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.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Published

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

Published

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
