Bonus: Schumer Shutdown Continues...How it will end, plus Biden Judge Gives Light Sentence to Justice Kavanaugh's attempted Murder-because the Killer is Transgender

In this bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, hosts Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss:

  1.  The “Schumer Shutdown”
  • We begin with the ongoing government shutdown as the fault of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party.

  • They claim Democrats are panicking and have no political “off-ramp,” predicting that the standoff will end with “complete capitulation” from Democrats.

  • The conversation includes discussion of polling data (allegedly showing poor favorability ratings for Democrats), arguments that Democrats are “weak” and “extreme,” and mockery of Democratic leaders through AI-generated memes that portray them wearing sombreros and mustaches.

  • Cruz and Ferguson frame the situation as a political win for Republicans, portraying Democrats as incoherent and divided, and suggesting that the shutdown reveals the public’s indifference to big government.


2. The Brett Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt and Sentencing

  • The second segment focuses on a federal judge’s sentencing of Nicholas Roske, who had plotted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

  • Cruz and Ferguson express outrage over what they claim was an unjustly lenient eight-year sentence, arguing that it reflects “left-wing bias” and preferential treatment because the assailant was transgender.

  • They sharply criticize Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, for what they call “ideological” leniency, with Cruz suggesting she should be impeached.

  • The hosts expand the issue into a broader critique of Democratic “soft-on-crime” policies and claim a cultural double standard favoring certain identities (e.g., transgender individuals).

  • The conversation also ties the Kavanaugh incident to Democratic rhetoric, suggesting it encourages “left-wing violence.”
