1. Clemency Controversy Involving Joe Biden Sources allege that in his final days in office, former President Joe Biden issued mass clemency orders using an autopen (an automated signature device). These clemency orders reportedly affected ~2,500 inmates, and were described by the White House as targeting nonviolent drug offenders. However, internal DOJ emails (particularly from Bradley Weinsheimer, a senior DOJ official) suggest: The language in the clemency warrants was vague and legally flawed. Some recipients were violent offenders, contradicting the White House’s public narrative. DOJ officials were confused and sought clarification from Biden, which they reportedly did not receive. 2. Examples of Alleged Violent Offenders The episode names individuals like Rushell Macintosh, Stephen Fowler, and Plays Anderson, claiming they committed violent crimes and were among those granted clemency. 3. Criticism of Biden’s Use of Autopen Biden defended the use of the autopen, saying he approved broad categories and left staff to apply them. The DOJ emails suggest uncertainty and disagreement within the administration about the legality and clarity of the orders. 4. Political Implications and Allegations The podcast connects this clemency issue to broader political themes: Allegations of DOJ politicization. Claims that Democrats are losing voter registration battles in 30 states. Accusations that Democrats are considering gerrymandering, amnesty, and counting undocumented immigrants to regain political ground. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Crime Statistics and Political Manipulation in Washington, D.C. Main Claim: Former President Donald Trump accuses D.C. officials of deliberately manipulating crime statistics to make the city appear safer than it is. Supporting Details: A whistleblower (a former MPD sergeant) alleged that police leadership downgraded serious crimes to lesser offenses. The city settled her lawsuit quietly, which is presented as evidence of wrongdoing. Media outlets like The New York Times, Washington Post, and Politico are criticized for ignoring this whistleblower and presenting a narrative that crime is low. A poll cited from The Washington Post shows that 91% of D.C. residents believe crime is a problem, with Black and lower-income residents expressing the most concern. The commentary suggests that Democrats are resisting Trump’s crime crackdown to maintain control over urban areas. 2. Allegations of Political Bias by Google Main Claim: Google is accused of suppressing Republican fundraising emails by marking them as spam, while allowing Democratic emails to pass through. Supporting Details: A consulting firm, Targeted Victory, conducted tests showing Gmail flagged GOP emails with WinRed links but not Democratic ones with ActBlue links. A 2022 study from NC State University is cited, claiming Gmail flagged 59% more Republican emails as spam than Democratic ones. The memo from Targeted Victory warns that this behavior could unfairly influence elections by hindering Republican fundraising. Google denies wrongdoing, stating its filters apply equally to all senders and are based on user behavior. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

🛂 Immigration Enforcement Expansion The first half of the document discusses recent agreements between ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and three states—West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas—to expand immigration enforcement under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Key points include: West Virginia: Governor Patrick Morrisey initiated collaboration involving state police, corrections, and the National Guard. Officers are empowered to interrogate, arrest, and detain suspected undocumented immigrants. South Dakota: Governor's “Operation Prairie Thunder” involves highway patrol, National Guard, and corrections staff in supporting ICE operations. Arkansas: Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed the “Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act,” increasing penalties for undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes and enabling state police to inquire about immigration status in public. The tone is supportive of these measures and critical of Democratic opposition, portraying the expansion as a return to “law and order.” 🖋️ Autopen and Presidential Competence The second half shifts to a discussion about the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the alleged cognitive decline of former President Joe Biden and the use of the autopen (a device that signs documents on behalf of someone). Highlights include: Allegations that Biden was not present or competent during the signing of key legislation. Commentary from Newt Gingrich and Mark Levin questioning the legality and ethics of autopen use. Claims that Biden was “incompetent” by 2023 and that Dr. Jill Biden may have acted as a de facto president.

1. Designation of Drug Cartels as Terrorist Organizations The Trump administration designated several Latin American drug cartels (e.g., Sinaloa Cartel, MS-13, CJNG) as foreign terrorist organizations.

Mexico responded by extraditing 26 cartel leaders to the U.S., including Gonzales Vallecina, accused of killing a U.S. sheriff deputy. 2. Border Security and Immigration Enforcement The narrative emphasizes Trump’s commitment to border security and combating drug trafficking. A hiring campaign for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is highlighted, with over 100,000 applications received.

Texas Democrats' Return Fled to avoid redistricting legislation. Faced legal pressure: potential arrest, fines, and threats of office vacancy. Ultimately returned, allowing the redistricting bill to proceed. Redistricting & Gerrymandering Cruz and Ferguson claim Democratic states like California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts are far more aggressive in gerrymandering than Republican states. They cite statistics showing disproportionate representation in Congress compared to actual vote percentages. Historical Context Cruz recounts his experience as Texas Solicitor General during a similar 2003 redistricting standoff. Legal precedent allows for forcible return of lawmakers to establish quorum. Criticism of Democratic Leaders Governors of Democrat-led states are accused of hypocrisy for criticizing Texas while benefiting from gerrymandered maps. Audio clips and quotes from figures like Governor Pritzker (IL) and Governor Hochul (NY) are used to highlight perceived contradictions. Beto O’Rourke’s Remarks A clip of Beto O’Rourke is played where he advocates for aggressive Democratic redistricting, which Cruz interprets as a call for partisan power grabs. Broader Political Commentary The hosts argue that Democrats are losing favor nationally due to unpopular policies and power-driven tactics.

1. Federal Control of D.C. Police Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act to place the D.C. police under federal control.

Presidential Action: Trump declares a "Liberation Day" for D.C., citing rising crime and lawlessness. He invokes federal authority to override local control of law enforcement.

Lawfare as Political Weaponry The central claim is that the legal system is being used not for justice, but as a tool to intimidate, discredit, and financially ruin conservatives. It’s described as both a legal and psychological tactic to deter conservatives from running for office or supporting Trump. Alleged Donor Influence Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn co-founder) is accused of funding lawsuits against Trump, including E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case. George Soros is portrayed as a central figure funding progressive prosecutors and organizations to reshape the justice system. The Sandler Foundation and Arabella Advisors are also named as part of a “dark money” network funding leftist causes. Media and Legal Institutions Outlets like ProPublica are accused of conducting smear campaigns against conservative Supreme Court justices. Legal organizations like CREW and Project 65 are described as targeting Trump’s legal defenders to disbar or discredit them. Big Law Firms Several prominent law firms are listed as part of a coordinated effort to sue the Trump administration and support anti-Trump litigation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Trump-Putin Summit on Ukraine War Former President Donald Trump has announced a major summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, scheduled for August 15th in Alaska. The summit's goal is to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, with Trump hinting at possible territorial swaps. This would be the first U.S.-hosted summit with a Russian leader since 1988, and the first Trump-Putin face-to-face since 2019. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concern, emphasizing that Ukraine must be part of any peace deal and rejecting any territorial concessions. NATO and EU leaders also insist on Ukraine’s inclusion and oppose forced territorial changes. The White House has not ruled out a trilateral summit including Zelensky, but no formal invitation has been extended yet. Trump had previously set an August 8th deadline for Putin to agree to a ceasefire or face sanctions, which was not met. The meeting is portrayed as a legacy-defining moment for Trump, testing his ability to broker peace. FBI Shakeup and Accountability Cash Patel, reportedly now FBI Director, is said to be “cleaning house” at the FBI, removing officials involved in politically charged investigations. Dan Bongino, Deputy Director, and Patel emphasize defending FBI employees who acted appropriately. Brian Driscoll and Walter Giordina, involved in investigations against Trump allies, were among those forced out. The narrative suggests these removals are part of a broader effort to address politicization and corruption within the FBI. Miranda Devine, a Fox News contributor, supports the changes, citing long-standing scandals and political bias. Pam Bondi, Attorney General, has appointed Ed Martin as a special prosecutor to investigate Adam Schiff and Letitia James for alleged fraud. Grand juries are reportedly convened in Maryland and Virginia, with potential charges carrying up to 30 years in prison. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Donald Trump's Tariff Policies Ben strongly supports former President Donald Trump's use of tariffs to protect American industries and jobs. It argues that media predictions of economic doom due to tariffs were incorrect. Specific examples include tariffs on China, India (due to Russian oil purchases), pharmaceuticals, and other countries. The commentary claims these tariffs have led to increased revenue and a more level playing field in global trade. Criticism of the Media and Political Opponents The media is accused of spreading false narratives about the negative effects of tariffs. The Biden administration is criticized for its handling of trade and border security. Democrats are portrayed as power-hungry and aligned with Marxist or socialist ideologies. Promotion of Mark Levin’s Book “On Power” A significant portion of the text is an interview or discussion with conservative commentator Mark Levin. The book is described as a defense of liberty against the abuse of power by government and ideological movements like Marxism and Islamism. Levin emphasizes the importance of understanding and teaching the principles of American founding values. Border Security and Immigration Ben praises Trump’s border policies, claiming record-low apprehensions and increased safety. It contrasts current border enforcement with the Biden administration’s approach, which is described as lax and dangerous.

Investigation into Jack Smith: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has reportedly opened an investigation into former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Allegations suggest Smith may have violated the Hatch Act by politically targeting Trump during the 2024 election cycle. The investigation is administrative, not criminal, but could result in sanctions. Whistleblower Claims on the Russia Investigation: A whistleblower alleges they were pressured to support the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that claimed Russia favored Trump in the 2016 election. The whistleblower claims the intelligence was manipulated and that dissent was suppressed. Tulsi Gabbard is cited as supporting the whistleblower and calling for accountability. Executive Order on Political Debanking: The White House is reportedly preparing an executive order to penalize banks for closing accounts based on political beliefs. The order would direct regulators to investigate potential violations of credit and consumer protection laws. This move is framed as a response to alleged discrimination against conservatives, gun rights groups, and religious organizations. Trump’s Crypto Legislation: Trump is said to have signed a major crypto bill into law, aiming to boost U.S. competitiveness against China. The bill is positioned as part of a broader strategy to protect financial freedom and reduce reliance on traditional banking institutions. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Criticism of Jake Tapper and the Media The Ben and the Senator strongly criticize CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios's Alex Thompson for their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. They accuse Tapper and mainstream media of knowingly covering up President Biden’s cognitive decline for years. The book is portrayed as hypocritical, with Tapper allegedly profiting from a situation he helped conceal. 2. American Bar Association (ABA) and Judicial Nominees The Trump Justice Department’s decision to remove the ABA from its formal role in vetting judicial nominees is discussed. The ABA is described as a biased, left-wing advocacy group. Examples are given of highly qualified conservative judges being rated “not qualified” by the ABA. The hosts celebrate the move as a win for conservative judicial transparency. 3. Kamala Harris’s Book and Media Appearances Harris’s book 107 Days is mocked as lacking authenticity and reflection. Her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is criticized for being scripted and evasive. Her comments on democracy, the Supreme Court, and the Department of Education are portrayed as incoherent and ideologically driven. 4. Democratic Party Leadership and Direction Kamala Harris’s inability to name a clear leader of the Democratic Party is used to argue that the party is “rudderless.” The hosts claim the party is dominated by its far-left wing, including figures like AOC and Ilhan Omar.

🕵️‍♂️ Whistleblower Claims A whistleblower from the Obama-era intelligence community alleges they were pressured and silenced when they tried to challenge the narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. The whistleblower claims: Intelligence assessments were manipulated. Critical context was omitted from the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). There was pressure to align with a predetermined narrative favoring claims of Russian interference. Other foreign influences were ignored. Tulsi Gabbard is cited as having shared and supported the whistleblower’s claims on social media. The hosts argue this supports the idea that the “Russia hoax” was a politically motivated effort to undermine Donald Trump. 📚 Kamala Harris Critique The episode also critiques Kamala Harris’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote her new book, 107 Days. The hosts mock: Her explanation for not running for governor of California. Her comments on democracy, the Supreme Court, and the Department of Education. Her perceived lack of leadership and clarity about who leads the Democratic Party. They argue that Harris and the Democratic Party are out of touch with voters and dismissive of democratic outcomes they disagree with. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
