Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, April 30th.
00:00:06.140
President Trump's first hundred days now in the rearview mirror as we look to the next hundred days
00:00:10.520
and the next three-plus years of President Trump in the Oval Office with his great administration.
00:00:15.660
In a fiery Oval Office interview marking that hundred-day milestone of his second term,
00:00:20.900
President Trump tore into ABC News anchor Terry Moran
00:00:24.340
while defending his administration's tough stance on illegal immigration.
00:00:27.820
The interview aired last night quickly escalated into a heated exchange over that Supreme Court order
00:00:34.360
involving that illegal immigrant, exposing the media's bias and Trump's unwavering commitment for border security.
00:00:41.160
The confrontation was centered around Kilmar Abrego Garcia, that Salvadorian illegal immigrant
00:00:45.600
and member of MS-13, who was deborted by the Trump administration despite his protective order.
00:00:51.900
We'll put that protective order into air quotes.
00:00:54.180
Moran, who was the interviewer, pressed Donald Trump on the Supreme Court's ruling to facilitate Garcia's return
00:01:00.920
to the United States, accusing the administration of violating the rule of law.
00:01:05.780
President Trump didn't mince any words when talking about Abrego Garcia,
00:01:10.820
doubling down in fact that he will no longer be allowed back in this country,
00:01:15.340
and President Trump saying he will not facilitate any sort of return.
00:01:20.880
And now the Supreme Court has upheld an order that you must return him to facilitate his return to the United States.
00:01:29.220
Well, the lawyer that said it was a mistake was here a long time, was not appointed by us,
00:01:35.140
should not have said that, should not have said that.
00:01:38.100
And just so you understand, the person that you're talking about, you know, you're making this person sound,
00:01:42.480
this is a MS-13 gang member, a tough cookie, been in lots of skirmishes, beat the hell out of his wife,
00:01:50.920
and the wife was petrified to even talk about him, okay?
00:01:54.000
This is not an innocent, wonderful gentleman from Maryland.
00:02:06.120
You could pick it up, and with all the power of the presidency, you could call up the president of El Salvador and say,
00:02:12.020
And if he were the gentleman that you say he is, I would do that.
00:02:15.340
But the court has ordered you to facilitate that.
00:02:18.280
That news anchor should have known you don't walk into a lion's den and expect to pet a kitten.
00:02:24.700
For lack of a better analogy, I think that suits it pretty well.
00:02:28.280
Pretty unprepared for Morant to think he was going to go in there and school Donald Trump on immigration,
00:02:34.680
The Marxist radical judges who are ruining this country added again,
00:02:38.900
a radical judge has stepped in to free a Hamas-loving student
00:02:42.720
after the Trump administration arrested him in the process of trying to become a U.S. citizen.
00:02:47.600
Columbia University student in motion, Madhuali, a U.S. permanent resident who was born and raised in West Bank,
00:02:54.540
was detained on earlier this month by the Department of Homeland Security
00:03:00.520
Madhuali has supported Hamas terrorists and bullied those who did not share his faith.
00:03:05.480
He's also the co-founder of Columbia's Palestinian Student Union.
00:03:08.960
He's a vocal critic of Israel defending itself against Hamas,
00:03:12.400
an organization protesting at Columbia University until March of 2024,
00:03:20.540
The Trump administration used a rarely used provision in immigration law that permits it to remove aliens
00:03:25.900
who pose serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.
00:03:30.840
Supporting Hamas in their cruel war against Israel certainly qualifies.
00:03:35.440
This fellow planned to return to Columbia University in the fall for a master's degree,
00:03:39.540
but he would not have the chance unless a Democrat judge has intervened.
00:03:44.960
A federal judge in Burlington, Vermont, no less, stepped in and ordered his immediate release from custody.
00:03:52.280
Two weeks of detention so far demonstrate great harm to a person who has been charged with no crime.
00:03:58.340
This according to U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Crawford.
00:04:05.560
You've got like three or four options to pick from.
00:04:14.640
And so these Marxist, unelected federal judges continue to unleash havoc on America
00:04:18.940
as if they're going to save this country against the big bad orange man.
00:04:25.660
A group of sick, sick people who mean to harm America.
00:04:31.200
with these constant rulings just to go against the Trump administration.
00:04:37.160
We hope to get that thing turned around and get it, you know, back to where we need to be.
00:04:43.160
