The Jeff Ward Show

Governor Greg Abbott has created more problems than solutions with his new policy on inspecting trucks entering Texas at the Mexican border. What happened to Abbott's border wall plan?

The best relationship advice often comes from divorce attorneys and exotic dancers. A divorce attorney made a TikTok about the five worst professions for a future spouse…but it only applies to women. Miss Bristol, the infamous juror from the Nikolas Cruz trial, was dismissed for her unavailability. Miss Bristol doesn't mind. If she'd stayed in the jury, she would've lost $8,000 a month. Thanks to...

Somehow, Jerry Springer has become a voice of reason for society. On a SiriusXM radio show, Springer compared Donald Trump to the people who used to scream and fight on his show.

It wouldn't have been weird...except for the fact that his daughter Willow was the musical perf...
