00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, March 26th.
00:00:04.840 Happy Thursday, folks.
00:00:06.640 President Trump in a cabinet meeting revealing, after he'd said a few days ago, if you guys called it,
00:00:11.740 that Iran had reportedly given a gift to America.
00:00:14.900 Nobody seemed to figure it out.
00:00:16.680 President Trump revealing just what that gift was.
00:00:19.560 Take a listen. You're never going to guess.
00:00:21.880 We have very substantial talks going on with respect to Iran, with the right people.
00:00:30.000 You know, I told you about a present, right?
00:00:32.800 Steve, can I reveal the present?
00:00:37.840 They said to show you the fact that we're real and solid and we're there.
00:00:48.160 We're going to let you have eight boats of oil, eight boats, eight big boats of oil.
00:00:53.420 This was two days ago.
00:00:54.980 And they'll sail up tomorrow.
00:00:56.680 That was three days ago.
00:00:57.840 and i didn't think much about it and then i watched the news and they said a very good anchor
00:01:06.920 actually happy to be fox but i watched it and he said uh something's unusual happening there are
00:01:15.680 eight boats that are going right up the middle of the homo strait eight big tankers are going 0.98
00:01:24.460 loaded up with oil right through and i said well i guess i guess they were right and they were
00:01:30.200 they were real and i think they were pakistani flagged and uh i said well i guess we're dealing
00:01:37.580 with the right people and actually they then apologized for something they said and they said
00:01:43.180 we're going to send two more boats and it ended up being 10 boats all right i hope i haven't
00:01:48.420 screwed up your negotiations but i thought it was appropriate to say because i did taunt you
00:01:53.400 the other day by saying they're going to give us a present.
00:01:56.620 And there you have it, 10 big fresh barrels of ships filled with oil.
00:02:02.340 That was the present from Iran.
00:02:04.440 U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications
00:02:07.620 discussing a plot to root hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars
00:02:11.920 earmarked for clean energy in a war-torn country
00:02:16.200 and then moved them to the United States
00:02:18.200 to enrich then-President Joe Biden's 2024 re-election campaign
00:02:22.640 and the DNC, according to newly declassified intelligence summaries, intercepted that it was obtained by Just the News.
00:02:30.700 Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of the intercepts
00:02:34.560 and asked the U.S. Agency for International Development, also known as USAID,
00:02:39.980 and their officials to scour for records to see if the plots actually were carried out
00:02:44.820 and whether a criminal referral should be made to the FBI.
00:02:48.680 Gabbard's team have not found substantive evidence that the intercept allegations were thoroughly investigated,
00:02:53.940 during the Biden administration, of course,
00:02:56.280 and communications are not believed to be tied to Russian disinformation efforts, according to Gabbard's office.
00:03:02.220 Senate Democrats today once again blocking a common-sense amendment
00:03:06.080 that would have required voters to show simple photo ID to cast a ballot,
00:03:10.820 despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's recent pinky promise
00:03:14.460 that Democrats aren't actually opposed to ID requirements,
00:03:18.780 his party voted to block in lockstep to kill the measure.
00:03:23.180 About a dozen Senate Democrats voting with the measure of this amendment
00:03:27.280 failed to reach the 60-vote threshold, dying in a 53-47 vote.
00:03:32.040 The radical left once again chose to keep the door wide open
00:03:34.760 for potential fraud, as they usually do.
00:03:39.140 The amendment was introduced by John Husted,
00:03:41.200 who would have required voters to present a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's
00:03:46.540 license, passport, military ID, or tribal ID, when casting a ballot. These are the same forms
00:03:53.040 of identification Americans routinely use in everyday lives, whether you go buy a pack of
00:03:57.960 cigarettes or you go to the casino or you go buy a pack of beer. Very, very common, but not so
00:04:04.840 common for the Democrats, especially when it comes time to voting. And President Trump this
00:04:09.340 afternoon announcing another pause on his strikes on Iranians energy plants by another 10 days on
00:04:16.580 Saturday President Trump threatened to obliterate Iran's power plants if they didn't fully open the
00:04:21.420 Strait of Hormuz President Trump extended that deadline earlier this week to Friday citing ongoing
00:04:27.180 negotiations with Iran earlier this afternoon a reporter asked President Trump about Friday's
00:04:32.440 deadline and President Trump says he didn't know but we'll have to let you know President Trump now
00:04:38.540 extending that deadline another 10 days because he believes that iran is actually negotiating good
00:04:45.180 good faith so they got 10 days until monday april 6th at 8 p.m eastern time is the new deadline
00:04:51.440 president trump has set for the iranian regime to get their act together please be sure to join
