00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, May 21st.
00:00:04.580 Happy Wednesday, folks.
00:00:06.120 President Trump meeting with the president of South Africa in the Oval Office today.
00:00:10.620 Boy, was it an uncomfortable meeting for President Cyril Ramessosa.
00:00:16.340 It began cordially, but when Ramessosa protests against claims of genocide that President Trump had been talking about in South Africa,
00:00:24.020 he decided to play a video, and President Trump playing a 10-minute video of the president to see what was going on in his country,
00:00:31.520 as if he's never seen before.
00:00:33.240 President Trump, after the video, addressing the white farmers who are being murdered on their own farms and nothing being done about it.
00:00:40.280 Take a listen.
00:00:41.280 But you do allow them to take land.
00:00:44.460 No, no, no, no.
00:00:45.120 You do allow them to take land.
00:00:46.740 Nobody can take land.
00:00:47.420 And then when they take the land, they kill the white farmer. 0.80
00:00:50.520 And when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them. 0.63
00:00:54.020 No, there is quite...
00:00:55.740 Nothing happens to them.
00:00:56.580 There is criminality in our country.
00:00:59.560 People who do get killed, unfortunately, through criminal activity, are not only white people.
00:01:07.460 The majority of them are black people.
00:01:10.100 And we have now been utilizing...
00:01:11.380 The farmers are black. 0.92
00:01:12.340 The farmers are not black. 0.99
00:01:13.580 I don't say that's good or bad.
00:01:15.140 But the farmers are not black.
00:01:17.340 And the people that are being killed in large numbers, and you saw all those grave sites,
00:01:22.840 and those are people that loved ones going, I guess on a Sunday morning, they told me, to pay respect to their loved ones that were killed.
00:01:31.160 Their heads chopped off.
00:01:33.220 They died violently.
00:01:36.300 And, you know, I mean, we're here to talk about it.
00:01:39.180 And I didn't know we'd get involved here.
00:01:41.420 But I will say this, that if the news wasn't fake, like NBC, which is fake news, totally, one of the worst, ABC, NBC, CBS, horrible.
00:01:51.240 But if they weren't fake news, like this jerk that we have here, if we had real reporters, they'd be covering it.
00:01:58.240 But the fake news in this country doesn't talk about that.
00:02:02.640 They don't want to talk about it.
00:02:04.180 But now they have to talk about it.
00:02:06.340 But they won't.
00:02:07.000 And during that meeting with the president of South Africa, President Trump, of course, always taking questions from the press,
00:02:12.920 was asked what he calls a stupid question by Peter Alexander of a Marxist-left organization.
00:02:19.240 We won't give them any clout on where he's from, but a Marxist organization.
00:02:22.920 President Trump calling him out because today's the day that the U.S. government accepted that 747 jet from Qatar.
00:02:29.740 Take a listen to President Trump taking this fellow to task.
00:02:32.860 Oh, boy.
00:02:33.920 He's probably wishing he didn't ask the question.
00:02:36.080 Mr. President, the Pentagon announced they would be accepting a Qatari jet to be used as Air Force One.
00:02:41.880 What are you talking about?
00:02:44.720 What are you talking about?
00:02:46.060 You know, you got to get out of here.
00:02:49.180 What does this have to do with the Qatari jet?
00:02:51.660 They're giving the United States Air Force a jet, OK?
00:02:55.260 And it's a great thing.
00:02:56.620 We're talking about a lot of other things.
00:02:58.900 It's NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw.
00:03:02.140 You are a real, you know, you're a terrible reporter.
00:03:04.480 Number one, you don't have what it takes to be a reporter.
00:03:07.880 You're not smart enough.
00:03:08.860 But for you to go on to a subject about a jet that was given to the United States Air Force, which is a very nice thing.
00:03:15.860 They also gave $5.1 trillion worth of investment in addition to the jet.
00:03:21.640 But go back, you ought to go back to your studio at NBC because Brian Roberts and the people that run that place, they ought to be investigated.
00:03:31.740 They are so terrible the way you run that network.
00:03:35.080 And you're a disgrace.
00:03:36.340 No more questions from you.
00:03:37.580 Go ahead.
00:03:37.860 Go ahead.
00:03:42.200 Talk about that.
00:03:43.000 His name is Peter something.
00:03:45.220 He's a terrible reporter.
00:03:47.180 Quiet.
00:03:48.160 Quiet.
00:03:49.060 Quiet.
00:03:50.300 Let's go.
00:03:51.300 The fake news bears no boundaries for President Trump.
00:03:54.900 Brilliant, as always, as these Marxists look to undermine his administration, democracy, and America as a whole.
00:04:02.540 Elon Musk, who's now assimilating back to normal life, back as the CEO of Tesla, started slowly weaning his way out of the Doge commission, was on a teletown hall this week and was asked about Bill Gates because Bill Gates in recent weeks has been criticizing Elon and Doge, saying because of Doge, people are going to die.
00:04:24.000 Elon with a totally brilliant response.
00:04:26.500 I do want to ask you about USAID and the comments that Bill Gates made the other day, which I know that you called him.
00:04:36.100 Yeah, he's a huge liar.
00:04:37.320 I know.
00:04:38.120 You've said that already.
00:04:40.140 I wondered.
00:04:41.680 Also, who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children, given that he frequented Jeffrey Epstein?
00:04:51.640 Okay, well, he said he regrets.
00:04:56.340 I mean, he spent a lot of his own money on philanthropy around the world over the years.
00:05:04.540 My question to you is, have you looked at the data to check if he might be right that the cuts to USAID might cost millions of lives?
00:05:17.020 Yes.
00:05:18.280 I'd like him to show us any evidence whatsoever that that is.
00:05:21.940 Bill Gates, another one I'm sure regretting making such stupid, stupid comments.
00:05:26.340 And the Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Andrew Cuomo.
00:05:30.000 That's right, the Justice Department opening that investigation into Cuomo, who's now running for mayor of New York City,
00:05:36.880 over his testimony on nursing home deaths during the COVID pandemic.
00:05:40.940 Last month, House Oversight Chairman James Comer sent a resubmitted criminal referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi,
00:05:47.040 demanding the Department of Justice pursue charges against the disgraced former New York governor for lying under oath during the pandemic-era investigations.
00:05:55.640 We'll see what happens, but not too hopeful with how things have been going and the slow walking on investigations.
