  • Wow

    I agree with you, Ben! I think we should start having debates after the candidates have had at least three cocktails. That was fIng hysterical!

  • On purpose, or... ?

    You consistently say what sounds like "ill ahm" when pronouncing Congressman Omar's first name which should read "ill ahN" or "ill-Hahn. The same goes with the New York City Mayor correctly pronounced, as I understand it, "mah-n don-nee," and which you pronounce "mom-dom-me". Please clarify!

  • Wires crossed????

    Today, April 13’s content was along about the bite “old news” of the Michigan synagogue terror attack. The description was about the new Iranian blockade—no match whatsoever for actual content

  • Great info

    Please stop using AI to write your scripts. And if you do, please stop reading them like you’re an AI voice. Be human. Your iHeart intro says “Guaranteed human”right?

    Other than that really great info. Thank you for letting me skip all the commercials. They are really overloaded.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Overwhelming Evidence that Abdul El-Sayed Supports the Muslim Brotherhood
Q: There's going to be people to say, well, hold on a second. You just don't let them get on the committee. This is nothing you have to worry about. So why are you guys making a big deal out of it? That's how the media is going to talk about this. So let's debunk that right now. How do you get on these committees?
Cruz says party leaders decide committee assignments and that Chuck Schumer could place any Democratic senator on any committee.
The Overwhelming Evidence that Abdul El-Sayed Supports the Muslim Brotherhood
Q: If you become a United States Senator, there is not a mechanism, from what I understand, and I'm asking you, you're in the Senate, to say to someone, hey, you can't get classified information. If you're a Senator, you automatically get access to it, especially if you're on one of these committees as you described it. And if there is someone in the US. Senate that, again, heaven forbid, is an actual threat to our national security, the way that you're describing it with El-Sayed and its connections, how in the world did we get to a point where this could become a real reality?
Cruz says senators do not go through security clearance, and that election to the Senate grants access under law. He explains that party leaders assign committee seats and that the Democratic leader could place El-Sayed on the Intelligence Committee.
Piers Morgan’s Craziest Political Interview Yet—Ben Ferguson & Candidate Jaime '3 Beer' West
Q: When you said you would fire Republicans, did you mean elected officials or all Republican public employees?
West says she meant the politicians whose salaries taxpayers pay, not janitors, factory workers, or other public employees.
Piers Morgan’s Craziest Political Interview Yet—Ben Ferguson & Candidate Jaime '3 Beer' West
Q: How many beers did you have before the candidate forum?
West says she had three beers and says she was nervous, while maintaining she was not very intoxicated.
Barnstorming the Country—the Most Consequential Midterms of our Lifetimes
Q: What were you seeing on the campaign trail? And walk us through it.
Cruz describes rallies and campaign stops in Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alaska, Michigan, Iowa and Kansas. He reports varying levels of enthusiasm and repeatedly says the outcome depends on whether Republican voters turn out.
