Ted Cruz
Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. And this is going to be an abnormal podcast. I say that because the Senator and I are getting ready for two big podcasts that will come out on Thursday and Friday with James Comer. Now, why are we doing it on Thursday and Friday? Senator, you can explain to people that this is a big day Wednesday with these whistleblowers that are going to come forward and testify. And right after they're done, we're going to be doing a sit down with James Comer for a two part interview about everything that deals the Biden crime family.
Ben Ferguson
Well, that's exactly right. And so today's podcast is an abbreviated podcast. It's going to be shorter than normal. And that's because this is today's podcast is essentially an extra bonus podcast. And we will do a full podcast on Thursday, a full podcast on Friday, both of which are going to be a two part deep dive into the House Oversight Committee hearing that is occurring on Wednesday, occurring today, where we're gonna have testimony from the IRS whistleblowers. And so we're gonna sit down with James Comer right after that testimony and we're gonna walk you through in real substance. Look, we know that the mainstream media, the corporate media, is not gonna cover much of what's said in the testimony. And we know that even the coverage you get is gonna be a minute or two. This podcast is gonna walk you through with the chairman of the committee. What did we learn today? And it'll be a sit down. We'll do it live and in person. So it'll be on audio, but it'll also be on YouTube so you can watch it on video as well.
Ted Cruz
One of the things that I'm excited about with this is this is going to be basically a Cliff Note show where people are going to be able to go back whenever this continues to evolve and understand where we started and what happened in chronological order. And that's why we're doing it in a two part series, because the media has missed so much. And, and having James Comer and sitting down with him as the chairman, as you just described it, Senator, is something that's going to be really important because this is what you can understand from beginning to end, how we got to these whistleblowers, what happened before that, and what happened before that, and what happened before that. Because this has been a saga with the Biden crime family and dots that are being reconnected after suspicious activ slavery reports come out. And after we find out about bank statements and records and payments going to multiple Biden family members. That's why these two shows are going to, in essence, be evergreen. It's going to be something that you can go back and reference or send to your friends that maybe they're just now learning about this Biden crime family and the corruption, the millions in payments. You can say, hey, listen to these two shows and you can hear everything and how we got to where we are now in 2023.
Ben Ferguson
Well, that's exactly right. And the evidence keeps piling up, the news keeps breaking. We just discovered that on Monday of this week, the House Oversight Committee conducted a transcribed interview with a former FBI supervisory special agent that was assigned to the FBI's Wilmington office and the Biden criminal investigation. So we already have two IRS whistleblowers, but we now have another FBI whistleblower. And this FBI whistleblower corroborated very significant elements of what the IRS whistleblowers have put out. And so you've got three senior career whistleblowers, two at the irs, one at the FBI, that are all testifying as to the political cover up and the efforts by political appointees at DOJ to protect Hunter Biden and most critically, to protect the big guy, Joe Biden, and to prevent any investigation into the corruption and potential receipt of bribery by Joe Biden from foreign nationals.
Ted Cruz
You know, this is again a show and I say it to everybody. We want to hear from you. And you put out a tweet center. I put out a tweet as well. You can tweet your questions that you would like to be answered by James Comer. There's a lot of you that have been following this and maybe you don't understand something. You follow Senator Cruz. You can do his account at Ted Cruz. Mine is Ben Ferguson show, at Ben Ferguson show. And you can send us your questions that you want to ask because, look, you and I were, were down in Florida just a couple days ago at Turning Point and many people, I, I know you guys, we got so much feedback that you loved hearing it with a live audience. We're going to be doing that more moving forward.
Ben Ferguson
But if you didn't listen to Monday's pod, which is live in front of Turning Point usa, you ought to go back and listen to it because it was a hot pod. There were 3,000 energized young people. We took Q and A from the audience. It was really, I think, a lot of fun. And if you didn't listen to it, you want to go back and catch.
Ted Cruz
That, well, and some of the Q and A that happened in that, Senator, is why I, you and I said before the show, let's get people to send in their questions. This is where we get to interact with you. And there were so many people at Turning Point that were walking up and they're asking amazing questions. Why aren't they in jail? Why isn't this happening? Why is there a double standard? So if you have a question that you want us to ask Congressman Comer, send us a tweet again at Ted Cruz. You can see it up there. We'll have it on the feed. So you can, you know, keep writing down your questions below because we're going to read all of them and we're going to look and pick some of the best ones to ask him.
Ben Ferguson
That's exactly right. It's a great opportunity for the verdict community, everyone who is engaged, who wants to know what's going on, who wants to know the inside story for you to be an active participant in laying out the facts and getting the hard questions and important questions answered.
Ted Cruz
And it's going to be fun. So I hope all you guys will get involved that way. Senator, I know it's abbreviated pod, but I have to ask you about, obviously, the breaking news and this coming from this. I'm not shocked by it, but many, I think, would say they're pretty angry by it. And that is the fact that we now understand that the President, United States of America, has received yet another target target letter, this time in connection with January 6th probe. Another indictment looming, they're saying, for election interference. There have been some that have been pretty blunt about this, calling this total bs. Is this at a point now where it's just straight up election interference?
Ben Ferguson
Well, we have breaking news tonight. Water is wet, the sky is blue, grass is green. There's cocaine in the Biden White House. And Jack Smith and Merrick Garland are engaged in a political vendetta. Yes, yes. Yes. Hell, yes. This is election interference. Anyone who's surprised, it was obvious that Smith was going to go after Donald Trump. It was obvious that he's going to try to indict Donald Trump. It is obvious because that is his mission. Remember, we did a podcast early on November 2022, right when Jack Smith was appointed. And we laid out five troubling facts about Jack Smith then. Number one, handpicked by Merrick Garland, and Merrick Garland is the most political and partisan attorney general in our Nation's history. Number two, Jack Smith led the disgraceful prosecution of Bob McDonald, then the Republican governor of Virginia, then a credible and, and, and, and plausible candidate for president. And yet Jack Smith went after him, prosecuted him, and the prosecution was on such flimsy ground that when it was challenged and went to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court reversed it nine to nothing. Every single justice, including the left wing justices, reversed it. But you know what? Smith had done his political job. He'd taken out Bob McDonald politically, which was the objective, even though legally it was frivolous, and thrown out unanimously by the Supreme Court. Number three, Jack Smith was himself involved in the IRS targeting of conservatives under Barack Obama. So he has a long history of being directly involved in the weaponization of government. Number four, his wife is a donor to guess who Joe Biden is. A Democrat donor. And number five, his wife also produced a documentary about Michelle Obama that is a hagiography that is praising her, that practically beatifies her, turns her into a saint. If the left believed in saints, Michelle Obama would qualify based on this movie. She also produced another movie attacking the Citizens United decision from the Supreme Court, which protected free speech rights, the rights of groups like the NRA and the Sierra Club and, and, and, and nonprofits to engage in political speech. Well, his wife hates your free speech rights so much, she made a movie attacking it. That's who Jack Smith is. And so it should surprise nobody that of course he's going to indict President Trump. Why? Because he is engaged in election interference. Because his objective is, is to try to defeat Donald Trump in November of next year, and he's going to use every machinery of the Department of Justice to try to do so. With Merrick Garland's enthusiastic cheerleading alongside talk.
Ted Cruz
About the timing of this letter. You know, the President's former President Trump said, wow, on Sunday night, while I was with my family, having just arrived from Turning Point, the same event that you and I were at in Florida, where I won the straw poll against all other Republican candidates with 85.7%. With all polls showing me leading in the Republican primary by very substantial numbers, almost everyone predicting that I will be the Republican nominee for president. And as I am leading Democrat Joe Biden in the polls by a lot, horrifying news for our country was given to me by my attorneys. You look at the timing of this. Is it quite possible that they wanted to do this on a Sunday during a massive week when these whistleblowers are going to be testifying before Congress to give cover to the media, to not have to cover what these whistleblowers are going to say on Wednesday Well, I.
Ben Ferguson
Don'T know that the corporate media needs cover because they don't cover what the whistleblowers say. Anyway.
Ted Cruz
Valid point.
Ben Ferguson
Want to cover it. I mean, you could literally have a day where, where, where there are dandelions blooming in a field and that would be sufficient for the media. Cover that instead of actual the credible and serious evidence from multiple whistleblowers about multiple felonies committed by the Attorney General of the United States and the President of the United States. That's not news to abc, that's not news to cnn. That's not news to the corporate media. Look, you asked, and I answered a minute ago, is this election interference? And the answer is of course it is, and it's election interference. Doubly, here's what the Democrats are thinking. Merrick Garland and Joe Biden in the White House, they, number one, they want Donald Trump to be the nominee. They desperately want Trump to be the Republican nominee. And they know that every time they bring some bogus indictment that Trump's numbers in the primary go up. They're fully aware of that and they view that as a feature, not a bug. They want Trump's numbers in the primary to go up because they believe Trump is the easiest to beat in the general. So they're engaged in election interference in the primary and they're doing it with full open eyes about what their objective is. But secondly, they believe that these multiple indictments, one after the other, hurt Trump and potentially hurt Trump fatally in the general election in November. Joe Biden, Merrick Garland and the partisan Democrats, they want to push Trump to be the nominee and then they want to wound him so badly that they believe he can't win the general election. And it is, I don't know if that political prediction is right or not. I think the Democrats believe it. What I do know is it is an absolute abuse of the Department of Justice, of the prosecutor, prosecutorial authority, of DOJ to play politics. And that's sadly what they're doing.
Ted Cruz
Lastly, for everyone listening, we are going to be covering, as we said, the James Comer interview, a two part series that will come out on Thursday and Friday. So make sure you help everyone see it. We're going to need your help by sharing these podcasts when we put them out on all your social media. Tell your family and friends about this on Thursday and Friday. Post it on Facebook, on Twitter, wherever you are on social media and send in your questions. Send a tweet at Ted Cruz Benferguson Show. We're going to be taking some of those questions and asking James Comer. So don't miss a special week this week, Thursday and Friday, these shows we're going to be doing the first, the show, literally 11 o'clock Wednesday night after, right after they are done with the votes, is when we're going to start. So you're going to get this before it said anywhere else. So make sure you do that. Write us five star review and we'll see you back here tomorrow and Friday for that big sit down with Congressman James Comer.
Podcast Summary: "Election Interference by Biden DOJ, plus ANOTHER Incriminating FBI Whistleblower"
Podcast Details:
In this significant episode of The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson, hosts Ben Ferguson and Senator Ted Cruz delve deep into allegations surrounding election interference by the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) and the revelations from multiple whistleblowers within the IRS and FBI. The discussion is set against the backdrop of upcoming podcasts featuring James Comer, focusing on the so-called "Biden crime family."
Ted Cruz opens the conversation by highlighting the abnormality of the current podcast due to the two forthcoming episodes scheduled for Thursday and Friday. These episodes will feature a two-part interview with James Comer, the House Oversight Committee chairman, addressing the testimony from IRS and FBI whistleblowers.
“This is going to be a Cliff Note show... evergreen. It's going to be something that you can go back and reference...” (Ted Cruz, 00:37)
Ben Ferguson elaborates that today's episode serves as a bonus, setting the stage for the more in-depth discussions to follow. He emphasizes the importance of bypassing mainstream media limitations by providing comprehensive coverage and analysis.
“The mainstream media, the corporate media, is not gonna cover much of what's said in the testimony...” (Ben Ferguson, 01:39)
The core of the episode revolves around the testimony from three senior career whistleblowers: two from the IRS and one from the FBI. These whistleblowers allege significant political cover-ups orchestrated by political appointees at the DOJ to protect Hunter Biden and President Joe Biden from investigations into corruption and potential bribery from foreign nationals.
“So you've got three senior career whistleblowers...testifying as to the political cover up and the efforts by political appointees at DOJ to protect Hunter Biden and most critically, to protect the big guy, Joe Biden...” (Ben Ferguson, 02:52)
Both hosts stress the importance of audience participation. They encourage listeners to submit questions via Twitter to be posed to James Comer in the upcoming interviews. This interactive approach aims to ensure that the most pertinent and pressing questions are addressed.
“Send us your questions that you want to ask Congressman Comer... keep writing down your questions below because we're going to read all of them and we're going to look and pick some of the best ones to ask him.” (Ted Cruz, 04:39)
Ben Ferguson shares enthusiasm about previous live sessions, highlighting the engagement and energy from the audience, and urges listeners to revisit past episodes for context.
“If you didn't listen to Monday's pod, which is live in front of Turning Point usa, you ought to go back and listen to it because it was a hot pod...” (Ben Ferguson, 04:57)
A significant portion of the discussion centers on accusations that the DOJ, under Attorney General Merrick Garland and his appointee Jack Smith, is engaged in deliberate election interference targeting former President Donald Trump. The hosts argue that the DOJ is utilizing its prosecutorial power to undermine Trump's candidacy, thereby influencing the upcoming election.
Ben Ferguson vehemently asserts that the actions of Jack Smith and Merrick Garland constitute clear election interference.
“This is election interference. Anyone who's surprised, it was obvious that Smith was going to go after Donald Trump...” (Ben Ferguson, 06:35)
He outlines five troubling facts about Jack Smith, asserting that Smith's actions and affiliations indicate a pattern of political partisanship:
“If the left believed in saints, Michelle Obama would qualify based on this movie...” (Ben Ferguson, 09:38)
Ted Cruz echoes these sentiments, questioning the timing of recent DOJ actions coinciding with significant political events, suggesting orchestrated efforts to distract or overshadow whistleblower testimonies.
“Is it quite possible that they wanted to do this on a Sunday during a massive week when these whistleblowers are going to be testifying before Congress...” (Ted Cruz, 06:35)
Ben Ferguson responds by criticizing the media's lack of coverage on whistleblower testimonies, reinforcing the narrative that the DOJ's actions are politically motivated interference.
“...is election interference. Doubly, here's what the Democrats are thinking... They view that as a feature, not a bug.” (Ben Ferguson, 10:33)
As the podcast nears its end, Ted Cruz emphasizes the upcoming interviews with James Comer, urging listeners to share and promote the upcoming episodes across social media platforms to maximize reach and impact.
“We're going to need your help by sharing these podcasts when we put them out on all your social media... Write us five star review and we'll see you back here tomorrow and Friday for that big sit down with Congressman James Comer.” (Ted Cruz, 12:29)
Ben Ferguson concurs, highlighting the opportunity for the engaged community to actively participate in uncovering and disseminating critical information about political corruption.
“It's a great opportunity for the verdict community... to be an active participant in laying out the facts and getting the hard questions and important questions answered.” (Ben Ferguson, 05:54)
