Hello everybody, I'm Jon Fosso with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, September 18th.
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,
00:00:19.720
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.
00:01:25.400
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?
00:02:12.380
Those four weak-kneed Republicans voted to table the measure,
00:02:15.740
effectively giving Omar a pass for celebrating political violence,
00:02:27.620
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,
00:02:37.500
I am pleased to inform our many USA patriots that I am designating Antifa,
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.
00:02:57.780
And the organization that Charlie Kirk spent over 10 years building, Turning Point USA,
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.
00:04:15.260
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.
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.
