| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. I'm John Fawson with this Great America Show Midday Update for Monday, June 1st. |
| 0:05.1 | Happy Monday, folks, and happy June. A federal judge this week declining to block President |
| 0:09.9 | Trump's executive order targeting mail-in ballots, delivering yet another blow to the Marxist |
| 0:14.6 | Dems, who claimed the order could disenfranchise millions of voters. The executive order signed |
| 0:19.8 | March 31st, direct to the Department of Homeland Security, |
