In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson examine newly released economic data showing record median household income, historically low poverty rates, and continued low uninsured rates. They compare recent economic trends across different administrations, debate the role of media coverage in shaping public perception of the economy, and discuss the impact of data center construction on jobs, investment, and market growth.The conversation then turns to two high-profile Senate races. Cruz and Ferguson discuss undercover footage involving Texas Senate candidate James Talarico’s pastor, who comments on his campaign messaging and positions on transgender issues. They also examine reports surrounding Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, including controversy involving sermons by his imam, allegations concerning views on Hamas, and El-Sayed’s association with political commentator Hasan Piker. Throughout the episode, the hosts argue that voters should focus on candidates’ stated beliefs, past statements, and political records when evaluating campaigns. New Census Bureau data shows median household income reaching a record high while poverty and child poverty rates fall to historic lows. Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson argue that these economic indicators deserve far more attention and discuss why they believe the story has received limited media coverage. Topics Covered: Record-high median household income and historic poverty-rate data from the Census Bureau Child poverty reaching a reported all-time low Media coverage of economic news and competing national headlines Data center construction, job creation, and stock market growth James Talarico controversy involving comments from his pastor and campaign positioning Abdul El-Sayed, imam-related allegations, and debate over political associations Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
