  • Summary

  • 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?
