Welcome, it is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. Senator, we've got one heck of a show. We're dealing with, well, some Democrats that just fell flat on their face on the international stage. We have that for you. Also, Barack Obama decided to go after law enforcement again. And we even got you a little update on the sewage problem on the Potomac that Democrats are mishandling yet again.
Ted Cruz 0:27
Yeah, look, all of that is happening. We had three likely Democrat presidential candidates in Munich at the Munich Security Conference. They tried to engage in foreign policy. Let me just say it did not go well. You had AOC, you had Gretchen Whitmer and you had Gavin Newsom. And it was a mess. We're going to come with the details where you're going to listen to exactly what they said. You're being kind. And boy, all three of them wish they could do do a take two and reset. As you noted, Barack Obama also, I guess he was feeling lonely, you know, laying back at his mansion, collecting the millions of dollars Hollywood has paid him. And so he decided to get back in the political fray by unleashing a flamethrower, attacking ICE, attacking Trump.
Ted Cruz 1:13
Just, just... viciously engaging in the partisan battle. We're going to break that down for you as well. And finally, as you noted, we're going to give an update on the billion gallons of sewage that Democrats have dumped into the Potomac River. And the latest update on that, as bad as that story is, the latest update's even worse.
Ben Ferguson 1:34
Yeah, it really is. I want to take a moment and I want to talk to you real quick about an organization that is just doing amazing work. It is called Compassion International. I want you to just pause what you're doing for the next 60 seconds. And I want you to imagine Lucy, a seven-year-old. Her stomach often aches with hunger.

Why did Democratic candidates struggle with foreign policy at the Munich Security Conference?

Ben Ferguson 1:52
Her small hands, instead of holding crayons, know only the struggle of survival on dusty streets. School is a distant dream. Medical care, a forgotten hope. Lucy's potential is overshadowed. Her future is dim. But what if someone stepped in? What if there was a way to ignite hope for children just like Lucy? Well, there is. And that is with Compassion International Partners and the local churches that provide children holistic support. More than just food, they receive creativity. critical medical care, life-changing education, vital skills training, and spiritual development, all in Jesus' name. And you can empower a child just like Lucy to break free from poverty. I want you to do what I've done and sponsor a child today.
Ben Ferguson 2:41
You can visit Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com. All right. So let's start with this security event in Munich that they have. And can you explain to people why this event is kind of like a resume thing? If you're looking to run for office, if you're trying to raise your stature, you show up there in Munich. It's a kumbaya event is how I describe it. But give people the background and why everyone that's trying to be somebody wants to be there in the political world.
Ted Cruz 3:11
Yeah, look, the Munich Security Conference is held every year and it's in Munich, obviously. And you get you get quite a few leaders from the United States who go over. You get both Republicans and Democrats. I've been to it numerous times. You get foreign heads of state. You get secretaries of state. You get foreign ministers. And they're from all over. A lot of Europeans go and people more broadly go. And it can be a very productive time because when you go, There are these panel discussions and conferences, but you also do a whole series of one on one meetings. And so you can go to one place and meet with a half dozen different heads of state. So it can be very efficient in terms of having productive national security and foreign policy conversations.
Ted Cruz 3:54
Now, two people who went, I believe, for the first time were AOC and Gretchen Whitmer. Now, it is no secret that. that both of them are looking quite seriously at running for president as a Democrat, only because the Communist Party is not having a contested primary.
