The Great America Show - Mid-Day Update： May 20th, 2024

00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett sitting in for Lou Dobbs on this midday update from Monday, May 20th.

00:00:06.240 Alvin Bragg star witness Michael Cohen back on the stand today in the New York Trump trial.

00:00:10.980 If last week wasn't bad enough for him, this morning it got worse.

00:00:15.440 Cohen admitted on the stand that he stole from President Donald Trump at least $30,000

00:00:19.200 and lied to CEO Allen Weisselberg while doing it.

00:00:23.480 Cohen also admitted to making over $4 million last year off of two books and two podcasts,

00:00:28.260 both of which attack President Trump.

00:00:31.700 Cohen said he also makes money off of his merchandise, which is called Convict 45.

00:00:36.540 Cohen clearly suffering from a terrible case of Trump derangement syndrome.

00:00:40.700 An Iranian president and foreign minister declared dead in that helicopter crash over the weekend.

00:00:45.420 Iran has offered no cause for the crash, nor have they suggested sabotage brought down the helicopter.

00:00:51.520 President Raisi was proclaimed as one of the most radical Islamists to ever serve as president of Iran.

00:00:56.580 The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has named the vice president as acting president

00:01:01.760 and insists the government is very under control.

00:01:05.620 And the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

00:01:10.320 and Hamas leaders for war crimes.

00:01:13.180 The charges against Hamas terror chiefs include extermination, murder, torture, rape, and taking hostages,

00:01:19.460 all as war crimes and crimes against humanity.

00:01:21.800 Israel is accused of willful killing, starvation of civilians as a method of warfare,

00:01:27.160 and willfully causing great suffering.

00:01:29.820 The International Criminal Court must have missed the October 7th surprise on Israel.

00:01:34.620 It's worth noting that the ICC has no power to enforce warrants

00:01:38.320 and instead relies on the cooperation of 124 member countries,

00:01:42.680 which happen to not include Israel or the United States,

00:01:45.580 to make arrests, transfer prisoners, freeze assets, and force sentences.

00:01:50.760 So pretty much the court is just a joke.

00:01:53.020 Be sure to join Lou on today's episode of The Great America Show.

00:01:55.860 Our guest is the great Dr. Ben Carson.

00:01:58.340 Carson says there is a push in this country to move us to a one-world government.

00:02:02.240 Lou also gets his take on the potential opportunity to be tapped as vice president.

00:02:06.580 Be sure to join us for that today on The Great America Show.

00:02:09.200 I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update.

00:02:12.540 Have a great day, everybody.
