BONUS: Epstein, Trump & WSJ-MAGA Battle Explodes, plus Congress Defunds NPR & PBS and Stephen Colbert Canceled
On this Bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson and Senator Cruz discuss: 🔥 1. Epstein Files and Trump Controversy We open with a heated discussion about the renewed focus on the Jeffrey Epstein files, with calls for transparency. Senator Cruz outlines four principles for handling the Epstein case: Transparency – Release all information. Protect the victims – Especially minors in explicit materials. Release it all – No selective disclosure. Prosecute predators – Hold all abusers accountable. The media is accused of using the Epstein case to sow division within the MAGA movement, particularly targeting Trump allies like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino. A Wall Street Journal article is criticized for allegedly publishing a fake letter from Trump to Epstein. Trump denies its authenticity and threatens legal action. 🏛️ 2. Congress Defunds NPR & PBS A major legislative update: Congress passed a bill to defund NPR and PBS, a long-standing conservative goal. Cruz and Ferguson argue that these outlets have become left-wing propaganda machines, citing examples of perceived bias and misuse of taxpayer funds. Senator Cruz praises the unity among Republicans in the Senate and House to push the measure through, despite internal resistance. 📺 3. Stephen Colbert and the Fall of Late-Night Comedy Cruz celebrates the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, framing it as a cultural victory for conservatives. Colbert is described as a partisan, elitist figure who alienated half the country with anti-Trump rhetoric and COVID-19 vaccine advocacy. Cruz reminisces about a time when late-night comedy was bipartisan and fun, contrasting it with what he sees as Colbert’s divisive tone. The hosts play clips mocking Colbert’s vaccine-themed musical segments and criticize the influence of pharmaceutical sponsorships.
