00:00:00.000 I'm Lou Dobbs with the Great America Show Midday Update, House Speaker Rhino Kevin McCarthy
00:00:05.420 lurching from one self-inflicted mess to another, this time going after the Republican Party's
00:00:12.100 presumptive presidential nominee and McCarthy's benefactor.
00:00:16.840 Speaker McCarthy on CNBC yesterday, where he waxed cute and talked big, declared Donald
00:00:23.220 Trump may not be the strongest candidate, despite polling more than 30 points higher
00:00:28.500 than the next closest candidate in the field.
00:00:31.640 Here's McCarthy insulting the former president who helped make him speaker.
00:00:37.120 So Trump's been indicted.
00:00:39.540 His poll numbers are going up.
00:00:41.280 So primary voters like him.
00:00:44.160 If he wins the primary, do you think he can win the general?
00:00:47.060 And is it good for the Republican Party if Donald Trump is the nominee?
00:00:51.520 And then I want to get to Biden and his malarkey defense and all that stuff.
00:00:55.560 Can Trump beat Biden?
00:00:56.640 Yeah, he can beat Biden.
00:00:57.520 Is that a good thing for the Republican Party if Donald Trump is the...
00:01:00.680 The Republicans get to select their nominee.
00:01:02.860 I think if you want to go sheer policy to policy, it's not good for Republicans.
00:01:06.560 It's good for America. 0.74
00:01:07.820 Trump's policies are better, straightforward than Biden's policies.
00:01:11.160 It makes it complicated if he's got all these trials and all this stuff overhanging.
00:01:17.360 It makes it complicated.
00:01:18.520 It also helps him when...
00:01:19.880 But do you think he could win an election?
00:01:21.660 Could he win an election?
00:01:22.640 Can he win that election?
00:01:23.580 Yeah, he can.
00:01:24.000 You think he can?
00:01:24.520 The question is, is he the strongest to win the election?
00:01:27.360 I don't know that answer.
00:01:28.600 But can somebody...
00:01:29.740 Can anybody beat Biden?
00:01:30.840 Yeah, anybody can beat Biden.
00:01:32.000 Can Biden beat other people?
00:01:33.540 Yes, Biden can beat him.
00:01:34.820 McCarthy has since called President Trump to apologize for what he called misspeaking and
00:01:40.500 blame the reporter for taking comments out of context.
00:01:44.160 As you heard, McCarthy was definitely talking in context and meant what he said.
00:01:50.600 He's a rhino, after all. 0.88
00:01:52.400 He's unprincipled and not very clever. 0.89
00:01:54.900 But he is Speaker of the House.
00:01:57.520 And House impeachment of Attorney General Merrick Garland is said to begin July 6.
00:02:03.540 The House Speaker announced they will begin impeachment proceedings next week.
00:02:07.980 But with McCarthy, you never quite know.
00:02:10.360 We'll see whether he can get this right, but House records show Merrick Garland isn't scheduled
00:02:16.340 to testify before the House Judiciary Committee until September 20th, almost three months from
00:02:22.420 today.
00:02:23.660 McCarthy confused?
00:02:25.240 Perhaps.
00:02:26.400 Today's episode of The Great America Show with Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville.
00:02:31.140 He's trying to wake up the leadership of the U.S. military.
00:02:34.620 The senator taking on the woke Pentagon and single-handedly trying to force the general
00:02:40.660 staffs to start acting like they're running a fighting machine instead of a book club.
00:02:46.360 Tuberville stopping all military promotions for admirals and generals, no one else, just
00:02:51.860 admirals and generals, until the military focuses on fighting instead of fabulous.
00:02:58.080 Join us today for The Great America Show and each and every weekday.
00:03:02.300 This is Lou Dobbs with The Great America Show Midday Update.
