Don't miss
Ferguson alleges that a Hamas-linked political network is using mosque-based organizing to support Abdul El-Sayed and other candidates.
The brief
Ben Ferguson opens by arguing that Donald Trump’s control of the Republican Party is settled, but congressional Republicans still need a clearer, unified case before the fall election.
The first major dispute centers on Democratic rhetoric about America and Senator Chris Coons’s praise of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which Ferguson presents as a rejection of Trump-supporting Americans.
The episode then turns to ICE, with Ferguson defending agents against Democratic criticism and portraying immigration enforcement as focused on criminals, traffickers, and abusers.
Its sharpest allegation concerns a super PAC Ferguson links to Hamas-friendly CAIR, which he says claims credit for Abdul El-Sayed’s election and seeks to organize politically through mosques.
The episode closes by tying those disputes to a broader question: which political movement can define American leadership, security, and electoral purpose most effectively.
