Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America show Midday Update for Thursday, May 1st.

Happy May folks. Those April showers, hopefully we'll start to bring some May flowers.

Some big news out of the White House this morning. We have our first departure. That's right.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong will be departing the White House this afternoon.

You may recall Mike Waltz. He was at the center of the Signalgate leaked chat.

That was when Jeffrey Goldberg, that Marxist leftist of the Atlantic, somehow added to a group

chat talking about plans to bomb Yemen, multiple people saying that the White House will be removing Waltz, his deputy Wong,

and much of the team at National Security Council because of unhappiness throughout the national security establishment about how they are doing.

It's also been revealed. Another interesting tidbit, Walt's expected firing is unrelated to the Signal Gate,

and the scandal, that is,

may have instead temporarily saved Waltz's job.

Quote, the West Wing is unhappy.

The State Department is unhappy.

This was before Signal Gate.

Ironically, Signal Gate may have saved Waltz's job because the president did not want to be seen as giving into Jeffrey

Goldberg. Very, very interesting. Multiple news outlets now confirming that Waltz will indeed be

departing this afternoon, as I said, with most of his team. And the Marxist Dems can't seem to

get a hold of themselves. So who's coming to the rescue? That's right,

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. King Jeffries has apparently figured out how bad it is and how

bad it looks for members of his party to be traveling to El Salvador to advocate for illegals who

have been deported by the Trump administration. Jeffries is reportedly quietly telling other Democrats

to knock off the trips and to stay the hell away from El Salvador.
