00:00:00.000Hello, everybody. I'm John Foss with this Great America Show midday update for Thursday, September 24th.
00:00:05.160Happy Thursday, folks. I hope your days are all going well.
00:00:08.440Well, some unfortunate news, I guess you can say, out of Washington, D.C. this afternoon.
00:00:15.200CNN, Politico and MSNOW reporters have regained their access to the White House.
00:00:19.540According to a court filing, the White House operations were notified at 710 a.m. to restore access to the reporters.
00:00:24.940The Secret Service then began processing the delivering of the badges to the affected reporters
00:00:30.260President Trump and the administration continues to block White House access to CNN, Politico, and MSNOW
00:00:35.120Despite this judge's temporary restraining order
00:00:37.540Judge Timothy J. Kelly ordered President Trump and the administration
00:00:42.240To restore their access to the journalists of the failing news networks
00:00:45.900Ruling that President Trump's ban on the outlets was likely unconstitutional
00:00:49.780Kelly, who's a Trump appointee, issued a temporary restraining order
00:00:53.020Of course, in the early hours of Thursday morning, while everyone was sleeping, the outlets only had to post a laughable $1 bond.
00:01:01.820I wonder if January 6th was treated the way these people were treated.
00:01:05.720The order directs administration officials, excluding President Trump personally and those acting with them, to return to reinstate their effective passes.
00:01:13.520The order covered credentials revoked. That was on about September 18th.
00:01:17.240Now, something very interesting about this judge, who, like I said, is a Trump appointee,
00:01:21.600he happens to be the same appointee for 2017, the same judge,
00:01:26.800who forced the White House to give CNN's Jim Acosta back his pass in 2018,
00:01:31.940signed a temporary restraining order in the early hours of the night then as well.
00:01:35.900So, sort of interesting, Trump appointee, and this man doesn't seem to get it.
00:01:43.080These judges in Washington, D.C. have gone rogue, and it's what it is.
00:01:48.580Speaking of going rogue, four GOP senators have joined with the Marxist Dems to vote for a war powers resolution to restrict President Trump and his actions in Iran.
00:01:58.020Those four GOP senators, Tom Tillis, I'm sure you could guess the rest, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Rand Paul,0.58
00:02:04.440joining with the Democrats to vote to restrict President Trump and his war powers.
00:02:07.820Senator John Fetterman voted with the Republicans.
00:02:12.280The House passed a resolution earlier this month with seven Republican defectors.
00:02:17.480I don't know why they keep doing this.
00:02:19.380They're just embarrassing themselves.0.60
00:02:21.160Now, Scott Bessent was on Fox News just moments after they decided to pass this and said with Operation Economic Outcast, which is this operation they're running right now to squeeze Iran, they're squeezing Iran like they've never seen before.
00:02:35.700Take a listen to Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary.0.94
00:02:38.320We are squeezing the Iranians like they've never seen today.1.00
00:02:42.280i would say that the external flights from iran probably more than 80 or 90 percent of them got
00:02:49.080shut down i'm not sure how the iranian representatives at the u.n are going to get
00:02:54.220home so we have made it very clear around the world whether it's the financiers the people
00:03:00.740who are doing business the people who are supplying the iranians we know who you are
00:03:04.420you know who you are and we are going to prosecute and execute your your companies and your bank
00:03:10.960accounts every day and every week. Iran is fast, running out of ways to fuel their aircraft and0.98
00:03:16.020fuel their boats that they're using to terrorize America. They're going to be forced to decision0.99
00:03:21.460here, and oil hasn't exactly been flowing through the Strait of Hormuz as we've seen it flow in the
00:03:26.260past. So Iran's going to, like I said, have to make a serious decision here over the course of
00:03:32.720the next few weeks on whether they want to exist or they don't want to exist. Now, some interesting0.99
00:03:39.960news paramount is reportedly weighing elon musk as an investor in warner brothers deal that would
00:03:45.680put cnn and cbs under one roof speak about unlikely events according to bombshell report
00:03:52.600from semaphore paramount skydance ceo david ellison is actively considering tapping tech
00:03:57.340visionaries and wealthy investors including free speech champion elon musk to build a powerhouse
00:04:02.420investor syndicate for paramount's massive takeover merger with warner brothers discovery
00:04:07.960Now, if completed, this game-changing deal would bring both CBS and the ultra-Marxist left propaganda out at CNN
00:04:14.680under the same corporate umbrella, with Musk holding significant backing and ownership stakes.
00:04:21.120Larry Ellison, who's David's father and the Oracle billionaire,
00:04:23.960personally guaranteed more than $40 billion of the equity financing of the deal.
00:04:28.380It's a long relationship with Elon Musk.
00:04:30.280Ellison put a billion bucks into Musk's 2022 takeover of Twitter, now X,
00:04:35.120also invested heavily into Tesla and served on its board.
00:04:39.940So things are going to get interesting, I think, in the far-left Marxist-run media
00:04:45.260as Elon Musk is mulling a very big deal here.
00:04:49.540It'll give him significant power to start calling some shots
00:04:52.660for these rogue, rogue, rogue news agencies.
