00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, February 24th.
00:00:06.000 Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a great weekend and your week is off to a good start.
00:00:12.000 Well, over the weekend, a lot of things happening, if you weren't paying attention to the media,
00:00:15.840 as we like to try to do here on the Great America Show and take a break,
00:00:19.920 maybe a day or a few hours out of the weekend, to not deal with politics or the news.
00:00:25.000 We can't really help it in the Trump administration.
00:00:27.140 Our job's here, folks, 24-7, 365 with this new administration in, and we're all for it.
00:00:34.580 So the FBI was starting to make great again last week, towards the end of the week,
00:00:39.540 when Cash Patel was sworn in as the next director of the FBI.
00:00:43.780 Just last night, we find out who the next deputy director of the FBI will be.
00:00:48.880 Very familiar name in the conservative households, the great Dan Bongino,
00:00:53.480 former Secret Service agent, of course. You may all have seen him on Fox News.
00:00:58.980 He served as Secret Service agent from 1999 to 2011.
00:01:02.480 As I said, spent some time at Fox News after, before departing Fox News, of course,
00:01:08.280 like the rest of everybody else, Fox News values and views didn't exactly align with Dan,
00:01:12.940 so Dan left off to head on into independent media, where he has a very, very successful show on Rumble
00:01:19.480 that he does each and every day, that he's going to be putting on a brief hold while he goes over
00:01:24.280 to the FBI and helps Cash Patel make the FBI and America great again.
00:01:30.120 Also, some big news over the weekend in the mainstream media.
00:01:34.260 Joy Reid, you know that Trump hater over at MSNBC?
00:01:37.520 Well, she's out at the network. About time, right?
00:01:43.040 Unbelievable. I mean, the things that are happening in this country
00:01:46.940 in just a month since President Trump has taken office, it's truly remarkable.
00:01:52.820 Reid, Joy Reid, is just an absolute Trump hater, a hater of America,
00:01:57.320 a hater of everything this country stands for.
00:01:59.540 So, maybe MSNBC and these Marxist-run media outlets are getting the hint
00:02:03.920 that the American people are tired of hearing their nonsense, their lies, and their deception,
00:02:09.140 and they want the truth, and the truth starts with getting people like her the heck out of that place.
00:02:15.520 And Attorney General Pam Bondi, also over the weekend,
00:02:19.320 is saying she's ready to release the Epstein files that they're sitting on her desk,
00:02:25.140 just finishing up some paperwork,
00:02:28.680 and they're apparently going to get them off as soon as this week, possibly.
00:02:31.820 Now, some names being floated in that.
00:02:35.820 Well, you know what? We won't even tease it.
00:02:38.040 We'll let them come out for themselves so we don't ruin any surprises.
00:02:43.080 But Pam Bondi also issuing a stern warning over the weekend to Democratic governors
00:02:47.100 who are refusing to comply with the deportation of illegal aliens.
00:02:51.920 Bondi, of course, getting pushback from the Marxist Dem,
00:02:54.880 governors of New York and Illinois, Pritzker, Hochul, a few others,
00:02:59.820 who just can't seem to get it together.
00:03:02.500 Take a listen to Pam Bondi over the weekend responding to these Marxist Dems.
00:03:08.540 When they say they're tough and they have grit,
00:03:10.820 really, they're protecting illegal aliens over American citizens.
00:03:15.600 Not going to happen under Donald Trump's administration.
00:03:19.200 We will find illegal aliens and we will deport them in Illinois, in New York, and in other states.
00:03:26.180 And you better comply with federal law or you're going to be next.
00:03:30.760 We've spoken loud and clear.
00:03:33.300 We are sick and tired of Americans being murdered and these states protecting illegal aliens.
00:03:39.940 Hats off to Pam Bondi as she's already off to a great start, as is the rest of President Trump's cabinet.
00:03:47.000 I have zero complaints and I think a lot of us other MAGA people really have nothing to complain about just yet
00:03:55.060 as they're doing a terrific, terrific job.
00:03:57.420 Just south of the border sits Mexico.
00:04:00.120 Mexico's President Scheinbaum having a very tough time dealing with Donald Trump back in office.
00:04:05.560 President Scheinbaum revealed that her government over the weekend, of course,
00:04:09.540 is studying a letter sent by jail drug lord Ismael El Mayo Zimbada.
00:04:16.000 He's asking for help as he faces a possible life sentence and even the death penalty for his crimes
00:04:20.460 as one of the supreme leaders of the Sinaloa cartel.
00:04:24.340 The letter comes just days after Scheinbaum filed a series of proposed changes to the country's constitution
00:04:29.340 that would impair foreign investigations and actions against drug cartels,
00:04:33.740 even though the United States government formally designated the Sinaloa cartel
00:04:38.060 and five other Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:04:42.600 So why is Scheinbaum, who's the president of Mexico,
00:04:46.500 who should have the best interest of her country and saving her country,
00:04:50.280 why is she protecting drug lords?
00:04:53.300 Why is she protecting cartels?
00:04:55.560 Why is she fighting President Trump on securing our border and her border?
00:04:59.540 It makes you wonder, folks, just when you thought maybe Mexico may be getting it together
00:05:04.900 with Scheinbaum making a deal to secure the border,
00:05:08.080 it seems like it all goes down the drain because everything reverts back to her protecting cartels.
00:05:13.760 A lot of questions need to be answered about that lady and whose best interest she has.
00:05:19.720 Is it her country's or her own personal pockets?
00:05:22.600 In a report, thousands of USAID employees are laid off, thousands more placed on leave.
00:05:29.220 More than 2,000 employees at the United States Agency for International Development were fired.
00:05:34.200 Thousands more are waiting to see what the deal is, if they will still have a job.
00:05:38.820 Staffers received notices informing them as of 11.59 p.m. on Sunday night, February 23rd.
00:05:44.600 All USAID employees would be placed on administrative leave globally,
00:05:50.220 except for employees responsible for mission-critical functions and core leadership.
00:05:54.960 Huh.
00:05:56.060 So it sounds like USAID is on its way out the door.
00:05:59.920 God bless America, folks.
