Migrant Caravan Surges After Democrats Capture Congress
In this episode of the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson, Ben discusses reports of expanding migrant caravans in Mexico, reactions from U.S. and Mexican authorities, and claims that some migrants believe recent Democratic election victories could improve their chances of entering the United States.

As reports emerge of groups numbering in the thousands traveling north from Central America, questions are growing about whether changes in political power in Washington influence migration patterns and expectations about U.S. immigration policy. Topics Covered: Reports of migrant caravans traveling through southern Mexico toward the U.S. border Statements from migrants linking their journey to recent U.S. election results Comments from Homeland Security officials regarding asylum and border enforcement The role of Mexico in handling migrant flows and asylum claims Contrasting Republican and Democratic approaches to immigration policy The political impact of border security debates ahead of future elections Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

53 Days Left Rick Scott to GOP "Republicans Face a Do-or-Die Deadline"
In this episode of the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson, Ben examines the push by Rick Scott to keep Republicans in session and argue that speeches, press conferences, and political messaging are no substitute for legislative action. They discuss the urgency of confirming qualified judicial and executive nominees, advancing election integrity legislation, addressing government spending, strengthening military readiness, reforming energy permitting, securing the southern border, and confronting affordability challenges facing American families. The conversation centers on whether Republicans will use their final days in the majority to force votes, pass legislation, and demonstrate that they heard the message sent by voters. With just weeks remaining before Democrats take control of Congress, the debate is no longer about campaign promises. It is about whether Republicans will use their remaining time in power to deliver results, confirm nominees, and advance legislation before the window closes.The unanimous decision by Republicans to remain in Washington through the lame duck session has created a final opportunity to act. The question is whether congressional leaders will use that time to address judicial vacancies, staffing priorities, government funding, border security, energy policy, and the rising cost of living that voters consistently identified as a top concern. Topics Covered: Rick Scott's effort to keep Republicans in Washington through the lame duck session Confirming Donald Trump's judicial and executive branch nominees before control changes hands Election integrity proposals, including the Save America Act and voter identification requirements Government spending, funding deadlines, and calls for greater fiscal restraint Energy permitting reform, infrastructure development, and domestic energy production Border security, military readiness, and affordability concerns facing American households Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

It Begins: Dems Start Impeachment, Investigations & Full-scale Partisan War
In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss the political fallout from the midterm elections, the likelihood of impeachment proceedings against Pete Hegseth and other administration officials, the role Senate Democrats may play in extending investigations, concerns about potential targeting of private companies and Trump allies, and the possibility that Democrats could eliminate the Senate filibuster to advance major legislative priorities. Just days after Democrats’ sweeping midterm election victories, Senate Democrats and House leaders are signaling an aggressive oversight and impeachment agenda aimed at the Trump administration. Senator Ted Cruz argues that the focus has shifted away from campaign promises about affordability and the economy and toward investigations, subpoenas, and impeachment proceedings that could dominate Washington for the next two years. Cruz outlines why he believes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could become the first major target, examines the impeachment process for cabinet officials, and explains how Democrats could use hearings and investigations to challenge administration policies, particularly regarding Iran and national security. He also discusses the broader political strategy he believes is driving these efforts and why he expects President Trump, cabinet officials, administration staff, and even private-sector allies to face increased scrutiny. Topics Covered: Democrats’ post-election strategy and the shift toward investigations and impeachment Why Pete Hegseth could become the first impeachment target Potential impeachment efforts involving President Trump and other administration officials The Senate filibuster and whether Democrats could move to eliminate it Democratic proposals on election law, voting rules, and federal election oversight Congressional investigations involving major corporations, technology companies, and Trump allies Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The Road Back After a Historic Collapse
In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson break down the aftermath of the 2026 midterm elections, discuss the economic frustrations they believe fueled voter anger, analyze losses in states once considered safely Republican, and debate the long-term consequences of a dramatically expanded Democratic Senate majority. Cruz also outlines his view of where Republicans failed to connect with voters, why affordability and cost-of-living concerns dominated the election, and what he believes the party must do to rebuild support among blue-collar workers, young voters, rural communities, evangelical Christians, and Hispanic voters. The 2026 midterm election delivered a historic defeat for Republicans, flipping key Senate seats, turning statewide races blue, and dramatically reshaping the political landscape in Texas. Senator Ted Cruz argues that the results were driven less by turnout and more by voters who felt ignored on affordability, rising costs, and economic pressure at home. In this special Week in Review episode, Cruz offers an extended reaction to what he calls a generationally significant election, examining why Republicans lost ground in traditionally conservative states and what the results could mean for the Senate, Texas, and the country over the next six years. Topics Covered: The scale of the Republican losses in the 2026 midterm elections Why affordability, inflation, energy costs, and household expenses dominated voter concerns The long-term impact of losing multiple Senate seats with six-year terms Texas' statewide election results and the state's changing political landscape Republican challenges with blue-collar, rural, young, evangelical, and Hispanic voters Cruz's roadmap for rebuilding the conservative coalition and preparing for future elections Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
