Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, May 29th.
00:00:04.200
Happy Friday, folks. I hope you're all ready for the weekend, as much as I am.
00:00:07.860
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch today confirming that nobody is above the law.
00:00:13.380
Delivering the clearest message yet from Trump's Justice Department.
00:00:17.040
Political accountability is meaningless when billions in taxpayer dollars,
00:00:20.980
it's meant for vulnerable people like children and people with diseases or elderly medical care,
00:00:26.880
could have been looted. He says that nobody's above the law and real accountability means
00:00:33.400
arrests, prosecutions, and jail time, including possible people who are still in elected office
00:00:40.880
like Ilhan Omar or Governor Tim Walz. Take a listen.
00:00:45.100
It's not enough of a form of accountability for the people out there that are having
00:00:48.540
thousands, millions, hundreds of millions of dollars stolen from them through fraud.
00:00:53.420
Yes, that's right. So here's how we talk about accountability. We talk about
00:00:56.540
arrests, we talk about prosecutions, we talk about jail sentences, and that's what we're doing at the
00:01:02.100
Department of Justice. We're working with inspector generals, FBI, DHS, and HSI agents, and just a few
00:01:08.000
examples. A jury convicted a Florida man of over a billion dollars in Medicare fraud just last week.
00:01:15.060
There was a man sentenced in Minnesota to 41 years in prison for fraud, and these cases are
00:01:22.700
fraud of the worst kind. Fraud against our most needy or the people who deserve the money the
00:01:27.040
most. Children who need money for their lunches when they're at school. Elderly who are having
00:01:32.720
all kinds of medical procedures done in their name when they're not even asking for them.
00:01:36.220
And this is money coming from the federal government. It's your tax dollars. It's my
00:01:39.540
tax dollars. The only way we can hold them accountable is by putting them in jail.
00:01:44.200
Does that include politicians? I know that we're in the investigative process and I know that
00:01:48.320
your answer to me probably will be you need to let the investigation play out. But if this lands
00:01:53.940
and this can be proven that politicians were in some way culpable overseeing it, negligent in some
00:02:00.360
way, political accountability just isn't enough for the American people. That's consistent with
00:02:06.380
the president's absolute directive to his Department of Justice. It does not matter if
00:02:11.200
you're a politician or if you're a fraudster from Somalia. We cannot tolerate it. And Governor
1.00
00:02:15.960
waltz is a great example he has done nothing done nothing but sue us okay sue the department of
00:02:22.120
justice for trying to get records to understand the fraud happening in his state okay so that is
00:02:26.660
that is his reaction to us trying to save the government's money and recover against fraudsters
00:02:31.820
is filing lawsuits against us there you have it folks tim waltz ilan omar at a minimum
00:02:37.020
pure negligence at a maximum possibly being complicit in the crime in the cover-up and in
00:02:44.840
the robbery of tens of millions of dollars president trump and his efforts to deliver
00:02:50.840
justice for victims of wrongful prosecutions by the department of justice now on hold thanks to
00:02:56.300
a marxist dem activist judge u.s district judge leone brinkema of the eastern district of virginia
00:03:03.280
was appointed of course by former president bill clinton temporarily blocking trump from setting
00:03:07.520
up this 1.8 billion dollar fund to compensate victims of the deep state earlier this week
00:03:13.980
president trump revealed that they would be fighting back against those political persecutions
00:03:19.880
some of the people involved january sixers or people of the first trump administration
00:03:26.580
like former acting attorney general jeff clark who became victims of the rogue biden justice
00:03:33.820
department some promising news today from cbs news cbs news editor-in-chief continues draining
00:03:39.160
the woke swamp at the long compromised sunday news program 60 minutes 60 minutes for years
00:03:45.860
repeatedly targeting conservatives and president trump one-sided hit pieces after the next while
00:03:51.640
giving the democrats and their allies soft white glove treatment shows credibility of course
00:03:56.940
collapsed further after the disastrous kamala harris interview that triggered major lawsuits
00:04:02.180
and exposed his activist bend barry weiss who famously walked away from the new york times over
00:04:07.100
its radical leftward launch and their cancel culture is now applying that same standard over
00:04:12.080
at CBS. Under the new SkyDown's Paramount ownership, Weiss was brought into mandate
00:04:17.240
for actual viewpoint diversity. Weiss announcing this week she's replacing veteran executive
00:04:23.380
producer Tanya Simon, a 30-year fixture at the program and daughter of legendary correspondent
00:04:28.780
Bob Simon, with Nick Bilton, who's a tech journalist, former New York Times columnist
00:04:33.720
and documentary filmmaker with zero experience in traditional broadcast news now folks that may
00:04:39.760
just be what CBS News needs I mean President Trump wasn't a politician before getting into
00:04:45.380
politics maybe that's exactly what they need in order to start bringing accountability to start
00:04:50.620
