Hello, everybody. I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show Midday Update, Thursday, July 10th.
00:00:04.900
Happy Thursday, folks. The weekend is almost here. It's a new day and rogue judges are acting up
00:00:11.400
again. That's right. Another black robe tyrant attempting to unsculpt authority from America's
00:00:17.780
duly elected president. This afternoon, U.S. District Court Judge Joseph LaPlante announced
00:00:23.580
that he would issue a preliminary injunction against President Trump's executive order
00:00:28.320
ending birthright citizenship, free legals, and narrow the class covered to children only.
00:00:35.160
LaPlante, who was nominated by George W. Bush, also said he would grant a seven-day stay for the order
00:00:40.080
for court efficiency. Now, this is exactly what the Supreme Court said that these rogue judges can't
00:00:45.500
do anymore. LaPlante made the ruling after the ACLU, a Marxist-left organization, and other illegal
00:00:53.220
alien activists begged him to grant class action status to a lawsuit that they filed seeking to
00:00:58.620
represent any babies whose citizenship status would be threatened by the implementation of
00:01:03.700
President Trump's directive. Now, as I said, the injunction comes just merely days after the Supreme
00:01:10.120
Court restricted the ability of judges to block President Trump's policy using nationwide injunctions.
00:01:16.060
That was the 6-3 decision where the court sided with the Trump administration,
00:01:19.480
ruling that federal district courts lacked constitutional or statutory authority to
00:01:24.700
issue so-called, quote, universal injunctions, sweeping order that blocked the government policies
00:01:29.700
nationwide, often at the request of these left-wing advocacy groups. Under this Supreme Court ruling,
00:01:35.960
President Trump's executive order would take effect on July 27th. The ACLU and others filed the
00:01:41.720
suit just six hours after the Supreme Court ruling. According to President Trump, the 14th amendment is
00:01:47.320
being hijacked by the left to give citizenship to what he calls anchor babies, which are children of
00:01:52.840
illegal migrants. That's right. Pam Bondi, who's been in the crosshairs of a lot of us lately, a lot of
00:01:58.940
Americans, telling the DOJ to tell courts it's, quote, still reviewing Epstein records for potential release while
00:02:06.540
publicly signaling it's game over. So which one is it? While DOJ insiders quietly tell a federal judge that
00:02:13.480
they're still sifting through Jeffrey Epstein's sword records, including potential names of high-profile
00:02:19.320
clients, the very same agency issued a memo declaring no more documents would ever see the light.
00:02:26.360
Judicial Watch, which is one of our favorite conservative watchdog groups, is relentlessly pursuing
00:02:31.340
accountability, revealing this week that a court filing of the DOJ and FBI claim that they're still reviewing
00:02:37.340
records in response to a FOIA lawsuit seeking documents on Epstein's network of elites. Now,
00:02:44.980
former Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz was on a podcast just yesterday saying that the Department
00:02:51.780
of Justice is lying to us and there is a witness list. He knows people's names who are on there. Take a listen.
00:02:58.120
This is not an opinion. This is a fact. I have seen, remember, I was accused falsely and they have seen,
00:03:03.020
and ultimately I was completely cleared. The woman admitted that she may have mistook me for somebody
00:03:08.780
else and withdrew all of her lawsuits. And so from day one, from the day I was accused, I said,
00:03:13.260
I want every document out because I knew every document would prove I was innocent. So let me tell
00:03:18.180
you, I know for a fact documents are being suppressed and they're being suppressed to protect individuals.
00:03:22.940
I know the names of the individuals. I know why they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them,
00:03:28.560
but I'm bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can't disclose what I know. But I
00:03:36.260
hand to God, I know, I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect
00:03:43.800
them. And that's wrong. Just out of curiosity, without names, are these politicians, business leaders,
00:03:50.200
both? They're everything. And let me tell you, a lot of them are, at least one of them is somebody who
00:03:58.360
was accused. Others are accusers. And the judges have said, if somebody calls themselves a victim,
00:04:05.120
a victim, we're not going to give any information about them. But they may not be victims. They may
00:04:10.320
be perpetrators. So we don't have information about false accusers. And we know there have been
00:04:16.000
many false accusers who have accused innocent people for money. And those records are being
00:04:21.620
deliberately, willfully suppressed. And they shouldn't be suppressed. If the accusation is allowed out,
00:04:27.700
so should the material that diminishes the credibility of the accuser. We want total
00:04:33.660
transparency on this. Every single document, no redaction. That's what I've said from day one.
00:04:39.660
I waive any of my rights to privacy. Anything there is about me, I'm happy because it will be
00:04:44.420
exculpatory because I know I haven't touched a woman other than my wife from the day I met Jeffrey
00:04:50.240
Epstein. I don't even hug people. But I was falsely accused and I was able to prove it. And I was able
00:04:55.840
to prove it through documents. And I want other people to be able to disprove false accusations
00:05:00.680
through documents. But these documents are being suppressed and withheld.
00:05:04.800
Now that was Jeffrey Epstein's confident and friend a long time before he came out as a pedophile,
00:05:12.260
Alan Dershowitz, laying out a far different case than what Pam Bondi has told us just the other day
00:05:18.260
in that meeting. So not really sure what the heck is going on with that. The Secret Service has decided
00:05:26.080
to suspend six U.S. Secret Service personnel without pay for up to six weeks and placed into restrictive
00:05:32.620
duty roles with less operational responsibility as a result of the assassination attempt on
00:05:37.860
President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Quote, we are going to fire our way out of this,
00:05:42.940
says Matthew Quinn, Secret Service deputy director in an interview with CVS. He says,
00:05:48.480
we're going to focus on the root of the cause and fix the deficiencies that put us into this
00:05:52.600
situation. Secret Service is totally accountable for Butler. Butler was operational failure and we're
00:05:58.680
focused today on ensuring that it never happens again. This as we come up on just a few days
00:06:04.780
until the anniversary of that horrid day where President Trump was almost assassinated.
00:06:12.000
