Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, August 26th.
00:00:05.780
President Trump making an unannounced stop to Arlington National Cemetery this morning
00:00:09.720
to honor those 13 U.S. service members killed in the Biden-botched Afghan withdrawal.
00:00:15.500
Today marks the three-year anniversary of those U.S. service members being killed
00:00:22.000
Notably missing at the memorial were Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Tim Walls.
00:00:25.820
Joe Biden remains on vacation at his Rehoboth Beach vacation house, while Kamala and Tim
00:00:30.600
simply couldn't be bothered to take any time out of their campaign schedule to pay their tributes.
00:00:36.420
Marxist AG Merrick Garland issuing a threat this week to anyone who dared challenge the results of the
00:00:41.700
upcoming 2024 election. He was asked in a press conference if he was worried about the potential
00:00:46.700
transfer of power come January. Garland bragging to a report about his 1,500-plus January 6th political
00:00:53.400
prisoners who have been persecuted under his DOJ. Take a listen to this Marxist.
00:00:58.440
I think our prosecutions have made clear what we think about people who try to interfere with the
00:01:05.260
peaceful transfer of power, which is an essential and fundamental element of our democracy.
00:01:12.500
I quibble about whether we have 1,500 or slightly less than 1,500, but we have way more than 1,400 now
00:01:19.500
prosecutions, and we have a substantial number of convictions. I think that's shown to everybody
00:01:24.720
how seriously we take an effort to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. The last January 6th,
00:01:31.960
the coming January 6th, and every January 6th after that. I want to make clear to anybody who
00:01:38.240
is thinking about interfering with that, they can see what we've done with respect to the January 6th
00:01:43.540
prosecutions, and the Justice Department will continue to protect our democracy.
00:01:47.600
Garland couldn't help himself but to brag about his department's abuse of power. What he forgot to
00:01:52.880
mention was how the Supreme Court rebuffed him and his rogue prosecutors when they struck down that
00:01:57.700
1512c obstruction of official proceeding charge, saying the DOJ can't use it to overcharge those
00:02:03.900
J6 political hostages. NASA announcing this week they will need Elon Musk's help to get those two
00:02:11.060
stranded astronauts down from the space station. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced at a press
00:02:16.480
conference that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will return back to Earth in February of
00:02:21.760
next year on the SpaceX Crew-9 mission. Those astronauts blasted off from Florida on June 5th and
00:02:28.340
they were initially slated to return back to Earth on June 13th, but during the astronauts 25-hour flight
00:02:34.100
to space, engineers realized that the Boeing Starliner spacecraft was experiencing problems with its
00:02:39.560
thrusters and experiencing helium leaks. Just another thing to add to the list of things wrong with
00:02:44.720
Boeing. Be sure to join us for today's episode of The Great America Show. Our guest is political
