The Great America Show - Mid-Day Update： April 30, 2026

00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Foster with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, April 30th.

00:00:04.580 Happy Thursday, folks. The weekend is almost here.

00:00:07.560 Just moments ago, the House of Representatives voted to pass the Senate-approved package

00:00:11.800 to fund the Department of Homeland Security by voice vote, ending the 75-day shutdown.

00:00:17.860 ICE and Border Patrol will be funded separately.

00:00:20.800 The bill is now heading to President Trump's desk.

00:00:23.820 This is a move, folks, in the right direction.

00:00:26.160 Senate Republicans have unveiled and adopted the budget blueprint last week.

00:00:30.040 Republicans are trying to meet President Trump's June deadline to fund immigration,

00:00:34.420 customs enforcement, and Border Patrol and end the funding lapse that has shut down

00:00:38.460 the Department of Homeland Security since February.

00:00:41.320 The resolution cleared the House 215-211 vote.

00:00:43.860 It directs the committees that oversee ICE and Border Patrol to draft legislation to deliver

00:00:49.020 about $70 billion to agencies.

00:00:51.640 Adoption of the budget plan simply allows lawmakers to begin their work crafting legislation

00:00:55.440 to fund these agencies which both chambers will need to later approve the house voted on the

00:01:01.060 senate approved packages and so we wait for the marxist dems to begin to fund our essential

00:01:07.160 government needs turning out to an update on the battle for iran president trump in a press

00:01:14.600 conference saying that we have the straight of our moves completely folks completely foolproof

00:01:20.840 and that nothing is coming by take a listen the blockade is genius okay the blockade has been 100

00:01:28.480 percent foolproof it shows how good our navy is i can tell you that nobody's going to play games

00:01:33.060 we have the greatest military in the world and i built much of it during my first term and we've

00:01:38.740 been building it since and the greatest anywhere in the world nobody even close and uh and you see

00:01:44.980 that, whether it's Venezuela

00:01:46.980 which, and

00:01:48.680 they have a good military in Venezuela

00:01:50.600 but it was over in one day, it was actually over

00:01:52.760 in about 48 minutes

00:01:54.020 Iran, the same thing 1.00

00:01:56.960 I mean, militarily, we've wiped them out 1.00

00:01:58.680 they have no military left

00:01:59.880 it's all, the Navy's at the bottom

00:02:02.820 of the sea, the Air Force is

00:02:04.360 never going to fly again

00:02:05.920 we've got an amazing

00:02:09.120 military, now they have

00:02:10.920 to cry uncle, that's all

00:02:12.900 they have to do, just say

00:02:14.080 we give up we give up but their economy is really in trouble it's a it's a it's a dead economy

00:02:22.580 president trump also says that he's done sending over our negotiators uh but he says iran has come

00:02:28.760 a long way if they want to make a deal they knew who to call and when to call take a listen

00:02:34.340 depends we have talks we're having talks over now and we're not flying anymore with 18 hour

00:02:39.680 flights every time we want to see a piece of paper we're doing it telephonically and it's very nice

00:02:45.860 i make a call or i have my people make a call and you know the answer i always like face to face

00:02:53.480 you know i consider it better but when you have to fly 18 hours every time you want to have a

00:02:58.460 meeting and you know what the meeting is all about and you know they're going to give you a piece of

00:03:04.460 paper that you don't like before you even leave. It's ridiculous. They've come a long way. The 0.96

00:03:10.120 question is whether or not they're going to go far enough. So at this moment, there will never

00:03:15.180 be a deal unless they agree that there will be no nuclear weapons. And as I say, folks, now we just

00:03:21.820 wait for the Iranians to make up their mind if they want to live or not live. The Senate unanimously 1.00

00:03:27.480 voting this afternoon to ban senators and their staff from trading on prediction, Marcus, it's a

00:03:33.320 practice that has gone under growing scrutiny on Capitol Hill in recent months. The resolution

00:03:38.820 spearheaded by Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio prohibits senators and staff from using prediction

00:03:44.140 markets, and it goes into effect immediately. Minority leader Chuck Schumer said it was a good

00:03:49.120 thing that the Senate is moving swiftly, urging the House and the administration to enact similar

00:03:53.840 rules. Well, Chuck, I hate to break it to you, but whatever passes in the Senate also has to get

00:03:59.080 passed in the house and then has to be sent to the president's desk it's apparent after being

00:04:04.820 there for a hundred years chuck schumer still doesn't know how government works to no surprise

00:04:12.060 and turning to some news now on the latest with the white house correspondence shooter cole allen

00:04:16.960 california man charged with attempting to assassinate president trump at saturday's

00:04:21.520 white house correspondence center will remain detained pending trial after he declined to

00:04:25.800 contest the government's efforts to keep him locked up. Asking it to be released would have

00:04:30.700 been an uphill climb for Allen given the grave charges against him and the evidence that he

00:04:35.020 charged the room with the full of government senior officials while being armed. He could

00:04:39.660 challenge his pretrial detention later as he reviews more government evidence against him, but

00:04:43.960 it seems to be Mr. Allen is rotting in a jail cell right now just where he should be. Folks,
