from The Ben Ferguson Podcast · host iHeartPodcasts

In this episode of the 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben discusses allegations surrounding the reported “Round River” intelligence operation, discuss claims of politically divided disinformation classifications, review questions raised about FBI and intelligence community activities, and analyze a closely watched Wisconsin Democratic primary that Ferguson argues offers lessons about polling, turnout, and the growing influence of the Democratic Socialist movement. A newly publicized report about an alleged FBI and intelligence community operation known as “Round River” has sparked questions about how public figures were categorized during investigations tied to Russian disinformation and the Biden family Ukraine controversy. Ben Ferguson examines reporting that claims government agencies maintained lists that labeled some political figures and media organizations as either “targets” or “conduits” of disinformation. He discusses the release of documents by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, questions surrounding the Foreign Influence Task Force, and statements attributed to FBI Director Kash Patel regarding ongoing reviews and investigations. The episode also shifts to Wisconsin, where a Democratic gubernatorial primary produced an unexpected result. Ferguson analyzes the defeat of a Democratic Socialist candidate who had been viewed by many as the frontrunner and explores what the outcome could mean for Democrats, Republicans, and voter turnout in one of the nation’s most important battleground states.  Topics Covered: Allegations surrounding the reported “Round River” counterintelligence operation Claims that public figures were categorized as “targets” or “conduits” of disinformation Questions about the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force and internal reviews Document releases by the White House Government Transparency Task Force Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary and the defeat of a Democratic Socialist candidate The role of polling, voter turnout, and battleground state politics ahead of future elections Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
