Blue City Crime Chaos, it's a Schumer Shutdown & Leftist Judicial Bias at its Best Week In Review

Story 1 – “FBI Abuse and Cover-Up”
 
 • 

FBI Director Kash Patel has fired agents involved in tracking phone calls of eight Republican senators and one congressman during a supposed investigation led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
 • 
 • 

It describes a hidden vault of subpoenaed communication records, suggesting a deliberate cover-up under the previous administration’s Department of Justice.
 • 
 • 

The text portrays Patel as a whistleblower uncovering “deep state” corruption and restoring transparency.
 • 
 • 

Senator Josh Hawley is quoted condemning the investigation as an abuse of power “beyond Watergate”, calling for a special counsel.
 • 
 • 

The narrative concludes that the FBI and DOJ were weaponized against political opponents and that new leadership is “unsealing the vault” to expose them.
 • 
 
Story 2 – Letitia James Indicted
 
 • 

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on federal bank fraud charges in Virginia.
 • 
 • 

It asserts that she falsified mortgage documents and lied about property records.
 • 
 • 

The narrative contrasts how mainstream media (CNN) allegedly downplays her wrongdoing while emphasizing Trump’s involvement.
 • 
 • 

Commentary from Adam Kinzinger is quoted, supposedly acknowledging both James’s mistakes and the political motives behind her indictment.
 • 
 • 

The story concludes by framing James’s case as part of a broader reckoning against the “deep state” and vindication for Donald Trump’s promises to hold his opponents accountable.

 • 
 • 

Hostage releases are a central part of the deal, including both living captives and the return of bodies of those killed since the October 7, 2023 attacks.
 • 
 • 

Trump is quoted extensively, describing this as a “historic” moment and promising a new era of peace in Gaza.
 • 
 • 

The document includes reactions from families of hostages, marked by emotional gratitude toward Trump.
 • 
 • 

Trump’s remarks on rebuilding Gaza and establishing a “Council of Peace” suggest a broader reconstruction initiative funded by wealthy Middle Eastern nations.
 • 
 • 

The final section shifts into Trump’s domestic commentary, highlighting supposed successes in reducing crime in Washington, D.C., and comparing local peace and safety efforts to the broader Middle East peace vision.

BONUS POD: Day 7 Government Down-Hakeem Jeffries Jumps in w Schumer to Continue this Disaster

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.
 
 
 
Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
 
 
 
Deep State Weaponization
 
 
 
Broadcasting live from Washington, D.C., Buck Sexton covers the latest developments in the Trump administration’s showdown with Democrat-run cities, focusing on Chicago and Portland. 
 
 
 
The discussion kicks off with explosive revelations about FBI surveillance of Republican Senators, including Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, and Ron Johnson, as part of the controversial “Arctic Frost” operation. Buck highlights Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, exposing the weaponization of the FBI and DOJ and the urgent need for reform under Director Patel.
 
 
 
Who is Leading the Democrats?
 
 
 
Buck recaps President Trump’s Oval Office remarks, where Trump blasts Democrats for having “no leadership and no policy,” calling out figures like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Buck underscores Trump’s point, arguing that Democrats lack a clear leader for the first time in decades, with contenders like Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker jockeying for influence while the party drifts toward radicalism.
 
 
 
Remembering Israel's 9/11
 
 
 
Karol Markowitz, host of The Karol Markowicz Show, reflecting on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. 
 
 
 
Karol shares her perspective on the enduring trauma for Jews worldwide, the resilience of Israelis, and the disturbing rise of antisemitism in Western societies. The discussion dismantles false narratives of “genocide” against Palestinians, highlighting how media outlets like The New York Times manipulate imagery to push propaganda. Buck and Karol underscore President Trump’s unwavering support for Israel, his clarity on Middle East policy, and the broader civilizational stakes tied to unchecked immigration and radical ideology.
 
 
 
The conversation shifts to emerging hostility toward Israel from some voices on the right, with Karol warning against conspiracy theories and emphasizing that polls still show overwhelming conservative support for Israel. She frames antisemitism as a “mind virus” that can consume individuals and societies, urging vigilance against its spread. Buck reinforces the historical context of violent indoctrination in Gaza and calls for moral clarity in U.S. foreign policy.
 
 
 
Living with Autism
 
 
 
In a compelling second half, Buck welcomes Leland Vittert, NewsNation host and author of Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, a Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism. Leland shares his deeply personal story of overcoming severe autism through his father’s relentless commitment to adaptation and resilience. 
 
 
 
The discussion explores the flaws in expert-driven approaches that encourage meeting children “where they are” instead of pushing them to thrive. Leland details practical strategies his father used—like instilling discipline, teaching social skills, and building character—that transformed his life. Buck relates with his own childhood struggle with a speech impediment, reinforcing the theme that parental involvement and perseverance can change destinies.
 
 
 
The segment also tackles the surge in autism diagnoses, with Leland calling it “the scientific question of our time” and criticizing partisan attacks on efforts to find answers. His book offers hope and actionable guidance for parents navigating challenges from autism to ADHD and beyond.

BONUS POD: Biden FBI Spied on Eight Republican Senators as Part of Arctic Frost Investigation

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.”
