00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with This Great America Show, midday update for Monday, June 15th.
00:00:04.520 Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a wonderful and a blessed weekend, and you got to catch that Knicks game.
00:00:10.580 We're the Knicks, NBA champions, and I hope you got to watch those UFC fights on the White House lawn last night.
00:00:16.860 It was like something I think we've all never seen before.
00:00:20.480 Let's get to some news, why don't we?
00:00:21.980 President Trump, J.D. Vance, and the Speaker of Iran have officially signed that peace memo we've been talking about.
00:00:27.960 happened last night. Talks got derailed last week by fighting between Israel and Hezbollah,
00:00:33.800 which led to the U.S. and Iran trading strikes at each other. Israel attacked Hezbollah and Beirut
00:00:38.880 again over the weekend, leading to a sharp blowback from President Trump, who had a profane
00:00:44.100 response for Benjamin Netanyahu. Now, folks, this isn't the first time President Trump has
00:00:48.360 been expressing some frustration with Netanyahu over the course of the last few weeks. Now that
00:00:53.600 the deal has been signed and President Trump has prevented the Iranians from retaliating 0.75
00:00:57.180 and got israel to lay down its arms things may soon be heading with iran and israel and with
00:01:04.700 israel lebanon to their own peace agreement of their own now the agreement no longer contingent
00:01:11.020 on israel withdrawing from southern lebanon according to the memo israel has the right
00:01:15.460 to defend themselves still against hezbollah attacks according to u.s officials who had
00:01:20.620 authored this memo the completed memorandum was announced by president trump and pakistani
00:01:24.960 Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif Sunday afternoon.
00:01:29.080 President Trump said in a statement yesterday that he hereby fully authorizes the toll-free
00:01:33.260 opening of the Strait of Hormuz and simultaneously herein authorizes the immediate removal of
00:01:38.580 the United States Navy blockade, ships of the world, start your engines, and let the
00:01:43.580 oil flow.
00:01:44.860 An official signing ceremony is scheduled to be held this Friday in Switzerland.
00:01:49.240 President Trump, after that UFC event last night, head into the airport, getting on a
00:01:53.620 plane.
00:01:53.840 The man just does not stop. Got on the plane and flew over to Switzerland. He's there right now meeting with many world leaders, but namely Emmanuel Macron. So the president of peace, President Trump, getting the job done once again. It's truly, truly remarkable.
00:02:14.280 J.D. Vance making his news rounds over the weekend, joining some of the Marxist-run shows, putting to bed some of the speculation, some of the ridiculousness from some of these Marxist leftists and rhinos that Iran is all of a sudden going to get unfrozen money.
00:02:30.460 J.D. Vance had this to say about the agreement.
00:02:32.940 What the agreement does is fundamentally set up a structure whereby if the Iranians behave like a normal country, then we want to treat them like a normal country and welcome them into the world economy.
00:02:42.640 What paragraph one of the agreement says is effectively that Iran commits itself,
00:02:46.320 just as the United States commits itself, to regional peace and stability.
00:02:50.480 And part of that, Jake, is that the Iranians have to stop funding violent terrorist organizations. 0.58
00:02:55.360 They have to stop funding regional instability.
00:02:58.100 But the important thing about this agreement, Jake, is that everything,
00:03:00.700 from what Iran gives us on the nuclear program, and of course that's the most important thing,
00:03:05.240 is the commitment verifiable to never building a nuclear weapon,
00:03:08.640 All of these things come along with benefits if Iran delivers, and nothing if Iran doesn't deliver.
00:03:15.740 So we certainly expect that as part of our broader agreement, Jake, Iran is going to stop funding terrorist organizations.
00:03:21.940 Most importantly, they're going to have a verifiable commitment to not building a nuclear weapon.
00:03:26.620 But the good thing about the way that we've set this up is that we have the leverage here.
00:03:30.780 We have the ability to welcome them into the world economy if they perform.
00:03:35.040 We also have the ability to say, you know what, you don't get anything if you don't meet your end of the obligation.
00:03:39.460 Seems pretty self-explanatory to me and probably to you folks, but Obama is out here talking a whole bunch of smack.
00:03:46.780 Obama said he doubted this new U.S. agreement, and he said it's not much different from his disastrous bill he signed in 2015,
00:03:53.960 slamming President Trump, saying it's doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different
00:03:58.260 or significantly improvement from the deal that we had in the first place and had worked hard and long.
00:04:04.060 before the united states pulled out now since obama paid off the mullahs to sign billions of
00:04:09.700 dollars of iranian regime money to fund terrorism across the middle east barack hussein obama gave
00:04:16.260 the iranian regime 50 billion in a pallet of cash in the dead heat of night so i'm pretty sure this
00:04:22.740 is far different than any deal that was signed under barack hussein obama and the marxist dems
00:04:30.560 Like I said, I don't see any pallets of cash being delivered.
00:04:33.960 California Governor Gavin Newsom having a meltdown this afternoon,
00:04:38.620 saying he and his wife are under federal investigation.
00:04:41.900 The scope of the investigation is unclear.
00:04:43.420 However, Newsom said federal agents have contacted people and organizations close to him and his wife,
00:04:48.540 Jennifer Newsom.
00:04:50.000 People close to the Newsoms have been subpoenaed for records, according to the governor.
00:04:55.000 Recall that Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson,
00:04:57.800 It was indicted on federal wire fraud charges last year.
00:05:01.400 Newscom, I guess, doesn't like being held accountable for crimes.
00:05:05.280 Who knows?
00:05:05.780 I guess we're going to find out sooner or later.
00:05:07.640 Folks, please be sure to join us tonight and each and every night for The Great America Show.
00:05:10.180 Rumble YouTube, Twitter, wherever you guys join us.
00:05:12.220 We'll see you at 6 p.m. sharp.
00:05:13.840 I'm John Foss with this Great America Show midday update.
00:05:16.400 Have a great rest of your Monday, everybody.
