00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, October 29th.
00:00:05.960 The Rhinos in the Senate have done it again. 0.84
00:00:08.500 The Senate this week voting 52-48 to nuke President Trump's 50% tariff on Brazil.
00:00:14.600 House Speaker Mike Johnson will not hold a vote on the measure,
00:00:17.860 so the U.S. Senate's vote was just a waste of time,
00:00:20.720 just allowing them to show their true colors and who they really are.
00:00:24.080 Of course, President Trump would never sign the measure into law anyway,
00:00:27.020 but five Rhinos Republicans voted with the Democrats to repeal the tariffs on incoming materials.
00:00:33.900 You can probably guess who a few of them are, but some surprising ones, I guess.
00:00:38.060 Well, I guess it's never a surprise.
00:00:40.300 Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Tom Tillis of North Carolina, 0.96
00:00:47.680 and the last one, Rand Paul of Kentucky, a man who's been making a total fool of himself lately.
00:00:52.800 Earlier this year, the Senate, led by the Rhinos, voted to nuke President Trump's Canadian tariffs.
00:00:59.300 Rhinos, Murkowski, Collins, McConnell, and Rand Paul voted to repeal those as well.
00:01:04.160 President Trump is curling the Supreme Court, fighting to keep his tariffs in place
00:01:07.420 after a court said that Trump exceeded his authority.
00:01:11.280 Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to fast-track President Trump's tariff case.
00:01:15.240 They're expected to hear it in the next week or so.
00:01:17.440 So, in May, the Court of International Trade in New York said President Trump exceeded his authority
00:01:21.540 to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economics Power Act of 1977.
00:01:28.480 The OJ immediately appealed to Federal Appeals Court,
00:01:31.360 and they are waiting now for the Supreme Court to go ahead and take that up.
00:01:34.820 I believe the date is November 5th is when they'll be taking it up.
00:01:38.980 Don't hold me to it. I believe that is the date.
00:01:41.160 The Rhinos in the Senate, just as bad, folks, as the Marxist Dems. 0.98
00:01:46.820 Not sure what their deal is, but we all know what to do when it comes time to vote for them, right?
00:01:52.040 And speaking of rogue judges, Clinton judge has indefinitely barred Trump from firing federal workers
00:01:57.600 during the Schumer shutdown.
00:01:59.680 The federal judge, this afternoon, indefinitely barred President Trump from firing any of those people
00:02:03.940 during this shutdown.
00:02:04.860 U.S. District Judge Susan Ilston, a San Francisco-based Clinton appointee,
00:02:09.440 granted a preliminary injunction that blocks President Trump from firing any of these people
00:02:14.440 while the lawsuits make their way through the court.
00:02:17.940 Earlier this month, Judge Ilston issued a temporary restraining order
00:02:20.980 to stop the Trump administration from firing federal workers,
00:02:23.980 and today she expanded on that block.
00:02:26.100 Of course, going against what the Supreme Court said,
00:02:28.220 that these courts can't just continue to do their blanket restraints against President Trump
00:02:34.600 because they have Trump derangement syndrome.
00:02:36.180 Now, the Schumer shutdown began on October 1st.
00:02:38.280 Senate has voted now 13 times and failed 13 times to reopen the government
00:02:42.200 because Schumer wants to give illegals health care.
00:02:45.640 Layoffs of federal employees began earlier this month as the government shut down
00:02:49.340 and entered another tense phase, according to the Trump administration budget chief, Russ Vogt.
00:02:54.780 So, we have to wait and see now what the Marxist Dems want to do.
00:02:59.160 Yes, kings!
00:03:00.280 President Trump becomes the first president to receive South Korea's highest honor.
00:03:03.740 South Korean President Lee Jae-myung on Wednesday presented President Trump with South Korea's highest honor.
00:03:10.960 They presented President Trump with the Grand Order of Mugungwa,
00:03:13.880 along with a replica of the Golden Crown.
00:03:17.540 Lee says the honors were a token of new trust and companionship between Korea and the United States.
00:03:23.940 Get it, folks?
00:03:24.720 No kings, but they presented President Trump with the Golden Crown.
00:03:27.720 That's got to drive the Marxist Dems crazy. 0.97
00:03:33.240 Junkyard Jackal Special Counsel Jack Smith, just when he thought he was going to be safe?
00:03:39.020 Nah, not so fast.
00:03:40.380 The latest Arctic Frost list confirms that Jack Smith and his Marxist Dems were aiming to wipe MAGA off the map
00:03:47.620 and ultimately jail all MAGA leaders, folks.
00:03:51.080 A new report out from the Senate Judiciary Committee this week tells that Arctic Frost investigators utilized FBI field offices
00:03:58.500 from across the country to conduct their own investigations.
00:04:02.000 Arctic Frost investigators requested $16,000 to travel to conduct more than 40 interviews,
00:04:08.440 100 interviews, including Peter Navarro, Dan Scavino, Jeff Rosen, Ed Martin, all under investigation.
00:04:15.640 But what was the crime?
00:04:16.900 The truth of the matter was there is no crime.
00:04:18.920 Smith and Biden's team were attempting to eradicate MAGA from the country
00:04:22.260 by trying to eliminate over 100 of its state and national leaders.
00:04:26.880 We all knew how rogue Jack Smith was because he had unlimited money, to be honest.
00:04:31.520 But we never thought it was this bad, folks.
00:04:34.000 And I think it's only going to get worse as more news comes out
00:04:36.500 talking about just how bad these folks were and just how deep they were digging
00:04:41.520 and reaching to try to get anybody connected with MAGA,
00:04:44.600 anyone who's wore a Donald Trump hat, for that matter.
