Verdict with Ted Cruz

When the Shutdown Ends, Why the FAA is Cancelling 5000 Flights per Day & Inside the Numbers behind Mamdani's Election


Listen Later

1. Government Shutdown and FAA Flight Cancellations

  • Cruz and Ferguson argue that Democrats are intentionally prolonging the shutdown for political gain, particularly to hurt Donald Trump.
  • Essential federal workers like TSA agents and air traffic controllers are working without pay, leading to staffing shortages and safety concerns.
  • The FAA has announced a mandatory 10% reduction in air traffic at the 40 largest U.S. airports due to understaffing.
  • This could result in up to 5,000 flight cancellations per day, affecting potentially 500,000 passengers daily.
  • Cruz says Democrats blocked a bill to pay essential workers during the shutdown, including air traffic controllers.

2. Analysis of Election Results

  • The podcast dives into the election of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described socialist/communist, in New York City.
  • Cruz and Ferguson portray Mamdani as emblematic of the radical left’s growing influence in the Democratic Party.
  • They analyze exit poll data and voter demographics, highlighting:
    • Young women (18–29) were the most supportive group, with 81% voting for Mamdani.
    • Educational attainment correlated with support: those with bachelor’s or advanced degrees leaned heavily toward Mamdani.
    • Income brackets between $30,000 and $300,000 favored Mamdani, while the very poor (<$30k) and very rich (>$300k) leaned toward Cuomo.
    • Religious affiliation showed that Protestants, Catholics, and Jews leaned toward Cuomo, while Muslims and non-religious voters favored Mamdani.
    • LGBTQ+ voters supported Mamdani by 81%, despite the podcast hosts expressing disbelief due to Mamdani’s alleged Islamist sympathies.
