00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Foster with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, October 10th.
00:00:04.480 Happy Friday, folks.
00:00:06.060 Despite his role in ending a whopping eight war since taking office in just a short eight months,
00:00:11.920 President Donald Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize and the head of the Nobel Committee
00:00:16.520 offered a pathetic justification for the decision.
00:00:20.480 Instead, the committee awarded Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Machado
00:00:23.880 with the prize due to her, quote,
00:00:25.740 tireless work for promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela
00:00:29.680 and her struggle to achieve just a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy. 0.97
00:00:36.180 When asked about President Trump, the Nobel chair suggested that President Trump
00:00:39.680 was too much of an attention seeker and thus unworthy of the prize.
00:00:44.820 Quote,
00:00:45.340 In the long history of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think this committee has seen many types of campaigns,
00:00:50.400 media tensions.
00:00:51.120 We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what for them leads to peace.
00:00:58.340 This committee sits with a room full of portraits and a room that is filled with both courage and integrity,
00:01:02.460 so we base only our decision on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel.
00:01:07.760 In other words, the committee denied President Trump simply due to his personality.
00:01:11.840 Seems pretty pathetic to me.
00:01:13.700 Stephen Chung, the President Trump's fiery communications director,
00:01:17.020 responded bluntly and correctly to the insane decision.
00:01:19.780 Quote,
00:01:20.840 The Nobel Committee proved they placed politics over peace.
00:01:25.360 Now, while Cornelius Machado is an incredible woman who has been a brave warrior in her fight against communism
00:01:30.180 and the tyrant of Nicolas Maduro,
00:01:32.540 who has stolen multiple elections in Venezuela,
00:01:35.260 no person in the world has come close to President Trump
00:01:37.980 in terms of saving lives and brokering peace.
00:01:41.380 President Trump, of course, ending the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
00:01:45.620 the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda,
00:01:48.020 the Israel and Iran war, which President Trump is set to finalize this week,
00:01:53.480 India and Pakistan, Cambodia and Thailand,
00:01:56.180 Hamas and Israel, 0.99
00:01:57.600 Egypt and Ethiopia,
00:01:58.820 Serbia and Kosovo.
00:02:00.420 Now, you recall that Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize
00:02:03.300 simply for winning the presidency.
00:02:06.400 He then went on to start multiple wars
00:02:08.200 and drop more than 26,000 bombs on seven countries.
00:02:11.720 He doesn't seem like a man of much peace to me.
00:02:15.500 Now, Maria Machado seems to be a great human being.
00:02:18.660 She's dedicating her Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump.
00:02:21.580 She posted the following message on Twitter.
00:02:24.020 Quote,
00:02:24.240 The recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is the boost to conclude our task,
00:02:28.400 to conquer freedom.
00:02:29.800 We are on the threshold of victory,
00:02:31.140 and today, more than ever,
00:02:32.040 we count on President Trump,
00:02:33.320 the people of the United States,
00:02:34.680 the people of Latin America,
00:02:35.800 and the democratic nations of the world
00:02:37.660 as our principal allies to achieve freedom and democracy.
00:02:41.460 I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela
00:02:44.060 and to President Trump
00:02:45.720 for his decisive support for our cause.
00:02:48.840 As I said,
00:02:49.440 seems like a great, great woman, 0.78
00:02:51.480 and we applaud her,
00:02:52.340 but we don't applaud the committee
00:02:53.560 for their lackluster job.
00:02:56.180 John Thune,
00:02:57.060 seems one day he's doing a good job,
00:02:59.620 and the next day he's doing rhino activity.
00:03:02.320 According to the Wall Street Journal,
00:03:03.720 Senate Majority Leader John Thune
00:03:04.920 and other top Republicans
00:03:06.160 are warning President Trump
00:03:07.760 not to cut jobs or slash entitlements
00:03:10.060 as the government shutdown drags on into its second week.
00:03:13.920 Now, this all comes as President Trump
00:03:16.040 began laying off federal workers today
00:03:18.620 as the U.S. government shutdown
00:03:20.300 is entering a very, very tough phase.
00:03:23.520 President Trump met in the Oval Office
00:03:24.800 with Office of Management Budget Director Russ Vogt last week,
00:03:27.680 the key architect of Project 2025,
00:03:30.560 to determine which federal agencies
00:03:32.160 deemed by Trump as a, quote,
00:03:33.480 political scam
00:03:34.440 should face cuts
00:03:36.060 and whether those cuts
00:03:36.860 will be temporary or permanent.
00:03:38.980 Now, make no mistake,
00:03:39.920 this is all markings of the Democrats.
00:03:42.200 This is what they put President Trump into.
00:03:44.640 This is the corner
00:03:45.300 that they forced him into.
00:03:47.020 Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson
00:03:48.260 revealing this morning
00:03:49.200 that the Democrats
00:03:50.240 will likely keep the government shut down
00:03:52.140 for more than another week
00:03:53.500 until after their, quote,
00:03:55.600 no King's scheduled protest
00:03:57.820 is set to take place
00:03:59.060 on October 18th
00:04:00.260 against President Trump.
00:04:02.060 Imagine that, folks.
00:04:03.020 If that doesn't tell you
00:04:04.580 these folks,
00:04:05.380 these Democrats,
00:04:06.280 these terrible, terrible people
00:04:08.300 for this country
00:04:08.980 are playing politics,
00:04:10.420 I'm not entirely sure what will.
00:04:13.260 But we'll have to wait and see.
00:04:14.440 So put that date in your calendar.
00:04:15.880 October 18th
00:04:16.780 is when Mike Johnson suspects
00:04:18.180 the Democrats will want to open back up
00:04:20.040 the government
00:04:20.480 after their no-Kings rally.
00:04:22.940 And I'm not sure
00:04:23.520 who they're alleging is a king
00:04:25.060 because it's definitely not President Trump
00:04:27.060 and he definitely doesn't get treated like one.
00:04:29.560 Let's not forget,
00:04:30.300 it's the Democrats
00:04:30.840 who selected Kamala Harris,
00:04:33.160 a woman who's never won a vote 0.99
00:04:34.440 in any sort of primary
00:04:35.920 for President of the United States.
00:04:37.780 So if they want to talk about kings,
00:04:39.080 they should look at their own party
00:04:40.440 and what they've done to this country.
