We are just a month out from the midterm elections, our very own Senator is on a 17-state bus tour to take back America, and the next phase of politics is on the horizon—as is the next phase of this show.

Ep 144Biden in His Own Words
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.--Diversify your savings with American Hartford Gold and get up to $1,500 of free silver PLUS a free safe today.

Ep 143Migrant Madness
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.--Diversify your savings with American Hartford Gold and get up to $1,500 of free silver PLUS a free safe today.

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.

Ep 142Crapping In America's Coffee
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?Apply to bring Verdict to your campus this fall at https://yaf.org/verdict.--Diversify your savings with American Hartford Gold and get up to $1,500 of free silver PLUS a free safe today.

Ep 141Reverse Robin Hood
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.

Ep 140Fishing and Fednapping and Fabrication, Oh My!
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."Apply to bring Verdict to your campus this fall at https://yaf.org/verdict.--Diversify your savings with American Hartford Gold and get up to $1,500 of free silver PLUS a free safe today.

Ep 139The Department of Injustice
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.--Diversify your savings with American Hartford Gold and get up to $1,500 of free silver PLUS a free safe today.

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.

Ep 138Sex, Drugs, and Violence
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.

Ep 137Defining A Recession
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.

Ep 136The Redefinition of Marriage
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.--Diversify your savings with American Hartford Gold and get up to $1,500 of free silver PLUS a free safe today.

Ep 135Woke and Confused
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.--Diversify your savings with American Hartford Gold and get up to $1,500 of free silver PLUS a free safe today.

Ep 134Oceania Had Always Been at War with Eastasia
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.--Diversify your savings and get up to $1,500 of free silver today with American Hartford Gold: text CACTUS to 6-5-5-3-2.

Ep 133Out of Control Gun Control
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.

Ep 132Roe and Casey Are Overruled
A day 49 years in the making. The greatest Supreme Court decision of our lifetime.

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?

Ep 131Go Woke, Go Broke
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.

To Absurdity and Beyond!
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.

Ep 129How To Not Destroy Our Government ft. Senator Mike Lee
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.

Ep 128Libs Gone Wild
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.

Ep 127The Nature of Evil
"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?

Ep 126Do Something
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?--IP Vanish helps you securely and privately browse the internet by encrypting 100% of your data.

Ep 125The Opinion of the Court
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?

Ep 124Lying Sacks Of Crap
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?

Ep 123Big Sister Is Watching
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.--Make this Mother’s Day one that she’ll always remember with the gift of Genucel.
