Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Tuesday,
00:00:04.040
September 16th. President Trump is en route to the United Kingdom. President Trump is the first
00:00:08.980
U.S. President to make two state visits to the United Kingdom. As he arrives today in London,
00:00:13.580
he's reportedly expected to quote, go easy on the embattled Prime Minister,
00:00:17.660
Keir Starmer, who understands is on the ropes. The visit will kick off as Starmer is insisting
00:00:23.640
not to resign over his appointment of Jeffrey Epstein's best pal, Lord Mandelson, and his
00:00:29.640
friendship as U.S. Ambassador. Once landing today, President Trump is expected to join the King's
00:00:35.380
salute in the carriage procession at Windsor Castle. He will also lay the wreath at the tomb of Queen
00:00:40.900
Elizabeth II before a state banquet where he and the King are expected to deliver speeches. Thursday
00:00:45.920
offers the potential for awkward questions for President Trump and, of course, Sir Keir. They're
00:00:51.280
expected to appear together at a press conference at the end of the visit before the President flies
00:00:55.520
back home. It's never a dull moment in the Trump administration, or for President Trump, I guess
00:01:00.380
for that matter. President Trump last night, late in the evening, announced he's filed a $15
00:01:05.460
billion libel lawsuit against the New York Times and several reporters, including Michael
00:01:11.300
Schmidt. The lawsuit was filed in Tampa, Florida, federal court. President Trump accused the newspaper
00:01:16.600
of being a virtual mouthpiece for the radical left Democratic Party and said they gave Kamala
00:01:21.520
Harris the single largest illegal campaign contribution ever. President Trump posting
00:01:28.840
Today I have the great honor of bringing a $15 billion defamation libel suit against the New
00:01:33.360
York Times, one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the history of this country,
00:01:38.820
becoming a virtual mouthpiece for the radical left Democratic Party. I view it as the single
00:01:43.640
largest illegal campaign contribution ever. Their endorsement of Kamala Harris was actually
00:01:48.460
put dead center on the front page of the New York Times, something never heard of before.
00:01:54.540
The Times has engaged in decades long of methods of lying against your favorite president,
00:01:59.400
my family, business, the America First Movement, MAGA, and our nation as a whole.
00:02:04.780
I am proud to hold this once-respected rag responsible as we are doing with the fake news networks,
00:02:10.980
such as our successful litigations against George Stephanopoulos, ABC, Disney, 60 Minutes,
00:02:16.900
CBS Paramount, who knew they were falsely smearing me through a highly sophisticated system
00:02:22.340
of documentation and visual altering, which was in effect a malicious form of defamation and thus
00:02:28.280
settled for record amounts. They practice this long-term intent and pattern of abuse,
00:02:34.340
which is both unacceptable and illegal. New York Times has been allowed to freely lie and smear and
00:02:43.240
The suit is being brought in the great state of Florida. Thank you for your attention. To this
00:02:48.220
matter, make America great. Again, it's great to see President Trump holding these scum
00:02:53.480
liable for the slander and defamation they've done upon him for 10 years now. Imagine that,
00:03:02.900
And a New York judge, a radical New York judge, I should say, on Tuesday,
00:03:06.300
dropping the state terrorism charges against UnitedHealthcare CEO killer,
00:03:10.120
Luigi Mangione. You folks remember, December last year, Mangione was indicted on 11 criminal
00:03:16.540
counts, including first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism, for the ambush and
00:03:21.280
killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg previously
00:03:26.540
outlined the charges in a statement, revealing that the New York Supreme Court indictment includes
00:03:30.840
murder in the first degree, a Class 1 felony, murder in the second degree, a Class A felony,
00:03:35.860
two counts of those, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession
00:03:39.940
in the third, fourth degree as well, and criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second
00:03:45.480
degree. The judge dismissed two terrorism charges on Tuesday, citing lack of sufficient evidence.
00:03:51.380
I'm sure it was one of those same judges who's come after President Trump, you know.
00:03:56.960
And some bad news for big old Fannie Willis down in the great state of Georgia. The Georgia
00:04:01.420
Supreme Court has declined to hear Fannie Willis' attempt to reinstate herself in the junk Rico
00:04:07.560
case against President Trump and some defendants in a 4-3 decision. This morning, the Fulton County
00:04:13.200
Supreme Court declined to hear Fannie Willis' attempt to reinsert herself into the racketeering case
00:04:18.460
against President Trump and his co-defendants over the 2020 presidential election. Willis, of course,
00:04:24.100
came under scrutiny after it was revealed she was romantically involved with the lead prosecutor,
00:04:28.840
Nathan Wade. Wade was paid over $650,000 from 2021 to 2023, while other prosecutors, John Floyd and
00:04:37.240
Anna Cross, were paid just $73,000 and $91,000 respectively for the same time period. This was
00:04:45.140
attributed to more billable hours, but also the $250 per hour rate for Wade, while Floyd's firm initially
00:04:52.000
was billing just $100 an hour less, eventually the fees aligned. Imagine that, another Democrat caught
00:04:59.320
in lying, stealing, and perhaps cheating? Congressman Nancy Mace announcing today that the House of
00:05:06.260
Representatives will vote on a resolution to strip Democrat, Marxist, Hamas sympathizer, whatever you
00:05:13.100
want to call her, Ilhan Omar, of all her committee assignments. This is due to Omar's vile,
00:05:19.120
unhinged, and despicable celebration of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who's murdered
00:05:25.640
brazen political hit last week. Omar, the Somalian-born socialist who has long-pedaled
00:05:31.180
anti-Semitic tropes and defended terrorist sympathizers, gloated and grinned throughout
00:05:36.540
an interview with the disgraced former corporate media hack following Kirk's assassination.
