BONUS: Verdict with Ted Cruz: Intelligence Manipulation, Big Tech Bias & Gavin Newsom’s Redistricting Hypocrisy

In this explosive episode, Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson dive into newly declassified revelations surrounding the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), alleging that top officials—James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey—politicized intelligence to undermine Donald Trump before his inauguration. Tulsi Gabbard’s disclosures and NSA Director Mike Rogers’ concerns add weight to claims of compromised intelligence integrity.

The conversation shifts to Big Tech bias, spotlighting Google’s alleged suppression of Republican fundraising emails and its influence on elections, backed by psychologist Robert Epstein’s research. Cruz also highlights Google’s significant financial support for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

Next, the episode critiques California Governor Gavin Newsom’s stance on Texas redistricting, exposing Democratic-led gerrymandering in states like California, New York, and Illinois. Cruz compares partisan representation across congressional delegations to underscore the hypocrisy.

Finally, the hosts recount the bizarre “Sandwich Gate” incident, where a DOJ employee allegedly assaulted a federal officer with a Subway sandwich—used to illustrate radical behavior within leftist circles.
