Trump Takes Out Venezuelan Narcoterrorists in Decisive Military Attack plus Stopping DC Crime & Trump is ALIVE!
Verdict with Ted CruzAbout this episode
1. Venezuelan Narco-Terrorist Strike The hosts discuss a U.S. military strike ordered by former President Trump against a Venezuelan drug-smuggling boat. They describe it as decisive action against narcoterrorists, with 11 alleged gang members killed. The narrative frames Trump as strong and proactive compared to Biden, who they accuse of weakness on border security and cartels. 2. U.S.–Mexico Relations & Cartels Cruz recounts recent meetings with Mexican officials, pressing them to cooperate with the U.S. against cartels. He argues Mexican cartels should be designated as terrorist organizations, drawing comparisons to Middle Eastern terror groups. The conversation emphasizes deterrence through unpredictable and overwhelming force. 3. Domestic Crime in Washington, D.C. Cruz introduces the Clean DC Act , aiming to repeal a 2022 D.C. law that reduced penalties for violent crimes. The podcast presents crime statistics in D.C. (murder rates, carjackings, assaults) and blames Democratic leadership for rising violence. It positions Trump’s stance on law and order as both domestic and international. 4. “Trump Is Alive” Segment Responds to a viral social media rumor that Trump had died after a couple of days out of the public eye. Hosts ridicule Democrats and media figures who speculated about or even welcomed the rumor. Trump himself dismisses it in an interview, calling it fake news.
