0:00The Bleacher Report app is your destination for sports. Right now, the NBA is heating up, March Manus is here, and MLB is almost back. Every day there's a new headline, a new highlight, a new moment you've got to see for yourself. That's why I stay locked in with the Bleacher Report app. For me, it's about staying connected to my sports. I could follow the teams I care about, get real-time scores, breaking news, and highlights all in one place. Zalo, the Bleacher Report app today, so you never miss a moment. Hello, everybody. I'm John Falson with this great America show, midday update for Monday, March 2nd. Happy March, folks. Hope you all had a great weekend, and your weeks are off to a great start. President Trump, over the weekend, launching a blistering attack on Iran taking out the Ayatollah Khameini. We're going to be talking all about that tonight and much, much more tonight in the Great America show, Congressman Corey Mills. President Trump addressed that earlier this afternoon, Operation Epic Fury, take a listen. Today the United States military continues to carry out large-scale combat operations

1:04in Iran to eliminate the grave threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime. Following our obliteration of Iran's nuclear program in Operation Midnight Hammer, a short while ago, we warned Iran not to make any attempt to rebuild at a different location because they weren't able to use the ones that we so powerfully blew up, but they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons. In addition, the regime's conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically, and this posed a very clear colossal threat to America and our forces stationed overseas. The regime already had missiles capable of hitting Europe and our bases both local and overseas and would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America. The purpose of this fast-growing missile program was to shield their nuclear weapon development

2:08and make it extraordinarily difficult for anyone to stop them from making these highly forbidden bias nuclear weapons. We were the ones that were complaining. We were the ones that wanted it to stop, but everybody was behind us. They just didn't have the courage to say so. An Iranian regime armed with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat to the Middle East, but also to the American people. Our country itself would be under threat, and it was very nearly under threat. I was very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal by President Barack Hussein Obama. That was a horrible, horrible, dangerous document. They would have had nuclear weapons three years ago, and they would have used them, but I'll not let that happen. I think we should also bow at night knowing that President Trump is at the helm, and he is the President of the United States right now, and not somebody like Joseph Robinette,

3:12Biden, President Trump, of course, exhausted all diplomatic outlets. His first four years, and now his first year back in the second term, exhausting all options diplomatically with special envoy Steve Whitkopf, Jared Kushner, they really tried to, for the last year, plus, work out something amically with Iran, which simply just meant they had to turn over their nuclear weapons in, seemed they couldn't do that. The Iatola instead wanted to play tough guy, and make blanket threats. There was only one problem. He was on the losing side. Secretary Warp Pete Hegsett today, speaking before President Trump, warning that there may be some radical Islamist sleeper cells here in America that we should be worried about. Take a listen. Across the United Agency, in full coordination, of course, we're paying attention to any potentialities there. This is a former regime, a regime that seeks to export that ideology and try to sow terror.

4:15We're ready for that. We've seen these types of folks before, and the American people can rest assured that we're vigilant on that. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to follow up on that last question. There was just this, what appears to be a terrorist attack in Austin yesterday. How does that change the operation at all? And I know the authorities are executing exactly the way they should. So that should be a wake-up call to all of us Americans to be vigilant that these sleeper cells may be in America. And it's a new day in America, which means it's a new day for an unelected judge to do something radical. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday, rejecting President Trump's request to delay the Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs. The Supreme Court recently struck down President Trump's tariffs in a six-three decision. As the Supreme Court said, President Trump did not have the authority to impose tariffs under the IEPA, the International Emergency's Economic Powers Act, the High Court's decision only invalidates Trump's tariffs under that IEPA, Chief Justice John Roberts, Coney Barrett,

5:20Neil Gorsett's, of course, signing with the three Marxist liberals, Conservative Justices Alito, Thomas Kavanaugh, signing with President Trump. President Trump and his administration has asked for a 90-day delay, but the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals denied the request to which I say he should tell the courts to kick rocks just as Joe Biden did when it came time for student loan forgiveness.

Before AT&T Business Wireless, checking out customers on our mobile POS systems took too long. Basically, a staring contest where everyone loses. It's crazy what people say during an awkward silence. Now transactions are done before the silence takes hold. That means I can focus on the task at hand and make an extra sale or two. Sometimes I do miss the bonding time. Sometimes.
