00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday,
00:00:04.280 November 22nd. Well, New York Judge Juan Merchant, you know, the man who's in charge of the Trump
00:00:09.760 hush money Stormy Daniels sham case, the one that Alvin Bragg brought. Well, today, Judge Juan
00:00:15.000 Merchant delayed Trump's November 26th sentencing in Alvin Bragg's case indefinitely. Merchant gave
00:00:21.240 Trump's lawyers until December 2nd to file a motion to dismiss. Trump previously asked the
00:00:26.140 judge to overturn a conviction or toss the case altogether. So the thing that just doesn't make
00:00:31.000 a lot of sense about this case is President Trump was set to be sentenced about two weeks ago. And
00:00:35.720 when Trump's lawyers asked for the case to just be thrown out or overturned, Merchant said, no,
00:00:40.340 we're going to push forward and we're going to sentence you on November 26th. Prior to that
00:00:44.720 happening, just after the 2024 election in November, Judge Juan Merchant apparently mulled throwing out
00:00:51.620 the case altogether just days after the election. Then flip-flopped said, no, he was being sentenced.
00:00:56.140 Then once again, flip-flopped said he wasn't going to be sentenced. Now we're back at it's being
00:01:02.100 postponed indefinitely. So not really making much sense what's up with Merchant and what he's going
00:01:06.920 to ultimately do. But nonetheless, I think Trump's in very good shape right now as he heads into the
00:01:13.640 inauguration in January. And team Trump has had it with the rhinos in the Senate. The five rhino senators 0.99
00:01:19.600 who think they were voted America's leader and refuse to support Matt Gaetz for AG, Mitch McConnell,
00:01:25.200 Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Mark Wayne Mullen, and center-elect John Curtis from Utah, you know,
00:01:31.020 the fellow who took over for rhino Mitt Romney. Well, they may be in a little bit of trouble,
00:01:36.260 I guess we could say. According to ABC News, team Trump is threatening the rhino senators with Elon
00:01:41.280 Musk-funded primary opponents if they decide to derail President Trump's nominee. Huh. It's about time
00:01:48.580 the Republican Party got strong and hold these rhinos accountable. Now, John Curtis is just 0.91
00:01:54.180 taking office now for Mitt Romney. But Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins and Mark Wayne Mullen
00:02:00.280 are all up for re-election on the next Senate bid. So they better watch their rear ends on what they
00:02:06.680 think they're going to do to President Trump because they're going to pay the price in the end,
00:02:10.960 I think. Some other folks who may be paying the price as woke colleges and universities are panicked.
00:02:17.060 They're trembling that Trump is going to take a wrecking ball to higher education.
00:02:20.700 In college and universities across the country that have embraced the woke culture and DEI,
00:02:25.500 of course, diversity, equity, and inclusion, are terrified that what Trump is going to do
00:02:29.940 when he's sworn in as president, these folks are terrified that Trump's going to come down with the
00:02:34.080 hammer, which he should. The truth is that higher education in the United States is desperately in
00:02:38.700 need of a major overhaul. Many students these days seem to believe that engaging in protests is the
00:02:44.060 main reason to go to college, rather than pursuing an education and a scholarship. Free speech has become
00:02:49.880 a rarity on college campuses while radicals supporting terror group Hamas are free to
00:02:54.680 march and denounce the Jews. Go figure, folks. Some schools have endowments that are bigger than 1.00
00:02:59.680 the GDP of some small countries, yet the cost of tuition, which is already too high, keeps on rising.
00:03:05.840 So we hope to God that President Trump comes in and does some reform to these folks because
00:03:10.980 enough is enough what the Harvards of the world have allowed these students to get away with and 1.00
00:03:17.460 limiting free speech of other folks who speak out against certain issues is criminal, in my opinion.
00:03:22.900 And President Trump weighs in on Mike Rogers leading the FBI following grassroots uproar.
00:03:28.400 The internet exploded this week with rumors that former GOP Congressman Mike Rogers was being
00:03:33.340 considered as FBI chief by President-elect Donald Trump in his second term. Mike Rogers recently lost
00:03:38.940 that Senate seat up in Michigan against very unpopular Democrat Alyssa Slotkin. Rogers, of course, 0.88
00:03:44.620 did not question the results and congratulated Slotkin in her win in the state that went for
00:03:48.600 President Trump by nearly 80,000 votes. Hmm. So where's the disconnect there, folks? Maybe Rogers
00:03:55.080 did not complain about his loss since he was very vocal trashing President Trump in 2020 for contesting
00:04:00.580 the highly controversial and improbable results of that election. Just recently, shocking comments by
00:04:07.400 Rogers have resurfaced, exposing his allegiance to the security state. Mike Rogers on the record making some
00:04:13.840 very wildish claims and jokes, I guess you can say, even joking about having Edward Snowden
00:04:21.340 assassinated. Not really that funny, Mr. Mike Rogers. Mike Rogers was also one of the most passionate
00:04:26.900 defenders of the Patriot Act, the NSA, and the warrantless surveillance of Americans. You all know
00:04:32.340 the Patriot Act that they used to spy on President Trump and do all that good stuff. President Trump
00:04:38.260 putting those rumors, though, to sleep, putting out a statement through his man Dan Scavino saying he
00:04:44.660 hasn't even thought about Mike Rogers to run the FBI. So there goes the fake news and fake media go
00:04:51.220 ahead and push in their agenda. CNN's Andrew McCabe, you know, that corrupt fellow from the FBI said Mike
00:04:56.980 Rogers would be an excellent choice. So I think that's disqualifier number two right there. Folks, be sure to
00:05:02.680 join us for today's episode of the Great America Show. We're joined by Rasmussen lead pollster, Mark
00:05:07.300 Mitchell, a great friend, a great friend of the show. We take a victory lap on the 2024 presidential
00:05:13.500 election. One that Mark got very right with Rasmussen and one that the rest of the pollsters
00:05:19.320 didn't get so right this time. Their Trump derangement syndrome got in the way just a tad bit. Will these
00:05:25.580 pollsters ever learn their lesson? Mark and I discussed today on the Great America Show, folks. Please be
00:05:30.860 sure to join us for that. I'm John Fawcett with this midday update. Have a great day, folks.
