00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm Lou Dobbs with The Great America Show midday update for Thursday, April 11th.
00:00:06.500 O.J. Simpson dead at the age of 76 after losing a battle to cancer.
00:00:12.500 Simpson announced back in February he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer,
00:00:17.300 but just last week released a video saying he believed the cancer was clear.
00:00:22.120 Simpson gained the spotlight as an All-American running back for the USC Trojans,
00:00:27.120 won the Heisman Trophy his senior season after graduating selected by the Buffalo Bills
00:00:32.700 as the number one overall pick in the 1969 draft.
00:00:37.080 He went on to play for 10 years, ending his career with 11,000 rushing yards.
00:00:43.180 And House Speaker Mike Johnson is explaining himself after an embarrassing blow
00:00:47.600 to the Republican Rhino establishment's FISA bill.
00:00:52.320 Johnson, who's either compromised, confused, intimidated, or all of the above,
00:00:57.640 says his flip-flop in support of the FISA renewal came after he received
00:01:01.840 a classified briefing about the need for FISA.
00:01:05.800 The man is an utter and complete joke.
00:01:08.240 As a speaker, he is a tool.
00:01:11.200 And depending on what happens in November,
00:01:13.180 it may be time for the Republicans to move on from Johnson.
00:01:16.700 I think it is already time, frankly.
00:01:19.520 He is an absolute fool.
00:01:21.320 A new brief filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith this week
00:01:25.140 shows the junkyard jackal may be sweating just a little.
00:01:29.400 Smith argued that even if the Supreme Court agrees with a recent challenge
00:01:33.600 brought by several defendants charged with obstructing Congress's work on January 6th of 2021,
00:01:40.740 the charges against President Trump rely on the same law but would still survive.
00:01:46.220 Smith says the false elector scheme saves Trump obstruction charges.
00:01:51.440 Not sure I would take the word of a man who's already embarrassingly been overturned by the Supreme Court before.
00:01:58.520 He is simply a junkyard jackal and has nothing in the way of justice in mind,
00:02:05.580 only, only his attacks on Donald Trump.
00:02:09.700 Join us today for The Great America Show.
00:02:12.400 Our guest is former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice William Gableman.

00:02:19.960 He's been there in Madison, Wisconsin for 30 years,
00:02:23.140 and Gableman and others say it's time to get the man out of office.
