Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawson with this Great America Show Midday Update for Friday, November 21st.

0:04.5

Happy Friday, folks. I hope you all had a great week and you're ready for the weekend.

0:08.1

Hakeem Jeffries just can't seem to stop making a fool of himself and he can't stay away from

0:13.0

those TV cameras. And boy, we want him to keep going because he makes a fool of himself,

Take a listen to this exchange.

1:31.0

To satiate, if you want to get done, you are going to need at least some Republicans to come over.
