00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, March 2nd.
00:00:04.300 Happy March, folks. I hope you all had a great weekend and your weeks are off to a great start.
00:00:09.220 President Trump over the weekend launching a blistering attack on Iran, taking out the Ayatollah Khamenei.
00:00:16.080 We're going to be talking all about that tonight and much, much more tonight on the Great America Show.
00:00:20.180 Congressman Corey Mills, President Trump addressed that earlier this afternoon.
00:00:25.180 Operation Epic Fury. Take a listen.
00:00:27.800 Today, the United States military continues to carry out large scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the grave threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime. 0.95
00:00:42.560 Following our obliteration of Iran's nuclear program and Operation Midnight Hammer a short while ago, 0.97
00:00:50.780 we warned Iran not to make any attempt to rebuild at a different location because they were unable to use the ones that we so powerfully blew up. 0.95
00:01:02.280 But they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons.
00:01:07.840 In addition, the regime's conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically.
00:01:13.320 And this posed a very clear, colossal threat to America and our forces stationed overseas.
00:01:20.540 The regime already had missiles capable of hitting Europe and our bases both local and overseas
00:01:26.820 and would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America. 0.99
00:01:32.620 The purpose of this fast-growing missile program was to shield their nuclear weapon development and make it extraordinarily difficult for anyone to stop them from making these highly forbidden by us nuclear weapons. 0.54
00:01:47.520 We were the ones that were complaining.
00:01:49.280 We were the ones that wanted it stopped.
00:01:52.080 But everybody was behind us.
00:01:53.840 They just didn't have the courage to say so.
00:01:56.700 An Iranian regime armed with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat to the Middle East, 1.00
00:02:05.540 but also to the American people.
00:02:09.620 Our country itself would be under threat, and it was very nearly under threat.
00:02:15.860 I was very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal by President Barack Hussein Obama.
00:02:22.080 That was a horrible, horrible, dangerous document.
00:02:25.080 They would have had nuclear weapons three years ago, and they would have used them.
00:02:31.520 But I'll not let that happen.
00:02:33.720 I think we should all sleep well at night knowing that President Trump is at the helm,
00:02:37.720 and he's the President of the United States right now, and not somebody like Joseph Robinette Biden.
00:02:43.180 President Trump, of course, exhausted all diplomatic outlets his first four years,
00:02:48.360 and now his first year back in the second term, exhausting all options diplomatically with Special Envoy Steve Wipkoff,
00:02:57.900 Jared Kushner.
00:02:58.960 They really tried to, for the last year plus, work out something amicably with Iran,
00:03:05.940 which simply just meant they had to turn over their nuclear weapons,
00:03:08.800 and it seemed they couldn't do that.
00:03:10.640 The Ayatollah instead wanted to play tough guy and make blanket threats.
00:03:15.180 There was only one problem.
00:03:16.300 He was on the losing side.
00:03:19.000 Secretary of War Pete Hegseth today, speaking before President Trump,
00:03:23.560 warning that there may be some radical Islamist sleeper cells here in America that we should be worried about.
00:03:30.140 Take a listen.
00:03:30.800 All across the interagency, in full coordination, of course, for paying attention to any potentialities there.
00:03:36.760 This is a former regime, a regime that seeks to export that ideology and try to sow terror. 0.88
00:03:46.260 We're ready for that.
00:03:47.360 We've seen these types of folks before, and the American people can rest assured that we're vigilant on that.
00:03:53.460 Thank you.
00:03:54.720 Kind of a follow-up on that last question.
00:03:56.640 There was just this, what appears to be a terrorist attack in Austin yesterday.
00:04:00.700 Does that change the operation at all?
00:04:04.300 What effect does that have?
00:04:05.600 It doesn't change the operation at all, and I know the authorities are executing exactly the way they should.
00:04:10.080 So that should be a wake-up call to all of us Americans to be vigilant that these sleeper cells may be in America.
00:04:16.000 And it's a new day in America, which means it's a new day for an unelected judge to do something radical.
00:04:23.480 The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday rejecting President Trump's request to delay the Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs.
00:04:30.240 The Supreme Court recently struck down President Trump's tariffs in a 6-3 decision.
00:04:34.280 The Supreme Court said President Trump did not have the authority to impose tariffs under the IEPA,
00:04:40.340 the International Emergencies Economic Powers Act.
00:04:43.520 The high court's decision only invalidates Trump's tariffs under that IEPA.
00:04:48.440 Chief Justice John Roberts, Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, of course, siding with the three Marxist liberals.
00:04:54.700 Conservative Justices Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, siding with President Trump.
00:04:59.560 President Trump and his administration has asked for a 90-day delay,
00:05:02.940 but the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals denied the request,
00:05:05.980 to which I say he should tell the courts to kick rocks,
00:05:09.280 just as Joe Biden did when it came time for student loan forgiveness.
00:05:13.520 Folks, please be sure to join us tonight, 6 p.m. Eastern Time for The Great America Show.
00:05:17.460 Rumble, YouTube, Twitter, wherever you guys join us, we will be there at 6 p.m. Eastern Time for The Great America Show.
00:05:22.460 I'm John Fossett with this midday update.
00:05:24.400 Have a great day, everybody.
