00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fosser with this Great America Show midday update for Tuesday, July 8th.
00:00:04.340 Happy Tuesday, folks.
00:00:06.140 Have you all taken your summer trip yet? Are you planning to take a summer trip?
00:00:09.840 Maybe head to an airport?
00:00:11.800 Well, everyone's favorite thing when you get to the airport may soon be coming to an end.
00:00:17.240 Nearly 20 years after airline passengers were first required to remove their shoes for security,
00:00:23.020 the policy is being phased out.
00:00:25.140 That's right, the Transportation Security Administration, what we know as the TSA,
00:00:29.500 is planning to allow passengers to keep their shoes on when they go through general security lines
00:00:33.960 at many major airports across the country.
00:00:37.400 An unexpected memo went out to the TSA officers across the country last week,
00:00:41.460 stating that the new policy will allow passengers to keep their shoes on
00:00:44.380 in all screening lanes at many airports across this country starting this past Sunday.
00:00:50.340 The goal is to roll out the new policy at all U.S. airports shortly, according to the memo.
00:00:54.300 Previously, only passengers in the TSA pre-check line were able to keep their shoes on in most cases.
00:01:00.820 The transportation agency has spent years looking at an innovative way
00:01:03.820 to allow passengers to move faster through security checkpoints.
00:01:08.000 Passengers who trigger the alarm at the scanners or the magnometers,
00:01:11.280 however, will be required to take their shoes off for additional screening.
00:01:14.940 This is a major shift now since the TSA began requiring all passengers remove their shoes in 2006.
00:01:21.500 I must say, cutting down lines at an airport, I am all for it.
00:01:27.240 If any of you have been to an airport lately, I happen to be stuck in them more often than I should be.
00:01:33.700 The lines are only getting longer and longer and longer.
00:01:37.740 President Trump, hosting a cabinet meeting this afternoon,
00:01:41.140 was asked about a report that he's apparently looking at giving amnesty to some illegals.
00:01:47.900 President Trump says that's not the case.
00:01:50.240 Take a listen.
00:01:50.800 There's no amnesty.
00:01:52.140 What we're doing is we're getting rid of criminals, but we are doing a work program.
00:01:56.920 Do you want to explain that, please?
00:01:58.180 Yeah, this morning we talked about, of course, this was a top-of-mind question.
00:02:01.960 This morning we talked about protecting the farmers in the farmland,
00:02:04.720 but obviously this president's vision of no amnesty, mass deportation continues,
00:02:10.000 but in a strategic way in ensuring that our farmers have the labor that they need.
00:02:15.760 Secretary Chavez-Durimer has been a leader on this.
00:02:18.180 Obviously, this comes out of the labor department, but moving toward automation,
00:02:22.060 ensuring that our farmers have that workforce, and moving toward an American workforce.
00:02:26.520 So all of the above.
00:02:27.400 We've got to give the farmers the people they need, but we're not talking amnesty.
00:02:32.040 That's right, end of story, case closed, no amnesty for illegals. 0.99
00:02:36.120 You came here illegally, you're going to be deported, most likely. 0.99
00:02:40.380 That's just the way it goes.
00:02:42.180 Speaker Mike Johnson, after passing the Big Beautiful Bill, I should say it was President
00:02:46.420 Trump, who passed the Big Beautiful Bill, revealing that a new federal law that he's putting forward
00:02:51.900 officially codifies 28 executive orders that were signed by President Trump.
00:02:56.980 It appears that maybe signing and passing the Big Beautiful Bill has given Mike Johnson a little
00:03:02.020 kick in the rear end to start getting to work on passing President Trump's full agenda,
00:03:08.440 codifying his executive orders.
00:03:09.860 Makes it a lot harder for any Marxist dem that's going to be president one day to overturn what
00:03:14.620 President Trump has done so far.
00:03:16.640 The legislation that Johnson is putting forward, it shines a robust American First agenda,
00:03:21.660 ranging from national security to economic revival, making it nearly impossible, like I
00:03:26.200 said, for future administrations to undo without going through Congress.
00:03:30.500 Now, among some of the bigger codified executive orders, we'll be securing the border, declaring
00:03:36.920 a national emergency at the southern border, protecting the American people against an invasion
00:03:41.720 at the southern border, ending taxpayer subsidies for open borders, restricting the entry of
00:03:47.380 foreign nationals protecting the United States from foreign terrorists and other national security
00:03:52.040 and public safety threats, implementing President Trump's Doge cost efficiency initiative, a big
00:03:58.740 one that Elon Musk is no longer part of, protecting America's bank accounts against fraud, waste,
00:04:04.180 and abuse, continuing the reduction of the federal bureaucracy that we see, and the list goes on
00:04:10.760 and on and on.
00:04:12.260 This is all part of President Trump's plan to keep America great again, to make America great
00:04:18.000 again, and to ensure that no Marxist dem comes in and decides that they're going to undo everything
00:04:24.400 that President Trump has done, because that's exactly what the plan is going to be as soon as
00:04:31.020 President Trump is no longer in office, and we eventually do get a Marxist dem back in
00:04:35.700 office.
00:04:36.120 So, good on Mike Johnson for finally taking him a little bit of time, but finally getting
00:04:41.460 to work.
00:04:42.500 This is the moment we've all been waiting for, Speaker Johnson, so make us all proud.
00:04:46.680 Folks, please be sure to join us tonight and each and every night, 6 p.m. Eastern time for
00:04:51.360 The Great America Show.
00:04:52.400 Tonight, we're going to be joined by former senior NSA intel analyst, Russ Tice.
00:04:56.540 We're going to take up what Pam Bondi knows, what she's not telling us.
00:05:01.620 Is there a coup inside the deep state tentacles to overthrow Tulsi Gabbard somehow?
00:05:08.240 We're going to take all that up and so much more in tonight's episode.
00:05:11.100 Please be sure to join us for that tonight, 6 p.m. Eastern time, only on The Great America
00:05:14.780 Show.
