    Season 2 - Episode 11- Trump Deportations Without Due Process Continue, Polling In The Tank
    Apr 30 2025
    On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian start the episode by discussing the recent events as the Trump Administration has sent multiple kids, who are American Citizens, including a four-year-old with Stage 4 cancer, to other countries as their mothers were being deported. They, like so many others, received no due process. It's appalling.

    In the second segment, we do the "Ford Fact Check." This week, Johnathan takes a deep dive into the recent polling numbers for Donald Trump. They aren't just bad, they are historically bad.

  • Season 2 - Episode 10 - Hegseth, Mace, and Noem Continue Incompetence as Supreme Court Makes Rulings

    Season 2 - Episode 10 - Hegseth, Mace, and Noem Continue Incompetence as Supreme Court Makes Rulings
    Apr 23 2025
    On this Episode of Ford News, Johnathan is BACK! After suffering a horrific car accident, Johnathan is on the mend and ready to fight MAGA once again.

    We start by discussing the absolute disaster that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been. He's leaked operational details in Signal chats, all while saying repeatedly that he can't stand leakers. LOOK IN THE MIRROR!

    Then it's on to another cabinet member, Kristi Noem, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. She took her family to dinner, and had her purse stolen, with cash, her passport, and her DHS ID Badge inside! This was while her Secret Service detail was "protecting" her.

    Congresswoman Nancy Mace got feisty with a constituent who simply wanted to know when her next town hall would be.

    Then, in the "Ford Fact Check," Johnathan talks about the Supreme Court Ruling that requires the government to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. Somehow, MAGA thought this was a win. They didn't seem to read the court's opinion.

    Brian flies solo on this edition of Ford News as Johnathan recovers from a bad car accident.

    (Go wish Johnathan well on X HERE @FordJohnathan5)

    Segment One is all about the powers of the judiciary. We focus on the rulings of Federal Judge James "Jeb" Boasberg. MAGA thinks he should be impeached for doing his job. MAGA tends to forget The Constitution and the three co-equal branches of government. They also seem to forget that the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee due process rights to all "persons," not just citizens of this country. Oh, and let's not forget that Boasberg was Brett Kavanaugh's roomie at Yale Law School and was also the federal judge allowing the State Department to release Hilary Clinton's emails. He is far from a "liberal activist judge."

    In Segment Two, Brian talks about the speaking tour that AOC and Bernie Sanders are on. Thousands of people have come out to see them speak about the rising oligarchy in the United States and the fact that the Trump Administration does not represent the values or the plight of the working class in this country. But, who will be the future messenger and face of the Democratic Party? Will it be AOC or will someone else rise to the occasion? We discuss.

    Mar 17 2025
    On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan, and Brian start the show by discussing numerous cases where people who are legally allowed to be in the United States have been deported, including a 10-year-old girl with brain cancer and a doctor who helps perform kidney transplants.

    In segment two the focus turns to Columbia University and the student, and Palestinian protester, Mahmoud Khalil, who was detained by ICE and disappeared from his pregnant wife and legal team. Is the Trump administration taking a law from 1798 too far?

    Segment three brings us to the "Ford Fact Check." This week Johnathan brings you up to date on the real deal as it relates to tariffs, Canada, and dairy.


    We urge you to get involved with the Hands Off 2025 National Day of Action to protest against the Trump Administration's actions. Get more info and sign up to get involved HERE.

    Season 2 Episode 7 - Tate Praised - Green Censured - Trump Lies - Today's Republicans
    Mar 10 2025
    On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian start the show by discussing the Tate brothers coming to the United States. Why are these two disgusting individuals scumbags? Why do the "bros" worship them? Why does Donald Trump embrace "Alpha Males?" All of these questions are things we ponder.

    In segment two, we talk about Texas Congressman Al Green (D), who stood up and shouted at President Donald Trump during last week's speech to a joint session of Congress. Green was censured in a move that can only be termed as hypocritical after the Boopsie Twins' MTG and Lauren Boebert acted like idiots over the last few years during Biden's SOTU addresses.

    Segment three brings us to the "Ford Fact Check," where Johnathan takes a stab at fact-checking the president's speech to Congress. One segment probably didn't give him enough time to do this, but he tried!

    Season 2 - Episode 6 - Diplomacy Failure as Trump Sides with Putin - Republican Members of Congress face Pushback
    Mar 3 2025
    On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian start the show with the debacle in foreign relations and diplomacy in the Oval Office last week as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with President Trump, J.D. Vance, and Sec. State Marco Rubio. It was an embarrassment for the United States and nothing we have seen EVER in the history of this country.

    In Segment Two, we discuss the numerous Republican members of Congress and the Senate who have faced pushback from their constituents at town halls being held in red districts and states. The folks seem to be a tad upset at some of the haphazard cuts that DOGE has made to the federal government. It's almost as if firing Vets is a bad idea.

    The third segment brings us to the "Ford Fact Check," where we dive into the true numbers as they relate to how much the United States is spending in supporting Ukraine. Where is that money going to, and what are European countries spending ?

    Season 2 - Episode 5 - Republicans Run in with the Law - Maine Gov Fights Back - Pentagon Shakeup
    Feb 24 2025
    On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan, and Brian start the show by discussing the alleged incident with Florida Congressman Cory Mills and a woman, now identified as Iranian-American Sarah Raviani.

    We also bring up Enrique Tarrio, of Proud Boys and Seditious Conspiracy fame, who has made himself a regular in Washington D.C. being the agent provocateur that he is.

    In segment two, we get to Maine Governor Janet Mills, who openly challenged Donald Trump at a meeting of the country's governors last week. They had a back and forth, where Trump said "WE ARE THE LAW." Governor Mills told him that she will see him in court.

    This brings up the broader question of how should Dems treat the current situation. Should Dems fight back, or let Trump and Musk burn their own bridges and watch them self-destruct from the sidelines?

    Segment three takes us to the Pentagon, where Trump fired an amazingly decorated and qualified Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General C.Q. Brown, and replaced him with an odd choice in Lt. General Dan Caine, who actually doesn't meet the legal qualifications for the job.

    MAGA shouts about "woke" and "DEI," but continues to put people in jobs they aren't necessarily qualified for.

    Season 2 - Episode 4 - Democracy Dies with DOGE and DOJ
    Feb 18 2025
    On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan, and Brian start the show by digging into the fallout as the Department of Justice began to meddle in the work of the Southern District of New York and the indictment of New York Mayor Eric Adams. There were mass resignations and a myriad of letters going back and forth. It's something out of a movie, or, in this case, Trump's America.

    In segment two, we discuss the courts being the last crumbs of hope as our constitutional republic gets closer to collapse as DOGE continues to weave their way through every federal agency, haphazardly firing people and shutting departments down like they are Big Box stores from a bygone era.

    Segment three brings us to the "Ford Fact Check," where Johnathan walks us through the many lies told by Elon Musk as he dismantles our government. $50 Million for condoms? Gaza? Social Security Fraud?
