Trump is the most influential president of this century and perhaps the last century too. CNN's own chief analyst, Harry Enten, couldn't hide the facts any longer during a jaw dropping segment this week. The fake news network that spent years spewing anti-Trump propaganda has finally been forced to admit the undeniable truth. And that is that President Donald J. Trump is the Most Influential President of this Century.
00:00:00.000Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, August 4th.
00:00:04.960Happy Monday, folks. It's great to be back, fully back to work and back in America.
00:00:09.680Donald Trump is the most consequential and most influential president of this century and perhaps last century, too.
00:00:17.500Don't take my word for it or anybody else's. Well, take CNN's word for it.
00:00:21.840The fake news network that spent years spewing anti-Trump propaganda has been forced to admit the undeniable truth.
00:00:29.300And that is that President Donald J. Trump is the most influential president of this century.
00:00:35.440The very same CNN that pushed the Russia collusion hoax, the impeachment sham, and every other witch hunt against our great leader and now singing his praises.
00:00:45.240The admission comes straight from CNN's own chief analyst, Harry Enten, who couldn't hide the facts any longer during a jaw-dropping segment this week.
00:00:56.440The Donald Trump administration is arguably the most influential this century and probably as well dating back a good portion of the last century as well.
00:01:05.700Love it, like it, lump it. Trump is remaking in the United States of America.
00:01:09.260Let's talk about tariffs first, right?
00:01:11.020There's all this talk that Donald Trump always chickens out when it comes to tariffs.
00:01:15.460Uh-uh. No tacos for Trump. The effective tariff rate. Get this.
00:01:18.720It's 18 percent. The highest. The highest since the FDR administration in the 1930s, up from, get this, just 2 percent last year.
00:01:27.260From just 2 percent last year, we're talking about a level, an effective tariff rate level.
00:01:32.320Get this. Nine times as high this year than last year.
00:01:36.020But it's not just on tariffs, which, of course, Donald Trump ran on, in which you're seeing a tremendously influential presidency.
00:01:41.580What about immigration? Of course, Trump ran and has always run on a very hawkish immigration platform.
00:01:48.340Get this. 2025 net migration in the United States down at least 60 percent from last year.
00:01:54.000In fact, we may be heading for the first time in at least 50 years in which we have net negative, net negative migration into the United States.
00:02:03.020And last year, of course, in 2024, the net migration in the U.S. was 2.8 million.
00:02:08.440This year, we might be talking about negative net migration. My goodness gracious.
00:02:12.720Now, of course, this is part of the larger story, as I was mentioning.
00:02:16.840We're talking about immigration, net migration. We're talking about the effective tariff rate.
00:02:21.760But get this. How is Donald Trump doing it?
00:02:23.780Well, he is signing a ton of executive orders.
00:02:26.760Get this. 180, the most in a year since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
00:02:33.100Oh, my goodness. You have to go back to the first half of the 20th century, the last century.
00:02:37.700And to make a comparison, Joe Biden signed, get this, just 77 during his entire first year.
00:02:43.460And we're only a little bit in August so far.
00:02:45.920And Donald Trump making history with 180, 180 executive orders signed so far this year.
00:02:52.160So that's why I said that, in my mind, Donald Trump is the most influential president of this century and probably dating back a good portion of the last century.
00:03:00.520That is because he is remaking the country in terms of tariffs.
00:03:04.340He is remaking the country in terms of net migration.
00:03:07.120And he is remaking the country in terms of how much policy changes he's putting through in executive orders.
00:03:12.620As I said, it truly is history making.
00:03:31.960You often hear me talking about how Lou Dobbs is always ahead of the curve and always right, just about everything, which I always had a hard time letting him know.
00:03:39.800But I know he's in heaven right now, smiling down, seeing all the great work that President Trump is doing, and knowing that he was right once again.
00:03:51.920And down south in Florida, the illegal aliens at President Trump's Alligator Alcatraz, they're not having a fun time.
00:03:59.940A group of detained illegals at that South Florida facility, which is dubbed Alligator Alcatraz, have entered their 10th day of a so-called hunger strike.
00:04:08.820These detainees, many of them with criminal backgrounds, are whining about, quote, inhumane conditions while refusing food, all in a bid to game the system, to avoid rightful deportation.
00:04:22.160Radical and Marxist Dems are using this manufactured crisis to bash President Trump's tough-on-crime policies, but they had nothing to say when this crisis was being manufactured by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the rest of the Marxist Dems.
00:04:34.620These illegal criminals are demanding VIP treatment, and they're just not going to get it.
00:04:40.440CIA Director John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Cash Patel are set to release more damning documents proving the FBI covered up Clinton's collusion hoax while amplifying the Steele dossier.
00:04:52.980We can expect those documents to come out either late this week or early next week.
00:04:56.720More exposure on how our FBI under James Comey sought to undermine democracy.
00:05:04.260You often hear the Democrats say that.
00:05:05.800Well, they're the ones who constantly seek to undermine democracy.
00:05:09.920Speaking of the agency, Secret Service has abruptly halted security clearance renewal for the former director of Secret Service, Kimberly Cheadle.
00:05:17.720The Secret Service was moving forward with renewing former director Cheadle's top-level security clearance, but the reversal came after RealClearPolitics inquired about a key senator's opposition, according to multiple sources, inside the Secret Service community.
00:05:32.400That's Senator Ron Johnson, who chairs the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and previously chaired the full Homeland Security panel, argued that Cheadle should not have her security clearance renewed after her leadership decisions contributed to the agency's numerous failures
00:05:46.540surrounding the assassination attempts on President Donald J. Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:05:52.420It begs the question, why would she have a renewed security clearance anyway?
00:05:56.700She doesn't work for the Secret Service anymore.
