00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with This Great America Show, midday update for Thursday, January 22nd.
00:00:05.820 Happy Thursday, folks. I hope you all had a great day and you guys are staying warm.
00:00:10.080 And if you're on the East Coast or Midwest, for that matter, are preparing for this snowstorm that's set to pass through.
00:00:18.100 Looking like it's going to be a rough one, but we're praying for the best.
00:00:21.740 Over on Capitol Hill today, former special counsel and junkyard jackal Jack Smith sat for testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
00:00:28.660 Now, Jack Smith's got some questions to answer, and he was there to talk about the alleged efforts to interfere with President Trump's 2024 election.
00:00:40.120 In 2023, Jack Smith, of course, indicted President Trump.
00:00:43.420 37 federal counts on Miami for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate, which was protected by Secret Service agents.
00:00:51.480 And then in a separate Washington, D.C. case, Jack Smith indicted President Trump.
00:00:54.800 Now, four counts, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
00:01:05.640 Smith showed up, and boy, was he lambasted.
00:01:09.040 And boy, he didn't know what to do.
00:01:11.680 He looked like a lost puppy.
00:01:14.040 One of the members who absolutely lambasted him was Congressman Troy Nels.
00:01:18.080 He was going to be departing Congress shortly, but had some words for him in his statement.
00:01:24.340 Take a listen.
00:01:25.480 Mr. Smith, I'll just cut right to the chase here.
00:01:28.780 Your investigation and attempted prosecution of President Trump, it wasn't about justice.
00:01:34.540 It was about politics.
00:01:36.360 Politics.
00:01:36.780 From day one, under the Biden-Harris DOJ, you weaponized the law to go after their top political opponent.
00:01:44.880 You pushed flawed legal theories, and even the far left, Washington Post, called you out.
00:01:50.820 They called you out, sir, for violating the First Amendment.
00:01:54.560 You tried to criminalize political speech, slap unlawful gag orders on a presidential candidate,
00:02:00.520 and spy on Republican members of Congress in violation of the Speechful Debate Clause,
00:02:06.180 including the sitting Speaker of the House.
00:02:10.460 Mr. Smith, you mishandled documents, pressured defense lawyers,
00:02:15.240 and dumped a massive trove of so-called evidence right before the election,
00:02:20.820 and you did it.
00:02:21.660 You did it to sway voters.
00:02:23.600 That's why you did it.
00:02:25.480 And don't get me started on that right at Mar-Lago,
00:02:27.780 or your unconstitutional appointment,
00:02:30.560 which a federal judge in Florida rightly tossed out,
00:02:33.880 a very bad day for you.
00:02:36.100 This wasn't, Mr. Smith, about upholding the law.
00:02:39.440 It was about tearing down President Trump and anyone, anyone close to him.
00:02:44.520 You even tried to ram through a politically motivated final report
00:02:48.560 after your cases collapsed,
00:02:51.660 including the Presidential Transition Act and basic fairness.
00:02:55.020 But here's the good part, America.
00:02:58.120 Here's the good part.
00:03:00.200 The American people saw right through it.
00:03:03.440 They rejected, sir, your witch hunt loud and clear in November,
00:03:09.080 handing President Trump a commanding victory.
00:03:12.060 The voters spoke loud and clear.
00:03:13.860 They wanted an end to the weaponization of our justice system.
00:03:17.180 In your opening statement,
00:03:19.960 you spoke about proof of beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:03:23.920 Mr. Smith, I will give you proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:03:28.440 Donald Trump winning the popular vote by over 2 million votes.
00:03:33.960 The Electoral College by 85 votes,
00:03:38.500 along with every single swing state.
00:03:42.380 Now, sir, that is proof beyond a reasonable doubt 1.00
00:03:46.260 that the crap you were shoveling 0.99
00:03:48.360 did not pass the smell test with the American people. 1.00
00:03:52.480 To put it bluntly, Mr. Smith,
00:03:54.880 the stink remains on you. 0.85
00:03:57.400 Troy Nails, as you can tell there,
00:03:59.060 one of the good guys.
00:04:00.660 President Trump tweeting out shortly after Jack Smith testified,
00:04:05.620 quote,
00:04:05.840 Smith didn't really have any answers to the questions that he was asked,
00:04:25.560 stuttered numerous times,
00:04:27.180 as most Marxist stems do,
00:04:29.840 when they're asked difficult questions,
00:04:31.860 and like I said,
00:04:33.180 couldn't answer really anything.
00:04:35.840 Speaking of rogue judges,
00:04:37.740 a federal judge this afternoon,
00:04:39.500 magistrate judge in the Confederate state of Minnesota,
00:04:43.440 refusing to sign a criminal complaint
00:04:45.120 against far-left Marxist activists,
00:04:48.160 and former CNN host who was fired,
00:04:50.820 Don LeMond.
00:04:52.680 Now, LeMond, as you know,
00:04:55.420 he was posing as a journalist over the weekend,
00:04:57.940 him and his Marxist leftists, 1.00
00:05:00.440 the anti-ice, pro-murderer, rapist, 1.00
00:05:03.060 wife-beater activists, 0.98
00:05:04.100 rioting inside of a Christian church in St. Paul, Minnesota,
00:05:07.700 during a worship service.
00:05:09.760 Services were deliberately disrupted,
00:05:11.700 and the attendees heckled and intimidated.
00:05:14.500 Early reports said that,
00:05:15.900 along with LeMond,
00:05:16.720 seven people involved in the church riots
00:05:18.560 were facing DOJ charges.
00:05:20.820 Now,
00:05:21.720 the magistrate judge doesn't want to charge him.
00:05:24.300 That's how it goes.
00:05:25.300 The Marxists own the courts,
00:05:27.860 own the judges,
00:05:29.080 and own just about everything.
00:05:31.300 Absolute joke.
