This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to have you with us on this Monday morning. Senator, we've got a lot to talk about, including as we speak, we're in a partial government shutdown. We're going to cover what that actually means. Plus, we've got two other big stories as well.
Well, that's right.
What does a short government shutdown mean for federal services?
We're going to explain what is happening with the shutdown, what's going to happen next, how long it's going to last. We're also going to talk about the fact that there was a landmark verdict for the first time of an individual who transitioned, had a young woman who had both of her breasts removed in a transgender surgery. who then realized it was a catastrophic mistake, and she filed a lawsuit and ended up being awarded $2 million, the first ever verdict of its kind. We're going to talk about the consequences of that as well. And finally, we're going to talk about Donald Trump, just this week, pulled out of 66 different UN committees, withdrawing us from massive global entanglements. We're going to explain what that means and why he did so.
Yeah, it's going to be really interesting to hear that story. It's going to also save Americans a lot of money. So let's start with the government shutdown. And this is a partial government shutdown. The media is not playing this up with all the fear mongering they did with the last shutdown, partly because the Democrats didn't get what they wanted out of the last government shutdown. They thought it was going to help them significantly in the polls. That didn't really work out. So for Americans right now that are waking up and they're like, all right, we got a partial government shutdown. What does that actually mean for them?
What are the implications of the landmark detransitioner lawsuit?
What services could disappear? Are there going to be lines at the airport? And how long could this last?
Well, listen, I think this is going to be very short-lived. It is a partial government shutdown. Much of the government is funded already. And the way a government shutdown operates is that any essential services are funded regardless. And so what is temporarily shut down is what each cabinet agency deems a non-essential service. I think at the end of the day, this is going to last a day or two at most. So what happened last week is the Senate passed legislation funding the government, funding the entirety of the government through the fiscal year except for the Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Homeland Security, it funded a two-week continuing resolution. That has gone to the House.
The House is back now. Today is Monday. The House will be back, I predict, by Tuesday. The House will have passed this, and the President will have signed it. So I think this shutdown will extend a couple of days. By the way, it's worth noting the government shuts down every weekend. And so the government shut down on Sunday and nobody on planet Earth noticed. I think we will see because Sunday people were at home. They were going to church. They were with their families. They were not expecting government offices to be open. So I think it will be a very brief delay. I will point out also.
How does the $2 million verdict impact future gender-affirming care lawsuits?
that on Sunday, Steny Hoyer and Jim Clyburn, both senior Democrats in the leadership of the House, told House Democrats on their private caucus call that they should vote yes to pass the government funding package this week. And, you know, it's interesting. That was sent out on Twitter this weekend. And lefties just lost their mind. I'm going to read you the first couple of comments that come off. First says, this is getting ridiculous. These people are rapists and murderers. Are they effing serious? Shut it effing down at DNC. The second comment, eff no, Steny Hoyer and James Clyburn. You are not speaking for your base, which is why your fundraising is down. No funding for ICE until real reform.
What are the reasons behind Trump's withdrawal from UN agencies?
They're killing us, and you want to give them more money to do that? I'm so tired of you. We are experiencing true evil. Here's the fourth comment. What the literal F. Stop all caps, exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark.
