Hello everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show Midday Update for Wednesday, May 28th.

0:05.6

President Trump renewing his fight to make Canada the 51st State of America.

0:10.7

This time he's bringing gifts to the table. He's got a hell of a deal that Canada might not be able to refuse.

0:16.8

President Trump posting on truth social just hours ago, quote, I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome system,

0:25.2

that it will cost $61 billion if they remain a separate but unequal nation,

0:30.1

but will cause $0 if they become our cherished 51st state.

0:34.3

They are considering the offer.

0:36.8

So now we wait and see. Uh, sometimes I question

0:40.0

if President Trump's being facetious or if he's being serious. If he's being serious, this might

0:44.8

be a deal that Canada just simply can't refuse. And CNN, very troubled CNN, as if the

0:51.8

problems couldn't get any worse for them. Its weekly average

0:55.2

viewership has collapsed to just $405,000 during the week of May 12th. Over the course of the

1:02.0

total day, CNN's average viewership sank to a humiliating 341,000 views. It's all important, 25 to 54 age demo that sets advertising rates. CNN attracted

1:14.2

an average of only 74,000 viewers during prime time and a pathetic 58,000 over the total day.

1:22.3

Compared to the same week last year, CNN has lost 16% of its primetime viewers and 28% of its total day viewers.

1:30.3

Can anybody figure out why nobody's tuning into CNN anymore?

1:34.3

I can't seem to figure it out.

1:36.3

And the US Navy today announcing they will terminate all testing on cats and dogs.

1:40.3

The question I have is why were they using cats and dogs in the first place? Take a listen to the Secretary of Navy John Fieland today.

1:47.0

Today it gives me great pleasure to terminate all Department of the Navy's testing on cats and dogs,

1:53.0

saving taxpayer dollars and ending these inhumane studies. This is long overdue.

1:58.0

In addition to this termination, I'm directing the Surgeon General of the Navy to conduct a comprehensive review of all medical research programs to ensure they align with ethical guidelines, scientific necessity, and our core values of integrity and readiness.
