00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, April 28th.
00:00:05.240 Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a great weekend and your springs are springing, if that
00:00:10.480 makes any sense. Beautiful day out here in the Northeast and I hope wherever you are, it's just
00:00:14.860 the same. President Trump today floating a new income tax as a way to mitigate the impact of
00:00:21.500 his sweeping tariffs, which poll show Americans are increasingly believe will lead to higher prices.
00:00:26.200 That's not necessarily true. President Trump posting on social media, quote, when tariffs
00:00:31.140 cut in, many people's income taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely
00:00:36.780 eliminated. Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year. Trump defended the strategy
00:00:44.760 behind the steep tariffs in his post, maintaining that, quote, massive number of jobs are already
00:00:48.320 being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. He says
00:00:53.460 it will be a bonanza for America. The external revenue service is happening. Now, President
00:00:58.860 Trump still has those tariffs in on China as he works trade deals with some other Asian nations
00:01:04.320 and the European Union. President Trump and Howard Lutnik have been pretty vocal about eliminating
00:01:10.520 the tax on people making $150,000. It was originally, now they're saying under $200,000. The numbers
00:01:16.640 that'll bring in and the amount of money that'll put people's pockets, what people don't realize
00:01:21.200 is the overwhelming majority of Americans in the 80th percentile make a household income
00:01:27.400 less than $200,000 a year. So this proposition is absolutely brilliant and allow the American
00:01:32.680 people to spend their money as they want and not have the federal government taking it and
00:01:37.580 who knows what they spend it on? Perhaps harboring illegal aliens into America? Human trafficking,
00:01:43.800 drug smuggling, all that good stuff. While we're on the topic of tariffs and jobs in America,
00:01:47.920 IBM announcing this morning it plans to invest $150 billion in the U.S. over the next five years.
00:01:56.120 Now, this becomes the largest major tech firm to promise large-scale domestic investments
00:02:01.000 during the Trump administration. The company said it will dedicate $30 billion towards advancing
00:02:05.640 U.S. manufacturing of mainframe and quantum computers. Technology doesn't just build the future,
00:02:12.100 it defines it, says the IBM chair and president of CEO. We've been focused on American jobs in
00:02:18.460 manufacturing since our founding 114 years ago. And with this investment and manufacturing
00:02:23.260 commitment, we're ensuring that IBM remains the epicenter of the world's most advanced computing
00:02:28.220 and AI capabilities. Great on IBM. New polling out of CBS, the Marxist left CBS of just over 2,400 0.67
00:02:37.060 adults, reveals that 56% of Americans approve of President Donald J. Trump's program to find and
00:02:44.200 deport immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally. 90% of Republicans and 54% of independents approve,
00:02:52.040 while just 22% of Democrats approve, according to the survey that was conducted last week.
00:02:57.660 I wonder why the Democrats are so in favor of bringing illegals in here and allowing them to stay. 1.00
00:03:02.600 It doesn't really make much sense. President Trump this afternoon is expected to sign an executive
00:03:08.040 order directing the compliance of a list of states and jurisdictions that obstruct federal
00:03:12.760 immigration laws. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt laying out this morning two orders
00:03:18.220 that President Trump is set to sign on the eve of his 100th day in office. During a press briefing
00:03:23.220 along borders are Tom Homan. She says President Trump will sign the executive order on law and order
00:03:28.360 and another executive order on sanctuary cities. First executive order will strengthen and unleash
00:03:33.320 America's law enforcement to pursue criminals and protect innocent citizens. The second executive
00:03:38.840 order is centered around protecting American communities from criminal aliens and it will direct 1.00
00:03:43.140 the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to publish a list of state and local
00:03:48.340 jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws. God bless President Trump and
00:03:54.260 God bless the work he's doing in this great, great nation. The U.S. Secret Service on Sunday released a
00:04:00.080 statement with more information about the illegal alien who stole DHS Chief Kristi Noem's purse. Over the
00:04:06.300 weekend it was reported that an illegal alien was arrested for robbing Kristi Noem on Easter. 49-year-old
00:04:11.600 Mario Bustamante Lavia was located and arrested in Washington, D.C. Secret Service spokesman Anthony
00:04:18.740 Guglielmi released an update on the suspect arrest in connection with the robbery. Guglielmi says the
00:04:24.160 illegal alien is quote a serial offender who's been in the country for years. Of course he has. I'm sure 1.00
00:04:31.440 he was let in either under Barack Hussein Obama or Joseph Robinette Biden. Pretty good chance it was one
00:04:38.140 of them. I want to turn now to something that we talk about very often on this show and it's schooling
00:04:43.500 and it's proficiency within grades. So new report out taking a look at Illinois schools not one child
00:04:51.040 tested proficient in math in 80 Illinois schools. A look at data from the Illinois public schools from
00:04:57.260 2024 finds that not one single kid was able to become proficient in math and in 24 schools no child
00:05:05.360 was proficient in reading. Despite these dismal numbers 70 percent of students were graduated to
00:05:11.340 the next grade in 2024. This is according to data reviewed by Wireports. The numbers also show that
00:05:17.580 more than 18,000 Illinois students it's among more than 4,000 schools were not proficient in basic
00:05:23.840 education at age levels. The majority of those schools that failed students so badly were in Chicago
00:05:30.020 public school system. Let's not forget something folks. Chicago is run by Marxist Dems who by the way 0.98
00:05:36.180 has a seven percent approval rating I believe the last approval rating and has a massive deficit in
00:05:41.140 the city and the state of Illinois is run by a Marxist Dems Governor Pritzker. So we keep electing
00:05:49.260 these Marxist Dems and this is what the repercussions are for our students and for our children. An absolute
00:05:56.560 disgrace to this nation. An absolute disgrace to our teachers and our schooling system that have
00:06:02.040 continued and still continue to fail our students in this country. It's not just a travesty folks it's
00:06:08.580 absolutely pathetic. Folks please be sure to join us today tomorrow the next day the next day and each 0.93

00:06:40.820 polling in his first 100 days. Where we're at right now, historically where we're at, what does it look
