00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, October 22nd.
00:00:05.700 22 days, folks. We're nearing the record for the longest government shutdown.
00:00:11.320 We're just a few days out from that.
00:00:13.200 Still no budging from the Marxist Democrats.
00:00:15.480 They're holding the American people and their money and our troops and many other government employees hostage
00:00:20.540 with their selfishness just to spite Donald Trump.
00:00:25.480 But every poll shows they're the ones losing the fight.
00:00:29.360 They're the ones losing in the polls with the American people.
00:00:34.020 Now, President Trump says he's interested in meeting with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries,
00:00:37.860 but under one condition, that they open up the government.
00:00:41.980 Other than that, he doesn't want to see their faces.
00:00:44.540 Take a listen to the wise words that President Trump had to say for Hakeem and Chuck Schumer.
00:00:50.120 You won't meet with them until the government's open.
00:00:52.240 The government has to be open, yeah?
00:00:54.040 Mr. President.
00:00:54.700 You know how long it would take for them to do that?
00:00:57.900 They're just saying, okay, government's open, that's it.
00:01:00.760 There is nothing.
00:01:01.560 How long do you want to go?
00:01:02.980 What they're doing is saying they lost the negotiation when we got the great big beautiful deal done.
00:01:08.920 They lost that negotiation.
00:01:10.680 Now they're saying, well, we want to get some of the things we lost.
00:01:14.560 But the problem is the things they lost are very bad for our country.
00:01:17.520 We don't want to have people come over from all over the world from prisons and all and have them have their health care paid for.
00:01:25.220 We want to take care of people that are American citizens and all.
00:01:29.680 So they want $1.5 trillion of money to be wasted and jeopardize the health care of other people.
00:01:37.600 We're not going to do that.
00:01:38.360 So I would love to meet with them.
00:01:41.680 We want the country open first.
00:01:43.340 There you have it, Chuck and Hakeem.
00:01:45.160 Open up the government and stop playing politics with the American people's money and Donald Trump will meet with you.
00:01:51.080 Very, very simple.
00:01:53.080 But the Democrats just keep playing their games.
00:01:56.720 Senate Majority Leader John Thune had some words to the Democrats about their demands and how they're certainly not going to get them.
00:02:03.480 Take a listen.
00:02:04.360 This is about opening up the government.
00:02:06.000 We have offered them several off-ramps now.
00:02:09.300 The Democrats want something that's totally untenable, as Senator Brasso said.
00:02:13.780 I mean, they want $1.5 trillion in new spending.
00:02:16.880 They want free health care for people who are non-citizens in this country.
00:02:20.260 That is just a flat non-starter.
00:02:21.660 It doesn't pass the Senate.
00:02:22.640 It won't pass the House.
00:02:23.580 It won't be signed into law by the President.
00:02:25.180 What you do have is a bill that's passed the House, sitting at the desk in the Senate, that the President's prepared to sign to open up the government.
00:02:31.760 So I'm not sure people keep saying, you know, negotiate.
00:02:35.240 Negotiate what?
00:02:36.980 I don't know what that is right now.
00:02:38.720 The government needs to open up.
00:02:40.460 And then we're happy to sit down and talk about any other issues that Democrats want to talk about.
00:02:44.080 There you have it, folks.
00:02:45.440 The Republican Party, the party of love, the party of unity, and the party of the American people, the Marxist Dems, the party of the corporate oligarchy, and the party of illegal aliens. 0.56
00:02:57.520 It doesn't get much simpler than that.
00:03:00.340 President Trump's meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin is reportedly canceled after Poland threatened to intercept Russia's plane that's carrying Vladimir Putin.
00:03:10.400 The reports come out this week that the meeting will now be postponed, though set to take place in person, between President Trump and Russian strongman Vladimir Putin in Budapest, Hungary.
00:03:21.440 The reports were preceded by comments by top Polish diplomats that their country could not assure Putin safe travel through Poland skies to get to Hungary.
00:03:31.120 It seems nobody in the European region, I guess, wants any sort of peace deal for Ukraine.
00:03:36.680 What they want, not entirely sure.
00:03:38.860 But it seems they just want more chaos to ensue, probably led by the heads of NATO and all the people who want to continue to fund the military-industrial complex and endless world wars.
00:03:54.860 And some good news for truth, justice, and the American way.
00:03:58.020 Right here in America, ABC News is set to lay off 100 employees amid their split from MSNBC and CNBC.
00:04:04.860 NBC News reported laying off up to 100, as its parent company's Comcast-owned, or I should say Comcast-owned, NBCUniversal News Groups splitting from NBC News, MSNBC, and CNBC, according to multiple reports.
00:04:20.020 The cut will affect nearly every part of the organization they're saying.
00:04:23.580 Proceed a much-anticipated split that will separate many of Comcast's cable channels.
00:04:28.300 No anchors, unfortunately, will be affected by the cuts.
00:04:31.800 They're the first ones who should go, folks.
00:04:33.660 So, we all know that.
00:04:35.040 These are the same people who have been the purveyors of lies and injustices in this country for the last 10 years with their anti-Trump, Trump derangement rhetoric.
00:04:45.080 Folks, please be sure to join us tonight at 6 p.m. Eastern Time for The Great America Show.
00:04:49.600 6 p.m. Eastern Time for The Great America Show, Rumble, YouTube, Twitter, wherever you guys join us.

00:05:00.980 The Marxist Dems are going crazy about this ballroom at the White House.
00:05:04.600 Jen Psaki, a familiar name of the past, she's out with some hatred. 1.00
