President Biden promised us unity and healing. A lot of people expected moderation, circumspection from good old sleepy Joe. Instead, what we have gotten is the most radical agenda of any presidential administration by my lights in American history. And we are not even halfway through the first

hundred days. This is Verdict with Ted Cruz.

Welcome back to Verdict with Ted Cruz. I'm Michael Knowles. Thank you all for being with us.

It is good to be with you again. Thanks to everybody who has subscribed on Apple Podcasts, on Spotify, on YouTube. If you haven't already, we would very much appreciate you're doing that. As everybody is getting canceled these days up to and including Dr. Seuss, Mr. Potato Head, we fear that big tech could clamp down, so it'd be great to be with you and have you subscribe as well. Senator, I have to tell you, I wish I had a happy outlook on the first 100 days of this administration. It kills me to say this.

prohibited. Yes, but I'm glad we could clear the air here because it is very good to be back

with you, even amid all this crazy turmoil here in the United States. There actually, I don't want to

just be too doom and gloom here because there actually has been some good news. In some ways,

I know that you and your colleagues have been stymying some of the worst impulses of the Biden administration, particularly on the nominations.

But I want to get the bad news out of the way first.

Just even one single piece of legislation that's made its way through the House, the Equality Act, seems to me that maybe the single most radical piece of legislation that's made its way through the House, the Equality Act seems to me

that maybe the single most radical piece of legislation ever in American history. Am I wrong?

Am I overreacting here?

Well, give them time that they will pass even more radical stuff. And, you know, if I were to

sum up the first 50-ish days of the Biden administration with three words,
