Shutdown Finally Over, Protecting Nigerian Christians & ANTIFA Violence Targets Turning Point

Sen. Ted Cruz explains the REAL cost of the 43-day government shutdown — from delayed flights to unpaid federal workers and frozen food stamp benefits. He calls out Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi for putting politics above Americans and warns another shutdown could be coming in January 2026. Sen. Cruz dives into the exploding costs of Obamacare, why it’s financially unsustainable, and how health savings accounts could fix the system. Then, he exposes the brutal persecution of Christians in Nigeria — over 50,000 killed. Later, Sen. Cruz and Ben Ferguson break down the violent Antifa protests at UC Berkeley, threats against conservative speakers at Turning Point USA events, and how the DOJ moves to investigate funding behind extremist groups.
