00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Tuesday, April 21st.
00:00:04.860 Happy Tuesday, folks.
00:00:06.260 The National Republican Congressional Committee, also known as the NRCC,
00:00:10.480 raked in a record $47 million in the first quarter for 2026,
00:00:15.600 topping their marks of STEM counterparts by nearly $2 million ahead of the midterm elections.
00:00:21.020 The hefty sum was boosted by March fundraising by the NRCC
00:00:23.980 and the highest it's ever recorded with $28 million in campaign,
00:00:27.560 capping off the quarter for the house gop campaign arm the nrcc has raised a total of 164 just over
00:00:34.840 164 million dollars during the current cycle has about 78 million dollars cash on hand less than
00:00:40.860 seven months to go until the midterm elections congressional republicans have outraised the
00:00:45.140 democrats on average for five straight quarters according to the latest data the group noted that
00:00:50.640 this is the first time in a decade that they've outraised house democrat campaign arms in the
00:00:55.000 first year of an election cycle. The DCCC, which is probably one of the most corrupt organizations
00:01:00.080 in a long time that we've seen, ended the first quarter about $45 million raised. To put it all
00:01:05.420 in perspective, between President Trump's fundraising, the NRCC, and the Senate Committee
00:01:11.000 for Republicans, have about $808 million raised, whereas Democrats, after their DNC debt, because
00:01:19.100 are still paying off Kamala's campaign have just about 240 million dollars so a stark contrast
00:01:25.860 there folks the Democrats don't donate to their own kind as heavily as the Republicans do so
00:01:32.840 Texas Attorney General Ken Pax ensued Act Blue the Democrat fundraising platform for deceiving
00:01:38.320 Americans by lying about its donation process that allowed fraudulent and foreign donations
00:01:42.840 which is exactly what the Democrats accused President Trump of in 2016 with the Russia
00:01:47.980 collusion hoax this was following an internal investigation that proved that act blue continues
00:01:53.000 to process gift card donations without providing or proving identification of the donor highly
00:01:59.260 illegal folks straw donors people have went to jail over it highly illegal now that same day as
00:02:05.880 the lawsuit the house judiciary committee deposed five employees after their subpoenas were issued
00:02:10.100 to two employees in june of 2025 by congressman jim jordan brian steel and james comer the recent
00:02:16.420 depositions included top staffers responsible for fraud prevention and sought to learn more
00:02:20.960 about the platform's acceptance of illegal donations and subsequent cover-up according
00:02:25.840 to the House Judiciary Committee. The House Judiciary Committee had a little bit of a tough
00:02:31.760 time I guess you can say as the five Act Blue employees pled the fifth on 146 questions during
00:02:40.940 the depositions every member of the legal and compliance was fired quit or extended leave 0.97
00:02:46.440 from the platform in 2025 think about that folks speaking of the marxist dreams and their corruption
00:02:52.800 president trump has sounded the alarm of virginia's radical dem scheme to hijack the 2026
00:02:58.360 congressional redrawing to steal seats from the republicans ahead of the midterms voting is
00:03:02.820 underway right now in virginia folks they're heading to the polls today on the special election
00:03:07.460 referendum that could flip the state's congressional delegation from a competitive six to five
00:03:12.000 democrat edge to a 10 to one bloodbath so if you live in virginia folks very big day tell your
00:03:19.300 friends who live in virginia they got to get the heck out there and they got to vote vote vote and
00:03:24.380 vote some more john thune is determined to bring the democrats into power for decades to come
00:03:29.600 he hates mega voters so much that he will not pass the save act thune is a traitor and yet another
00:03:35.900 blatant betrayal of president trump in the america first agenda john thune has once again shown his
00:03:40.780 true rhino colors by flatly refusing to make any changes to the senate rules that would allow the
00:03:46.700 critical save act to pass now this comes as president trump has now started to ramp up the
00:03:51.400 pressure on the gop establishment to secure our elections before the midterms but thune is more
00:03:56.160 interested in protecting the swamp than fighting for the american people the stonewalling directly
00:04:01.080 undermines president trump's urgent call to pass the save act which would crack down on voter fraud
00:04:05.940 and ensure only american citizens are voting in our elections with all that we've seen with all
