Don't Ignore them the Socialists are Here plus SAVE Act Keeps Winning. Congress Keeps Stalling

In this episode of the Ben Ferguson podcast we analyze Wisconsin's gubernatorial primary upset, debate what it reveals about socialist influence within the Democratic Party, examine new polling on the SAVE Act and voter citizenship requirements, discuss Michigan primary battles that highlight tensions between party leadership and Democratic Socialists, and review the latest developments involving Iran and the Trump administration's pressure campaign. A closely watched Democratic primary in Wisconsin delivered an upset that could shape the political conversation heading into the midterms. A Democratic Socialist candidate widely viewed as the favorite lost a statewide primary, raising questions about voter enthusiasm, polling accuracy, and whether progressive activists have reached their limits in key battleground states. At the same time, new polling shows strong public support for the SAVE Act, legislation requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections. According to the survey discussed in this episode, support remains high despite months of political attacks on the proposal. The episode also examines growing concerns among Democrats after several high-profile primary results in Michigan, where candidates backed by Democratic Socialist activists defeated establishment-favored opponents despite massive spending against them. Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson argue these races reveal a larger ideological struggle inside the Democratic Party. Finally, the conversation turns to Iran, with reports that a senior adviser tied to Iran's Revolutionary Guard suggested Tehran could seek to outlast the Trump administration in an extended confrontation with the United States. The hosts discuss escalating pressure on Iran, economic sanctions, and new reporting regarding threats against President Trump.   Topics Covered: Wisconsin Democratic primary and the defeat of a Democratic Socialist candidate Polling support for the SAVE Act and proof-of-citizenship voter registration requirements Michigan Senate primary and the victory of Abdul El-Sayed over establishment-backed candidates Growing influence of Democratic Socialists in Democratic Party primaries Iran's strategy toward the United States and the Trump administration Reports involving threats against President Trump and U.S. pressure on Tehran Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
