00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm Jon Fosso with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, September 18th.
00:00:05.000 It feels like Friday, folks.
00:00:06.860 The great news we got just last night, Jimmy Kimmel's show yanked off the airways
00:00:11.620 following his despicable lies about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and of MAGA,
00:00:17.320 which he's been doing for quite some time.
00:00:19.720 In a delicious twist of poetic justice, ABC affiliates are now set to replace the dirtbag comedian's time slot
00:00:26.900 with a heartfelt special tribute to Kirk himself.
00:00:30.000 On Friday, just last night, Nexstar announced that 32 of its ABC broadcast affiliates
00:00:35.320 would be pulling Jimmy Kimmel live indefinitely,
00:00:38.960 blasting Kimmel for his sick comments about Kirk's murders as offensive and insensitive.
00:00:44.220 During his Monday night monologue, Kimmel told his dwindling audience that Kirk was killed by a MAGA conservative,
00:00:50.500 which was of course a flat-out lie designed to smear Trump supporters
00:00:53.380 and turn the tragedy into political ammunition for the left.
00:00:57.100 FCC chairman Brendan Carr immediately slammed Kimmel and threatened to take action against ABC and Disney
00:01:02.420 for allowing blatant misinformation to air on national TV.
00:01:06.560 Now reports indicate that Kimmel is absolutely, quote, effing livid over being yanked off the air.
00:01:12.800 I mean, you spew lies for 10 years about a certain group of people.
00:01:18.620 Eventually, it's going to get you.
00:01:21.200 It's only right, I think, right?
00:01:23.100 Karma is a great thing.
00:01:25.400 Four weak-kneed Republicans siding with the Marxist Dems to kill an effort to censor radical Marxist leftist Ilhan Omar.
00:01:33.400 Last night, Congresswoman Nancy Mace's effort to censor Ilhan Omar for her vile celebration for the assassination of Charlie Kirk
00:01:41.060 was derailed, not by the Democrats, but by four spineless Republicans who chose to stand with the left.
00:01:48.240 Now you wonder, who are those spineless Republicans?
00:01:51.500 Who could be in favor of allowing Marxist radical Islamist Ilhan Omar off the hook?
00:01:57.060 Well, I'm going to tell you.
00:01:58.920 Congressman Mike Flood of Nebraska.
00:02:01.580 Congressman Jeff Hurd of Colorado.
00:02:04.420 Congressman Tom McClintock of California.
00:02:07.560 And Congressman Corey Mills of Florida.
00:02:10.260 Rather disappointing one.
00:02:12.380 Those four weak-kneed Republicans voted to table the measure,
00:02:15.740 effectively giving Omar a pass for celebrating political violence,
00:02:19.980 allowing her to keep doing what she does.
00:02:23.360 The Republicans are very, very weak.
00:02:25.820 It's about time, folks.
00:02:27.620 President Trump announcing this week he is designating Antifa as a major terrorist organization.
00:02:34.800 President Trump writing on Truth Social last night,
00:02:36.780 quote,
00:02:37.500 I am pleased to inform our many USA patriots that I am designating Antifa, 0.96
00:02:42.640 a sick, dangerous, radical left disaster, as a major terrorist organization.
00:02:47.940 I will also be strongly recommending that those funding Antifa be thoroughly investigated
00:02:52.720 in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.
00:02:55.820 Thank you for your attention to this matter.
00:02:57.780 And the organization that Charlie Kirk spent over 10 years building, Turning Point USA,
00:03:02.160 has named a new CEO and board chair.
00:03:05.520 Erica Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, was named the new CEO and board chair of Turning Point.
00:03:09.500 In a statement just moments ago, they say it was an honor of our lives to serve as board members at Charlie's side.
00:03:15.380 Charlie prepared all of us for a moment like this one.
00:03:18.240 He worked tirelessly to ensure Turning Point USA was built to survive even the greatest tests.
00:03:23.300 And now it is our great pride to announce Erica Kirk as the new CEO and chair of the board for Turning Point USA.
00:03:29.220 Congratulations to Ms. Kirk and we pray for her.
00:03:33.440 And we pray for the rough road that she has ahead.
00:03:36.780 Kamala Harris seemingly won't go away, although she said she wasn't running for president, right?
00:03:40.920 She said elections were rigged so she wasn't running anymore, but seemingly out in the media far too often.
00:03:47.200 In her new book that's coming out very shortly, which I'm sure will be a flop, which has been obtained by The Atlantic,
00:03:54.800 Kamala revealed that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was not her initial choice for a running mate, but a backup option.
00:04:00.620 Her first target was someone more in line with the Democratic Marxist ideology, I guess you could say,
00:04:06.000 and a member of what we call a protected class.
00:04:09.300 Pete Buttigieg was said to be Kamala's first choice until she was talked out of it.
00:04:14.480 I wonder why.
00:04:15.260 I think it's safe to say, should Kamala decide to run, which I believe she's going to, contrary to all her lies,
00:04:21.860 she is the presumptive frontrunner for that 2028 nomination.
00:04:25.620 And to all of us who watched what unfolded from her campaign, I think we all ought to convince her to run, run, run, Kamala. 0.66
00:04:36.220 Please run.
00:04:37.540 We really would love to see you out there on the campaign trail again.
00:04:40.640 And J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio or whoever the Republican nominee is in 2020.
00:04:44.440 Hey, maybe even Donald Trump, you know.
00:04:46.540 We'd love to see you back out there.
00:04:48.480 Folks, please be sure to join us tonight, 6 p.m. Eastern time for The Great America Show.
00:04:52.460 6 p.m. Eastern time for The Great America Show.
00:04:54.280 I'm John Fossett with this midday update.
00:04:56.360 Have a great day, everybody.
00:04:57.240 Have a great day, everybody.
