1 JUL 2024 · EMERGENCY POD The Supreme Court releases their decision on the presidential immunity case and Johnathan and Brian have the instant reaction

1 JUL 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, we dive into the postmortem on the first Presidential Debate.  We discuss President Biden's less-than-stellar performance and the avalanche of negativity that followed it. Should Biden drop out of the race?  Meanwhile, on the other side of the stage, Donald Trump told more lies than Pinocchio. What purpose did CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash serve?  In segment two, we discuss the Supreme Court's Chevron decision that will impact the ability of federal agencies to protect the American people.  And the "Ford Fact Check" is solely dedicated to fact-checking the myriad of lies that Donald Trump told during the debate. Johnathan makes mince meat of Trump's garbage.  LINKS Biden Debate https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/06/28/us/trump-biden-debate https://www.factcheck.org/2024/06/factchecking-the-biden-trump-debate/ https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/27/politics/fact-checking-the-cnn-presidential-debate/index.html Increased Polling post-debate https://www.nj.com/news/2024/06/first-post-debate-poll-reveals-startling-results-in-trump-biden-battle-who-wouldve-predicted-this.html Chevron Decision  https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/28/politics/chevron-precedent-supreme-court/index.html 'Black Jobs' https://www.yahoo.com/news/hello-black-job-black-democrats-164140570.html?

25 JUN 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian start the show by marking the second anniversary of the Dobbs decision by the Supreme Court, overturning Roe v Wade, which federally protected a woman's right to choose.  We talk about the upcoming election and the importance of pro-choice politics in the upcoming November election.  In Segment Two Jonathan talks about the TikTok debates he's been diving into in the wee hours of the morning, "educating" the MAGA folks about several issues from the NY Penal Code to inflation to the war in Ukraine and more. Believe it or not, the MAGA folks seem to be under-educated.  Segment Three brings us to the "Ford Fact Check." This week, Johnathan lays out a plethora of data about how undocumented workers contribute to the US economy. We talk about President Biden introducing border legislation on his first day in office, and debunk the thought process that liberals just want open borders.  LINKS  Roe V Wade https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-pacific-southwest/blog/acknowledging-the-anniversary-of-the-dobbs-decision#:~:text=June%2024%2C%202024%20marks%20two%20years%20since%20the,reverse%20nearly%2050%20years%20of%20precedent%20and%20protection.

17 JUN 2024 · https://www.youtube.com/@FordNews1 On the 10th episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian discuss the conviction of Hunter Biden and how the Biden family rallied around, and showed their love and affection, for Hunter. Joe Biden's empathy and compassion are some of the major differences between him and Donald Trump and should be something voters look at as they head toward November.  In segment two, the guys discuss the misleading videos distributed by the New York Post, trying to make President Biden seem like he didn't know where he was and where he was going. Brian points out that filling social media with edited videos is all they have because when it comes to the issues and presidential records, Joe Biden is the clear front-runner.  We also point out some misleading thoughts about the economy's strength. It's strong!  This week's "Ford Fact Check" dives into the data and polling numbers about how the topic of abortion may impact November's election. A majority of Americans believe a woman should have the right to choose.  Happy Father's Day from Ford News! https://www.omahazoo.com/ Hunter Biden  https://apnews.com/article/president-joe-biden-hunter-biden-18efb958a5365eebda5bb3da411c4326 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/13/biden-pardon-hunter-commute-sentence/ https://www.vox.com/politics/354842/hunter-biden-guilty-politics-david-weiss False claims about Biden  https://x.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1802453453949505845?s=19 https://x.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1801423192960970786?s=19 Ford Fact Check  https://www.denverpost.com/2022/07/18/keystone-pipeline-xl-gas-prices-opinion/ https://www.nrdc.org/stories/what-keystone-xl-pipeline https://www.axios.com/2024/06/13/abortion-2024-election-poll

10 JUN 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian start by talking about President Biden's trip to France to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day.  President Biden laid a wreath at the cemetery that Donald Trump wouldn't visit because it was raining and he didn't want to get his hair wet.  We talk about the United States' place in the world and the support for Ukraine and Israel.  In segment two, we turn our attention to InfoWars' Alex Jones, who has to liquidate assets because he owes the Sandy Hook families $1.5 billion. Alex Jones is a monster and the masses that believe him make his lies exponentially worse.  The Ford Fact Check this week focuses on the GOP's Project 2025. It's scary. They want to end our constitutional republic and replace it with a white supremacist Christian theocracy led by a dictator - Donald Trump.  Also, in case you forgot, President Biden capped insulin prices at $35, not Donald Trump.  Check out our new YouTube Channel https://youtube.com/@fordnews1?si=61W0Js9vZP2FgOb3 Links D Day remembrance  Zelensky  https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/world/europe/zelensky-d-day-veteran.html Biden Speech  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-speech-freedom-democracy-pointe-du-hoc/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/07/world/europe/biden-zelensky-meeting-ukraine.html Sandy Hook shooting  http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2012/12/us/sandy-hook-timeline/index.html Alex Jones  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/alex-jones-lashes-agreeing-sell-assets-pay-legal-debt-sandy-hook-famil-rcna156049 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/alex-jones-asks-convert-his-bankruptcy-chapter-7-liquidation-2024-06-06/ https://nypost.com/2024/06/03/us-news/alex-jones-sobs-screams-as-claims-feds-shutting-infowars/ Project 2025  https://www.mediamatters.org/heritage-foundation/guide-project-2025-extreme-right-wing-agenda-next-republican-administration Insulin Fact Check  https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/08/trump-claims-credit-for-bidens-insulin-price-cap.html

3 JUN 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian break down the aftermath of the former president, Donald Trump, being found guilty on all 34 counts in the election interference and hush money trial.  We talk about the jurors and why this case was not rigged.  In Segment Two, the boys get into the possible impact that the guilty verdict will have on November's election.  We also discuss the preposterous idea that NY Gov. Kathy Hochul will pardon Donald Trump. It. Ain't. Happening.  The Ford Fact Check lays out the list of 37 countries that Donald Trump can no longer visit as a convicted felon.

27 MAY 2024 · On Episode 7 of Ford News, we dive back into the courts. We start in the Supreme Court where Justice Alito was flying an American flag upside down outside of one house and displaying another controversial flag outside of another house. Is he really blaming his wife?  Also in the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas' wife played a major role in the events of January 6th. Have we reached unprecedented partisanship among Supreme Court Justices?  In segment two, we head back to the courtroom in New York City where we may get a verdict in Donald Trump's election interference and hush money trial this week. Was Robert Costello the bombastic witness that we thought Michael Cohen was going to be?  Plus, Jack Smith may have found a way to take the documents' case away from Judge Aileen Cannon. Will his legal maneuver work? In the Ford Fact Check, Johnathan talks about Donald Trump's obsession with crowd size and how recent Trump events in Wildwood and The Bronx weren't exactly pulling in the crowds that the Trump campaign said they were.  We remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedoms serving in the Armed Forces on this Memorial Day. May their sacrifice never be forgotten.  LINKS Manhattan Criminal Case https://apnews.com/article/trump-trial-hush-money-robert-costello-b1beb56a666c398ae5393ede16c326da https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-hush-money-trial-05-21-24/h_be3e8f49964871d2844df4f2ed69d87b Justice Alito https://abc7chicago.com/post/appeal-heaven-flag-displayed-justice-samuel-alitos-house/14861657/ https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/25/politics/samuel-alito-wife-upside-down-flag/index.html#:~:text=The%20New%20York%20Times%20last%20week%20published%20a,was%20a%20response%20to%20a%20spat%20with%20neighbors. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/robert-costello-testify-hush-money-trial-clash-judge-merchan-rcna153173 Crowd size debunked  https://x.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1792352807988728282?t=zqweYL06bUSALyD5KMHH-g&s=19 https://x.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1794010039276986457?t=y4s1OC792aD_Vb1U_eaHPw&s=19 Special Counsel Jack Smith  https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/05/24/special-counsel-trump-fbi-order/ Libertarian Party  https://x.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1794559302935482558?t=Pg2GBBe6NQiWLZ10XD39vw&s=19

20 MAY 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan, and Brian take a deep dive look at the journalists in Trump's pocket, according to Michael Cohen's testimony in the NY hush money and election interference trial. Maggie Haberman, Katie Tur, and Chris Cuomo were all mentioned as media members who were on speed dial for the Trump Campaign in 2016.  Johnathan wants consequences. Brian pushes back a bit after 25 years in journalism.  In Segment Two, we dive into the testimony of Michael Cohen. Did Michael Cohen lie on the stand? Could this impact the outcome of the trial? How is this all landing with the jurors in that New York City courtroom? Segment three brings us to the "idiot kicker." Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave a commencement speech last week at Benedictine College and pretty much pissed off just about everyone. He delved into misogyny, anti-semitism, homophobia and so much more! Brian has a take that might strike you as odd.  And, of course, we end the show with the "Ford Fact Check," as Johnathan sets the record straight about some misnomers floating around about the Trump NYC trial.  LINKS Cohen Testimony  https://twitter.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1790097031949652070?t=F8U7NNpu1c_oZ_zYdtL6hw&s=19 https://twitter.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1790382736236003484?t=mR-PAGdRgJM-fiwJ0cngDQ&s=19 https://twitter.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1790119012401029463?t=-2NMj3GlSecSYfWomfUJbQ&s=19 https://twitter.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1790261117610078227?t=tR0ThrKJxnt-f6y6n8j4kQ&s=19 Maggie Haberman, Katy Tur, and Chris Cuomo  https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4662891-michael-cohen-maggie-haberman-text-messages-donald-trump-hush-money-trial/ https://twitter.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1791178871439511671?t=dAG3wlFqr03wfVShwBWKbw&s=19 Harrison Butker https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/05/17/harrison-butker-speech-transcript/ https://awfulannouncing.com/local-networks/trenni-casey-harrison-butker-speech-chiefs-nbc-sports-boston.html District Attorney Alvin Bragg  https://manhattanda.org/district-attorney-bragg-announces-34-count-felony-indictment-of-former-president-donald-j-trump/ https://www.dupeelaw.com/criminal-defense-attorney/statute-of-limitations/#:~:text=The%20statute%20of%20limitations%20may,the%20defendant%27s%20whereabouts%20are%20unknown.

13 MAY 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian dive into the testimony of Stormy Daniels in the election interference and hush money trial in New York. Could the salacious aspect of her testimony be something that the defense brings up on appeal if Trump is convicted? What impact did Daniels' testimony have on the trial, and why will we not see Karen McDougal take the stand?  Michael Cohen is on the stand and we expect more fireworks as Cohen will be sitting about 10 feet from his former boss. Will the prosecution be able to reign in Cohen after the former fixer has been blasting his former boss on social media for months? In segment two, we discuss the consistent buffoonery of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem who admitted in her book that she shot her dog and a goat. She lied about meeting the leaders of North Korea and France. She's canceled media appearances and her book tour. She has been an utter disaster.  This week's Ford Fact Check brings us to the impact that former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley is having on the Trump campaign, despite her dropping out over two months ago.  Follow the Show on X https://www.twitter.com/fordnewspodcast  This week's Links: Stormy Daniels Testimony  https://apnews.com/article/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-trial-takeaways-f34f094124fc7ec455d6a73cbb6eec21 https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/07/trump-hush-money-trial-stormy-daniels-testimony-00156744 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68987754 Governor Kristi Noem Lies (Book deal gone bad) https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/29/kristi-noem-misdemeanour-shooting-dog https://www.vox.com/politics/24145840/kristi-noem-puppy-killing-book-trump-vp Kristi Noem lies about Kim Jong Un https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jen-psaki-calls-out-kristi-noem-for-kim-jong-un-lie-its-very-knowable/ar-BB1lV74E?ocid=BingNewsSearch Kristi Noem French President Lie Emmanuel Macron  https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/french-official-disputes-passage-about-emmanuel-macron-in-kristi-noems-book/ar-BB1mbxZz?ocid=BingNewsSearch Nikki Haley 21% in Indiana  https://triblive.com/news/politics-election/nikki-haley-won-1-in-5-indiana-republican-voters-in-the-presidential-primary-she-left-the-race-in-march/

6 MAY 2024 · On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian start by covering the Gaza protests happening across the country on college campuses. We both agree that violence and vandalism are wrong and that those who participate in those acts should suffer consequences. We talk about the young man down on the Ole Miss campus who danced like a monkey in front of a black woman.  In segment two we discuss the NY election interference trial where Hope Hicks was a witness. Hicks got emotional on the stand and we get into why she may have broken down.  During this week's "Ford Fact Check," Johnathan talks about what was in the Senate border bill that Donald Trump put the kibosh on.  And the guys wrap up the show by agreeing that President Biden needs a win with a border bill or a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas before the November election.  This week's Links Hope Hicks https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/nyregion/trump-trial-hope-hicks-testimony.html https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/donald-trump-trial-hope-hicks-testimony-rcna150706 Ole Miss https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/04/us/mississippi-campus-protest-gaza-black-student/index.html Nearly half of the campus arrests aren't students https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/campus-protests-live-updates-police-ucla-encampment-rcna150340 https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/analysis-senate-border-bill https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=campus+protest+racism&qpvt=Campus+protest+Racism&form=IGRE&first=1
