This is Lou Dobbs with The Great America Show, midday update for Monday, December 4th.

Russia's war of attrition against Ukraine is weighing heavily on the besieged country,
00:00:11.860
President Zelensky as well, and President Biden's demand on Congress for billions of dollars more
00:00:17.200
for Ukraine is not, at least at this point, moving House members to actually provide any more money.
00:00:26.780
Sanctions? Daily Mail reporting the net worth of Russia's richest oligarchs has soared by $30 billion
00:00:34.120
despite those sanctions. Biden's policies, in fact, are making Putin and his oligarch pals richer
00:00:41.780
and likely will lead to Ukraine's decline. Congress is trying to work out a compromise with the same
00:00:49.000
Department of Justice, FBI, and intel agencies who've been spying on them by requiring a judge's
00:00:55.800
warrant to spy on American citizens whenever they want. The problem is those agencies can
00:01:01.800
get a warrant from a judge or lie about getting a warrant from a judge and not be held accountable.
00:01:08.560
This, unfortunately, is not reform, no matter how well-intentioned. It turns out to be just complicity.
00:01:16.520

Americans' rights of privacy and to prevent those agencies from actually running the federal
00:01:33.500
government. Don't miss our conversation today. It's eye-opening. Devin's ideas on reform could be
00:01:40.380
nation-saving. Please join us. This is Lou Dobbs with a Great America Midday Update. Have a great day.
