00:00:00.000 I'm Lou Dobbs with this Great America Show midday update. President Biden finally visits Hawaii
00:00:06.580 two weeks after the wildfires. The puppet president visited the devastated island of
00:00:12.680 Maui yesterday and as he almost always does, he made himself the story even in the midst of such
00:00:19.960 a tragedy as Maui's wildfires. He compared the Maui wildfires to a small electric fire in his
00:00:28.840 kitchen 15 years ago. The man is simply out of his mind. Here he is. I don't want to compare
00:00:37.780 difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, what it's like to lose a home. Years ago,
00:00:45.080 now 15 years ago, I was in Washington doing Meet the Press. It was a sunny Sunday and lightning struck
00:00:54.020 at home on a little lake that's outside of our home, not a lake, a big pond, and hit a wire and
00:01:02.520 came up underneath our home into the heating ducts, the air conditioning duct. To make a long story
00:01:09.480 short, I almost lost my wife, my 67 Corvette, and my cat. What an utter insult to the people of
00:01:20.680 Hawaii. The death count sits at 114, hundreds more still missing, and President Biden shows up. Hawaii,
00:01:28.820 we're sorry. The House GOP subpoenas FBI and IRS officials over the Hunter Biden case.
00:01:36.180 Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith subpoenaed four
00:01:42.220 FBI and IRS officials looking for information about a meeting they had with Special Counsel David Weiss.
00:01:50.000 That meeting in question is an October 7th meeting last year in which David Weiss claimed he didn't
00:01:57.120 have final authority on charging Hunter Biden. The disconnect is that Attorney General Merrick Garland
00:02:03.840 told us on a June 23rd press conference that Weiss did have the authority to bring charges against
00:02:10.780 Hunter Biden. We hope to soon find out who the liar is, Weiss or Garland. Now that's a pair to draw to.
00:02:18.560 There is really no winner in that fact check. Both men are repugnant and clearly corrupt.
00:02:24.640 Fox News bans Trump surrogates from the debate spin room. Oh, say it isn't so. Fox News has reportedly
00:02:32.440 told President Trump's surrogates they won't be allowed to access tomorrow's post-debate spin room.
00:02:38.800 The spin room is where debaters head after the debate to talk to the press along with their
00:02:44.340 surrogates. The move by Fox News comes as no surprise. The media giant looking to do all they
00:02:50.200 can to protect Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and derail Donald Trump. DeSantis finds himself in big
00:02:58.200 trouble in the polls. Please join us today on The Great America Show. Our guest is climatologist and
00:03:04.240 author Dr. Judith Curry, who says Joe Biden thinks he can control the climate by getting rid of CO2
00:03:11.100 emissions and the climate changers just simply aren't paying attention to the facts. There is
00:03:17.020 absolutely no evidence, she says, that extreme weather events are worse today than they were back in the
00:03:23.980 1930s. Here she is.
00:03:25.820 Joe Biden thinks that he can control the climate by getting rid of CO2 emissions. I mean, and he can't. I mean,
00:03:35.900 nobody can. He's just that there's so much mischaracterization of what the actual risk is, you know, from
00:03:44.920 warming. And it's certainly not extreme weather events. There's no evidence that those are worse. They were
00:03:51.260 actually in the U.S. They were actually worse in the 1930s. I mean, what we're getting from this low
00:03:57.760 creep of warming is a small amount of sea level rise and some melting of glaciers. I mean, these are
00:04:04.060 very, you know, slow happening kind of processes. But, you know, this hype of extreme weather events
00:04:14.060 as being caused by burning of fossil fuels is just ludicrous. And even the U.N.
00:04:23.000 scientific assessment reports on climate admit that there's no particular relationship between these
00:04:30.160 extreme weather events and the fossil-fueled warming. So it's just stupidity all around.
00:04:37.920 Please join us today for my full discussion with Dr. Judith Curry on the climate change hoax.
00:04:43.120 I'm Lou Dobbs with this Great America Midday Update.
