00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, June 9th.
00:00:04.520 Happy Monday, folks.
00:00:06.200 If you took the weekend off from the news or you've just been laying low, trying to relax,
00:00:10.820 you probably don't know what's going on in California right now.
00:00:13.380 There's a full-blown insurrection.
00:00:16.500 Not an insurrection like they said happened on January 6th.
00:00:19.780 This pales in comparison to what's going on right now in Los Angeles as we speak.
00:00:24.420 President Trump over the weekend sending in the National Guard,
00:00:26.800 now looking at possibly sending in the U.S. Marines
00:00:30.580 as the anti-ice protests are really, really getting bad.
00:00:34.600 Take a listen to President Trump just as he departed Morristown Airport last night.
00:00:39.320 Even if you don't plan to invoke the Insurrection Act, do you plan to send troops to Los Angeles?
00:00:44.660 What?
00:00:45.220 Even if you're not planning to invoke the Insurrection Act, do you still plan to send troops?
00:00:49.240 Well, we're going to have troops everywhere.
00:00:50.740 We're not going to let this happen to our country.
00:00:52.480 We're not going to let our country be torn apart like it was under Biden.
00:00:57.240 And this auto-pen.
00:00:59.580 What is the bar for sending Marines?
00:01:02.160 The bar is what I think it is.
00:01:03.660 I mean, if we see danger to our country and to our citizens,
00:01:07.020 we'll be very, very strong in terms of law and order.
00:01:09.820 It's about law and order.
00:01:11.500 Now, those of you who join us each and every day for the Great America Show,
00:01:14.260 I've been saying for the last month or two
00:01:16.200 that the Marxist Dems are planning another summer of love.
00:01:19.480 It may not be Black Lives Matters this time,
00:01:21.840 but it's another organization that's fully funding these paid terrorists
00:01:26.920 who are bashing police cars, who are destroying their city,
00:01:31.560 burning down electric vehicles, burning down Waymo rideshare service vehicles,
00:01:37.220 absolutely obliterating their city.
00:01:40.180 Now, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass says this is all Donald Trump's fault.
00:01:44.240 Take a listen to this numbskull.
00:01:45.640 This is intentional chaos.
00:01:48.720 You know, I had talked to representatives of the Trump administration earlier on
00:01:52.980 to tell them that the Los Angeles Police Department
00:01:55.660 could control things that were happening here
00:01:58.580 and that there was no need to federalize troops.
00:02:02.320 And so to have this here is really just a provocation
00:02:06.040 and something that was not needed in our city.
00:02:08.580 We're still recovering after five months from the city's worst natural disaster in decades.
00:02:17.280 And now to go through a trauma like this that is really traumatizing the whole city
00:02:21.600 because everybody knows somebody in a city where more than 50 percent are Latino,
00:02:28.960 this just sows chaos that is not warranted nor needed in the city of Los Angeles at this point in time.
00:02:36.280 So my question to the mayor is, why is she not doing anything in her city
00:02:40.280 to stop these riots and insurrections?
00:02:43.140 Why did President Trump have to send in the National Guard and now possibly the Marines
00:02:47.140 if she has it under control?
00:02:49.840 The whole thing stems from ICE going into the city and pulling out criminal, illegal aliens.
00:02:56.820 So why is Karen Bass not on the side of truth, justice, and the American way? 0.98
00:03:01.560 She should have her city under control.
00:03:03.040 Well, it shouldn't be incumbent upon President Trump and the federal government
00:03:06.080 to go in there and stop this insurrection.
00:03:09.260 Donald Trump has seen enough, so he's taking action.
00:03:12.500 And Elon Musk's father is speaking out about the feud between his son
00:03:16.380 and the President of the United States.
00:03:18.500 Errol Musk says that his son made a mistake by betraying President Trump
00:03:22.320 and that Trump will ultimately prevail in their ongoing dispute.
00:03:26.380 Elon's father attributes the argument, the fight, the breakdown by his son,
00:03:30.740 to being under a lot of stress for the last few months in the administration.
00:03:35.120 But he knew what he was getting into, right?
00:03:37.280 He's the most successful businessman in the world, richest man in the world.
00:03:41.120 This should have been child's play for him.
00:03:43.080 There was never any reason for him to go personal on Donald Trump,
00:03:46.600 who's been nothing but a friend to him, and in fact, an only friend to him.
00:03:50.480 And you know it's bad when former Trump attorney Michael Cohen,
00:03:54.280 distraged former Trump attorney, was on MSNBC defending President Trump
00:03:59.460 and the allegations that Elon made against him regarding the Jeffrey Epstein list.
00:04:05.060 Take a listen.
00:04:06.120 Is there a world in which these two transactional guys, Musk and Trump,
00:04:10.920 figure out that it's better not to be fighting and come back together,
00:04:14.140 or you think this thing is worse?
00:04:15.680 No, I think once Elon went so low in terms of talking about Epstein,
00:04:21.060 and if we can stay on that topic for a quick second, look,
00:04:25.060 I have extensive knowledge of Trump being by his side for almost a decade and a half.
00:04:30.600 Right.
00:04:30.940 Let me dispel all of that notion.
00:04:33.120 While he knew Jeffrey Epstein, and while, yes, he may be in the files,
00:04:36.980 in the form of Trump being in the black book,
00:04:40.920 so are hundreds and hundreds of very name-worthy, influential individuals.
00:04:47.660 I have zero knowledge of any relationship between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein,
00:04:54.720 and I would have seen it over the course of a decade.
00:04:57.340 Well, literally, because your prosecution was all about how much you knew,
00:05:01.000 and your testimony to Congress was all about how much you knew.
00:05:02.640 Correct. And I'm telling you, it's nonsense.
00:05:04.860 To the best of my knowledge and everything that I know, it's not true.
00:05:09.860 In fact, there was one case that came up.
00:05:12.060 It was a Jane Doe versus Donald Trump that brought this topic into question.
00:05:16.940 And what ultimately I discovered is the Jane Doe, and there was an address in the Bronx.
00:05:23.300 I sent an investigator to that address.
00:05:26.060 I wanted to literally follow and find out who this Jane Doe was.
00:05:30.320 There's not even a building there.
00:05:31.580 It was a vacant lot.
00:05:33.120 And so I reached out to the lawyers.
00:05:35.400 That was the first and only case that I had any knowledge of all of these allegations.
00:05:41.140 There you have it, folks.
00:05:42.340 Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen coming to his defense.
00:05:45.260 No friend of President Trump's, but coming to his defense regarding the Elon allegations.
00:05:51.780 Folks, please be sure to join us tonight for The Great America Show.
00:05:53.940 We're going to be joined by Rasmussen Reports' lead pollster Mark Mitchell.
