00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Foster with This Great America Show, midday update for Thursday, January 8th.
00:00:04.280 Happy Thursday, folks.
00:00:06.220 As chaos is unwinding in Minnesota, Minnesota's Marxist damn governor, Tim Waltz, has activated the National Guard
00:00:12.860 as the unrest spreads across Minneapolis following the shooting of the lady who decided to block the road from ICE agents
00:00:20.280 and then proceeded to try to run over that ICE agent.
00:00:23.440 She was shot in the head three times by the agent who's now been named while inside of her vehicle,
00:00:28.720 sparking massive protests in the streets and outrage from Minnesota lawmakers.
00:00:33.960 The governor signed the executive order to activate the National Guard in the city,
00:00:37.300 stating that Minnesotans are feeling scared, angry, and disillusioned.
00:00:41.920 Now, it's all thanks to Tim Walsh and his cronies, Keith Ellison or Mayor Fry of Minneapolis,
00:00:49.140 who have stoked his hatred and fear in everybody's blood for the last few months since President Trump came back to the White House.
00:00:57.660 And Vice President J.D. Vance has had enough of the fake news media's attempt to demonize law enforcement
00:01:04.240 and coddle the radical left-wing extremists across this country during a heated press conference this afternoon
00:01:10.560 following the incident in Minneapolis.
00:01:12.440 Vance delivered a master class in holding the propaganda machines accountable.
00:01:17.400 Take a listen to J.D. Vance giving these Marxist Dems a lesson.
00:01:21.320 Somebody sent me a photo of a CNN headline about what happened in Minneapolis.
00:01:27.400 And this is the headline. I'm just going to read it.
00:01:29.960 Outrage after ICE officer kills U.S. citizen in Minneapolis.
00:01:34.440 Well, that's one way to put it.
00:01:36.640 And that is the way that many people in the corporate media have put this attack over the last 24 hours.
00:01:42.060 And I say attack very, very intentionally because this was an attack on federal law enforcement.
00:01:47.880 This was an attack on law and order.
00:01:49.540 This was an attack on the American people.
00:01:51.920 The way that the media, by and large, has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace.
00:01:58.100 And it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day.
00:02:01.980 What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ended,
00:02:08.320 dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg.
00:02:12.900 So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile.
00:02:17.420 What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America.
00:02:25.000 What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault,
00:02:33.380 and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.
00:02:36.400 If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly,
00:02:43.720 sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do
00:02:49.900 what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws.
00:02:54.380 The president stands with ICE.
00:02:56.360 I stand with ICE.
00:02:57.640 We stand with all of our law enforcement officers.
00:03:00.380 And part of that is recognizing that you people in the media, not everybody in this room,
00:03:05.060 but many people in this room have been lying about this attack.
00:03:08.820 She was trying to ram this guy with her car.
00:03:13.420 He shot back.
00:03:14.800 He defended himself.
00:03:16.100 He's already been seriously wounded in law enforcement operations before.
00:03:19.660 And everybody who's been repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis
00:03:25.420 when a law enforcement officer shot at her, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
00:03:29.320 And there you have it.
00:03:30.280 The vice president of the United States masterly, masterfully putting it for the Marxist Dems who have tried to demonize this man
00:03:37.660 who was simply doing his job as this woman's car was blocking the street, perpendicular to traffic.
00:03:44.460 There's no other way to put it, folks.
00:03:47.220 Now, speaking of Minneapolis, Tim Waltz and Attorney General Keith Ellison may be about to face the full weight of the federal law
00:03:54.160 for their roles in the mass Somali fraud.
00:03:57.080 The role of Waltz and Ellison's scandals are noticeable.
00:04:00.380 Estimates indicate that the total fraud could be as high as $9 billion in Medicaid and other social services and payments that were made.
00:04:09.340 But Waltz might find himself in a little bit of trouble as the DOJ has confirmed receipt of criminal referrals
00:04:17.120 for Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison from the House of Representatives.
00:04:22.600 So we'll see what happens.
00:04:24.160 But there you have it.
00:04:25.480 Criminal referrals officially for Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison.
00:04:28.880 And speaking of Congress, the U.S. Senate this afternoon voted 52 to 47 to advance a War Powers Resolution
00:04:35.780 to limit President Trump's military actions in Venezuela.
00:04:39.280 Now, you wonder, how do you get a majority when the Republicans have the majority?
00:04:43.260 President Trump, of course, is going to veto this measure.
00:04:45.140 But five Republicans showing who they really are, joining with the Democrats to advance this resolution.
00:04:51.080 Senators Young of Indiana, Murkowski of Alaska, Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Josh Hawley of Missouri.
00:04:57.380 This is the third time the Senate has voted to advance a War Powers Resolution.
00:05:02.120 These rhinos, not sure what the hell they think they're doing.
00:05:05.200 But there you have it.
