## Resource

On this edition of The Big Ben Show, Ben Domenech dives into the circumstances facing the GOP as internal polling shows the Senate flipping and House Republicans losing the plot on the economy. Ben is joined by Elise Stefanik to discuss her new book, "Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot of America's Elite Universities,” and the moral rot she witnessed during the historic hearings on campus antisemitism. Later, Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan breaks down the friction between Donald Trump and the Pope, the failed Iran negotiations in Islamabad, and the fallout from the Eric Swalwell resignation scandal.
