Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, October 31st.
00:00:05.440
President Trump is calling on the Senate to initiate the nuclear option and get rid of the filibuster.
00:00:11.160
It's been 31 days since the Schumer shutdown with no end in sight.
00:00:16.640
President Trump last night called on Republicans to initiate the nuclear option, get rid of this filibuster once and for all.
00:00:22.320
It takes 60 votes to invoke cloture and to end the filibuster.
00:00:26.520
After President Trump writing on Truth Social in all caps, quote,
00:00:30.760
Because of the fact that Democrats have gone stone cold crazy, the choice is clear.
00:00:35.680
Initiate the nuclear option, get rid of the filibuster and make America great again.
00:00:40.260
In a follow up post on Truth Social, President Trump said that during his trip to Asia this week,
00:00:44.720
everyone kept asking him how the Democrats shut down the government.
00:00:48.360
Quote, I just got back from Asia where I met with leaders of many countries including China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Australia,
00:00:55.680
Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and others.
00:01:00.220
It was a great honor to meet with them, but more particularly to see that America is respected again.
00:01:07.760
Great trade deals were made, long-term relationships now exist,
00:01:10.620
and money is pouring into our country because of tariffs,
00:01:13.160
and frankly, the landslide results of the 2024 presidential election.
00:01:16.980
The one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the Democrats shut down the United States,
00:01:23.340
and why did the powerful Republicans allow them to do it?
00:01:26.600
The fact is, in flying back, I thought a great deal about the question, why?
00:01:31.240
President Trump said the Democrats want trillions of dollars to be taken from the healthcare system
00:01:38.660
President Trump encouraging Senate Republicans to play the Trump card and end the filibuster
00:01:43.380
and get this government open for the American people.
00:01:47.340
I'm not entirely sure I agree with that option, but if President Trump says it,
00:01:53.080
FBI Director Cash Patel reportedly ousting one of the leading special agents
00:01:57.300
who oversaw Arctic Frost's investigation into President Trump.
00:02:01.300
Arctic Frost was the taxpayer-funded witch hunt that launched in April of 2022
00:02:05.160
that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to President Trump and Mike Pence
00:02:09.000
while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.
00:02:11.920
The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open Arctic Frost
00:02:16.920
to end this investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.
00:02:22.440
Aaron Tapp is the special agent in charge leading the San Antonio field office.
00:02:26.760
According to Aaron Tapp's LinkedIn page, he has served the FBI for more than 20 years.
00:02:35.280
President Trump, in the late days of October, between two majestic trips to Asia,
00:02:39.780
posing for a series of iconic portraits featured now in Time magazine.
00:02:45.960
President Trump bolstered his legacy, first brokering peace across the Middle East
00:02:49.540
and then supercharging U.S. relations with East Asia-dominant powers.
00:02:54.060
President Trump now finally being recognized as he should have been back in 2016
00:02:59.720
for making America great again, for making America safe again,
00:03:03.560
for making, quite honestly, the country safe again and the world safe again
00:03:08.020
through leaders and dictators, Joe Biden, Barack Hussein Obama,
00:03:14.300
who got us into just a total mess in this country that Donald Trump is now pulling us out of.
00:03:20.360
Byron Donald is still a congressman from Florida,
00:03:22.160
but he's seeking the nomination to become the next governor of Florida,
00:03:27.120
is now seeking to impeach corrupt Judge James Bosberg
00:03:35.000
I mean, this is a long topic we've talked about many times on The Great America Show,
00:03:39.060
about rogue judges finally being held accountable
00:03:41.820
for, you know, all the corruption that they've pushed across America.
00:03:47.520
It's good to see that there's some members of Congress
00:03:49.400
who are finally going to hold these people accountable
00:03:51.220
for the bad things they've done to this country.
00:03:56.080
in an alleged Halloween terror plot in Michigan.
00:03:59.440
Federal agents in Michigan stormed in the houses of multiple individuals
00:04:02.480
after they allegedly plotted a violent attack over the Halloween weekend.
00:04:14.700
who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend.
00:04:20.540
and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24-7
00:04:23.600
and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.
00:04:27.260
The FBI's Detroit field office said the FBI and Michigan
00:04:30.160
were present in cities of Dearborn and Inkster this morning
00:04:37.040
The Dearborn Police Department also acknowledged federal operations,
00:04:55.720
We still have to deal with this inside of America.
