Release Date: January 6, 2025
In the second part of "Ten Verdict Predictions that ALL Came TRUE," host Ben Ferguson teams up with Senator Ted Cruz to delve into predictions made throughout 2024 that have remarkably materialized by early 2025. This episode meticulously examines predictions numbered 6 through 10, providing insightful discussions, corroborative evidence, and notable declarations that underscore the accuracy of their forecasts.
Prediction 6: Joe Biden Pardons Hunter Biden
Timestamp: 00:01 – 06:46
Prediction Overview:
Ben Ferguson predicted with 100% certainty that President Joe Biden would pardon his son, Hunter Biden, by December 2024. This pardon was expected to occur post-election, irrespective of election outcomes.
Discussion & Outcome:
Senator Cruz affirms the prediction, highlighting the media's initial skepticism and ridicule. He emphasizes the media's consistent attempts to deceive the public about the pardon, with officials like Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre publicly denying any intentions to pardon Hunter Biden. However, on December 1, 2024, President Biden fulfilled this prediction by issuing the pardon, despite prior denials. Cruz lauds Ferguson's unwavering confidence, noting how the odds were adjusted from 95% to 100% over six months, ultimately proving accurate.
Notable Quotes:
- Ben Ferguson [02:35]: "He's not going to do it before election day but he's going to stick around. And after election day I believe it is now 100% that Joe Biden will pardon Hudder."
- Senator Ted Cruz [05:12]: "On December 1st, Joe Biden did exactly what we told you he was going to do."
Prediction 7: Supreme Court Reverses Colorado's Decision on Trump’s Ballot Removal
Timestamp: 08:27 – 13:28
Prediction Overview:
Ferguson predicted that the U.S. Supreme Court would unanimously overturn the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove Donald J. Trump from the ballot, ensuring Trump's reinstatement.
Discussion & Outcome:
Cruz elaborates on the prediction, criticizing the Colorado Supreme Court's decision as a "constitutional abomination" aimed at suppressing voter choice. He reiterates the 100% certainty placed on the Supreme Court not only reversing the decision but doing so unanimously. On March 4, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court indeed unanimously reversed Colorado's ruling, reinstating Trump on the ballot, validating Ferguson's foresight.
Notable Quotes:
- Ben Ferguson [09:38]: "I put the odds at these decisions being reversed at 100%."
- Senator Ted Cruz [11:25]: "On March 4, 2024, the United States Supreme Court unanimously reversed the Colorado Supreme Court and reinstated Donald Trump on the ballot."
Prediction 8: Biden DOJ Indicts Hunter Biden on Gun Charges to Protect Joe Biden
Timestamp: 13:28 – 19:23
Prediction Overview:
The prediction foresaw the Department of Justice under Biden targeting Hunter Biden with indictments on personal charges, specifically gun-related offenses, to shield President Biden from any direct implications of corruption.
Discussion & Outcome:
Cruz and Ferguson discuss the politicization of the DOJ, emphasizing that indicting Hunter on personal rather than corruption-related charges was a strategic move to protect Joe Biden. This tactic was evident when Hunter Biden was indicted in September 2023 for felonies related to firearm purchases, aligning perfectly with the prediction. They highlight the broader implications of such actions on public trust and legal integrity.
Notable Quotes:
- Senator Ted Cruz [14:35]: "The prediction that you just played, I made in May of 23. And the prediction was, number one, DOJ would indict Hunter Biden."
- Ben Ferguson [16:13]: "I think the Biden DOJ will indict Hunter Biden. But if they indict him for personal tax issues or for lying on his gun permit application, that will be the tell."
Prediction 9: Texas Race Called on Election Night
Timestamp: 19:23 – 24:06
Prediction Overview:
Ferguson forecasted that Texas, being a large and efficiently managed state, would finalize and announce election results on the same night, contrasting with typically prolonged vote counts in blue states.
Discussion & Outcome:
Cruz reinforces the prediction by criticizing blue states for prolonged vote counting, which he attributes to deliberate efforts to alter election outcomes. He confidently predicted that Texas would conclude its vote counting by midnight on election night. On November 5, 2024, this came to fruition as the U.S. Senate race in Texas was called at 10:41 PM Texas time, and Donald Trump's national victory was declared shortly thereafter. This swift resolution starkly contrasted with the delayed counts in traditionally blue states, underscoring the accuracy of the prediction.
Notable Quotes:
- Senator Ted Cruz [21:00]: "We will know the results... by the end of election night in Texas."
- Ben Ferguson [19:44]: "We will know the results in the Senate race in Texas at 10:41pm."
Prediction 10: Demise of Corporate Media and Rise of Podcasts
Timestamp: 24:06 – 34:31
Prediction Overview:
Ferguson predicted the decline of traditional corporate media outlets and the ascendancy of podcasts and democratized media platforms as primary sources of information, leading to increased public distrust in established media houses.
Discussion & Outcome:
Cruz and Ferguson discuss the erosion of trust in traditional media, attributing it to perceived bias and dishonesty. They observe a significant shift toward podcasts like "Verdict," which offer unfiltered and direct communication with the audience. The episode highlights how influential figures, including Donald Trump, have leveraged podcasts to bypass traditional media gatekeepers. The discussion underscores the successful realization of this prediction, evidenced by the growing listener base of "Verdict" compared to traditional shows like "Morning Joe."
Notable Quotes:
- Ben Ferguson [27:00]: "They are lying to you. And the reason this podcast, we've got roughly a million unique listeners is because people find it valuable."
- Senator Ted Cruz [32:40]: "They are so partisan, they are so brazen. They are willing to lie... their ability to lie is checked by the ability of you and me and others to speak the truth."
