Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, December 8th.
00:00:05.280
Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a great weekend and your weeks are off to a great start.
00:00:10.320
Everyone's favorite Marxist Dem from Texas, Democrat Marxist Dem, I should say, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.
00:00:19.640
She announced Monday and filed the paperwork to run for the Democrat primary for the U.S. Senate in Texas.
00:00:27.340
That's right, folks. As the great Roger Stone says, if she had an IQ any lower, you'd have to water her like a plant.
00:00:34.680
Thinks that she's going to be the next senator, which I guess is very well possible for the Democrat process.
00:00:41.400
I don't think she has any chance of beating a Republican.
00:00:44.040
But Crockett is going up against and will face state rep James Tallarico of Austin,
00:00:49.080
whose campaign has generated national headlines and raised a record $6 million in the first three weeks of his campaign announcement.
00:00:58.380
After Crockett filed her paperwork, Tallarico issued a statement saying, quote,
00:01:02.200
We're building a movement in Texas fueled by record-breaking grassroots fundraising and 10,000 volunteers
00:01:07.960
who are putting in the work to defeat the billionaire megadonors and the puppet politicians who have taken over our state.
00:01:15.460
Our movement is rooted in unity over division, so we welcome Congresswoman Crockett into the race.
00:01:22.580
Now, former House Rep. Colin Allred dropped out of the race this morning, I guess in anticipation of Crockett's announcement,
00:01:29.260
making her a clear favorite in the Democratic Party.
00:01:32.220
But recent polling data shows Paxton, that's Ken Paxton, the current Attorney General,
00:01:37.060
outperforming any potential Democratic opponents, including Crockett in the red state of Texas.
00:01:43.580
Polling also shows Cornyn, Paxton, Congressman Wesley Hunt locked in a three-way tight primary race,
00:01:55.460
We wish Ms. Crockett the best of luck, and hopefully she loses.
00:01:58.800
New York City's incoming mayor and Democrat socialist Zahran Mamdani releasing a video on Twitter over the weekend
00:02:06.400
offering step-by-step advice to illegal immigrants and thwarting Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents.
00:02:14.040
Take a listen to this numbskull, and I think what amounts to potential criminal activity.
00:02:20.980
Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors.
00:02:24.520
As mayor, I'll protect the rights of every single New Yorker,
00:02:28.940
and that includes the more than 3 million immigrants who call this city their home.
00:02:32.120
But we can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.
00:02:36.020
If you encounter ICE, these are the things that every New Yorker should know.
00:02:39.420
First, ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, or a private area of your workplace
00:02:48.360
If ICE does not have a judicial warrant signed by a judge, you have the right to say,
00:02:57.620
I do not consent to entry, and the right to keep your door closed.
00:03:00.780
Sometimes ICE will show you paperwork that looks like this,
00:03:04.360
and tell you that they have the right to arrest you.
00:03:10.840
ICE is legally allowed to lie to you, but you have the right to remain silent.
00:03:16.500
am I free to go, repeatedly, until they answer you.
00:03:18.920
You are legally allowed to film ICE, as long as you do not interfere with an arrest.
00:03:22.840
It is important to remain calm during any interaction with ICE or law enforcement.
00:03:26.760
Do not impede their investigation, resist arrest, or run.
00:03:30.860
New Yorkers have a constitutional right to protest.
00:03:33.280
And when I'm mayor, we will protect that right.
00:03:37.840
And I will fight each and every day to protect, support, and celebrate our immigrant brothers and sisters.
00:03:43.160
I think it's time Mr. Zorhan Mamdani gets a little visit from Tom Holman.
00:03:49.500
Doesn't seem like that was exactly legal, what he did, as we've seen from these Marxist Dems,
00:03:56.260
who are in absolute meltdown mode over ICE cleaning up our streets and ICE cleaning up our cities.
00:04:01.740
I guess we're going to have to wait and see how radical Mamdani is when he takes office in just over a month.
00:04:07.460
Earlier this afternoon, Alina Habba announced that she has stepped down from her role as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey
00:04:14.020
after the Third Circuit Court of Appeals disqualified her.
00:04:17.540
The Trump nominee said she will serve in the Justice Department in another role,
00:04:21.660
Attorney General Pam Bondi, that is, will seek further review of the Third Circuit's ruling.
00:04:26.140
Quote, my fight will now stretch across the country as we wait for further reviews of the court's ruling.
00:04:33.100
I will continue to serve the Department of Justice as a senior advisor to the Attorney General of the United States Attorneys.
00:04:45.480
And if she does ultimately head back to that role in New Jersey.
00:04:52.380
