In this episode of the 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben examines research claiming that spam filtering by major email providers affected Republican fundraising through WinRed, reviews responses from technology companies disputing those conclusions, and discusses what the debate could mean for future political campaigns. He also analyzes new polling data on rural voters, highlighting concerns about affordability, healthcare costs, immigration, government fraud, and energy prices, while exploring how economic issues may shape voter behavior in key midterm races. A new study estimates that Republican fundraising efforts may have lost millions of dollars after political emails were allegedly filtered into spam folders by major email providers. The findings have reignited debate over Big Tech's role in political communication, campaign fundraising, and whether digital platforms are applying their policies fairly during election cycles. At the same time, new polling suggests that economic concerns continue to dominate voter priorities heading into the midterm elections.

Trump & Vance Plot Senate SAVE Act Showdown plus Big Tech Cost GOP Millions in Fundraising
In this episode of the 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben examines the political battle surrounding the SAVE Act, the challenges of passing election-integrity legislation in the Senate, and the growing dispute over whether Republican opposition could ultimately determine the bill’s fate.

Massive Bipartisan WIN to Save College Sports
In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson sit down with Senator Eric Schmidt to discuss the years-long effort behind the Protect College Sports Act, the bipartisan coalition that helped secure 77 Senate votes, and why they believe congressional action is necessary to preserve college athletics. They explain how federal antitrust decisions contributed to the current environment, why many athletic departments are under financial strain, and what supporters believe is at stake for student-athletes, universities, and fans. The conversation also includes a lighter discussion about college sports, the Congressional Baseball Game, and the role athletics play in building discipline, leadership, and opportunities for young people. The Senate has passed the Protect College Sports Act with overwhelming bipartisan support, marking a major step toward reshaping the future of college athletics. Supporters argue the legislation addresses growing concerns around the transfer portal, athlete eligibility, escalating spending, and the long-term viability of college sports programs across the country. What happens next could determine whether the current college sports model survives or continues moving toward a system dominated by a small number of powerhouse programs. With the bill now headed to the House, the debate turns to whether lawmakers will act quickly and send it to the president's desk. Topics Covered: Senate passage of the Protect College Sports Act Bipartisan negotiations that produced a 77-vote coalition Transfer portal rules, athlete eligibility, and NIL-related challenges Financial pressures facing athletic departments and non-revenue sports Concerns about consolidation of college football into a small number of elite programs Congressional Baseball Game stories featuring Senator Eric Schmidt Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The Fraud Epidemic: Trump's DOJ Targets Billions in Stolen Tax Dollars
In this episode of the 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben examines the Southern California daycare fraud case, the Justice Department's broader enforcement efforts, and what these investigations reveal about alleged abuse of taxpayer-funded programs. He discusses recent actions involving pandemic loan fraud, health care fraud prosecutions, efforts to recover lost funds, and the administration's stated goal of making fraud enforcement a government-wide priority. A federal crackdown in Southern California has led to charges against 12 individuals accused of fraudulently collecting more than $10 million in taxpayer-funded child care subsidies. Federal prosecutors allege that licensed home daycare operators submitted false attendance records, claimed payments for services never provided, and collected funds intended to help low-income families access child care. The case highlights a broader push by the Trump administration and the Department of Justice to target fraud across multiple government programs, from child care subsidies to pandemic-era relief loans and health care reimbursements. Investigators say they used surveillance, travel records, bank data, and other evidence to test whether taxpayer-funded services were actually being delivered.
