In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Show Podcast, Ben discusses the riots spreading across France, President Trump's warning about immigration and border security, the political response from French leadership, the tightening fight for control of Congress, and the issues Republicans believe will determine the outcome of the upcoming midterm elections.

Violent unrest across France has reignited a fierce political debate over immigration, national identity, public safety, and government leadership. As images of burning buildings, looted businesses, and clashes in major French cities spread around the world, President Donald Trump is pointing to the crisis as a warning about what can happen when a country loses control of its borders. The episode examines the ongoing turmoil in France, the response from French President Emmanuel Macron, and the broader argument over whether mass migration has contributed to the instability. Ben discusses the political implications of the unrest, the competing narratives surrounding the protests, and why the events have become part of a larger international conversation about immigration policy and national sovereignty. The conversation then shifts to the United States as President Trump returns to the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections. Cruz and Ferguson analyze how Republican candidates are positioning themselves, the importance of voter turnout, and why the battle for control of Congress could shape the remainder of Trump's agenda. They also examine the role of economic concerns, energy prices, border security, and national security in determining how voters may approach Election Day.

• Violent riots, looting, and unrest in Paris, Lyon, and other French cities
