00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, August 30th.
00:00:05.340 Failed RINO presidential candidate and former governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, has landed himself a new job.
00:00:10.920 And no, he's not taking over as spokesman for Ozempic.
00:00:13.660 Christie, believe it or not, will be teaching a course at Yale titled, quote,
00:00:17.220 How to Run a Political Campaign.
00:00:19.460 The new course will be available at Yale's Jackson School of Global Affairs, undergraduate and graduate students.
00:00:25.600 Christie's decision to teach a class on how to run a political campaign is quite amusing.
00:00:29.140 Considering the former governor dropped out of the 2016 and 2024 Republican primaries after failing to run a successful campaign.
00:00:37.520 In 2016, Christie received 0.18% of the vote in the Republican presidential primary.
00:00:43.300 And in 2024, he received a whopping 0.63%.
00:00:47.200 And President Trump has asked the federal courts to intervene in Alvin Bragg's hush money case following the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling.
00:00:54.700 In Thursday's filing, Trump's lawyers said moving the case to federal court following his May 30th conviction will give him, quote,
00:01:01.680 an unbiased forum free from local hostilities to address those issues.
00:01:06.280 If the case is moved to federal court, Trump's lawyers wrote that they will seek to have the verdict overturned and the case dismissed.
00:01:12.820 Trump's lawyers also say ongoing proceedings will continue to cause direct and irreparable harm to President Trump,
00:01:18.080 the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election, and voters located far beyond Manhattan.
00:01:24.400 Be sure to join us for today's episode of The Great America Show.
00:01:27.000 Our guest is House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.
00:01:29.900 Jim has launched an investigation into New York Judge Juan Merchant's daughter,
00:01:33.420 who has raked in almost $100 million off the Trump New York case.
00:01:37.660 I asked Jim what he says to the critics who say this is only just another strongly worded letter he has sent.
00:01:42.460 Take a listen to his response.
00:01:43.720 Well, I say that, you know, three weeks ago, GARM, the Global Alliance for Responsible Media,
00:01:50.580 which was censoring conservative websites, conservative platforms, telling companies,
00:01:56.700 oh, you don't want to advertise on these conservative shows and platforms and websites.
00:02:02.740 They discontinued operation because of our investigation.
00:02:06.300 I say the disinformation governance board that was trying to, that Department of Homeland Security was trying to form,
00:02:14.180 that went by the wayside.
00:02:15.480 They said we're no longer going to do that because of stuff we were working on in Congress
00:02:20.040 and, frankly, good guys like you on the outside who were getting the truth to people.
00:02:24.440 I look at the IRS no longer making unannounced visits.
00:02:27.100 I look at the letter we got from Zuckerberg, which he, you know, we did a year and a half investigation.
00:02:33.480 And Mark Zuckerberg admits in a letter he sent to us earlier this week,
00:02:36.760 the Biden-Harris administration was pressuring us to censor.
00:02:40.520 We, in fact, censored.
00:02:41.980 And we throttled back the Hunter Biden story.
00:02:44.920 And, oh, by the way, I'm not going to do Zuckerbucks anymore.
00:02:47.220 So just sometimes doing the oversight changes what happens.
00:02:51.640 And so we just got to keep that up.
00:02:53.660 And then we can't prosecute anyone because, you know, we don't control the Justice Department.
00:02:57.720 That's for the attorney general to decide.
