00:00:00.000Hello, everybody. I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, November 19th.
00:00:04.800Happy Wednesday, folks. We're halfway through another week.
00:00:07.620We almost made it to the weekend. Hang in there. The weekend is almost here.
00:00:11.940We've made it through a half a week. We'll finish it out and get to the weekend very, very shortly.
00:00:16.540Let's get to some news of the day. Why don't we?
00:00:18.880President Trump with the Saudi Arabian delegation earlier today renewing his calls for Jerome Powell to once again lower the interest rates.
00:00:28.700He says mortgage rates are down despite Powell and his playing and messing around with the numbers.
00:00:35.220President Trump called on Scott Besson to work on this guy.
00:00:38.920And President Trump wants him fired before his term is up. Take a listen.
00:00:43.140The mortgage rates are down despite the Fed. I mean, Scott, you got to work on this guy.
00:00:48.760He's got some real mental problems. No, he's something wrong with him.
00:00:52.940But it's just sweet. I'll be honest. I'd love to fire his ass. He should be fine.
00:00:59.900Guy's grossly incompetent. And he should be sued for spending four billion dollars to build a little building.
00:01:08.480I'm building a ballroom that's going to cost a tiny fraction of that.
00:01:13.080And it's bigger than the whole thing put together.
00:01:15.620You got to work on him, Scott. The only thing Scott's blowing it on is the Fed.
00:01:23.760Because the Fed, the rates are too high, Scott.
00:01:27.940And if you don't get it fixed fast, I'm going to fire your ass, OK?
00:01:33.800I can't tell you, Scott, sir, don't fire him.
00:01:37.860Sir, please don't fire him. He's got three months to go. Don't fire him.
00:01:43.780I want to get him out, Scott. Please. He's the voice of reason.
00:01:47.900You're very lucky you have him. I'll tell you that.
00:01:50.640There's one thing about President Trump. He's never too subtle about anything.
00:01:54.920He gets right to the point. And that's, I think, what most people love about him.
00:01:59.380Or if you're a Trump deranged Marxist leftist, that's probably what you hate about him.
00:02:04.920His willingness to tell you how it is.
00:02:08.820A top deputy to former junkyard jackal special counsel, Jack Smith,
00:02:12.620was criminally referred to the Justice Department for obstruction of Congress this afternoon.
00:02:17.840Jack Smith, of course, appointed special counsel in 2022 by Joe Biden's attorney general, Merrick Garland,
00:02:23.460to investigate Trump just one day after Trump announced his 2024 bid for the White House.
00:02:28.680House Chairman Jim Jordan referred Thomas Windham,
00:02:31.680former senior assistant special counsel to Jack Smith, the DOJ,
00:02:36.460for refusing to answer every question during a deposition before the House Judiciary Committee members.
00:02:42.160Wisdom is accused of intentionally obstructing the committee's fact-finding mission.
