00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, March 5th.
00:00:05.600 Hope everyone's Wednesday is off to a great start.
00:00:08.020 President Trump addressing a joint session of Congress last night.
00:00:11.900 Started out a little bit rough.
00:00:13.840 Marxist Dems, Al Green of Texas couldn't keep his composure.
00:00:18.500 Guy's a total psychopath, total Marxist.
00:00:21.140 Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, actually had to have him removed from the joint session
00:00:26.460 because he just couldn't act like an adult.
00:00:28.480 Come to the think of it, folks, we dealt with Joe Biden for four years.
00:00:32.940 We dealt with Obama for eight years.
00:00:35.480 You didn't see any Republicans acting the way these irrational, immature, and absolutely absurd Democrats act.
00:00:44.980 No respect, no decorum, no tact whatsoever.
00:00:49.620 They should be ashamed of themselves and they should be embarrassed.
00:00:52.520 And the voters should let their voices be heard when they go to the ballots next year to vote in the midterm elections for their members of Congress.
00:01:01.200 President Trump discussing, obviously, a very wide array of topics about his vision moving forward for the country.
00:01:06.620 But what President Trump did mention was our little issue, our little scuffle with Ukraine going on right now and their issue with Russia.
00:01:16.080 President Trump apparently got a letter earlier in the afternoon yesterday from Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine,
00:01:21.640 who just a day earlier said the war with Russia was not going to end for a very long time.
00:01:28.160 But changing his tune very drastically.
00:01:31.120 Take a listen to President Trump.
00:01:33.100 Earlier today, I received an important letter from President Zelensky of Ukraine.
00:01:39.100 The letter reads, Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer.
00:01:46.740 Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians, he said.
00:01:50.900 My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
00:01:58.940 We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence.
00:02:06.800 Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you.
00:02:15.160 I appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it a little while ago.
00:02:21.060 Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with Russia and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace.
00:02:28.520 Wouldn't that be beautiful?
00:02:30.000 Wouldn't that be beautiful?
00:02:30.900 It's time to stop this madness.
00:02:53.560 It's time to halt the killing.
00:02:55.800 It's time to end the senseless war.
00:02:58.280 If you want to end wars, you have to talk to both sides.
00:03:02.640 President Trump, from the very beginning, making it very clear, all he wanted was peace in that region, peace between Russia and Ukraine.
00:03:11.740 And that's what he brokered.
00:03:13.980 And that's what President Zelensky came to America to discuss last Friday, leaving empty handed because he's just a selfish, selfish man trying to squeeze America for every last dollar.
00:03:25.080 President Trump, on his other agenda item list of items, talking about the tax cuts that are going to be before Congress very soon, giving a word of advice to the Marxist Dems who are up for re-election very soon.
00:03:39.680 And the next phase of our plan to deliver the greatest economy in history is for this Congress to pass tax cuts for everybody.
00:03:50.240 They're in there.
00:03:50.960 They're waiting for you to vote.
00:03:52.180 And I'm sure that the people on my right, I don't mean the Republican right, but my right right here, I'm sure you're going to vote for those tax cuts because otherwise I don't believe the people will ever vote you into office.
00:04:06.440 So I'm doing you a big favor by telling you that.
00:04:08.400 But I know this group is going to be voting for the tax cuts.
00:04:17.360 President Trump doing all he could to help out the Marxist Dems.
00:04:20.800 Those folks are beyond repair, beyond help.
00:04:24.360 They can't be helped.
00:04:25.360 Just a true, sick group of folks who couldn't contain themselves.
00:04:30.400 Just a wild group of people holding up ridiculous signs and storming out and speaking and causing a ruckus while President Trump was speaking.
00:04:41.640 As I said, no decorum, no tact, no class whatsoever.
00:04:47.060 The next four years on the horizon look bright.
00:04:51.180 The tariffs going into effect, the reciprocal tariffs going into effect on April 2nd.
00:04:58.180 As President Trump announced, he didn't want to do April 1st because, well, he didn't want it to be an April Fool's joke.
00:05:03.620 So things are going to start moving swiftly, I believe.
00:05:06.820 Mexico and Canada are already blinking, looking to maybe negotiate the tariffs down.
00:05:12.000 But it's very simple.
00:05:13.100 President Trump wants them to shut down their borders.
00:05:15.960 He wants the flow of drugs to stop coming into this country.
00:05:19.260 He's not really asking for much, folks.
00:05:21.960 If these nations, these two nations, can't figure out a way to do it, or China stops sending the fentanyl,
00:05:27.380 then they deserve every single crippling dollar that these tariffs do to them.
00:05:32.400 That's just the way that works.
00:05:33.960 We've lost over 100,000 people just last year to drug overdoses.
00:05:39.880 And it's all thanks to Mexico and China. 0.97
00:05:43.220 It's got to stop, folks.
00:05:44.460 And Donald Trump is going to be the man to do that.
