00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, November 19th.
00:00:04.800 Happy Wednesday, folks. We're halfway through another week.
00:00:07.620 We almost made it to the weekend. Hang in there. The weekend is almost here.
00:00:11.940 We've made it through a half a week. We'll finish it out and get to the weekend very, very shortly.
00:00:16.540 Let's get to some news of the day. Why don't we?
00:00:18.880 President Trump with the Saudi Arabian delegation earlier today renewing his calls for Jerome Powell to once again lower the interest rates.
00:00:28.700 He says mortgage rates are down despite Powell and his playing and messing around with the numbers.
00:00:35.220 President Trump called on Scott Besson to work on this guy.
00:00:38.920 And President Trump wants him fired before his term is up. Take a listen.
00:00:43.140 The mortgage rates are down despite the Fed. I mean, Scott, you got to work on this guy.
00:00:48.760 He's got some real mental problems. No, he's something wrong with him. 0.90
00:00:52.940 But it's just sweet. I'll be honest. I'd love to fire his ass. He should be fine.
00:00:59.900 Guy's grossly incompetent. And he should be sued for spending four billion dollars to build a little building.
00:01:08.480 I'm building a ballroom that's going to cost a tiny fraction of that.
00:01:13.080 And it's bigger than the whole thing put together.
00:01:15.620 You got to work on him, Scott. The only thing Scott's blowing it on is the Fed.
00:01:23.760 Because the Fed, the rates are too high, Scott. 1.00
00:01:27.940 And if you don't get it fixed fast, I'm going to fire your ass, OK? 0.99
00:01:33.800 I can't tell you, Scott, sir, don't fire him. 0.99
00:01:37.860 Sir, please don't fire him. He's got three months to go. Don't fire him.
00:01:43.780 I want to get him out, Scott. Please. He's the voice of reason.
00:01:47.900 You're very lucky you have him. I'll tell you that.
00:01:50.640 There's one thing about President Trump. He's never too subtle about anything.
00:01:54.920 He gets right to the point. And that's, I think, what most people love about him.
00:01:59.380 Or if you're a Trump deranged Marxist leftist, that's probably what you hate about him.
00:02:04.920 His willingness to tell you how it is. 0.69
00:02:08.820 A top deputy to former junkyard jackal special counsel, Jack Smith,
00:02:12.620 was criminally referred to the Justice Department for obstruction of Congress this afternoon.
00:02:17.840 Jack Smith, of course, appointed special counsel in 2022 by Joe Biden's attorney general, Merrick Garland,
00:02:23.460 to investigate Trump just one day after Trump announced his 2024 bid for the White House.
00:02:28.680 House Chairman Jim Jordan referred Thomas Windham,
00:02:31.680 former senior assistant special counsel to Jack Smith, the DOJ,
00:02:36.460 for refusing to answer every question during a deposition before the House Judiciary Committee members.
00:02:42.160 Wisdom is accused of intentionally obstructing the committee's fact-finding mission.
00:02:47.620 Say it ain't so, folks.
00:02:49.860 A Marxist Dem obstructing an investigation?
00:02:53.120 Earlier this year, it was reported that the Office of Special Counsel lost an investigation into Jack Smith
00:02:58.340 for possible violations of the Hatch Act and illegal political activity.
00:03:03.000 The Office of the Special Counsel opened the investigation after Senator Tom Cotton
00:03:06.520 sent a letter alleging Jack Smith's actions politically harmed President Trump during the 2024 election.
00:03:12.620 I wouldn't say potentially.
00:03:14.840 I would say they most certainly had that ambition in mind.
00:03:21.000 It's what the Marxist Dems do because they can't win fair and square. 0.99
00:03:24.280 They've got to do every remedy and every method they possibly could to cheat.
00:03:29.480 That's how it is.
00:03:31.140 President Trump currently enjoys the highest foreign policy job approval rating of any 21st century president.
00:03:38.120 At this particular point in his second term, Trump has a 43% job approval rating on foreign policy,
00:03:44.440 which tops both of his 21st century counterparts, President George W. Bush and President Barack Hussein Obama.
00:03:52.720 At this point in his second term, Bush's foreign policy approval rating sat at a dismal 36%.
00:03:58.180 Obama's was equally dismal at 37%.
00:04:01.180 Now, compared to his first term, public reception of President Trump's foreign policy performance
00:04:05.460 has improved from 35% to 43%.
00:04:09.460 President Trump, getting those foreign issues done,
00:04:13.100 it's now time for him to take the issues back here to America
00:04:16.800 as the American people deserve the America First agenda.
00:04:21.220 We all want it, and I think President Trump is on his way to giving it to us.
00:04:24.660 And the infighting in the Republican Party didn't just end at President Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:04:29.500 Congresswoman Nancy Mace of South Carolina is calling for the immediate censor
00:04:34.420 and removal of Congressman Corey Mills of Florida
00:04:36.900 from the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs,
00:04:41.560 citing a series of alarming ethical, legal, personal conduct allegations.
00:04:48.440 Here it goes, folks.
