  • Episode 25 - Jack Smith hands Trump a bombshell, Chutkan allows extended brief

    Episode 25 - Jack Smith hands Trump a bombshell, Chutkan allows extended brief
    Sep 30 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.

  • Episode 24 - Robinson scandal grows, Trump and GOP panicking over possible election loss

    Episode 24 - Robinson scandal grows, Trump and GOP panicking over possible election loss
    Sep 23 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!

  • Episode 23 - Harris wins debate, JD and Trump lie to America

    Episode 23 - Harris wins debate, JD and Trump lie to America
    Sep 16 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.
