No chance. No way.
The Mayor of Dallas has made a suggestion for his city that's so outlandish, it sounds like a joke. Jeff Ward says if Mayor Eric Johnson's idea is a re-election pitch, whoever runs against him will win in a landslide. He goes on to say this NFL expansion idea will make any list of things that will NEVER happen in your lifetime. https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Does an FBI raid help or hurt Donald Trump's candidacy?
Donald Trump all but officially announced he was running for the Presidency over the weekend. Less than 48 hours after he was cheered wildly at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Committee) in Dallas, his Florida home was raided by the FBI. Predictably he calls it a witch hunt, and he even labeled the U.S. a "Third World Country." Jeff Ward makes the case that Trump can use this to his advantage to get the nomination, OR he can use a potential indictment as a way out of the Presidential race in order to avoid the personal embarrassment of losing. https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When does being weird become too weird?

Will talk shows change because of the Alex Jones defamation verdict?
Jeff Ward says "crusader hosts" have been power hungry and reckless, and the Alex Jones defamation trial is a much-needed wake up call for the media industry, the talk show audience, and everyone that's misguided about "free speech." He goes on to argue that hosts and fans need a reset, and the weaponization of the term "free speech" is out of control. https://advertisecast.com/thejeffwardshow Contact: sales@advertisecast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

CNBC's Contessa Brewer gives the business world's view of Elon Musk.
Is Elon Musk more of an innovative, once in a generation business mind like Steve Jobs, or is he more of a modern day carnival barker like Donald Trump? Does his social media presence water down his success or highlight his innovations? Does it help, or hurt, his brand? Was his highly publicized attempt to take over Twitter a serious offer, or a publicity stunt? Does the business world block out the "social media noise," or is Wall Street bothered by his constant publicity?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anti-corporate hate speech is the political play of the day, but why (and how) is it working?
However "woke" you may think a business may be, why does it matter to you as a voter? Does it even matter to you as a consumer? Jeff Ward says the new anti-woke movement is really anti-corporate hate speech and is being driven by politicians peddling rage. He argues it's unhealthy, dangerous, and anti-capitalist.

The circus like trial of Alex Jones takes a bizarre Jan. 6 turn. (Your primer on what's next.)

The NFL's laughable hypocrisy takes center stage.
The term "integrity of the game" is front and center as the NFL hands down a suspension to Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. He was suspended for "tampering," not for the more sensational and meaningful claim by former coach Brian Flores that he was asked by Ross to lose games on purpose to get a higher draft position. The league, in its ruling, said Ross made the comments in "jest." Flores stands by his claim and Jeff Ward backs him up with the simple argument of "Who fires a coach that wins eight of his last nine games?" Ask yourself what the outcome would be if a player made comments about losing on purpose.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
