Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, June 11th.
00:00:06.520
President Trump announcing on Truth Social a new deal with China
00:00:09.520
and one major detail of the agreement that's raising eyebrows.
00:00:14.080
Trump wrote in his social media post that he and Xi Jinping have a deal just waiting, signatures for both parts.
00:00:20.800
The first part of the agreement is that the U.S. will receive magnets and any necessary rare earth minerals from China ahead of time.
00:00:27.680
This is critical because China produces roughly 60% of all world's rare earth minerals and processes nearly 90% of them.
00:00:37.120
If China decided to cut off America from those metals, this could qualify as a nuclear option on their part.
00:00:43.140
Quote, our deal with China is done subject to final approval with President Xi and me.
00:00:47.620
Trump wrote in all caps, quote, full magnets and any necessary rare earths will be supplied up front by China.
00:00:54.500
Now, China is still getting a little bit of a significant win on their part.
00:00:59.140
Trump revealed that Chinese students will continue to be able to study at American universities,
00:01:03.260
even though some have been caught spying on Americans and smuggling in pathogens.
00:01:07.900
Trump wrapped up his statement by saying there will be a 55% rate on Chinese goods,
00:01:12.300
while American products in China would face a 10% rate.
00:01:16.600
Now, we'll see if China can hold up on their part of the deal.
00:01:22.540
We'll see if President Trump can get them to hold, and if they don't, what repercussions he will have for them.
00:01:28.920
ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five Marxist-damned-run cities across America.
00:01:34.020
This is escalating chaos and lawlessness ensues.
00:01:37.120
What began as just a federal immigration enforcement in Los Angeles has ignited demonstrations
00:01:42.320
and even violent riots in metropolitan areas across the country.
00:01:47.320
The targeted cities, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, and Northern Virginia,
00:01:52.680
all sanctuary strongholds where local leaders have long-thumbed their noses
00:01:57.020
at federal authorities shielding criminal illegal aliens while lawlessness festers.
00:02:02.300
These cities, of course, should be no surprise to anybody.
00:02:06.480
We watched what they allowed to happen during the summer of Love in 2020,
00:02:09.440
and it's not just riots, not just your typical protest.
00:02:13.360
There's looting in there, there's bricks, you know, appearing on street corners, all of that good stuff.
00:02:18.940
Now, this announcement comes as Los Angeles and other Marxist-damned-run cities
00:02:22.260
are spiraling into anarchy following these ICE raids.
00:02:26.960
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom,
00:02:29.740
both radical Dems, have fanned the flames of anarchy,
00:02:32.880
refusing to cooperate with federal authorities and instead coddling with lawbreakers.
00:02:38.280
This is what these folks do and blame, of course, Donald Trump.
00:02:41.180
Newsom even had the audacity to come out to President Trump and telling him to arrest me,
00:02:45.760
daring the administration to hold him accountable for his complicitness in this chaos.
00:02:50.880
President Trump, unyielding in his promise to secure our borders and protect American citizens,
00:02:54.860
has already deployed up to 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 active Marines to Los Angeles
00:03:01.340
to quell the riots, bypassing these spineless state officials who've abandoned their duties
00:03:06.740
and abandoned their folks who they are paid to represent.
00:03:11.280
Turning to some news that we've all been following for the past few days,
00:03:14.500
is Elon Musk issuing sort of an apology to President Trump?
00:03:19.780
Elon Musk posting on Twitter earlier this morning, as in 3 o'clock this morning,
00:03:26.180
I regret some of my posts about President Real Donald Trump at Real Donald Trump last week.
00:03:32.580
Now, President Trump, in an interview that comes out later this week with the New York Post's Miranda Devine,
00:03:38.040
says that he may possibly be open to reconciling with Elon,
00:03:46.540
with Elon coming out saying all those terrible things about a man who was nothing but a friend to him,
00:03:51.240
but decided to turn his back on him when he found out that Donald Trump was keeping his campaign promises
00:04:00.460
and that meant electric car subsidies and anything that came along with it.
00:04:04.280
Elon knew about this, and I sound like a brokered record saying this,
00:04:07.340
but Elon knew about this before President Trump got into office and was fine with it,
00:04:13.620
and then when push came to shove, Elon had a total meltdown with those subsidies.
00:04:18.820
So, we'll see what happens with President Trump if he decides to accept any sort of apology from Elon,
00:04:27.100
The House of Representatives voting this week, 266 to 148,
00:04:30.740
to repeal Washington, D.C.'s local resident voting right amendment of 2022,
00:04:35.800
which, of course, allowed non-U.S. citizens, including potentially illegal immigrants and foreign agents,
00:04:44.440
The bill, which was sponsored by a Republican from Texas, August Lugar,
00:04:47.460
drew more support from the Marxist Dems than I think we could have expected.
00:04:51.220
56 Democrats proving GOP's fears that D.C.'s progressive experiments threatens the sanctity of American elections.
00:05:01.620
Bad on those 148 Marxist Dems who don't care about securing our elections.
00:05:08.380
Because they steal, and they lie, and they cheat.
00:05:11.960
