00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show update.
00:00:04.060 It's been one month since the passing of the great Lou Dobbs.
00:00:07.200 Lou was indeed a patriot, a warrior, a champion for truth, justice, and the American way,
00:00:12.420 and so much more than that that we could spend hours talking about it.
00:00:16.160 To me, Lou was a mentor, a best friend, a guiding light, and a voice of reason I never knew I needed.
00:00:22.940 I have worked for Lou for the last almost six years, from various roles with him at Fox News,
00:00:28.080 starting out as his assistant and working my way up the ladder to a producer, a writer,
00:00:32.880 and on-air reporter for his number one show, Lou Dobbs Tonight.
00:00:36.960 Almost three years ago, I started this show with him as his executive producer.
00:00:41.260 After Fox so cowardly canceled his show, Lou Dobbs Tonight, Lou was not ready to give up the fight.
00:00:46.540 In fact, it only made him want to fight for this republic even more.
00:00:50.100 As such an accomplished person with such a distinguished career,
00:00:53.820 Lou could have rode off into the sunset and enjoyed the retirement he so deserved.
00:00:57.860 That was not in the cards for Lou.
00:00:59.580 He knew in his heart that his millions of followers out there needed him more than ever,
00:01:03.760 and so The Great America Show was started.
00:01:06.380 Lou worked tireless hours to put on this program, and even started back up his hour-long TV show,
00:01:11.480 Lou Dobbs Tonight, which aired every night on Frank's speech,
00:01:14.580 and he even hosted an hour-long radio show every Sunday on WABC Radio in New York City.
00:01:20.460 This is what Lou loved to do, so working seven days a week was Lou's idea of retirement.
00:01:25.220 I will admit, at times, he was so full steam ahead that even I had a hard time keeping up with him.
00:01:32.340 Working for Lou has been the honor of a lifetime for me and a life lesson that has been so invaluable.
00:01:37.300 He will always hold a massive place in my heart, and his passing has left a massive void in my life.
00:01:42.320 He is truly missed.
00:01:43.280 After taking a month off to reflect all that we have accomplished together as a team,
00:01:48.320 and visiting with Lou's wife, Debbie, who was Lou's pride, joy, and purpose,
00:01:52.560 we deliberated on the future of this show.
00:01:55.300 We decided that it's only right we continue on with The Great America Show in Lou's honor.
00:01:59.940 Lou had a vision for this great nation, and we intend on fulfilling that for him.
00:02:03.640 In the coming days, we will be starting back up the show with myself hosting.
00:02:07.960 I hope each and every one of Lou's millions of listeners who have put so much trust in him
00:02:12.120 will continue this journey with us, as I do my best to follow in his footsteps
00:02:17.100 and use everything he has taught me to promote truth, justice, and the American way in this great country.
00:02:23.660 I often joked with Lou that he had way too much integrity to be in this media business,
00:02:27.860 where integrity no longer exists.
00:02:29.680 But I vow to you, the millions of listeners, to hold myself to the same standard that Lou
00:02:34.420 held himself to, and the same standard he held me to.
00:02:38.480 I am looking forward to joining you all very soon, and please let me know what you want
00:02:42.340 to hear more of on this program.

00:02:57.820 I'm looking forward to having you all on this journey with me as we honor the great Lou Dobbs.
00:03:02.700 May God bless you, may God bless America, and may God bless the great Lou Dobbs.
