Release Date: July 12, 2024
Host: Ben Ferguson
Guest: Senator Ted Cruz

1. Introduction and Breaking News from Capitol Hill

Ben Ferguson opens the episode by introducing Senator Ted Cruz, highlighting the significant news unfolding on Capitol Hill. The primary focus is on the Biden administration's struggles and a notable judicial victory that has not garnered mainstream media attention.

2. Major Victory Over Radical Biden Judge Sarah Netburn

a. Background of the Nomination

Senator Ted Cruz discusses the controversial nomination of Judge Sarah Netburn, a radical left-wing magistrate judge in New York, appointed by President Joe Biden and endorsed by Chuck Schumer. Judge Netburn gained notoriety for her decision to transfer William McLean, a 6'2" male serial rapist, to a women's prison based on his self-identification as a woman.

b. Cruz’s Cross-Examination and Key Arguments

At the Senate Judiciary Committee markup, Senator Cruz vehemently opposed Netburn's nomination. He recounted his cross-examination of the judge, emphasizing her disregard for the safety and rights of female inmates. Cruz stated:

"This judge sent that man to Fort Worth, Texas. Is it on the front page of the New York Times today? No, the media doesn't want you to know about it." ([19:40])

c. Senate Judiciary Committee Vote Outcome

Cruz detailed the unexpected outcome of the Judiciary Committee vote, where the nomination was defeated 11-10. He highlighted that all Democrats, except Senator Jon Ossoff from Georgia, voted in favor of Netburn. Cruz attributed Ossoff's dissent to his upcoming reelection campaign in Georgia, stating:

"I think Ossoff thought about it and said, okay, I got to run for reelection in the state of Georgia, and if I vote for a judge that sends a 6 foot 2 serial rapist to a woman, to a woman's prison, I ain't get reelected." ([16:48])

This marked the first time Democrats broke party lines on a Judiciary Committee vote, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

3. Internal Struggles Within the Biden Administration

a. Cabinet Leaks and Lack of Meetings

Cruz revealed unsettling information about the Biden administration's internal dynamics. He mentioned that the Cabinet hasn't held a meeting in eight months, citing pre-scripted discussions that resemble a "Kabuki theater." According to Cruz:

"The cabinet doesn't meet. And in the last full cabinet meeting took place on October 2, 2023." ([28:19])

b. Campaign Leaks and Polling Issues

Further complicating the administration's stance, Cruz pointed out leaks from Biden's own campaign team, indicating that they are conducting polls to assess Kamala Harris's viability against Donald Trump. He interpreted this as a sign of the campaign's waning confidence in Biden's candidacy:

"The Biden campaign has started to quietly assess the viability of Harris's candidacy against Trump in a new head to head poll." ([24:48])

4. Media Ignoring Significant Judicial Victory

Cruz criticized the mainstream media for its silence on the defeat of Judge Netburn's nomination. He emphasized that such a pivotal victory was absent from major news outlets, including the New York Times:

"It's not going to be on the front page of the New York Times. The media doesn't want you to know about it." ([19:40])

This lack of coverage, according to Cruz, indicates a deliberate omission to downplay conservative victories within the administration.

5. Biden Campaign in Free-Fall

a. Democrats Turning on Biden

Senator Cruz elaborated on the increasing dissent within the Democratic Party towards President Biden. He noted that multiple Democrats, including Senator Peter Welch and Senator Mark Warner, have publicly expressed that Biden shouldn't run for reelection. Cruz stated:

"We're seeing Democrats turn on him every day. We're seeing additional Democrat House members turn on him." ([24:48])

b. Possibility of Invoking the 25th Amendment

Drawing parallels to past discussions about the 25th Amendment with Donald Trump, Cruz warned that similar sentiments are now emerging regarding Biden. He highlighted a CNN report where Democratic sources question Biden's mental capacity:

"If you and I had said that a month ago, they would go crazy. They would mock us. Now, every one of them is saying this is Barack Obama pulling the strings." ([29:38])

Cruz suggested that the prospect of invoking the 25th Amendment is increasing, given the administration's apparent disarray and internal conflicts.

6. Conclusions and Calls to Action

Ben Ferguson and Senator Cruz concluded the episode by urging listeners to stay informed and share the story of Judge Netburn's defeat, emphasizing its significance and the media's failure to cover it. Cruz reiterated the administration's missteps and the need for accountability within the Democratic Party.
