| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show Midday Update for Tuesday, March 24th. |
| 0:04.7 | Some big news out of the Senate last night. Let's take a listen to just what happened. |
| 0:10.1 | On this vote, the I's are 54, the nays are 45. The nomination of Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma to be Secretary of Homeland Security is confirmed. |
| 0:28.6 | Under the previous order, |
| 0:30.9 | the motion to reconsider is considered made laid upon the table. |
| 0:33.3 | The president will be immediately notified of the Senate's action. |
| 0:34.4 | And there you have it. |
| 0:36.8 | Senator, former Senator, I should say Mark Wayne Mullet, |
| 0:43.0 | confirmed as the next Department of Homeland Security Secretary. Senator Rand Paul voting once again no on that Monday vote. Rand Paul has voted no in every procedural vote leading up to Monday's |
| 0:48.2 | final floor vote. Democrat Senator John Fetterman and Martin Heinrich voting yes. Democrat Senator Ruben Gallego not voting |

| 1:17.2 | Speaking of Congress, the Democrats are hopeful and wishful that they're going to retake the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms. |
| 1:23.5 | I beg to disagree, but should they? |
| 1:26.0 | Maxine Waters is demanding that she resume her position as |
| 1:29.3 | chair of financial services committee. Considering the fact that she's 87 years old, Maxine Waters should |
| 1:35.2 | probably retire. What does she bring to the table that Congress can't do without? Now, both parties |
| 1:40.5 | obviously have this problem. They have members of Congress who are literally dying in office because they refuse to give up their seats. It's absolutely a joke. And it makes you |
| 1:49.4 | wonder, why does Maxine Waters care so much about getting back on financial services and running |
| 1:53.8 | the joint? I think we've sort of figured it out by now just by looking at some of her friends |
