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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

And because a hard day’s work is never done, Biden and his band of hooligans continue to fight against the Senator on Nord Stream 2 and the filibuster. In celebration of the 100th episode and the two year anniversary of Verdict, we’ve got 3 exciting giveaways and challenges for Verdict listeners:1.

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.

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 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.

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?

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
