00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Tuesday, April 29th.
00:00:05.060 Happy Tuesday, folks. President Trump's 100-day mark.
00:00:09.220 President Trump holding a rally later this evening, 6 p.m. Eastern Time,
00:00:13.300 in the great state of Michigan, where he'll outline what he's got done in his first 100 days in office.
00:00:19.260 Take a listen to Speaker Mike Johnson earlier today,
00:00:22.480 laying out what he thinks of President Trump's first 100 days.
00:00:26.460 He is the most consequential American leader of the 21st century, and that's an understatement.
00:00:33.220 President Trump has, here's a list, removed men from women's sports,
00:00:36.260 ended DEI in the federal government and the U.S. military,
00:00:39.120 expanded oil and gas extraction to lower prices,
00:00:42.020 taken steps to end unfair trade practices,
00:00:44.640 secured trillions of dollars in new investments in American manufacturing,
00:00:48.600 deported criminal illegal aliens, stood up for religious liberty,
00:00:51.980 and rooted out anti-Christian bias,
00:00:54.040 combated virulent anti-Semitism on college campuses.
00:00:58.260 The list goes on and on and on.
00:00:59.380 That's just barely scratching the surface.
00:01:00.920 That's in 100 days.
00:01:02.580 We're just getting started.
00:01:04.100 Turns out Mike Johnson and I agree on more than I could have ever imagined.
00:01:07.960 Over on the Senate side, in a stunning rebuke to President Trump's bold new tariff plan,
00:01:13.140 aimed at rebalancing Americans' broken trade system
00:01:15.980 and protecting U.S. manufacturing,
00:01:18.140 Senator Rand Paul has announced he has the votes in the Senate
00:01:21.540 to pass a resolution that would effectively kill the America First tariff plan.
00:01:26.860 Now, Senator Paul's surprising alliance with some of the Senate's most radical Democrats
00:01:30.620 is raising red flags among conservatives
00:01:32.980 who view it as another betrayal of President Trump's America First agenda.
00:01:37.140 Earlier this month, Paul joined the ranks of Marxist-Stems,
00:01:41.420 Senate Finance Committee Chair Ranking Member Ron Wyden,
00:01:44.400 Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer,
00:01:46.420 Elizabeth Warren, and Tim Kaine
00:01:48.100 to release a privileged resolution
00:01:50.120 that would terminate the emergency declaration used by President Trump
00:01:54.060 to impose tariffs on up to 49% of goods.
00:01:57.480 The so-called bipartisan coalition claims they are fighting for constitutional principles
00:02:03.500 and consumer prices.
00:02:06.220 But their actions will only embolden globalist trade regimes,
00:02:09.300 gut American manufacturing,
00:02:10.720 and undermine President Trump's ability to defend U.S. interests on the world stage.
00:02:15.840 Senator Rand Paul, I understand, believes one way about tariffs,
00:02:20.280 but for him to be joining ranks with the Marxist-Stems,
00:02:23.420 it tells you all you need to know about Senator Rand Paul.
00:02:26.340 This week, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the tools
00:02:30.040 to address known exploitation by immobilizing
00:02:33.220 technical deepfakes on the Web and Networks Act,
00:02:36.640 known as the Take It Down Act,
00:02:38.200 by a vote of 409 to 2.
00:02:41.000 The bill was introduced by Senator Ted Cruz of Texas
00:02:43.300 in the Senate and brought in by the House by Representative Maria Salazar.
00:02:47.720 First Lady Melania Trump, who doesn't weigh in on public policy very often,
00:02:52.180 is a vocal supporter of the bill.
00:02:53.880 In March, she hosted a roundtable on deepfakes and revenge porn
00:02:57.520 to advocate for the passage of the Take It Down Act.
00:03:01.320 There was only two people who voted against it.
00:03:03.700 Two Republicans, Rep. Thomas Massey of Kentucky and Eric Burleson of Missouri,
00:03:08.600 both voting against the bill.
00:03:10.020 Doesn't really make much sense.
00:03:11.620 The bill cracks down on posting of explicit images,
00:03:14.340 including deepfake nudes,
00:03:16.160 generated of people by artificial intelligence without consent.
00:03:19.380 As I said, two Republicans, the only two people voting against the bill,
00:03:24.280 Congressman Thomas Massey and Congressman Eric Burleson of Missouri,
00:03:28.240 doesn't make much sense, if you ask me.
00:03:31.700 And if you folks aren't doing anything tomorrow,
00:03:33.940 not busy, have some free time,
00:03:36.660 failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is doing a speaking engagement.
00:03:40.380 That's right.
00:03:42.140 Vice President Kamala Harris,
00:03:43.820 former frontrunner for President of the United States,
00:03:46.120 is being widely mocked on social media
00:03:48.000 for an upcoming speech hosted by Emerge America,
00:03:51.920 a Marxist Dem organization that trains women to hold public office.
00:03:56.840 Those who wish to watch the event,
00:03:58.620 which will take place on Wednesday in San Francisco,
00:04:01.120 will have to pay, you ready for this folks,
00:04:02.900 $25 for a digital ticket per virtual live stream,
00:04:07.340 and up to $50,000 for sponsorships to attend in person.
00:04:12.060 I wouldn't pay 25 cents to go see Kamala Harris,
00:04:15.280 and something tells me most of you folks out there
00:04:17.820 wouldn't put your hard-earned money,
00:04:19.980 even if it is 25 cents, towards a Kamala Harris event.
00:04:23.880 On the flip side, as I said,
00:04:25.360 President Trump will be in Michigan tonight.
00:04:27.620 You can go catch that for free if you're in the area,
00:04:30.060 or you can tune in to Lou Dobbs Media on Rumble or YouTube.

00:04:38.760 A new survey shows that 40% of Tesla owners
00:04:41.300 report vandalism and skyrocketing insurance costs.
00:04:45.640 Kelly Blue Book reports that the new study
00:04:47.340 conducted by Guardian Service,
00:04:48.820 a company specializing in helping consumers
00:04:51.320 find insurance plans,
00:04:52.880 has found that a significant portion of Tesla owners
00:04:55.200 are facing vandalism and targeting hostility.
00:04:58.140 The survey, which polled 500 Tesla owners,
00:05:01.560 aimed to shed light on how these incidences,
00:05:03.740 coupled with rising insurance costs,
00:05:05.920 are reshaping the EV ownership experience in America,
00:05:09.600 all thanks to the Marxist Dems.
00:05:12.640 U.S. private sector employers kept their demand for work
00:05:15.760 up in late March,
00:05:17.300 while layoffs fell broadly and worker confidence straightened,
00:05:20.860 underscoring the labor market's resilience
00:05:22.940 heading into the spring,
00:05:24.360 according to Labor Department data
00:05:25.820 released earlier this morning.
00:05:27.260 A strong Trump economy, folks,
