Ford Rolls Out Employee Pricing to All Americans Effective Immediately, Just Hours After Trump’s Tariffs Hit: ‘Same Deal Our Workers Get’

Ford Motor Company is standing up for American consumers in the face of globalist economic pressure and decades of disastrous trade policies that hollowed out American industry.

Effective immediately, every American who walks into a Ford dealership will be treated like one of Ford’s own employees — at least when it comes to pricing.

That’s right. Starting today, Ford is extending employee pricing to every U.S. customer, a move that could knock thousands of dollars off the sticker price of new 2024 and 2025 Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

The program is called “From America, For America.”

The employee pricing deal applies to a broad swath of Ford’s 2024 and 2025 lineup — including gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and diesel models — for both Ford and Lincoln brands. However, a few high-demand models are excluded, including:

  • Raptors

  • Specialty Mustang and Bronco vehicles

  • 2025 Expedition and Navigator SUVs

  • Super Duty trucks

“In times like these, talk is cheap. At Ford, we believe in action,” said Rob Kaffl, Ford director, U.S. Sales, Market Rep. & Dealer Relations.

“For 121 years, we’ve put our money where our mouth is, assembling vehicles that Americans rely on and supporting American jobs. Today, I’m proud to announce a new U.S. initiative that’s more than just a promotion – it’s a handshake deal with every American.”

Steve Croley, Ford’s Chief Policy Officer and General Counsel, explained this new program on Fox News just hours after President Donald Trump reasserted America’s economic sovereignty with sweeping, reciprocal trade tariffs — including a 25% auto tariff aimed squarely at foreign-made cars that have flooded our market and decimated our industrial base.

Brian Kilmeade:
Ford just announced they will offer employee pricing to all customers, which could mean a $4,000 savings. Here to discuss this move is Ford’s Chief Policy Officer, Steve Croley. Steve, can you expand on this? Now, we’re going to be treated like an employee when it comes to pricing in any dealership across the country?

Steve Croley:
Hey, thanks for having me. You bet, that’s exactly right. For the next couple of months, we’re going to offer our customers the same deal that our employees get. As you say, that’s worth thousands of dollars. You come into our store, you get employee pricing. This is to call a little bit of a time-out.

We’ve heard some uncertainty from our customers, and we want them to be assured that Ford—the most American auto company—is going to do right by them and by our dealers. We make the most cars here, we employ the most, we export the most. We here at Ford are in a good position to address customers’ concerns and give them a really great deal on a great vehicle.

Brian Kilmeade:
That’s great. People are worried. A lot of people are scrambling to get a car before the tariffs kicked in—even used. This is new, so that’s interesting. One thing I found out is that even though you’re the most American-made car, we don’t make everything that goes into that car.

I mean, for example, leather seats—we don’t really do much for leather seats in mass production here in this country. You’ve got to go elsewhere. Have you been able to explain that to the White House? You could have the best intentions, but you just don’t have the material or the manufacturing here yet. You don’t want to be penalized.

Steve Croley:
Absolutely. The White House gets that. That’s why yesterday, the new tariffs on companies generally don’t apply to automobile manufacturers in particular. We have our own set of tariffs, of course, that was announced about a week ago. You’re absolutely right—there’s a global system for supplying car parts, and as a major manufacturer, we’re part of that.

But again, for us, we like the position we’re in because we do make most of our vehicles here, by far. Most that we sell here, we make here. We also love to buy from suppliers here in the United States, and we do that whenever we can.

Most of the parts that go in our vehicles are made here in the United States. But sure, it’s a global market, of course, and there are some that come from elsewhere. And yes, the administration has understood that very well.

Brian Kilmeade:
Steve, what country is just boxing Ford, GM, and Chrysler out—that you want to get access to? Maybe you could give us what it’s like. Certain countries… I don’t really see many Ford F-150s in Germany, right?

Steve Croley:
Yeah. Well, we sell around the world, but in most of those other major markets, we have manufacturing in local markets or in local regions. Our Ranger truck is super popular globally. We make that in five different locations around the world. We’re going to keep making around the world and pleasing customers around the world. But for here and now, we’re focused on the United States—our major market, our home market, our hometown—and we’re going to offer our U.S. customers a really great opportunity.

Brian Kilmeade:
We walk into our local dealership, we stress that they’re all going to be on board, right? There’s no caveats?

Steve Croley:
Yeah, our dealers are stepping up, and it’s really great. What it means is you get the employee price. Look, I’m an employee—that’s a great deal. I can tell you it’s thousands of dollars. It means that the dealers will sell below invoice. It’s a really great thing. We’re going to take advantage of a strong inventory that we have here, and at least for the next couple of months, it’s a fantastic opportunity. Just real quick—come on in, we’ll show you a car.

Brian Kilmeade:
You got it. Real quick, exit question—if you have to get a part from another country and there’s a tariff on that part, how can you not charge more for your car? Don’t you have to charge more for the car? Because your margins on an average car sale are not great.

Steve Croley:
Look, we are a small-margin industry. There’s no question about that. And sooner or later, yeah, these prices are going to work their way through the system. But it’s not a switch, so we don’t have to charge more on cars today. Like I say, we have a pretty good stock, and it’s that savings that we’re going to pass on. But the dust is going to settle on this thing, no doubt, over the next few months and beyond.

Dr. Ben Carson is the newest member of the Trump administration.

On Wednesday, former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, was sworn in as the national adviser for nutrition, health, and housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins shared that Carson’s role will be to oversee Trump’s new Big Beautiful Bill law, which aims to ensure Americans’ quality of life, from nutrition to stable housing.

After being sworn in, Carson shared, “Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish.”

Per USDA:

Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., was sworn in as the National Advisor for Nutrition, Health, and Housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” said Secretary Rollins.

“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing.

“As the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump Administration, Dr. Carson worked to expand opportunity and strengthen communities, and we are honored to welcome him to the second Trump Administration to help lead our efforts here at USDA to Make America Healthy Again and ensure rural America continues to prosper.”

“Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” said Dr. Ben Carson. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America.”

On Sunday, Dr. Carson was one of the many speakers at the memorial service of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

During the memorial service, Carson highlighted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 p.m. and then continued to share the Bible verse John 12:24, which reads, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

Published

By

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.

As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.

Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.

Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:

Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.

Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly 8 in 10 Voters Say the United States is in Political Crisis After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Published

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.

“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.

Quinnipiac reports:

Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.

This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.

Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.

A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”

Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.

“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.

The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.

“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.

The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
