In a bold move to restore global order and stability, President Trump has signaled his readiness to enlist China as a peace broker in the Russia-Ukraine war, an idea both strategic and rooted in real politic. While the Biden regime had floundered and fueled foreign wars with blank checks and reckless escalation, Trump s America First diplomacy aims at real results without dragging the U.S. into yet another endless war.

00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, May 9th.

00:00:04.480 Happy Friday, folks.

00:00:06.020 President Trump's acting FEMA chief, Cameron Hamilton, escorted out of the headquarters

00:00:10.380 just one day after defying the plan to abolish the agency during a congressional hearing.

00:00:16.340 He was abruptly removed from his post this week just one day after publicly opposing the administration's push

00:00:21.240 to abolish the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

00:00:24.540 Hamilton, who says he's a proud Trump supporter and former Navy SEAL,

00:00:27.480 who led FEMA since January, was reportedly escorted out of the agency's headquarter

00:00:31.560 after clashing with President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security's Kristi Noem

00:00:35.440 and their vision to dismantle FEMA.

00:00:38.060 David Richardson, who's a Marine Corps veteran and assistant secretary

00:00:41.400 for DHS's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office,

00:00:45.120 has been appointed to assume the duties of FEMA administrator effective immediately.

00:00:48.940 It's very simple, folks. This is a new administration.

00:00:51.760 If you don't support the agenda, if you don't support America First,

00:00:54.560 take your stuff and the door is that way.

00:00:57.480 President Trump this week taking aim at the globalist war machine,

00:01:00.620 the military-industrial complex, and much, much more,

00:01:03.760 pushing for a peace deal in Ukraine with the help of China.

00:01:06.980 In a bold move to restore global order and stability,

00:01:09.440 President Trump has signaled his readiness to enlist China as a peace broker

00:01:13.300 in the Russia-Ukraine war, an idea both strategic and rooted in real politic.

00:01:19.180 While Biden regime had floundered and fueled foreign wars with blank checks

00:01:22.840 and reckless escalation, Trump's America First diplomacy aims at real results

00:01:27.440 without dragging the U.S. in yet another endless war.

00:01:31.960 The move comes as Chinese President Xi Jinping made headlines during a visit to Moscow

00:01:36.000 where he held an extensive closed-door discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

00:01:41.360 Their message?

00:01:41.980 Putin, for his part, stated that he highly appreciated Xi's position

00:01:56.200 and confirmed Russia is, of course, still open to peace talks.

00:01:59.780 To all of our folks joining us from the great states of Utah and Idaho,

00:02:04.940 we've got some interesting news today from your states, we'll say.

00:02:09.140 The Democrat-controlled cities of Salt Lake City and Boise

00:02:11.620 have adopted new city flags this week,

00:02:14.140 showing their support for the LGBTQ plus people

00:02:17.380 in defiance of their state's Republican-controlled legislator,

00:02:20.900 which banned the traditional rainbow pride flags at schools and government buildings.

00:02:24.580 Our city flags are a powerful symbol representing Salt Lake City's values.

00:02:29.800 I want all Salt Lakers to look up to these flags and be reminded

00:02:33.000 that we value diversity, equity, and inclusion,

00:02:36.560 leaving no doubt that we are united as a city and people moving forward together.

00:02:40.540 That's the mayor of Salt Lake City.

00:02:42.680 The Salt Lake City Council had voted to approve the additional three new city flags

00:02:46.660 to be featured at the LGBTQ plus and June 13th designs at a meeting this week.

00:02:52.900 This measure from these rogue Marxist legislators 0.97

00:02:55.700 aims to sidestep violations by adopting these new flags as official city flags,

00:03:01.300 passing unanimously under current Utah law,

00:03:05.120 which went into effect on Wednesday.

00:03:06.360 State and local governments can be fined $500 a day

00:03:08.720 for flying any other flag aside from the American flag, the state flag,

00:03:12.660 a city or county flag, military flags, Olympic and Paralympic flags,

00:03:17.020 official college flags or tribal flags.

00:03:19.300 Political flags are not allowed.

00:03:20.700 Now, it's unclear if the Salt Lake City Council will face any litigation

00:03:24.500 due to the passage of these three new flags,

00:03:27.600 which commemorate Juneteenth and the acknowledgments of the city's LGBTQ plus residents

00:03:32.440 and their transgender community.

00:03:35.060 Boise, Idaho following in suit with a similar legislation.

00:03:38.700 Folks, this is what these people vote for.

00:03:41.540 I guess that's what you get.

00:03:43.100 Speaking of rogue Marxists,

00:03:44.720 Gavin Newsom's war on oil refineries

00:03:46.820 could push gas past $6 a gallon up to at least even $9 a gallon.

00:03:54.020 Unbelievable.

00:03:55.140 The Phillips 66 refinery in Los Angeles could close by the end of this year,

00:03:59.560 which would send prices skyrocketing above $6, according to a USC professor.

00:04:04.120 Also saying if the Valero refinery closed in the Bay Area,

00:04:07.560 also by the end of this year,

00:04:09.520 they could see gas prices as high as $9 in the Bay Area.

00:04:13.160 Gavin Newsom's spokesman said that the governor has directed the state

00:04:16.500 to incentivize collaboration with refineries to maintain a stable and affordable gas supply.

00:04:22.320 He doesn't actually mean that, because Gavin Newsom is a Marxist Dem.

00:04:26.280 And a new shock pullout from our good friends at Rasmussen

00:04:29.300 shedding some light on just how evil, 0.93

00:04:32.460 maniacal, and devilish the Marxist Dems are.

00:04:36.360 Since he's agreed to lead President Trump's effort to reduce government waste,

00:04:39.360 Elon Musk has become so hated by liberals that they overwhelmingly support

00:04:43.520 throwing Elon Musk in jail.

00:04:45.660 A new survey from Rasmussen finds that 54% of likely voters

00:04:48.960 would support a hypothetical law that would imprison Musk for his role

00:04:52.940 in the Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE,

00:04:56.340 including 39% who would strongly support such a law,

00:04:59.800 36% oppose a law that would send Musk to prison,

00:05:02.860 including 26% who strongly oppose it,

00:05:05.580 10% are unsure.

00:05:07.280 71% of Democrats would favor the hypothetical law that puts Musk in jail,

00:05:13.120 as would 80% of self-identified liberal voters,

00:05:16.660 54% of Republicans,

00:05:18.280 and 57% of voters that are conservative would oppose such a law.

00:05:23.360 Among voters not affiliated with either major party,

00:05:25.740 52% would support a law to imprison Musk for his role in DOGE,

00:05:30.020 34% oppose it,

00:05:31.500 17% unsure. 1.00

00:05:33.200 Folks, the Marxist Dems are sick, sick people. 0.99

00:05:35.320 We try to tell you that every day here, 1.00

00:05:37.540 but polls like this only shed more light on just how sick they are.
