00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, February 26th.
00:00:05.400 Happy Wednesday, everybody. I hope your days are off to a great start and we're almost at the weekend.
00:00:10.540 President Trump signing a slew of executive orders this week, particularly yesterday.
00:00:14.320 We're expecting more today around 3 p.m.
00:00:17.440 Some of his executive orders yesterday, just totally brilliant.
00:00:20.980 One of them, President Trump stripping the security clearances for employees at a high-powered D.C. law firm
00:00:26.420 that gave Jack Smith $140,000 in pro bono legal services.
00:00:30.920 Imagine that, folks. Private law firm having security clearances.
00:00:36.060 The clearances were for folks at Covington and Burlington.
00:00:39.140 It's a top D.C. law firm who gave Jack Smith that pro bono, you know, free legal advice to go after President Trump.
00:00:48.060 But we don't really know. The reason for the legal services was not immediately clear.
00:00:51.580 It was previously reported that Jack Smith's prosecutors sought legal counsel from this high-powered D.C. law firm
00:00:57.800 as Trump's new DOJ was set to take over.
00:01:00.720 So I'd love to know, maybe in some FOIAs or something like that, you know, what they were looking for.
00:01:08.140 What were they scared about? What were they looking to do?
00:01:11.220 One former senior White House official said aides inside the White House and across various federal agencies
00:01:16.220 were intensely worried about the possibility that the incoming Trump administration would prosecute anyone deemed
00:01:22.180 as having to antagonize the president-elect.
00:01:25.020 Additionally, several provident white-collar lawyers across Washington
00:01:28.240 have fielded calls in recent weeks from government officials, including investigators from top officials at Smith's office,
00:01:35.920 who were concerned they could be targeted by the incoming Trump administration.
00:01:40.060 What can they be so worried about? They were just doing their jobs, weren't they?
00:01:45.000 That's what they told us, right? They were, you know, just doing their job and there was nothing to worry about.
00:01:51.700 But it's not exactly the case. We were lied to, I think.
00:01:55.280 And the truth is eventually going to come out and we're going to find out just who the bad actors were and what they were up to.
00:02:01.440 And the House of Representatives yesterday, last night, late last night, passed the Trump-backed budget proposal 217 to 215.
00:02:10.140 Thomas Massey voting no on it.
00:02:12.800 President Trump calling it a big, beautiful bill.
00:02:15.840 Four and a half trillion dollars in tax breaks.
00:02:18.980 Two trillion dollars in spending cuts.
00:02:22.640 House Speaker Mike Johnson had almost no votes to spare in his backbones as the GOP majority.
00:02:28.180 He was in fighting on all fronts, Democrats, uneasy, rank-and-file Republicans and skeptical GOP senators to advance the party's signature legislative package.
00:02:37.760 Trump was making calls to try to bring some folks on board.
00:02:42.580 And President Trump, in true Trump fashion, was able to get this bill through.
00:02:49.020 And we now have a budget.
00:02:49.920 The big three issues in that bill, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security.
00:02:59.440 Three of President Trump's major campaign promises.
00:03:03.660 Could it be why he was polling so well and doing so well with the younger demographic?
00:03:08.760 A lot of those who work jobs at heavy overtime and heavy tips.
00:03:12.960 And Secretary of DHS, Kristi Noem, says she had found the leakers.
00:03:17.480 You know, the leakers that were leaking when ICE was set to do raids on these deadly criminals who were destroying our society.
00:03:25.580 She announced that she found the leakers during a recent press conference, revealing that she has identified several of them with inside of her administration.
00:03:34.200 These individuals have been leaking confidential information to the media, putting law enforcement officers at risk.
00:03:39.260 Noem stated that these leakers are a serious threat to national security.
00:03:43.700 Noem ensures us that she's going to take strong action against these leakers, these criminals who are trying to undermine the work of the Trump administration,
00:03:52.560 trying to undermine the work of these hardworking DHS officials and ICE officials who go into these jobs every single day with a target on their back and a target on their head.
00:04:03.240 And President Trump asked, when are the Super Bowl winning Philadelphia Eagles going to be invited to the White House?
00:04:10.720 Now, there was some speculation because they declined the visit last time.
00:04:13.600 So I think President Trump was trying to figure out if they're going to come or if they're not going to come.
00:04:17.860 If they're not going to come and he knows that he's not going to invite them.
00:04:20.760 So President Trump announcing yesterday that in the coming days they will get their invite.
00:04:26.480 We're hearing that the Eagles are going to go ahead and accept that invitation this time around and not snub the president as they did the first time around.
00:04:35.980 And Florida Congressman Byron Donalds, a great American, a great, great American, has announced he will be seeking higher office, that higher office to governor of Florida.
00:04:45.580 Ron DeSantis will be terminated out.
00:04:47.740 It's been floated that Ron's wife, Casey DeSantis, the first lady, would like to run for the post.
00:04:54.060 President Trump already endorsing Byron Donalds, even before his public announcement that he'd be seeking the office.
00:05:02.460 So Byron Donalds is President Trump's man.
00:05:04.600 It means he's our man as he seeks that higher office.
