🕊️ 1. The “Trump Gaza Peace Deal” Narrative
The first two-thirds of the podcast revolve around a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, brokered by former President Donald Trump.
Ben describes this as a “historic peace deal” ending a two-year war in Gaza, involving multiple nations (Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc.), and resulting in the release of hostages and withdrawal of Israeli troops.
We repeatedly emphasizes that mainstream (“corporate”) media—including CNN anchors like Anderson Cooper and Abby Phillip—are praising Trump for achieving peace where previous presidents failed.
The tone is celebratory, nationalistic, and highly complimentary toward Trump, portraying him as a decisive leader whose “peace through strength” approach succeeded after others (notably Joe Biden) failed.
It references public celebrations, calls for Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and widespread international cooperation allegedly under his leadership.
⚖️ 2. Deep State and Political Retaliation
Claims that the FBI and DOJ under prior administrations (Biden/Jack Smith) illegally subpoenaed phone records of Republican senators.
Portrays the new FBI Director Kash Patel as a hero uncovering deep corruption and vowing transparency.

New York Attorney General Letitia James indicted for mortgage fraud
Commentary from CNN’s Jake Tapper and Adam Kinzinger is cited, though the content appears fabricated or heavily reimagined to fit the host’s framing.
The tone frames Trump as restoring justice and the “rule of law,” while “the deep state” and the political left are being exposed and punished.
