00:00:00.000Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, October 20th.
00:00:04.620Happy Monday, folks. A busy weekend for the Marxist Dems as they held their No Kings protests, rallies, whatever you want to call them.
00:00:12.700In big cities across America, the Marxist Dems forgot that we elected Donald Trump back in November and there's no king and Donald Trump doesn't see himself as a king and nobody sees Donald Trump as a king.
00:00:23.660Just a great American leader. President Trump was asked about it last night upon boarding Air Force One to head back to Washington, D.C. Here's what he had to say.
00:00:33.540I think it's a joke. I looked at the people. They're not representative of this country.
00:00:38.360And I looked at all the brand new signs made for, I guess it was made for by Soros and other radical left lunatics.
00:00:45.240It looks like it was. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective.
00:00:51.000And the people who were whacked out, when you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country.
00:01:55.880They stopped buying our soybeans because they thought that was punishment.
00:01:58.720And it is punishment to our farmers, but we're not going to allow that to happen because I made a great trade deal with China, a $50 billion trade deal.
00:02:39.540It's going to be fantastic for both countries.
00:02:42.000And it's going to be fantastic for the entire world.
00:02:44.600As I said, the news of President Trump meeting with the leaders of China, sending markets soaring today, making the stock market great again.
00:02:52.740James Comey, former disgraced FBI director, his problems may be getting a little bit worse.
00:02:58.240Federal prosecutors are now signaling they may remove James Comey's attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, as his lead counsel because of his involvement in former FBI director's leak of classified information to the media through Daniel Richman.
00:03:12.260A grand jury, of course, in the Eastern District of Virginia, indicted FBI director James Comey last month, indicted on two counts, false statements, and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
00:03:21.820If convicted, James Comey is facing up to five years in prison.
00:03:25.260Prosecutors are suggesting that Comey's attorney, Fitzgerald, who's a close friend of Comey's, could have an insurmountable conflict of interest as a result of the disclosures of the information that he had leaked.
00:03:36.780And some more bad news for the Marxist Democrats, as if the bad news doesn't ever stop for them.
00:03:43.820We're in the longest government shutdown now in the history of this country because of the Marxist Democrats and Chuck Schumer.
00:03:50.060Well, now that the No Kings rally is over, we'll see if Schumer decides to open the government back up.
00:03:54.980But nonetheless, bad news for the Democrats.
00:03:59.820But the latest numbers out today, House Republicans had a record-breaking fundraising hole in the third quarter, bringing in $24 million from July through September.
00:04:10.380Of that, $14 million arrived in September alone.
00:04:13.820For greater perspective, the NRCC raised $9.3 million in September in 2023, the previous off year.
00:04:21.380In 2023's third quarter, the NRCC raised $18.5 million.
00:04:27.800The Democrats are getting absolutely killed.
00:04:30.860So in all, the NRCC raised $93 million this year and has $46 million cash on hand as it gears up for key swing state races across the country.
00:04:40.680Now, let's hope the Republicans and the NRCC spend that money the right way and not spend it on other candidates like we've seen in the past,
00:04:50.560wasting the money, throwing away chances for the 2026 midterm elections.
00:04:54.960We'll have to see and hope Mike Johnson keeps his foot on the gas and endorses the right people.
00:05:00.700Folks, please be sure to join us tonight, 6 p.m. Eastern Time for The Great America Show, 6 p.m. Eastern Time.
