Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, April 24th.
00:00:04.900
President Trump in the Oval Office just moments ago meeting with the Prime Minister of Norway
00:00:09.100
was asked about Ukraine and giving away some territory in order to make a peace deal,
00:00:21.300
Well, it depends what territory. They've been fighting. They've lost a lot of territory.
00:00:25.240
Now, we'll do the best we can. Working with Ukraine, we'll do the best we can.
00:00:31.020
But they've lost a lot of territory. When you say Crimea, that was handed over during a president named Barack Hussein Obama.
00:00:39.240
That had nothing to do with me, Crimea. That was 11 years ago with Obama.
00:00:45.360
And they made a decision. There wasn't a bullet fire. There was no fighting. There was no anything.
00:00:51.080
They just handed it over. Now they say, well, can you get it back?
00:00:54.440
I think that's going to be a very difficult thing to do.
00:00:58.200
That was given by Barack Obama when he was president, not by Donald Trump.
00:01:03.220
Imagine that. President Trump cleaning up a mess from back in 2014 under Barack Hussein Obama.
00:01:09.800
Still cleaning up the mess, of course, from Joe Biden as well.
00:01:12.940
And a federal judge, another Marxist Dem, who means to hurt America, America last,
00:01:18.100
probably a Trump deranged federal judge as well,
00:01:20.740
has barred the Trump administration from denying federal funds to sanctuary cities that limit immigration cooperation.
00:01:28.260
That Marxist Dem judge, Judge William Orrick out of California.
00:01:32.920
He said in a preliminary injunction was appropriate because the executive orders were unconstitutional,
00:01:38.500
just as he says they were in 2017 when Donald Trump announced a similar order.
00:01:43.640
Orrick issued the injunction sought by San Francisco and more than a dozen other municipalities
00:01:49.180
that sued over a pair of executive orders that Donald Trump issued targeting local municipalities
00:01:55.020
that limit cooperation with federal immigration efforts.
00:01:59.220
In other words, the Marxist Dems are once again protecting the illegal aliens.
00:02:04.520
Also, President Trump asking the Supreme Court to intervene after a lower court temporarily blocked his ban on transgender troops.
00:02:12.660
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, stacked with leftist judges, of course,
00:02:16.340
denied President Trump's administration's stay of an injunction on the transgender troop ban last Friday evening.
00:02:23.160
The three judges, Wallace Tamisha, who's a Clinton appointee,
00:02:29.000
and Rupali Desai, a Biden appointee, denied the request for stay.
00:02:34.580
President Trump now asking the Supreme Court to step in and get this thing under control.
00:02:40.280
Another federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to return yet another criminal illegal alien being held in El Salvador.
00:02:48.020
This Maryland judge, clearly a Marxist, Judge Stephanie Gallagher,
00:02:52.880
last night ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a 20-year-old Venezuela man
00:03:00.200
Gallagher claimed in her ruling that the man's removal violated a previous court settlement.
00:03:05.280
The settlement in question is from a case filed in 2019 on behalf of illegal aliens who entered the U.S.
00:03:11.140
as, quote, unaccompanied minors and later sought asylum.
00:03:15.000
President Trump, in his quest for truth, justice in the American way, now taking a look at ActBlue.
00:03:20.260
Is that right? ActBlue is that major left, Marxist left online donation platform.
00:03:24.800
President Trump is planning to sign a memorandum this afternoon that he says will cast as a crackdown
00:03:30.600
on foreign contributions in American elections, according to a person familiar with the policy.
00:03:35.800
Attorney General Pam Bondi's office is expected to be involved in the effort,
00:03:39.840
though further details about the mechanisms she will use are not immediately available.
00:03:44.560
This presidential memorandum is expected to specifically target ActBlue.
00:03:48.840
Republicans have long claimed the platform could be exploited by foreign actors,
00:03:53.100
while Democrats have warned the action is an example of Trump's baseless targeting of political opponents.
00:04:01.620
You may recall James O'Keefe of O'Keefe Media Group did an investigation into ActBlue
00:04:06.880
because people were making donations they didn't even know existed.
00:04:13.440
Marxist Dems always accusing the Republicans of what they are guilty of.
00:04:21.560
Clooney this week acknowledging that the Democrats have a problem relating to the common man
00:04:25.980
and advised that they get a sense of humor in hopes of beating Donald J. Trump.
00:04:31.120
You may recall Clooney is the one who kicked Biden to the curb
00:04:38.840
I'm not really sure Clooney knows what the heck he is doing.
00:04:41.860
