Brian flies solo on this edition of Ford News as Johnathan recovers from a bad car accident.
(Go wish Johnathan well on X HERE @FordJohnathan5)
Segment One is all about the powers of the judiciary. We focus on the rulings of Federal Judge James "Jeb" Boasberg. MAGA thinks he should be impeached for doing his job. MAGA tends to forget The Constitution and the three co-equal branches of government. They also seem to forget that the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee due process rights to all "persons," not just citizens of this country. Oh, and let's not forget that Boasberg was Brett Kavanaugh's roomie at Yale Law School and was also the federal judge allowing the State Department to release Hilary Clinton's emails. He is far from a "liberal activist judge."
In Segment Two, Brian talks about the speaking tour that AOC and Bernie Sanders are on. Thousands of people have come out to see them speak about the rising oligarchy in the United States and the fact that the Trump Administration does not represent the values or the plight of the working class in this country. But, who will be the future messenger and face of the Democratic Party? Will it be AOC or will someone else rise to the occasion? We discuss.
