00:00:00.000Hello, everybody. I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, July 2nd.
00:00:04.420Happy Thursday, folks. I hope you're all staying cool out there.
00:00:06.940Some breaking news out of Washington, D.C. this afternoon.
00:00:09.860David Hearn, former Olympian who was arrested and charged with the misdemeanor for destruction of property
00:00:15.260for vandalizing the Lincoln Reflecting Pool last month, was indicted by a grand jury on felony charges on Thursday.
00:00:23.000Hearn is a three-time Olympic canoeist. Hearn denied any wrongdoing.
00:00:27.140Of course, several other vandals were arrested last month.
00:00:30.000U.S. Attorney for D.C. Janine Pirro telling Fox News that last month, more charges are coming and the vandals who poured corrosive chemicals in the water are going to pay the price.
00:00:39.740She says these cases will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
00:00:43.700It's unclear how misdemeanor citation originally issued to Hearn escalated into this felony charge, but it's good to see that the grand jury, especially in Washington, D.C., was able to be a little bit non-biased.
00:01:01.320So, now in other news, in other courts of radical woke Marxist judges, a federal appeals court this afternoon blocking the Trump administration from firing 19 intel officers who were assigned to DEI jobs.
00:01:15.320The Virginia-based Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district judge's injunction requiring the intel agencies to provide the officials with an opportunity to be reassigned.
00:01:24.320reassigned group of anonymous intel officers have been temporarily reassigned to roles implementing
00:01:29.540controlling the controversial diversity equity inclusion and accessibility department
00:01:34.960previously filed lawsuits against the u.s office for the director of national intelligence
00:01:39.000and the cia lawsuit was of course was filed in the district court for the eastern district of
00:01:44.600virginia names the odni the cia and the leadership as plaintiffs in the case and of course the rogue
00:01:53.560judge ruling in their favor now speaking of DEI and DNI's office and the ODNI twice failed
00:02:03.820presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is now urging deep state officials to refuse to share any
00:02:09.280information with acting DNI Bill Paltty imagine that Hillary Clinton is back again the two-time
00:02:17.220presidential loser interfering with national security say it ain't so now in other news in
00:02:24.960another court a federal judge this afternoon blocked the usps imagine that from carrying0.78
00:02:32.660out president trump's executive order requiring in part the usps only transmit ballots for states
00:02:38.560that follow a list of election integrity rules detailed in the order which includes and this is
00:02:44.400all common sense stuff folks providing voter rolls or a list of mail-in voters for that state
00:02:50.500that's not too much to ask or i don't think uh we want people voting in our elections who are
00:02:57.800citizens so another day and another rogue marxist judge doing whatever they feel like it and this0.97
00:03:06.720is the reality of the judicial system now here in america under the marxist damn rule and president0.96
00:03:13.160Trump has all but had it, I think, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune. President Trump0.97
00:03:17.840again today urging Senate Majority Leader Thune to fire the Senate Parliamentarian
00:03:21.940Elizabeth McDonough, whom he said is blocking Republican legislative priorities. The
00:03:27.620Parliamentarian is a procedural advisor whose roles include keeping the legislative process
00:03:32.780complaint within the chamber's own rules. This lady, who's been in charge now for some
00:03:38.040time, has repeatedly disavowed the chamber to approve key legislative priorities for
00:03:42.360republicans through the reconciliation process which is limited to budgetary issues president
00:03:48.460trump posting on truth social quote how is the republican senate not firing the parliamentarian
00:03:53.800who's appointed by radical left senator harry reid and barack hussein obama is beyond me
00:03:59.860she'd been ruling unfairly against republicans for years majority leader john thune has the right to0.97
00:04:06.720do it immediately. Fire the parliamentary now. Thune has refused, of course, to fire her because0.99
00:04:12.200he's not just a rhino, but he's complicit in the deep state corruption, I believe, to President
00:04:18.200Trump's constraint, driving most of the push and desire from the White House to pass the Save
00:04:22.400America Act, that voter ID bill that has languished in the upper chamber due to the 60-vote filibuster
00:04:28.880threshold. That's another thing that Thune just can't seem to figure out is the filibuster. As
00:04:35.940soon as the Marxist Dems take back over, that filibuster is gone. We all know it. Thune even0.81
00:04:40.880knows it, but he must just be complicit in the entire operation because he's sitting on his
00:04:46.540hands doing absolutely nothing. Folks, please be sure to join us tonight and each and every night
