| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show Midday Update for Monday, September 8th. |
| 0:04.9 | It was a bad day for the Marxist Dems and it was a great day for the rule of law. The Supreme Court |
| 0:09.6 | earlier this afternoon smacking down a Biden-appointed judge and allowing the Trump administration to |
| 0:14.5 | resume their sweeping immigration raids. Three liberal justices, Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor |
| 0:20.5 | dissenting. Sotomayor fuming in her dissenting opinion, |
| 0:23.9 | quote, we should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, |
| 0:29.0 | speak Spanish, and appears to work a low-wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our Constitution |
| 0:35.0 | freedoms are lost, I dissent. Imagine that. This ruling today from |

| 1:17.1 | for President Trump today, a federal appeals court on Monday dismissed a lawsuit followed by the |
| 1:21.2 | Democrat state attorney generals, challenging the mass firing of probationary workers. |
| 1:26.7 | The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and a two to one |
| 1:28.6 | decision said that the 19 blue states did not have the legal standing to sue the Trump administration over these mass |
| 1:34.7 | firings. President Trump previously fired tens of thousands of probationary workers as he worked to downsize |
| 1:40.8 | the federal government and cut waste. Earlier this year, a federal judge ordered that President Trump |
