AG Nominee Jay Jones faces Backlash over 'Fantasies' plus U.S. Navy’s 250th Anniversary & Economic Analysis w Dr. Kirk Elliott
Podcast: The Ben Ferguson PodcastPublished On: Mon Oct 06 2025
Description: 1. Virginia Democratic Candidate Controversy The first half focuses heavily on Virginia Attorney General hopeful Jay Jones, a Democrat accused of sending violent text messages in 2022. Jones allegedly fantasized about a Republican lawmaker, Todd Gilbert, and his family being killed. Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) is said to have condemned the comments, calling them disqualifying and immoral. The segment uses the incident to make a broader claim about the Democratic Party, arguing that violence, hate, and “fascist” rhetoric are now “mainstream” among Democrats. The tone is emotionally charged, moralizing, and accusatory — the speaker portrays the story as evidence of moral decay and hypocrisy within the Democratic Party. 2. Celebration of the U.S. Navy’s 250th Anniversary The next section transitions sharply to a pro-Trump and pro-military tone, recounting speeches given at a U.S. Navy anniversary event in Norfolk, Virginia. War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump are praised for speeches emphasizing “America First,” “peace through strength,” and rejection of “woke DEI culture.” The narrative contrasts “unity of purpose” against diversity as strength, portraying the former as a patriotic value and the latter as liberal weakness. The tone is admiring and celebratory, depicting Hegseth and Trump as patriotic leaders defending traditional military values. 3. Economic Commentary and Precious Metals Promotion The final section transitions into an economic discussion with analyst Kirk Elliott of “Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.” The conversation ties economic uncertainty and potential government shutdowns to opportunities in gold and silver investing. Trump’s economic policies and government spending cuts are praised as strengthening the economy. Elliott promotes investment in precious metals as a hedge against “turbulence,” emphasizing rising gold and silver prices. The dialogue functions as a mix of economic analysis, political advocacy, and commercial promotion. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
