00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, March 14th.

00:00:04.920 Happy Friday, folks. I hope your days are all off to a great start and you're ready for the weekend, just as much as I am.

00:00:11.080 Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is launching an investigation after the Daily Mail reportedly blew the lid off an air traffic controller cheating scandal.

00:00:20.220 Duffy putting all DEI hires at the FAA on notice after this bombshell leaked audio.

00:00:25.780 The story that was published this week exposed how a powerful figure in a massive Federal Aviation Workers Association gave test answers to a black and minority candidates ahead of a make-or-break test.

00:00:39.040 Now the bombshell report revealed its audio of Shelton Snow of the National Black Coalition of the FAE, the Federal Aviation Employees, promising to give answers in advance before the prospects took the difficult exams.

00:00:52.840 Quote, I'm about 99.99% sure that this is exactly how you will need to answer each question, Snow could be heard saying.

00:01:02.400 After reading the Daily Mail exclusive, Sean Duffy, I guess he's doing his reading, reposted a story on X and announced a new probe into the diversity, equity, and inclusion DEI practices with inside the FAA.

00:01:14.920 Duffy says, quote, I am launching a full investigation into the DEI hiring allegations at the FAA immediately.

00:01:21.000 If true, swift accountability will come for those responsible.

00:01:25.360 He says nothing in the allegations first reported in the Daily Mail story.

00:01:29.040 He say ends with, we need the best and brightest, not buzzword, DEI hires.

00:01:34.360 Great on Sean Duffy and great on the Trump administration for doing what they've got to do.

00:01:39.700 On a bad note, a Marxist Obama judge has ordered President Trump to rehire 20,000 fired probationary workers across 18 agencies.

00:01:49.260 Huh.

00:01:50.460 U.S. District Judge James Bradar, an Obama appointee, said the Trump administration cannot conduct massive layoffs without warning the workers.

00:01:58.920 Quote, when the federal government terminates large numbers of employees, including those still on probation because they were recently hired or promoted, it must follow certain rules.

00:02:07.340 The judge wrote in a 56-page order, quote, some of those rules are intended to help states manage the consequences of sudden and mass layoffs. 0.96

00:02:16.320 Marxist damn judges with severe, severe Trump derangement syndrome doing all they could to shut down the America First MAGA agenda. 0.98

00:02:26.240 I'm not entirely sure it's going to last very long with these folks. 0.99

00:02:29.260 President Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in the birthright citizenship fight that he's been taking on.

00:02:36.060 Four federal judges have blocked President Trump's birthright citizenship executive order.

00:02:40.340 According to President Trump, the order, the 14th Amendment is being misinterpreted by the left and gave citizens to anchor babies, giving them citizenship to stay in this country.

00:02:50.980 President Trump asking SCOTUS to stay, the nationwide injunction issued by the federal judges.

00:02:55.980 Once again, these Marxist judges doing all they can to try to ruin the MAGA agenda.

00:03:03.800 It's not going to last, as I say.

00:03:05.800 And President Trump is reportedly moving forward with plans to retake the Panama Canal.

00:03:10.100 According to newly released documents, President Trump has asked the military leaders to, quote,

00:03:15.560 draw up options for a plan that would either see the U.S. partnering more closely with the Panamanian security forces or potentially taking the canal back by force.

00:03:24.080 The report states that the U.S. Southern Command is developing potential plans that vary from partnership more closely, as I said,

00:03:31.800 or the less likely option that U.S. troops will seize the canal by force, whether military force is used or not.

00:03:38.320 The officials added depends on how much Panamanian security forces agree to partner with the United States.

00:03:44.140 Trump administration's goal is to increase the U.S. military's presence in Panama to diminish the Chinese influence there,

00:03:50.060 particularly across the canal, according to this latest report.

00:03:54.080 President Trump campaigned on it, and now he's promises made, promises kept, folks.

00:04:00.440 And MSNBC's host, Rachel Maddow, has lost a stunning quarter of her TV-watching audience since the 2024 election.

00:04:09.180 Folks, that's not good.

00:04:11.660 The Rachel Maddow Show averaged 2.3 million viewers from the start of 2024 until Election Day, 0.67

00:04:16.340 but shed 22% for an average audience of just 1.8 million from Trump's victory through March 7th.

00:04:23.300 The decline is even more drastic among advertiser-voted demographic of ages 25 to 54.

00:04:29.100 The Rachel Maddow Show has lost 29% in the crucial category,

00:04:32.800 while comparing to her post-election day audience to 2024's totals before Trump's decisive win over Kamala Harris.

00:04:40.480 Folks, bad news for Rachel Maddow and for the Marxist Dems. 0.74

00:04:45.340 Those demographic numbers, those 25 to 54, is how these networks make money.

00:04:50.180 So let's hope those things keep continuing to fall,

00:04:52.900 so these places go out of business for all the fake news that they've spread.

00:04:57.320 House Oversight Chairman James Comer, he's got his eye on a new culprit.

00:05:01.720 Comer says the Biden administration covered up hundreds of suspicious ActBlue fundraising reports.

00:05:06.480 ActBlue, folks, you may recall, is that fundraising arm of the Marxist Dem party used to fundraise.

00:05:12.620 James O'Keefe actually uncovered a lot of money in fraud,

00:05:16.880 donations being made under other people's names.

00:05:19.740 Those folks never knew the donations were made or made those donations themselves.

00:05:24.540 So James Comer's on to it, and he's got two years to get the job done.

00:05:28.820 We'll see what he does.
