00:00:00.000Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, March 31st.
00:00:05.100Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a great weekend. You're ready to start your weeks, if you haven't got them started already.
00:00:10.980Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth finding himself under attack once again.
00:00:15.760You remember in the first Trump administration, the anonymous sources, we still don't know who those people were, but tons and tons of anonymous sources.
00:00:22.460Well, anonymous sources telling the Wall Street Journal that Pete Hegseth brought his wife, Jennifer Hegseth, to two meetings with foreign military officials during which they discussed sensitive information.
00:00:33.140Now, according to the Wall Street Journal, and I want to point out the Wall Street Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the man who also owns Fox News, who also used to employ Pete Hegseth for multi-million dollars a year.
00:00:45.520Sort of interesting that the Wall Street Journal, of all people, is running stories with anonymous sources.
00:00:50.280Anyway, the Wall Street Journal says that Jennifer Hegseth, a private citizen, of course, was president at a meeting at the Pentagon when Hegseth met with UK Secretary of Defense John Healy in early March.
00:01:01.520Hegseth's wife, as they say, was also president at a meeting last month at NATO headquarters in Brussels.
00:01:06.900Spouses of high-ranking presidential administration officials usually have low-level security clearances at a minimum.
00:01:13.340Pentagon declined to the Wall Street Journal whether Jennifer Hegseth has any clearance at all.
00:01:18.080Now, additionally, a defense secretary can advise guests to meetings with foreign counterparts.
00:01:23.480Folks, our good friends, the anonymous sources are back, and they're probably here to stay for the next four years.
00:01:29.160So we've got to either get used to it, or we've got to start fighting these folks, because they're going to try to destroy our country, and we cannot allow it to happen.
00:01:36.400CBS poll says that SignalGate, remember the SignalGate with Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth, has failed as Trump maintains a 50% approval rating.
00:01:46.920Media attacks on the Trump administration due to the Atlantic's leak of those signal messages do not seem tied to the evaluation of President Trump's overall approval rating.
00:01:55.440According to that new CBS poll, from March 27th and 28th, more than 2,600 Americans, President Trump sitting at a 50% approval rating.
00:02:06.020Unbelievably amazing for the president, who is making America great again.
00:02:12.080Iran has rejected talks with President Trump.
00:02:14.980Trump is now threatening bombings like they've never seen before.
00:02:18.860Trump said in early March that he has sent a letter to the so-called Islamic Republic's supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei,
00:02:26.300proposing direct talks over Iran's nuclear program in order to prevent military confrontation.
00:02:32.400Now, after Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen continued to launch attacks at Israel, missile attacks of course,
00:02:38.240as well as at the U.S. Navy and international shipping in the Red Sea,
00:02:42.600Trump said that Iran would be held directly accountable for their actions of its proxy.
00:02:50.500President Trump is, of course, the commander in peace,
00:02:54.380trying to broker peace deals with Israel, trying to broker peace deals with Gaza,
00:02:59.500trying to broker peace deals with Ukraine and Russia,
00:03:04.220and all across the board, even trying to broker peace deals with the Marxist Dems here in America.
00:03:09.340But it turns out nobody really wants peace.
00:03:12.740What is wrong with these people, folks?
00:03:14.580It's like they almost don't want to see the world exist anymore with how bad they're leading our country down these rabbit holes and down these sinkholes.
00:03:24.740If President Trump had not won in 2024 in November, this country would be on a path, folks,
00:03:31.640I think that would be irreversible when the Marxist Dems got out of office in four years.
00:03:38.800We can't sustain this now with President Trump in office.
00:03:41.980Imagine what it would have been if Donald Trump, God forbid, did not win in November.
