Deflect, Deny, Repeat plus ‘Green’ Programs Face Axe
The Ben Ferguson Show delivers a blistering critique of progressive institutions and policies, accusing the Democratic Party of systemic corruption and moral failure. At the heart of the episode is a damning account of ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform, whose CEO repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a congressional hearing, refusing to answer questions about alleged foreign donations—despite Democrats' past obsession with foreign interference in elections. The episode escalates with revelations about the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which the U.S. Department of Justice alleges secretly funded the KKK and Nazi groups through paid informants, even approving expense reports for cross-burnings. The show then turns to the Biden administration's catastrophic failure to protect unaccompanied minors, with over 300,000 children lost to trafficking and sex slavery due to lax vetting and no follow-up checks. The Trump administration's efforts to recover 146,000 of them are praised as a moral imperative. Finally, the episode exposes the dismantling of the Green New Deal's funding, with the Department of the Interior cutting $4 million in grants to left-wing groups deemed to be working against national priorities—highlighting a pattern of taxpayer-funded activism that benefits Democratic allies.
ActBlue’s CEO invoked the Fifth Amendment 15+ times during a congressional hearing, refusing to answer questions about foreign donations despite Democrats’ past obsession with Russian interference.
The Southern Poverty Law Center allegedly paid over $4.1 million to KKK and Nazi informants, including approving expense reports for cross-burnings and offering $1,200 monthly salaries to active members.
Over 300,000 unaccompanied minors were lost under the Biden administration due to unvetted sponsor handoffs, with many subjected to sex trafficking and forced labor.
The Trump administration has recovered 146,000 missing children and is actively investigating reports of some being raped 600–700 times.
The Department of the Interior terminated 43 partnerships with left-wing groups, cutting $4 million in funding to organizations that opposed Trump policies, including those promoting DEI and environmental justice.
