00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, June 17th.
00:00:04.760 Happy Wednesday, folks. President Trump is over at the G7 in Evian, France.
00:00:09.920 And boy, is he having a good time speaking this morning to the packed house of folks,
00:00:16.620 reiterating that this peace deal that he had signed with Iran,
00:00:21.120 which I think we're expecting the ceremonial signing either Thursday or Friday,
00:00:27.100 is the start of a new beginning for the Middle East.
00:00:29.600 Let's take a listen. As I expressed to the world leaders here this week, it's my hope that the peace agreement will be the beginning of a much larger deal all across the Middle East.
00:00:41.400 We're very close. Look at the job we've done in Gaza. Look at Hamas. Hamas has been very silent.
00:00:47.440 You haven't read anything about Hamas. We're trying to get them unarmed.
00:00:59.600 machine gun in their hands. That's not the easiest thing. But they've they've actually behaved pretty
00:01:05.320 well, considering this was not the lifestyle that they were taught to have, but including an end to 0.56
00:01:11.020 all Iranian aggression. They're not going to be Iranian aggression and an end to war and terror in
00:01:18.480 Lebanon. So the Lebanon piece is something we'll have to work on a little bit. It's a very small
00:01:24.400 piece of the puzzle actually but it still makes a lot of noise the big deal is the iran deal that's 0.97
00:01:31.260 where the money is where the power was but they have hezbollah and you got to get that done one
00:01:38.300 way or the other would do it i think israel can do a much better job on it uh syria would love to do
00:01:45.300 it and now contrary to what the marxist run left mainstream media wants to tell you that president
00:01:50.540 Trump is turning over pallets of cash, which of course couldn't be further than the truth. 0.62
00:01:54.620 That's what Barack Hussein Obama did. You remember he sent over pallets of cash while they
00:01:58.520 continued to build and have their nuclear program. President Trump says any money they get is going
00:02:04.360 to be merit based. He also says the technical discussions and the removal of stockpiles
00:02:09.540 enriched materials is going to begin immediately. Take a listen. They'll work closely with us to
00:02:15.560 turn over the so-called enriched material that's
00:02:19.360 very deep in the bowels of the earth, very deep.
00:02:23.620 Nobody can get it. So it's not important that we do it quickly, but we could
00:02:27.420 do it fairly quickly. When we have a chance, we'll do it. But in the meantime, we have cameras on every
00:02:31.500 inch of it. Nobody can do it. And if they do, we'll hit them with patriots. That's all.
00:02:36.240 And they'll be gone. And they know that.
00:02:39.400 Technical discussions on the removal of all stockpiles of enriched materials
00:02:43.340 will begin immediately we're going to start that immediately and unlike barack hussein obama who
00:02:50.180 sent iran pallets of cash and any relief they receive under this deal they'll have to get based
00:02:56.760 on merit and it won't be from us we don't have to give them anything so there you have it folks
00:03:00.920 right from the man's mouth uh himself um not what the marxist run media wants to tell you not what
00:03:08.140 the Marxist-run Democrats want to make you believe.
00:03:14.220 President Trump checkmated the Marxist Dems and Rhinos earlier this morning
00:03:18.200 after that G7 summit, announcing that the Senate hearing on Jay Clayton 0.90
00:03:22.460 to serve as the Director of National Intelligence will be canceled,
00:03:26.280 and the Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte
00:03:29.060 will remain in place to serve as Acting Director.
00:03:32.040 Now, this all comes amid the ongoing debate over the FISA 702,
00:03:35.400 which the intelligence community uses for warrantless surveillance as national security threats
00:03:40.580 as well as on innocent Americans as we find out over the course of the last few years.
00:03:46.380 Quote, the Republicans agreed with the Democrats to remove the very failed and talented William Pulte
00:03:50.860 for serving as acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Democrats.
00:03:55.780 However, the Republicans moved so fast at the hearings of the great Jay Clayton,
00:03:59.940 current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York,
00:04:02.340 that Pulte would be gone before the Democrats would vote on FISA.
00:04:05.400 Now the Democrats are saying they will vote against FISA.
00:04:09.380 So the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but the Democrats broke the deal. 0.96
00:04:14.620 Trump further slamming the Republicans and the dumb ones for their ridiculous views on the blue slip process for U.S. attorney nominees, 0.83
00:04:22.180 noting that U.S. attorney nominee Jamie McDonald would be confirmed before Jay Clayton can be removed as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and sworn in as DNI. 0.98
00:04:31.520 You know, it's nice to see that President Trump is getting involved in this process.
00:04:35.080 We've never seen presidents before get involved because he understands what's going on.
00:04:39.760 He understands the process where I think there's very few presidents before understand it or care to understand it.
00:04:46.280 Whereas President Trump is not going to take the BS.
00:04:49.660 He's not going to take the lies. 0.53
00:04:51.360 And it seems he's getting a little bit tired of the rhino majority leader, John Doon, and his lackadaisiness on just about everything. 0.86
00:05:01.000 So, like I said, nice to see President Trump getting involved. 0.98
