    Verdict with Ted Cruz: Trey's Law — Protecting the Victims of Child Sex Abuse
    Mar 25 2026
    Trey’s Law: Ending the Silence Around Child Sexual Abuse A Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Podcast Special In one of the most important and emotionally powerful episodes of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson dedicate the program to confronting what they describe as a national epidemic: child sexual abuse and the systemic silencing of its victims. The episode centers on newly introduced federal legislation—Trey’s Law—and features the courageous testimony of survivors and advocates who are fighting to ensure that children are never again forced into silence through legally binding non‑disclosure agreements (NDAs). This is not a theoretical discussion. It is a deeply personal, urgent conversation about real lives, real trauma, and a legal system that, for too long, has allowed abusers and institutions to protect themselves at the expense of children. As Senator Cruz makes clear throughout the episode, Trey’s Law is about stopping the second victimization of children who have already endured the unimaginable. The Scope of the Crisis: Child Sexual Abuse in America Early in the episode, Senator Cruz lays out sobering statistics that frame the urgency of the legislation. A child in America is sexually abused every nine minutes. One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before the age of eighteen. These are not isolated incidents—they represent a widespread and deeply entrenched crisis. Yet despite the scale of the problem, many victims never come forward. The episode repeatedly highlights the phenomenon of delayed disclosure, explaining that children often do not report abuse for years—or even decades—because of fear, shame, and manipulation by their abusers. This silence is not accidental; it is frequently enforced through legal mechanisms that benefit perpetrators and the institutions that shield them. What Is Trey’s Law? Trey’s Law is a federal bill introduced by Senator Ted Cruz with broad bipartisan support. Its purpose is straightforward but powerful: to prohibit non‑disclosure agreements that bind victims of child sexual abuse and force them into silence. NDAs were originally designed to protect intellectual property—trade secrets like formulas or proprietary business information. Over time, however, they have been misused to silence victims of abuse, including children who cannot legally consent to such agreements. Trey’s Law establishes that this practice is unacceptable as a matter of public policy. Importantly, the bill is written to protect victims—not to compel them to speak. Survivors may still choose confidentiality if that is what they want. What Trey’s Law eliminates is the ability of abusers, institutions, or even legal representatives to force silence as a condition of settlement. Ownership of the story belongs to the survivor. The Story Behind the Law: Trey’s Tragic Legacy Trey’s Law is named after Trey Carlock, a Texan who was sexually abused as a child at a summer camp in Missouri. Trey’s abuser was ultimately convicted and sentenced to three consecutive life terms in prison. But the damage did not end there. During subsequent civil litigation, Trey was pressured into signing a non‑disclosure agreement that prevented him from speaking openly about what had happened to him. According to his family, that enforced silence haunted him for years. At the age of twenty‑eight, Trey died by suicide. Trey’s sister, Elizabeth Phillips, joins the podcast to share his story and explain how NDAs robbed her brother of the ability to heal. She describes how she learned more about Trey’s trauma after his death than she ever knew while he was alive—because the NDA prevented him from speaking, even in therapeutic settings. Her grief became purpose. Since Trey’s death, Elizabeth Phillips has devoted thousands of hours to advocating for Trey’s Law, helping it pass in multiple states, including Texas and Missouri, and now pushing for federal adoption. Institutional Abuse and the Role of NDAs A central theme of the episode is what Elizabeth Phillips describes as institutional abuse—the compounding harm that occurs when organizations prioritize reputation and revenue over accountability and child safety. NDAs have been used not only to silence individual victims but to enable long‑term cover‑ups that allow predators to continue abusing children. The discussion also exposes how civil settlements, particularly in personal injury law, create perverse incentives. Attorneys working on contingency fees may pressure victims to settle quickly and quietly, minimizing public exposure while maximizing financial resolution. Trey’s Law removes NDAs from the negotiating table entirely, eliminating those incentives. As Senator Cruz explains, settlements cannot require illegal conduct—and once NDAs in child sexual abuse cases are deemed unlawful, they can no longer be demanded as a condition of compensation.

  • The Karol Markowicz Show: The Information State: How AI, Disinformation & Algorithms Are Reshaping Power

    The Karol Markowicz Show: The Information State: How AI, Disinformation & Algorithms Are Reshaping Power
    Mar 25 2026

    What if the biggest threat to democracy isn’t politics—but information itself?

    On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with journalist and author Jacob Siegel to unpack his new book The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control. Together, they explore how “disinformation” evolved from a Cold War concept into a dominant force in modern politics—and how it’s being used to shape public opinion at scale.

    Siegel breaks down the rise of algorithmic power, the role of media narratives in shaping reality, and why AI could accelerate the shift away from individual sovereignty toward centralized information control. Drawing on his experience as a U.S. Army intelligence officer, he connects modern information warfare tactics to what we’re seeing today in America’s political and digital landscape.

    They also discuss:

    • The origins and evolution of the “disinformation” narrative
    • How media, tech platforms, and algorithms influence what we believe
    • Why AI may make truth harder—not easier—to find
    • The long-term risks to democratic systems and individual freedom
    • A surprising prediction about how culture and technology may become more “medieval” in the coming years

    Plus, Siegel shares personal insights on resilience, fatherhood, and how to stay grounded in an age of constant information overload.

    Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Mar 25 2026
    Mar 25 2026
    Thank You, Linda Clay Travis and Buck Sexton ask: Has President Trump already effectively won the Iran war? The program details how negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran’s weakened leadership are accelerating, even as Iran publicly rejects U.S. proposals. Clay and Buck highlight reporting that Iran received a 15‑point peace framework and is now operating from a position of severe military disadvantage. Trump has openly stated that Iran’s Air Force, Navy, missile sites, and drone capabilities have been decimated, and he claims American aircraft are flying over Tehran uncontested.The hosts analyze global reaction from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other regional players who—according to multiple reports—are urging Trump to keep pressure on Iran until the regime is thoroughly weakened. Clay even cites a surprising New York Times editorial conceding that the military campaign is going far better than critics admit and noting that the price of oil remains far lower than past wartime spikes, undermining Democratic talking points. The hosts then pivot to the national airport crisis, where TSA shortages—caused by a Democratic refusal to fund Homeland Security—continue to snarl travel in major hubs like Houston, Atlanta, JFK, and New Orleans. Clay recounts viral footage of passengers suffering three‑hour lines, including former Attorney General Bill Barr stuck waiting with everyone else. Yet there is one bright spot: the now‑famous deployment of ICE agents into airports, a strategy first introduced by listener Linda from Arizona. Her idea has become one of the biggest political stories of the week, earning national media coverage and even a comedic mention on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Chuckie Pleeeease Clay and Buck highlight a clip from Senator Chuck Schumer in June 2025 mocking President Trump for allegedly being weak and “folding” on Iran—contrasting sharply with Schumer’s present refusal to acknowledge Trump’s decisive military success against the Iranian regime. The hosts argue this flip‑flop underscores what they see as incoherent and politically driven Democratic opposition, even as Iran’s military infrastructure, leadership, navy, and air force have been effectively dismantled. The core of Hour 2 centers on the murder of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman in Chicago, allegedly committed by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who had already been arrested multiple times and should not have been in the United States. Clay and Buck examine what they describe as deeply disturbing responses from Chicago and Illinois Democratic leaders, including an alderwoman suggesting the victim may have “startled” her attacker, Governor JB Pritzker blaming Donald Trump, and Mayor Brandon Johnson refusing to apologize to the victim’s family while deflecting responsibility to decades‑old policies. The hosts frame the killing as another “Lake Riley‑type tragedy,” arguing it was entirely preventable and emblematic of the dangers created by sanctuary policies and a previously open southern border. Border Czar, Tom Homan Border Czar, Tom Homan, explains the expanded ICE presence at airports. Homan says ICE agents were deployed at President Trump’s direction to support TSA during staffing shortages, enhance airport security, and assist with crowd flow—but he is explicit that ICE will also enforce immigration law if agents encounter criminal or illegal activity. He confirms agents can access DHS databases on the spot and will make arrests where probable cause exists. Homan forcefully responds to Democratic district attorneys who have threatened ICE agents with arrest, stating that federal law supersedes local policies and that ICE agents are operating under long‑standing authorities passed by Congress. He criticizes sanctuary jurisdictions for making arrests more dangerous and resource‑intensive by denying ICE access to jails, forcing officers to conduct street arrests instead. Addressing deportations, Homan reports that the administration surpassed 700,000 removals last year, exceeding numbers from any previous modern administration, and says the hiring of 10,000 additional ICE officers will further expand enforcement capacity. He also reveals that more than two million illegal immigrants have voluntarily left the country, attributing the trend to visible nationwide enforcement and the end of the Biden‑era “release and disappear” policy. Homan says ICE plans to maintain a larger permanent airport presence due to documented cases of human trafficking, currency smuggling, and illegal transit through aviation hubs. Sen. Bill Cassidy Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy addresses the TSA and DHS funding crisis, which continues to cause massive airport delays nationwide—especially at New Orleans’ Louis Armstrong Airport, where travelers have faced lines stretching into parking garages and missed flights. Cassidy argues Democrats are intentionally prolonging the ...
