00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, August 27th.
00:00:05.720 Jack Smith, Junkyard Jackal, former special counsel, lashing out at the office of the special counsel for its investigation
00:00:11.880 into his possible violations of the Hatch Act and his possible illegal political activity.
00:00:18.100 Earlier this month, it was reported that the office of special counsel has launched an investigation into Jack Smith
00:00:22.640 for possible violations of the Hatch Act.
00:00:25.080 Smith was appointed as special counsel in 2022 by Joe Biden. Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped him to investigate Trump
00:00:32.320 just one day after President Trump announced his 2024 bid for the White House.
00:00:37.040 The office of special counsel opened the investigation after Senator Tom Cotton sent a letter alleging Jack Smith's actions
00:00:42.940 politically harmed President Trump during the 2024 election.
00:00:46.740 We all knew it was political witch hunt. It was a sham.
00:00:50.320 It's what they've done to this man for the last 10 years and they've continued to do it and they've lost every single time and will continue to lose.
00:00:57.160 Jack Smith, of course, indicted President Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami in June of 2023 for lawfully storing presidential records
00:01:04.440 at his Mar-a-Lago estate, which was, of course, protected by Secret Service agents.
00:01:09.560 Trump was charged with 31 counts under the Espionage Act of willful retention of national defense information
00:01:14.440 and six other process crimes stemming for his conversations with lawyers.
00:01:19.980 That's right. Attorney-client privilege doesn't exist if your name or your last name is Trump.
00:01:25.360 The junkyard jackal, Jack Smith, has got to be investigated for his role in what I think is election interference.
00:01:32.180 Lisa Cook is preparing to file a lawsuit after President Trump fired her as Federal Reserve Governor.
00:01:36.800 Her firing comes and in mortgage fraud allegations. Yes, another Democrat possibly partaking in mortgage fraud.
00:01:44.520 Special Prosecutor Ed Martin is currently investigating Cook for mortgage fraud and falsifying bank statements.
00:01:49.800 According to housing regulator Bill Pulte, criminal referral that he just recently filed,
00:01:54.780 Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by lying on her mortgage application and falsifying bank statements
00:01:59.100 when she designated her out-of-state Atlanta condo as her primary residence.
00:02:03.200 Just two weeks after taking a loan out on her Michigan home, which she also claimed was her primary resident.
00:02:09.540 Now, conveniently, within weeks of signing these mortgage documents,
00:02:13.420 Cook also listed one of the properties on Zillow to be rented.
00:02:17.120 I don't know anybody who lists their primary resident on Zillow to be rented while they're living there as a primary resident.
00:02:24.820 Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't make much sense.
00:02:27.280 And in a new effort to boost American ingenuity and put United States back at the forefront of technology,
00:02:34.040 First Lady Melania Trump has unveiled the nationwide Presidential AI Challenge,
00:02:38.700 inviting students from kindergarten through 12th grade to harness artificial intelligence to solve real-world problems.
00:02:45.480 It's the first-of-its-kind competition to bring students together, educators and supervisors,
00:02:50.300 in a team to create AI-powered solutions for issues in their schools or community.
00:02:54.800 Melania Trump, in just over six months, doing more than, quote, Dr., end quote, Jill Biden did in four years.
00:03:03.920 Dr. That's at least that's what she calls herself. 1.00
00:03:06.780 And President Trump is celebrating Cracker Barrel, keeping their logo, their slogan,
00:03:12.180 and not changing the old country store that they were originally set to do.
00:03:16.140 Latest efforts by Cracker Barrel to go woke,
00:03:18.480 facing massive backlash from the American people, from shareholders,
00:03:23.560 selling off nearly $100 million in the hours after releasing their new plan,
00:03:28.660 which would scrap the old logo,
00:03:30.640 and a lot of what Cracker Barrel stands for.
00:03:33.280 Great on the American people for standing up and fighting what matters in this country and not going woke.
00:03:39.880 President Donald Trump announced that current Director of National Intelligence,
00:03:43.020 Tulsi Gabbard, has uncovered bags, ready for this, of hidden documents related to corruption in the 2020 election.
00:03:51.000 President Trump, speaking in front of his administration as they continue a historic federal crime crackdown
00:03:55.260 in Washington, D.C., and push for peace negotiations in Russia and Ukraine,
00:04:00.280 directly addressed the bombshell findings.
00:04:02.820 According to the statement by President Trump,
00:04:04.980 these files contain, quote,
00:04:05.980 massive evidence of wrongdoing and soon will be made public.
00:04:10.540 Take a listen.
00:04:11.360 ...telling the truth is what will drive true accountability for the American people who deserve nothing less.
00:04:18.900 And lastly, Mr. President, all of us are charged with being good stewards of taxpayer dollars.
00:04:23.740 I've gone through a reorganization for ODNI that we've announced last week.
00:04:29.140 We've cut nearly half of redundant, unnecessary functions within ODNI,
00:04:35.080 saving taxpayers over $700 million a year.
00:04:38.760 We will continue focusing on our core mission in keeping the American people safe
00:04:44.140 and appreciate your leadership and your focus on this most critical task.
00:04:48.700 And you've also found many bags of information.
00:04:53.820 I think they call them burn bags.
00:04:55.260 They're supposed to be burned and they didn't get burned having to do with how corrupt the 2020 election was.
00:05:02.200 And when will that all come out?
00:05:04.480 Mr. President, I will be the first to brief you once we have that information collected.
00:05:09.580 But you're right.
00:05:10.260 It's it's we are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes and random offices in these bags and in other areas,
00:05:19.940 which, again, speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people
00:05:24.520 and trying to cover up the politicization that was led by people like John Brennan and James Clapper and others
00:05:32.260 that have caused really immeasurable harm to the American people and to our country.
00:05:37.060 Tulsi Gabbard, as I often say, probably the president's best pick in his cabinet doing the Lord's work with disposing these corrupt scumbags
00:05:46.200 who have infiltrated our society, our justice system and every facet of the government.
00:05:51.760 Jamie Raskin, or as I like to call him, Jamie Ratskin, accusing President Trump.
00:05:57.180 You ready for this?
00:05:57.920 Of trying to militarize our society and intimidate his political opponents.
00:06:04.800 This is the idiot who sat on the sham January 6th committee and perpetrated lies and used his congressional immunity to lie and never be held responsible for it.
00:06:14.840 Raskin also says that crime is part of our society and it's very normal.
00:06:20.480 It's always been part of our history is exactly what he said.
00:06:23.260 Take a listen to this numbskull.
00:06:24.480 He's trying to militarize our society, intimidate its political opponents.
00:06:30.020 The whole idea of picking cities based on their partisan leadership is absurd.
00:06:35.980 I mean, there are lots of Republican cities in town struggling with crime.
00:06:40.240 Everybody is across the country.
00:06:41.900 Always.
00:06:42.560 Crime has always been part of our history.
00:06:46.740 And yet crime is down.
00:06:48.500 In D.C., for example, it's at a 30-year low.
00:06:52.160 It's down in Baltimore.
00:06:53.360 It's down in Chicago.
00:06:54.640 But the point is that in our system of federalism, the different branches of government and the different departments of government are supposed to work together.
00:07:01.500 If Donald Trump thinks he's got some great ideas for Chicago or Miami or Houston, Texas or whatever, he should call a summit for the White House and say,
00:07:11.520 hey, here's some ideas where the feds can work together with states and localities, not have a series of rolling National Guard invasions of people's cities.
00:07:19.740 That man truly has a double-digit IQ.
00:07:23.240 I think we already knew that, though.
00:07:25.120 Please be sure to join us tonight and each and every night, 6 p.m. Eastern time for The Great America Show.
00:07:29.060 We'll see you there tonight.
00:07:30.020 Rumble YouTube, Twitter, wherever you join us.
00:07:32.140 6 p.m. sharp.
00:07:33.020 We'll see you there.
00:07:33.860 I'm John Fossett with this Midday Update.
