Hello everybody, this is John Fawcett with the Great America Show Midday Update for Wednesday, March 27th.
00:00:06.500
President Donald Trump has been gagged yet once again.
00:00:09.480
The judge overseeing President Trump's upcoming Manhattan criminal trial this week imposed a gag order
00:00:14.200
that bars the former president from attacking, quote,
00:00:17.320
reasonably foreseeable witnesses or other people involved in the case.
00:00:21.880
This is a case in which Trump is accused of falsifying business records
00:00:25.440
connected to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
00:00:28.500
And this is now the third case in recent months in which President Trump's First Amendment rights
00:00:37.320
And Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador becomes the latest foreign leader to try and extort America.
00:00:43.660
Obrador's list of demands including scrapping sanctions on Venezuela, ending the Cuban embargo,
00:00:49.100
granting citizenship to illegal immigrants from Mexico that are now living in America,
00:00:52.920
and for America to cough up $20 billion a year to assist beleaguered countries in Latin America
00:01:00.140
He says if we don't abide by his demands, the flow of illegals will continue.
00:01:05.300
If they don't do the things that you've said need to be done, then what?
00:01:15.040
Your critics have said what you're doing or what you're asking for
00:01:18.400
to help secure the border is diplomatic blackmail.
00:01:32.140
If they don't do those things, will you continue to help to secure the border?
00:01:36.700
Yes, because our relationship is very important.
00:01:44.380
Obador was then asked about his country's cartels producing fentanyl and sending it to America.
00:01:49.920
Take a listen to who he blames for that fentanyl production.
00:01:53.200
The DEA says cartels are mass-producing fentanyl,
00:01:57.100
and the U.S. State Department has said that most of it is coming out of Mexico.
00:02:06.460
Or rather, they don't have all the information,
00:02:09.480
because fentanyl is also produced in the United States.
00:02:12.600
The State Department says most of it's coming from Mexico.
00:02:16.440
Fentanyl is produced in the United States, in Canada, and in Mexico,
00:02:24.720
You know why we don't have the drug consumption that you have in the United States?
00:02:32.880
and we don't have the problem of the disintegration of the family.
00:02:37.060
It sounds awfully like the president is on the payroll of those criminal cartels.
00:02:42.720
officials in New York City have began giving out prepaid debit cards
00:02:45.800
to illegal migrant families residing in the Big Apple.
00:02:48.660
This is all part of a $53 million pilot program on behalf of Mayor Eric Adams.
00:02:53.100
It'll provide illegal families of four with up to two children under the age of five
00:02:57.160
with $350 per week until the end of their stay in America.
00:03:02.920
Nobody really knows, but if someone let you live rent-free
00:03:05.460
and then gave you a debit card with free money, would you ever leave?

He says all kinds of terrible policies were perpetrated on the public
00:03:16.620
without any concern for the risk and reward of those policies
00:03:23.540
that there would be mental health consequences.
