| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawson with this Great America Show. Midday Update for Tuesday, April 7th. Happy Tuesday, folks. |
| 0:05.9 | Today may be the day of reckoning for the folks of Iran and the Ayatollahs over there, |
| 0:11.4 | who have been causing disruption to the whole entire world, not just the United States, for 47 years. |
| 0:18.1 | President Trump speaking with Brett Baer of Fox News just moments ago saying that 8 p.m. |
| 0:23.2 | is happening. Now, President Trump has said at 8 p.m. air strikes are happening to bridges and |
| 0:30.0 | power plants across the country should Iran not be able to make a deal by that 8 p.m. Eastern |
| 0:35.8 | time deadline. Now, the United States has launched a series of targeted missile strikes earlier Tuesday |
| 0:40.8 | on Iran's highly strategic Karg Islands, sending a clear message to Tehran |

| 1:17.4 | production itself. It's also being reported that power was cut off to Karg Island. This is just, |
| 1:23.9 | I think, a warning message to President Trump, from President Trump, rather, |
| 1:28.1 | to the Iranian regime to come to the table and it's simple. |
| 1:32.3 | Get rid of your nuclear weapons and all the problems go away. |
| 1:36.6 | You would think with such a simple task with such a simple thing that the IRGC would be able to come to the table and just get it over with the ready. |
| 1:45.9 | But I guess not. |
| 1:48.0 | Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche today confirming that an investigation has been opened. |
| 1:53.6 | You folks remember the weekend that American F-15E strike eagle was shot down over Iran |
