00:00:00 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, May 14th.
00:00:04 Happy Thursday, folks.
00:00:06 A federal appeals court this afternoon temporarily blocking Trump's $83 million payment to E.G. and Carroll.
00:00:12 In 2019, E.G. and Carroll alleged, we'll put quotation marks around that,
00:00:17 that Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf-Goodman dressing room back in 1990s,
00:00:22 which you cannot name the date or even the year that this allegedly took place.
00:00:25 the courts which are of course uh ripe with uh rogue judges and marxist leftists uh taking sides
00:00:34 with her with no evidence trump has of course denied the allegations and called eugene carroll
00:00:38 a total whack job who's not his type the jury decided that eugene carroll did not need to 0.60
00:00:43 prove that president trump raped her however that jury said eugene carroll proved trump sexually 0.98
00:00:47 abused her when he did sexual things to her with no evidence of course to it at all the manhattan
00:00:54 jury reached a verdict in this case, the defamation case, in 2023 and ordered Trump to pay her $5
00:01:00 million. The appeals court upheld that 2024 ruling of $5 million. In a separate defamation case brought
00:01:07 by E. Jean Carroll in 2024 of January, Trump was ordered to pay another $83.3 million in damages
00:01:13 to E. Jean Carroll. His efforts to assert immunity over the 2019 statements about Carroll were of
00:01:18 course rejected by the rogue courts. The second court of appeals temporarily blocking this payment
00:01:23 this afternoon with some conditions, as it allows President Trump to fight these ridiculous, absurd
00:01:29 allegations. Up on Capitol Hill, another missing lawmakers, folks. Democrat Congresswoman Federico
00:01:35 Wilson has not voted on the House floor in nearly one month. Wilson missed all 10 votes on Wednesday.
00:01:42 The 83-year-old Floridian has missed 43 straight votes. Wilson is also reportedly posting old
00:01:47 photos on her social media pages. Last month, it was reported that Congressman Tom Keene of New
00:01:51 jersey had missed more than 50 roll call votes speaker johnson told abc news that keen is dealing
00:01:56 with personal health matters tom keen eventually broke his silence and thanked his constituents
00:02:01 for their patients as he addressed his personal medical issues the lawmakers said he's expected
00:02:06 to return to a full schedule and be 100 as for federica wilson well she's missing in action and
00:02:13 of course uh taking a paycheck as she's doing that nice how it works like that right over on 1.00
00:02:19 the senate side the senate this afternoon unanimously approving a resolution to withhold
00:02:23 their pay during a government shutdown the resolution adopted by a voice vote was authored
00:02:27 by republican senator john kennedy of louisiana kennedy's resolution suspends senators pay during
00:02:33 a partial or full government shutdown he says it's called shared sacrifice the senator's salaries
00:02:39 will be held in escrow accounts during a government shutdown once the shutdown is over the lawmakers
00:02:44 will get their money the resolution however won't take effect until the day after the midterm
00:02:48 elections so the democrats can play games i guess until then and games they will play it's what they
00:02:55 do and border patrol chief mike banks abruptly resigning this afternoon according to fox news
00:03:00 banks telling fox news it's just his time he says he feels like he got the ship back on course
00:03:05 from the least secure disastrous chaotic border to the most secure border this country has ever
00:03:09 seen he says it's now time to pass the reins 37 years and it's time to enjoy time with his family
00:03:15 time to enjoy his life. As we know, the Democrats don't make it easy for these elected servants or
00:03:22 unelected servants, in his case, to live a normal life. Banks says it was the honor of his lifetime
00:03:27 to serve his country in an email to his colleagues. President Trump tapped Mike Banks as border
00:03:31 patrol chief back in January of 2025. Banks was serving as his Texas border czar for Governor
00:03:37 Abbott when Trump appointed him as border patrol chief. His resignation is the latest shakeup in
00:03:41 the trump administration's immigration enforcement apparatus earlier this week it was reported
00:03:46 president trump has chosen dave ventarella to replace todd lyons as the new acting director
00:03:51 of ice and we hope that we can get those deportations back on track the justice department
00:03:57 has officially declared war in the radical leftist dc bar decades long of their abuse power
00:04:03 following a bombshell complaint against their disciplinary action and authorities
00:04:07 for illegally targeting federal government attorneys who dared serve President Trump.
00:04:12 Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Trump DOJ filing a complaint this afternoon
00:04:16 against D.C. Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton P. Fox,
00:04:20 the D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel,
00:04:22 and the D.C. Court of Appeals Board on professional responsibility.
00:04:26 Filing directly advances President Trump's executive order,
00:04:29 which is ending the weaponization of federal government
00:04:31 and its presidential memorandum on preventing abuses of the legal system and federal courts.
00:04:36 This lawsuit seeks to shut down D.C. Barr's unlawful prosecutions and persecutions of former Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark, a Trump loyalist, a great American, friend of the show, who was targeted purely for his internal deliberations on the 2020 election fraud that remained the subject of ongoing litigation nearly six years later.
00:04:59 Just last week, the DOJ filed a statement of interest supporting former interim U.S. attorney Ed Martin,
00:05:04 who the D.C. Barr is trying to crucify for daring challenge DEI brainwashing at Georgetown Law Center.
00:05:11 Folks, these Marxist stems have no boundaries.
