00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, March 26th.
00:00:05.340 Happy Wednesday, folks. I hope your days are all off to a great start and your midweek is going very well.
00:00:11.500 Well, the tariffs, you know those tariffs that just about a month ago everyone was complaining about?
00:00:15.860 These brilliant economists on the left, brilliant economists on the right, said President Trump was tanking the economy.
00:00:23.360 Even the not-so-smart politicians, Democrats and Republicans, the RINOs, saying that the tariffs were killing America.
00:00:29.400 They were killing the economy. Well, the statistics and the facts are showing otherwise.
00:00:36.920 The reciprocal trades are which are set to go into effect in just about a week, where a reciprocal trade tariff will be placed on nations who have tariffs on us.
00:00:46.780 India, we found out today, is considering a $23 billion tariff cut for the United States to avoid those reciprocal tariffs.
00:00:55.720 Indian government sources telling Reuters this week that New Delhi is considering that $23 billion tariff reduction on U.S. imports to stave off President Trump's threatened reciprocal tariffs,
00:01:06.940 which would affect at least $66 billion in Indian exports if they do take effect on the country on April 2nd.
00:01:15.340 According to Reuters, the Indian government ran the numbers and concluded it would fare much better off by lowering its tariffs, even though it will lose a great deal of income.
00:01:23.840 India becoming the first nation to wake up and smell the coffee and smarten up a little bit.
00:01:30.720 According to their analysis, New Delhi estimated that such reciprocal tariffs would hit 87% of its total exports to the United States worth $66 billion.
00:01:39.800 Under this potential restructure by India, India would be open to reducing tariffs on 55% of U.S. goods and its imports that are now subject to tariffs ranging from 5% to 30%.
00:01:50.800 I say great on India for being the first ones to wake up and realize that taking advantage of America, taking advantage of the United States and its people is not going to fly much longer, at least under President Trump.
00:02:04.880 And John Thune, showing his true colors.
00:02:09.740 John Thune, the Senate Majority Leader, has endorsed John Cornyn ahead of what is set to be a thorny primary.
00:02:16.500 Now, a primary challenger by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton could imperil Cornyn's grip on the Senate seat he's held since 2002.
00:02:23.260 John Cornyn, a massive rhino, a Trump impeachment rhino, has come out against President Trump multiple times.
00:02:32.480 Now, John Thune in his first test, first major test when it came to the party, failing.
00:02:38.040 Endorsing a rhino, a man who's not a Republican, not a Republican guaranteed vote, not a man who stands and fights with his party. 0.65
00:02:44.640 Yet, he's being endorsed by Senator John Thune.
00:02:49.480 We hope Ken Paxton, on this show at least, decides to run for that seat.
00:02:54.340 Ken's a great American, has done great work for this country and great work for the great state of Texas.
00:02:59.520 John Cornyn does not deserve to hold that seat any longer.
00:03:03.560 Speaking of rhinos, some GOP lawmakers are pressing for investigations of Trump's cabinet group chat.
00:03:10.080 Go figure.
00:03:10.700 Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker said this week that his committee will investigate the matter,
00:03:16.460 but also called on the Department of Defense's Inspector General to also launch a probe.
00:03:22.960 Now, Senators say the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is chaired by Senator Tom Cotton,
00:03:27.320 will also investigate the security lapse, according to people on that panel.
00:03:32.880 Where were these folks when Hillary Clinton was deleting emails?
00:03:36.980 33,000 emails, bleach-bidding phones.
00:03:39.700 Where were these rhinos then, when it came time to get down to truth and justice? 0.99
00:03:44.860 They were nowhere to be found.
00:03:47.220 Now, of course, Trump administration's in, America first, and they want to do everything they can to stifle it.
00:03:52.820 That's fine. That's what primaries are for.
00:03:56.060 And I'd be remiss if I left out.
00:03:57.840 Senator Lisa Murkowski said that if senior Biden official members of his administration
00:04:03.580 had made a similar mistake, Republicans in Congress would be blowing their tops.
00:04:08.740 Add another rhino to the list.
00:04:11.660 Add another rhino that needs to be primaried.
00:04:14.580 Because these people have got to go.
00:04:16.560 John Cornyn, Murkowski, Susan Collins of the world, all got to go.
00:04:20.660 They fight more against their own party, folks, than they do against the Marxist dams 0.75
00:04:25.500 who mean to destroy this country.
