A Big Damn Deal May 05, 2022

Show notes

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?

Free speech is in the air as Yale’s very own Peter Parker accuses our Verdict hosts of "chipping away at democracy.” However will the podcasting pair be able to show their faces at Yale now?!?

Oil & Gas(lighting) Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

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.

The State of Our Union | SPECIAL UPDATE Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

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.

March to Kyiv Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

As Putin shells Kyiv, is there any hope of stopping the mad man? Coming straight from a classified briefing on the matter, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to discuss what Biden should have done to deter Putin and what can still be done at this late hour.
