Latest episode of The Great America Show: A Mid-Day Update for Thursday, February 13, 2020. Truth, Justice, and the American Way may finally be coming to the Department of Justice, with Attorney General Pam Bondi this week announcing she s bringing some charges against some bad actors. President Trump says he s going to reveal some names of entities and people involved in government fraud and abuse. Tulsi Gabbard is finally sworn in as our next Director of National Intelligence, and a federal judge lifts a temporary ban on President Trump s federal worker buyout program.
00:01:05.380As I said, folks, Truth, Justice, and the American Way, Pam Bondi, Attorney General, saying violent criminals, gang members, drug traffickers, human smugglers will no longer terrorize the American people.
00:01:19.700That's why she was holding that press conference, letting them know they'll be held accountable.
00:01:24.960If you don't follow the federal law, it's over.
00:01:30.320It's nice to see, after four years of an abusive Justice Department, that there's finally some truth and justice under Pam Bondi as the Attorney General.
00:01:40.920President Trump is set to hold a press conference this afternoon.
00:01:43.940He's apparently going to reveal some names of entities and people involved in government fraud and abuse.
00:01:48.980President Trump says there's no chance that there's no kickbacks going on.
00:01:54.880This is all part of, of course, Elon Musk's Doge Committee, where they're trying to uncover as much government fraud as possible.
00:02:03.920President Trump says he's going to reveal those names in front of our Attorney General.
00:02:08.160He says there's no chance there's not kickbacks or something going on.
00:02:11.120He says when you give millions and millions of dollars to somebody that stands to look at something for 15 minutes and walks away with millions of dollars, that money's coming back in some form.
00:02:21.360And that's only one form of corruption that President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge Committee will be investigating over the next few years, if that.
00:02:32.080Tulsi Gabbard, sworn in as the Director of National Intelligence after a much-anticipated wait.
00:02:38.680The Marxist Dems in the Senate holding it up, and some of the RINOs, in fact, as well, holding up the process.
00:02:46.080Tulsi Gabbard finally sworn in as our next DNI.
00:02:52.600The federal judge on Wednesday lifted a pause on President Trump's federal worker buyout program.
00:02:58.200Earlier this month, you may remember, President Trump announced he's offering buyouts to millions of federal workers if they were to resign by February 6th.
00:03:05.320Federal workers who accepted Trump's offer will receive pay and benefits through September 30th.
00:03:12.460In fact, better than most deals you get in the private sector.
00:03:16.000Trump is offering those buyouts to make sure all federal workers are on board with the new administration's plan to have federal employees in the office.
00:03:23.620Only 6% of all federal workers actually work full-time in the office.
00:03:29.660Trump's offer does not include postal workers, military, immigration officials, or people in national security roles.
00:03:36.440Unions sued the Trump administration last week to challenge the buyout program.
00:03:40.260And last week, U.S. District jugs from the District of Massachusetts, George O'Toole, of course a Clinton appointee,
00:03:45.620paused the February 6th deadline for the federal workers to take up Trump's offer to resign.
00:03:50.280As I said yesterday, Judge O'Toole said that Trump can proceed with this buyout program because the unions representing the federal workers were, quote,
00:03:59.100not directly impacted by the directive.
00:04:02.440Making America great again is what President Trump plans on doing, and it's exactly what he's doing.
00:04:09.940And the Trump effect has taken place and taken shape and taken form at the southern border.
00:04:15.080Recent reports from the United States Border Patrol reveal that a new trend among migrants headed to the United States,
00:04:21.600hoping to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, is a little bit different than it was for the last four years.
00:04:27.300Migrants, according to recent reports, have become discouraged by Trump's mass deportation operation
00:04:32.840and are now choosing to turn back, banning their attempt to reach the United States altogether.
00:04:39.160According to Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Michael Banks,
00:04:41.740the agency received verified reports confirming several groups of migrants have encountered by foreign law enforcement agencies
00:04:48.180heading south rather than heading north towards the United States.
00:04:52.980The new trend, according to the authorities in Honduras,
00:04:55.660showed that migrants are now abandoning their attempts to reach the United States.
00:04:59.180According to Banks, nearly 50 migrants headed to the United States have encountered in Honduras
00:05:03.200heading south away from the U.S.-Mexico border.
00:05:06.580Once again, folks, far different than what we've been dealing with over the last four years.
00:05:11.740And it's nice to see that America is back and Donald Trump is making America great again.
