    • The speaker references conversations with members of Congress and provides real-time updates on the bill’s status.
    • There is criticism of the media and Democratic opposition, with a strong defense of the bill’s fiscal and economic goals.
  3. Key Figures Quoted:

    • Caroline Levitt (White House Press Secretary) defends the bill’s economic impact and tax cuts.
    • Senator Tommy Tuberville (referred to as “Turber Bill”) compares the bill to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, emphasizing tax cuts and agency reforms.
    • Senator Ron Johnson and Senator Rick Scott also defend the bill, focusing on spending cuts, Medicaid reform, and economic growth.
  4. ICE Tracking App Controversy:

    • The latter part of the transcript shifts to a critique of CNN for covering an app called “ICE Block,” which alerts users to ICE agent locations.

Welcome, it is the Ben Ferguson show.

0:07.4

It is nice to have you with us.

0:08.8

I was planning on being on family vacation and just taking some time off for the next week.

0:15.2

But with so many things happening in the world, we're deciding we're not going to be doing that.

0:19.8

So what we're going to be doing instead is I'm going to be doing a hybrid with this show and the 47 morning update. It's that show

0:26.5

that I do every morning that's about 10 to 12 minutes long, three biggest stories of the day coming

0:31.3

out of the White House or that affect the White House. So for the next few days, that is what

Well, that bill I'm talking about is your cell phone bill. And I've been telling you for a long time

1:26.8

about Patriot Mobile, but there's no

1:28.6

better time to switch than right now. Not only does Patriot Mobile operate on all three major

1:34.7

networks in this country. Yeah, all three. That means you get the same great coverage you're used to

1:38.9
