Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, August 13th.
00:00:08.660
A federal appeals court this afternoon reversing a district court's order
00:00:12.320
and allowing President Trump to cut billions of dollars in foreign aid payments that Congress already approved.
00:00:18.760
A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 ruling overruled a lower court's order
00:00:24.480
that originally blocked President Trump from cutting billions of dollars to USAID.
00:00:28.460
The three judges include Majority Karen Henderson, who was a George H.W. Bush appointee,
00:00:34.700
Gregory Katzis, who was a Trump appointee, and, of course, the dissident vote Florence Pan, a Biden appointee.
00:00:41.460
The cuts now that have been approved by this three-judge panel says that President Trump can slash
00:00:45.760
up to roughly $2 billion in foreign aid payments that they originally halted earlier this year,
00:00:51.600
delivering yet another victory to President Trump's administration months after President Trump sought to dismantle the U.S. agency
00:01:00.360
This, of course, is an agency that we found out through the workings of Doge,
00:01:07.820
President Trump this afternoon calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi
00:01:11.260
to investigate and prosecute Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, and the ilk who all took part in the Russian collusion hoax,
00:01:19.040
which was recently revealed by documents declassified by the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard,
00:01:24.300
to have been orchestrated by Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton and furthered by their cronies like Adam Schiff.
00:01:31.140
Trump saying, quote, hopefully something is going to happen with it, pointing at Pam Bondi in a press moment earlier this afternoon.
00:01:39.880
Now, Tulsi Gabbard last month, you recall, declassified a December 2016 presidential briefing
00:01:45.080
revealing that Barack Hussein knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was just a hoax.
00:01:50.960
Now, a second batch of previously undisclosed documents released days later,
00:01:55.020
including more proof that Barack Hussein directly gave the order to publish the Russia collusion hoax,
00:02:01.360
knowing that there was no proof to ever back it up.
00:02:04.600
Barack Hussein is just as guilty as the rest of them, if not more,
00:02:08.180
as a sitting president of the United States of America.
00:02:12.320
Now, some new news out today being broken by Just the News.
00:02:17.460
Former FBI Chief Christopher Wray knew about Adam Schiff leaking classified documents to the press,
00:02:26.380
It was just another one of Chris Wray's many possible criminal access FBI director.
00:02:31.820
On Monday, Just the News, which is John Solomon's outlet, a terrific, terrific news source and reporting outlet,
00:02:38.900
broke the news that a Democrat whistleblower told the FBI in 2017 that Adam Schiff
00:02:43.340
okayed leaking classified information and documents with the intent to harm President Trump.
00:02:48.760
That same Democrat whistleblower told FBI agents also from the agency in St. Louis office,
00:02:54.800
again in 2023, that he personally attended a meeting at which Adam Schiff
00:03:03.100
I thought Donald Trump was the one who stole classified information
00:03:06.700
and hid it in Mar-a-Lago as President of the United States.
00:03:11.140
But no, Adam Schiff, all of a sudden now, a big leaker.
00:03:18.500
The FBI, under Christopher Wray, allowed these criminals to act and do whatever they wanted.
00:03:23.760
Chris Wray, of course, had a long record of allowing the Bureau to engage in criminal acts under his direction.
00:03:29.380
I mean, it's absolutely repulsive what that man allowed to happen under his watchful eye.
00:03:34.800
And I think it's time that he gets brought into Congress maybe to answer some questions
00:03:39.420
to figure out just what he knew, when he knew it, and why he did absolutely nothing about it.
00:03:45.900
Now, let's remember, this is Christopher Wray, appointed by President Trump.
00:03:50.360
So I think we need to get to the bottom of some questions,
00:03:53.240
find out just what he knew, like I said, and when he knew it.
00:03:57.280
New York, if it's not already in trouble, it's going to be in a lot of trouble.
00:04:01.420
Polling for the upcoming race for New York City's next mayor shows communist and anti-Semite
00:04:11.220
A new Siena College poll, taken between August 4th and 7th,
00:04:14.880
gives New York City voters 44% of support to Mamadani,
00:04:30.880
while the current Democrat mayor, Eric Adams, who's running as an independent,
00:04:37.400
So New York is on their way to becoming socialist New York.
00:04:43.800
And in case you missed it last week, Greg Gutfeld of Fox News
00:04:46.780
appeared on the failing Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon for the first time ever.
00:04:51.520
Some people saw it as a possible turning point for the late night TV show,
00:04:54.660
which had been taken to the far left over the last few years.
00:04:58.780
The good news for Fallon is that Gutfeld brought a lot of viewers with him.
00:05:02.100
The Tonight Show ended up getting the best ratings they've gotten this year.
00:05:12.340
marking the highest rated Tonight Show of 2025,
00:05:15.420
giving the program a 57% increase compared to its year data average
00:05:23.320
Maybe these people should take that as a wake-up call, right?
00:05:27.400
