Ford Explorer

Had they known what was going to happen next, they likely would have canceled their trip altogether.

At around 10.30 that night, the night of Super Bowl Sunday, a local police officer spotted David's red Ford Explorer parked outside of the local courthouse.

Considering the fact that he was a former judge and a practicing lawyer, this wasn't all that strange.

But for it to be there that late, on a Sunday night, no less, was odd enough for the officer to take note.

Even if you're considering gas mileage and things like that, probably the shortest that you could squeeze that down into, using a 1993 car, not terrible gas mileage, but not the greatest gas mileage.

And whatever car he was using, we have no idea.

Ford Explorer wouldn't make the trip.

Would not make the trip.

So we're seeing a resurgence of this mining industry, not just in the United States, but in countries outside of China, around the world, as the United States is trying to rebuild this rare earth supply chain.

And we know it's an issue because what we saw happen in 2025 is we saw Ford have to halt the production of the Ford Explorer because they ran out of rare earth metals.

This is why we're seeing such a big investment by the United States government into these rare earth companies.

For example, we saw the White House invest dollars, your tax dollars, into a publicly traded company called MP Materials because MP Materials is a United States rare earth mining company.

So my question is, yeah, sorry, sorry.

My question is, is like on those e-bikes, like if I buy it, I had a Ford Explorer, just recently sold it.

I compared it to your guys' Ford Explorer.

Your guys' Ford Explorer has more power.

It's just, you know, the police side of that is better.

So what I'm wondering is the e-bike.

It had just never happened before.

If someone... rob the gas station or someone you know hurt someone you just it just would have never been solved um if not for the mass surveillance state that will eventually subjugate us all and and so we just have to have it um and that you know they'll i see all these stories that are like um it's been used in solving this many crimes and to me it sounds like I don't know if the police department bought a new Ford Explorer and they're like, well, this Ford Explorer has been used in this solving this many crimes.

We just wouldn't have been able to do it without this new Ford Explorer that we got.

Sure.

I don't know.

so was currently living with her mother Paula to sort things out.

Paula watched her daughter get into the 2004 white Ford Explorer with Iowa license plate HGJ341 and then watched as her daughter and the unknown man drove away.

Little did Paula know that this would be the last time she would ever see her daughter, who she described as bright and artistic.

At around 1pm on April 20th, 2019, Sonny called her mom, Paula, to let her know that everything was going well and that they were possibly headed for Omaha, Nebraska.

You don't know if they're crazy.

I had a 2008 Ford Explorer, really big, XDL, big guy, right? Got a weapon? And it's huge.

And I still had someone try and drive me off the road.

Was I going to pull over and be like, excuse me, sir, what the hell is your problem? No, of course not.

I loved opening up my mail this weekend and seeing the city of Charlottesville with the personal property tax.

23 Ford Explorer with 60,000 miles, and they still want $410 every six months.

Oh, come on.

And I keep saying, it's the only... tax that New York doesn't have.
