The Ben Ferguson Podcast

The Book and Its Premise Under Siege is presented as Eric Trump’s account of what is “the greatest governmental corruption this nation has ever seen.” Trump and is family were victims of political persecution, media bias, and systemic weaponization of institutions. Claims of Government “Weaponization” Eric Trump accuses the DOJ, FBI, and state-level prosecutors (Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, etc.) of targeting his family for political reasons. He recounts the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago as an overreach and describes it as “staged” and politically motivated. Mentions being “the most subpoenaed man in history,” claiming to have received over 100 subpoenas. Debanking and Corporate Retaliation Eric Trump says that hundreds of bank accounts belonging to Trump businesses and affiliates were closed due to political pressure. Specific banks named: Capital One, JP Morgan, Bank of America, First Republic. He frames this as an example of private-sector “weaponization” against conservatives. Financial and Legal Struggles The family spent around $400 million defending themselves from investigations and lawsuits. Describes how banks, courts, and insurance companies were allegedly pressured to avoid doing business with the Trump Organization. Personal Reflections and Family Dynamics Speaks warmly of his father as a calm, strong leader under pressure and a strict but loving parent. Emphasizes a childhood of discipline, work ethic, and learning through labor rather than wealth. Contrasts the Trump family’s “moral integrity” with Hunter Biden’s alleged misconduct. Political and Cultural Commentary Denounces DEI initiatives, “wokeness,” and progressive policies as threats to American values. Frames the Trump family’s experience as symbolic of a broader national struggle between conservatives and “corrupt elites.” Presents cryptocurrency as a form of financial freedom against institutional control.

1. Hamas and Gaza Describes alleged public executions by Hamas in Gaza following a ceasefire. Accuses Hamas of maintaining control through fear and violence, and undermining peace efforts. Mentions a ceasefire deal brokered by Donald Trump, involving hostage exchanges between Hamas and Israel. Cites U.S. and Israeli officials’ warnings that fighting may resume if Hamas fails to comply. Frames Hamas unequivocally as a terrorist organization incapable of peace. 2. Domestic Political Controversy Discusses a New York City political figure named Mamdani (likely referring to Zohran Mamdani, a New York state assemblyman), labeled here as a “socialist” and “anti-Israel” candidate. Includes an interview exchange where Mamdani allegedly refuses to condemn Hamas or support Israel, using this as a basis for accusations of antisemitism. Claims Mamdani said he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visited New York — presented as an example of “anti-Semitic extremism.” 3. DHS and Cartel Threats Shifts focus to U.S. homeland security. Reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified Mexican cartel-linked bounties placed on ICE and Border Patrol officers. Describes a tiered bounty system — $2,000 for doxing agents, up to $50,000 for assassinations. Blames cartels, street gangs (e.g., Latin Kings), and “Democrat leaders” for escalating violence and undermining ICE. References Facebook removing cartel-linked groups that targeted ICE agents. 4. Trump’s Response Donald Trump is taking decisive military action: Authorizing strikes on drug boats and CIA operations in Venezuela. Declaring drug cartels as terrorist organizations. Quotes Eric Trump defending these measures, emphasizing fentanyl deaths, crime in Chicago, and his father’s “war on the cartels.” Frames Democrats as soft on crime and complicit in cartel activity.

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. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Advertising Segment: The conversation temporarily shifts into a sponsor ad for “Backyard Butchers,” promoting American ranchers and criticizing “Big Ag.” → This is a common podcast monetization interlude framed around populist “buy American” messaging. Continuation of Shutdown Debate: Cruz describes the hardship for unpaid federal workers. The conversation emphasizes that Democrats’ alleged political games are causing unnecessary suffering. Cruz speculates the shutdown will only end once moderate or retiring Democrats break ranks.

1. Historic Peace Agreement Israel and Hamas ending a war that began in October 2023. We celebrate Trump’s role in brokering the deal, presenting it as a moment of global significance—“the end of the age of terror and death” and “a new dawn for the Middle East.” 2. Key Events Described Hostage exchange: Hamas releases the final 20 living Israeli hostages; Israel releases 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. Return of remains: The bodies of several deceased hostages are repatriated. Ceasefire and framework: The plan involves partial Israeli troop withdrawal, establishment of a technocratic Gaza administration (not Hamas-controlled), and disarmament conditions. Humanitarian aid: Large-scale relief efforts in Gaza are emphasized. International involvement: Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and others serve as guarantors; a reconstruction and aid summit is held in Egypt. 3. Trump’s Role and Statements Trump was the chief architect and hero of the peace accord. He calls it “the greatest assemblage of countries in terms of wealth and power.” He refers to it as the “granddaddy of them all” among peace efforts. The text includes his speech excerpts on Air Force One and before the Israeli parliament (Knesset). 4. Reactions and Praise The piece highlights unusually bipartisan and international praise: Hillary Clinton commends Trump’s efforts, calling the deal “a really significant first step.” Major news outlets—CBS and NBC—report on it with positive framing, using phrases like “historic peace deal” and “landmark diplomatic success.” Netanyahu is quoted calling Trump “the greatest friend the State of Israel has ever had.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

🕊️ 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. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

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.

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.

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.

🇮🇱 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. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
