00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with This Great America Show, midday update for Wednesday, June 18th.
00:00:04.560 Happy Wednesday, folks.
00:00:06.260 President Trump spoke to reporters earlier this morning, signaling it's never too late for Iran to continue their negotiations with the United States,
00:00:13.680 following Israel's attacks on its nuclear facilities last week, and the exchange of many rockets between the two nations.
00:00:19.800 President Trump speaking while those two big, beautiful American flags were being installed on the White House lawn.
00:00:26.100 It wasn't before President Trump humiliated a reporter for asking him if he's moving closer to striking Iran.
00:00:33.620 Like President Trump is going to tell a reporter from probably a fake news network when he plans to and if he plans to strike another nation.
00:00:42.680 Folks, these people can't be this dumb. Or can they? Take a listen to the exchange.
00:00:47.420 About whether you are moving closer or you believe the U.S. is moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities.
00:00:54.460 Where's your mindset on that?
00:00:56.100 I'm going to say that, right? You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question.
00:00:59.900 Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component? And what time exactly, sir?
00:01:05.700 Sir, would you strike it? Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch?
00:01:10.340 I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it. You don't know. I may do it. I may not do it.
00:01:14.660 I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.
00:01:16.040 I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble.
00:01:20.280 And they want to negotiate.
00:01:23.240 And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction?
00:01:27.880 Why didn't you negotiate? I said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago?
00:01:32.940 You could have done fine.
00:01:34.740 You would have had a country.
00:01:35.860 It's very sad to watch this.
00:01:39.080 I mean, I've never, I've never seen anything like it.
00:01:41.280 It's so, you know, everyone thought it was going to be the reverse.
00:01:43.780 I didn't, I didn't think so.
00:01:45.360 And I was telling them, you got to, you got to do something.
00:01:48.060 You got to negotiate.
00:01:49.800 And at the end, last minute, they said, no, we're not going to do that.
00:01:52.560 And they got hit.
00:01:53.980 Remember 60 days?
00:01:55.240 And then came the 60, 61 is going to become a very famous number.
00:01:58.800 That was one hell of a hit.
00:01:59.900 That first hit, that was one hell of a hit.
00:02:02.340 Not sustainable, to be honest.
00:02:04.120 That's where it ended.
00:02:05.380 It ended on the first night.
00:02:06.660 Yes.
00:02:06.900 Is it too late, though?
00:02:07.800 Do you think it's too late to now?
00:02:09.420 Really, nothing's too late.
00:02:10.900 The only thing too late is Powell.
00:02:13.220 Powell's too late.
00:02:14.100 Too late Powell.
00:02:14.780 Are the Iranians recounts you, Mr. President? 0.98
00:02:16.820 President Trump, of course, referencing Jerome Powell, who once again left rates unchanged
00:02:21.460 today, as he's doing all he can to stifle the Trump economy.
00:02:25.640 President Trump also asked about that big, beautiful bill.
00:02:28.600 President Trump says anyone who votes against that big, beautiful bill wants to give a 68%
00:02:33.560 tax increase.
00:02:35.140 There'll be no money for the border and will have billions of dollars allocated for immigration,
00:02:39.620 the borders, and keeping criminal out once we get that bill passed.
00:02:43.240 Take a listen.
00:02:43.720 I mean, anybody that votes against it, they voted to give a 59, a 68% tax increase, and
00:02:51.460 many other benefits.
00:02:52.580 There would be no money for the border.
00:02:54.940 You know, we have billions of dollars allocated to immigration, the border, keeping criminals
00:02:59.440 out, getting criminals out to it.
00:03:01.080 And that big, beautiful bill, of course, is still sitting in the Senate right now as they
00:03:18.400 mark down and they mark up and they figure out what exactly they want to do.
00:03:21.540 So, an Iranian government plane has landed in Oman.
00:03:25.000 Very interesting.
00:03:25.860 This is where the U.S. and Oman officials were beginning to hold their nuclear talks.
00:03:30.220 It's a very distinct sign that Iranian officials are worried and they might be backed into a
00:03:34.760 corner.
00:03:35.860 Very, very, very interesting to see what's happening over there.
00:03:39.860 Are the talks continuing?
00:03:41.380 Are the talks winding down?
00:03:43.760 What are they doing?
00:03:44.820 Will they come to a deal in the next few days or will the bombings continue?
00:03:48.680 Will there be American intervention into this war?
00:03:51.660 We're all folks.
00:03:52.400 We're all sitting back and we're waiting to see what's going to happen.
00:03:56.780 And over on Capitol Hill today, the Marxist Dems acting up.
00:03:59.660 The Democrats have abandoned a hearing on Biden's cognitive decline cover-up.
00:04:04.400 Democrats left the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday after delivering their opening
00:04:08.500 statements, refusing to participate in an inquiry into whether their party helped conceal President
00:04:14.400 Biden's cognitive decline.
00:04:16.740 Senators Dick Durbin and Peter Welcher, Vermont, attended the opening statements on Wednesday
00:04:20.860 morning's hearings on President Biden's mental decline.
00:04:24.340 Durbin walked out shortly after the remarks, during which he played a video montage attempting
00:04:28.860 to portray former president, then former president Donald Trump, as mentally unfit.
00:04:34.840 He already dismissed the hearing by stating, quote,
00:04:36.860 It's a waste of the Senate Judiciary Committee's time.
00:04:40.580 He then left the room.
00:04:42.380 Yeah, it was a waste of the Senate Judiciary's time, but it was also a waste of the American
00:04:45.760 people's time when you propped up Joe Biden to somebody he wasn't.
00:04:50.660 Or when you pretended like he was cognitively good, and he wasn't.
00:04:55.160 So the Democrats wanted to play the game, but now all of a sudden when it's time for the
00:04:59.460 truth to come out, the Democrats don't want to play the game.
