00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, April 22nd.
00:00:04.740 Happy Wednesday, folks.
00:00:06.320 The Dems caught with their hands in the cookie jar once again, caught cheating once again last night
00:00:11.380 in that scam of a gerrymander in Virginia.
00:00:16.320 Democrats may want to hold off on drinking too much champagne after the result of the Commonwealth of Virginia
00:00:21.240 because President Trump may have something up his sleeve to turn their cheers into tears.
00:00:26.460 Virginia voters last night narrowly passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit the Marxist Dems and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans.
00:00:37.040 The map goes from a perfectly drawn 6-5 Dem-GOP split to a whopping 10-1 advantage for Team Marxist Dem.
00:00:46.000 Far-left Nova will essentially run the state, having a 6 of the 11 representatives.
00:00:51.520 Governor Abigail Spanberger lied to the people of Virginia on the campaign trail
00:00:55.860 Saying that she would not back this
00:00:57.540 It was almost the first thing she did once taking office
00:01:00.960 Now the scam and gerrymandering is almost sure to backfire
00:01:04.140 And as I said, waiting on the Supreme Court and many other aspects
00:01:07.820 But Governor Ron DeSantis, who's trying to make a name for himself
00:01:11.380 And trying to rebuild his image
00:01:12.760 I think he's been doing a pretty damn good job at it
00:01:15.260 May have a little bit of a plan in Florida
00:01:17.620 And Hakeem Jeffries is not happy about it 1.00
00:01:21.140 Take a listen to this hypocritical scum of Jeffries earlier this morning 0.99
00:01:24.840 vowing to go after DeSantis should he try to redistrict Florida 1.00
00:01:29.640 as we literally witnessed last night gerrymandering at its finest in Virginia.
00:01:34.620 Take a listen.
00:01:35.160 Our message to Florida Republicans is F around and find out.
00:01:41.120 If they go down the road of a DeSantis dummymander,
00:01:45.660 the Florida Republicans are going to find themselves in the same situation as Texas Republicans.
00:01:51.140 who are on the run right now, and under no circumstances are Texas Republicans picking up five seats.
00:01:58.460 They'll be fortunate if they get two or three.
00:02:02.900 While in California, we are going to get all five.
00:02:08.360 The Republicans are dummy-mandering their way into the minority before a single vote is cast,
00:02:15.320 because they started this war, and we're going to finish it.
00:02:20.080 The electoral tide is turning in Florida.
00:02:23.820 As Chairwoman DelBene illustrated, we won the Miami mayor's race in December for the first time in almost 30 years by 20 points.
00:02:34.840 And now Eileen Higgins is mayor in a city that's 75% Latino, including Cuban-Americans and Venezuelan-Americans, amongst some of the more conservative members of the Latino community in the nation.
00:02:53.700 But the city of Miami, for the first time in three decades, broke heavily in our direction.
00:02:58.560 We flipped a seat in Mar-a-Lago, of all places, when Donald Trump endorsed the Republican candidate and Republicans went all in.
00:03:07.820 And we also won a seat in that same special election last month in central Texas in the Tampa Bay area.
00:03:20.040 The signs are there, which is why there are many Republicans within the congressional delegation who have already publicly said in Florida to their governor and to the White House, it would be a mistake to go into Florida and do a DeSantis dummy man dirt.
00:03:39.860 We agree, but go ahead and make our day.
00:03:44.660 We are all in in Florida.
00:03:47.820 and it's Republicans who are putting a target
00:03:51.720 on the backs of their own members politically
00:03:54.020 at this moment in time.
00:03:58.220 Last question.
00:04:00.480 Folks, when Hakeem is speaking,
00:04:03.560 you know he's lying.
00:04:05.060 He said the tides were turning in Florida?
00:04:07.780 What is he talking about?
00:04:09.840 Just about a year ago,
00:04:11.060 President Trump won the state of Florida
00:04:12.520 with the most votes in history, folks.
00:04:15.320 6.1 million in the 2024 election.
00:04:18.340 Guess who held the record before that?
00:04:20.040 Oh, it was Donald Trump in 2020 at 5.6 million, almost 5.7 million, actually, to make it a little bit more accurate.
00:04:27.760 And who held it before that?
00:04:29.140 Oh, it was Donald Trump, once again, in 2016 with 4.6 million.
00:04:33.320 So what the heck is he talking about?
00:04:35.620 Now, Ron DeSantis, to his credit, is standing his ground, and he ain't worried about Hakeem, nor should any of us be worried of Hakeem, who's fighting to save his job right now.
00:04:46.060 Take a listen to Governor DeSantis.
00:04:47.320 is welcoming good old Hakeem to the Sunshine State. 0.99
00:04:51.040 This guy Jeffrey's popping off in Washington about Florida.
00:04:56.520 He wants to be Speaker of the House,
00:04:59.200 and he's kind of like more liberal than Pelosi
00:05:02.980 and all this other stuff from New York City.
00:05:05.320 I just want to know, I just, oh, Florida, we're going to go after Florida.
00:05:09.680 Please be my guest.
00:05:11.100 I will pay for you to come down to Florida and campaign.
00:05:14.300 I'll put you up in the Florida governor's mansion.
00:05:16.620 We'll take you fishing. We'll do all this stuff.
00:05:20.040 There's nothing that could be better for Republicans in Florida than to see Jeffries, Hakeem Jeffries, everywhere around this state.
00:05:29.940 Voters will not like what they see. They will not want that type of ideology.
00:05:34.220 And so the door is open. The invitation's out there.
00:05:38.040 I don't think there'd be anything better for the Republican Party of Florida but to have Jeffries there.
00:05:42.480 Now, I kind of feel bad for the guy because he's as left as they come.
00:05:46.180 He's always going left. And yet the far left hates him. You know, they call him a dollar store Obama.
00:05:52.560 They call him APAC Shakur, all these different derogatory names that they do.
00:05:57.600 And so he's tried to ingratiate himself with there, but they're just not drinking the Kool-Aid.
00:06:02.300 And so they give him a hard time. So I kind of feel bad for that. But please be my guest to come down in Florida.
00:06:07.680 We would love to have you. Not a worry in the world from Governor DeSantis or should be anybody.
