Sex, 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.

The 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.

Woke 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.

Oceania 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.

Go 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.
