00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, April 15th, folks.
00:00:05.180 April 15th, you all know what day it is.
00:00:08.220 As Americans, it's a day I think that we all try to escape since getting our first job,
00:00:13.360 minimum wage job, making five, six, seven bucks an hour.
00:00:17.100 The older generation making a few bucks an hour.
00:00:19.740 It's tax day, folks.
00:00:21.020 But the good news is, under this Trump administration,
00:00:24.140 there's been a few changes you may have heard about.
00:00:27.160 No tax on tip, deductibility on car loans for American-made cars.
00:00:32.800 Don't take my word for it.
00:00:33.840 Let's take a listen in to the head of Social Security, Frank Bezignano, as he laid out earlier today the massive, massive, massive changes to our tax code in the successful tax filing season because of this administration.
00:00:49.320 The landmark legislation led by President Trump and Secretary Besant and the Republicans now has over 53 million Americans who have had a deduction from it.
00:01:06.700 30 million, actually, the senior benefit, and that 6 million filers have had no tax on tip, 25 million filers had no tax on overtime, and over 30 million seniors, as I said, and 1 million for the car loan deduction.
00:01:32.380 When you look at all of this, it's the reason we talk about the historic refunds.
00:01:37.940 The largest amount of refunds, $80 million going out, and over $280 million to $180 billion in refunds.
00:01:48.400 We have 10% more people receiving a refund this year, while refunds on the absolute are up 11%.
00:01:57.920 Total refunds paid out are up 16%.
00:02:01.880 And for Trump accounts, another landmark legislation,
00:02:07.540 which is creating generations of the future's ability to be financially savvy
00:02:14.660 and be able to participate, 5 million have been opened up for dependents,
00:02:22.820 $1 million for newborns this year already, and our expectation is that will continue greatly.
00:02:31.420 All the great things that came, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, the deductibility of car loans,
00:02:37.700 and I think there's much, much more to come once we finish up this Iran war and get things back to America.
00:02:44.880 Just going out on the whim.
00:02:47.880 Now, folks, President Trump sat down with Maria Bartiromo this morning to talk a little bit about the economy, the administration, and more importantly, that Iran war.
00:02:57.380 President Trump saying that it's all but over in his opinion.
00:03:00.920 Take a listen.
00:03:02.100 I had to divert because if I didn't do that, right now you would have Iran with a nuclear weapon.
00:03:08.620 And if they had a nuclear weapon, you would be calling everybody over there, sir.
00:03:13.100 And you don't want to do that.
00:03:14.180 Well, you keep saying was. Is this war over?
00:03:17.460 I think it's close to over.
00:03:18.880 I mean, I view it as very close to over.
00:03:21.440 You know what?
00:03:22.820 If I pulled up stakes right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country.
00:03:28.880 And we're not finished.
00:03:30.780 We'll see what happens.
00:03:31.920 I think they want to make a deal very badly.
00:03:33.980 As I say, folks, it's now up to the Iranian folks, the IRGC, the Mullahs, the terrorists over there,
00:03:39.240 to figure out just what they want to do.
00:03:42.160 if they want to live in a society where they can live and trade,
00:03:46.800 or if they want to be alterned to ash, it's up to them.
00:03:50.160 And a big day, folks, for the January Sixers
00:03:53.040 and the people who have been abused by our justice system for far, far too long.
00:03:58.640 Judge Jeanine Pirro, as we used to know her on Fox News,
00:04:01.860 or currently the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia,
00:04:05.720 has upheld the law and dismissed the sedition charges against the Proud Boys.
00:04:10.120 These charges were designed and brought forth by the corrupt Biden regime
00:04:13.460 in efforts to lie and claim that January 6th was a seditious act
00:04:17.320 by the Proud Boys and President Trump.
00:04:20.060 The people who put these charges hoped to use the guilty pleas
00:04:23.900 as support to do the same to President Trump.
00:04:27.680 Fortunately, it didn't work, thanks to Judge Dean Pirro,
00:04:31.540 the Justice Department, Todd Blanche,
00:04:33.580 upholding truth, justice, and the American way in this country,
