00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, June 24th.
00:00:05.120 Happy Wednesday, folks. I hope your days are off to a great start and you're having a great week.
00:00:11.820 So it was a bloodbath of a night, folks, last night for the, I guess you can call them the normal wing of the Democratic Party if there is such thing.
00:00:19.500 a total, total blood path. Zohan Mamdani showing that his Marxist socialist rule and hold on the
00:00:28.320 Dem party is alive and it is well. I think this is either a blessing in disguise for the Republicans
00:00:34.220 or a massive warning sign that they got to get their acts together. All three of Mamdani's 0.99
00:00:39.400 back congressional candidates won their races for Congress or the primary and they'll head off to
00:00:44.820 The general, former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, won his race, trouncing incumbent Democrat Dan Goldman.
00:00:51.900 You folks all know Dan Goldman.
00:00:53.240 He was a man who ran the impeachment hoax and went after President Trump.
00:00:56.580 Well, he'll be forced to find himself a new job, thanks to the great people there.
00:01:02.480 Democrat Socialist Darylisa Chivalander ousting a longtime incumbent Democrat Representative Adriano Espialat.
00:01:11.520 So this shows, folks, that there's a hold on the Marxist-dem party, and it's no longer Chuck Schumer. It's no longer the folks like Chuck and Nancy Pelosi. It's this Marxist wing that has taken over.
00:01:29.780 A side note, I think it's probably appropriate to let you guys know, George Conway, the former husband of Kellyanne Conway, finished fifth in his race in New York, spending over a million dollars of his own money to get beaten like a dog.
00:01:47.280 President Trump posting a nice message for him on Truth Social, letting him know that he's not the brightest, he's not the smartest.
00:01:55.000 so there's a hold on the Democratic Party
00:01:58.060 and I think the Republicans
00:02:00.140 got to get their act together and figure out
00:02:02.420 is this a blessing in disguise or is this
00:02:04.200 going to wind up hurting them in the long run
00:02:05.640 RINO Senator Tom Tillich is having
00:02:08.040 a total meltdown
00:02:09.380 no it's not because he lost his seat well that could be in part
00:02:12.500 but he's having a total meltdown
00:02:14.220 because Bill Pulte yesterday
00:02:15.820 has fired over 50 career
00:02:17.900 deep state intel officials
00:02:19.380 in his latest move
00:02:22.100 to try to clear up and try to
00:02:24.100 clean up the agency and get this thing back to functioning as it should.
00:02:30.200 Here's what Tillis had to say about the firing from Pulte.
00:02:34.340 Not a fan, by the way.
00:02:35.580 That is Tillis.
00:02:36.760 Take a listen.
00:02:37.820 A reduction in force, the way that I've been engaged to do it before,
00:02:41.660 where you do the analysis, you make sure you retain the most capable people,
00:02:45.800 and you only eliminate the people whose jobs can be either automated
00:02:49.440 or never should have been there.
00:02:51.060 Good. 1.00
00:02:51.360 But my guess is, based on his past experience, it's just going to be another hot steamy pile of dough shit. 1.00
00:02:56.900 I think he's an incompetent sycophant and not the right person to lead DNI. 1.00
00:03:00.880 Poor fella. That guy's having a real tough time fathoming that he lost his seat and he's got to go get himself a job now. 0.87
00:03:09.680 Just like the rest of them. These folks can't handle it.
00:03:12.240 You know, they go into these total meltdowns and it's a sad, sad thing to see.
00:03:18.500 But as I say often here, that, you know, they're a product of their own making.
00:03:24.700 They've done this to themselves.
00:03:26.540 They've put themselves in this situation.
00:03:29.220 He should have become a Democrat.
00:03:30.560 And you know what?
00:03:31.800 He would have never been disappointed in anything the Republicans did.
00:03:34.500 He would have expected it.
00:03:35.840 So, good riddance to Tillis and the rest of the rhinos there.
00:03:40.220 And by the way, yes, I don't know if you guys saw this, but the Senate approved.
00:03:42.920 The House passed War Powers Resolution to limit President Trump's actions in Iran.
00:03:48.500 Four Republicans joining on, Tillis saving himself this time not joining on, Rand Paul, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski, the Rhinos. Mitch McConnell has been AWOL, nobody seems to know where he is after a hospital stint.
00:04:04.380 So those are your Republicans led by John Thune.
00:04:08.200 Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says, as we have the 250th anniversary this year, it's a good idea to reflect about President Trump and how he's reawakened.
00:04:18.620 It made us all aware, our allies and our enemies, that the U.S. has both the military might, but we also have the economic might. Take a listen.
00:04:26.760 It's exactly what President Trump is implementing in this historic second term.
00:04:32.780 And as we have the 250th this year, it's a good idea to reflect.
00:04:39.520 And President Trump has reawakened and made us all aware and our allies and our enemies that the U.S. has both military might, but we have economic might.
00:04:51.400 And for a long time, our economic might was not only was it challenged, it was taken for granted and it was abused.
00:04:58.940 And now we are saying that for our allies, come along with us.
00:05:03.220 Here are the rules of the road.
00:05:04.460 We want reciprocity and engaging and saying, like, it is a new system, but old values, I think, is perfectly appropriate.
00:05:16.140 And President Trump has set the stage for this.
00:05:18.740 When we look at what happened in Iran, that you think about it, we had maximum pressure, then we had epic fury, then we had economic fury, and then we had the blockade.
00:05:32.040 And that's how we got the Iranians to the negotiating table.
00:05:35.320 Folks, please be sure to join us tonight and each and every night for The Great America Show.
00:05:38.180 Rumble, YouTube, Twitter, wherever you guys join us, we will see you there.
00:05:41.020 I'm John Foster with This Great America Show Midday Update.
00:05:43.480 Have a great day, everybody.
