00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, April 6th.
00:00:05.080 Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter spent with your family and loved ones.
00:00:10.500 Truly appreciate you guys joining us here for this Monday edition of the Great America Show midday update.
00:00:16.640 President Trump, just a few hours ago at the White House, speaking with the media, addressing Iran and the ultimatum that they now have.
00:00:24.460 It's not looking good for Iran
00:00:27.040 They've got less than 24 hours now
00:00:29.920 To make a decision on where they want to sit
00:00:33.440 In this war
00:00:35.100 As President Trump has had enough
00:00:36.960 And looks now to totally obliterate the country
00:00:39.660 Take a listen
00:00:40.680 This is a critical period
00:00:42.200 They have a period of, well
00:00:44.580 Till tomorrow at 8 o'clock
00:00:47.100 I gave them an extension
00:00:49.040 They asked for an extension of 7 days, right?
00:00:51.760 I said, Steve
00:00:53.320 give them 10 days 10 days is up actually today so i gave them 11 i guess indirectly
00:01:00.900 i thought it was inappropriate the day after easter i want to be a nice person uh they have
00:01:07.720 till tomorrow now we'll see what happens i can tell you they're negotiating we think in good
00:01:13.320 faith we're going to find out we're getting the help of some incredible countries that want this
00:01:19.500 to be ended because it affects them also. A lot of people are affected by this, but we're giving
00:01:25.780 them, we're giving them till tomorrow, eight o'clock Eastern time. And after that, they're
00:01:33.100 going to have no bridges. They're going to have no power plants. President Trump then went a little
00:01:38.080 bit further to lay out the plan on what he's going to do to the bridges and to the power plants
00:01:44.060 should iran not come to the table in just a few hours take a listen we have a plan because of the
00:01:52.560 power of our military where every bridge in iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night
00:02:01.360 where every power plant in iran will be out of business burning exploding and never to be used
00:02:09.580 again i mean complete demolition by 12 o'clock and it'll happen over a period of four hours if
00:02:15.880 we wanted to we don't want that to happen we may even get involved with helping them rebuild their
00:02:22.080 nation and you know what if that's the case the last thing we want to do is start with power plants
00:02:27.360 which are among the most expensive thing and bridges you saw the bridge the bridge one we were
00:02:32.920 very close to a deal and then i got a call from mr whitkov mr kushner and jd saying i think they're
00:02:44.200 breaking the deal i said tell them that's okay don't worry about it but tell them to look out
00:02:49.680 their window and watch and within 45 minutes i gave the order to knock out the biggest bridge
00:02:56.360 i gave the order knock out the biggest bridge in i believe the middle east but the biggest bridge
00:03:01.700 in iran and within 10 minutes after i gave that order that bridge was was over so so do i want to
00:03:11.280 do that no do i want to destroy their infrastructure no it will take them a hundred years to rebuild
00:03:17.640 right now if we left today it would take them 20 years to rebuild their country and it would never
00:03:25.040 be as good as it was and the only way they're going to be able to rebuild their country
00:03:28.720 is to utilize the genius of the United States of America.
00:03:32.420 And there you have it.
00:03:33.220 They either come to the table or they face total obliteration.
00:03:36.760 It's going to be up to them how they decide to play this out.
00:03:40.440 As it seems, President Trump has, as I said, finally hit a breaking point in this war.
00:03:45.680 Now, according to Reuters, Iranian officials have outlined a 10-point counterproposal
00:03:50.440 for a ceasefire that lays out they want a full and permanent end to all hostilities,
00:03:56.260 immediate lifting of all crippling U.S. sanctions on Iran, the establishing of a new security framework in the region
00:04:02.900 that would neuter Americans' allies and legitimize Iran's terror proxies,
00:04:08.040 iron-clared guarantees for safe passage through the state of Hormuz under Iranian terms, of course,
00:04:13.260 mastered Western-funded reconstruction commitments to repair the damage from their own stupidity, I guess is the nice way to put it,
00:04:21.140 No restrictions whatsoever on Iran's nuclear weapons program, an end to any curbs on its ballistic missiles development, U.S. withdrawal of any forces from key areas of the Persian Gulf, reparations of payments for damages caused by President Trump's targets and strikes, and formal recognitions of Iran's legitimate, what they say legitimate, influence across the Middle East, including Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas terror networks.
00:04:45.920 Something tells me President Trump is going to tell them to go kick some really, really heavy rocks.
00:04:51.840 I don't think there's any shot in this world where America and President Trump or the rest of the world agrees on to something so idiotic.
00:05:00.820 Because after all, Iran does not hold the cards.
