00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, July 16th.
00:00:04.780 Happy Thursday, folks. I hope you all had a great day.
00:00:07.140 President Trump, in a primetime address to the nation just moments ago,
00:00:10.960 says that for many years he's called for bold, swift, and decisive action
00:00:14.480 to protect the integrity of America's elections.
00:00:17.640 We've gotten everything but that.
00:00:19.760 Take a listen to President Trump in part of his address to the nation.
00:00:23.260 For many years I've called for bold, swift, and decisive action
00:00:28.260 to protect the integrity of America's elections.
00:00:32.240 Every American deserves to know that when they cast their vote,
00:00:36.040 that vote will be counted accurately in a system,
00:00:39.680 and that is to make that system secure,
00:00:42.940 one where cheating and interference are not just difficult but virtually impossible.
00:00:50.000 Unfortunately, the system we have today falls catastrophically short of that standard.
00:00:55.680 Tonight, I'm announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence, revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure.
00:01:07.440 This evidence shows that the election system we have dangerously exposes and really exposes like levels never thought possible to hacking, exploitation and foreign interference.
00:01:23.500 Just as disturbingly this vital information has for many years been covered up and hidden from you.
00:01:30.920 The American people are beautiful, are great American people.
00:01:34.280 But that all changes right now. The documents we will release starting tonight have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, a great group of people, along with the staff of the president's intelligence advisory board, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs who have all personally reviewed the findings.
00:01:59.440 we are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity you can see these documents for
00:02:07.640 yourself at whitehouse.gov that's whitehouse.gov go check it out in that address president trump
00:02:15.400 calling out many nations iran russia north korea and china among some of the perpetrators of this
00:02:22.920 fraud in our elections president trump says newly declassified documents that are going to be
00:02:27.220 released shortly on WhiteHouse.gov, show that over a period of years during the 2020 election cycle,
00:02:33.080 the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise
00:02:36.500 election data in the history of this country, acquiring 220 million U.S. voter files.
00:02:44.840 Take a listen.
00:02:45.460 First, they show that over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle,
00:02:51.960 The People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files.
00:03:08.640 That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening.
00:03:25.580 This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare.
00:03:30.200 The intelligence even shows that China has signed a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.
00:03:38.640 But the Democrats will tell you that our elections are secure. Everything's good. There's no issues
00:03:42.900 here. Nothing to see here. It was the most secure election in the history of this country.
00:03:47.940 Not exactly. And the lies and the lies and the perpetration of lies continued. But President
00:03:53.080 Trump declassifying it all to let these people know they've been identified. House Republicans
00:03:58.880 scored another major victory last night after the House Budget Committee advanced the Save and
00:04:03.660 Protect America Act through the budget reconciliation process. The House Budget
00:04:07.720 The committee advanced a framework for a third reconciliation bill.
00:04:11.460 Speaker Mike Johnson announced the committee's approval,
00:04:13.380 calling it a critical milestone in the Republicans' effort to enact the Save America Act
00:04:17.480 despite months of Democrat obstruction and Senate procedural roadblocks.
00:04:22.080 The reconciliation strategy is designed to allow the measure to pass the Senate with a simple majority
00:04:26.200 rather than the traditional 60 votes required to overcome a filibuster,
00:04:30.380 although Senate rules will ultimately determine which provisions qualify.
00:04:34.660 and with the rhinos in the house and the rhinos more in the senate we'll see what they decide to
00:04:42.180 block the next steps after the house budget committee advances a budget resolution containing
00:04:46.740 reconciliation instructions is for the full house of representatives to debate and vote on the
00:04:51.480 resolution which is expected to occur as early as the week of july 20th so early next week and then
