Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, September 4th.
00:00:06.000
Happy Thursday, folks. The weekend's almost here.
00:00:08.580
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. came out on fire during a critical Thursday Senate hearing at the Deep State.
00:00:16.500
The Democratic allies attempted to force him out of his job just as he's trying to make America healthy again.
00:00:23.240
One Democratic senator in particular came out on the short end of the stick
00:00:26.980
when he tried to challenge the informed Kennedy who responded with some of the most brilliant things I think I've ever heard him say.
00:00:35.120
And he takes no crap, RFK Jr. He doesn't care who it's from.
00:00:39.340
He went after every single Democrat who went after him.
00:00:42.280
And boy, you can pick any one of them and they all got eviscerated.
00:00:45.740
But the one who was particularly embarrassed was Senator Wyden.
00:00:51.660
Take a listen to RFK Jr. telling him how little he's done.
00:00:56.100
and over 20 years as a senator for any kids with chronic diseases or anybody.
00:01:02.440
Enacting an agenda that I think is fundamentally cruel and defies common sense.
00:01:07.440
Senator, you've sat in that chair for how long?
00:01:11.240
20, 25 years while the chronic disease in our children went up to 76 percent.
00:01:18.620
You never asked the question why it's happening.
00:01:21.760
Today, for the first time in 20 years, we've learned that infant mortality has increased in our country.
00:01:30.920
It's because of what happened during the Biden administration that we're going to end.
00:01:34.340
I'm going to let Senator Wyden respond briefly to that.
00:01:37.400
And then we're not going to go over like we just did.
00:01:42.900
Senator Wyden showing himself once again to be a fool and a tool of the Marxist left.
00:01:51.740
Speaking of RFK Jr., over a thousand current and former Health and Human Services employees
00:01:57.120
signed on to a letter calling for RFK Jr. to resign as HHS director.
00:02:02.380
For the first time in decades, we have an HHS director who puts the people before Big Pharma,
00:02:12.960
The disgruntled employees posted their petition on a page they've created titled, quote, Save HHS.
00:02:19.600
If they were honest people, they would have called it Save Big Pharma.
00:02:23.740
These people are wicked partisans who want to load up children with COVID vaccines despite its well-documented dangers.
00:02:35.600
and the Marxist Dems just can't seem to get their head around it
00:02:39.560
because it messes with their Big Pharma money, of course.
00:02:43.620
Hearing people sign on to a letter just makes me think back
00:02:46.240
to a certain group of 50 people who signed on to a letter,
00:02:53.520
the Hunter Biden laptop, Russian disinformation.
00:02:58.160
That's what comes to my mind when I hear of a petition being circulated by the Marxist left.
00:03:03.580
The Justice Department announcing this afternoon that Lisa Cook,
00:03:07.380
the Board of Governors over at the Federal Reserve,
00:03:09.960
has officially come under a criminal investigation probing allegations of mortgage fraud.
00:03:16.160
the Justice Department's weaponization czar is coordinating the investigation.
00:03:20.100
Subpoenas have already been issued to determine
00:03:21.880
whether she fraudulently obtained personal loans or property loans.
00:03:26.340
Lisa Cook allegedly committed occupancy fraud and perhaps tax fraud
00:03:31.840
According to Federal Housing Director Bill Pulte,
00:03:37.020
Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by lying on her mortgage application
00:03:41.520
when she designated her out-of-state Atlanta condo
00:03:51.020
which she also claimed is her primary residence.
00:03:53.580
The investigation centers on Atlanta and the Michigan properties.
00:03:58.140
Lisa Cook seems like she's in a little bit of trouble,
00:04:00.920
just like Adam Schiff and the rest of the fellas.
00:04:05.660
alleging anti-competitive behavior in right-leaning TV markets.
00:04:10.740
Just can't be understated how dominant Fox News is when it comes to cable news.
00:04:15.480
Their biggest competitors are ostensibly MSNBC and CNN.
00:04:19.820
Nobody is really able to touch Fox News as it comes to ratings.
00:04:24.360
According to the lawsuit that was filed this afternoon in Southern Florida,
00:04:27.960
it accused Fox News of using its immense status in its space
00:04:31.740
of acting as a monopoly and suppressing its conservative competitors.
00:04:37.080
Fox has sought to protect and expand its monopoly power
00:04:45.700
according to the Newsmax attorney who filed the suit.
00:04:49.640
Fox's longstanding and ongoing practices have harmed
00:04:52.200
and will be harmful to competition to consumers in the United States,
00:04:59.100
those anti-competitive behaviors include allegations
00:05:02.000
such as cable distributors not carrying other conservative outlets
00:05:16.240
in his pursuit against a Democrat-run Fox News.
