Schumer Shutdown Rolls On as President Trump Honors Charlie Kirk
10/15/2025
Political Discussion – “Schumer Shutdown”:
Ferguson argues that Democrats, led by Senator Chuck Schumer, are responsible for keeping the government closed.
They portray Republicans as trying to reopen the government, while Democrats allegedly refuse.
President Trump is praised for redirecting Defense Department funds to pay service members during the shutdown — presented as undermining Democrats’ political strategy.
Democrats want taxpayer-funded health care for undocumented immigrants and are motivated by political self-preservation rather than governance.
We describe the hardship for unpaid federal workers.
The conversation emphasizes that Democrats’ alleged political games are causing unnecessary suffering.
They assert the shutdown will last until after the “No Kings Rally,” described as a left-wing anti-Trump protest in D.C.
Tribute Segment – Charlie Kirk’s Memorial:
The second half of the podcast focuses on Charlie Kirk’s posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony.
Ben recounts the event in emotional, spiritual terms, highlighting Erica Kirk’s (his widow’s) public forgiveness of Kirk’s killer.
He frames this as a Christian act of grace and gospel testimony.
The conversation portrays Kirk as a “martyr for truth and freedom,” comparing him to historical figures like Socrates, Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr.
President Trump’s remarks are quoted extensively, celebrating Kirk as a visionary and moral hero.
The discussion closes with reflection on Kirk’s influence on youth, his faith, and his perceived role as a symbol of conservative moral strength.

PEACE in the Middle East-Hostages Freed under Historic Trump Agreement
10/13/2025
BREAKING NEWS: 7 of the 20 October 7 hostages RELEASED!
Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson praise Trump’s leadership, portraying him as uniquely capable of achieving peace through strength.
They contrast this with Biden’s and Obama’s foreign policy, which they characterize as weak and enabling of terrorism.
The Red Cross is facilitating the transfer of hostages held underground in Gaza for over two years.
The first seven hostages have been handed over, with the full release expected by noon (Israel time).
In exchange, Israel is releasing about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including:
250 serving long sentences,
1,700 detained during the conflict, and
The remains of 28 deceased hostages.
Endorsements & Reactions –

Clinton is depicted as praising Trump’s deal (a rare bipartisan gesture), while Obama’s response is described as “classless” for not naming Trump.
Foreign Policy Narrative –
Trump’s bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities and his “peace through strength” doctrine are credited for pressuring Hamas into negotiations.
The Biden administration is blamed for previous instability, alleged funding to Iran, and a weak stance toward Israel.
Government Shutdown Continues:U.S. government shutdown goes on, the “Schumer shutdown”, as Democrats keep prolonging it. When will it end? We discuss it.

Israel-Hamas and Trump's Art of the Deal
10/12/2025
🕊️ 1. The “Trump Gaza Peace Deal” Narrative
The first two-thirds of the podcast revolve around a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, brokered by former President Donald Trump.
Ben describes this as a “historic peace deal” ending a two-year war in Gaza, involving multiple nations (Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc.), and resulting in the release of hostages and withdrawal of Israeli troops.
We repeatedly emphasizes that mainstream (“corporate”) media—including CNN anchors like Anderson Cooper and Abby Phillip—are praising Trump for achieving peace where previous presidents failed.
The tone is celebratory, nationalistic, and highly complimentary toward Trump, portraying him as a decisive leader whose “peace through strength” approach succeeded after others (notably Joe Biden) failed.
It references public celebrations, calls for Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and widespread international cooperation allegedly under his leadership.
🇮🇱 Section 2: The Hamas–Israel Peace Deal
Reports claim that Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and peace plan led by Donald Trump, to be signed in Egypt.
Trump is quoted describing the deal as a “historic and everlasting peace”, involving the release of all Israeli hostages taken during the October 7, 2023 attacks, and Israeli troop withdrawals from Gaza.
The document portrays this as a major diplomatic breakthrough, crediting Trump for uniting Arab and Muslim nations behind the plan.
Family members of hostages are included in a recorded phone call, expressing emotional gratitude toward Trump, reinforcing his image as a “peacemaker.”
🕊️ Section 3: Trump’s Broader Vision
Trump discusses creating a “Council of Peace” to rebuild Gaza with financial help from wealthy Arab nations.
He also ties the Middle East peace process to his domestic policy agenda, emphasizing law and order, crime reduction, and urban renewal in U.S. cities like Washington, D.C.
Ben praises these efforts and portrays Trump’s leadership as transformative both internationally and domestically.
⚖️ Section 4: Criticism of Democrats and Pro-Palestinian Figures
The narrative shifts to criticism of U.S. Democratic politicians, particularly New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, for accusing Israel of genocide on the two-year anniversary of the Hamas attacks.
Ben frames this as an example of moral hypocrisy and radicalization within the Democratic Party, arguing that leftist silence on anti-Israel rhetoric empowers extremism.
💣 Section 5: Ongoing Extremism and Anti-Semitic Violence
The episode recounts incidents such as a synagogue attack in Manchester, UK, allegedly committed by an extremist who pledged allegiance to ISIS.
It criticizes authorities for failing to label such acts as terrorism, framing this as part of a global unwillingness to confront Islamic extremism.

From Comey, to Jack Smith & 8 Senators Spied Upon, the WH is Exposing the Deep State
10/11/2025
1. FBI Spied on Republicans:
The FBI performed a “toll analysis” (a term for examining phone call records and metadata) on eight Republican senators and one congressman.
This was supposedly part of a secretive investigation codenamed “Arctic Frost”.
The surveillance allegedly occurred after Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago raid and during Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump and the January 6th events.
The senators targeted include:
Lindsey Graham, Bill Haggerty, Josh Hawley, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Lummis, and Marsha Blackburn — with Representative Mike Kelly also mentioned.
An introductory narrator asserting the FBI’s wrongdoing.
Quoted remarks from Senators Ron Johnson, Chuck Grassley, Bill Haggerty, and others, condemning the alleged surveillance.
Repeated claims that this represents “weaponization of government” and “political persecution.”
Statements linking this case to prior alleged abuses under the Obama administration and investigations into Trump.
🧩 2. Government “Weaponization” and Political Retaliation
The first section describes a Senate hearing involving:
Attorney General Pam Bondi testifying before the Senate.
Senator Josh Hawley accusing the Biden administration, the DOJ, and the FBI of “weaponizing” federal agencies against Republicans.
Claims include:
FBI phone tapping of Republican senators (e.g., Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn).
Surveillance of conservative organizations such as Turning Point USA.
Targeting of Catholics, parents at school board meetings, and pro-life activists.
Bondi asserts that “weaponization under Donald Trump has ended,” suggesting this scene takes place under a new Trump administration that is “restoring justice.”
Story 3 – “FBI Abuse and Cover-Up”
FBI Director Kash Patel has fired agents involved in tracking phone calls of eight Republican senators and one congressman during a supposed investigation led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
It describes a hidden vault of subpoenaed communication records, suggesting a deliberate cover-up under the previous administration’s Department of Justice.
The text portrays Patel as a whistleblower uncovering “deep state” corruption and restoring transparency.
Senator Josh Hawley is quoted condemning the investigation as an abuse of power “beyond Watergate”, calling for a special counsel.
The narrative concludes that the FBI and DOJ were weaponized against political opponents and that new leadership is “unsealing the vault” to expose them.

Blue City Crime Chaos, it's a Schumer Shutdown & Leftist Judicial Bias at its Best Week In Review
10/11/2025
1. “Blue City Chaos” and Crime Policies
Discussion of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about crime in major U.S. cities.
The claim: 18 of the 20 most crime-ridden cities are run by Democrats.
Criticism of “Soros-backed” district attorneys and “soft-on-crime” policies, particularly around bail reform, downgrading felonies, and early release of offenders.
Examples cited: Alvin Bragg (New York), Deborah Gonzalez (Georgia), John Chisholm (Wisconsin).
The narrative: Progressive criminal justice reforms are increasing violent crime.
Senator Cruz promotes his proposed Clean DC Act, aiming to reverse DC’s 2022 crime laws.
Argues that defunding police and reducing penalties have worsened crime.
Mentions that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in DC reduced murder rates by 58%.
The conversation portrays Democrats as anti-police and Republicans as restoring safety.
3. Government Shutdown Debate
Discussion shifts to the federal government shutdown, framing Democrats as the cause.
The senator claims Republicans voted repeatedly to reopen the government with a “clean CR (continuing resolution).”
Blames Chuck Schumer and the far left for the stalemate, asserting they demand “health care for illegal immigrants.”
References CBS polling data showing low Democratic favorability, with top public perceptions being “weak” and “extreme.”
3. Judge Sentencing & Brett Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt
Strong reaction to the sentencing of Nicholas Roske, who plotted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The judge, Deborah Boardman (a Biden appointee), is accused of issuing a lenient 8-year sentence (instead of 30) allegedly because the defendant was transgender.
The conversation characterizes this as leftist judicial bias and calls for her impeachment.
Senator Cruz says this demonstrates dangerous partisanship and failure to protect the rule of law.

The Trump Gaza Peace Deal Narrative plus Kash Patel goes after the Deep State
10/10/2025
🕊️ 1. The “Trump Gaza Peace Deal” Narrative
The first two-thirds of the podcast revolve around a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, brokered by former President Donald Trump.
Ben describes this as a “historic peace deal” ending a two-year war in Gaza, involving multiple nations (Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc.), and resulting in the release of hostages and withdrawal of Israeli troops.
We repeatedly emphasizes that mainstream (“corporate”) media—including CNN anchors like Anderson Cooper and Abby Phillip—are praising Trump for achieving peace where previous presidents failed.
The tone is celebratory, nationalistic, and highly complimentary toward Trump, portraying him as a decisive leader whose “peace through strength” approach succeeded after others (notably Joe Biden) failed.
It references public celebrations, calls for Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and widespread international cooperation allegedly under his leadership.
⚖️ 2. Deep State and Political Retaliation
Claims that the FBI and DOJ under prior administrations (Biden/Jack Smith) illegally subpoenaed phone records of Republican senators.
Portrays the new FBI Director Kash Patel as a hero uncovering deep corruption and vowing transparency.
Mentions that the FBI “fired agents” who were part of this alleged misconduct.
New York Attorney General Letitia James indicted for mortgage fraud
Commentary from CNN’s Jake Tapper and Adam Kinzinger is cited, though the content appears fabricated or heavily reimagined to fit the host’s framing.
The tone frames Trump as restoring justice and the “rule of law,” while “the deep state” and the political left are being exposed and punished.

FBI Director Kash Patel Fires Agents involved in GOP Phone Tracking Skeem & Letitia gets Indicted
10/10/2025
Story 1 – “FBI Abuse and Cover-Up”
FBI Director Kash Patel has fired agents involved in tracking phone calls of eight Republican senators and one congressman during a supposed investigation led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
It describes a hidden vault of subpoenaed communication records, suggesting a deliberate cover-up under the previous administration’s Department of Justice.
The text portrays Patel as a whistleblower uncovering “deep state” corruption and restoring transparency.
Senator Josh Hawley is quoted condemning the investigation as an abuse of power “beyond Watergate”, calling for a special counsel.
The narrative concludes that the FBI and DOJ were weaponized against political opponents and that new leadership is “unsealing the vault” to expose them.
Story 2 – Letitia James Indicted
New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on federal bank fraud charges in Virginia.
It asserts that she falsified mortgage documents and lied about property records.
The narrative contrasts how mainstream media (CNN) allegedly downplays her wrongdoing while emphasizing Trump’s involvement.
Commentary from Adam Kinzinger is quoted, supposedly acknowledging both James’s mistakes and the political motives behind her indictment.
The story concludes by framing James’s case as part of a broader reckoning against the “deep state” and vindication for Donald Trump’s promises to hold his opponents accountable.

Israel & Hamas Sign off on 1st Phase of Peace Deal as Anti-Semitic Violence Increases Globally
10/9/2025
🇮🇱 Section 1: The Alleged Hamas–Israel Peace Deal
Reports claim that Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and peace plan led by Donald Trump, to be signed in Egypt.
Trump is quoted describing the deal as a “historic and everlasting peace”, involving the release of all Israeli hostages taken during the October 7, 2023 attacks, and Israeli troop withdrawals from Gaza.
The document portrays this as a major diplomatic breakthrough, crediting Trump for uniting Arab and Muslim nations behind the plan.
Family members of hostages are included in a recorded phone call, expressing emotional gratitude toward Trump, reinforcing his image as a “peacemaker.”
🕊️ Section 2: Trump’s Broader Vision
Trump discusses creating a “Council of Peace” to rebuild Gaza with financial help from wealthy Arab nations.
He also ties the Middle East peace process to his domestic policy agenda, emphasizing law and order, crime reduction, and urban renewal in U.S. cities like Washington, D.C.
Ben praises these efforts and portrays Trump’s leadership as transformative both internationally and domestically.
⚖️ Section 3: Criticism of Democrats and Pro-Palestinian Figures
The narrative shifts to criticism of U.S. Democratic politicians, particularly New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, for accusing Israel of genocide on the two-year anniversary of the Hamas attacks.
Ben frames this as an example of moral hypocrisy and radicalization within the Democratic Party, arguing that leftist silence on anti-Israel rhetoric empowers extremism.
💣 Section 4: Ongoing Extremism and Anti-Semitic Violence
The episode recounts incidents such as a synagogue attack in Manchester, UK, allegedly committed by an extremist who pledged allegiance to ISIS.
It criticizes authorities for failing to label such acts as terrorism, framing this as part of a global unwillingness to confront Islamic extremism.
🕵️♂️ Section 5: Chinese Influence and U.S. Left-Wing Activism
The final portion investigates Neville Roy Singham, a tech billionaire accused of maintaining business ties to China and funding anti-Israel and pro-Communist groups such as Code Pink and The People’s Forum.
It claims Singham’s money fuels campus protests, anti-Israel activism, and pro-China propaganda, suggesting foreign influence in U.S. left-wing movements.
The podcast concludes by asserting that mainstream media ignores these connections.
