Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, October 24th.

Seems to be an all-out war with Canada is on the horizon.
00:00:10.800
President Trump, late last night, announced all trade negotiations with Canada have been terminated
00:00:16.360
after the government of Ontario created an ad campaign using selective audio of President Ronald Reagan
00:00:25.340
President Trump is accusing the government of Ontario of interfering with the Supreme Court's decision
00:00:31.320
The high court is set to hear oral arguments on November 5th on Trump's tariffs
00:00:37.420
Now, the Ronald Reagan Foundation has announced that Canada fraudulently used an advertisement
00:00:42.600
which is fake featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about those tariffs.
00:00:47.100
The ad was for $75 million and they only did this to interfere with the decision
00:00:51.420
of the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts, says President Trump.
00:00:55.060
Now, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation released a statement and they said that the
00:01:00.100
video that was created by Ontario used selective audio and video of Ronald Reagan delivering
00:01:04.840
a radio address to the nation on free and fair trade that was dated April 25th, 1987.
00:01:11.140
The Reagan Institute says that this video released by Ontario misrepresents the presidential radio
00:01:16.360
address and the government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use the edited
00:01:22.860
Now, President Trump and other world leaders, including Mark Carney, are heading over to
00:01:26.840
Asia tonight for a series of meetings before departing.
00:01:30.740
Canadian Prime Minister Carney looked panicked after President Trump ended those trade negotiations
00:01:35.700
as he now says he's desperately trying to find another country in Asia that will replace
00:01:43.520
So, in other words, Canada is screwed because of their Marxist leader.
00:01:49.540
It's just going to take a little bit of a longer time to get across the ocean.
00:01:55.380
Take a listen to Carney as he panicked before departing to Asia.
00:01:59.100
Now, what we can control, absolutely, is how we build here at home.
00:02:05.600
And that's the focus of Budget 2025, generational investment here in Canada.
00:02:10.620
And what we can also control or at least heavily influence is developing new partnerships and
00:02:15.360
opportunities, including with the economic giants of Asia, which is the focus of this trip.
00:02:22.060
To our friends up in Canada, we apologize and we feel bad for you that you have a leader
00:02:28.060
And we wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.
00:02:31.520
And, as President Trump says, your attention to this matter.
00:02:35.100
President Trump is set to depart around 11 p.m.
00:02:37.580
Eastern time tonight from Malaysia, where he said he'll meet with other world leaders.
00:02:42.320
And he's set to meet also with the Chinese leaders and their counterparts to see if we
00:02:49.680
And New York Attorney General Big Tish James turned herself in today to in Virginia,
00:02:54.440
Norfolk, Virginia, where she was arraigned on her federal criminal case.
00:03:00.940
It was assigned to a U.S. district judge appointed by Joe Biden, Judge Jamar Walker.
00:03:08.640
James was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia earlier
00:03:12.940
According to the DOJ, Letitia James was charged with two crimes, bank fraud under 18 U.S.C.
00:03:17.740
Section 1344 and false statements to a financial institution under 18 U.S.C.
00:03:24.800
These charges are related to a mortgage loan on a property that James owns in Norfolk,
00:03:29.420
Virginia, that she referred to as her primary property.
00:03:33.680
Now, this judge, this Marxist judge that was appointed by Joe Biden, already giving Big
00:03:42.280
Former FBI Director James Comey filed a motion to disqualify Lindsey Halligan, who was the
00:03:47.060
one who brought these charges after he was indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District
00:03:50.800
And on Tuesday, the Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Comey's motion
00:03:55.620
to challenging Halligan be transferred to Judge Cameron McGowan-Curray, a Clinton appointee.
00:04:03.140
Today, Judge Jamar Walker granted Letitia James' request to consolidate her motion with
00:04:08.500
Comey's similar motion so that the Clinton judge can decide whether Halligan will be disqualified
00:04:14.440
Because, yeah, that's right, folks, the fix is already in.
00:04:19.100
The Marxist Dems in Virginia are going to try to tank this case, but I'm confident that
00:04:23.940
there's a judge somewhere in that state that will be able to uphold the rule of law.
00:04:34.740
So we're going to go another weekend with the government shutdown with our essential
00:04:40.860
Air traffic controllers, military members, you know, people of those sorts that we need
00:04:50.100
But the good news is, is the voters and the American people know exactly what's going
00:04:55.860
Hakeem Jeffries found some time out of his very busy day of going on television today
00:05:00.020
to come out and endorse, finally endorse, the socialist Marxist candidate for mayor of
00:05:08.240
Best of luck to you, Hakeem, in your future endeavors.
