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?!? Plus, as Elon Musk buys more stock in Twitter than Jack Dorsey owns, Threat To Democracy Cruz joins Threat To Democracy Knowles to consider a future where Twitter is once again a free and fair public square for ideas. All this while Ron Klain, the same upstanding man who co-led the smear campaign against Clarence Thomas alongside Joseph R. Biden, feigns moral outrage at the Senator for daring to question Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s record.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Verdict with Ted Cruz is headed to Yale University on April 11 and the University of Alabama on April 18 in partnership with Young America’s Foundation. To find out how you can attend in person, visit https://yaf.org/verdictlive.
