Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday,
00:00:03.920
December 16th. Well, it's been about over a week and we're still not finding out much about these
00:00:09.060
drones that are flying over the Northeast. Now we find out Washington, D.C. becoming a victim of
00:00:14.900
the drone attacks over the weekend. President Trump weighing in on it, tweeting out the following
00:00:19.300
message, quote, the government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they
00:00:23.440
took off from. If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from
00:00:27.960
and where it went. And for some reason, they don't want to comment. I think they'd be better
00:00:32.080
off saying what it is. Our military knows and our president knows. For some reason, they want to
00:00:37.160
keep the people in suspense. I can't imagine it's the enemy because if it were the enemy,
00:00:41.780
they'd have blasted it out. Even if they were late, they'd blast it. Trump says something strange is
00:00:47.000
going on. And for whatever reason, some reason, they don't want to tell the people, but they should.
00:00:52.280
President Trump says he will not go back to his Bedminster golf course for some time while they
00:00:57.240
figure out what's going on and they can clear some of these drones out of the way.
00:01:01.820
And SoftBank, Japan's SoftBank, pledges $100 billion of U.S. investments in a show of confidence
00:01:07.660
for the Trump administration. SoftBank Group, which is the Japanese investment powerhouse led by CEO
00:01:12.920
Masha Yoshi-sun, announced plans on Monday to invest $100 billion in U.S. projects over the next four
00:01:19.300
years. This, of course, is a move that underscores renewed optimism about the American economy
00:01:24.420
as President-elect Donald J. Trump prepares to return to the White House.
00:01:28.580
The announcement came at Trump's Mar-a-Lago, highlighted that 100,000 jobs should be created
00:01:33.320
by 2029. Masha Yoshi says that he is fully confident in President Trump that he is going
00:01:39.160
to make America great again and make the world a lot better off than it has been over the last,
00:01:46.580
And if you live in Chicago, it was a rough weekend for you folks over there.
00:01:50.000
At least 16 are shot during the weekend in Mayor Brandon Johnson's Chicago.
00:01:55.200
CBS News reported that the first fatal shooting of the weekend occurred just after 5.15 on Friday
00:02:00.600
in Chicago. Go figure folks, they couldn't even wait for the weekend. They got it off early,
00:02:06.260
5.15 on a Friday night, first shooting of the weekend, 18 shot in total in the great city of
00:02:12.640
Chicago. Those people need a lot of help and maybe they should allow Trump to come on in
00:02:17.580
and try to save them. They may be beyond repair, but who knows? Folks, please be sure to join us
00:02:23.620
