00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, September 15th.
00:00:04.620 Happy Monday, folks.
00:00:05.960 A new report out today, the FBI is looking into individuals who appear to know about Charlie Kirk's assassination before it even happened.
00:00:14.000 The FBI has reportedly obtained numerous screenshots from individuals who appeared to signal that something very big was about to happen on the day that Kirk was assassinated.
00:00:22.740 One of these warnings came a month ahead of the event.
00:00:25.660 Some of the posts listed the exact date weeks in advance.
00:00:29.160 It's also being reported that several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals and at least one followed Charlie Kirk's assassination, Tyler Robinson, and his transgender roommate.
00:00:39.560 For example, in one of the social media posts dated on September 3rd, an ex-user account wrote, quote,
00:00:45.160 It'd be funny if someone like Charlie Kirk got shot on September 10th, LMAO, the acronym for laughing my ass off.
00:00:53.020 Back on August 6th, an ex-user predicted September 10th will be a very interesting day after the murder user wrote, I plead the 5th.
00:01:02.480 This is just a few examples of these sick, demented people who may have known in advance that Charlie Kirk was going to be killed by this psychopath, Tyler Robinson.
00:01:11.740 And low-rated Howard Kurtz, who hosted a weekend show on Fox News, using his last show before signing off, to go after Charlie Kirk and, I guess, people on the right?
00:01:22.560 Kurtz and his guests took the time to point out that the radicalism is on both the right and the left, but of course failed to substantiate any claims about it happening on the right.
00:01:33.140 Take a listen to Kurtz and his guests and how Kurtz used his last episode on Fox News, on his failed show, I should say, to say that Charlie Kirk was not a saint.
00:01:43.080 Take a listen.
00:01:43.720 There is violent extremism on both sides.
00:01:45.980 It is not proportionate.
00:01:47.520 And in order to have an honest conversation about what led to this moment, that has to focus in part on the left.
00:01:52.460 I'm glad you mentioned that it's not unique to one side or one party.
00:01:56.520 Charlie Kirk was not a saint.
00:01:58.680 He said two years ago, it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so we can have the Second Amendment.
00:02:07.600 But his murder makes this feel like a very dangerous time.
00:02:11.360 And daughter of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, Maureen Comey, filing a lawsuit this morning against the Trump administration over her firing and demanded to be reinstated.
00:02:23.660 Comey's lawyers claim that the firing was purely political because her father is the former FBI director.
00:02:28.680 Quote, defendants fired Ms. Comey solely or substantially because her father is former FBI director James B. Comey, or because her perceived political affiliations and beliefs, or both.
00:02:39.540 Maureen was fired as a federal prosecutor in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office in July.
00:02:44.960 Maureen didn't call out Trump by name, but she attacked the president and his administration in a message after being fired. 0.95
00:02:51.760 Posting, quote, fear is a tool of a tyrant wielded to suppress independent thought.
00:02:56.800 Now, Maureen Comey or her lawyers, of course, forgot to mention the big high-profile cases that she worked on, like the botched Diddy case or the botched Ghislaine Maxwell case.
00:03:08.340 Diddy, it's yet to be seen because he hasn't been sentenced yet, but may not go to jail, perhaps at all, let alone the life in prison sentence that they were looking for,
00:03:17.120 because of her ridiculous RICO charges that she brought against him, knowing damn well that they were never going to sit, or Ghislaine Maxwell, who will be released from jail before she dies. 1.00
00:03:27.780 So, perhaps that's a reason, Maureen.
00:03:31.480 Perhaps that's why you were fired, for not doing your job, or for doing your job with some sort of malice.
00:03:38.100 And President Trump earlier this afternoon hinting that a deal has been reached regarding TikTok, the app called the modern-day Trojan Horse, by the Chinese government,
00:03:48.080 and an ongoing trade negotiations between the United States and China.
00:03:51.860 President Trump posting the following message on Truth Social earlier today.
00:03:55.620 The big trade meeting in Europe between the United States of America and China has gone very well.
00:04:00.660 It will be concluding shortly.
00:04:01.820 A deal was also reached on certain companies that young people in our country very much wanted to save.
00:04:08.460 They will be very happy.
00:04:10.240 The president also mentioned that he would be speaking with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday,
00:04:14.500 emphasizing the strength of the relationship between the two nations.
00:04:17.640 Now, the fate of TikTok in the United States has been uncertain since Congress passed a law in April of 24,
00:04:23.420 requiring ByteDance to divest from the app or face a nationwide ban, which was later upheld by the Supreme Court.
00:04:30.120 The Trump administration has repeatedly delayed the implementation of this law,
00:04:34.520 seeking to negotiate a deal that would address national security concerns,
00:04:38.520 while preserving the app for its American user base.
00:04:41.820 Treasury Secretary Scott Besson confirmed that the framework has been reached on TikTok deal,
00:04:46.580 stating that commercial terms have been agreed upon.
00:04:48.980 However, the details of that agreement have not been made public yet.
