00:00:00.000 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.
00:01:01.320 Take a listen.
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.
00:01:17.040 And you said nothing.
00:01:18.620 You never asked the question why it's happening.
00:01:20.700 Why is this happening?
00:01:21.760 Today, for the first time in 20 years, we've learned that infant mortality has increased in our country.
00:01:29.320 It's not because I came in here.
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.
00:01:40.980 This committee on a bipartisan basis.
00:01:42.900 Senator Wyden showing himself once again to be a fool and a tool of the Marxist left.
00:01:49.320 I mean, a bunch of fools.
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,
00:02:08.660 and these grunts want him gone.
00:02:11.140 And at least they've identified themselves.
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.
00:02:30.280 They really are not good people.
00:02:32.920 RFK Jr. is doing an absolutely terrific job,
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,
00:02:51.240 you know, during the last election,
00:02:53.520 the Hunter Biden laptop, Russian disinformation.
00:02:56.420 You folks all remember that, right?
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,

00:03:46.720 Now, just two weeks after taking the loan
00:03:48.500 on her Ann Arbor, Michigan home,
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, 0.94

00:04:59.100 those anti-competitive behaviors include allegations
