Fishing and Fednapping and Fabrication, Oh My! Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

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."

The Department of Injustice Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

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 Cloakroom Preview: What if China Invades Taiwan? Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

This is a special preview of The Cloakroom, a series made exclusively for Verdict+. Join Senator Ted Cruz and Liz Wheeler each week as they pull back the curtain on the philosophy that informs our political debates, the stories that are reshaping our culture, and the legal principles at play on America’s stage and beyond. Become a Verdict+ subscriber to get exclusive access: https://verdictwithtedcruz.com/plus.

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.

Sex, Drugs, and Violence Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

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?

Defining A Recession Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

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.

The Redefinition of Marriage Jul 22, 2022

Show notes

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.

Woke and Confused Jul 14, 2022

Show notes

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.

Oceania Had Always Been at War with Eastasia Jul 10, 2022

Show notes

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.

The Cloakroom Preview: A response to Chief Justice Roberts Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

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?

Out of Control Gun Control Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

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.
