The Great America Show - Mid-Day Update： DeSantis Attacks MAGA

00:00:00.000 I'm Lou Dobbs with this Great America Show midday update. Governor Ron DeSantis goes after MAGA.

00:00:06.680 Governor Ron DeSantis with a Hillary Clinton deplorable moment. The 2024 hopeful is a confused

00:00:13.160 candidate and he proved it by insulting President Trump's MAGA base over the weekend. Here's the

00:00:19.100 governor. I think that we have a strand in our party that views supporting Trump as whether you

00:00:27.600 are a rhino or not. And so you could be the most conservative person since sliced bread.

00:00:33.880 Unless you're kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a rhino. So it's been totally

00:00:39.020 detached from principle and what you actually believe and results. And it's more about just

00:00:45.520 what faction you happen to do. So there'll be people who are huge Trump supporters like in Congress

00:00:51.140 who have like incredibly liberal left wing records that that's really just atrocious.

00:00:55.780 And yet they're viewed as by some of these folks as like as like really, really good.

00:01:00.820 Then you have other people, you know, like a Congressman Chip Roy, who's endorsed me,

00:01:05.380 Congressman Thomas Massey. These guys have records of principle fighting the swamp that are second to

00:01:11.480 none. And yet they will be attacked by some of these people and called rhinos. So it's just been

00:01:17.840 totally detached from any type of substance. And ultimately, a movement can't be about the

00:01:23.400 personality of one individual. The movement has got to be about what are you trying to achieve

00:01:28.780 on behalf of the American people? And that's got to be based in principle, because if you're not

00:01:34.180 rooted in principle, if all we are is listless vessels that just supposed to follow, you know,

00:01:39.800 whatever happens to come down the pike on truth social every morning, that's not going to be a 0.83

00:01:44.500 durable movement. Hunter Biden's special counsel, David Weiss, has close ties to the Biden family.

00:01:51.460 The Washington Post reporting today that between 2007 and 2010, David Weiss was acting U.S. attorney

00:01:58.940 for Delaware and that he worked hand in glove with Hunter Biden's older brother, Beau Biden. The Post

00:02:06.300 reporting says during that period, Weiss likely ran into Joe Biden many times. Beau Biden at the time was

00:02:13.300 the attorney general for the state of Delaware. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says

00:02:19.140 he's facing severe obstruction in his Hunter Biden investigation. Comer said over the weekend that as

00:02:26.480 the investigation progresses, so does the obstruction from the FBI, the Secret Service, IRS, and the

00:02:33.480 Marxist Dems in the House. We know talking to the banks that they're under considerable pressure

00:02:39.460 not to cooperate with us. I've been saying for months, Maria, that we are facing obstruction

00:02:44.380 like has never been demonstrated in the history of congressional investigations. Not only are we

00:02:50.360 being obstructed by the Biden legal team, we're being obstructed by the Department of Justice. We're

00:02:55.300 being obstructed by the FBI, by the Secret Service, by the IRS, by the Democrats on the House Oversight

00:03:00.840 Committee. And the next question is, will we be obstructed by the new special counsel, David Weiss?

00:03:05.540 Join us today for The Great America Show. Our guest is just the news, John Solomon. John says former

00:03:11.640 Attorney General Bill Barr should be brought before Congress to answer serious questions

00:03:16.860 about his treatment of the Hunter Biden case. Bill Barr made a decision that Hunter Biden's sins were

00:03:23.280 somehow couldn't be prosecuted in the window for election. But those were not charges involving Joe

00:03:31.740 Biden. There was nothing that prevented the American people from understanding that Hunter Biden did

00:03:37.660 something wrong and it wasn't meddling against Joe Biden to acknowledge it. Right. For some reason,

00:03:41.980 he created the election window and he wasn't he was also inconsistent. You and I have talked about

00:03:46.820 this. He said, I didn't want to meddle in the election. That's why we kept everything secret about

00:03:50.180 Hunter Biden, except he put out documents about Joe Biden in September of 2020. Joe Biden attended the

00:03:56.700 famous Barack Obama January 5th, 2016 meeting to go get Mike Flynn. Well, wait, that affected Joe Biden.

00:04:02.680 Why were you willing to acknowledge that but not Hunter Biden? There's an inconsistency in the behavior

00:04:07.540 of Bill Barr by his own standards that he's never answered and why he went to Delaware when the tax

00:04:15.220 crimes at the time that were alleged occurred in Washington, D.C. in California, because that's where

00:04:20.940 Hunter Biden was residing at the time, are all mystifying to people. And I don't think I think

00:04:26.260 at some point there'd be a value in House Republicans calling him before Congress and saying you did this

00:04:31.560 and this and this. Why? Why did you appoint a Delaware U.S. attorney when the crimes you had before

00:04:36.240 you were in Virginia and in Washington and California? Why didn't you give him special counsel status to

00:04:43.060 overcome that? The media interviews that have been done with Bill Barr haven't asked, I think,

00:04:47.720 the probative questions that would get the right answers. So maybe Congress should do it. I want

00:04:52.440 to give Bill Barr the benefit. I'd like to know these answers. He hasn't been willing to do an

00:04:56.000 interview with me, but I'd sure love to do one with him. Join us today for our interview with John

00:05:00.520 Solomon on The Great America Show. Join us each and every weekday. I'm Lou Dobbs with this Great America
