00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, September 3rd.
00:00:05.480 The appeals court once again ruling in favor of illegal aliens coming into this country illegally.
00:00:12.340 The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday evening rejected President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act
00:00:18.120 to deport Venezuelan illegals in a two-to-one decision.
00:00:21.880 The three-judge panel included Majority Southwich, which was a George W. Bush appointee,
00:00:26.160 Ramirez, who was appointed by Joe Biden, and dissenting his old home, a Trump appointee.
00:00:32.200 The Majority ruled that there has been no invasion or no predatory incursion.
00:00:37.340 Can you imagine that?
00:00:38.760 The Fifth Circuit is the first federal appeals court to rule directly on a March 14th presidential proclamation
00:00:44.300 invoking the 1798 law to justify rapid deportation.
00:00:49.980 Circuit Judge Leslie Southwick, writing for the two judges of the Majority,
00:00:53.720 rejected the Trump administration's assertion that the Venezuelan gang,
00:00:57.480 Trende Agua, had engaged in any kind of predatory incursion on U.S. soil.
00:01:04.260 Yes, I'll read that to you again, because I don't understand it just as much as you probably don't.
00:01:10.740 She rejected that Trende Agua had engaged in any sort of predatory incursion.
00:01:17.420 Yes, they're here. Trende Agua's here to make peace and to work and to be great, great people in society.
00:01:24.940 The act gives the government expansive powers to detain and deport citizens of hostile foreign nations,
00:01:30.620 but only in times of war during an invasion of predatory incursion.
00:01:34.700 Earlier this year, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting
00:01:38.600 dangerous Venezuelan gang members under this Alien Enemies Act. 0.55
00:01:42.360 In an unsigned order, the high court said that Trump's DOJ did not give Venezuelans enough time to challenge their removals.
00:01:49.780 The case then went back to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals,
00:01:52.400 and a three-judge panel ruled against President Trump in this most recent ruling.
00:01:56.420 Although several district court judges have ruled against President Trump's decision to invoke this Alien Enemies Act
00:02:01.520 to deport the Venezuelans, 0.98
00:02:03.180 a federal judge in Pennsylvania on Tuesday became the first to say that Trump can invoke an AEA
00:02:09.100 to deport Trende Agua gang members.
00:02:12.440 So we'll see how this all plays out.
00:02:15.160 President Trump is winning on the crime-fighting front, at least in Washington, D.C.
00:02:19.700 Last week, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser shocked Democrats and their media allies
00:02:25.320 by acknowledging that Trump's crackdown on crime in her city was helpful and effective.
00:02:30.360 The one issue that liberals have held is that Trump's D.C. takeover was only in effect for 30 days,
00:02:36.700 unless he declared an emergency.
00:02:38.400 Now, Muriel Bowser had issued an executive order for local law enforcement
00:02:43.400 to work with federal officials indefinitely,
00:02:46.900 which means President Trump doesn't have to declare an emergency.
00:02:49.980 She clearly thinks this is an arrangement that is working out well.
00:02:53.440 Now, this is a huge win for President Trump,
00:02:55.240 but more importantly, a massive win for the people who live and work in that Marxist-run city.
00:03:00.780 But we give credit where credit is due,
00:03:02.680 Muriel Bowser, for working with President Trump
00:03:04.880 to get crime off the streets in Washington, D.C.
00:03:08.160 is a good thing for all Americans.
00:03:10.440 And House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer,
00:03:12.440 who I give credit to each and every day on The Great America Show,
00:03:16.240 because he truly deserves it.
00:03:17.880 It's a man who I think is trying to do the best job he could possibly do.
00:03:20.980 So, releasing 33,000 pages of Epstein documents
00:03:24.080 that were handed over from the Department of Justice.
00:03:26.680 So, new information that we're learning from these documents,
00:03:30.520 from these 33,000 pages,
00:03:31.860 just nine days before his death,
00:03:34.040 Epstein did not appear to be an immediate threat to himself,
00:03:37.480 per a Bureau of Prisons suicide risk assessment.
00:03:40.940 This, of course, coming out in those Oversight Committee Epstein files.
00:03:44.140 But we're to believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself
00:03:47.560 because that's what Dan Bongino told us.
00:03:50.600 Also coming out in the files released by James Comer,
00:03:54.640 the so-called missing minute in the Epstein prison surveillance video
00:03:57.840 released by the FBI over the summer
00:03:59.400 has been found in the tranche of documents that was just released.
00:04:03.740 Remember, over the summer,
00:04:04.620 the FBI and DOJ released a memo that concluded
00:04:06.760 Jeffrey Epstein didn't have a client list
00:04:08.960 and that he was not used for blackmail.
00:04:10.920 The FBI earlier determined that Epstein did commit suicide,
00:04:14.800 as I said, Dan Bongino reassuring us.
00:04:17.740 The DOJ and FBI also released that 10-hour video
00:04:20.400 from outside Epstein's jail cell.
00:04:22.900 With that minute missing,
00:04:24.020 you remember Pam Bondi came out and said,
00:04:25.980 no, that's normal for the last 30 years.
00:04:28.860 That minute has been missing every night.
00:04:30.860 Well, somehow it's turned up
00:04:32.240 and it's turned up in James Comer's files.
00:04:34.840 I ask everybody to have patience with Comer.
00:04:36.700 He's doing the Lord's work
00:04:37.920 and he's doing a hell of a job at it.
00:04:40.300 Keep faith in that man
00:04:41.660 because he's going to be the one, I think,
00:04:43.580 who brings a lot of things to light.
00:04:45.860 Senate Republicans are considering a rule change
00:04:48.100 to speed up the approval of President Trump's nominees.
00:04:51.380 This week, they're debating a possible rule change
00:04:53.340 to the chamber's confirmation process
00:04:54.940 as it faces a massive backlot of judicial nominations.
00:04:59.080 President Trump has slammed
00:05:00.260 Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley
00:05:02.060 for not abandoning the chamber's, quote,
00:05:04.340 blue slip tradition,
00:05:05.800 which is when the Judiciary Committee
00:05:07.180 sends blue slips to the senators
00:05:08.800 from the U.S. attorney
00:05:10.140 or federal judicial nominee's home state
00:05:12.440 for feedback on the nomination.
00:05:14.940 If the senator fails to return the blue slip,
00:05:17.420 then typically the nomination would be rejected.
00:05:20.380 Senate Republicans are hoping to move up
00:05:22.180 or quickly change the rules
00:05:23.320 to approve Trump's nominees
00:05:24.540 during a meeting this afternoon.
00:05:27.480 Many ideas have been floated,
00:05:29.080 but the most popular appears to be based
00:05:30.860 on a Democratic proposal
00:05:32.880 from two years ago
00:05:34.560 that would allow a single vote 0.53
00:05:36.240 on up to 10 nominees.
00:05:38.900 We'll have to wait and see.
00:05:40.560 It's up to John Thune,
00:05:41.600 who could have done recess appointments,
00:05:43.620 but decided not to
00:05:44.800 because he is a rhino.
00:05:46.460 Folks, please be sure to join us today
00:05:48.020 for The Great America Show.
00:05:49.040 We're going to be joined by my friend
00:05:50.180 and great congressman
00:05:51.600 from the great state of Tennessee,
00:05:53.300 Tim Burchett.
00:05:54.440 We're going to take up.
00:05:55.280 Congress is back in session.
00:05:56.600 He sits on the Oversight Committee,
00:05:57.860 so we're going to find out
00:05:59.220 what's going on
00:05:59.900 and what's on the agenda
00:06:00.900 for this coming term,
00:06:03.340 this coming fall in Congress.
00:06:06.120 Can they push through
00:06:07.100 President Trump's agenda
00:06:08.120 or are they just going to sit on their hands
00:06:10.180 as they usually do?
00:06:11.380 That's tonight, 6 p.m. Eastern
00:06:12.640 on The Great America Show, folks.
00:06:13.860 We'll see you there.
00:06:14.820 I'm John Fawcett
00:06:15.560 with this midday update.
00:06:16.740 Have a great day, everybody.
