Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, June 5th.
00:00:06.400
Well, Joe Biden is breaking his silence about that auto-Pen scandal.
00:00:11.000
President Trump in recent weeks directed his White House counsel, David Warrington,
00:00:14.440
in consultation with Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate, quote,
00:00:18.240
whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden's mental health
00:00:23.200
and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the president.
00:00:35.100
Biden releasing a statement late last night saying that investigation by President Trump
00:00:39.360
was a major distraction in that he's made all of his own decisions.
00:00:43.240
Quote, I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations.
00:00:49.340
And he's suggesting that I didn't is ridiculous and false.
00:00:52.580
He continued, this is nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump
00:00:55.840
and congressional Republicans who are working to push disastrous legislation
00:01:00.100
that would cut essential programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families,
00:01:05.300
all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.
00:01:11.160
Now, we're not entirely sure that Joe Biden even wrote that statement on his own,
00:01:17.740
James Comer, House Oversight Chairman, will be joining us tonight at 6 p.m. Eastern
00:01:23.600
I sat down with him yesterday afternoon in his Washington, D.C. office
00:01:27.360
to talk about all of this and where the investigation is going.
00:01:31.800
And deep state villain John Brennan suddenly worried about the politicization
00:01:42.200
John Brennan, of course, is a Russia-gay conspirator and a laptop hoaxer.
00:01:47.420
And he's worried that the CIA and the FBI won't be apolitical under President Trump
00:01:52.580
and will no longer attract, quote, principled individuals.
00:02:01.460
These agencies, whether it be the FBI or CIA or others,
00:02:05.580
they attract individuals who really want to do right by their fellow citizens
00:02:09.280
and to tackle those tough issues, whether it be terrorism
00:02:12.440
or whether it be, you know, foreign espionage activities here in the States.
00:02:17.100
They're principled individuals who really believe in the integrity that is necessary
00:02:22.200
in order to conduct these investigations, again, in an apolitical, nonpartisan way.
00:02:27.420
But if this new regime now is putting in place sort of this test of loyalty
00:02:32.760
to the Trump administration, again, that is just so similar to the,
00:02:38.300
the totalitarian regimes that I saw overseas for so many years
00:02:43.460
in terms of making sure that the security services are doing the bidding
00:02:47.180
of the political leaders are not really carrying out their obligations
00:02:51.500
and responsibilities to the citizenry, to the country, to their constitutions.
00:02:56.640
And that's why I think the FBI, I think, is going to have a tough time
00:02:59.700
attracting individuals that have that type of principled approach to government service.
00:03:04.660
I've always thought that man was a total fool, but now it's apparent he's just a total buffoon as well.
00:03:10.820
President Trump last night signing a proclamation barring travelers
00:03:14.000
and immigrants from a dozen countries and restricting the entry of nationals
00:03:18.100
from another seven nations, citing concerns about national security.
00:03:21.660
President Trump's proclamation fully bans the entry of foreigners from Afghanistan,
00:03:27.320
Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Entrya, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
00:03:36.980
With certain exemptions, President Trump's order bans the citizens of those countries
00:03:40.000
seeking to come to the United States permanently as legal immigrants
00:03:43.260
as well as temporary visa holders like tourists.
00:03:47.000
President Trump continuing to make America safe again.
00:03:50.500
And crazed Judge Bozberg, that lunatic out of D.C.,
00:03:55.280
has ruled nearly 140 Venezuelan gang members that were sent to El Salvador were deported illegally.
00:04:03.880
Does Judge Bozberg want to bring them back to America, perhaps?
00:04:07.660
Well, Bozberg gave the administration, the Trump administration, that is,
00:04:10.340
a week to propose a plan for how the men believed to currently be
00:04:14.260
in the notorious anti-terrorism prison in El Salvador
00:04:16.880
can pursue cases in the U.S. courts challenging their deportations.
00:04:21.580
That's just a nice way of saying we want to bring illegals, criminals,
00:04:26.360
not just regular illegals, criminal illegals who are rapists, murderers, and killers back to America.
00:04:33.760
That's Judge Bozberg, Democrat, Marxist-Democrat, saying bring those people back into our country.
00:04:43.960
Please be sure to join us tonight at 6 p.m. Eastern for The Great America Show.
00:04:47.540
As I said, our guest will be House Oversight Chairman James Comer.
00:04:50.820
I sit down with him for a long, lengthy discussion on the Biden administration,
00:04:55.560
on the Trump administration, on Congress right now, on everything they're doing.
00:04:58.860
And his committee is working on that tonight, 6 p.m. Eastern,
00:05:02.320
wherever you guys get your podcasts, YouTube, Twitter, Rumble, Facebook.
