Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with This Great America Show, midday update for Wednesday, June 18th.
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.
00:00:56.100
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.
00:01:16.040
I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble.
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?
00:01:39.080
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.
00:01:45.360
And I was telling them, you got to, you got to do something.
00:01:49.800
And at the end, last minute, they said, no, we're not going to do that.
00:01:55.240
And then came the 60, 61 is going to become a very famous number.
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%
00:02:35.140
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.
00:02:43.720
I mean, anybody that votes against it, they voted to give a 59, a 68% tax increase, and
00:02:54.940
You know, we have billions of dollars allocated to immigration, the border, keeping criminals
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.
00:03:25.860
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
00:03:35.860
Very, very, very interesting to see what's happening over there.
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?
00:03:52.400
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
00:04:16.740
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.
00:04:42.380
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.
