18 NOV. 2024 · On this episode of Ford News. Johnathan and Brian deeply dive into some of the nominees that may lead some of the most important governmental agencies in the Trump administration. Between Hegseth, Gaetz, Kennedy, and Gabbard there are some real "winners."
In segment two, the guys bring up the multiple sexual assault allegations against three of the Trump nominees. Does it surprise anyone that Donald Trump would nominate folks with checkered past?
The "Ford Fact Check" focuses on RFK Jr's long history of declaring that vaccines are harmful.

11 NOV. 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian react to Vice President Kamala Harris's loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Johnathan lays out the hows and whys of Kamala's election loss. While some odd things did happen, like voters checking the boxes for all Dems, except for Harris on their ballot, the guys don't want to hear from conspiracy theorists and advise Dems not to fall down the "Stop the Steal" rabbit hole.
In Segment Two, Johnathan addresses the multiple legal cases in which President-Elect Donald Trump is involved. What will happen to those cases? We're pretty sure the federal cases brought by Jack Smith will go away, but the state cases may be a different story.
The "Ford Fact Check" is back in Segment Three. This week Johnathan is fact-checking the multiple things that MAGA folks may have buyer's remorse about, including Tariffs and the possible repeal of the ACA (Obamacare).

4 NOV. 2024 · On this episode of "Ford News," our pre-election special, Johnathan and Brian start the poll by discussing the Selzer poll in Iowa. What does it mean for the rest of the country? Harris has a three-point lead in the Selzer Poll, and it's surprising, but not shocking, as Iowa has swung back and forth through the years from red to blue.
In segment number two, the guys call out the member of the FCC who wanted to contest that NBC was violating the Equal Time rule after Kamala Harris appeared on Saturday Night Live over the weekend. He was appointed by Donald Trump of course. MAGA will MAGA.
In the last segment, it's time to put it all on the table. What are we thinking and feeling less than 24 hours before election day? It's all here.

28 OCT. 2024 · On this episode of "Ford News," Johnathan and Brian discuss Kamala Harris' policies and platform as we are within single digits of the election. The guys pick their favorite policy from Kamala's platform and also talk about the way that the Harris/Walz campaign will help our senior population.
In segment two, we discuss the hateful rhetoric that is coming out of Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden in New York. One rule they should know is to never piss off Bad Bunny.
Finally, in our last segment, we bring you the "Ford Fact Check." This week's "Ford Fact Check" brings you the latest look at the polls and why you should not be filled with dread if you are on team Harris/Walz.

14 OCT. 2024 · In this Ford News episode, Johnathan and Brian start the show by discussing the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. We give credit to the Biden Administration for their response, and we also give credit where credit is due. Ron DeSantis has handled this situation rather well.
And no the government is not controlling the weather.
In segment two, we dive into the dozens of former Trump administration officials who have abandoned their former boss. This should be a sign.
The "Ford Fact Check" brings us to Kamala Harris' economic plan which has been praised by economists the world over.

All of this as another hurricane (Milton) heads towards the west coast of Florida.

30 SEP. 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan, and Brian start the discussion with Special Counsel Jack Smith filing a sealed brief in the D.C. District Court laying out the facts for the superseding indictment in the Trump election interference case. Why did he have to do this and what may be in this sealed document?
In segment two, Johnathan puts his math hat on to talk about the different electoral paths to victory for Kamala Harris and the shrinking map for Donald Trump.
The "Ford Fact Check" brings us to Pittsburgh and one of Brian's favorite establishments, Primanti Brothers, where the GOP is outraged over a bit of confusion that happened when VP candidate JD Vance went to visit the Steel City staple.
We also want to send our thoughts and prayers to everyone impacted by Hurricane Helene. The aftermath of this historic storm has destroyed lives in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas.

23 SEP. 2024 · In this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian start by discussing the Mark Robinson scandal. The Lt. Governor of North Carolina, known for his extreme views, and way-out-of-the-mainstream musings, is alleged to have been into all sorts of kinky things and expressed them on a website called 'Nude Africa.' Normally, we here at Ford News would have no issue with Mr. Robinson's supposed love of things like Transgender Porn, but when he has been spewing hatred out of his mouth for years, the hypocrisy is overwhelming. Also, there's a possibility he slept with his wife's sister! By the way, he also referred to himself as a "Black Nazi," so that's fun!
In segment two, we take a trip out to Johnathan's neck of the woods in Omaha, NE to discuss the unique way that the state of Nebraska awards its electors. We discuss a scenario where the one elector representing the Omaha area, which is blue, could turn the election one way or another. The GOP is trying to rework the way Nebraska does this. No surprise here.
Finally, in the Ford Fact Check, Johnathan discusses the new vote-counting rules down in Georgia. What does it mean to hand-count votes?
Oh, and Johnathan makes some BOLD election predictions!

16 SEP. 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, Brian and Johnathan start the show by catching the audience up on the Breaking News surrounding a possible assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a golf course in Palm Beach. Who is Ryan Wesley Routh? How did he manage to get so close to the former president with a long gun? There are still so many questions.
In segment two, the guys agree that Kamala Harris demolished Donald Trump in last week's debate. Harris was able to bait Trump into becoming unhinged. No, she wasn't wearing a listening device and no she wasn't given the questions beforehand.
This week's "Ford Fact Check" concentrates on the stupid, idiotic, story line that Haitian Immigrants are eating people's pets in Springfield, Ohio. MAGA gets more crazy as the days move on.
