00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update from Monday, May 19th.
00:00:04.360 Happy Monday, folks.
00:00:05.720 Hope your Mondays are all off to a great start and you had a terrific weekend and you're ready to start the work week.
00:00:10.760 A massive win for the Trump administration this afternoon from the Supreme Court.
00:00:15.100 The Supreme Court today allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 plus Venezuelans,
00:00:21.740 potentially exposing them to deportation.
00:00:24.160 The court's order, which only had one dissent, puts hold of a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco
00:00:29.580 that kept in place temporary protective status for Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month.
00:00:35.980 Status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries
00:00:40.400 are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife.
00:00:45.360 So now, with the Supreme Court ruling today, that's no longer valid here in this country.
00:00:50.680 Good on the Supreme Court. Now let's get a few more victories and we can get this America First agenda rolling.
00:00:56.820 The House Budget Committee has passed President Trump's budget reconciliation package.
00:01:01.820 It passed on Sunday night with a vote of 17 to 16 with four people voting present.
00:01:06.600 After failing to pass President Trump's budget package on Friday, GOP lawmakers have reconvened
00:01:11.640 and now they might be ready to get ready and pass that thing on the House floor.
00:01:17.540 House Republicans are taking intense talks with hardliners about changes to the bill,
00:01:21.440 which is expected to make implementations of Medicare and Medicaid work and requirements sooner
00:01:26.800 and more quickly phase out green energy tax credits.
00:01:30.080 But as of Sunday night's committee passing, Republicans not detailing what changes are currently on the table.
00:01:37.440 Sources involved in the reconciliation talk that four hardliners conservatives,
00:01:41.420 Norman, Roy, Clyde, and Breachin, are still pushing for FMAP changes.
00:01:46.920 This has been lined that moderates are not willing to cross.
00:01:50.900 President Donald Trump cheering on and saying that this is just a massive win for MAGA
00:01:56.060 as they get ready to look forward to passing it, as I said, on the House floor.
00:01:59.480 This is great news for President Trump, great news for MAGA and everybody involved
00:02:04.320 as they look forward to pushing tax cuts for the American worker, tax cuts for corporations,
00:02:09.040 bringing jobs back here to America, all part of the America First agenda.
00:02:12.780 Letitia James, her problems continue and continue and continue. 0.91
00:02:17.800 Legal precedent is suggesting that Letitia James could face disbarment in New York. 1.00
00:02:22.600 Now, just three weeks ago, America First Legal filed a formal bar complaint
00:02:26.380 with New York State Grievance Committee against Attorney General Letitia James.
00:02:30.480 In New York State, attorneys are held to stringent ethical standards of violations,
00:02:34.320 especially those involving dishonesty or fraud,
00:02:36.780 that lead to severe disciplinary consequences, including disbarment and criminal prosecution.
00:02:41.480 Historically, New York has disbarred attorneys who engage in mortgage fraud and related misconduct.
00:02:47.200 This historic precedent is not going to bode well for Letitia James, who is being accused of just that. 0.97
00:02:52.860 Not good for Letitia James, as she may have committed some mortgage fraud and insurance fraud 1.00
00:02:58.340 and a few things along the way.
00:03:00.640 We'll keep you updated here on The Great America Show as we continue to monitor what goes on with Big Tish James.
00:03:07.420 Congressman James Comer, who is the head of the House Oversight Committee,
00:03:10.260 he's opening up some new investigations into the Biden family.
00:03:13.900 Over the weekend, we find out that Joe Biden has been diagnosed with severe metastatic prostate cancer,
00:03:19.840 which means it's in his bones, which means it probably wasn't just now that he found out,
00:03:25.180 which means it probably has been years, years, years under wraps
00:03:29.480 as he ran for president and was president of the United States.
00:03:33.220 So James Comer now wants to know who signed those pardons, those blanket pardons,
00:03:38.360 at the end of the Biden administration that were done with the auto pen.
00:03:42.380 Comer is now vowing to look into that and issue some subpoenas, too.
00:03:46.240 He says he knows just exactly who in the Biden administration was responsible for it
00:03:51.120 and who was responsible for operating that auto pen.
00:03:54.480 Comer says they could either come in or they can be subpoenaed.
00:03:57.860 It's their choice.
00:03:58.920 We'll have to wait and see.
00:04:01.840 And the Ivy League institutions, the woke institutions, I guess, as we should say,
00:04:06.160 now starting to pay the price for their stubbornness.
00:04:09.220 Columbia University's recent decision to lay off nearly 180 staff members
00:04:12.960 is a stark reminder of real-world consequences for being an elitist
00:04:17.380 who thinks that the rules don't apply to you.
00:04:20.500 The cuts in funding for the university,
00:04:22.420 looking at $400 million in revocation of federal grants under the Trump administration,
00:04:28.580 highlighting the school's stubbornness for refusal to adapt to a reasonable demand.
00:04:32.720 These staffers are paying the price for the school's defiance
00:04:34.900 while the university's leadership retreats to their gilded mansions unscathed.
00:04:40.100 Harvard is on that list, and so is Columbia.
00:04:42.660 They're going to pay the price for being woke and indoctrinating
00:04:45.900 and not standing up for truth, justice, and the American way.
