Schumer Shutdown Continues plus a Beautiful Tribute to Charlie Kirk as he receives the Presidential Medal of Freedom

In this hard-hitting episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson pull back the curtain on the real reason behind the government shutdown: Democrat obstruction. Led by Senator Chuck Schumer, the Left is accused of deliberately keeping the government closed to push a radical agenda — including taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants.

Cruz and Ferguson highlight how Republicans are fighting to reopen the government and protect American workers, while Democrats play politics at the expense of federal employees and national security. President Trump is commended for his decisive leadership, using Defense Department funds to ensure our service members are paid — a move that exposes the Left’s failed strategy.

The episode also covers the upcoming “No Kings Rally,” a far-left protest in D.C., which Cruz suggests is part of the Democrats’ broader anti-Trump narrative. He predicts the shutdown will only end when moderate Democrats stand up to their party’s extreme wing.

In a moving second half, Cruz honors Charlie Kirk during his posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony. With heartfelt reflections on Kirk’s legacy, Cruz shares how Erica Kirk’s public forgiveness of her husband’s killer was a powerful act of Christian grace. Kirk is remembered as a bold voice for truth, freedom, and faith — a modern-day martyr compared to Lincoln and MLK.

Highlights Include:

  • Democrat-led shutdown and its impact on American families
  • Trump’s leadership and defense of military pay
  • Radical immigration policies exposed
  • Tribute to Charlie Kirk’s life, faith, and conservative influence
  • Christian forgiveness and moral courage in the face of tragedy

Tune in now for a passionate defense of conservative values and a tribute to one of the movement’s most inspiring voices.

The End of the Age of Terror and a New Dawn for the Middle East

1. Historic Peace Agreement

Israel and Hamas ending a war that began in October 2023. We celebrate Trump’s role in brokering the deal, presenting it as a moment of global significance—“the end of the age of terror and death” and “a new dawn for the Middle East.”


2. Key Events Described

  • Hostage exchange: Hamas releases the final 20 living Israeli hostages; Israel releases 1,900 Palestinian prisoners.

  • Return of remains: The bodies of several deceased hostages are repatriated.

  • Ceasefire and framework: The plan involves partial Israeli troop withdrawal, establishment of a technocratic Gaza administration (not Hamas-controlled), and disarmament conditions.

  • Humanitarian aid: Large-scale relief efforts in Gaza are emphasized.

  • International involvement: Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and others serve as guarantors; a reconstruction and aid summit is held in Egypt.


3. Trump’s Role and Statements

Trump was the chief architect and hero of the peace accord.

  • He calls it “the greatest assemblage of countries in terms of wealth and power.”

  • He refers to it as the “granddaddy of them all” among peace efforts.

  • The text includes his speech excerpts on Air Force One and before the Israeli parliament (Knesset).


4. Reactions and Praise

The piece highlights unusually bipartisan and international praise:

  • Hillary Clinton commends Trump’s efforts, calling the deal “a really significant first step.”

  • Major news outlets—CBS and NBC—report on it with positive framing, using phrases like “historic peace deal” and “landmark diplomatic success.”

  • Netanyahu is quoted calling Trump “the greatest friend the State of Israel has ever had.”
