Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, April 23rd.
00:00:05.580
Vladimir Zelensky, I don't know what the heck can be done with this man, or what's got to be done,
00:00:10.320
or where he's got to go, or where he's got to resign to, or where he's got to flee to,
00:00:14.180
but Zelensky has once again rejected the peace deal framework reportedly proposed by the Trump
00:00:19.160
administration of freezing the lines of the conflict and recognizing Crimea as Russian territory.
00:00:24.720
Planned peace talks in London on Wednesday were downgraded as it's become clear that major fault
00:00:28.640
lines remain over what an acceptable end of the war would look like. According to the reports,
00:00:33.920
last week in Paris, Washington's negotiators put forward an outline of a deal that will end the
00:00:38.960
conflict, which includes America's recognition of Russia's ownership of Crimea, which Moscow has
00:00:44.640
controlled since 2014. That's right, this wasn't under even Joe Biden, this wasn't under President
00:00:49.940
Trump, this was under Barack Hussein Obama. So since 2014, and it's an area that's traditionally under
00:00:55.760
the Russian sphere of influence, they speak Russian, their culture is Russian, everything about
00:00:59.860
them is Russian. So this should be an easy one for Vladimir Zelensky to just end the war, right?
00:01:04.920
Seems that Zelensky doesn't really want the end to the war, as he has suggested. You guys remember
00:01:10.860
just a few weeks ago when he came to the White House and acted a fool because he didn't want to end
00:01:15.600
the war, acting like a big tough guy. We'll see what happens. President Trump asked yesterday
00:01:22.100
evening the Oval Office about the Epstein documents. President Trump deferring to Attorney General
00:01:27.920
Pam Bondi. Take a listen. Speak to the Attorney General about that. I really don't know. I know
00:01:33.160
that we've done, we've done the RFK, the Kennedy, Martin Luther King is out there very shortly. So
00:01:40.400
we'll find out. And we've, we've really, really announced, uh, uh, we're doing them in full
00:01:47.800
transparency. You know, when we did, uh, JFK, people would say, Oh, maybe it wasn't all. It was
00:01:54.760
all. And people actually went up to the office and they looked at some things that were, you know,
00:02:00.180
not really easily available. And they were amazed that we, we gave it all. And, uh, I don't know if
00:02:07.280
it solved any problems for people. People still have questions one way or the other, but that I'm not,
00:02:11.820
but 100% of all of these documents are being delivered. So it doesn't seem apparent if and
00:02:17.640
when we will ever get the full Epstein documents, uh, not holding my breath, especially when it's
00:02:23.280
under control of Pam Bondi. President Trump raising his stakes this week in the ongoing feud with one
00:02:29.980
of the biggest DNC law firms in the country. Trump stripped the security clearances of the employees
00:02:35.340
of Perkins Coie back in March. You recall that crooked Hillary Clinton and Perkins Coie paid more than a
00:02:40.340
million dollars to hire an oppo research firm, Fusion GPS, to amplify the bogus Trump-Russia dossier
00:02:46.260
during the 2016 election. President Trump, uh, unrelenting, uh, on these Marxist Dems, President
00:02:52.560
Trump on Truth Social saying, quote, I'm suing the law firm of Perkins Coie for their egregious and
00:02:58.080
unlawful acts, in particular, the conduct of specific members of this firm, only to find out that the judge
00:03:04.300
assigned to this case, Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee and a highly biased and unfair
00:03:10.040
disaster. She ruled against me in the past and in a shocking display of sick judicial temperament
00:03:15.920
on a case that ended up working out very well for me on appeal. Her ruling was so pathologically bad
00:03:21.940
that it became, quote, talk of the town. I could have a hundred percent case and she would angrily
00:03:27.360
rule against me. It's called Trump derangement syndrome. She's just got a bad case of it. To put
00:03:32.260
it nicely, Beryl Howell is an unmitigated train wreck. No justice. So President Trump,
00:03:38.400
uh, unrelenting against these Marxist Dems who came after him in 2016 and again in 2020.
00:03:44.540
Well, Elon Musk's time may be coming to an end at Doge. We reported just a few weeks ago that,
00:03:50.200
uh, may, may be a likely, uh, month for Musk to step aside. Musk announcing yesterday
00:03:56.040
on a Tesla earnings call that he's going to reduce time spent on the Doge committee starting in May
00:04:01.200
to refocus on Tesla, getting that share price back up to where it was. Just in, second-ranked
00:04:08.120
Senate Democrat Dirty Dick Durbin announces his retirement. He will not seek re-election in 2026.
00:04:14.800
After 44 years embattled in the swamp, Senator Dick Durbin is calling it quits. He was first
00:04:20.100
elected to the U.S. House in 1982 and served seven terms before coming elected into the Senate in 1996.
00:04:26.800
The 80-year-old said that the age was a factor in his decision. I guess Durbin doesn't want to end
00:04:32.700
up like Mitch McConnell. He wants to go off into the sunset and make that money that these politicians
00:04:38.300
all consider doing once they leave office. Scott Besson, Treasury Secretary on Wednesday,
00:04:43.800
called for sweeping reforms at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, urging the
00:04:48.560
institutions to abandon what he described as mission creep and return to their founding charters
00:04:53.340
focused on macroeconomic stability, trade, and development. Now, speaking of globalists,
00:04:59.360
the World Economic Forum is investigating the founder, Klaus Schwab, over corruption allegations.
00:05:04.180
Klaus Schwab, he should be a household name if you've been tuned into Lou Dobbs for the last 30 years
00:05:09.560
or so. Well, he's reportedly investigated by the organization he started after a whistleblower's
00:05:14.980
letter made serious allegations against the dictator and other family members. Now, Schwab and his wife
00:05:21.860
are being accused of ethical misconduct and financial misconduct, all of which he denies,
00:05:27.820
including the alleged use of luxury apartments and travel at the crux of the claims. These claims
00:05:33.980
are first made public by the Wall Street Journal. Klaus Schwab, a globalist and a hater of America.
