00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, December 11th.
00:00:05.220 Happy Thursday, folks. I hope you're all having a great day.
00:00:08.140 Just moments ago, a grand jury in Virginia once again declining to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud.
00:00:16.860 This is the second time federal prosecutors have failed to secure an indictment against Tish James.
00:00:21.540 ABC News reporting that federal prosecutors failed to convince a majority of the grand jurors to approve those charges
00:00:27.720 that James misled a bank to obtain favorable loans on a home mortgage.
00:00:33.160 Last week, a grand jury in Norfolk also refusing to indict Letitia James after the judge dismissed her case.
00:00:41.080 James was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia in September.
00:00:45.380 She was charged with two crimes, bank fraud under 18 U.S.C. and false statements to a financial institution also under 18 U.S.C.
00:00:53.860 The charges are related to a mortgage loan on a property that James owns in Norfolk, Virginia, that she referred to as her primary residence.
00:01:02.540 According to the indictment, James was to use the property as her secondary residence and prohibited it from using it as time sharing or other shared ownership agreements
00:01:11.060 that requires her to either rent the property or give another person control over the occupancy or use of the property. 0.99
00:01:17.940 Of course, we know Letitia James was allowing her family to live in it or other people to live in it and renting them out
00:01:24.060 while she lied and claimed that she was the one living in it.
00:01:29.480 Speaking of radical judges, a federal judge this afternoon ordered the release of MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
00:01:37.280 U.S. District Judge Paula Yenis, an Obama appointee in Maryland,
00:01:41.020 ordered the immediate release of Garcia arguing that he has been tamed without lawful authority.
00:01:46.420 Since Abrego Garcia returned from wrongful detention in El Salvador,
00:01:51.380 he has been re-detained again without lawful authority, the judge wrote.
00:01:55.540 For this reason, the court will grant Abrego Garcia a petition for immediate release from ICE custody.
00:02:01.200 Abrego Garcia was an illegal alien residing in Maryland when he was reported to his home country of El Salvador earlier this year
00:02:07.380 and placed in the notorious Seacott Prison.
00:02:10.340 However, radical left-wing judges ordered him to be returned to the United States.
00:02:13.840 The wife-beater and gang member was previously ordered to be deported by an immigration judge,
00:02:18.860 but he was not sent to his home country of El Salvador,
00:02:21.880 so the Trump administration decided to potentially send him to Africa.
00:02:26.240 Abrego Garcia immediately put up a legal fight to stop his deportation.
00:02:30.380 So these Marxist rogue judges just want to allow these gang members to continue to run the streets of America.
00:02:36.840 America. Imagine that.
00:02:39.360 And in November, White House Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett told reporters that there's enough money to pay
00:02:44.240 for the $2,000 Trump tariff checks to the American families
00:02:47.980 and still have enough money to go into the rest of the U.S. budget.
00:02:51.820 That was the big news.
00:02:53.240 Despite all the negative dowsers, President Trump's tariff plan was a phenomenal success and still is.
00:02:58.000 And the Trump administration was ready to share that wealth with the American people.
00:03:03.260 But of course, this needs the approval of Congress.
00:03:06.220 Well, I got bad news for you, folks.
00:03:08.960 Congress today is voting to hand over another $800 million for the Ukraine war,
00:03:14.300 but still, so far, refuses to vote on those $2,000 tariff rebate checks for working Americans.
00:03:21.740 Under these people in Congress, folks, it's America last and everybody else first.
00:03:26.480 So when you hear America first, for these people, it doesn't resonate.
00:03:31.700 Stephen Miller, who's one of President Trump's most trusted advisors, take an aim at CNN.
00:03:36.440 He wants to go on the defunct network.
00:03:38.800 He wants to go on there and call them out on their lies.
00:03:42.440 Turns out CNN will not book Stephen Miller on their shows.
00:03:45.940 What are they so worried about?
00:03:47.420 Take a listen to Stephen Miller absolutely hammering them just moments ago.
00:03:51.260 So over the last few days, our brilliant White House communications shop has reached out to CNN,
00:03:58.940 which, of course, is running one fake news hit piece after another.
00:04:02.820 And they said, Stephen Miller would like to come on your network to rebut any of these lies.
00:04:10.320 And they asked, what show?
00:04:11.920 They said, Stephen Miller will do any show from dawn to dusk.
00:04:15.700 They said, what topic?
00:04:17.680 The White House said, Stephen is available to discuss any topic with any host at any time.
00:04:24.720 As far as you're concerned, Stephen has no scheduling conflicts at all.
00:04:28.540 He will make himself available from the first hour of air to the last hour of air on any subject.
00:04:34.420 And you know what, CNN's response was, we will not take him, period, for any show on any topic.
00:04:40.960 That is completely true, Sean.
00:04:42.300 What is CNN so worried about?
00:04:45.100 NDHS Secretary Christine Noem was on Capitol Hill today testifying.
00:04:48.920 One of the dumb, I don't even know what else you can call him, Marxist Democrat Congressman Benny Thompson,
00:04:56.640 had the nerve to say that those folks who were shot at, those National Guard folks,
00:05:02.820 it was just an unfortunate accident is what he's calling them.
00:05:07.920 Yeah, the terrorist attack by the Islamic radicalists, it was an unfortunate attack.
00:05:13.980 Take a listen.
00:05:14.440 Madam Secretary, you and the gentleman from NCTC reference the unfortunate accident
00:05:24.380 that occurred with the National Guardsmen being killed.
00:05:28.940 You think that was an unfortunate accident?
00:05:31.560 I mean...
00:05:32.060 It was a terrorist attack.
00:05:32.540 No, wait, wait.
00:05:33.620 Look, I'll get it straight.
00:05:34.980 Then you can respond.
00:05:35.600 He shot our National Guardsmen in the head.
00:05:37.500 Look, Mr. Chairman, will you direct the witness to allow me to ask my question?
00:05:45.160 It was an unfortunate situation.
00:05:47.440 Yeah, let's not call it what it was, a terrorist attack by an Islamic radicalist.
