29 APR 2024 · On the third episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian dive into the difficult subject of the Gaza protests on college campuses across the United States. Brian has a unique view as an American Jew who supports Israel, but not the government of Bibi Netanyahu.  Johnathan makes some great points about how we got to this point and while the formation of Israel as a nation was certainly not done perfectly, the only way to move forward is through a two-state solution.  In segment two, we cover the new indictments out of the state of Arizona as fake electors take center stage. Of course, we keep our eye on the happenings in the NYC courtroom where Donald Trump is facing testimony by witnesses in his hush-money case.  Also, there is the Supreme Court case about presidential immunity, and Brian and Johnathan agree that the courts will not save us.  The Ford Fact Check is back, and this week's edition looks at energy policy under President Biden and Donald Trump. Which president has us more energy-independent?

22 APR 2024 · On this "cold infected" episode of Ford News: Johnathan and Brian discuss the Manhattan trial of former president Donald Trump. A jury has been seated and opening statements are set to begin.  We now know who Witness 1 will be, and you guessed it, it's David Pecker!  Judge Merchan has some decisions to make on Trump violating the gag order in place and will be very strict regarding juror intimidation.  Segment two brings us to the often chaotic House of Representatives where Speaker Mike Johnson faces the prospect of losing his job as he got the spending bill geared towards Ukraine and Israel passed in the House. More than half of the Republican members of the House voted against the bill as Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene has threatened to have the Speaker vacated.  And, we have a BRAND NEW SEGMENT on the show: Ford Fact Check.  Johnathan takes us through the Oversight Committee's bumbling investigation into Hunter Biden. Has there been any evidence that President Biden did anything illegal? Johnathan lays it all out. It's a must-listen-to segment.  Here is the X Thread that Johnathan refers to in the Fact Check:  https://twitter.com/FordJohnathan5/status/1751323087751004562?t=mb56uKzvsC94AX6Q8DvPCg&s=19 And here are This Week's Important Stories that we have been reading- For Ukraine, Israel, Indo Pacific funding.  https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-vote-long-awaited-95-billion-ukraine-israel-aid-package-2024-04-20/ Criminal Case Manhattan https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/06/politics/trump-judge-daughter-attacks-explainer/index.html Expanded Gag order https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/judge-expands-gag-order-trumps-attacks-daughter-hush-money-case-rcna145932 Juror intimidation Judge warns Trump https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4597826-hush-money-judge-warns-trump-against-intimidating-jurors/ Trump could most likely avoid jail. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/11/donald-trump-new-york-hush-money-trial/72943245007/ Jury selection  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-new-york-court-criminal-trial/#:~:text=Twelve%20New%20Yorkers%20have%20been%20selected%20to%20serve,questioning%20about%20their%20personal%20lives%20and%20political%20views.
