Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday,
00:00:03.880
August 7th. Happy Thursday, folks. President Trump sending the Marxist Dems and the radical
00:00:09.380
leftists in a downward spiral, once again triggering the left with an announcement this
00:00:14.820
morning that could threaten the Democrats' hold on several congressional seats and electoral votes.
00:00:21.080
President Trump announced that he has ordered the Department of Commerce to immediately start
00:00:24.880
working on a new sentence that would exclude illegal aliens from being counted. One legal
00:00:30.260
resident would be included. That's it. President Trump writing on Truth Social, quote, I have
00:00:35.200
instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin on working on a new, highly accurate census
00:00:40.420
based on a modern day fact and figures, and importantly, using the results and information
00:00:46.480
gained from the presidential election of 2024. People who are in our country illegally will not
00:00:52.760
be counted in the census. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, the census count
00:00:58.180
is used to appropriate House seats determined by the number of votes each state gets in the
00:01:03.180
Electoral College for selecting our President of the United States and drive the flow of trillions of
00:01:08.720
dollars into government funds. Now, the radical Democrats are in disarray because the Democrats can
00:01:14.780
lose 20 to 30 seats, possibly, because of the illegals being counted in the census and for people
00:01:21.560
leaving deep blue states like New York and California for a little bit better lifestyle in Florida and
00:01:28.720
Texas. This is not going to be good for the Marxist Dems, and I guess I can kind of understand why
00:01:34.580
they're in absolute disarray. President Donald Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook announcing an upgraded
00:01:40.720
investment plan. That's right. Yesterday it was $100 billion. Now it's $600 billion. Apple is now committed to
00:01:46.660
$600 billion to the U.S. economy over the next four years, up from the original $500 billion that was pledged
00:01:52.680
earlier this year. At a White House press event yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook, standing alongside President
00:01:58.300
Donald Trump, revealed that American manufacturers are on track to produce 19 billion chips for Apple this year
00:02:04.760
across 24 factories in 12 states, while committing to source only U.S.-made rare earth magnets
00:02:11.660
or its devices. That's a far different prospect than what we saw over the last few years with
00:02:17.780
Joseph Robinette Biden as our president. America first, America only is how Donald Trump is running
00:02:24.160
this ship. And Kash Patel, who's got his hands full over at the FBI, firing former acting director
00:02:30.580
Brian Distrill and other senior officials involved in January 6 cases and the Trump witch hunts. CNN is
00:02:37.860
reporting that on Thursday, former acting director Brian Driscoll, acting director in charge of the
00:02:43.820
Washington field office, Steve Jensen, and special agent Walter Giardino have all been fired. Walter
00:02:50.860
Giardino hunted down Trump advisor Peter Navarro. More FBI firings are on the way. These folks are
00:02:57.860
terrible people who all need to go. So great on Kash Patel for making this work. And some news over in
00:03:04.680
the Middle East, Benjamin Netanyahu, sitting down for an interview with Bill Hemmer, says that he
00:03:10.500
will take over control of Gaza. He further noted that control will not be permanent. Control will
00:03:15.700
eventually be handed over to armed forces that will govern it properly. Enough is enough with Hamas.
00:03:22.040
Take a listen to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with Bill Hemmer of Fox News.
00:03:26.640
You will go immediately into a meeting with your security cabinet. Will Israel take control of all of Gaza?
00:03:33.800
We intend to, in order to assure our security, remove Hamas there, enable the population to be
00:03:43.280
free of Gaza and to pass it to civilian governance. That is not Hamas and not anyone advocating the
00:03:50.340
destruction of Israel. That's what we want to do. We want to liberate ourselves and liberate the people
00:03:55.800
of Gaza from the awful terror of Hamas. And President Trump was asked about the big loser who will no longer
00:04:02.900
have a show. Thank God. Howard Stern will be departing Sirius XM after a long career. President Trump had
00:04:10.640
these words to say for good old Howard Stern. Take a listen.
00:04:15.820
I've got an entertainment-based question for you. A few weeks ago, Stephen Colbert announced that he was
00:04:20.560
leaving his show. Howard Stern announced that him and Sirius XM radio are parting ways. Do you think that
00:04:28.920
hate Trump business model that's been in the entertainment business is going out of business
00:04:34.580
because it's not popular with the American people? Well, it hasn't worked and it hasn't worked really
00:04:39.360
for a long time. And I would say pretty much from the beginning, Colbert has no talent. I mean,
00:04:44.400
I could take anybody here. I could go outside on the beautiful streets and pick up a couple of people
00:04:49.800
that do just as well or better. They get higher ratings than he did. He's got no talent.
00:04:53.520
Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They're next. They're going to be going. I hear
00:04:58.320
they're going to be going. I don't know, but I would imagine because they get, you know,
00:05:02.620
Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon. You know that. Howard Stern, it's a name I haven't
00:05:08.300
heard. I used to do a show, used to have fun, but I haven't heard that name in a long time. What
00:05:12.500
happened? He got terminated? Yeah, they're in a separate way because I think what they're off
00:05:16.480
salary-wise is real low than what he's getting. You know when he went down? Whenever you want.
00:05:21.740
You know when he went down? No. Before, when he endorsed Hillary Clinton, he lost his audience.
00:05:28.060
People said, give me a break. He went down when he endorsed Hillary Clinton.
