What comes next in Venezuela? On Verdict, Sen. Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson continue their deep dive into Venezuela and why the arrest of Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores was fully constitutional—following the same precedent as Noriega in Panama. Sen. Cruz details Flores’ criminal role, Venezuela’s massive oil and gold reserves, and why pushing out Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and Hezbollah influence is critical to U.S. security. Sen. Cruz also explains how free and fair elections are essential to unlock Venezuela’s oil and gold wealth and restore prosperity. Cruz also shares behind-the-scenes conversations with President Donald Trump and why a pro-America, pro-capitalism Venezuela would be a win for both nations.
