A major Supreme Court battle over Big Tech censorship seems to be looming as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secures a major victory for free speech, preventing social media networks from censoring individuals based on viewpoints. Today on The Cloakroom, Senator Cruz joins Liz to examine this incredibly important decision, discuss who is behind this masterpiece, and look at what’s still to come for the battle against censorship. Plus, the Senator responds to Chrissy Teigen's claims that she had an abortion—not a miscarriage as originally stated.

Grandpa Joe’s “60 Minutes” interview is making waves in exactly the way you would expect. In this interview hot off the airwaves, Joe Biden not just once, but multiple times breaks with official U.S. policy (intentionally or unintentionally) and causes an uproar. Today, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to respond to the wildest—and we mean wildest—moments from this freewheeling sit down, an interview which begs the question: if this is what made it to air, what hit the cutting room floor? Plus, the president of Iran denies the Holocaust, an unprecedented number of Republican Latinas run for Congress, and the Left loses their mind over Martha’s Vineyard migrants.

Are pants on fire in the White House yet? Karine Jean-Pierre can’t stop talking about everyone’s favorite podcast from the podium as she shamelessly lies about illegal immigration and condemns Republicans for giving the liberal elites a taste of their own medicine. And that’s only the start of the madness from this week! Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to break it all down—from a mind-boggling objection to common-sense legislation to a (very controversial) upcoming vote and the telling details behind the end of a new journalism bill.

Republicans lost a seat in the House last week as Sarah Palin was defeated by a Democrat. But this wasn’t for a lack of voters choosing to elect Palin, rather it was a result of Alaska’s anti-democratic jungle primaries and ranked-choice voting. Senator Cruz joins Liz on The Cloakroom to share his top-down analysis of this election system and examine how it came to be in the first place. Plus, what are the chances the new assault rifle ban passes the Senate?

The Semi-Fascist Social Club convenes to break down Biden's new anti-MAGA strategy, unveiled this week. And what a week it has been. Karine Jean-Pierre calls Americans who don't agree with Biden's lawless power grabs and feckless leadership "threats to democracy." The White House outright lies about what is happening on our southern border. Radical "doctors" get caught admitting to performing graphic transgender mutilations on shockingly young children. Biden's woke Pentagon plants continue their bid to destroy America's fighting forces. All this, and Bernie Sanders now features our very show in his campaign videos. So how do we stop the destruction of our country, our freedom, and everything we hold dear?

The White House moves to rain cash down on slackers at the expense of hardworking Americans in what might be one of the largest transfers of wealth from the poor to the rich in American history. Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to discuss the scary reality of Biden's $300 billion plan to “cancel” student loan debt. And because we apparently give money anybody and everybody now, “I surrender” Joe is also on a mission to revive Obama’s plan to give nukes to Iran—talk about a disaster waiting to happen. Plus, does defeated Congresswoman Liz Cheney have a vendetta against our very own Senator?

And you thought it couldn’t get any worse. In a grim followup to last week’s exposé on the corruption at Biden’s DOJ that led to the FBI raid on President Trump’s home, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to share what we now know about the motives, facts, and lies that surround this unprecedented abuse of power by the Feds. And are we really surprised? This on the heels of federal agents entrapping citizens in a plot to kidnap and murder Gretchen Whitmer, and new questions about the FBI’s role in January 6th and the purported pipe bombs in D.C. Plus, “former Republican” Michael Steele grovels for pennies at the woke alters of MSNBC and Knowles responds to The Atlantic’s claim that praying the Rosary is “extremist."

Merrick Garland "will not stand" for attacks on the integrity of Biden’s DOJ and FBI! But just one question—what the heck happened to the rule of law? As the Attorney General turns the FBI into his personal political tool and raids Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to break down the consequences of this completely unprecedented move, including what it means for 2024, and expose the utter double-standard the Left is operating under. And speaking of weaponizing the federal government, Dems vote to double (yes, DOUBLE) the size of the IRS… to process our tax returns faster? Certainly not. The Biden Administration is out for blood, and this is simply their next move.

The White House completely botches Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan, increasing tensions with China and possibly setting up an all-out war. Senator Ted Cruz joins Liz Wheeler on The Cloakroom to contemplate the chances of China invading Taiwan, explain the enormous impacts that would have on the world, and consider how America could respond. Plus, back in the United States Senate, the Senator sends Jon Stewart (and all of Twitter) on a dishonest tirade over funding for a burn pit bill, and everyone watches for Kyrsten Sinema’s next move on the Inflation Reduction Act.

From murders at home to corruption at the White House, there is a dangerous crime wave sweeping our country. All the while, the Democrats continue their pattern of embracing mob violence to further their political agenda. Senator Ted Cruz joins co-host Michael Knowles to expose the absolute lawlessness in our streets that the Soros-funded prosecutors are ignoring and the even more scandalous lawlessness in our First Family that the DOJ refuses to acknowledge. What is the light at the end of the tunnel… if there is one?

It’s a familiar scene. The Left tries to define us out of reality. This time, it’s out of a full-blown recession. Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles from YAF’s National Conservative Student Conference to give a hard-line response to the White House and examine the motive behind their latest propaganda. Plus, as the consequences of illegal immigration spread across America, blue-city Democrats reek of hypocrisy. And someone get Joe Biden a trophy, because his blunders are about to net him the coveted “Most Republicans Elected by a Democrat” award in November.

Verdict has often been the topic of discussion at the White House podium, but for the first time ever, Verdict with Ted Cruz makes its way to the the House floor as Senator Ted Cruz’s viral episode of The Cloakroom with Liz Wheeler on same-sex marriage culminates in a political theater vote to enshrine a new definition of marriage into law. After being denounced by Chuck Schumer as "unhinged," the Senator joins Michael Knowles to address the saga and examine the complete transformation of public opinion in the last decade. Plus, from the "Colbert Nine" being let off the hook to racist Sesame Street characters, the podcasting pair takes questions from Verdict listeners in an extended mailbag segment.

The out-of-touch Democrats have reached a new low. Today, our favorite taco joins our favorite spicy meatball to laugh (and cringe) at the Left’s latest demented statements. Senator Ted Cruz and Michael Knowles consider the Democratic machine’s recent separation from Biden and what it means for the 2024 Democratic primary. Plus, some seriously insane interactions occur during a congressional hearing between this "person with the capacity for pregnancy" and the Senators. And if the Left wasn’t already going far enough off the rails, Macie Gray is now transphobic for, well, being proud to be a woman.

Can you change your sex by a mere act of the will? In a woke world that believes Ellen Page not only is now a man but was ALWAYS a man, is there any hope for us? Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael—or is it Michelle?—Knowles to discuss the sad state of our society as two major conservatives are tossed off Twitter for “dead naming” Page. Transing the culture will certainly backfire for Democrats in November, so what seats exactly should Republicans be keeping an eye on? Plus, our resident legal expert concludes his analysis of the latest (and greatest) Supreme Court term by breaking down the opinion that dealt a major blow to the deep state.

Following the release of the Dobbs opinion and the Chief Justice's decision to not overturn Roe v. Wade, Alan Dershowitz advocates for the same concept, calling the overturning of Roe “judicial activism.” Today on The Cloakroom, Senator Ted Cruz joins Liz to explore whether Dershowitz or Roberts are right in their call for judicial restraint and examine the legal reasons that may dismantle the Chief Justice’s arguments. Plus, will we ever find out the identity of the leaker?

Chuck Schumer—and some Senate Republicans—deliver a major blow to law-abiding citizens in the most sweeping gun control legislation this country has seen since the 90s. Senator Ted Cruz, straight from the Senate floor and primed for a late-night Verdict, comes to the podcast studio to reveal what happened, and how the crisis was nearly averted. But all hope is not lost! In the very same week, the Supreme Court That Keeps On Giving delivers a huge win for gun rights in America. So, what kind of effects will we see across America from these two developments? Plus, wait until you hear how the attorney who advocated in front of the Supreme Court in this gun control case (and won) fared at the hands of his woke law firm.

A day 49 years in the making. The greatest Supreme Court decision of our lifetime. "The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled.” In an emergency bonus episode, our resident constitutional expert Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to break down everything the Dobbs decision says and what it means for abortion in America. Plus, is the Court actually coming for contraception and same-sex marriage next? And what do the justices in the majority have to say about the Roberts concurrence, and the dissent?

14 Republicans cave to the Democrats in support of gun control legislation (talk about a major red flag), and now Senator Ted Cruz joins his co-host Michael Knowles straight from Capitol Hill to break down what’s inside this piece of legislation and what’s next in this heated debate. And across the way in The Marble Palace, liberal justices accuse conservatives of dismantling "the wall of separation between church and state" in the latest SCOTUS decision, but they’re missing one key thing about the Constitution. Plus, in case you’re keeping count, it's officially 2 for Verdict, 0 for Hollywood.

Is this a record?!? TWO North American leaders attack Senator Ted Cruz in a single week! What did he do to piss them off—and when will Trudeau join the party? The Senator joins Michael Knowles to take a wild ride through the week’s wacky events including Biden blaming #Bidenflation on Republicans, the quandary of loot boxes (shoutout to Twitch streamer Asmongold for asking), and Disney’s penchant for, apparently, lesbian toy lovers. Plus, Nancy Pelosi takes to the drag stage. Yes, you read that right. We wish we were kidding.

We could be days away from the biggest Supreme Court ruling in our lifetime, and Democrats are foaming at the mouth as they consider ways to pack the Court and tip the scales of justice. What hangs in the balance is nothing less than the fate of our government and our nation. U.S. Senator and former Supreme Court clerk Mike Lee returns to Verdict to sit down with U.S. Senator and former Supreme Court clerk Ted Cruz and Michael Knowles to discuss the magic number nine—and why it is so important to the future of the Court. Plus, in light of the leak and new attempted violence against the Justices, we recall Senator Schumer's words on the steps of the Court. Can we Save The Nine?

Inflation is at a 40-year high, crime is through the roof, and drag queens are jiggling for little kids. Americans have had enough. And the kicker? Democrats are doubling down. While the radical Left marches in lockstep toward defeat at the ballot box, most of America is left asking “what the hell are you thinking?!” Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to dissect the Democrat's extremism and break down what it means for all of us, and also for November. Do the Dems have any idea what’s coming? Plus, REVEALED: the Senator loses a poker game to his grandma.

"But the guns!” The problem with this tired demagoguery is two-fold, and, on the heels of his lib-triggering appearance at the NRA’s annual meeting this week, Senator Ted Cruz joins co-host Michael Knowles to break down what the Left is really trying to do and to discuss the real issue at hand: a deep-rooted rot that is infecting our culture and our children. And since we’re talking about crime, now that Michael Sussman is off the hook for lying to the FBI, what will come of the Durham investigation? Plus, did Hollywood finally grow a backbone? We’ll take things you never thought you’d hear on Verdict for 500, Alex!

This is the refrain on the lips of every Democrat demagogue this week, but what exactly do they want us to do—and will it save lives? As families and neighbors mourn the loss of 21 precious lives in Uvalde, Texas, heartless hucksters inside the beltway and in front of TV cameras rush to advance their agenda on the back of this community’s trauma. Straight from his briefings with local police, Texas DPS, the FBI, prosecutors, and school administrators, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to detail what we know at this point, and how parents and others in the community are being forced to deal with their grief while fending off vultures in the media. Plus, we know the “solutions" Chuck Schumer is calling for aren’t solutions at all, but what CAN we do that would actually save lives?

The Supreme Court rules in favor of our very own Senator Ted Cruz, striking down a portion of McCain-Feingold that unconstitutionally restricts the speech of candidates for political office. The man of the hour himself joins Michael Knowles to examine what this victory for free speech means for the future of campaigning and, more urgently, what it means for the 2022 elections. The Senator also sheds light on the Senate's 86 to 11 vote to approve $40 billion in funding for Ukraine. What's in the bill, now headed for Joe Biden's desk, and why did Senator Cruz vote for it? Plus, in a lightning mailbag round, Michael drops a #Megxit conspiracy theory and the Senator responds to Verdict listeners.

With no one left to out-sleaze but themselves, America’s bigoted media elites up their game. Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles straight from the Senate floor on the heels of the vote that defeated the radical Left’s national abortion agenda—and the amount of daylight between the reporting and the facts is blinding. And as the far-left Democrat machine sics its intimidation mobs on the families of our nation’s top justices, the media goes for a second KO: “mostly peaceful,” anyone? In the mailbag, your favorite principled podcasters look at the ideological composition (and future) of the GOP, address rumblings about “national divorce,” and reveal how they take their ☕️

Mere days after Elon and Twitter announced their engagement, Biden moves to create America’s very own Ministry of Truth. Led by radical Nina Jankowicz and draped in the costume of fighting “foreign disinformation,” the “Disinformation Governance Board” will surely be a blank check for free speech crackdowns here at home. The questions are swirling. How will this board operate? What enforcement powers will be granted to the Musical Minister? Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to reveal what exactly is so dangerous about this new federal power—created out of thin air and slipped past the American people under the darkness of the Supreme Court leak—and what can be done to stop it.

The egregious leak from the Supreme Court this week is not only unprecedented, it will alter the Court for a lifetime—possibly permanently. As Democrats spray gasoline on their frenzied campaign to burn down all three branches of government in one term, an investigation into SCOTUS’s security breach is underway, and Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to break it all down. What is the scope of the leak, how do security measures work at the Court, and how can we identify the source and hold him accountable? Plus, answers to the two questions on everyone's mind—where does Dobbs stand now, and will Joe, Chuck, and Nancy be able to legislate Roe in retaliation?

Biden is dragged—kicking and screaming—into banning the import of Russian oil, only to turn around and angle for oil deals with the Ayatollah and Maduro. Here at home, the Biden Administration continues to punish domestic oil and gas companies, the national average for a gallon of gas is $4.17 and climbing, and the political blame game is raging. Today, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to break down how we can fix the international energy crisis without making a deal with the devil. Plus, following the Senator’s meeting with President Zelensky, he reveals how we can support Ukraine and curb Russia’s aggression, but prevent a war with NATO.

Last night, an ever-sleepy Joe Biden mustered all his strength to deliver one very feeble State of the Putin, err... State of the Union address. Fortunately (or unfortunately), Senator Ted Cruz stayed awake through the whole thing this year, and he joins Michael Knowles now, hot off the House chamber for a midnight analysis of what went down in the ring. Our favorite Senator shares what happened that you may not have seen watching at home, how his colleagues reacted on the floor, and what the actual state of our union may be.

Afghanistan. Putin. The CCP. How many foreign policy disasters can Biden squeeze into one term? As Grandpa Joe considers green-lighting Iran’s path to a nuke, it appears there’s still room for more. Senator Ted Cruz, one of the leading voices against Biden’s plan to arm the Ayatollah, joins Michael Knowles to explain what’s at stake with the Iran deal, reflect on America’s diminished role in the world, and analyze the consequences on the horizon.

If we’ve learned anything from AOC, it’s that if your critics hate you, they just want to date you. The Babylon Bee apparently had the same thing in mind when they wrote about Senator Ted Cruz’s sexually frustrated critics in a now-viral satire story. In more serious news, the White House is forced to respond to Verdict from the briefing room podium, Democrats flip-flop hard on COVID, and the verdict is in for Elizabeth Holmes at the conclusion of a sensational trial. Plus, is a Verdict swimsuit calendar in the cards?

With one simple question, Senator Ted Cruz sets the internet on fire—Who is Ray Epps? Now, the Senator joins Michael Knowles and Liz Wheeler to ponder the answer to this and several subsequent questions. What was the FBI’s involvement in January 6th?

Biden, Schumer, and the Democrats were one vote away from passing Build Back Broke, and then it all went up in flames. Joe Manchin said no to his own party. As the man in the middle of it all, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles and Liz Wheeler to give the inside scoop on what happened. And because one victory isn’t enough, at the midnight hour, the Senator scored a second major victory against Schumer—let’s just say some major consequences for Russia are on now the docket. Now, the question that remains: will Republicans also be able to score a victory on vaccine mandates in the winter of "severe illness and death?"

As the Left kicks it into overdrive, spinning up new yarns about the January 6th “insurrection,” Senator Ted Cruz sits down with Michael Knowles and Liz Wheeler to discuss Liz Cheney’s “bombshell” text messages and figure out what the sham committee is actually after. Plus, after Kathy Hochul presumes to speak for God, the Supreme Court rejects a petition by New York healthcare workers for a religious exemption to vaccine diktats. And while Democrats rode their high horse this week, the Senator is accused of being a murderer—you’ll never guess why (okay, you might).

Putin is once again attempting to restore the Soviet Union and, according to experts, could be poised to roll tanks into Ukraine as early as January. Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles and Liz Wheeler to illustrate how the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a physical manifestation of Putin’s imperial ambitions and break down the concrete measures Joe Biden could, but won’t, take to prevent another American foreign policy disaster. Plus, in case you missed it, the Democratic plan to draft America’s daughters is foiled once again, Jimmy Kimmel proves himself to be a sore loser (who’s surprised?), and the January 6 commission is exposed as a kangaroo court.

The woke (read: miserable) Left has decided that Thanksgiving is a day to reflect on how terrible America is. Nonsense! Thanksgiving is a day for, well, thanksgiving. Senator Ted Cruz and Michael Knowles are joined by Liz Wheeler for this special holiday episode. Together, the Audiocasting A-Team shares some quirky Turkey Day traditions, takes your silly and serious Thanksgiving-themed questions, and even tells the story of a little known Mayflower love triangle, putting Michael’s Yale literature degree to the test. And what would an episode all about traditions be without poking a little fun at the Woke Women’s March? Happy Thanksgiving!

The verdict is in on the most controversial case in the country. Everybody has an opinion about Kyle Rittenhouse this week, but how many of them are informed by fact? We could certainly point out a few that aren't. Senator Ted Cruz circles the wagons with Michael Knowles and Liz Wheeler to break down what actually happened in Kenosha, what the law says about the circumstances, and what the politics at play are. Plus, will Rittenhouse be the next owner of MSNBC or the Washington Post?

Will Senator Cruz be indicted for murder? You might be forgiven for thinking so if you witnessed his recent exchange with Biden’s DHS Secretary in a Senate hearing room. Today, the Senator joins Michael Knowles to answer some questions (unlike Mayorkas) about the incident in question. Namely, why don’t the Democrats care about the kids in Biden's cages? Plus, because 0-2 wasn’t enough of a beat down, our old pal Robert Francis “Beto" O’Rourke is running for Governor. P.S. Who’s joining us on Cruz Street?!

The media and the Democrats are in a frenzy as Senator Ted Cruz takes on the muppets that are destroying America. The Senator has faced a lot of tough opponents during his years in the public eye, but has he finally found his match in Big Bird? Senator Cruz joins Michael Knowles to illuminate the dark ominous forces controlling these puppets (seriously) and discuss why we’re allowing the Left to circumvent parents like this. Plus, the Democrats reveal their glaring hypocrisy as they fly hundreds of private jets to save the world at climatepalooza.

This week, in what could reasonably be called the greatest day for Republicans in recent memory, the nation watched as we claimed major victories in Virginia. Among them, Glenn Youngkin soundly defeated Terry McAullife. Now, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to answer what should be the most important question of the week: how did Youngkin win, and how can we do it again? And, back by popular demand, the Senator and Michael officially welcome Liz Wheeler to the show with an extended mailbag segment. Plus, Senator Cruz reveals the terms of a wager he lost to another senator over the World Series outcome (you won’t believe what he has to do now). All we can say is, we hope there will be video!

On the heels of the University of Wisconsin-Madison selectively enforcing their COVID “policy” requiring speakers to wear masks, Senator Ted Cruz and Michael Knowles say enough is enough. Now, they are UW-Madison adjacent and going live on the first stop of the 2021 Young America's Foundation campus tour. Tonight, the Senator and Michael bring… wait for it… something OTHER than the campus-mandated leftist views to hundreds of thousands of people across America. If there’s one thing we have to say tonight, it’s this—screw your arbitrary, tyrannical, anti-science, rules UW-Madison.

The fight to raise the debt ceiling is at the center of Washington politics as Biden and his minions demand we spend every more, increasing the colossal 28 TRILLION dollars that is already our national debt. Because virtually nobody, even Michael Knowles, can keep up with this mess, Senator Cruz steps away from the chambers to answer the most pressing questions. What is the debt ceiling? Why does it matter? What happens if the United States defaults on its debt? One thing is certain, Washington is playing with fire. If you want even more behind-the-scenes access to the debates that are shaping our nation, join Michael and the Senator on their upcoming LIVE tour with Young America's Foundation.

Our enemies are emboldened. Our allies are dispirited. And Americans? We’re horrified. Joe Biden now owns the worst foreign policy catastrophe in a generation, and Senator Ted Cruz and Michael Knowles are here to break down the shocking decisions that an overly political Biden White House has made over the last month, the deadly consequences that followed, and the fallout that is still yet to come. Plus, the Senator and Michael share never-before-heard personal stories in the wake of the anniversary of 9/11. Also in this episode: Biden’s COVID vaccine mandate, Gavin Newsom vs. Larry Elder, #FreeBritney, and, of course, AOC’s Met Gala getup.

Spending, taxes, and inflation, oh my! Will Congress ram through Bernie’s batty and bloated budget? As it sits, the radical bill will raise taxes by the trillions, drive up our cost of living, and authorize over $4 trillion in government spending. Senator Cruz and Michael Knowles arrive in the studio to lay out a possible roadmap for blocking this no good, terrible, very bad idea. Plus, Michael opens the mailbag, and some disturbing questions fall out. Is there a robot uprising in our future?

Biden’s bungled Afghanistan exit has become such a catastrophe that even the liberal media is beginning to question the Commander in Chief's competence. As American foreign policy collapses before our very eyes, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles for a sobering dive into what went wrong, what can still be done, and what America’s place on the international stage will be under Biden and beyond. The eyes of the world are upon us now—especially the eyes of China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

Following a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week for liberty, science, and common sense, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to break down the CDC’s big credibility problem and take us inside the Senate to understand what the heck is going on in real time. Plus—shocker!—the multi-trillion dollar infrastructure bill isn’t actually about infrastructure. So what’s actually in it?

From Jack Dorsey’s bans on major publications to Mark Zuckerberg’s bidding for Jen Psaki, how did Big Tech grab the reins of our American political system? All too familiar with the work of the censorship czars, the New York Post's Sohrab Ahmari joins Senator Ted Cruz and Michael Knowles in the studio to uncover the roots of Big Tech's quest to quash opposing voices and to break down the legal (and political) fights we will face in the days ahead.

An oppressed people attempts to flee the clutches of tyranny. Perhaps in solidarity, Texas Democrats also attempt to throw off the chains that bind them (to responsibility) by stocking up on cold ones and hopping a private jet to Washington. Senator Ted Cruz, who might know a little something about Cuba and Texas, sits down with Michael Knowles to discuss the cause of libertad, the Democrats' double standard on the border, and—how could they not?—Scarface.

Oops! We did it again. Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Michael Knowles are here to adjudicate the defining legal issues of our republic, so obviously first on the docket is the plight of Britney Spears. Putting his expansive legal experience to work, the Senator breaks down exactly how the pop princess has been deprived of her rights through a toxic conservatorship. Plus, Biden’s DOJ sues Georgia over its voting protections, Congress discusses a new voting law named after John Lewis, and the highest court in the land refuses to hear a case on a man’s right to use the women's bathroom. What a circus!

While concerned parents storm school board meetings to demand an end to Critical Race Theory in the classroom, leftists manage the mental gymnastics of simultaneously denying it exists and defending it. This week, the man who most prominently sounded the alarm bells over this dangerous ideology, Christopher Rufo, joins Senator Ted Cruz and Michael Knowles. Together, the trio explores where CRT originated, how it metastasized, and what the light at the end of the tunnel could be—if there is one. Plus, what does it mean to be a conservative environmentalist?

Critical Race Theory. Censorship. Socialism. Second Wave Feminism. Wokeism. This is what you get when Michael Knowles is in the hot seat! Interchanging armchairs for the day, Senator Ted Cruz interviews Michael on the dangerous fruits of political correctness that are springing up throughout our society. Going even deeper, Michael reveals where this cultural rot started and how we might yet be able to counteract it. (Spoiler alert: this story starts all the way back in the 1930s.) Oh yeah, and Michael wrote a book with words in it—yes, really. This is Verdict with Michael Knowles.

Hamas is firing rockets into the state of Israel, Israel is fighting back to ensure its survival, and—like a madman—Senator Ted Cruz is headed right into the middle of it all. For the moment though, the Senator is safe and sound with co-host Michael Knowles in Washington. Together on this episode, the two wonkish wordsmiths break down the Mideast conflict in its entirety—what’s at play today and how we got here, what changed since the Trump years, and—the real question—why so many Democrats are openly supporting terrorists.

Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles straight from the Hill, where a lot of things just happened that you probably didn’t hear about. The Senator introduces forty six—yes, really—amendments to the Democrats' precious Corrupt Politicians Act. Is this top priority for Democrats—S. 1 and H.R. 1—one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation ever introduced on the floor of the United States Congress? Also, what the hell is a "ghost gun?" Democrats may have finally lost it as they create a made-up term to describe a made-up problem. Plus, does Senator Cruz have a Hill digital director job in his future? Twitter says yes.

It’s wall-to-wall mailbag today in the Verdict studio! After much too much of a hiatus, Michael Knowles takes a break from asking Senator Cruz his questions and instead poses yours.

Joe Biden ~finally~ addresses a joint session of Congress, and Senator Ted Cruz was there for it all. Well, most of it. Fresh off a good night’s rest, the Senator joins Michael Knowles to break down Biden’s boring—but radical—remarks. Double masked in a stammering sleepy temperament, Biden unveiled what may be the most radical policy package any president has ever presented in his first 100 days. Clearly benefitting from his beauty rest, the Senator reveals what the Democrats are planning to do, and what we can do to stop them. Plus, did you catch Biden’s big beta moment in Nancy’s house?

Senator Ted Cruz and Michael Knowles move some cactuses around and make room to welcome Governor Scott Walker to the Verdict studio.
