    Why Did It Take Two Years? New FBI Records Shake Up Butler PA Assassination Plot

    In this episode, Ben Ferguson examines the latest FBI disclosures, reactions from Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel, Senator Mike Lee, and others demanding greater transparency about the investigation. He discusses the timeline leading up to the shooting, the security failures that allowed Crooks to gain a firing position, and the ongoing debate over why investigators still say they have not established a definitive motive. The episode also explores criticism of federal agencies, concerns about missing or delayed information, and the broader question of public trust in government institutions following one of the most significant security failures involving a presidential candidate in modern American history. In the second half of the show, Ferguson shifts to Texas politics, highlighting comments and past statements from Democratic politician James Talarico. The discussion focuses on Talarico's answers regarding drag performers, previous comments about gender and biological sex, and what Ferguson argues are efforts to moderate earlier positions as he pursues higher office. With new details continuing to emerge from the Butler investigation, Ferguson argues that the public is still far from getting a complete accounting of how the attack happened and why so many questions remain unanswered years later. More than two years after the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, newly released FBI records are shedding light on gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks while fueling fresh questions about what investigators knew and when they knew it. Newly disclosed documents reveal Crooks' use of aliases, including the name "Bob Dole," extensive firearms-related purchases, alleged acquisition of explosive materials, surveillance of the rally site, drone activity near the event, and other details that suggest significant planning before the attack. The records also include previously undisclosed information from interviews with Crooks' family, along with questions surrounding unidentified individuals connected to him and an anonymous donor who reportedly paid for his cremation.  Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Cruz responds to criticism of remarks he delivered at the Republican Midterm Convention, where he warned about what he calls a growing alliance between far-left activists and Islamist political movements. He also reacts to a CNN panel discussion that challenged his characterization of Islamism and examines why the issue continues to generate intense political controversy.  Topics Covered: Cruz’s response to criticism of his Republican Midterm Convention speech The distinction between Islam, Islamism, and political movements rooted in Sharia governance The legacy of 9/11 and ongoing debates about terrorism and extremism Allegations involving Abdul El-Sayed, religious leaders, and political allies Senate passage of a bipartisan college sports reform bill NIL rules, transfer portal reforms, athlete eligibility standards, and protections for women’s and Olympic sports Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

    Trump Targets Cartels as Cruz Targets Fairness in College Sports

    In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Show Podcast, Ben discusses the Trump administration’s intensified campaign against cartels, new fraud investigations targeting taxpayer-funded programs, and the Senate’s overwhelming bipartisan vote to advance the Protect College Sports Act. Cruz explains how the legislation would address NIL challenges, transfer portal rules, athlete eligibility, women’s sports protections, and enforcement standards designed to bring stability to college athletics. The Trump administration is expanding its use of foreign terrorist organization designations to target Mexican cartels, while the U.S. Senate advances one of the most significant college sports reform bills in decades. The developments could have major implications for border security, criminal prosecutions, athlete compensation, and the future of collegiate athletics. A Southern District of Texas prosecutor argues that federal law enforcement was previously limited in its ability to aggressively pursue cartel members and that President Trump’s foreign terrorist organization designation is now providing new tools to prosecute cartel operatives. The episode examines a recent cartel-related case and what federal officials say it signals about future enforcement efforts.  Topics Covered: Foreign terrorist organization designations for Mexican cartels The prosecution of alleged Gulf Cartel member Jose Flores Flores DOJ efforts to expand cartel-related criminal enforcement Senate passage of the Protect College Sports Act by a 74-24 vote NIL reforms, transfer portal restrictions, and athlete eligibility rules Federal fraud crackdowns involving daycare subsidies, pandemic loans, and healthcare programs Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
