Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, June 9th.
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.
00:00:16.500
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?
00:00:45.220
Even if you're not planning to invoke the Insurrection Act, do you still plan to send troops?
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.
00:01:03.660
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.
00:01:11.500
Now, those of you who join us each and every day for the Great America Show,
00:01:16.200
that the Marxist Dems are planning another summer of love.
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,
00:01:40.180
Now, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass says this is all Donald Trump's fault.
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
00:01:58.580
and that there was no need to federalize troops.
00:02:02.320
And so to have this here is really just a provocation
00:02:08.580
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
00:02:43.140
Why did President Trump have to send in the National Guard and now possibly the Marines
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?
00:03:03.040
Well, it shouldn't be incumbent upon President Trump and the federal government
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
00:03:18.500
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.
00:03:37.280
He's the most successful businessman in the world, richest man in the world.
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.
00:04:06.120
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,
00:04:15.680
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.
00:04:33.120
While he knew Jeffrey Epstein, and while, yes, he may be in the files,
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.
00:05:04.860
To the best of my knowledge and everything that I know, it's not true.
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.
00:05:26.060
I wanted to literally follow and find out who this Jane Doe was.
00:05:35.400
That was the first and only case that I had any knowledge of all of these allegations.
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
