| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. I'm John Fawson with this Great America show Midday Update for Thursday, |
| 0:03.8 | September 18th. It feels like Friday, folks. The great news we got just last night, |
| 0:09.0 | Jimmy Kimmel's show yanked off the airways following his despicable lies about the assassination |
| 0:14.7 | of Charlie Kirk and of Maga, which he's been doing for quite some time. In a delicious |

| 1:21.2 | It's only right, I think, right? |
| 1:23.0 | Karma is a great thing. |
| 1:25.3 | Four weak need Republicans siding with the Marxist Dems to kill an effort to censure radical |
| 1:31.2 | Marxist-Leftist Ilhan Omar. |
| 1:33.9 | Last night, Congresswoman Nancy Mace's effort to censor Ilhan Omar for her vile celebration |
