Not a Trump Referendum, Reject the Media Spin plus CA to GOP: Pack Up & Leave
State-by-State Breakdown Virginia Described as a “perfect storm” for Democrats due to: Heavy outside funding (3-to-1 spending advantage). Government shutdown affecting many federal workers in the state. Lack of galvanizing issues like those that helped Glenn Youngkin win previously (e.g., Loudoun County school scandal). Mentions a Democratic candidate who allegedly called for violence against Republicans, yet still won. New Jersey A liberal stronghold where Democrats won decisively. The government shutdown is again cited as a factor. The race wasn’t as close as expected, with Mikie Sherrill defeating Jack Ciattarelli. New York City The election of Zohran Mamdani is described as a “communist win.” Criticized for radical views, including abolishing police and hostility toward Israeli leadership. Even with full consolidation of Republican votes, Mamdani would still have won. California Proposition 50 passed, redrawing districts to add five Democratic seats. Criticized as extreme gerrymandering, effectively silencing Republican representation. Framed as a message to Republicans to “leave the state.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Election Disaster: Wipeouts in VA, NJ & NYC plus Ben on the ground in Israel
🗳️ U.S. Election Analysis The hosts express deep concern and disappointment over recent election results in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City, which they characterize as a “disaster” for Republicans and conservatives. Key Points: Virginia: Republicans suffered major losses, including the defeat of Winsome Sears and Jason Miyares. The hosts cite massive Democrat spending and controversial candidates like J. Jones, who allegedly made violent remarks. New Jersey: Jack Ciattarelli lost to Mikie Sherrill by a wide margin, surprising the hosts who expected a stronger Republican showing. New York City: The election of Zohran Mamdani (referred to as a “communist jihadist” by Cruz) is described as alarming. Cruz accuses Mamdani of supporting Hamas and promoting radical ideologies. California Proposition 50: Passed to redistrict and create five new Democrat seats, which Cruz claims is a power grab and anti-democratic. The tone is highly critical of Democratic strategies, voter behavior, and what the hosts see as a growing radicalism within the party. 🇮🇱 Ben Ferguson’s Visit to Israel Ben Ferguson shares emotional and spiritual experiences from his first trip to Israel, including: Highlights: Spiritual Pilgrimage: Visits to the Sea of Galilee, the Whaling Wall, and the tomb believed to be where Jesus was buried and resurrected. War Zone Encounters: Met families of children killed by Hezbollah rockets while playing soccer. Visited northern Israel near the Lebanon border, witnessing destruction and meeting displaced farmers. Described the “Pager Attack” — a covert Israeli operation targeting Hezbollah leadership using explosive-laden pagers. Met with Holocaust survivors and families of hostages taken during the October 7 Hamas attack. Psychological Warfare: Ferguson recounts stories of hostages being mentally tortured, lied to, and starved.

Safe in the Holy Land: A Firsthand Look at Life in Jerusalem Today
1. Hostage Remains and Psychological Warfare The podcast opens with a news story from the Jerusalem Post about Hamas returning partial remains to Israel. These remains were not from known hostages, which the speaker describes as a form of psychological torture against Israeli families. The Red Cross acted as an intermediary in the handover, but Hamas did not specify whose remains were being returned. 2. Personal Reflections and Pilgrimage Ben then shares that this trip to Israel is a spiritual journey, visiting sites related to Jesus and expressing feelings of safety and peace in Jerusalem. Encourages others to visit Israel, stating it feels safe despite the conflict. 3. Rise of Antisemitism in the U.S. A major theme is the alleged rise of antisemitism among American conservatives. Specific figures mentioned include Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes, accused of downplaying Israel’s importance as a U.S. ally. The speaker references Senator Ted Cruz, who warned of a “growing cancer” of antisemitism on the political right and urged Christian leaders to confront it. 4. Media Criticism Ben criticizes mainstream media for allegedly portraying Israel as the aggressor and failing to tell the stories of Israeli victims and hostages. 5. Support for Donald Trump Ben praises Donald Trump’s leadership, particularly his role in the Abraham Accords and efforts to secure the release of hostages. Expresses gratitude from Israelis for Trump’s support and contrasts it with previous U.S. administrations. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Jack Smith’s Surveillance Dragnet Demanded Trump Media’s Metadata
🧊 Arctic Frost Probe & Jack Smith Allegations: Abuse of Power Allegations: Former Congressman Devin Nunes and others accuse Jack Smith of issuing overly broad and secret subpoenas targeting Trump-linked individuals and entities, including Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), even before the company existed. Scope of Surveillance: The subpoenas reportedly covered over 430 individuals and entities, including bank records, phone data, and metadata, raising concerns about a politically motivated “fishing expedition.” Whistleblower Revelations: Much of the information came from whistleblowers and leaked documents, not official DOJ disclosures. Congressional Reaction: Lawmakers like Jim Jordan and Donald Trump express outrage, calling for investigations, depositions, and accountability. Jordan claims two of Smith’s deputies invoked the Fifth Amendment over 70 times during questioning. Transparency Issues: Redacted documents and hidden sources are criticized for obstructing oversight and accountability. Jordan and others demand full disclosure and identification of agents and sources involved. Historical Parallels: The probe is compared to past scandals like the Steele dossier and surveillance of Trump’s 2016 campaign, suggesting a pattern of politicized investigations. Political Weaponization Claims: The podcast paints a picture of the DOJ and FBI being used to target political opponents, particularly conservatives and Trump allies. The Arctic Frost investigation is described as a continuation of alleged partisan tactics dating back to 2016. Legal & Ethical Concerns: The breadth of the subpoenas — including metadata, IP addresses, and financial records — raises serious privacy and constitutional questions. The lack of indictments despite extensive surveillance suggests the investigation may have lacked sufficient legal basis. Calls for Accountability: Trump and GOP lawmakers are pushing for consequences, including potential impeachment of judges and depositions of investigators. The emphasis on whistleblowers and transparency reflects a broader effort to reform federal investigative practices. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
