan-based EcoHealth Alliance went

00:11:59.020 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where hazardous research was conducted on bat coronaviruses.

00:12:06.200 July of 2023, Reuters reported, quote, U.S. suspends federal funding to Wuhan lab over noncompliance.

00:12:13.660 December 2024, Fox News, COVID most likely leaked from Wuhan lab.

00:12:21.080 Social distancing not based on science, select committee finds.

00:12:25.000 And then finally, December 26th of 2024, just a few days ago, the Wall Street Journal wrote

00:12:31.240 the bombshell story that we did an entire podcast on entitled Behind Closed Doors, the spy world

00:12:38.540 scientist who argued COVID was a lab leak.

00:12:41.860 Well, there were scientists arguing that behind closed doors, but there was also the verdict

00:12:46.000 podcast making the argument, laying out the facts right at the very beginning.

00:12:50.420 And I got to say, on COVID, we were proved exactly right.

00:12:54.940 Final question on this prediction looking forward.

00:12:58.260 Do you think we're going to learn a lot more about Fauci, the cover-up, and COVID when Donald

00:13:04.720 Trump is inaugurated after January 20th?

00:13:07.640 So I do, and I am urging the incoming Trump administration to engage in full transparency.

00:13:13.980 That's a discussion I have had with Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice.

00:13:18.200 That's a discussion I've had with Kash Patel, who will be going to the FBI.

00:13:22.660 It's a discussion I will have next week with RFK Jr., who will be coming in as HHS secretary.

00:13:28.040 Every one of them, I am urging, use full transparency.

00:13:32.080 Make it public.

00:13:32.860 Like, let the public know, and I'm going to keep pressing them to do that, and I think

00:13:37.080 that they're going to follow through.

00:13:38.500 We're going to know a lot more.

00:13:40.820 That is a very good thing.

00:13:42.700 Canadian women are looking for more. 1.00

00:13:44.760 More out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.

00:13:48.920 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.

00:13:52.620 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:13:53.800 And I'm Catherine Clark.

00:13:54.800 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists,

00:14:00.200 athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.

00:14:04.600 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.

00:14:07.820 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

00:14:13.820 Let's move on to another prediction.

00:14:16.300 This may be one of my favorite predictions that we've ever made here on this show, because

00:14:21.840 when we said it, we got a lot of pushback, and there were a lot of people that said what

00:14:27.660 you were saying was just absurd.

00:14:30.660 We had our tinfoil hats on again.

00:14:32.860 I mean, there were people that were angry over this, and that was the big prediction that

00:14:38.280 you made that Joe Biden would not be the 2024 Democratic nominee.

00:14:46.920 Well, that's right, and I made two related predictions.

00:14:49.700 Number one, early on, I said I believe Joe Biden would not be the Democrat nominee.

00:14:55.980 He would not be on the ballot in 2024.

00:14:58.680 I also predicted, I said, the only people, when people were later talking about replacing

00:15:04.480 him with Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer or some other people, I said, no, that will

00:15:08.480 never happen.

00:15:10.100 The Democrat Party is a bean-counting party. 0.99

00:15:13.900 Next in line is Kamala Harris, and the Democrat Party cannot, cannot, cannot push her aside, 0.93

00:15:21.560 cannot push an African-American woman aside for a white guy like Gavin Newsom.

00:15:26.020 Their party would spontaneously combust if they tried to do that.

00:15:29.960 So I said, the only people who could replace Joe Biden are Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama,

00:15:37.660 and I did lay out that I thought Michelle Obama, if I were a Democrat, I would much prefer Michelle

00:15:42.680 Obama to Kamala Harris, because Kamala Harris, as the whole world has seen, is a lousy candidate. 1.00

00:15:47.900 So if you're a Democrat who wants to win and you're stuck with Kamala Harris, there's only

00:15:52.360 one human being who can push Kamala Harris aside.

00:15:56.600 That is Michelle Obama.

00:15:57.940 Now, what I think happened, I think they tried with Michelle.

00:16:01.140 I think Michelle said no, and so prediction number one, that Joe Biden would not be the

00:16:05.740 nominee, that came 100% correct.

00:16:08.660 Prediction number two, that he would be replaced either by Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama, that

00:16:13.480 came true as well, although I did think Michelle Obama had a very real possibility.

00:16:19.140 So let's listen.

00:16:20.900 This first excerpt is from September 18th, 2023.

00:16:25.520 So more than a year, a year and three months ago, where I laid out, laid out this possibility

00:16:33.060 and give a listen.

00:16:34.700 So here's the scenario that I think is perhaps most likely and most dangerous.

00:16:41.540 In August of 2024, the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle

00:16:50.380 Obama.

00:16:51.220 And I want you to pause and reflect on that.

00:16:53.220 Oh, I'm pausing and I'm reflecting as we said, and so is everybody else listening right

00:16:56.800 now.

00:16:57.800 I view this as a very serious danger.

00:17:02.080 I'm smiling right now because it terrifies me.

00:17:04.100 And I also could totally see this happening.

00:17:05.680 So Michelle Obama, number one, you don't infuriate African-American women, which is a critical 1.00

00:17:11.880 part of the constituency that Democrats are relying on to win.

00:17:15.500 But number two, you avoid the problem.

00:17:18.180 If you pick from any of the four, the other three are pissed.

00:17:21.200 Because they're all, to some extent, peers, they're rivals, they're all jabbing knives

00:17:26.680 at each other.

00:17:27.920 Michelle Obama, because she was first lady, has the ability to kind of parachute in above

00:17:34.940 all four and say, hey, we're not picking among any of you.

00:17:38.320 You guys can all fight it out next time.

00:17:40.500 You're all going to be on the same level.

00:17:42.520 We're coming.

00:17:43.620 This is the Obama's saving the day.

00:17:45.600 And I think in terms of a solution that unifies Democrats, there ain't nothing like that.

00:17:55.040 I also think Michelle is not all that eager to run for president, but to parachute in 1.00

00:18:01.300 in August of 24, a couple of months before the presidency, and suddenly wake up and be

00:18:05.980 president.

00:18:06.680 Not a bad gig.

00:18:07.520 Not a bad gig.

00:18:08.060 It's not a bad gig at all.

00:18:09.220 Now, would she do it?

00:18:10.480 I don't know.

00:18:12.040 I've met Michelle, but I don't know her personally in any meaningful way.

00:18:16.760 I don't know if she would do it.

00:18:18.580 I do think Barack Obama is already running the Biden administration.

00:18:24.200 I think he is already the puppet master behind this Biden White House.

00:18:28.040 I don't think Joe Biden is the decision maker.

00:18:30.080 And so when I see the media turning on Joe Biden right now, I think the odds of Michelle

00:18:37.600 Obama parachuting in in August of 2024 have risen dramatically.

00:18:44.620 And that ought to scare the hell out of anyone who is unhappy about the direction this country

00:18:51.160 is going and doesn't want us to go even crazier in an even worse direction.

00:18:55.760 In an even worse direction.

00:18:57.060 Well, and there you heard in September of 2023, making the prediction that Joe Biden would

00:19:02.560 be jettisoned.

00:19:03.520 And by the way, at the time that happened, very few people were making that prediction.

00:19:07.500 When we put that podcast out, it drove a lot of news.

00:19:10.900 There were headlines.

00:19:11.720 There were people that were shocked.

00:19:14.200 When I laid out that Biden was not capable, that his mental capacity had diminished, that

00:19:21.320 he was not going to be the nominee, that the Democrats realized it, that they were going

00:19:24.720 to jettisoned him, that the media ridiculed it.

00:19:28.700 But you go forward to February of 2024.

00:19:31.740 I went on Maria Bartiromo.

00:19:33.360 I said, I think Obama is driving the train, which is which is also what I said back in

00:19:37.060 September of 2023.

00:19:38.880 John Harwood, who, you know, was the former journalist for The Wall Street Journal and

00:19:45.100 and for NBC and who's a hard leftist, a vicious leftist.

00:19:50.320 He retweeted my comments on Maria Bartiromo and his entire commentary was, quote, impossibly 1.00

00:19:58.620 stupid conversation. 1.00

00:20:00.000 So that was his learned journalistic view, is that it was impossibly stupid to say that. 1.00

00:20:07.900 I will tell you, just in November of this year, I retweeted Harwood's shot at me and I just 0.92

00:20:16.660 said, want to know why nobody trusts the media? 0.98

00:20:19.720 Just nine months ago, a fake, quote, journalist claimed it was, quote, impossibly stupid to 0.99

00:20:26.820 observe that Joe Biden was not mentally competent to be president. 0.98

00:20:31.160 Now, everybody admits it.

00:20:34.260 What say you, John Jay Harwood?

00:20:38.920 Of course, Harwood didn't respond at all.

00:20:42.060 He ignored it.

00:20:42.780 All right, let's go forward, though.

00:20:45.200 Not only did we lay it out in September of 2023, but then fast forward to the debate, the

00:20:51.560 debate between Joe Biden and and Donald Donald Trump.

00:20:56.000 That was on June 28th, 2024.

00:20:58.860 You and I recorded a verdict podcast immediately after the debate.

00:21:02.900 We went live, recorded it that night and give a listen to what the verdict podcast said

00:21:09.160 the night of the debate.

00:21:11.460 Senator Cruz, I didn't think it could actually be this bad.

00:21:16.360 It was worse than even I think either of us could have imagined.

00:21:20.060 And now the Democratic Party is screaming, replace the president.

00:21:24.560 Well, you and I are sitting here.

00:21:26.480 It is 1017 p.m. Texas time.

00:21:28.820 It is 1117 p.m. East Coast time, the night of the debate.

00:21:32.420 The debate just ended.

00:21:33.980 And I have to say, we have just witnessed what I believe is the most consequential presidential

00:21:38.220 debate in U.S. history.

00:21:40.580 Sometimes debates change things.

00:21:42.880 Sometimes they don't.

00:21:43.860 I believe tonight's debate changed things fundamentally.

00:21:47.520 And I believe the odds have now skyrocketed.

00:21:51.140 I believe the odds are north of 80 percent that the Democrat Party will remove Joe Biden

00:21:56.680 from the ticket and replace him.

00:21:58.720 And I believe they are likely to replace Joe Biden with Michelle Obama because Biden did

00:22:03.880 so disastrously badly tonight that Democrats across the country are in utter free fall and

00:22:10.840 complete panic.

00:22:11.720 We're going to break all that down tonight.

00:22:12.940 But yeah, and by the way, this is a prediction that you made on this show back in September

00:22:19.100 of 2023 that the Democratic kingmakers could bring in Michelle Obama.

00:22:25.240 We'll break all that down.

00:22:28.460 Senator, yet another prediction there.

00:22:30.580 Again, you go back and look at the night you made it right at that debate and you said

00:22:34.520 there's no way he's going to be on the ticket.

00:22:36.580 And it was absolutely correct.

00:22:38.260 Well, to be fair, what I said was the odds were north of 80 percent that he would be pulled

00:22:43.880 off the ticket.

00:22:45.400 That prediction that Joe Biden would be removed from the ticket, which, by the way, is is

00:22:49.900 unprecedented and was almost universally ridiculed in the media.

00:22:54.400 That prediction came 100 percent true.

00:22:56.860 I also articulated there were only two people who could replace him, Kamala Harris or Michelle

00:23:01.660 Obama.

00:23:02.000 I believe Michelle Obama was more likely.

00:23:04.220 The Michelle Obama thing did not come to pass, but the Kamala Harris thing did. 0.57

00:23:09.900 And in fact, I predicted that the Democrat kingmakers would jettison Biden in August of

00:23:16.220 2024.

00:23:17.980 They, in fact, did so on July 21st of 2024.

00:23:22.400 So I was 10 days off in terms of predicting it.

00:23:25.860 And by the way, to be clear, I predicted that way back in September of 2023.

00:23:29.340 So so over a year earlier, I predicted within 10 days when they would throw Biden off the

00:23:36.040 ballot.

00:23:36.860 And and I'm going to make actually a brand new prediction here.

00:23:41.140 I'm going to predict that in the next year or two, we're going to get confirmation that

00:23:47.780 there was serious outreach to Michelle Obama to see if she was willing to replace Joe Biden

00:23:54.020 on the ballot and that Michelle Obama said no.

00:23:57.660 I don't know that.

00:23:58.660 But my instinct, my judgment tells me that happened.

00:24:02.100 And we'll see in the next year or two if that gets confirmed.

00:24:05.660 We'll have a subsequent podcast.

00:24:07.320 If that gets confirmed publicly, we'll go back and revisit it.

00:24:11.060 Regardless, prediction number three, Joe Biden will not be the nominee.

00:24:15.380 Check.

00:24:16.040 True.

00:24:16.800 Prediction number four, Joe Biden will be replaced by either Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama.

00:24:22.600 Check.

00:24:23.660 True.

00:24:24.180 So that's four predictions.

00:24:26.000 Let's move on to prediction number five.

00:24:28.740 Number five is another big one here, and that is the prediction that Joe Biden would pardon

00:24:36.900 death row inmates.

00:24:38.960 You said that it was going to happen and it did.

00:24:41.740 Plus, the even more, I would say, disgusting deal that was given out to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 0.90

00:24:49.720 the mastermind of 9-11, to spare his life.

00:24:54.960 The mastermind of 9-11 and a man that was also, before even 9-11, involved in many other

00:25:01.020 terrorist attacks that killed women and children and the elderly.

00:25:04.800 Innocent bystanders that he did around the world.

00:25:07.060 Well, and this is a prediction that we made on August 18th, 2023.

00:25:14.560 Give a listen to what we said back in August of 23.

00:25:18.200 I'm going to make a prediction as well, which is that these are not the only mass murderers

00:25:25.980 that I think this administration is going to refuse to follow federal law and impose the

00:25:31.640 death penalty.

00:25:31.960 And I'm going to make a prediction right now, which is Joe Biden, before he leaves the White

00:25:36.580 House, will commute the sentence of every federal prisoner on death row, that he will do it for

00:25:44.440 every one of them.

00:25:45.380 And that includes, it includes the white supremacist and Nazi who murdered nine African-Americans 0.98

00:25:53.920 at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in a horrific hate crime. 0.95

00:25:59.920 He's on federal death row.

00:26:01.660 It includes the Boston bomber who murdered innocent people by exploding a bomb at the Boston Marathon.

00:26:08.980 One of the two brothers is still alive.

00:26:11.180 He's on death row.

00:26:12.820 And my prediction right now is Joe Biden intends to spare every one of these mass murderers. 1.00

00:26:21.420 Every one of them, many of them are racist, bigoted, homicidal lunatics. 0.79

00:26:26.900 And I think we're going to see him commute all of their sentences before he leaves the 0.98

00:26:32.800 White House.

00:26:33.240 Well, if you won't take out the mastermind of 9-11 and you won't give him the death penalty,

00:26:39.340 is there anyone that you'll give it to?

00:26:41.600 I mean, it doesn't get any worse than this.

00:26:45.800 It doesn't.

00:26:46.740 And yet that's exactly what he's done.

00:26:48.340 Well, so my prediction, again, in August of 23, is that he would remove the death penalty,

00:26:55.020 that he would commute the death penalty for the federal death row prisoners.

00:26:58.360 That has come to pass.

00:26:59.780 Now, to be clear, this prediction proves slightly off.

00:27:03.820 I predicted that he would commute the sentence of every single federal death row prisoner.

00:27:08.020 He instead commuted the sentence of 37 out of the 40 federal death row inmates.

00:27:15.660 And so there were three he did not.

00:27:17.660 And interestingly enough, the three he did not are the three that I identified in October

00:27:23.180 or rather in August of 2023.

00:27:25.920 So the three he did not were the murderer at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh,

00:27:31.640 the murderer at the Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina, and the Boston Marathon bomber.

00:27:38.460 And those three are the only three he did not.

00:27:40.520 Now, I identified those three because they're the most horribly egregious.

00:27:44.600 They're the most famous and infamous. 0.97

00:27:47.000 They are, two of the three at least, are vicious, unrepentant racists.

00:27:53.820 And so I have to say my prediction, it was not 100% right.

00:27:56.620 It was 92.5% right because instead of commuting 40 death sentences, Biden commuted 37 out of 40.

00:28:05.160 And he left the three most egregious and famous ones off the table.

00:28:09.300 Why?

00:28:10.100 Because they knew that the press was so utterly corrupt that without those three that they would

00:28:15.840 get almost no criticism for it, that you would just go under the carpet, not really be seen.

00:28:23.080 And I have to say, I underestimated the incredible cynicism.

00:28:29.140 And I got to say, nonetheless, that that is a profound disrespect for the rule of law. 0.68

00:28:36.600 Among those that Biden did commute the sentences was a Nazi, an Aryan brotherhood racist.

00:28:45.500 You know, Joe Biden stepped forward and said, hey, we're the Democrat Party.

00:28:48.540 We're here. 0.65

00:28:48.960 We're here for Nazis and Klansmen. 0.99

00:28:51.760 I mean, it, but 90, 92.5% prediction, correct.

00:28:58.540 And sadly, another element of this prediction just, just became confirmed moments ago.

00:29:06.220 So, so this episode, we were talking about the plans to spare the life of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,

00:29:13.300 the mastermind of 9-11.

00:29:14.940 And, and this podcast put enormous public pressure on the White House.

00:29:20.320 The White House, Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about it.

00:29:22.720 And the heat became so much that they backed off of it.

00:29:26.260 Well, sadly, the news just broke that they're going back to trying to spare Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

00:29:32.220 They're trying to do it literally on the way out the door.

00:29:35.600 And the contempt that Joe Biden, this entire White House has for the voters.

00:29:40.480 They are trying to break everything on the way out the door.

00:29:43.420 They're trying to frustrate Donald Trump every way they can.

00:29:46.580 They are such vicious partisans that there is no, no respect for the Constitution, for the rule of law.

00:29:55.000 No respect for the voters.

00:29:56.180 They don't care what the voters said in November.

00:29:59.140 They are trying to literally break everything on the way out the door.

00:30:03.700 And I got to say, it is grotesque.

00:30:07.060 It really is.
