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.

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.

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.

From the lies being told by Trump and MAGA, to what FEMA and other organizations are doing to help the people of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas.
All of this as another hurricane (Milton) heads towards the west coast of Florida.

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.

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!

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.

In this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian start the show by discussing the disgraceful incident with Donald Trump, his campaign, and the folks at Arlington National Cemetary. We also remind you of all of the other times that Trump has been disrespectful to our troops and veterans.
In segment two, we welcome Tambrei Cash, who is running for congress out of the 9th District in Georgia. Tambrei has a great story. She was just a business owner and a mom to three who decided to jump into politics because she wants a better future for her kids.
This week's Ford Fact check has to focus on Kamala Harris and the "Fake News" that she was the Border Csar.

In segment two, we reluctantly wheel out the amount of crap that RFK Jr. has spewed and been involved with. A bear. A whale. Jeffrey Epstein. And, we tell you how much his dropping out of the campaign and endorsing Donald Trump helps Trump (HINT - It Doesn't ).
This week's "Ford Fact Check" brings you the facts about illegal immigration and the bill that was going to make things tighter at the border was killed by Donald Trump himself.

Tim Walz brings a sensibility that midwestern folks can relate to and Johnathan talked to several people attending the rally to get their thoughts.
In Segment Two, Brian and Johnathan had the pleasure of speaking with the Democratic candidate for Congress from the 13th District in Florida, Whitney Fox. Ms. Fox shared her platform and her vision as she runs to beat one of the weirdest members of Congress, Anna Paulina Luna.

On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian talk about the uneven news coverage of Vice President Harris and Governor Walz's rallies, compared to the airing of a full Donald Trump press conference where he lied over 120 times.
In the second segment, we talk about fake electors, again. This time it's Arizona where indictments may be closer to coming down as former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis has decided to cooperate with the prosecution. And, MAGA is preparing to try the same shenanigans again if Trump loses. Keep your eyes open.
The "Ford Fact Check" focuses on Tim Walz's military career as MAGA has thrown out the term 'Stolen Valor.' It's all a bunch of hogwash as Tim Walz served this country honorably for 24 years.

On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan, and Brian start by talking about the amazing news of four hostages freed from Russian prisons and brought back home. Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza landed back at Joint Base Andrews, greeted by President Biden and Vice President Harris. It was a joyous occasion that was months in the making. The amazing turn of events is another example of Joe Biden being one of the most successful presidents in recent history.
Segment two brings us to talk about the widespread support for Kamala Harris as she has secured the Democratic Party's nomination. There have been multiple Zoom calls with thousands of supporters that have raised millions and millions of dollars. She has garnered support from all corners of the US from a multitude of segments of the US population. It has been surprising, but refreshing.
The "Ford Fact Check" focuses on the false narrative that the Democratic Party pulled off a "coup" to replace President Bide on the ticket with Kamala Harris. It's a bunch of bull hockey!

On this episode of "Ford News," Johnathan and Brian are blown away by the enthusiasm that Vice President Kamala Harris is fueling a week into her run as the presumptive Democratic nominee. The money is pouring in. The volunteers are signing up. The KHive has even taken over The Villages in Florida.
While Kamala has riled up the Dems, J.D. Vance has thrown a wet towel on the Trump campaign. Diet Mountain Dew Boy brings the word weird to a whole new level. His misogynistic ways are not going over well with women or men, and his shots at childless women have not exactly gone over well, even with the likes of Trey Gowdy.
This week, Johnathan's "Ford Fact Check" focuses on the complete lie that crime is up under Joe Biden. That's not true!
We also want to shout out some great congressional candidates in Florida:
Whitney Fox, running in the FL-13th
