00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, March 16th.

00:00:04.700 Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a great weekend. Your weeks are off to a good start.

00:00:09.160 President Trump earlier this morning announced that White House Chief of Staff Suzy Wiles

00:00:12.900 has been diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer.

00:00:17.020 President Trump said that Suzy Wiles will immediately begin treatment and will be working full-time at the White House.

00:00:22.340 Quote, Suzy Wiles is an incredible Chief of Staff, a great person, and one of the strongest people I know. 0.78

00:00:27.000 But unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer

00:00:30.100 and has decided to take on this challenge immediately as opposed to waiting.

00:00:34.920 She has a fantastic medical team, and her prognostic is excellent.

00:00:39.040 During the treatment period, she will be spending virtually full time at the White House,

00:00:43.000 which makes me very happy as president.

00:00:44.840 Very happy.

00:00:46.160 Her strength and commitment to continue to do her job, she loves.

00:00:49.060 And she does so well while undergoing treatment, tells you everything you need to know about her.

00:00:53.640 President Trump writing in that true social post,

00:00:56.420 In November of 2024, President Trump named Suzy Wallace as the chief of staff.

00:01:00.600 She served as President Trump's 2024 campaign manager, and she's also the first woman to serve as chief of staff in the White House.

00:01:08.360 The Democrats continue to keep on holding the DHS hostage and reinforcing the need to end the filibuster.

00:01:16.460 It's officially been a month since the Democrats forced the DHS to indefinitely shut down,

00:01:21.500 which began on Valentine's Day following a firestorm of left-wing media attacks

00:01:26.020 targeting the agency over the conduct of several ICE agents carrying out a deportation raid.

00:01:31.520 Mass deportations, which was a central pillar of President Trump's campaign promises,

00:01:36.680 was among the top issues of which President Trump ran on in 2024

00:01:39.940 following the greatest border invasion in American history.

00:01:44.340 Although the legacy media outfits may have you thinking it's quite the opposite,

00:01:48.640 The policy of mass deportations remains wildly popular, indeed commands bipartisan support.

00:01:55.540 Realizing that the policy has mass public support, the Democrats pivoted their approach to exploiting some bad optics surrounding the shooting of Alex Preddy

00:02:03.240 and have used it as a weapon to hold the Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration for ransom to their demands.

00:02:09.800 Now, these demands serve effectively as rash policies, body camera requirements, de-escalation training programs.

00:02:17.500 You know, it's almost like the back in the DEI days of DEI training requirements or judicial warrants that would all but neuter the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement from practically being able to implement their mandate.

00:02:30.100 For their part, Republicans quite rightly have said acquiescence to Democrat demands would be suicidal, both politically and for the country.

00:02:40.220 I mean, think about it, folks. This is the Democratic Party holding our national security hostage.

00:02:47.500 President Trump over the weekend delivering a blunt message to NATO partners step up and help secure the vital Strait of Hormuz against Iran or face serious consequences for the future of the alliance.

00:03:00.440 During an interview, President Trump warned that NATO's future could be in jeopardy if the European allies refused to support the U.S.-led mission aimed at reopening the critical oil shipping route, which Iran has effectively threatened to close amid the escalation of the Middle East conflict.

00:03:15.200 President Trump says if there's no response, it's a negative response, and I think it'll

00:03:19.000 be very bad for the future of NATO.

00:03:21.440 The president's warning comes that the United States pushes for a multinational coalition

00:03:25.600 to patrol and secure the Strait of Hormuz from the radical Islamist Iranian regime.

00:03:32.280 It can be recalled on Saturday, President Trump asked several countries heavily dependent

00:03:36.760 on the Middle East energy, including European powers and Asian allies, to send warship,

00:03:41.640 minesweepers or air defense assets to protect commercial shipping from the iranian irgc the

00:03:48.880 threat of these radical like i said radical islamists who don't care about hurting civilians 0.85

00:03:54.560 this is what they do and in a stunning turn of events it appears iran's new supreme leader

00:04:00.280 who was chosen by iran's establishment following the death of the late ayatollah khamenei 0.69

00:04:04.920 is likely gay according to a report by the new york post along with the impotency problem and

00:04:11.620 and the inability to find a wife drew concerns about his leadership capabilities 0.97

00:04:15.360 from the elder Khamenei before his assassination.

00:04:18.860 Post is reporting that U.S. spy agencies believe Khamenei had a long-term sexual relationship

00:04:23.620 with his childhood tutor, according to a tip from one of the most protected sources

00:04:27.760 that the Iranian government has.

00:04:30.280 Trumpists have said to laugh out loud when briefed by officials.

00:04:33.880 Others in the room, surrounded by President Trump, found it, quote,

00:04:36.740 hilarious, according to the Post's source,

00:04:38.700 and one senior intelligence official was laughing for days.
