Season 2 - Episode 5 - Republicans Run in with the Law - Maine Gov Fights Back - Pentagon Shakeup


Listen Later

On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan, and Brian start the show by discussing the alleged incident with Florida Congressman Cory Mills and a woman, now identified as Iranian-American Sarah Raviani. 

We also bring up Enrique Tarrio, of Proud Boys and Seditious Conspiracy fame, who has made himself a regular in Washington D.C. being the agent provocateur that he is. 

In segment two, we get to Maine Governor Janet Mills, who openly challenged Donald Trump at a meeting of the country's governors last week. They had a back and forth, where Trump said "WE ARE THE LAW." Governor Mills told him that she will see him in court. 

This brings up the broader question of how should Dems treat the current situation. Should Dems fight back, or let Trump and Musk burn their own bridges and watch them self-destruct from the sidelines? 

Segment three takes us to the Pentagon, where Trump fired an amazingly decorated and qualified Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General C.Q. Brown, and replaced him with an odd choice in Lt. General Dan Caine, who actually doesn't meet the legal qualifications for the job. 

MAGA shouts about "woke" and "DEI," but continues to put people in jobs they aren't necessarily qualified for.
