About this episode
Ben Domenech dives into America’s political and cultural chaos in this episode of The Big Ben Show. He opens with a sharp look at the Democratic Party’s growing internal divide and how progressive elites have lost touch with working-class voters.
Next, journalist Ethan Strauss joins to unpack the FBI’s explosive NBA gambling investigation, revealing insider betting, mob ties, and why legalized sports betting may be eroding trust in the game. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares discusses how his race has become a referendum on decency and what rising crime and weak prosecution mean for voters.
Finally, Ben breaks down Taylor Sheridan’s move from Paramount to NBC, exploring what it says about the power of creators in today’s streaming wars.
