We actually think that we are seeing signs that the Straits are starting to reopen. I think you guys have probably seen oil prices have come down. So I think the oil markets, the gas markets are seeing the same thing. I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn't. We never made that promise. We never indicated that was going to be the case. And then yes, you have some crazy people at the fringes of the Iranian system who are leaking anonymously either for propaganda purposes or because they're embarrassing or because they don't like what happened.
Ben Ferguson
You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Good Thursday morning. Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update. And we've got one big story for you this morning. Democrats are now saying exactly what they're going to do if they regain control of the House and the Senate. They're now saying if you give them power, not only are they going to impeach and run Donald Trump out of office, but they're also going to impeach the vice president, J.D. vance. So who would be in charge? Because they also say they want to target the speaker of the House. I've got all the details. It's a 47 morning update and it starts right now.
Story number one, if you want to
know what Democrats are going to do if they get control of the House and the Senate, well, they're now literally campaigning off of their agenda items and that is to impeach and remove not just President Donald Trump, but Also Vice President J.D. vance, even if it means rigging the US Senate's 250 year old impeachment process. How do we know that? Well, a far left Democrat, a guy by the name of George Conway, has explained it all in a new interview. And here is what he said.
George Conway
And I do think we're going to have also a Democratic Senate. And I don't know whether it'll be 52, 53, 54, maybe even more. And that when you have control of the Senate in that way, you can set the rules. And the rules this time should provide for a real trial, not these show arguments, these statements on the floor by managers where they're just politicians giving speeches, but where you put on live witnesses and you can show that they're lying and you can show how they're being. And they have to answer the questions, and the Chief justice of the United States will direct them to answer questions. A trial, a real trial, that's what the framers of the Constitution meant. And that will be, I think, an education for the American people who will be suffering from all of the deleterious effects of Trump's chaotic policies and his psychotic policies. Frankly, he's now just out of his mind. And at that point, you know, the trial will show people that this is not the way government is supposed to operate. This is corrupt. Buying, you know, a good trial presentation is going to basically, I think, flip enough. Republicans who will be exhausted by this and who want to rescue their party
Host
if it can be rescued, give them JD Vance.
George Conway
But JD Vance. But look, I mean, JD Vance is, you know, subject to impeachable offense. He may be impeached, too, and removed. That's, that's also possible. But also it will have, even if he is not, it will have a killing or a, an effect on everybody else who comes after that. You know, we can't, you can't do this. You have to obey the law, you have to obey the Constitution, you have to obey your duties and your oath.
Ben Ferguson
Now, let's go back to just the words you heard there. One of the things he said was a good trial presentation is going to basically, I think, flip enough Republicans who will be exhausted by this and who will want to rescue their party. In other words, he's looking for the neocons, he's looking for the Rhinos, Republicans in name only. And then he added this. JD Vance is subject to impeachable offenses. He may be impeached, too, and removed. That's also possible. This is now the Democratic Party's playbook. And after admitting that they would violate the 250 year constitutional norm of the impeachment process, the Democratic Party is literally saying, and we need to reassert those norms that we used to accept and take for granted. And if we don't do that, there's no one else to do it. If Congress can't do it, nobody can. Now, this is the playbook for the Democratic Party of the midterm elections. If they gain the House, the Senate, they're saying, to hell with the Constitution, to hell with America. We are going to go after and throw out of office every person we don't like. We're gonna go after The President, we're gonna go after the Vice President and we'll go after anybody else that we can now understand. This is the reason why you should believe this is because this is all a piece of the Never Trump Plan in general. Remember, the Never Trump Plan has been to bankrupt President Trump, bankrupt his family members, overturn Trump's election. That doesn't work. Then we jail Donald Trump. Don't forget he's got a mug shot. And then jail the Trump family as well. And then we act like we're just going to go back to normal life. No, this is the Democratic Party now. This is the new norm. Now, when all of that didn't work, what came next? Assassinate the President of the United States of America. They tried that as well. Never forget, the President was in fact shot in the ear. And if he wouldn't have turned his head, by the grace of God, unfortunately, we would probably be without Donald Trump right now. And that's the Democrats whole plan and goal. The only way to save the norms is to burn all the norms to the ground. Is also what the Democratic Party is saying, meaning we don't respect this country. We don't respect the laws this country. We sure as hell don't respect the Constitution. We don't respect the Founding Fathers, we don't respect the court system, we don't respect the, the Supreme Court. We delegitimize all of it. Now, you may say, all right, Conway's a political guy that's been out there for a long time and, and he's kind of a. We know he's a lefty, we know he hates Trump. He's got Trump derangement syndrome. Surely he can't be speaking on behalf of like, Democratic candidates. Well, let me just remind you, Conway is now running for the United States Congress to replace re retiring Representative Jerry Nadler in New York's 12th congressional district, which is kind of perfect if you think about it. Conway would be the perfect replacement for Democrats. Both he and Nadler are old mother ugly, they're fat, they're homely, they're leftists, they're authoritarians and they both walk funny. You can't make it up. Conway, by the way, is an individual here who is behind in the polls. He's got some other crazies. He's got to run behind as well. And some of those are just really creepy individuals. I'll save that for another show. But what I do want you to understand about what George Conway is saying here and what is very real is the Democrats that are on the ballot. This is what they are running on. This is the same party that already spied on the American people. We know in fact now, and this coming from the Blaze media, that the government funded a weapon to fight terrorism. And instead, do you want to know what happened? They used it on the Blaze, a conservative news site, an agency established by Barack Obama backed companies that took steps to limit America's speech. And it didn't take long for a federal government agency originally designed to censor certain foreign entities and curate their narratives on terrorism to literally be turned on Americans. Now, this goes back to President Barack Obama. He issued an executive order all the way back in 2011 establishing the center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications within the State Department. That doesn't sound threatening to any of us, right? Well, you'd be wrong. They weaponized this exact agency and this strategic counterterrorism communication against conservatives. Now, the agency was initially tasked with, quote, using communication tools to reduce radicalization by terrorists and extremist violence and terrorism that threatened the interests and national security of the United States, quote, unquote. Obama then broadened the mission of the agency and renamed it the Global Engagement center in another executive order just months prior to Donald Trump's election victory in 16. Now, the global Engagement center, overseen by a steering committee of Deep State officials, codified into law in the 2017 National Defense Authorization act and afforded both grant making authority and the ability to, quote, leverage expertise from outside the federal government, eventually became, as one former intelligence source said, an incubator for the domestic disinformation complex, quote, unquote. Well, in the final days of the first Trump presidency, we're now learning that the Deep State and its censorship contractors, desperate to control the narrative about the 2020 presidential election and the COVID 19 virus, turned this disinformation complex on conservative site Blaze Media. And a, quote, proof of concept test is what they claimed it was, according to the discovery evidence gleaned by the Federalists in a now settled case against the government. The Global Engagement center backed a trial targeting Blaze Media and the free speech in its platforms, despite concerns at the State Department about possibly censoring an American company with an American audience in contradiction of the agency's foreign focus mandate. It didn't matter. The Global Engagement center, which Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged actively silenced and censored the voices of Americans that were supposed to be serving, was nominally closed in January of 2025, then effectively killed by the Trump administration last April under its final name, the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation Interference Hub now, two years prior to the agency's demise, the Federalists and several other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the Global Engagement center and the State Department. You may be asking yourself, why have I never heard about this? Because the media didn't want you to know about it. The lawsuit accused the government of actively intervening in the news media market throughout the Global Engagement center to render disfavored press outlets unprofitable by funding the infrastructure development and marketing and promotion of censorship technology and private censorship enterprises to covertly suppress speech of a segment of the American press. Well, guess exactly what press that was. It was conservative media. So if you think the Democrats in this midterm election are not gonna turn this agency right back on to silence and censor conservatives, you're insane. And if you think the Democratic Party isn't gonna go AWOL and destroy America's Constitution right away if they get power, you're also wrong. They want to get rid of Trump and the Vice Presidency and anyone else that stands in their way. And and now they're saying it openly in interviews for everyone to see.

Episode Title: Voters Warning: Dems Signal Impeachment Blitz—Trump, Vance & the Constitution
Date: April 9, 2026
Host: Ben Ferguson
Produced by: Premiere Networks
In this episode, Ben Ferguson delivers an urgent analysis on the Democratic Party’s stated intentions should they regain control of the House and Senate after the upcoming midterms. The focus is sharply on impeachment threats targeting President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and potentially even the Speaker of the House. Ferguson cites recent comments from George Conway, a prominent Democratic figure now running for Congress, illustrating a political strategy that, according to Ferguson, seeks to overturn long-standing constitutional norms in pursuit of political gain.

George Conway (Democrat/Candidate):
"A good trial presentation is going to basically...flip enough Republicans who will be exhausted by this and who will want to rescue their party." (05:40)
"JD Vance is subject to impeachable offense. He may be impeached, too, and removed. That's also possible." (05:51)

And now they're saying it openly in interviews for everyone to see.” (14:24)
Ben Ferguson on the Democrats’ strategy:
“The only way to save the norms is to burn all the norms to the ground. Is also what the Democratic Party is saying, meaning we don't respect this country. We don't respect the laws of this country. We sure as hell don't respect the Constitution.” (08:00)

"Conway would be the perfect replacement for Democrats. Both he and Nadler are old mother ugly, they're fat, they're homely, they're leftists, they're authoritarians and they both walk funny. You can't make it up." (07:40)
This episode sets the stage for the upcoming midterms by providing Ferguson’s perspective on recent Democratic rhetoric concerning impeachment, the perceived threat to constitutional norms, and the alleged ongoing censorship of conservative voices. The episode is highly charged, aiming to mobilize conservative listeners and warn them of what Ferguson frames as unprecedented political and legal overreach by Democrats.
For listeners interested in the intersection of politics, media, and governance, this episode offers a concentrated dose of conservative commentary and a preview of the arguments likely to shape the 2026 campaign season.
