Welcome, it is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, and again, welcome to so many of you that are listening to this podcast, maybe for the first time after the launch of our syndicated radio show on the weekends. We are so happy to have you with us here and to be with you guys three days a week online.

on this podcast. So if you are new, make sure you hit that subscribe or that auto download button right now so you do not miss an episode. And if you're around this weekend, check your local news talk station and find Verdict on the weekend there as we do this new syndicated radio show. Senator, we've got a lot to talk about today on today's show. We've got four different big stories and we're going to be going rapid fire.

Well, we are. We're going to move through a lot. And I got to say, as you noted, this past weekend was our debut on radio. And we ended up being on more than 100 stations. At first, we thought it was going to be 84. We had over 100 stations that took up the podcast, aired it across the country. We were in markets all over the country. We were in some of the biggest markets in the nation. And I got to say, that's really a credit to the incredible listeners of Verdict.

that we're trying to talk about the big issues that are facing the country and to debut on more than 100 stations our first weekend is really strong. We're glad to be doing it. Yeah, it really was a blast. I got to say, the most fun part, Senator, was getting you into radio timing because I had to get you in this like, hey, we got eight minutes and we go to break even if we're still talking. That was really fun for me to watch you like, oh, wow, we really do have break times now. That was new for you.

Yeah, I've gotten spoiled with the podcast where you can talk about an issue, you can address it as deep as you want. If you've got five minutes of content on it, you talk five minutes. If you've got 40 minutes of content, you talk 40. The podcast format is nice, but now our Friday pod will be more rigidly timed because radio, you've got to fit into slots. So today's pod, which is a pure pod, it's not going to be a radio pod, we've got four topics we're going to address. Number one.

The border, the numbers from the border are astonishing. Under Donald Trump ending catch and release, illegal border crossings have dropped not 90%, not 95%.

Not even 99%. They have dropped 99.99%. It is staggering. It is stunning. We're going to explain everything that has happened on that. Second, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case called Mahmoud versus Taylor. The fundamental question is, do parents have a right to opt out of radical transgender ideology being taught to their kids?

I think the Supreme Court is going to rule, yes, parents do have that right, but it's a fundamental case about the rights of parents to say, we want to protect our children, particularly our young children, kindergartners, first, second, third graders, who in Maryland, they were indoctrinating with radical left-wing transgender ideology. Number three.

Elizabeth Warren did a podcast. Now, that was a mistake. Listen, if you are a left-wing communist nutbag who doesn't like to tell the truth, a podcast is a really bad format for you. Because in a podcast, people can actually ask questions. They can press you. And Elizabeth Warren had truly a train wreck interview on a podcast.

where she was called out for brazenly lying to the American people about Joe Biden's mental acuity. We're going to break that down. And finally, in the state of Minnesota, there's a state employee who repeatedly vandalized Tesla's, caused over $20,000 in damage.

And the woke George Soros DA gave him a slap on the wrist and let him go. It is outrageous. We're going to break that down as well. Yeah, it's a really important story and one you do not want to miss. I want to tell you real quick about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

As you know, unfortunately, Israel is still under attack. Missile fire has resumed from Israel's enemies, and terrorists are there who seek utter death and destruction of the Jewish people. Now, here in America, we really can't imagine what it's like to live in constant fear like this. But for the people of Israel, it's all very real, and it's every single day. And that's why I'm asking you to join me and show the people of Israel that you will help protect them in this time of attack and uncertainty.

And one of the best ways to do this is by giving to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Your gift today helps provide security essentials like bomb shelters, flak jackets, and bulletproof vests. It also provides for armored security vehicles, armored ambulances, and so much more. There's no better time to give than right now during the Passover holiday when we celebrate Israel's historic deliverance and birth as a nation. So give a special Passover gift today and help protect the people of Israel. You

You can do this by calling 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-IFCJ. Or you can go online to supportifcj.org. That's one word, supportifcj.org.

Senator, let's start with that big story. Number one, these numbers are incredible. Under the Trump catch and release has dropped by 99.9%. That is not a typo. Those are the real numbers coming out under this Trump administration. Ben, you actually overstated it. It's not 99.9%.

It's 99.99. It is even greater. And I'm going to tell you two numbers, two numbers that tell the story and it'll take your breath away. 189,604 and 20. Now, what are those numbers?

189,604 is the number of illegal immigrants that Border Patrol agents caught and then immediately released in the Biden administration in the month of December 2023, when the border invasion was the very worst. 189,604. Do you know how many illegal immigrants were caught and released in the U.S. in February of this year? I'm very excited to hear this number, by the way. 20.

Wow. Not 189,604, 20. And that is one one hundredth of one percent. That is a staggering, staggering number. And I got to say on this podcast, you and I talked about and we laid out that that the border would shut down, the border would be secured. And I said I said last year before the election, it's not going to take a year. It's not going to take six months.

It is going to be done in months or even weeks or even days. And why is that? You might say, well, wait a second. We're three months into the Trump administration. They haven't built a new wall. They haven't hired a bunch of new border patrol agents. How did it change? And understand the single biggest determinant of securing the border is one very simple policy question. What happens when you apprehend an illegal immigrant? And if the answer is no,

You put them on a plane and you fly them back to the country they came from. Just about everyone that comes here illegally, they show up with a cell phone. And when you do that, they pick up the phone, they call their friends and family back home and they say, don't come.

If you come, they're going to catch you and they're going to send you back. So don't waste the time and money and go through the horrific physical and sexual abuse and the inhumane treatment of human traffickers. Don't come because they're sending you back. And so it's instantaneous. Once you implement the policy of we will send you back, people stop coming. But the flip side is true. Under Joe Biden and the Democrats, when people got apprehended and Biden let him go,

Those same illegal immigrants had cell phones and they picked up the phone and they called their friends and family and they said, come, come on up, because if you show up, you get to stay. And so on January 20th, Donald Trump changed the policy and said no.

If someone comes, we are no longer going to let them stay. We're not going to release them. We're going to send them home. And the drop 99.99%. My single favorite line from the State of the Union that Trump gave earlier this year was a year ago, Joe Biden stood in front of the American people and said, Congress needed to pass a new law before he could secure the border. Turns out we didn't need new legislation.

We just needed a new president.

He was spot on about it. And that's the part I think that's so incredible is this shows you just how deliberate it was by Joe Biden, by the Democrats to make sure that this was a conscientious plan. It wasn't an accident. Yes. It's something that you and I talked about here. It was not an accident. This was deliberate. It was deliberate to change the United States of America forever. And it was deliberate even though they knew the...

That they were releasing people who were criminals, who were murderers, who were rapists, who were child molesters, who were terrorists.

They released vast numbers of violent criminals into this country, and they did it knowing full well Americans would be murdered, knowing full well women would be raped, children would be raped, there would be horrific crimes, and the Democrats were willing to let people die. Why? I mean, I've had people ask me all the time, why would they do this? Why would they allow an invasion of our country like this? And the only answer that makes any modicum of sense

is the Democrats viewed every illegal alien as a future Democrat voter. And they prioritized power, staying in power, their remaining in power above the lives of you and your family. They were willing to let Americans be murdered, be raped, children be horribly brutalized.

If it meant Democrats stayed in power, that that is cynical at a level. It's very hard to think of another parallel in modern times to that. Which, by the way, you look at what you're talking about with the cynical. So let's move to then part two of this now, which is House Democrats.

have arrived in El Salvador to push for Albrecht Garcia's return, a guy that is a very clearly MS-13 gang member, not because I say so, not because you say so, Senator, but because two courts have said so, as well as federal authorities, as well as his country of origin. Well, look, Chris Van Hollen, the Democrat senator from Maryland, went down to El Salvador, had this

Meeting with this illegal immigrant where he sat there at the table looking googly eyes. He frankly looked like a teenage boy with acne staring at the pretty girl with pigtails and braces. He was the level of love he had was bizarre. I tweeted out, I said, find someone who looks at you the way Democrat senators look at illegal alien gang members that are in MS-13. Like it is bizarre.

weird. And it's even weirder. The Democrats have decided this is who they are as a party. So this week after Chris Van Hollen, we saw lots of House members going down to El Salvador going, oh, I want to meet with a gang member, too, because, you know, that's what Democrats do. It's amazing and it's sad. And it's a sign of just how out of touch congressional Democrats are with with ordinary Americans.

Yeah, it really is. And this comes on the on the heels of a new report out that the Soros funded groups were behind the Democrats plan all along to decriminalize illegal immigration. Apparently, several non-governmental organizations, NGOs,

Funded in part by Alex and George Soros' Open Society Foundations, they convinced Democrats to adopt a platform as a party that sought to, quote, decriminalize illegal immigration to the United States despite its unpopularity with Americans because they understood that you can change a country by flooding it with millions and millions of new prospective citizens. The Democrat Party, their number one priority is power.

And they prioritize staying in power over your life, your family's safety, your community. They prioritize it over fairness of your daughter competing in sports. They prioritize it over...

your family's well-being, even as they cause rampant inflation. It's why the election was such a route, because they were so focused on staying in power that they implemented policies that were unbelievably harmful. And I got to say, this is something I've talked with President Trump about. In some ways, I am grateful that President Trump did not serve back-to-back consecutive terms.

Because if he had served a second term immediately after the 2016 term, he would have come in in a close contested election. It would have been it would have been ugly and he would have been able to accomplish a fraction of what he's accomplishing now. Part a big part of the reason Trump is accomplishing so much now is that that Joe Biden and the Democrats did such a horrible job.

that people are ready to change. This was a change election with a mandate that, frankly, if Trump had come in in 2020, you would not have had the same kind of mandate that we have in 2024. So I'm not grateful for the horrific damage that was done to the country for four years, but I am grateful for...

that Trump this second term came in with a much greater mandate and the American people much more eager for fundamental change because they saw just how disastrous these left-wing policies are.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.

In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The best way to understand all sides of an issue is to know all sides of an issue. Can't get that in the mainstream media, which is why you've got to listen to some Clay and Buck for another point of view. Buck, why are you going third person? Because, Clay, I think this ad is running in places that might not exactly align with all of our politics or even know who we are. It's impossible. But...

Maybe if it's true, I bet if they did listen, they'd end up agreeing with us on at least one issue, even if they secretly won't admit it. Well, the only way they're going to find out is if they download the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever they get their pods. We're easy to find, unlike your wife at Costco.

Clay, you speak the truth, but we're already losing people. I think I gained one or two just now. In case you haven't noticed, we like to have a lot of fun as well as talk about what's going on in the world. Come hang with us today and every day at Clay and Buck. Download the iHeartRadio app, search out those names, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton, and come hang.

Which brings us to topic number two, and that deals with the Supreme Court is now hearing arguments about the issue of parents protecting their kids from gender ideology in public schools. This is another agenda item of the radical left trying to take over not only your parental rights, saying that your kids are really not yours, the government owns your children, but they can indoctrinate them on radical gender ideology issues in the schools. And now this is headed to the Supreme Court.

So the Supreme Court heard oral argument this week in a case called Mahmoud versus Taylor. And in Mahmoud versus Taylor, the question is, do parents have a right, number one, to be notified of sexually explicit gender ideology lessons in public schools, and number two, to opt their children out for religious reasons? And this came out of Montgomery County, Maryland.

And where they're giving children as young as four years old books that have discussed, quote, intersex flags, drag queens, underwear, leather, zipper, XOXO. I don't even know what that means. The Montgomery County public school system has over 50,000 elementary students. It's the largest school system in Maryland, one of the largest in the country.

And the school system there insisted that parents have zero rights to opt out of these radical lessons. And look, to be clear, there's a wide range of parents who, for religious reasons or other reasons, don't want their kids to hear this garbage. And they could be Christians, they could be Muslims, they could be Jews, they could be Protestants or Catholics, but...

Across the range of faith, there are a lot of faiths who actually believe there's a difference between boys and girls. By the way, there are people who even are not religious who are basically not idiots and know that there is a difference between boys and girls. And the extreme view of the school district was you have no right. You have no right to know about it, and you have no right to opt in.

And so they adopted an initiative entitled, quote, Building Community with LGBTQ plus affirming picture books. And understand, this is not high school students. We're talking preschool, kindergarten, first, second, third grade, little kids. And teachers have been given a quota of these books to use in the classroom and are supposed to have the lessons, quote, embedded throughout, right?

and parents. So for example, one of the books in the curriculum resources was a book entitled Pride Puppy, which had illustrated pictures of men in drag, furries, and words such as queer and intersectional. There's another book called Born Ready, a story about a five-year-old girl named Penelope who decides that she is really a he.

And by the way, you know what the reaction of the school district, the reaction of the radical leftist was to parents who said, look, this is contrary to my faith. Don't teach this garbage to my kids. They said, go private. If you don't like what we're teaching, go to a private school. We're going to force this ideology on you. And it's an example of the incredible intolerance of the left that that.

Look, understand the plaintiffs in this case are not saying ban the books. They're not saying don't teach this to the kids. They're saying, let me know. And let me say, you know what? I don't want my kid to hear this garbage. You can teach it to other kids if their parents are okay with it. But don't force it on my kid. I think the plaintiffs are going to win in this case. I think they're going to uphold the rights of parents to say...

you have an ability to reject this extreme ideology being forced on your kids. Well, and the White House, by the way, getting in on this as well. Caroline Leavitt, the White House, made it clear where the White House stands on this. Here's what she said. And then on the Supreme Court, I know the court is hearing a case dealing with parents who don't want their kids having to read gender ideology books in schools. Can you comment on that case and what the Trump administration hopes to see come from that? Sure. We hope the Supreme Court will do the right thing. And the president has been very clear. He stands...

on the side of parental rights and he believes strongly that parents should have a greater say in their children's education and the content, if you will, that children are being exposed to in our public school system. I mean, pretty clear there, they're all in. This is about parents, parental rights.

and the parents being able to protect and decide what they're going to teach their kid and when they're going to teach it, especially when it comes to things like this. But your tax dollars should not be going to these types of books to indoctrinate your kids. Do you feel, Senator, because I genuinely feel this for the first time in a long time,

We're starting to see the pendulum swing now in a very big way back towards, I think, sanity. And parents are now getting involved. We witnessed this in the last administration where they started fighting back once they realized what was happening to their kids in schools and seeing what was happening with COVID and learning and distance learning and parents fighting.

They were being labeled domestic terrorists for showing up at school board meetings. There, there does seem to be now a, a, a real focus on parents getting back involved. And that is a blessing, I think in disguise out of all this radical stuff the left has been doing. Absolutely. It is, you know, one of the books that was being taught to,

to children in these Maryland preschools and first, second, third grade classes is a book that is entitled What Are Your Words? And What Are Your Words? is a picture book, and so it has little cartoon drawings. And there's a picture of a little boy who says, sometimes I just use one set of pronouns. Sometimes I change my pronouns.

sometimes I use all the pronouns I can think of. So the first picture is a little boy, and he's wearing a skirt, a flowered skirt, because of course that's what little boys wear. The second picture where he's, sometimes I change my pronouns, he's wearing jeans and a light blue shirt with a cloud on it, because there I guess he's calling himself a boy. And then the last picture, he uses all the pronouns he can. And then the next page, I want to read you the words on it.

My pronouns are like the weather. They change depending on how I feel. And then this little boy is smiling with joy. And he says, and that's okay because they're my words. This is telling four-year-olds. You wake up in the morning and you think you're a boy. You're a boy. If at noon you think you're a girl, you're a girl.

And at three, I don't know, you think you're a cat? You're a cat. Like, this is nuts. This is loopy. And it reminds me, we've discussed on this podcast the Florida law that Ron DeSantis signed into law that was pejoratively called by the media the don't say gay law.

It actually said don't teach sexually explicit things to little children, to children in preschool, kindergarten, first, second, and third grade. By the way, fourth graders, you can get into kinky S&M. You can get into any crazy stuff you want. But it was Florida saying, look, at least third grade and below, let's leave the sex out of the classroom. And I got to say...

My kids are now no longer in elementary school, but I don't want any teacher teaching young children about sex, whether straight sex or gay sex or any other kind. Like it is bizarre that the left is willing and wants to to indoctrinate four year olds that that gender doesn't exist. As I read from this book, my pronouns are like the weather.

They change depending on how I feel. That is the ideology of the radical left and it's complete nonsense. Yeah, it really is. I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile. You've heard me talk about Patriot Mobile for a while now, and you probably already know that for years they've stood in the gap for every American that believes freedom is actually worth fighting for. Well, let me tell you, they're the real deal. And so let me ask you this question. Have you switched to Patriot Mobile yet?

Do you know that every time you make a phone call, every time you send a text, you're actually fighting for your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children? And every time you pay a bill to your cell phone provider, are you making a difference standing up for our wounded warriors, our veterans, and for conservative organizations? Well...

here's the thing. If the answer is no, then it's time for you to switch to Patriot Mobile. Now, if you're worried about coverage, don't be because Patriot Mobile is one of the few cell phone service providers that actually operate on all three of the major networks. Meaning if you've got great coverage now, you're going to keep great coverage.

But you're going to get rid of that radical left agenda that big mobile has. The fact is, if you've got a cell phone in this country today, you can get exceptional or even better service with Patriot Mobile. And that's why they offer a coverage guarantee that others don't.

Or maybe you haven't joined Patriot Mobile because you think making the switch is just hard or painful. Well, I'm here to tell you I've done it. It's not. In fact, it's easy now. In 2025, there's no need to spend hours in a retail store waiting your turn. You simply call Patriot Mobile's 100% U.S.-based team from the comfort of your home or office, and they'll take care of the rest. Plus, Patriot Mobile's contract buyout program covers up to $500 per device.

And you get to keep your same number, keep your same cell phone, or treat yourself to an upgrade. So what are you waiting for? Join Patriot Mobile today and make a difference with every bill you pay, with every phone call you make, with every text you send. You'll be supporting faith, faith,

family and freedom. So here's the number 972-PATRIOT. That's 972-PATRIOT. Use the promo code VERDICT and you're going to get a free month of service. You can also go online to patriotmobile.com slash VERDICT. That's patriotmobile.com slash VERDICT or 972-PATRIOT.

All right. So let's move on real quick to Elizabeth Warren. And my oh my, is it nice to see people like Elizabeth be called out for what they were part of? I think it's going to go down in history as one of the biggest cover ups in political history, certainly in my lifetime. The hiding center of Joe Biden's mental decline. And now she's being called out for being a part of it.

Yeah, and I want to take this segment to talk about the importance of podcasts. And that may seem a little self-serving given what you and I are doing right now. But the podcast format, long-form interviews. Look, one of the critical differences in the 2024 election

is Donald Trump went on podcast where he would let Joe Rogan, he'd let other podcast hosts question him for hours on end about any topic under the sun. And Kamala Harris was terrified to do that. She wouldn't do that because in a long form interview, it's very hard to lie. Like if you have a host who's willing to call you to account, lying over an extended period of time is difficult. Now, Elizabeth Warren appeared on a podcast called Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso.

Now, I'm not familiar with Sam Fragoso. You're not a loyal listener? I'm shocked by that. I thought you were like a subscriber and everything. Well, Fox News describes him as a left-leaning host. I will say he may be a left-leaning host, but I want to commend him. Sam Fragoso did a great job

In this interview of calling out Elizabeth Warren's blatant mendacity. And all right, don't take my word for it. Just give a listen. This is only 62 seconds. Listen to this interview. And Elizabeth Warren gets in deep, deep trouble because she's lying and she gets caught lying. Give a listen. Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity? He had a sharpness to him. You said that up until July of last year.

I said what I believed to be true. And you think he was as sharp as you? I said I had not seen decline. And I hadn't at that point. You did not see any decline from 2024 Joe Biden to 2021 Joe Biden? Not when I said that. You know, the thing is, he... Look...

He was sharp. He was on his feet. I saw him. Live event. I had meetings with him a couple of times. Senator, on his feet is not praise. He can speak in sentences is not praise. Fair enough. Fair enough. Look, it is. The question is, what are we going to do now? Okay.

I love the bailout there. Well, the question is, what are we going to do now? And this liberal host is like, okay, I mean, they're in shambles. And I will give this host a lot of credit. At least he spoke truth to power there. Like, you guys were just straight up lying and covering up. And now you want us to help you rebuild the party that you just destroyed by not being honest with us about the last candidate being incapacitated. Who, oh, by the way, happened to be the president of the United States of America.

And by the way, I got to say, you heard the audio. It's actually worth going online and watching the video because when he asks, was he as sharp as you, like her expression, she like almost laughs and she can't say yes. And she's just trapped. She's like, no, no, I said what I believed. He's like, no, you didn't. You were lying.

And I love his point on his feet. That's your praise for the president. He could stand up. Yeah, that's not being sharp and engaged that that he is able to stand. And I got to say, it's interesting online. One person, Will McEvoy, tweeted case in point, faking it doesn't work anymore. Warren can't do long form because long form demands authenticity and she has none.

And then Tyler Winklevoss, the Bitcoin investor who was one of the people who initially was involved in starting Facebook. And if you remember the movie, The Social Network, he and his twin accused Mark Zuckerberg of stealing Facebook from them, the whole back and forth. Anyway, Tyler Winklevoss tweeted the following, quote, long form also demands truth.

Liars usually can't handle one or two basic follow-up questions. That's why confirmed liar Elizabeth Warren gets cooked here. And that's why the Democrat Party is so broken right now. They have a truth problem. And that is a simple... It's actually, it's a testament to podcasts that look...

You get on, you engage, you have a real conversation. And if you're used to a six minute hit where you can spin and be dishonest, that is a very difficult thing to do in a podcast where you have a host who pushes you. And the corporate media doesn't do that. And it's so here's what I tweeted today. I said, watch this.

Democrats now routinely lie and the corporate media almost never calls them out for it. And yet one podcaster can effortless effortlessly unmask it in 62 seconds. Yeah, it's incredible. Which, by the way, also brings us to another issue real quick. And that is I still can't believe this. There's a guy that went viral, a Minnesota state employee.

who apparently caused about 20,000 or over 20,000 damages to Tesla's, I'm going to say that, make it clear, plural, not one, but multiple. It has now led to a woke liberal district attorney saying, nah, we don't really want to hold this guy accountable. Let's keep the lawlessness up as long as it's against conservatives and Elon Musk and Tesla owners. We're fine with that. No big deal. You're good, man. We're going to let you basically go on home.

Well, there is a suspected vandal. He's 33 years old. He is a government employee. His name is Dylan Brian Adams. And he was allegedly spotted keying multiple Tesla vehicles, stripping their paint off while walking his dog around the city. And he caused over $20,000 in damage, vandalizing half a dozen Tesla. So he was doing this over and over and over again. And by the way,

If this guy did this, he's dumb as a stump because Teslas all have cameras on them that video the person, any person who walks up to them. So he's doing it on camera because leftists, number one, they're utter hypocrites. So their claim to care about the Green New Deal are complete lies because they've decided now to attack electric cars. Why? Because they hate Elon Musk. And understand, they hate Elon Musk not just because he's now supporting Trump.

not just because he's now cutting the government. They hate Elon Musk because he's a heretic. This is religion and the woke leftist cultural Marxist religion. Five years ago, lionized Elon Musk and they view him as someone who has betrayed the faith.

And so this angry government employee, who as far as I know has not lost his job despite being a brazen criminal, was caught keying and vandalizing six different Teslas. And unfortunately, the Henneman County District Attorney is a woman named Mary Moriarty, who is a left-wing George Soros D.A.,

And she decided that they're not going to go after her, that they're not going to charge him. And it is unfortunate. So the chief of police, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara, said that the damage in each case is the equivalent of a felony. And the chief said in a scathing statement on Monday, this is from the New York Post,

that Moriarty's decision not to bring charges is frustrating for his officers and the public. And here's what the police chief said. Quote, the Minneapolis Police Department did its job. It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified and arrested a suspect, and presented the case file to the Henneman County District, the Henneman County Attorney's Office for consideration of charges. The case impacted at least six different victims.

and totaled over $20,000 in damage. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Henneman County attorney should be directed solely at her office. Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they pour their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same. That's the chief of police, and the sad reality is

is that for leftists today, for elected Democrats, they are now openly embracing domestic terrorism. They are now openly... We played on this podcast before. Chuck Schumer refused to condemn people firebombing Tesla dealerships, people throwing Molotov cocktails at Tesla dealerships, people firing...

into Tesla dealerships. Somebody's going to be killed. I don't want that to happen. I pray it does not happen. But this escalating violence is going to lead to a loss of life. And the Democrats are celebrating it. And now the left-wing DAs are saying, hey, you vandalized cars and we decide we don't like the person who owns the company that built the car. Well,

Well, tough luck. Sorry, Ben, we're going to scratch up your car. We're going to key it. We're going to do thousands of dollars of damage and nothing you can do about it because we, the Democrats, support domestic terrorism.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. And there's also that just scary psychological aspect of it. If you know your D.A. won't go after people that are going after your car, is it going to make you more or less likely to buy a Tesla? That's part of the the financial warfare against Elon Musk. And by the way, what's the D.A. going to do if they commit violence against you? What's the D.A. going to do if they commit violence against you?

Yeah. Like if this radical leftist is able to vandalize a Tesla, how about if he walks up and punches the owner of the Tesla in the face? Yeah. Do you have any confidence that this left wing nutcase DA is going to charge the radical with punching someone in the face? Their view is, hey, if you're punching a Tesla owner in the face, that's that's an admirable act of resistance. It is lawless. And let me be clear. I disagree with the political views of

of Marxists and communists and leftists, but I passionately oppose violence against them. And if anyone engaged in violence against a leftist, I would support prosecuting them and sending them to jail. Violence is never acceptable. And you know what? The Democrats can't say that because they support, they refuse to condemn the violence against their political opponents because it is part of their ideology. And we saw that

tragically during the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots across the country where Kamala Harris most strikingly raised money to bail out of jail radical Antifa terrorists who committed crimes of violence in Minneapolis, same city,

because the Democrat Party is a party that supports violence in pursuit of their remaining in power. Yeah, bingo. Don't forget we do this show Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
