On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan, and Brian led the show with the breaking news that President Biden pardoned his son, Hunter. We discuss why President Biden would go against his previous statements that he wouldn't pardon Hunter.
In segment two, the focus is on two potential nominees in the Trump administration: Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth. Kash Patel as the likely nominee for FBI Director has been received poorly, to say the least, by most. He's a conspiracy theorist who wants the FBI to go after anyone in the media or government who has not supported Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, potential Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's mother wrote an email pleading with her son to get help for the way he treats women. Plus, he's unqualified to lead a working force of almost three million people at the Pentagon.
And in the final segment, we bring you this week's Ford Fact Check in which we once again reiterate that close to 90% of the fentanyl brought in to the United States is by American citizens. Donald Trump has been misleading on this.
Oh...and Johnathan discovers a music star!
