Summary
On this edition of The Big Ben Show, host Ben Domenech breaks down AOC’s recent trip to the Munich Security Conference, where her lack of foreign policy experience was on full display. Despite a "red carpet" rollout by the media, her answers on Taiwan and Venezuela geography suggest she may not be the serious candidate the Democratic establishment is hoping for. Later, Fox News’ Bill Melugin joins the show in the studio to provide an inside look at the growing instability within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They discuss the future of Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, the shift in mass deportation tactics under Tom Homan, and the "drip-drip" of negative media stories impacting the administration's internal stability. Finally, Ben dives into the "Late Night Chaos" at CBS. Stephen Colbert is railing against his own network over an interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. Was it a Trump-led conspiracy or just a simple FCC "Equal Time" rule? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
