Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawson with this Great America show Midday Update for Wednesday, June 18th. Happy Wednesday folks.

President Trump spoke to reporters earlier this morning, signaling it's never too late for Iran to continue their negotiations with the United States,

following Israel's attacks on its nuclear facilities last week and the exchange of many rockets between the two nations.

President Trump speaking, while those two big, beautiful American flags were being installed on the White House lawn.

It wasn't before President Trump humiliated a reporter for asking him if he's moving closer to striking Iran.

Like President Trump is going to tell a reporter from probably a fake news network when he plans to and if he plans to strike another nation.

Folks, these people can't be this dumb or can they? Take a listen to the exchange.

About whether you are moving closer, you believe the U.S. is moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities. Where's your

mindset on that? I can't say that, right? You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that way.

Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component in what time exactly, sir? Sir, would you strike it?

Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch? I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it.

You don't know.

I may do it.

I may not do it.

I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.

I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate.

And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before?

All this death and destruction, why didn't you negotiate with me before? All this death and destruction.

Why didn't you negotiate? I said to people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago?

You could have done fine. You would have had a country.

It's very sad to watch this. I mean, I've never seen anything like it. It's so, you know, everyone thought it was going to be the reverse. I didn't.

I didn't think so.
