## Resource

In this edition of The Big Ben Show, Ben Domenech dives into the persistence of fraud in federal and state welfare systems. Ben is joined by former Trump advisor Theo Wold to discuss the consequences for Democrats following the Supreme Court's VRA decision and the looming redistricting wars. Later, 4-time Emmy award-winning journalist turned Senate candidate Michele Tafoya joins the show to discuss her campaign in Minnesota, the controversy surrounding biological males in women’s sports, and her stance on recent military action in Iran. Finally, Ben closes with a reflection on how modern technology is killing the “DIY” spirit of the American auto industry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
