Lindsey Graham Demands Special Counsel, Obama Phone is BACK as a Scandal & NYT Forced to Retract Gaza Starvation Photo

from The Ben Ferguson Podcast · host iHeartPodcasts

1. Lindsey Graham on Russian Interference and Obama Senator Lindsey Graham appears on Meet the Press expressing anger over alleged media misinformation and the Obama administration’s handling of Russian interference in the 2016 election. He suggests new evidence has emerged, possibly warranting a special counsel investigation. Graham criticizes the media (e.g., Washington Post, New York Times, NBC) for their role in promoting the Russia-Trump collusion narrative. He clarifies he is not accusing Obama of treason but calls for an investigation into the origins of the intelligence narrative. 2. Obama Phone Program and Fraud The segment revisits the "Obama phone" program, originally part of the Lifeline initiative to provide phones to low-income individuals. It highlights a recent case where a Florida CEO, Isa Asad, was sentenced to prison and fined $128 million for defrauding the program. The host uses this to argue that the program was a form of vote-buying and rife with corruption. 3. Media Misrepresentation of Gaza Crisis Ben criticizes The New York Times for publishing a photo of a malnourished Palestinian child, claiming it was misleading. The child reportedly had a pre-existing medical condition, and the photo was used to suggest Israel was starving Gaza civilians. Ben accuses the media of spreading anti-Semitic propaganda and failing to correct the narrative transparently. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
