Ben Ferguson 0:00
This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
Ted Cruz 0:05
Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to have you with us. We've got some big breaking news. We're just going to start right away with it. Senator, I'm going to let you take it away for the announcement.
Unknown 0:16
Look, in an extraordinary story, Chuck Schumer has apologized to the American people. He said he's sorry. He is sorry that the Democrat Party has embraced open borders. He's sorry they allowed an invasion of this country. He said he's sorry there are a bunch of jihadist-loving lunatics who've defunded the Department of Homeland Security. And he said he's very, very sorry to every TSA agent he didn't pay, to every Coast Guardsman he's still not paying. to every Secret Service agent he's not paying, to every DHS officer he's not paying, to every FEMA official responsible for disasters. He has said he's sorry, and he said, look, the reason is... He's just cheap and scared, and he cares about power.
Ted Cruz 1:04
Is he going to get bonuses, though? I mean, that's what I want to know. Does he get their bonuses for showing up?
Unknown 1:09
He will give them all the Maduro cocaine they can take. Okay, I like it. I knew there was a catch here. Now, look, the only problem with this breaking news is the calendar date. Yes, yes, that'll do it. And sadly, it is April Fool's. The chances of that happening are as likely as pigs flying, as the moon turning to green cheese, as Chuck Schumer turning away from a camera. All of those are equally likely.
Ted Cruz 1:39
It's more likely you're going to shave your beard today.
Unknown 1:42
No, no, it's not.
Ted Cruz 1:44
No, okay, it's not. That thing is really there to stay, right? I just want to be real clear about that. You know, look, it would be impressive, Ben, if you could grow a beard. You know what? I did it once for that. Was it No Shave November? Remember that? And they asked me once on TV. Is anything visible? It was a little. There is one picture on the Internet. It's kind of hillbilly-esque. Is it patchy?

How have Democrats been accused of coddling radical Islamism?

Ted Cruz 2:05
What all comes in? It looked like I could have sold drugs on the side of the road. And so a producer called me one day and said, we're just curious if that beard is going to be gone by Sunday. When I was doing a show, I was like, I'll take the hint. I'll shave it off by Sunday. Yes. It made it look like I was homeless and seriously in need of guidance in life. So that picture is out on the Internet, though, I will say.
Unknown 2:29
You know, the sad thing, Ben, about that whole diatribe I went on on April Fool's and what Schumer apologized for, there's not a word I said that was false. I mean, the real April Fool's joke is the other 364 days a year when he refuses to do that, because that is the Democrat Party position. It is astonishing. And so today we're going to talk about We're going to talk about radical Islamic terrorism and how the Democrats have coddled it, how they've embraced it, how they've exposed us, how they've endangered us. And we're going to talk about it in a number of instances. We're going to talk about it concerning Michigan and the Michigan terror attack that we now know was inspired explicitly by Hezbollah.
Unknown 3:13
We're going to talk about it in New York City and Kamran Mandami apparently believing it is the responsibility of the mayor of New York City to defend the Ayatollah and to defend the Islamist regime in Iran. And then we're going to talk about it in terms of a radical left-wing Senate candidate in Michigan. who explained just how many Michiganders are sad, so very, very sad that the Ayatollah, the same Ayatollah who chants death to America, that he's no longer with us. And finally, we're going to talk about something that somehow is not an April Fool's joke. But the Washington Post this week came out and said, especially with the war in Iran, it underscores how the Democrats' Green New Deal energy agenda is hurting America profoundly.
Unknown 4:00
And that's actually not an April Fool's joke.
Ted Cruz 4:02
It is not. That's reality. That's real. You can't make that part up. We've got a lot to cover today. There are so many of you guys that I just want to say thank you that have really gotten into standing up for the people in Israel.
