  How Far Left Has the Democratic Party Gone? We Show you Democrat by Democrat 26.09.2026 27мин

  In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Show Podcast, Ferguson examines comments from figures including Troy Jackson, Chris Murphy, Abdul El-Sayed, Gabe Vasquez, William Lawrence, Jamie Ager, and Roy Cooper, while also discussing media coverage, polling ahead of the 2026 midterms, Republican fundraising advantages, and concerns over government expansion. He closes with a discussion of a Massachusetts proposal involving post-birth home visits for new parents, arguing that it raises questions about privacy, parental rights, and government oversight.  What would Democrats do if they regain power after the 2026 midterm elections? Ben argues that voters do not need to speculate because, in his view, Democratic candidates and elected officials are already telling the public exactly where they stand on policing, healthcare, taxation, immigration, and government authority. Throughout the episode, Ferguson plays a series of clips from Democratic politicians and candidates, highlighting statements on Medicare for All, defunding police departments, higher taxes on top earners, immigration policy, and criminal justice reform.

The controversy intensified after remarks suggesting that impeachment efforts could be directed not only at Trump, but also at key figures serving in his administration. Supporters view such oversight as a legitimate congressional tool, while critics argue it would represent a broader expansion of political and legal warfare.  Topics Covered: Comments from Democratic lawmakers on investigating and potentially impeaching cabinet secretaries The role of congressional oversight and impeachment powers Speaker Mike Johnson’s warning about the consequences of losing the midterms Concerns over political investigations, lawfare, and government weaponization Debate surrounding the Democratic Socialists of America platform The political stakes of the upcoming midterm elections Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

  Princeton the One-Party Campus, Super Kamala to the Rescue plus James Talarico's so called 'Church' Week In Review 26.09.2026 29мин

  In this episode of Week In Review Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss a study examining political donations by Princeton faculty, debate ideological diversity on college campuses, analyze comments from academics and university leaders, and connect those trends to contemporary Democratic politics. They also review Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate campaign, his previous support for the uncommitted movement during the 2024 presidential cycle, Kamala Harris’s appearance on the campaign trail, and the broader political fight over DEI, progressive activism, and messaging ahead of the midterm elections. The episode concludes with a discussion of Texas Democrat James Talarico, his public image as a moderate Christian, and criticism of views expressed by leaders associated with his longtime church community. A new study on political donations at Princeton University found that none of its full-time faculty contributed to Republican candidates during the 2023 and 2024 election cycles. Ted Cruz argues the findings reflect a broader ideological shift within higher education and what he describes as the growing influence of university culture on today’s Democratic Party. The conversation expands beyond academia to the 2026 Michigan Senate race, where Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed welcomed former Vice President Kamala Harris to campaign with him. Cruz and Ben Ferguson examine El-Sayed’s past support for Michigan’s “uncommitted” movement, the political implications of Harris’s involvement, and ongoing debates surrounding DEI policies and progressive political messaging.  Topics Covered: Princeton faculty political donation data and ideological diversity in higher education Commentary from Jonathan Turley on universities, free speech, and faculty hiring Yale, Harvard, and broader debates over political representation on college campuses Abdul El-Sayed, Kamala Harris, and Michigan’s 2026 Senate race The “uncommitted” movement and disagreements within Democratic coalition politics James Talarico, religion in politics, and controversy surrounding church leadership statements Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
