Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday,
00:00:04.300
June 27th. Happy Friday, folks. President Trump holding a press conference earlier this afternoon
00:00:09.520
talking about the Supreme Court as they convened for their last day before summer recess.
00:00:16.560
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court siding with President Trump and his administration
00:00:20.500
that the federal district courts lack the constitutional or statutory authority to
00:00:25.960
issue a so-called universal injunction, sweeping orders that block government policies nationwide,
00:00:32.800
often at the request of left-wing advocacy groups. President Trump addressing that concern earlier
00:00:39.160
today along with a few other cases that the Supreme Court ruled on, as I said before, heading off for
00:00:44.700
summer vacation. Some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship,
00:00:51.480
which now comes to the fore. That was meant for the babies of slaves. It wasn't meant for people
00:00:56.680
trying to scam the system and come into the country on a vacation. This was, in fact, it was the same
00:01:03.000
date, the exact same date, the end of the Civil War. It was meant for the babies of slaves and it's so
00:01:07.840
clean and so obvious. But this lets us go there and finally win that case because hundreds of thousands
00:01:14.040
of people are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship. And it wasn't meant for
00:01:18.920
that reason. It was meant for the babies of slaves. So thanks to this decision, we can now
00:01:25.160
properly file to proceed with these numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined
00:01:31.880
on a nationwide basis, including birthright citizenship, ending sanctuary city funding,
00:01:37.880
suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, stopping federal taxpayers from paying
00:01:44.120
for transgender surgeries and numerous other priorities of the American people.
00:01:50.440
We have so many of them. I have a whole list. I'm not going to bore you. And I'm going to have
00:01:54.760
Pam get up and say a few words, but there's really, she can talk as long as she wants,
00:02:00.680
A few more cases President Trump didn't mention there. Another big one,
00:02:04.840
the Supreme Court also this afternoon affirming Texas's right to shield minors from the flood of
00:02:10.120
pornographic content plaguing the internet. The decision in Free Speech Coalition, Inc.
00:02:14.840
versus Ken Paxton upholds the House Bill 1881, Texas law requiring websites with substantial sexual
00:02:22.200
content to verify users' ages before granting access to that site. That was a 6-3 decision. Of course,
00:02:30.520
Marxist Dems don't really care about our children, as you all know. Justice Amy Coney Barrett coming out of
00:02:38.840
the woods from somewhere, confirming how little she thinks of her far less intelligent colleagues,
00:02:45.320
particularly Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, during today's historic ruling on nationwide injunctions,
00:02:51.400
with the phrase that will haunt the Biden appointee for years.
00:02:55.240
Coney Barrett, who's been a little bit disappointing, I must say, writing for the majority that dismantled the
00:03:01.800
legal foundation of these injunctions with a little bit of a surgical precision to it. She was joined by
00:03:07.080
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh. Barrett declared that
00:03:12.280
such, quote, universal remedies lack any historical basis in traditions of the Judiciary Act of 1789.
00:03:20.360
Of course, Justices Alita Kagan, Sona Sotomayor, and Jackson dissented. Now, what Amy Coney Barrett said next,
00:03:26.280
that's sort of interesting. We will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at an odds with more than two
00:03:33.480
centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this. Justice Jackson
00:03:41.000
decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary. If that wasn't rough enough, Barrett finished
00:03:49.000
with the haymaker. Quote, Justice Jackson skips over the part because analyzing the government statute
00:03:56.360
involves boring legalese. Essentially what Justice Coney Barrett was saying is that Jackson is too dumb to
00:04:03.560
understand basic constitutional law vindicating conservatives who claim she was a DEI appointment.
00:04:09.560
That can't feel good. President Trump going scorched earth today, terminating all trade discussions with
00:04:16.280
Canada over a digital services tax on American tech companies. President Trump posting on Truth
00:04:21.720
Social just moments ago, quote, we have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult country to
00:04:26.920
trade with, including the fact that they have charged our farmers as much as a 400% tariff for years
00:04:32.440
on dairy products, has just announced that they are putting a digital services tax on our American
00:04:37.640
technology companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our country. They are obviously copying the
00:04:43.640
European Union, which has done the same thing and is currently under discussion with us also.
00:04:49.240
Based on this egregious tax, we are hereby terminating all discussions on trade with Canada,
00:04:54.200
effective immediately. We will let Canada know the tariff that they will be paying to do business
00:04:58.680
with the United States of America within the next seven day period. Thank you for your attention to this
00:05:04.120
matter. Canada is playing the game and they just might get bit on the rear end.
