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!
