Bonus: Trump Takes Out Venezuelan Narcoterrorists in Decisive Military Att

Venezuelan Narco-Terrorist Strike, Cartel Terror Designation, and the “Trump Is Alive” Rumor

In this explosive episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson dive into four major topics shaping national security and political discourse:

1. Venezuelan Narco-Terrorist Strike

The hosts break down a bold U.S. military operation ordered by former President Donald Trump targeting a Venezuelan drug-smuggling vessel. With 11 alleged cartel members killed, Cruz and Ferguson frame the strike as a decisive blow against narcoterrorism—contrasting Trump’s aggressive stance with what they describe as President Biden’s weak border and cartel policies.

2. U.S.–Mexico Relations & Cartel Terror Designation

Cruz shares insights from recent meetings with Mexican officials, advocating for stronger bilateral cooperation against drug cartels. He calls for cartels to be officially designated as terrorist organizations, likening their brutality to Middle Eastern terror groups and emphasizing the need for overwhelming deterrence.

2. Crime Surge in Washington, D.C. & the Clean DC Act

The episode highlights rising violent crime in the nation’s capital, citing alarming statistics on murders, carjackings, and assaults. Cruz introduces the Clean DC Act, aimed at repealing a 2022 law that reduced penalties for violent offenses. The discussion ties domestic lawlessness to broader failures of Democratic leadership.

2. “Trump Is Alive” Viral Rumor

Responding to a viral social media hoax claiming Trump had died, the hosts mock media figures and political opponents who spread or celebrated the rumor. Trump himself debunks the claim in a recent interview, calling it “fake news.”
