00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday,
00:00:04.020 September 23rd.
00:00:05.140 We hope you all had a great weekend.
00:00:07.340 The U.S. has announced it's sending troops to the Middle East and warns Americans to
00:00:11.260 leave Lebanon ASAP.
00:00:13.180 The U.S. is sending troops to the Middle East in response to the surge in violence between
00:00:16.760 Israel and Hezbollah and as the region teeters on the edge of an all-out war.
00:00:21.680 The Pentagon announcing on Monday that additional enforcements would be deployed to join the
00:00:26.140 40,000 already stationed in that region.
00:00:28.320 Israel has ramped up their airstrikes deep inside Lebanon and the State Department has
00:00:32.700 warned that all Americans to leave as the risk of conflict spirals to levels not seen in years.
00:00:38.600 Tensions have reached boiling points in the last seven days and started to deteriorate
00:00:42.700 when pagers and walkie-talkies owned by members of Hezbollah exploded in a coordinated attack
00:00:48.280 last week.
00:00:49.780 Airstrikes by the Israeli military on Monday killed at least 100 people and injured another
00:00:54.140 400 in Lebanon as the IDF warplanes pummeled targets across the country.
00:00:59.400 New polling out from the New York Times and Siena has more good news for President Trump.
00:01:04.140 Donald Trump is growing his lead over Kamala Harris in Arizona and is still ahead in the
00:01:08.360 battleground states of North Carolina in Georgia.
00:01:10.520 In perhaps the most troubling news for Kamala Harris, Arizona, which President Biden won by
00:01:15.660 just over 10,000 votes in 2020, shows Trump ahead by 50% to 45%, the poll found.
00:01:22.500 Comparing that to the same pollster's findings in August, which had Harris leading by five
00:01:27.060 percentage points.
00:01:28.300 She's in deep trouble, I'd say.
00:01:30.060 And in North Carolina, which Trump won by just under 75,000 votes in 2020, he holds a lead
00:01:35.380 of 49 to 47, according to the Times poll.
00:01:38.660 And over in Georgia, which President Biden won by just under 12,000 votes in 2020, and
00:01:43.840 we say won with air quotes, along with Arizona, of course, Trump still has a slight lead, 49
00:01:48.740 to 45, the poll finds.
00:01:51.140 Trump polling ahead in all of these key battleground states just in time for the election.
00:01:56.440 The New York Times and Siena poll also showed that voters across the Sun Belt say their lives
00:02:01.140 improved when President Trump was in the White House.
00:02:03.320 I think that goes without saying.
00:02:05.580 The latest survey has further evidenced that the 2024 election could be one of the closest
00:02:09.360 in history in a very divided nation.
00:02:12.720 Folks, I don't even want to think about the prospect of President Trump not winning this
00:02:16.500 election.
