Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, September 10th.
00:00:05.360
In a rare move, the Supreme Court has agreed to fast-track President Trump's tariff cases.
00:00:10.600
The Supreme Court earlier this afternoon agreeing to fast-track President Trump's tariff cases
00:00:19.180
The high court will hear the arguments the first week of November.
00:00:22.300
As reported late last month, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
00:00:26.360
rejected President Trump's authority to impose sweeping tariffs in a 7-4 decision.
00:00:32.260
In May, the Court of International Trade in New York said that President Trump exceeded his authority
00:00:37.100
to impose any tariffs under the International Emergency Economics Power Act of 1977.
00:00:43.920
The DOJ, of course, immediately appealing the federal court's decision on these tariffs.
00:00:48.300
Something tells me with the track record and the way things have been going in the Supreme Court,
00:00:52.820
they may just be on the side of truth, justice, and the American way.
00:00:56.360
Which happens to be on the side of President Trump.
00:00:59.940
The voice of reason in the Democratic Party, I never thought I'd be saying this,
00:01:03.460
seems to be Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania,
00:01:07.140
slamming his own party for embracing socialism.
00:01:10.600
Once again, Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who suffered a stroke,
00:01:13.520
is coming off as one of the most sensible members.
00:01:16.200
As Zohan Mamandani raises in the polls in New York City Merrill race,
00:01:20.020
Fetterman called the people of his own party, quote,
00:01:22.000
morons for accepting the ideology of socialism.
00:01:27.580
I literally was in a former communist nation, and I asked that.
00:01:33.220
I said, some people in my party, some of the lefties, are talking about socialism now.
00:01:41.340
You're going to need a reality check if you ever adopt any of those things.
00:01:48.500
Never did I think John Fetterman would have been the voice of reason for the Marxist Dems.
00:01:52.920
And communist Zohan Mamandani, speaking of him, appears unstoppable in New York City.
00:01:59.580
Likely, he's going to cruise to victory in the New York Merrill race, according to the latest polling data.
00:02:04.380
A poll conducted by Siena and the New York Times found that Mamandani holds a commanding 22-point lead
00:02:13.040
Mamandani is currently projected to win 46% of the vote, with Cuomo lagging behind at just 24%.
00:02:18.920
Republican Curtis Sleelaw is polling at 15%, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams is at just 9%.
00:02:25.700
Roughly 6 in 10 voters describe Mr. Mamandani as, quote,
00:02:30.020
inspiring, trustworthy, and concerned for people like themselves.
00:02:35.760
Despite widespread criticism from both Republicans and Democrats,
00:02:39.520
he also remains the only candidate with majority positive ratings among the electorate.
00:02:43.620
However, the pollsters note that Mamandani's lead is likely to shrink if other candidates pull out of the race.
00:02:50.220
It's the same talking point we've been hearing all along, that Curtis Sleela could win.
00:02:55.020
To me, it looks like the writing is on the wall, and New York is going to be faced with a Marxist socialist.
00:03:01.400
Reading and math test scores for American 12th graders has hit a new 20-year low,
00:03:09.000
This is despite the fact that the United States has spent more on education than almost any other country.
00:03:15.320
New York is currently poised to spend up to $42,000 per student this school year.
00:03:19.680
The closure of schools during COVID can be to blame in part,
00:03:22.920
but there has to be more to the story than just that.
00:03:25.760
A decades-long slide in high schoolers' reading and math performance persisted during the COVID-19 pandemic,
00:03:30.900
with 12th graders' score rates dropping to their lowest level in more than 20 years,
00:03:34.920
according to results released this afternoon from an exam known as the nation's report card.
00:03:40.420
Eighth-grade students also lost significant ground in science skills, according to the results.
00:03:45.320
The assessments were the first time since the pandemic for 8th graders in science
00:03:51.460
And this continues with the downward trend of education here in America.
00:03:55.600
Nobody other to thank than the Marxist Democrats.
00:03:57.920
And last night we saw yet another breach in Secret Service.
00:04:01.880
President Trump went out for dinner on Tuesday night in Washington, D.C.
00:04:05.120
to celebrate the stunning success of crime-fighting measures in the nation's capital.
00:04:09.720
The event was marred by protesters from Hamas terrorist supporting group Code Pink
00:04:14.240
who were waiting inside the restaurant to heckle President Trump.
00:04:18.300
The Hamas-supporting communists screamed and chanted at President Trump for nearly a minute
00:04:22.200
before they were removed from the restaurant by Secret Service.
00:04:25.680
President Trump was joined by Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
00:04:30.540
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and several other senior administration officials
00:04:35.240
for dinner at Joe's Seafood Prime Steak and Stone Crab, located just two blocks from the White House.
00:04:45.920
Allowing these Marxist sympathizers, Hamas sympathizers, to get in there and ruin other people's dinner.
00:04:53.780
Senator Rand Paul has released emails revealing that Dr. Fauci directed colleagues
00:04:58.640
to delete emails and records, despite denying this under oath.
00:05:07.140
That's right, Fauci told us multiple times under oath that he didn't delete anything.
00:05:14.000
But new emails today reveal that Fauci lied under oath.
00:05:17.480
So when will the Republicans do something about it?
00:05:22.260
Folks, please be sure to join us tonight for the Great America Show.
00:05:25.860
We're going to be joined by former Congresswoman Myra Flores.
00:05:29.660
She was redistricted out of her zone in Texas just a few years ago.
00:05:37.300
And something tells me with the new Republican redistricting map, she's got a really good chance at winning.
00:05:42.380
She joins us to give us an update on the race, how she was redistricted out, and much, much more.
00:05:53.780
That's tonight, 6 p.m. Eastern Time, the Great America Show.
