| Yeah, the jury is expected to continue its deliberations at 9 a.m. this morning after no verdict was reached yesterday. | ||
| Now, the first son did not testify in his own defense, despite earlier indications from his attorney that he might. | ||
| He was joined by more than a dozen family members as the defense and prosecution presented their closing arguments. | ||
| Before deliberations began, the prosecution presented an alleged text message exchange sent by Hunter to a since-convicted drug dealer and a potential blow to the defense. | ||
| The text sent on October 11th. | ||
| It's unclear if Hunter ever met up with that drug dealer, but Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz says the evidence against Hunter is clear. | ||

The best thing that could possibly happen to Donald Trump is if Hunter Biden gets acquitted. | |
| Because the evidence against Hunter Biden is so much, so much more compelling. | ||
| The legal issue is so much more compelling than anything against Donald Trump. | ||
| And it will prove beyond any doubt that this is all about where the trial was conducted. | ||
| That if you're Trump and you're tried in New York, it's automatic guilt. | ||
| And if you're Biden and you're tried in... | ||
| Delaware, it's a different verdict. | ||
| So the best thing that could possibly happen to Donald Trump is the acquittal of Biden based on all this evidence. | ||
| The new report claims taxpayers could be on the hook for as much as $345,000 to cover First Lady Jill Biden's 3,600-mile round-trip flight to Hunter's trial from France to Delaware last week while the president was overseas. | ||
| The report also saying it costs nearly $1,400 per hour to operate the First Lady's government plane. | ||
| Jill Biden has only missed one day of that trial. | ||

|
I got this video queued up from the cloud. | |
| I've not had an opportunity to watch this yet. | ||
| So, as you can see here, my client showed up for work on the day of the incident. | ||
| And this is... | ||
| Just a second. | ||
| I want to see it. | ||
| The video is not... | ||
| Show it to me. | ||
| Is this what the jury just saw? | ||
| So again, we only saw like five or six seconds worth of video, but it was crazy. | ||
| It's like the defendant is getting hosed. | ||
| He's showing very clear frustration. | ||
| He's banging his hands on the table when his attorney can't present a simple video. | ||
| It's a hot mess. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, the jury has reached a verdict in the Hunter Biden trial. | ||
| We are ready for it. | ||
| The jury has reached a verdict. | ||
| We weren't planning on this, of course. | ||
| Sometimes you just get it right. | ||
| This is the time of our show. | ||
| And while the cold open is playing, the jury reaches a verdict. | ||
| And so we will cover it live here. | ||
| And we will have responses live here. | ||
| ALX and Robbie. | ||
| I want Mike Davis. | ||
| I want Tolman. | ||
| I want a bunch, every single legal expert that we can possibly get. | ||
| I want stacked on the show. | ||
| Do you hear me? | ||
| I want confirmation on that. | ||
| If we are going to be live for the verdict, which we will be, which it has been reached and it will be read, I want every, I want to get legal experts stacked on the show. | ||
| Sometimes you can't predict these things. | ||
| Can't predict these things. | ||
| We're doing it live. | ||
| In case you wonder if the show's live, in case you wonder if we pre-record like virtually everybody else in this industry, nope, we don't. | ||
| We are live right now. | ||
| We will get a live feed up of the verdict. | ||
| We are working on getting a live feed up of outside of the courthouse and we'll be able to show you exactly what's going on there. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Sorry for the sort of like diving in here. | ||
| Normally I'd like to warm up the room, but no. | ||
| As soon as the stinger hit, as soon as the stinger hit and the logo and everything, boom! | ||
| Verdict reach. | ||
| So it's my obligation to you to give you the breaking news immediately. | ||
| We may have 20 to 30 minutes before that verdict is actually given to the courthouse. | ||
| They need to bring in the families and so forth. | ||
| But let's get the live feed up, okay? | ||
| Let's rock and roll. | ||
| We'll let you guys know that we have the live feed of the courthouse and outside of the courthouse. | ||
| Just like with the Trump trial, I would have given anything for having a video access point inside of the courthouse. | ||
| But unfortunately, same thing. | ||
| We do not have access inside of the court. | ||
| There are no cameras allowed inside of the court. | ||
| And so here is our video. | ||
| Let's put it up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's go. | |
| Let's go. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we want to show you. | ||
| We have multiple live shots outside of the courthouse. | ||
| And we're going to stack the show with legal experts the best that we can. | ||
| Klein, what is this? | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Yeah, this is not the way that we display these feeds. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alright, off. | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, again, we are set and we are live and we are ready to go. | ||
| And we're watching now people entering the courthouse. | ||
| They have created a verdict now in this trial. | ||
| We have often and regularly told you that we expect that this verdict will be either a hung jury or will acquit Hunter Biden. | ||
| Why do we say that? | ||
| We're not doomers. | ||
| We're not trying. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we're not trying to try and put a wet blanket on all this. | ||
| We're glass half full consummate optimists on this program. | ||
| But unfortunately, the realities are that inside of Wilmington, Delaware, where the jury pool is all pulled from, where these crimes were committed, it is like a little fiefdom for the Bidens. | ||
| It is like a... | ||
| Like a tinpot dictatorship for the Bidens, where the Bidens have been the preeminent political authority and the gift givers of offices and properties and grants and favors and political retribution for so long. | ||
| That we think that this jury pool is doomed. | ||
| We think they are doomed, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| But we don't know. | ||
| This was a very quick... | ||
| This was a very quick... | ||
| I mean, they haven't even been out... | ||
| They haven't even been deliberating for 24 hours. | ||
| This was really quick. | ||
| Hunter Biden is not at the courthouse, according to our most recent updates. | ||
| So, ladies and gentlemen, again, we have the live feeds up at the courthouse. | ||
| When anything occurs, we are live. | ||
| When anything occurs, apparently this was only a three-hour deliberation. | ||
| I only said 24 hours because they did begin deliberation yesterday morning. | ||
| But apparently the actual stop clock, they don't deliberate throughout the evening, the actual stop clock on the deliberations were only three hours. | ||
| So what does that tell you? | ||
| I mean, listen. | ||
| Again, I am a consummate, glass-half-full, silver-lining optimist. | ||
| I have to tell you, if they've reached a conclusion, there's something in me that says if they reach a conclusion this quickly, then maybe they did find him guilty. | ||
| A quick jury return is often an indicator of a unanimous jury on something. | ||
| And so once again, everything is just pure speculation at this point. | ||
| You can see the live shots outside of the courthouse from local news stations here. | ||
| We will get you every piece of information and every bit of breaking information. | ||
| It will happen on this program. | ||
| We are also efforting every single legal expert that we know. | ||
| You can't plan these things. | ||
| You can't plan these things. | ||
| Sometimes you just hit it right. | ||
| And here we are, ladies and gentlemen, once again. | ||
| So let me know. | ||
| Let me know, producers, when we got some of our favorite legal guests on. | ||
| I have got to tell you that a quick jury did a three-hour deliberation on this question. | ||
| I would assume that is not a good deal for Hunter Biden. | ||
| The jury was pretty quick in the Trump trial. | ||
| It was a lot longer than three hours. | ||
| It was more like nine hours. | ||
| But everybody said that was really fast. | ||
| And that that would effectively point to a, you know, that was really fast. | ||
| And the pundits, legal experts, were saying, hey, listen, listen, that's a bad sign for Donald Trump, for the accused. | ||
| And we had to report that at the time. | ||
| And it turned out that that was a guilty verdict. | ||
| So what does this mean? | ||
| Does this mean that this is a bad sign for Hunter Biden? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Based on that measure, based on what we know about this, yes, it means it's a bad sign for Hunter Biden if the jury is so quick. | ||
| Well, it definitely doesn't mean a hung jury because there's absolutely no way if the jury has reached a verdict that it's a hung jury, right? | ||
| So many were assuming that this would mean a hung jury. | ||
| So you have the one lady whose aunt got a job at the DMV because of Joe Biden, right? | ||
| And she refuses to convict. | ||
| She refuses! | ||
| So she fights tooth and nail, the rest of the jurors, all the way through to the end of the week, and they come back and they say, you know what? | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| We can't come to a decision. | ||
| That's called a hung jury. | ||
| If the verdict has been reached, that means it's not that. | ||
| Every expert was saying it would be that, including this program. | ||
| Again, we assume that that would be the tactic here. | ||
| And the tactic of the Biden family, which is a mafia family, has been to travel to the court and to intimidate the jurors. | ||
| To stand there as little phalanx and stare down at Jill Biden in her little shower curtain dresses from Bed Bath& Beyond, plastic dresses, standing there glaring. | ||
| Down at the jury and to bring forward like the intimidation of the Biden family to get one of those jurors, right? | ||
| Whose auntie got a job at the DMV to get one of those jurors effectively to give you a hung jury. | ||
| But that didn't happen here. | ||
| The jury has either decided that Hunter Biden is guilty or has decided that Hunter Biden is innocent of these charges. | ||
| In these gun charges. | ||
| Now, the preponderance of evidence that has been presented about Hunter Biden has been remarkable and jaw-dropping, to say the least. | ||
| I mean, we found out a lot. | ||
| I deign to say that anybody has covered Hunter Biden more than this program. | ||
| There are many great people in this space, but few have covered Hunter Biden more. | ||
| We've done hours with Kash Patel. | ||
| Hours with some of the investigators of the Hunter Biden laptop, Miranda Devine, Julie Kelly, and brought forward as much information as we possibly can. | ||
| And we were shocked at some of the revelations inside of this trial. | ||
| And as we await the jury to return, we do have footage of Hunter Biden walking into the courthouse. | ||
| So, ladies and gentlemen, this from moments ago. | ||
| Hunter Biden walking into the courthouse. | ||
| Looks like this happened. | ||
| Looks like this happened moments ago while we were getting our live shot up. | ||
| Here is Hunter Biden entering the courthouse. | ||
| Andrew, a little bit less than a day if you add up all the hours. | ||
| Oh, he's guilty. | ||
| Guilty. | ||
| Guilty. | ||
| They found Hunter Biden guilty. | ||
| I cannot believe this. | ||
| I cannot believe this. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, they have found Hunter Biden guilty. | ||
| This is live. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| I got my producer in my ear, literally. | ||
| This is live. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| We're here with you. | ||
| They have found Hunter Biden guilty. | ||
| I cannot believe it. | ||
| Guilty on all counts. | ||
| I cannot believe it. | ||
| I am gobsmacked. | ||
| I stand before you totally and completely humbled based on my predictions of all that I know about Delaware, the Biden family, the crime family, their intimidation tactics, Joe Biden being there every single day at the courthouse, the muscle that they've used to intimidate this jury pool. | ||
| I stand humbled and Totally corrected. | ||
| It's good for a man to say it. | ||
| It's good for a man to say it. | ||
| I cannot believe it. | ||
| Guilty on all counts. | ||
| Hunter Biden, guilty on all counts. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Get me the content. | ||
| Team, I want all hands on deck. | ||
| This will be your number one access point for every bit of information today. | ||
| We are ready to rock and ready to roll. | ||
| On this. | ||
| Hunter Biden guilty. | ||
| The chat is flying right now. | ||
| Robbie, I want chats up on screen. | ||
| Now. | ||
| Chats up on screen. | ||
| Leave your comments. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, leave your comments. | ||
| Leave your comments. | ||
| And I want likes on the video. | ||
| One like equals one FJB. | ||
| This from my friend Tim Pool. | ||
| One like on this video equals one FJB. | ||
| If you believe FJB, then I want likes on this video. | ||
| I cannot believe it. | ||
| Put it up on screen now. | ||
| I cannot believe it. | ||
| I cannot believe it. | ||
| Guilty on all charges. | ||
| Guilty on all charges. | ||
| Again, we have changed the title of the video. | ||
| Full disclosure, we've changed the title of the video. | ||
| Your comments are actually on screen right now. | ||
| Leave them. | ||
| Let them roll. | ||
| We'll put them up. | ||
| Be part of the conversation. | ||
| Jump in the chat. | ||
| The chat is flying right now. | ||
| Guilty on all counts. | ||
| Guilty on all charges. | ||
| Hunter Biden now facing the rest of his life in prison. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this was the easy case for them to win. | ||
| It cannot be said enough. | ||
| This was the easy case. | ||
| The federal pound you in the rear case happens a few months from now in California. | ||
| Guilty on all charges. | ||
| I just cannot believe my eyes. | ||
| It is true. | ||
| Hunter Biden now faces 25 years in prison. | ||
| We are gobsmacked. | ||
| We must allow, ladies and gentlemen, for the gravity of this moment to take hold. | ||
| What does it mean? | ||
| And I will tell you that I am speaking to you. | ||
| As a man who was not, and I've very publicly said on this program and others, that I simply expected that the jury pool would be rigged and that the Biden crime family would rig this thing. | ||
| And so I give you my unvarnished thoughts at this very moment as we load up a ton of other breaking news. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Do we have it? | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment. | ||
| Okay, before I get to that, before I get to my, like, snap takeaway on this, I want you to see the moment that it was announced. | ||
| For all time, Hunter Biden guilty on all counts. | ||
| This is the moment that it was announced. | ||
| Go. | ||
| Come right back to you. | ||
| Hunter Biden has been found guilty on all counts in his gun. | ||
| Trial, federal trial in Wilmington, Delaware. | ||
| All right, Leo, your first response. | ||
| My first response is I go back to the Harris-Faulkner-Leo Terrell segment about six months ago. | ||
| When you asked me that question, is there any way that... | ||
| Plea deal could be stopped. | ||
| I said the judge. | ||
| The judge played a major role in the rule of law by saying I'm not going to agree to this plea deal, had questions, and that's why we're here today. | ||
| The American public needs to know that. | ||
| That is the rule of law, and I applaud the judge. | ||
| She did an outstanding job in following the rule of law. | ||
| I cannot believe it. | ||
| That was Leo Terrell there, one of my favorite pundits on Fox. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we are grabbing. | ||
| We have our entire production team on right now, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We even have Jerry working on brand new memes for this. | ||
| This will be your headquarters for all breaking news on these fronts. | ||
| Hunter Biden hasn't even had these charges read to him yet. | ||
| So we have yet to have Hunter Biden in the courthouse with these charges read. | ||
| So prepare. | ||
| Prepare. | ||
| Guys, I have confirmation from my producers that we have a number of big-time legal guests that will be joining us. | ||
| A number of people who have been involved in this case will be joining our program. | ||
| We are working like animals right now to get you every piece of breaking news on this front. | ||
| Let me tell you, as somebody who has followed this case day and night, as closely as we possibly can, Been live for dozens of hours on this? | ||
| Have enumerated all of Hunter Biden's crimes on this? | ||
| Let me explain to you what my snap takeaway is on this decision and what it means for us in the coming election. | ||
| This is a sign. | ||
| It is a sign. | ||
| And it is a humbling sign for somebody like me, who again considers myself a glass half full. | ||
| Silver Linings Optimist, who would rather laugh at the news cycle than cry at the news cycle, right? | ||
| You know, you can choose one half of the face, right, at the theater. | ||
| You're laughing or you're crying. | ||
| Which one is it? | ||
| And that's the way we want to approach things in an uplifting capacity on this show. | ||
| I did not have faith that this jury would get it right. | ||
| I have had been blackpilled. | ||
| By the corruption of the Bidens and the corruption of this family and the lack of responsibility that ever befalls our ruling classes in this nation. | ||
| And you must forgive me for that. | ||
| I believed that once more, Hunter Biden, as he has ever, all the way back to being 18 years old and getting his first arrest for cocaine on the Jersey Shore. | ||
| 18-year-old Hunter Biden with a bag of cocaine, powder all up his nose, getting booked into prison. | ||
| As a young man, Joe Biden, who was a freshman senator at the time, muscled into that police station, told them to delete or shred the mugshots of his son, used his political power to jailbird, spring his kid out of jail, and you never heard of it. | ||
| There's a single record available of that arrest. | ||
| A single record. | ||
| That happened when Hunter Biden was 18. Throughout Hunter Biden's autobiography, he writes of his continued and perpetual drug use as he moved into Georgetown as a Nepo baby. | ||
| He didn't have the academics to get into Georgetown. | ||
| His senator father, who was a very young senator in the 1970s, late 70s, early 80s, his senator father used his muscle. | ||
| And his political, his intimidation to get Hunter everything in life. | ||
| He's the definition of a Nepo baby. | ||
| Hunter Biden writes in his books that it was when he was at Georgetown that he got addicted to crack. | ||
| You're talking early 20s. | ||
| Hunter Biden then blew and destroyed every single opportunity, destroyed families and marriages that he was in. | ||
| He destroyed opportunities that his father got him in the Navy by blaming black guys from Africa. | ||
| For giving him crack-laced cigarettes, I kid you not. | ||
| It's in the book. | ||
| It's in the book. | ||
| I hate that we've had to do these readings, but we've done them. | ||
| Hunter Biden was kicked out of the Navy because he had too much crack in his system. | ||
| And when asked where he got it, he blamed two Africans that gave him a cigarette laced with crack. | ||
| Because that's what happens. | ||
| Classic Biden move. | ||
| Hunter Biden drove cross-country smoking crack. | ||
| According to his words, every 15 minutes, crawled on the floor to get crack cocaine out of the carpet, smoking Parmesan cheese because he thought it was crack. | ||
| He destroyed lives and marriages and businesses along the way. | ||
| Too many to count. | ||
| A particularly horrifying exchange with Hunter Biden's ex-wife and the mother of his children when she's begging him for alimony for some money to help raise his children. | ||
| And Hunter Biden says he's broke. | ||
| At the same time, he is spending millions, not thousands, millions of dollars on his fiendish drug habit and hookers. | ||
| Hunter Biden siring children out of wedlock and refusing to claim them. | ||
| Hunter Biden getting his dead brother's widow that he banged addicted to coke and crack. | ||
| And then what happened? | ||
| Hunter Biden... | ||
| Illegally purchased a firearm. | ||
| Lied on his federal NICS form, which is the background check, the National Firearms Background Check. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Lied about his abuses. | |
| Even though there was cocaine residue on the firearm. | ||
| Even though there was cocaine residue on the actual gun itself. | ||
| Hunter Biden lied about these and then in a fit of pique and rage. | ||
| His dead brother's widow, who Hunter Biden was shacking up with and getting her addicted to crack, threw the gun in a trash can. | ||
| Hunter Biden went searching for the gun and then blamed two Mexicans on it. | ||
| Again, you can say, Benny, how dare you? | ||
| Like, say that. | ||
| Why would you make something like that up? | ||
| It's in the police report. | ||
| Hunter Biden said, look at those Mexicans. | ||
| They're probably illegal. | ||
| They're maybe the ones who stashed the gun here. | ||
| Not me. | ||
| Yeah, but sir, the gun is licensed to you and registered to you, and there's footage of you searching for the gun after your dead brother's widow threw it in the trash can. | ||
| Nothing happened. | ||
| Nothing happened to Hunter Biden. | ||
| And so, my takeaway from this is that we're going to win. | ||
| My takeaway from this is that we're going to win. | ||
| Because now, suddenly, for the first time, In history, there's a consequence to a Biden. | ||
| There's a crack in the facade, in the armor. | ||
| The armor has now failed. | ||
| Hunter Biden had the Secret Service go to the gun store in order to steal the documentation that he bought the gun. | ||
| Did you know this? | ||
| Let's put it up on screen. | ||
| ALX has the article. | ||
| Did you know that the Bidens used federal muscle to go into the gun store to try and hide and steal evidence of this? | ||
| It is well documented. | ||
| The Secret Service went marching in there to try and, again, once more, protect Hunter Biden, who belonged in prison time and time again. | ||
| The same Secret Service that stopped Hunter Biden from using credit cards. | ||
| That were his father's to buy hookers and elicit drugs and sex. | ||
| They did this at Chateau Marmont in California. | ||
| The Secret Service actually intervened to stop Hunter Biden from doing that because that would then implicate Joe Biden in the purchasing of prostitution and drugs. | ||
| Then Joe Biden would have more of a direct connection to this. | ||
| Secret Service intervened to protect the family. | ||
| Here's the Secret Service. | ||
| Legitimately showing up at the gun store to try and hide the paperwork. | ||
| To steal the evidence. | ||
| As a matter of fact. | ||
| And so my black pill comes from this. | ||
| When I told you they'd get off, it's because of all of the preponderance of evidence that we've been covering for years on this program. | ||
| Of the Bidens skating. | ||
| Of the Bidens not being held into account. | ||
| Ever. | ||
| For their crimes. | ||
| But ladies and gentlemen, a jury in Delaware has seen fit to do something, to do the unthinkable, to come for the king, and to bloody the mantle of the Biden dynasty. | ||
| And now it seems that Hunter Biden, who's 55 years old, May spend the rest of his life in prison. | ||
| I don't know, but 25 years is what he's facing for these crimes. | ||
| How did we get here? | ||
| What does it mean for us? | ||
| I think it means we're going to win in 2024. | ||
| The reason I can go from there to here or from here to there is very simple. | ||
| If the government turned this hard, On Hunter Biden, it was the government who brought all of the witnesses and who brought forward all of the evidence and who declared that the laptop was real in this trial. | ||
| If it was the government who furnished all of the evidence to lock up Joe Biden's child, what more do they have on Joe Biden? | ||
| What does it say about the protection mechanisms that Joe Biden has allegedly purchased inside of the actual federal government? | ||
| Those are gone is what it means. | ||
| Those are gone. | ||
| Is what it means. | ||
| They're eviscerated. | ||
| And that things have gotten so bad now that this is a warning sign. | ||
| A shot across the bow. | ||
| Is this a warning sign to Joe Biden that you better drop out? | ||
| We're going to come for your kids. | ||
| You're next. | ||
| Get ready. | ||
| Jim Biden's next. | ||
| Your brother. | ||
| Your wife. | ||
| Your daughter. | ||
| We know they're all criminals. | ||
| We know that you're a criminal. | ||
| And we know that you're a predator. | ||
| Is this a warning sign to Joe? | ||
| Is that what's happening here? | ||
| I'm not exactly certain. | ||
| But I do know this, ladies and gentlemen, as we load up on guests and more breaking news, I do know this, that there is absolutely nothing that should have prevented The guilty verdict. | ||
| Other than the corruption of our institutions. | ||
| So, again, I'm processing this in real time with you. | ||
| The reason I say nothing should have prevented it is because look at this. | ||
| Look at this thread. | ||
| I want you to see this. | ||
| This is a remarkable, remarkable thread. | ||
| We're going to go just really quickly off the top line here because we have no other breaking news. | ||
| Hunter Biden has not had his charges read to him yet. | ||
| We'll bring you, if Hunter Biden says anything out front of the court or he dares to talk to the camera or anything, we'll get you all of that breaking information. | ||
| As we await and load up all of the breaking news and all of the punditry that's happening here, a quick, a quick trip down the primrose, very powdery, crack rock-laced lane. | ||
| Of the degeneracy of Hunter Biden. | ||
| All of this information presented by the federal government. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| I'm not here to stand for them. | ||
| I'm not here to say that they are on the side of the better angels. | ||
| A decision has been made to burn the Bidens. | ||
| Do you understand? | ||
| A decision was made to now burn the Bidens. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| And this was the easy case, a reminder. | ||
| The federal tax evasion cases that occur in two months from now in California, those, those are the federal pound you in the rear cases. | ||
| Those are the ones that they were the most scared of. | ||
| This was supposed to be the easy one to skate from. | ||
| Really quickly here. | ||
| The information and all of the evidence that the government provided against Hunter Biden. | ||
| Let's go quickly through this. | ||
| And of course, we will break immediately for any breaking news, we assure you, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| On October 12th, 2018, Hunter Biden walked into StarQuest Shooters and Survival Supply, federally licensed firearm dealer in Wilmington, Delaware, and answered no to question 11E on the ATF form 4473, a federal background check. | ||
| Certifying that he was not doing drugs. | ||
| You can see the form here. | ||
| You can see Hunter Biden's own hand. | ||
| You can see Hunter Biden's own signature on this form. | ||
| And you can see him answering no to are you addicted, unlawfully addicted, to any depressants, stimulants, narcotic drugs, or any other controlled substances that is lying on a federal form. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, that is enough to get you in big trouble. | ||
| But if you lie on gun forms, don't ever lie on federal forms, but if you lie on gun forms, then you have another thing coming. | ||
| Because then you're lying in order to get this, and this is the firearm that was purchased. | ||
| By attesting no, the drug user addict question on the federal firearms paperwork, Hunter Biden was able to buy a Colt Cobra.38 special revolver. | ||
| Here is the actual firearm. | ||
| Hunter Biden paid almost $1,000 for this, $886, along with a couple of accoutrements. | ||
| Hunter Biden purchased 25 rounds of ammunition, which were missing when the gun was eventually recovered. | ||
| Where'd it go? | ||
| Nobody knows. | ||
| A speed loader, an accessory that enables rapid loading, and a semi-automatic air pistol, which can also do some damage. | ||
| Hunter Biden's ex-lover, Haley Biden, the widow of late brother Beau Biden, whom he introduced the crack cocaine, found the gun inside of Hunter's unlocked Ford Raptor truck while cleaning out his car on October 23rd, 2018, 11 days after the gun sale. | ||
| Really important thing, don't ever leave your firearms unlocked in your vehicles. | ||
| Many people travel with firearms in their vehicles, totally fine. | ||
| Maybe you're one of them. | ||
| But do not leave it so that, like, a bum who rummages through your car Or somebody who is a child or somebody who maybe has no ill intent but is just like a curious kid could find that firearm. | ||
| This is deeply, deeply bad behavior by Hunter Biden to leave the firearm unlocked in the vehicle. | ||
| According to Haley's testimony at the trial, she additionally found remnants of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia strewn about the vehicle, the Ford Raptor, with the firearm. | ||
| Here are Haley's texts with Hunter Biden when he realized that she stole the gun. | ||
| Did you take that from me, Haley? | ||
| Are you insane? | ||
| Tell me now. | ||
| This is no game. | ||
| And you're going to be totally irresponsible. | ||
| You are being totally irresponsible and unhinged. | ||
| Tell me now, Haley. | ||
| You really need to help me think right now, Haley. | ||
| This is very serious. | ||
| Hunter Biden texting Haley. | ||
|

|
Uh. | |
| Ah. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| The effing FBI, Haley. | ||
| It's hard to believe anybody is this stupid. | ||
| This is how Hunter Biden talks to his dead brother's widow. | ||
| That he got addicted to crack. | ||
| So, who's at fault here? | ||
| Haley. | ||
| Owning a gun that is locked car hidden on another property? | ||
| You say I invaded your privacy. | ||
| What more could I do? | ||
| Come back to you and try again. | ||
| And you do this? | ||
| Who in their right mind would you trust to help me get sober? | ||
| So Hunter Biden just having a real one. | ||
| Just melting down. | ||
| Just having a complete and total meltdown. | ||
| Talking about how the FBI is about to get involved in this. | ||
| And he was right, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Because the FBI did get involved. | ||
| Next tweet. | ||
| The FBI is showing here the federal evidence of the white powder on the gun pouch. | ||
| This is where Hunter Biden kept his firearm. | ||
| Have you ever seen this photo? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| The federal government kept this hidden. | ||
| It was a leather pouch where the gun was, and you can actually legitimately see the white powder, the remnants and residue on the pouch. | ||
| You can see it, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This white powder was tested, and it was found to be cocaine. | ||
| In late 2018, Haley complained about the... | ||
| Another one of Hunter's pouches containing a stem, also known as a crack pipe, left at her home's library next to her son. | ||
| Okay, so Hunter Biden is leaving drug paraphernalia, perhaps with drugs in it, next to little children. | ||
| Next post. | ||
| Here at the local grocery store, surveillance footage of Haley Biden discarding the gun. | ||
| She used a gift bag to mask its appearance. | ||
| She tossed it into a trash receptacle. | ||
| And then shopped around inside. | ||
| You can actually physically see Haley throw the gun. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| You can see her throw the gun into the trash can. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Now, you can see an elderly dumpster diver rummaging through the trash can and taking the firearm. | ||
| Which is, of course, not his... | ||
| It's no crime. | ||
| For him, I didn't think he knew what he was doing. | ||
| He's the one who called the police and turned it in. | ||
| Here's the security footage of Haley Biden returning to the store and frantically looking for the gun that's now gone. | ||
| At this point, she filed a police report and Hunter was considered a victim of firearm theft. | ||
| Authorities extracted a trove of data from Hunter Biden's infamous laptop abandoned at the Mac shop, a computer repair place owned by John Paul Mac Isaac. | ||
| Investigators also accessed his iCloud account via search warrant to Apple. | ||
| Pictures and videos of Hunter Biden smoking crack while nude were among the visuals prosecutors presented to the jury on a projector screen. | ||
| Some of these are hard to watch, let's just say. | ||
| Some of the videos were taken by Hunter's ex-lover, adult dancer and cam girl Zoe Castan, who goes by the social media moniker WeedSlut420, remember, bringing decency back to the White House, who testified against him. | ||
| The two met when she performed a private session for him in a strip club. | ||
| The adult performer, Weed Slut 420, decided to testify against Hunter Biden and showed the prosecution pictures of Hunter Biden and her in a bathtub, smoking crack, while the two were on a luxurious spending spree lighting up high-end hotels across Los Angeles and New York. | ||
| On the witness stand, Kastan explained, This is all while Hunter Biden was apparently not addicted to drugs. | ||
| Remember, his defense was, I was not on drugs when I purchased and owned this firearm. | ||
| I can be sober, but I'll always be an addict, Hunter Biden texted the weed slut 420. | ||
| The defense claims that the text sounded like a step in Alcoholics Anonymous. | ||
| Hunter's legal team is relying on that argument, but it didn't work. | ||
| Prosecution played portions of Hunter Biden's audiobook narration of his memoir, Beautiful Things. | ||
| In court, Hunter heard himself admit that he bought crack cocaine on the streets of the nation's capital and embarked on a cross-country crack-fueled odyssey, smoking crack every hour of the day, around-the-clock use of crack, sometimes shortening to as often as 15 minutes. | ||
| I was doing nothing but drinking and drugging, Hunter Biden said in his own words. | ||
| Among Hunter Biden's texts with drug dealers that the prosecution pulled for the presentation of the jury, he told Haley Biden that he was with Bernard, who hangs at 7-Eleven, and waiting behind the Wilmington Blue Rock Stadium for a drug dealer named Mookie. | ||
| What did Mookie bring? | ||
| He brought these. | ||
| This, like, literally Midwestern windshield ice. | ||
| Bags of crack to Hunter Biden. | ||
| I was sleeping on a car, smoking crack on a street corner in downtown Wilmington. | ||
| Hunter texted the next day. | ||
| Do you understand why I was a doomer on this? | ||
| You must understand, ladies and gentlemen, that Hunter Biden... | ||
| Here are the bank statements showing more than $150,000 in cash withdrawn from Hunter Biden's assortment of accounts over the three-month period in order to purchase the gun and all of the drugs. | ||
| It was all done in cash. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was all done in cash. | |
| This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I had the black pill. | ||
| I had the black pill because Hunter Biden is, in his own words, Sitting on the hood of a car, smoking mountains of crack in downtown Wilmington, and nothing happens to him. | ||
| Admittedly, talking about it in his book, bragging about it, naming his drug dealers. | ||
| During a rebuttal today, the prosecution entered evidence that Hunter Biden in October texts with more presumed drug dealers, Jr. and Q. His go-to meeting place was 7-Eleven at the intersection of Greenhill and Lancaster in Wilmington. | ||
| If that sounds familiar, Hunter had told Haley Biden that he was with Bernard, who hangs out at 7-Eleven, specifying on the street corner Hunter's location and data placed him there too. | ||
| So in chapter 10 of his memoir, Hunter described in detail how he arranged these drug pickups at 7-Eleven in order to fuel his addiction. | ||
| And so there is the evidence that was presented by the government with one final thing, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| One final important note on this. | ||
| The laptop. | ||
| The laptop. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, the laptop was brought into court. | ||
| The original laptop. | ||
| Not hard drives of it, not copies of it. | ||
| Which many people have. | ||
| The original laptop, Hunter Biden's cocaine-stained, drug-laced laptop, the OG, the one that was dropped off at the repair shop, was marched into court in a baggie held like this by the FBI and was brought into court and was placed on the desk. | ||
| And the FBI was asked, is this Hunter Biden's laptop? | ||
| And the Hunter... | ||
| FBI analyst said not only is that Hunter Biden's laptop, but we have 18,000 pages of hard-coded data that we have taken from that laptop at the FBI and confirmed that it is indeed Hunter Biden's. | ||
| It was not planted by any Russian. | ||
| It was not remixed or threaded in there. | ||
| Some type of AI program to make it look like Hunter Biden or embarrass Hunter Biden. | ||
| It's literally Hunter Biden. | ||
| The FBI testified to that in court, thus atomizing one of the greatest lies of the 2020 election to rig our election, that the Hunter Biden laptop was rushing to disinformation. | ||
| Why the change in tune? | ||
| The only... | ||
| Way to interpret this is that a switch has been flipped and that the Bidens are now fair game from a federal prosecution perspective. | ||
| That something has happened and now there is a decision. | ||
| I'm not blaming this on Better Angels. | ||
| It's not like the federal government is like, oh, wow, we like suddenly love Trump. | ||
| It's not that they love Trump. | ||
| It's that they have decided the usefulness of the Bidens are now useless. | ||
| The usefulness of the Bidens are now over. | ||
| And that is what I believe, in my heart of hearts, is the decision that has been made here. | ||
| And now Hunter Biden has been found guilty. | ||
| Now Hunter Biden has been found guilty on all charges. | ||
| A remarkable moment. | ||
| An incredible moment. | ||
| And that is where we've been through where we are now. | ||
| I tell you the truth, I was not planning on giving a breakdown like that because I believed that what would happen would be another entry into the log as long as my arm of times that Hunter Biden was given a free pass and skated. | ||
| With two giant middle fingers, flaming middle fingers to us, the taxpayers, and to you and your children. | ||
| And I say you and your children because Joe Biden was very proud of crack laws that he passed in the 1990s that locked up predominantly young black men by the hundreds of thousands, A long portion of their youths in prison. | ||
| I'm not going to argue the merits of those laws. | ||
| I'm going to tell you that it is evil to not enforce those laws on your own son. | ||
| If you have decided, Joe Biden, to lock up hundreds of thousands of other people's kids for smoking crack whilst in the same hand using an UNO reverse card for your kid. | ||
| Boom! | ||
| Nope, my kid doesn't go to jail. | ||
| I actually use all of my power and all of my leverage and all of my threatenings as a senator to get my crackhead kid out of jail and he is allowed to skate every single time. | ||
| You are human garbage. | ||
| You are human garbage. | ||
| You are exactly why people despise the ruling class. | ||
| You are exactly why Trump happened because of the dual standards. | ||
| The oligarchy that clearly controls and runs this place is not a democracy. | ||
| It's not a republic. | ||
| It's not those things. | ||
| It's something far darker and far worse. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is a moment and a very rare one and one that you should savor forever that says, at this moment in American history, Maybe the oligarchy is falling. | ||
| Maybe there is some justice. | ||
| And maybe the old powers that have brought this place to the brink, maybe they'll see theirs. | ||
| Maybe they will. | ||
| We'll see, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| I am uplifted. | ||
| And I am glad. | ||
| I am glad for this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| A lot of news to cover. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| A lot of news to cover. | ||
| So, let's begin. | ||
| The moments before this verdict, Jonathan Turley talking about Jill Biden walking into court and what this means for the Biden family. | ||
| Big fan of Jonathan Turley. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| I'm going to ask you about what this does overall to the tenor in the United States. | ||
| I mean, this case was very different than how former President Trump was treated in a lot of different ways. | ||
| Two different cases, so we can understand some of it, but not all of it. | ||
| He's still under a gag order. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, this was a very fair judge, in my view. | |
| She ruled for the defense and for the prosecutors on different issues. | ||
| She went right down the middle of the road. | ||
| And I think in the end, justice was done here. | ||
| This jury was able to overcome a nullification strategy. | ||
| I think part of the problem was that Abby Lowell, the defense attorney, put forward a bunch of defenses in the opening statement that collapsed within 48 hours. | ||
| The prosecutors did an extraordinarily good job here. | ||
| They were focused, they were disciplined, and they methodically... | ||
| It took apart each of these defenses in front of the jury. | ||
| And when you pursue a nullification strategy, it can go too far sometimes. | ||
| It can make the jury feel like they're being treated as chumps. | ||
| And I think that here the jury followed their instructions. | ||
| Jonathan, excuse me. | ||
| We're seeing the First Lady Jill Biden walk into the courthouse. | ||
| So it's taken a little bit longer for all of the family members to reassemble. | ||
| We saw Hunter Biden go a few minutes ago back into the courthouse. | ||
| But we knew that once a verdict had been reached, at least he would return and maybe even all of that family. | ||
| Previously, we saw Joe Biden's brother James go in, too. | ||
| So they are reassembling ahead of the reading of this verdict. | ||
| Jonathan, finish your thought. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know, that was an interesting moment to have the First Lady come in because I'm sure the prosecutors were not happy with having this array of Biden family members, very famous figures, behind Hunter. | |
| It reminded this jury that this is Bidentown. | ||
| You know, this is Wilmington. | ||
| This is where the Bidens reside. | ||
| And it says a lot about the jurors that they overcame that. | ||
| There was obvious sympathy for the defendant. | ||
| I had sympathy for the defendant. | ||
| When you hear his account of his struggle with drugs, you can't be anything but empathetic. | ||
| But there was also an unavoidable series of criminal acts in all of this. | ||
| And by saying things like, he might not have checked the box, or he had a moment of sobriety, or maybe he was just using alcohol, really, I think, might have insulted some of the jurors. | ||
| The way that Lowell made it sound is that the question meant, are you doing drugs while you're purchasing this weapon? | ||
| He narrowed it so much. | ||
| So this was the build-up and the lead-up. | ||
| It remains to be said, and it's something that I need to say, Judge Norieka here, who is the federal judge overseeing this trial, deserves some major plaudits as she is the person who destroyed the deal that was cut by the federal government with Hunter Biden and tossed it. | ||
| And forced this trial. | ||
| And then forced, effectively, both parties to then go head-to-head. | ||
| Hunter Biden behaving in the way that Nepo babies behave with extraordinary dripping and enraging privilege. | ||
| And then the federal government deciding to actually then bring the trial. | ||
| A remarkable, remarkable move by the judge. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, a remarkable move by the judge. | ||
| Cash Patel will be joining the program in just a little bit. | ||
| He's a federal prosecutor, a former federal prosecutor. | ||
| Of course, you know and love Cash Patel, but he's a former federal prosecutor who I think will be quite good on this topic and will get his first reactions. | ||
| Who was in court to hear all of this today? | ||
| Who were the people that actually heard this? | ||
| There was pretty much every Biden family member. | ||
| Other than Joe Biden was standing in court to hear Hunter go down in flames. | ||
| A remarkable moment. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| I want to right now gather news from the justice correspondent, David Spunt. | ||
| He was inside the courtroom just minutes ago. | ||
| So, David, give us a playback, if you will, of what it was like to be there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Harris, quite an extraordinary moment when the son of the sitting president of the United States was found guilty. | |
| It happened very quickly. | ||
| Hunter Biden showed no emotion. | ||
| He remained tense. | ||
| He was looking still. | ||
| He patted Abby Lowell on the back as if to thank him, even though this did not go their way. | ||
| Noticeable, the first lady was not in the courtroom when the verdict was read, and she hastily just walked in with some aides a few moments ago into the courthouse to be with her son, but she was not even in the room. | ||
| when the verdict was read. | ||
| Valerie Biden Owens, the president's sister, she also was not in the room. | ||
| She was in the hallway. | ||
| The verdict was read. | ||
| She rushed in after to be close to Hunter. | ||
| And, you know, Hunter looked back. | ||
| He looked at family very briefly, but clearly a tense moment in the scene. | ||
| I don't think members of his team expected the As far as sentencing is concerned, Judge Marielle... | ||
| Alan Narika said that typically that's about 120 days after, so you do the math here, that puts us later into the summer, and there's a lot of questions on when that's going to be. | ||
| Harris, President Biden himself said in an interview that he would rule out pardoning his son, but we have to see how that plays out as we get down the line. | ||
| As far as hearing from Hunter Biden today, I was told that had this gone in Hunter Biden's favor, we may have heard from him at the microphones, but unlikely we will hear anything from him. | ||
| Perhaps we may hear something from his attorney, Abby Lowell. | ||
| I also want to note very quickly, Special Counsel David Weiss, who brought this case, was not in the courtroom as well. | ||
| So it just kind of gives you an idea. | ||
| A lot of people were not prepared for this. | ||
| The First Lady was not in here. | ||
| She's been here pretty much every day of the trial except one to support Hunter. | ||
| And the Special Counsel himself was not here in the courtroom. | ||
| Harris? | ||
| Well, I'm glad we have those details. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| The moment that Hunter Biden exited the courthouse. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Breaking. | ||
| Seconds ago. | ||
| The moment that Hunter Biden exited the courthouse. | ||
| He's standing there with his new girlfriend. | ||
| Really hard to keep track. | ||
| Hopefully not a family member. | ||
| But you never know. | ||
| Make sure you lock the shower doors, you know what I mean, when you're at the Biden residence. | ||
| And then he's holding hands with the babysitter, Jill. | ||
| We call her the babysitter because she's not Hunter Biden's mother. | ||
| She is Hunter Biden's babysitter. | ||
| And Joe Biden cheated on Hunter Biden's mom with her, and she was cheating on her husband with Joe Biden. | ||
| And then Joe Biden and her got married. | ||
| So that's the... | ||
| A wonderful love story of the Bidens. | ||
| Just a reminder of that. | ||
| Of course, we have the evidence to prove that, too. | ||
| Jill Biden's husband is still around. | ||
| He's in Delaware. | ||
| You can go talk to him. | ||
| He'll tell you. | ||
| Jill Biden came and stole my wife. | ||
| She was his babysitter. | ||
| He stole my wife. | ||
| My wife was Jill Biden. | ||
| I married Jill Biden. | ||
| Obviously, Biden's not her maiden name. | ||
| This is the love story of the Bidens. | ||
| So a debaucherous and despicable family, Jill Biden holding the hand of the now convicted felon. | ||
| Can we say that now? | ||
| Convicted felon, Hunter Biden. | ||
| And we look forward to the sentencing. | ||
| What is remarkable to me is that the Biden regime has done no shortage of press conferences for gun criminals. | ||
| And as you look at this, as you look at this photo, can we zoom in here on Jill, shockingly not wearing a Bed Bath& Beyond curtain, wearing more of a Hillary Clinton pantsuit here and Hunter Biden. | ||
| It seems to be Jill Biden is embracing a gun criminal. | ||
| You know, every... | ||
| Flipping day, you turn on the television and you see Joe Biden giving another mewling, slurring speech about gun crime in America and irresponsible gun users, yet I haven't heard him say Jack about his own son, who is now a convicted felon federal gun criminal. | ||
| It's going to be interesting for him to make those... | ||
| It's going to be interesting for him to make those comments now, given the fact that his only surviving son is now a federal gun criminal. | ||
| So, ladies and gentlemen, we continue to move through the news cycle here. | ||
| Some absolutely incredible, incredible updates on the tax crimes. | ||
| This tax crimes trial is set to go in California. | ||
| And these are the tax crimes. | ||
| These are the... | ||
| This is the real one. | ||
| I've been telling you. | ||
| This is the real one. | ||
| This is the one that's really bad. | ||
| 400 by... | ||
| This is the one... | ||
| Everybody thought that they were going to skate on this. | ||
| Everyone thought that this was going to be very easy in Wilmington. | ||
| They were just going to get the get out of jail free card. | ||
| Not as much Biden muscle in California. | ||
| And so the tax crimes case that's brought in California, that that was going to be really bad. | ||
| And the federal government's filings on that have been... | ||
| I'm not trying to be naive here. | ||
| The federal government, they're not on the side of the angels. | ||
| But the filings on this tax crime is really, I mean, it's devastating reading it. | ||
| Why don't you get me some excerpts, please, from this? | ||
| The excerpts are, I mean, there's no other way to read it. | ||
| They went hard at Hunter. | ||
| This is the one that many assumed would put Hunter Biden in jail, would bankrupt him, and then put him in jail for the rest of his life. | ||
| And ladies and gentlemen, uh, Andy McCarthy talking about how this is the one they really need to be worried about. | ||
| Yet now you have the noose tightening with this gun charge. | ||
| Hunter Biden's perhaps facing again the rest of his life in prison. | ||
| He's 55 facing the rest of his life in prison. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| What are your thoughts on what has to happen next? | ||
| If they're going to appeal, they've got the tax trial, the tax fraud trial coming up. | ||
| That's a lot to squeeze in right before his dad's presidential election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it sure is. | |
| And you really can't disaggregate the politics from the legal, either on the Republican side or the Democratic side, apparently. | ||
| The tax case is supposed to happen on September 5th. | ||
| I imagine there'll be frantic efforts to try to get that put off until after the election. | ||
| So far, those efforts to delay things have been unsuccessful. | ||
| The only thing I think that might do, Harris, it might hasten Judge Noriega in trying to impose the sentence before that case happens, because once the trial starts... | ||
| It would be probably prejudicial and very difficult to interrupt that so he could be sentenced. | ||
| So I imagine he'll either be sentenced before then, which is probable, or they'll put it off until after that trial is over. | ||
| But that trial is really bad for the White House. | ||
| I mean, that's the trial in which Joe Biden is implicated because these are the taxes that Hunter evaded while he was peddling his father's... | ||
| Could he be called to testify? | ||
| The president of the United States? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He could be called to testify. | |
| It seems to me that that's highly unlikely. | ||
| The government won't call him. | ||
| In fact, I think the special counsel so-called here, his main job seems to have been to insulate Joe Biden from Hunter's wrongdoing to the point that even though... | ||
| I think Joe Biden's a central figure in the ginning up of the revenue that that case is about. | ||
| The prosecutors have kept his name out of the indictment, and obviously the defense is not going to call President Biden as a witness. | ||
| But I do think that the parading of this evidence, which Joe Biden is simply an unavoidable part of in the weeks leading up to the November 5th election, can't be good. | ||
| Can't be good. | ||
| Read it. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Hunter Biden spent a staggering $872,000 on prostitutes, porn, sex club memberships, took $1.6 million from ATM. | ||
| First son's wild spending laid out in tax evasion case that could land him another 17 years in jail. | ||
| That's why I say the rest of his life in prison, right? | ||
| So now you're looking at another 40 years. | ||
| Hunter Biden's 55. So 100 years in jail? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Hunter Biden's wild spending. | ||
| Has been revealed in a fresh indictment. | ||
| You can see here the breakdown from the federal government for everything that he spent money on that he did not pay taxes on along with a remarkable number of items and diamonds and rubies and cars that he was gifted that he also didn't spend any money on. | ||
| The federal government filed this Along with a bunch of text messages from Hunter, where, again, he claimed to be broke while he was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2018 alone on adult entertainment, but only $500 on mortgage payments for his children. | ||
| Complete and total scum. | ||
| Some payments were laid out in excruciating detail, detailing $11,000 for escorts to spend two nights with him in 2018. | ||
| Hunter made $3,000 in payments to M Street Management, a strip club in Washington, D.C. He's alleged to have used his business line of credit to make $27,000 in payments to an online pornography website, which in total accounted for a fifth of all of his business expenditures. | ||
| That's not something that you can write off. | ||
| That's not a write-off. | ||
| The president's son also made one-off payments, such as $1,500 Venmo payment, on August 14th. | ||
| To an exotic dancer strip club that he passed off as artwork purchases. | ||
| Got it? | ||
| See the artwork tie-in here? | ||
| Over four years, he spent $237,000 on health and beauty pharmacy services, more than $10,000, which was splashed in a single year. | ||
| Health, beauty, and pharmacy services. | ||
| Oh, I wonder what kind of pharmaceuticals he was on. | ||
| The indictment also reveals how Hunter Biden spent thousands of dollars on luxury hotels, flights, and rentals. | ||
| And he spent $3,000 on a Virgin America flight to Los Angeles and rented a Lamborghini for $1,700. | ||
| All while he was being a deadbeat father and not paying any alimony. | ||
| He spent a staggering $43,000 on stays at Chateau Marmont. | ||
| He also, in L.A., $43,000 in hotel stays. | ||
| $43,000. | ||
| He paid $7,000 for L.A. Airbnb rentals for his then-girlfriend. | ||
| Nine charges filed in California relate to tax. | ||
| They include two felony charges for filing a false return, felony charge for tax evasion, four failure to pay charges, and further two charges for failure to file. | ||
| Meanwhile, I'm not sure if we have the sex club bit, but... | ||
|
unidentified
|
It'd be really, really good to put that up. | |
| It'd be probably the time to... | ||
| Probably open season right now on Hunter Biden's credibility. | ||
| I'll show you the demonic and satanic sex club. | ||
| And it is exactly what it sounds like. | ||
| The pentagrams and the goat heads and everything that Hunter Biden joined. | ||
| And then the owner of that club... | ||
| The owner of that club kicked Hunter Biden out on the first day that he used the club because Hunter Biden was a very, very bad person, because Hunter Biden was too degenerate for the satanic sex club. | ||
| Yeah, we have that article. | ||
| I just feel like it's probably a good time to sort of set the die, set the mold on who Hunter Biden is. | ||
| Again, ladies and gentlemen, I have some announcements here. | ||
| Due to the breaking news nature of this program, we are bringing on Kash Patel momentarily to talk. | ||
| We'll be bringing on Donald Trump's attorney, Christina Bob, to talk about this. | ||
| She's also the attorney for the RNC, this very important. | ||
| And Josh Hammer of the Article 3 Project will also join us, ladies and gentlemen, later in the hour. | ||
| And so be prepared. | ||
| We have a stacked show, and we'll be getting the first responses from some of the biggest names in the legal profession. | ||
| Lawyers for the president, lawyers that have worked in the federal government, and lawyers that are working at some of our favorite groups that are just remarkable and are actually probably the reason for this ruling itself. | ||
| Because without places like the Article 3 Project, we wouldn't know anything about this. | ||
| There would be no external pressure. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, really quickly here. | ||
| Joe Biden has just released a statement. | ||
| Again, we are completely live. | ||
| We've been live since the second this news broke. | ||
| And we'll bring you all live breaking news as it happens on this program. | ||
| Just released seconds ago. | ||
| Seconds ago. | ||
| From Joe Biden. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Let's read it. | ||
| This is the Joe Biden statement. | ||
| Statement from President Joe Biden. | ||
| As I said last week, I am president, but I am also a dad. | ||
| Jill and I love our son. | ||
| We are proud of the man he is today. | ||
| So many families who have loved one's battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing somebody you love come out of the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery. | ||
| As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. | ||
| Jill and I will always be there to help Hunter. | ||
| And the rest of our family with love and support. | ||
| Nothing will ever change that. | ||
| Oh, what about all the black kids you put in jail? | ||
| Huh? | ||
| How about that? | ||
| How about all the black kids you put in jail for doing a scintilla of the amount of crack that your son did on GoPro camera? | ||
| How about them? | ||
| Will you be there for them with love and support, Joe? | ||
| How about them? | ||
| Do you ever consider releasing a statement like this? | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Again, human garbage. | ||
| It's so enraging, especially as a parent. | ||
| The worst thing that you can do for your kids is to shield them from the realities of life. | ||
| Nothing hits harder than life. | ||
| Life has consequences and they hurt. | ||
| And what Joe Biden has done here and what this statement proves to me is he's learned nothing. | ||
| The reason that Hunter Biden was found guilty today was because Joe Biden did not allow any consequences for his child. | ||
| And every parent out there watching this right now, they know this to be true. | ||
| In their bones, you know this to be true. | ||
| Joe Biden prevented any real consequence from happening to his son for his entire life until the kid spiraled in a consequence-free... | ||
| Vacuum. | ||
| These kids are just going to spiral. | ||
| They're going to hit the wall so hard that eventually something like this is going to happen. | ||
| If Joe Biden had just let his son go to prison or get a mugshot or get, you know, again, thrown in rehab at 18 when he was first getting locked up for possession, then you'd have a totally different life. | ||
| But Joe Biden's learned nothing. | ||
| He continues to shield his son from consequences and continues to explain away. | ||
| Oh, it's just addiction. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Who caused that addiction? | ||
| You really want to know the measure of a man? | ||
| If you want to know the measure of who a man is, like, look at his kids. | ||
| Look at how his kids turn out. | ||
| Look at his animals. | ||
| Look at how his dog behaves. | ||
| Are your kids a mess? | ||
| Are your kids a disaster? | ||
| Are your kids destroying their lives? | ||
| Well, that's on you, Dad. | ||
| Are your kids found guilty of gun crimes in your home state for having cocaine on their firearm that they illegally purchased? | ||
| That's on you, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's your failures. | |
| Bribing and getting him out of every single effed-up problem. | ||
| That he fell backwards into and, like, using your power to shield him from the actual real-world consequences of his bad behavior. | ||
| There's a reason why spankings are so important. | ||
| There's a reason why consequences are so important in parenting. | ||
| This is the result of no consequences. | ||
| This is the result of no consequences. | ||
| Here we are, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Satanic, demonic sex club that kicked out Hunter Biden. | ||
| You can see here, this is a demonic sex club. | ||
| It's blasphemous. | ||
| They're using religious iconography in blasphemous and cultish ways. | ||
| And these people, who are in charge of the demonic sex club, Kicked out Hunter Biden. | ||
| This guy, the guy in the red bow tie there, that guy's in charge of something called the SNCTM sex club. | ||
| He kicked out Hunter Biden because he was acting like a spoiled child, founder Damon Lawner told the Post. | ||
| Lawner said the IRS investigated Biden's $10,000 payment to his sex club because Hunter Biden wrote it off as a business expense. | ||
| See that? | ||
| Hunter Biden got kicked out of a private sex club for grabbing women's asses and acting like a spoiled child, the founder exclusively told The Post. | ||
| The president's son is a really bad guy and not a good person. | ||
| He's just not, said Damon Launer, the founder of the notorious SNCTM club, where memberships run as high as $75,000 a year. | ||
| Hunter's $10,000 payment led to Launer receiving an IRS subpoena. | ||
| Launer claimed that the payment was made through a mystery woman and later informed that the IRS criminal division asked me about the bookkeeping records. | ||
| Lawner said he decided to disclose Biden's sex club membership after Biden was given a virtual slap on the wrist on Tuesday in an income tax and gun case after five-year federal investigation. | ||
| The whopping fee, Lawner said, Was made through an LLC that hid Hunter's name and was paid by a mystery woman who accompanied the president's son high as a kite and zoinked out to the club. | ||
| Sometime in 2018, Launer said a woman applied for the membership to the sex club. | ||
| The woman told Launer, who approved of all the memberships, that she would be accompanied by a handsome man. | ||
| That man was Hunter Biden. | ||
| Hunter Biden was told to be a member of a prominent political family. | ||
| You see that? | ||
| There you go. | ||
| But then this is how he behaved in the sex club. | ||
| On their first and only visit, Hunter acted so rude to the upscale female members, grabbing women's asses and other behavior that went against the club's rules, Launer asked him to leave and banned him from the club forever. | ||
| So, again, the founder of the demonic sex club banned Hunter Biden. | ||
| Because he was a really, really, really bad person and because of his behavior. | ||
| Got it? | ||
| These are the kind of people that you're dealing with. | ||
| These are the kind of people running your country. | ||
| Is there a sea change right now happening in this nation? | ||
| Is there something that is happening that has changed in the country that Hunter Biden can be found guilty and somebody of this kind of prominence can be found guilty? | ||
| We'll see, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Judge Jeanine reacting to the guilty verdict. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Judge Jeanine Pirro is also with us. | ||
| Judge, I'm curious about how this gets handled politically, because you look at both, and we talk about this often. | ||
| How do you, with a gun control event later today with President Biden, how do you deal? | ||
| Knowing Joe Biden, Harris, I would suspect that there will be very little, if anything, said, because anything that they say will be deemed to be hypocritical in terms of what this administration stands for, in terms of increasing penalties for offering a false statement in support of a gun application. | ||
| And, you know, commenting on this case is not going to do Joe Biden any good, other than if he's looking for sympathy. | ||
| But I want to say one thing that I think is very important, and that is that the fact that Jill Biden wasn't there, the fact that the whole family or not everyone was aware that the verdict was coming back, really tells me that they were kind of, you know, thinking that maybe this show of force in terms of the Biden family being front row, | ||
| staring down the jury would intimidate the jury because anyone who understands the criminal law, and that's most of the people that you've been talking to in the last few minutes, knows that this case was an open and shut case. | ||
| And I think that they're even leaving recognizing the significance of this is indicative of the fact that they thought, well, maybe we'll get away with it. | ||
| We've got time. | ||
| No, this jury and this judge, they were not going to waste any time. | ||
| And the judge didn't even say, should we wait for anybody? | ||
| This is a no-nonsense judge who took this case, showed America how a case works, and moved it right from opening statement to verdict. | ||
| Well, I mean, she's not wrong. | ||
| It was a very, very quick trial. | ||
| The trial only started last week. | ||
| It's a very quick trial. | ||
| And they did jury selection. | ||
| I mean, and then, boom! | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Guilty verdict. | ||
| And here is the verdict, ladies and gentlemen, just released seconds ago. | ||
| You were the first people to actually see this. | ||
| Here is the verdict form. | ||
| You can see the actual ticks and the marks on the box. | ||
| Let's read through it. | ||
| United States District Court for the District of Delaware. | ||
| United States of America versus Robert Hunter Biden. | ||
| Jury verdict form. | ||
| On count one, charging the defendant with making false statement connection to the acquisition of a firearm, we find the defendant guilty. | ||
| Count two, charging the defendant on making a false statement with respect to the information required, kept in records, guilty. | ||
| Count three, charging the defendant with possession of a firearm by a person who is unlawful, used, or addicted to controlled substance, guilty. | ||
| 25 years in prison is what they're looking for right now. | ||
| So it's, again, there is the verdict. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Read it and weep. | ||
| There's a bunch of doomers going around being like, you know, hey, you, you know, you're not charging Hunter Biden on, you know, you could have charged him on all of these other things and, you know, you could have charged him for every crime under the sun. | ||
| Yes, yes, we've been saying that on this program for a very long time. | ||
| Let us always understand that there is a system that, like, we are fighting against the beast. | ||
| You're fighting against Megalodon here. | ||
| And that wars are won in small battles and are not won in fantasy land large strokes. | ||
| That also the predicate has been set to take anything out of the statute of limitations and to undergird and essentially rewrite the law. | ||
| Bring Trump into office. | ||
| Get an attorney general who's real, like a Ted Cruz. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Ted Cruz is somebody that I think would make a great attorney general. | ||
| Cash Patel will be joining the show in just a second. | ||
| He'd make a great attorney general. | ||
| And then take all of these crimes that Hunter Biden committed and find a way to extend the statute of limitations. | ||
| They did it with Trump. | ||
| You just find the way. | ||
| The laws in this country are Well, what have been proven quite flexible when they are looking to actually prove a point, | ||
| like they did with Donald Trump, when a two-year misdemeanor from 2017 for an alleged affair that took place in 2005 that somehow, like, had an effect on the federal election that the DOJ, the FBC, decided not to charge. | ||
| That Alan Bragg's office decided not to charge. | ||
| That Alan Bragg's predecessor decided not to charge. | ||
| That only got charged when they were able to bring in the top brass at the DOJ, Matthew Colangelo, to create a novel legal theory as to why you should undergird a federal, a greater federal crime for the misdemeanor crime. | ||
| Like, these are the backflips and neck-snapping aerobics. | ||
| That the Biden regime went through to charge Donald Trump and you're telling me that another Biden Justice Department couldn't just bring the FARA violations against Hunter Biden? | ||
| No, you could totally bring those violations. | ||
| I don't know, FARA, Foreign Agent Registration. | ||
| So that's the thing that is ping-pong-balling around the internet right now. | ||
| Oh, well, you should have charged them for being a foreign agent of China, Russia. | ||
| Getting all these mountains of cash from all these different countries. | ||
| And then what you could do, and then you could use Hunter Biden as a through line to his father, Joe, who was facilitating all these deals. | ||
| It was like plainly obvious on its face. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The answer is yes. | ||
| Stephen Miller actually has a tweet up about this. | ||
| We'll show it to you. | ||
| Stephen, far be it for us to second guess Stephen Miller. | ||
| I'm just, I wish to live in reality here, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| The DOJ is running. | ||
| And we love Stephen Miller on this program. | ||
| The DOJ is running election interference for Joe Biden. | ||
| This is why the DOJ did not charge Hunter Biden with being an unregistered foreign agent, FARA, for any crime related to foreign corruption because the evidence would lead back to Joe. | ||
| DOJ is Joe's election protection racket. | ||
| The gun charges are a giant misdirection, an easy op for the DOJ to sell, a pliant media. | ||
| That is all too willing to be duped. | ||
| Do not be gaslit. | ||
| This is about protecting Joe Biden. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Why not use this as momentum to win the election in 2024? | ||
| To say that the Biden family are a bunch of criminals who have protected their son time and time again from the rule of law and that they are tax cheats? | ||
| They are everything that they accuse the American people of being. | ||
| The villains of the Biden regime are rich people who don't pay their taxes and gun criminals. | ||
| And that family are those things. | ||
| Now, like, why not use this? | ||
| Get a real DOJ in there and then open up a, like, appoint a special counsel to look into the foreign agent registration violations of the Biden crime family. | ||
| That seems to be the logical step forward. | ||
| Wars. | ||
| Are won over the course of many, many years of small battles and small tracks of victories in little theaters and then they're won quickly. | ||
| The wars are fought for years and then, ladies and gentlemen, there comes a moment when everything collapses. | ||
| I will take the victory. | ||
| I will take the victory. | ||
| I will do it. | ||
| This is the video of Hunter Biden and Jill leaving the courthouse hand in hand. | ||

I think that the family is likely and sure to see so much more in terms of that embarrassing detail. | |
| All right, right now live, you have Hunter Biden, his stepmother, the First Lady Jill Biden, his wife, to the far left of your screen, Melissa Cohen, as he says goodbye to his supporters who have been showing up almost daily. | ||
| So, this is, I mean, there are no such thing as Joe Biden supporters. | ||
| Give me a break. | ||
| There's no such thing as Hunter Biden supporters. | ||
| Hunter Biden doesn't even support his own children. | ||
| His own children don't even support Hunter Biden. | ||
| Hunter Biden doesn't even claim his own children. | ||
| Just a reminder that Navy Joan Roberts is the name of Hunter Biden's five-year-old who lives in Arkansas with her mother, London Roberts. | ||
| And Hunter Biden had to be sued and brought in for a paternity test just to... | ||
| Acknowledge the existence of that child. | ||
| Joe Biden and Jill Biden hung a stocking up for their ravenous, rabies-laden German shepherds at the White House instead of acknowledging that grandchild. | ||
| Just a reminder. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, there's a Donald Trump statement going around. | ||
| Our producers are looking to see if it is real. | ||
| But I leave that call to executive producer ALX, who never leads us astray on these things. | ||
| So, it is time for a salt that lib. | ||
| How long is the CNN clip? | ||
| How long is our CNN clips here? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| This is long enough for a salt that lib. | ||
| It is time to salt the salty libs of CNN, who perhaps were as shocked as I with this moment. | ||
| They reacted live on air. | ||
| We have that clip. | ||
| And ladies and gentlemen, a reminder that we will be joined by Kash Patel, federal prosecutor Kash Patel, and the guy who's probably top of the list to run Donald Trump's Department of Justice in a second term. | ||
| And Christina Bobb, who is Donald Trump's attorney and also the lead attorney at the RNC. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| This is our Salt That Lib for the day. | ||
| Please pour salt on CNN as they read this verdict live on air through the tears. | ||

Reid has just walked outside of the court. | |
| She's joining us right now from Wilmington, Delaware. | ||
| What's the latest you're hearing, Paula? | ||
| We have second verification from going outside the court. | ||
| Well, the jury has found Hunter Biden, the president's son, guilty on all three counts in this case after three hours of deliberation. | ||
| Count one is a false statement in the purchase of a firearm. | ||
| Count two is false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms license dealer. | ||
| Count three is possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user or addicted to a controlled substance. | ||
| So he has been found guilty on all three counts. | ||
| Now, the jury here is comprised of six men and six women. | ||
| It is a majority black jury. | ||
| This is day seven of this historic trial. | ||
| This is the first time that the child of a sitting president has faced a criminal prosecution. | ||
| This is the first of two criminal trials that he will face after a plea deal that he negotiated fell apart. | ||
| Now, over the past seven days, he has enjoyed enormous support from his family, including his stepmother, the first lady of the United States, who has been here for many days during this trial. | ||
| Other family members, friends of the family, clergy members. | ||
| He has had dozens of people here showing support for him. | ||
| And it was notable yesterday that at the beginning of the prosecutors, a closing argument, they pointed to the gallery where the first lady has been sitting and said, those people, they don't matter. | ||
| What matters here is the evidence. | ||
| And here, the jury believes that the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable. | ||
| was proving that Hunter Biden knowingly lied throughout the course of this process, that he was aware of the fact that he was either using or addicted to drugs. | ||
| And they pointed yesterday to the fact that shortly before he purchased this gun that he had been recently in rehab. | ||
| So prosecutors said, look, if he hadn't just been to rehab, maybe we could buy the idea that he wasn't aware of the fact that he had a problem with substance abuse. | ||
| But again, after three hours of deliberation, a jury here in Wilmington Pretty remarkable, actually. | ||
| Only three hours. | ||
| And what a ringer. | ||
| Only three hours. | ||
| What a ringer. | ||
| I don't buy it that Joe Biden won't pardon his kid. | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
| Doesn't seem in the nature of Joe Biden. | ||
| Joe Biden's done everything in his professional career. | ||
| To spring his kid, like a jailbird, every single time that he's gotten the option? | ||
| I would count on Joe Biden doing something called a pocket pardon, meaning on his way out of office. | ||
| Maybe that's why they're bringing all these charges. | ||
| I mean, the doomer way to look at this is that they'll bring all these charges to charge Hunter, and you can't pardon somebody, right, for like a crime that they didn't commit or haven't committed? | ||
| That's not how it works. | ||
| And so they charge Hunter Biden, they find him guilty, and then Joe Biden on his way out of office, he has a pocket pardon, and he pardons his kid. | ||
| Last day in office. | ||
| Everybody screams and whines and cries. | ||
| On the right, everybody on the left says, oh, it's just the love of a father. | ||
| You know, you can hear it right now. | ||
| Joe Biden has promised that he won't pardon his kid. | ||
| He said this actually this weekend. | ||
| With his, you know, Muppet face. | ||
| And by Muppet face, we actually have the side-by-side with the puppets here. | ||
| Joe Biden saying this past weekend he will not pardon Hunter. | ||
| Declaring he will not pardon Hunter. | ||
| Let's go. | ||

As we sit here in Normandy, your son Hunter is on trial. | |
| And I know that you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution. | ||
| But let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And have you ruled out a pardon for your son? | |
| Yes. | ||
| Look at the side-by-side. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| I mean, it just, it's perfect. | ||
| It's perfect. | ||
| Not AI. | ||
| It's a real face that Joe Biden makes. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| How do you do it? | ||
| How do you do it? | ||
| I just... | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| I just nailed it. | ||
| Guys, a famous comedian. | ||
| His name's Jeff Dunham. | ||
| Jeff Dunham. | ||
| Famous comedian. | ||
| Okay, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We have confirmed that the Trump statement is not real. | ||
| Unfortunately, so we're not going to read you something that's fake. | ||
| It's a fake Photoshop that's going around. | ||
| When Donald Trump sounds off on this, we will read it to you. | ||
| You're welcome to go read the fake statement if you'd like, but we're going to read it when Donald Trump actually says something. | ||
| You can rest assured that we will have it first and up and fast. | ||
| So, here we go, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| You heard Joe Biden talking to David Muir on ABC News. | ||
| This is the way, and this is how you absolutely know how they're going to play this. | ||
| This is the way that this was covered on ABC News when the verdict broke. | ||
| So, when the verdict broke, ABC News... | ||
| Decided to mule and whine and complain about what? | ||
| The love of a father for his addict son. | ||
| Really, really, it's incredible. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| Not a single word for any of the hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands of young black men that Joe Biden sent to prison to destroy their lives. | ||
| Not a single word for them. | ||
| Nobody was ever crying about the addicts and the sadness of those tales. | ||
| But now this gets trotted out. | ||
| You can literally see the propaganda being created in real time. | ||
| Here's how ABC News covered this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Lady, leave that courthouse holding her son's hand. | |
| It really was, David. | ||
| And it reminds us that for all of the major implications of the first conviction of the child of a president, this is... | ||
| This trial inside the courtroom, like virtually every criminal trial, was a personal tragedy, a family tragedy. | ||
| The guilty verdicts that the jury has handed down on Hunter Biden were verdicts not just on his conduct under law, but on his collapse into drug addiction and the consequences of it. | ||
| So many American families understand that, and now the first family has gone through it as well. | ||
| The political consequences of it may be tempered by the fact that this is... | ||
| This is a scourge that has touched so many American families, even the presidents. | ||
| No. | ||
| No! | ||
| So many American families. | ||
| Didn't care about them until it became politically advantageous for us. | ||
| But now we care. | ||
| We care so much. | ||
| Care so much about addiction. | ||
| Oh, it's so sad. | ||
| What do you mean addiction? | ||
| Do you mean like fentanyl addiction? | ||
| You mean like West Virginia? | ||
| Like coal country? | ||
| You decimated all the jobs and destroyed all the towns. | ||
| Now everybody's addicted to fentanyl. | ||
| You mean that kind of addiction? | ||
| Oh, no, no. | ||
| Screw those people. | ||
| They can all die in their little trailer parks, right? | ||
| That's what you say, right? | ||
| You don't care about them. | ||
| Oh, you care so much about addiction. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Well, then close the border. | ||
| Like, close the border because there are fentanyl factories legitimately on the other side of the Rio Grande and they just pump it into this country, leading to the wholesale slaughter of at least 100,000 people per year. | ||
| Do you care about addiction? | ||
| Well, then close the border, you jackals. | ||
| But no, they don't actually care about addiction. | ||
| Of course they don't care about addiction. | ||
| They don't care about any of this. | ||
| It's pablum. | ||
| It's theater kids. | ||
| Just reading the lines. | ||
| It's a practice in insulting your intelligence and insulting you, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| So... | ||
| This is going to, again, have profound effects. | ||
| I'm not going to buy the spin, obviously. | ||
| I'll buy the guilty verdict. | ||
| I'll take it. | ||
| Okay, I'll take the guilty verdict. | ||
| I don't like what I'm seeing across some on the right. | ||
| Like, but we wanted more! | ||
| Dude, understand the battle you're fighting. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Like, you gotta take the small victories first. | ||
| And then you can roll them up into larger sweeping victories once you actually get institutional power. | ||
| But right now, we have to take the small victories right now. | ||
| Gotta do it. | ||
| Gotta do it. | ||
| Alright, so what will this potentially mean for the political landscape? | ||
| What will this potentially mean for a guy like Joe Biden who has said time and time again that Hunter Biden is the smartest guy that he knows? | ||
| That Hunter Biden is the most honorable, And decent person that I know. | ||
| Yes, just a reminder. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| This is Joe Biden's take. | ||
| Hunter's my heart. | ||
| And Hunter's been through some tough times, but he's fighting. | ||
| He's fighting. | ||
| He's never given up. | ||
| He's the most honorable, decent person I know. | ||
| He's the most honorable, decent person I know. | ||
| The most honorable, decent person I know? | ||
| Really? | ||

Wow. | |
| Okay, ladies and gentlemen, as we await Cash Patel, we have Cash who's jumping onto the program as soon as he is off a prior commitment. | ||
| Of course, nobody was counting on this happening so quickly this morning. | ||
| We do have the actual Donald Trump statement. | ||
| So we do have the statement, and again, we will be joined. | ||
| My producers are telling you, just confirm this, gentlemen, that we will be joined by Donald Trump's attorney, Christina Bob, from the RNC, soon. | ||
| And so stay tuned for that. | ||
| We want to obviously get that reaction. | ||
| Trump campaign statement on Hunter Biden trial verdict and Biden crime family. | ||
| This is the real Donald Trump statement. | ||
| from Caroline Levitt, the Trump campaign national press secretary. | ||
| This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden family, which have raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia, Ukraine, crooked Joe Biden's reign over the. | ||
| A Biden family criminal empire is coming to an end on November 5th. | ||
| And never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit. | ||
| You know what that sounds like? | ||
| It sounds like a threat. | ||
| That sounds like we're going to have... | ||
| There's going to be a special counsel put in place in Washington, D.C. to take on a moment like this and to take on the Biden crime family. | ||
| So that is the official Donald Trump statement. | ||
| That is the official statement of the Trump campaign saying that we will never again have a Biden sell access to our government for profit. | ||
| I like going on offense here, right? | ||
| I have the capacity and the luxury of celebrating, but this, ladies and gentlemen, I think is very good. | ||
| They're going directly on offense. | ||
| I wonder if Donald Trump will bring this up. | ||
| Will Donald Trump bring this up during the debates? | ||
| I'm going to get the Joe Biden ask the right questions clip from the Iowa State Fair. | ||
| Man, that is such a good one. | ||
| Just a reminder exactly how hard the Bidens may be taking this. | ||
| You gotta see this old clip of Joe. | ||
| Okay, here we go. | ||
| What are they saying about the ramifications, potentially, of all of this? | ||
| The ramifications, ladies and gentlemen, on CNN, the pundits are saying, well, Republicans may regret this. | ||
| Because it could lead to stricter gun laws. | ||
| Very interesting debate here. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||

Republicans have been saying all along, two-tiered justice system. | |
| Two-tiered justice system. | ||
| Here's the president's son, prosecuted by federal government. | ||
| Convicted by a jury. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Does that undercut that argument? | |
| I think it does a little bit, but not only as a Republican strategist, I also own a firearms company. | ||
| And I can tell you many individuals in the 2A community welcome this case, and we hope that Hunter Biden takes this up to the Supreme Court, because we believe that because of brewing, which was written by a conservative Justice Thomas, that this case is going to be overturned. | ||
| We also believe... | ||
| That the Supreme Court will likely change or at least issue some new rulings that will make it a little more difficult for some individuals who may want stricter gun laws as a result of this. | ||
| The court was pretty clear when they said any gun restrictions must be within the historical context of regulation. | ||
| That is not indeed the case here. | ||
| Tim mentioned the 2023 court decision from the Fifth Circuit. | ||
| They made it clear you cannot restrict someone who utilizes an illegal substance from gun ownership, which is why I thought it was very bizarre that this case was even brought anyway, were it not for his last name being Biden, I don't think the trial would have ever occurred. | ||
| Wild. | ||
| What a crazy clip. | ||
| I couldn't disagree more, but this is Washington, D.C. Republican consultants for you, right? | ||
| If you're a Republican consultant, welcome on CNN. | ||
| What does that say about you? | ||
| So here you have the Republican consultant saying that this is going to be overturned. | ||
| I don't understand how this is a bad thing for the 2A community. | ||
| The 2A community should be cheering this on because nobody... | ||
| Do you own a firearm? | ||
| I bet you do. | ||
| Do you want the prosecution of people who dump firearms in trash cans next to high schools? | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Nobody wants that. | ||
| You're going to give me that school. | ||
| Every single time that an irresponsible crackhead like Hunter Biden abuses the firearm system and the ability to legally purchase and own firearms in this country is another brick in the wall for them to try and limit all of our firearm purchasing. | ||
| So I am very pro the prosecution of gun criminals, like actual criminals, people who criminally mismanage. | ||
| Or make our streets or our country less safe over their negligence and stupidity with firearms. | ||
| Not the vast preponderance 99.99999% of firearm owners who are deeply cautious and careful and responsible with their firearms. | ||
| This is the paradigm that happens. | ||
| They blame the rest of us for the Hunter Bidens of the world. | ||
| So I don't know what the hell that guy was talking about. | ||
| Like, this should not be over. | ||
| Hunter Biden should go to prison for this. | ||
| Like, and that's a very good thing. | ||
| I don't want irresponsible. | ||
| I don't want a bunch of guns left in trash cans by schools. | ||
| That's a good thing. | ||
| No firearm owner wants that. | ||
| No firearm owner wants a bunch of, like, crackheads to be able to go in and lie on their forms and get guns. | ||
| That's not the way it's supposed to be. | ||
| That's not the country you want to live in. | ||
| So, good, actually. | ||
| Weird clip there, guys. | ||
| Strange one. | ||
| Here's another strange clip and an insight into exactly what's going on in what's left of Joe Biden's brainstem right now. | ||
| Joe Biden talking in Iowa to Fox News whilst he was running for president. | ||
| Remember, Joe Biden came in fifth in Iowa, and he came in fourth in New Hampshire, and his campaign was effectively completely finished until... | ||
| The DNC just decided to, from a corporate perspective, rig everything in his favor and then give Bernie Sanders another beach house, right, to drop out. | ||
| Joe Biden in Iowa being asked way back when, this is a four-year-old clip about his son Hunter's crimes, and the response tells you everything. | ||
| Mr. Vice President, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? | ||
| I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. | ||
| And so how do you know? | ||
| Here's what I know. | ||
| I know Trump deserves to be investigated. | ||
| He is violating every basic norm of a president. | ||
| You should be asking him the question, why is he on the phone with a foreign leader, trying to intimidate a foreign leader, if that's what happened. | ||
| That appears what happened. | ||
| You should be looking at... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump. | |
| Trump's doing this because he knows I'll beat him like a drum. | ||
| And he's using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me. | ||
| Everybody looked at this and everybody's looked at it and said there's nothing there. | ||
| Ask the right questions. | ||
| Ask the right questions. | ||
| What an incredible privilege. | ||
| Man, you want to talk about privilege? | ||
| It's having your senator or daddy spring you from jail again and again and again, like Hunter Biden's had his entire Nepo baby life. | ||
| You want to talk about privilege, dude? | ||
| Privilege is being able to, like, look at reporters and, like, scream at them, ask the right questions. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| And then behaving like this. | ||
| When reporters begin to ask the right questions about your family, here's Mike Allen. | ||
| Of Axios pressing ever so lightly on Joe Biden, not buying the initial barrage that's put up in defense of his crime family. | ||
| And then watch how enraged Joe Biden gets at the just light questioning of the criminality of his family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hunter Biden, your son, was getting paid a lot of money. | |
| To serve on the board of a Ukrainian energy company facing serious corruption charges, you were the vice president running point on Ukraine. | ||
| The average Joe hears that and says that sounds fishy. | ||
| What's your understanding of what your son was doing for an extraordinary amount of money? | ||
| I don't know what he was doing. | ||
| I know he was on the board. | ||
| I found out he was on the board after he was on the board. | ||
| And that was it. | ||
| And there's nobody... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you've had a lot of time. | |
| Isn't this something you want to get to the bottom of? | ||
| No, because I trust my son. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But that doesn't pass the smell test. | |
| When you're vice president, isn't there a higher standard? | ||
| Don't you need to know what's happening with your family? | ||
| Don't you need to put down some guardrails? | ||
| Unless there was something on its face that was wrong. | ||
| There's nothing on its face that was wrong. | ||
| Look, if you want to talk about problems, let's talk about Trump's family. | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| These guys are amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you think that everything that happened was kosher? | |
| You know there's not one single bit of evidence, not one little tiny bit, to say anything done was wrong. | ||
| There's not one little tiny bit, not one little bit of evidence that anything that Hunter Biden did was wrong. | ||
| Uh, well, that clip did not age well. | ||
| Somebody who has aged very well and somebody who's part of an organization that is really just doing all of the heavy muscle lifting on the legal front for ensuring that there is legal accountability for criminals on both sides of the aisle. | ||
| But just in general, that there is some measure of accountability when it comes from the right, ladies and gentlemen, is the article. | ||
| three project senior counsel josh hammer who joins the program now Josh, you guys have done such great work, man, with the Article 3 project. | ||
| And, you know, I don't know exactly what interactions you've had in this case or if you filed any briefs in this case, but I'm sure you've been following it very closely. | ||
| It came as a big shock to us, and I want to get your takeaways as an attorney. | ||
| Yeah, Benny, thanks for having me. | ||
| So we have been tracking very closely at the Article 3 Project. | ||
| We've been tracking very closely on my daily legal lawfare show, America on Trial with Josh Amersla. | ||
| I've been all over this case. | ||
| You know, Benny, a lot of our fellow conservatives have been, I think, quickly dismissing this case, saying it's kind of a show trial. | ||
| It's no big deal. | ||
| And, you know, they're obviously correct to an extent. | ||
| I mean, the special counsel, David Weiss, decided not to pursue charges for Hunter Biden's obvious blatant foreign influence peddling Burisma, $83,000 a month, Ukraine. | ||
| The infamous text to the Chinese guy, you know, the big guy. | ||
| So they chose to let that go. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| Point taken. | ||
| But, Benny, the reason why I have been paying very close attention to this trial and the reason that I am relieved and, yes, I have to say I'm a little bit surprised by the fact that there was a guilty verdict today, but as a lawyer, as a former federal law clerk, by the way, on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit who actually worked, our court worked on gun cases just like this, Hunter Biden was... | ||
| Absolutely dead to rights. | ||
| This was not a close call at all. | ||
| You know, I followed the trial closely day in and day out. | ||
| The Hunter Biden legal defense, Benny, was comical. | ||
| They were basically saying, oh, you know what? | ||
| He was like a drug addict in like September of 2018. | ||
| And then, oh, by the way, yeah, he had like another relapse like a few days after the gun. | ||
| But no, take our word for it. | ||
| At the exact day in October 2018 where he purchased the gun, he was not a user of a controlled substance as the relevant statute 18 U.S. Code 922 defines it. | ||
| Give me a break. | ||
| Give me a freaking break. | ||
| So the reason that I've been paying close attention to this is because he is so comically dead to rights on these charges that this was actually going to be a last dying gasp to see if our justice system had any life left in it. | ||
| And, you know, I have to say I'm a little bit surprised, but here we are talking about it. | ||
| We got the right result. | ||
| Now let's see if he goes to prison. | ||
| That's the next big question, obviously. | ||
| So I couldn't agree with you more. | ||
| I think that oftentimes our movement is one that can't take a W. And can't accept a win and is perpetually screeching and screaming about what should have happened in some grandiose strategy. | ||
| But there is no grandiose strategy. | ||
| You must win small battles to win a major war. | ||
| And you have to win these little incremental battles are important. | ||
| Like having a piece of the armor ripped off. | ||
| Finding a Biden guilty on these charges is a good thing. | ||
| This is the first time a Biden's been found guilty on these charges, and it has happened in their backyard in a city where every person from the bum on the street to the mayor owes the Bidens a favor. | ||
| They were able to return a guilty on all counts verdict, and that really says something. | ||
| Yeah, it really does. | ||
| It absolutely does. | ||
| I mean, look, these are jurors from Wilmington, Delaware. | ||
| Wilmington is where the Biden-Harris campaign is located. | ||
| That's a big deal. | ||
| I mean, that is a big deal that a jury of one's peers just found the most famous family in the entire state of Delaware guilty. | ||
| Admittedly, again, it's not the FARA stuff. | ||
| It's not Ukraine, China. | ||
| But still. | ||
| The guy blatantly lied on an ATF background check form. | ||
| I'm a gun owner. | ||
| Everyone who's ever bought a gun knows exactly what we're talking about here. | ||
| You check that box. | ||
| It's a very well-known thing. | ||
| The dude blatantly lied, and he's going to pay some... | ||
| You know, some to be determined price for it. | ||
| So it's a good win. | ||
| You know, again, as a lawyer myself, as someone who clerked on a federal court of appeals, as someone who still speaks to law schools all across the country, this makes me happy. | ||
| This is a good day because it restores some faith for me in the justice system. | ||
| Is everything perfect out there? | ||
| No. | ||
| I'm not going to pretend like it's better than it is. | ||
| Obviously, the lawfare against Donald Trump is disgusting. | ||
| A lot of good people on our side, everyone from Steve Bannon to my friend John Eastman, they're getting prosecuted, sent to jail. | ||
| It's all disgusting. | ||
| But as you said, Benny, a lot of folks on our side, Can't take a win. | ||
| This is a win right now, and we should take it. | ||
| Yeah, so can you talk me through what sentencing looks like? | ||
| The 25-year number keeps being thrown around. | ||
| Is that unlikely? | ||
| I know that the federal government does not sniff at gun charges and takes it quite seriously. | ||
| Yeah, so guns, drugs, I mean, these are some of the most common federal prosecutions out there. | ||
| No doubt about it. | ||
| I mean, this is kind of a bread-and-butter federal prosecutor's case right here. | ||
| So 25 years, that is the maximum under the sentencing guidelines for these three felony counts. | ||
| Is he going to get it as a first-time offender? | ||
| I mean, massive air quotes there because the guy's been on the wrong side of the law for many decades, but as a first-time actually sentenced and convicted offender? | ||
| Look, he's probably not going to get the full 25 years. | ||
| That's typically not how it works. | ||
| The real question is, is he going to get any time, or is he just going to get a slap on the wrist and just get a home confinement, probation, mandatory drug treatment, rehab kind of thing? | ||
| And I will be very let down if it is the latter. | ||
| I think that we on the right, but we more generally on the side that is pro-rule of law, that wants to see the law actually apply to everyone, no matter what your ideology, no matter what your wealth, your social class, your connections, this, that. | ||
| We should be rooting for prison time here. | ||
| We're not going to get 25 years. | ||
| That would be great, obviously. | ||
| We're not going to get it. | ||
| But we have to see something here. | ||
| And then the question, obviously, is if there is some meaningful prison time, call it 6 to 12 months or more than that, or ideally more than that, of course, is Joe Biden going to pardon? | ||
| Well, I don't think he can before the election at a bare minimum, but don't be surprised if he does so the day after the election, Benny. | ||
| So a pocket pardon maybe on his way out of office or something like that. | ||
| Brett Tolman. | ||
| Who's also a federal prosecutor who's been on the program talking about the enormous number of gun crimes and violations that he's brought and how slam dunk they are from a federal perspective. | ||
| How the judges don't even bat an eye. | ||
| On a gun charge, the judges that he's worked with just give you whatever you ask for. | ||
| Because people take this stuff very, very seriously when you're lying on your federal NICS forms. | ||
| And so I guess they're... | ||
| They are in a very tough position here because Joe Biden has made it a tentpole issue to go after gun criminals, right? | ||
| Every other weekend, Josh, there's like a new gun criminals gun event at the White House to demonize legal law-abiding gun owners. | ||
| And now Joe Biden's only surviving son is a convicted gun criminal. | ||
| It puts them in a weird spot, right? | ||
| Yeah, it really does. | ||
| And it's actually even weirder than that. | ||
| And I'll explain to you why. | ||
| So the Hunter Biden legal defense was a little bit shambolic and all over the map because they probably knew deep down that their client was completely guilty of all these charges. | ||
| So what they mainly tried to do was to impeach the credibility of the government's witnesses. | ||
| So that would be, for example, Beau Biden's widow. | ||
| That was then Hunter Biden's girlfriend. | ||
| Then they tried to impeach the credibility of the stripper who said that she saw Hunter Biden doing crack every 20 minutes. | ||
| And then they just tried to sow some evidentiary seeds of doubt and say, no, he actually was sober around that time. | ||
| But when they couldn't do the witness impeaching or the fact doubt sowing, then they relied on an interesting legal theory that essentially goes as follows, which is that the statutes with which Hunter Biden was being prosecuted were unconstitutional, either facially or at least as applied here. | ||
| And what that means is that it's unconstitutional. | ||
| Because the Second Amendment prohibits it. | ||
| They were actually ironically taking like an NRA-style Second Amendment absolutist argument, which is deeply, deeply ironic and quite humorous for anyone who knows anything whatsoever about the history of Joe Biden's career as a longtime senator from Delaware, where he was one of the loudest proponents of gun control in the entire U.S. Senate. | ||
| So the whole thing is kind of dripping rich with irony, frankly. | ||
| So yeah, how do you possibly argue that? | ||
| I mean, perhaps I'm naive on this. | ||
| But it does seem like there is no argument and that Joe Biden would suffer some real immense political backlash for pardoning his kid here. | ||
| Again, maybe I'm naive. | ||
| So I think he can't do it. | ||
| I think you're right. | ||
| I do not think that he can pardon his son, at least before the election. | ||
| I mean, I'm so cynical that I not only... | ||
| I anticipate, but I fully expect that he will pardon Hunter on his way out the door, or if he's re-elected, basically the day after, too. | ||
| I mean, once he is no longer up to the voters, when there's no more electoral accountability, he'll probably go ahead and pardon him. | ||
| But right now, he can't do it. | ||
| Look, Benny, he's struggling as it is to retain black and other racial minority voters in his coalition. | ||
| A lot of them are trickling off the Trump. | ||
| You know, how do you think a black or Hispanic person who has like a cousin or a good friend in jail, how are they going to feel when they see the president pardon his son, but their family member or friend is rotting behind a jail cell? | ||
| It's not going to be a So, what happens in a Trump... | ||
| Let's say that you get a real attorney general in there and a real special counsel appointed to look into these real crimes. | ||
| And we saw sort of the astonishing gymnastics and aerobics that the court system was able to go through in order to increase the statute of limitations with Donald Trump in New York. | ||
| If you had a real special prosecutor, what could still be on the menu? | ||
| For going after Hunter Biden in a, again, January 20th, 2025, Trump administration. | ||
| So it's going to depend on exactly what charges you go for, obviously. | ||
| But, I mean, FARA is kind of the big one here. | ||
| So this is Foreign Agents Registration Act. | ||
| It seems to many of us that Hunter Biden was clearly acting as some sort of Ukrainian agent, for instance, when he was taking eighty three thousand dollars a month from Burisma while he was simultaneously orchestrating meetings between Burisma and his his father, who was the vice president United States. | ||
| So, you know, come January twenty twenty five, that's going to get up on 10 years. | ||
| years. | ||
| I'm not entirely positive off the top of my head what the FARA statute of limitations is. | ||
| It's probably right around 10 to 15 years or something like that. | ||
| So hopefully that's not off the books. | ||
| You would need Congress to then statutorily amend the statute of limitations, which Probably is not going to happen, to be honest with you. | ||
| So you might be, I mean, the nature of prosecution is that the more time you wait, you know, the fewer options you are going to have. | ||
| But having said that, you're going to have options here. | ||
| I mean, there's going to be some laws that are going to pop up there, and that would be a very, very good, wise use of the prosecutorial resources for a day one Trump administration. | ||
| Look, Benny, I want to get us back to a neutral enforcement of the rule of law in this country to the extent that it ever existed at all, but it definitely used to be a lot better than it is now. | ||
| And you have to do some mutually assured destruction to get us back to this point. | ||
| And I know that you understand that, but you're going to have to bloody up some noses just to get us back to that neutral playing field. | ||
| And there is no nose that is more ripe for being bloodied, frankly, than Hunter Biden and his foreign influence peddling. | ||
| Yeah, because it's quite clear that that nose has been doing a lot of work following the evidence of this case. | ||
| And so finally here, Josh, just a real quick takeaway. | ||
| What does this mean? | ||
| For the fragility of the actual Biden regime. | ||
| I, again, we found this verdict out live as soon as we started the show. | ||
| My jaw was on the ground and I had to pick it up off the ground. | ||
| I was quite shocked. | ||
| And I was shocked because if you're following this trial as close as you have, you realize that the government really, really put their shoulder into this one. | ||
| Brought forward the laptop. | ||
| The FBI said we have 18,000 pages of data that have been taken from the laptop to be used at any time against this family. | ||
| This to me, the three, the three dimensional, four dimensional chess here, it seems like there are forces at play that are either sending warning signs to the Bidens like get the hell out of the I guess I'll leave that to your legal pontification. | ||
| Look, so the base... | ||
| Level reading as to what just happened is what I said earlier, which is that this is a very good day. | ||
| Take the W. It's a great day for the justice system. | ||
| Again, it's not perfect. | ||
| I mean, it is still horribly off balance, and we're going to have to try to work on that over the mid to long term. | ||
| But for now, let's take the win. | ||
| This is a good vindication that there is still some legitimacy left in the entire system, which is a good thing if you're a conservative. | ||
| It's a good thing if you're pro-rule of law. | ||
| It's a good thing if you're pro-constitution. | ||
| The slightly darker, more cynical twist as to what happened today and as to what has probably happened with this whole trial in the first place is that the prosecutorial apparatus, the deep state, whatever you want to call it, they're trying to basically get the Democratic Party and the Biden regime to throw this prodigal son, Hunter Biden out as a useful sacrificial lamb to try to then bamboozle conservatives into thinking that things are actually better than they are. | ||
| That's a little too far down the rabbit hole for me, to be honest with you, because as you said, the federal prosecutors did want to whip out the laptop at trial here. | ||
| They repeatedly said no one is above the law. | ||
| I mean, they said and did all the right things, and they got their unanimous guilty conviction. | ||
| So I'm not quite, quite, quite cynical enough to go that full dark route, but it is lingering in the back of my mind, I guess I will say. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There's always... | ||
| I've decided in my older age here, the older I get, the wiser I get, the more I realize the government is never acting on the side of the angels. | ||
| It's not like they came to their senses. | ||
| There's this, there's always something that's happening that's leading to a result. | ||
| And it allows me to be quite the skeptic actually in, in, in, in my, in my older years here, Josh, they're quite the skeptic. | ||
| So we've decided to be skeptic on these things. | ||
| But again, we will celebrate the W with you, the article three project, such an incredible organization. | ||
| Everybody follow Josh Hammer, 122,000 Americans can't be wrong. | ||
| A patriot and a fighter, uh, Godspeed, Benny. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| you you Ladies and gentlemen, okay, here we go. | ||
| Joining us now, a guest that we are very, very excited to have on the program, Christina Bobb, the former Trump attorney and somebody who is just such an absolute fighter for you and for me and for the president. | ||
| very interesting to hear what Christina has to say joining the program live now. | ||
| you you you you Christina, thank you so much for hopping on. | ||
| We've been licking our chops, to be quite honest. | ||
| When it comes to this day, we didn't think we'd see it. | ||
| Perhaps there's something that we're missing, but we've decided to just take the W and to say this is... | ||
| This is good. | ||
| This is a good result. | ||
| Perhaps we're missing something. | ||
| I'd love to get your legal take. | ||
| Yeah, no, I think you're exactly right. | ||
| It's one of those things where you go, okay, well, I'll take the win and, you know, let's move forward. | ||
| But I don't want to pretend like this is justice. | ||
| Certainly there's an aspect of justice that was done here. | ||
| Hunter Biden was guilty of what he was accused of, which was lying on his form when he purchased this gun. | ||
| He checked the box saying he was not addicted or not using any drugs. | ||
| And in fact, he was... | ||
| So that's a win. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| But what about all of the FARA violations? | ||
| What about all of the foreign dealing? | ||
| What about all of the money and the potential bribery pay-to-play schemes that the Biden family was using? | ||
| I don't want to forget about that. | ||
| Yes, I want to take the win and say, great, you know, some element of justice was done, but let's not pretend like... | ||
| He's off the hook. | ||
| And if you remember from early in the case, they were actually trying to give him a plea deal where he could never be charged with all of the other crimes he's committed, which are substantially more significant than what we're seeing here. | ||
| So I'm not trying to be too zealous in this, but it's a good result, but I don't think we're done yet. | ||
| I mean, I like going on offense. | ||
| This very much is like a clue game where the most obvious game of clue, like the crack cocaine's on the gun. | ||
| Like the crack's on the gun. | ||
| The federal government presented the evidence. | ||
| You can see the crack on the gun. | ||
| We have the photos. | ||
| We put it up on the show. | ||
| So, yeah, it's like the most obvious game of clue. | ||
| And they got it right. | ||
| I just never thought that I'd see a member of the ruling class and a member of the Biden family. | ||
| Especially in a Wilmington courthouse, face a guilty verdict, a unanimous guilty verdict. | ||
| Yeah, I think there's a couple things potentially going on. | ||
| And of course, I don't know. | ||
| I wasn't a juror, so I don't know what they were thinking or how they were deliberating. | ||
| But one, I think, to your point, the evidence was so overwhelming that I don't think... | ||
| Anybody who wanted or was willing to do mental gymnastics to pretend like Hunter Biden wasn't guilty and that this is somehow a sympathy case for an addict, the evidence was so overwhelming, you could not make those leaps. | ||
| You couldn't make those jumps to say, you know what, let's let him off on this one. | ||
| The other aspect I heard another commenter say on this that I thought was very interesting was maybe the jury. | ||
| Just is aware of what's going on and was like, you know, if we don't convict him, all hell is going to break loose because everybody can see how biased the justice system has become that maybe they're just like, we have to convict him. | ||
| And could you imagine if they actually came back and acquitted? | ||
| If they gave Hunter Biden an acquittal? | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Like, heads would explode. | ||
| So, you know, I don't know what happened in the jury room. | ||
| I think there's probably—it's probably somewhere in between that. | ||
| But he was guilty, and they came to the right verdict, and I'm grateful for it. | ||
| So your former boss, Donald Trump, has a statement out from the official campaign account. | ||
| Hunter Biden has a statement out. | ||
| The statements are— Quite different, but the statement from the campaign account effectively matching what you said earlier that there needs to be real accountability for the real crimes here, which is you were acting on behalf of Ukraine and Kazakhstan and Russia and China, and you weren't declaring that, and then you were acting against the United States by... | ||
| I mean, one of the deals was selling off our natural resources to China, trying to sell an LNG port in Houston and give all of our natural gas to our geopolitical enemy in China. | ||
| I mean, this was just one of the many schemes. | ||
| The $3 million from the mayor of Moscow's wife and so on and so forth. | ||
| And so I guess my question to you is, from a legal perspective, what accountability can still happen? | ||
| Could a special counsel be appointed on January 20, 2025, when Donald Trump is sworn into office? | ||
| Well, sure. | ||
| I think there's a lot of evidence out there that there are very significant indicators that the Biden family was committing significant crimes collaborating with our adversaries, collaborating with China, with Russia, with Kazakhstan, with Ukraine, with all of that. | ||
| And to the extent that they want to claim some sort of statute of limitations, I think there's plenty of statute of limitations arguments. | ||
| One, depending on the crime that... | ||
| You don't pick a crime and then try to investigate to match the crime. | ||
| You have to just investigate and see what comes out. | ||
| We don't know exactly what would come out. | ||
| We can't really get into any statute of limitations issues until we know what the evidence actually points to. | ||
| And then to the extent that there is a statute of limitations issue, I think the fact that the Bidens were in control of the Department of Justice, they're not going to prosecute themselves. | ||
| So I think there's a very reasonable possibility to try to toll any potential statute of limitations. | ||
| And I wouldn't be surprised if some of the crimes are egregious enough that you don't need to worry about the statute of limitations. | ||
| That's very interesting, especially coming from you, because you've served in such a capacity for the president as somebody who's been on his legal defense and represented presumably in a second Trump administration. | ||
| Perhaps you'd be there at the DOJ looking into these things. | ||
| Can you talk me through your last comment there? | ||
| Because you just said maybe there is no statute of limitations. | ||
| Can you unpack that for us? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Well, and I can't speak for Donald Trump. | ||
| I don't know what he's going to do and what he's going to appoint and try to investigate. | ||
| But as far as Americans that are concerned and say, hey, we want... | ||
| Hunter Biden and whoever was selling information to our adversaries who want them held accountable, I think they should be investigated. | ||
| And I think you need either a special counsel or, imagine that, just the Department of Justice doing their job investigating into foreign dealings. | ||
| I think there needs to be an investigation into what occurred. | ||
| And then as that investigation unfolds, then you figure out, you know, what you want to do with it. | ||
| And Donald Trump, when he's back in office, he can appoint whoever he wants and handle... | ||
| I want to be careful about it because I'm not in any way trying to say, they prosecuted us, let's go prosecute them. | ||
| I think that's a very slippery slope that I want to be very careful with and not charge forward with that. | ||
| But we do have to come... | ||
| Come up with some way that people are held accountable. | ||
| Because for far too long, conservatives have said, oh, shucks, we don't hold our political opponents accountable, so we're going to keep letting everybody get away with everything. | ||
| And before you know it, you have record-setting indictments, you have record-setting criminal convictions on both sides, whether it's the first son or the leading candidate on the Republican side. | ||
| It descends into chaos. | ||
| And so we have to get back to justice. | ||
| We have to get back to accountability. | ||
| However Donald Trump chooses to facilitate that, I fully support him. | ||
| At the bare minimum, I think we need investigations into all of these foreign dealings. | ||
| What actually happened? | ||
| The fact that the Department of Justice has had Hunter Biden's laptop since 2019. | ||
| They knew the contents. | ||
| They knew that it was real. | ||
| They had 51 intelligence officials who lied to the American public for the purpose of swaying the outcome of the 2020 election, which, based on polling in, say, December of 2020, said, had the public known that the laptop was real, they would have voted differently. | ||
| And that alone changed the outcome of the election. | ||
| So all of what has happened in the last four years, the chaos that has descended on this nation is directly tied to all of this. | ||
| And it all needs to be investigated. | ||
| I, you bring up such a great point, Christina. | ||
| It's such a profound point. | ||
| Like the use of the special counsel, if you look back at like The issue was shot dead forever. | ||
| You should be okay with a special counsel investigation into the Clinton Foundation, into Jeffrey Epstein, into the Bidens. | ||
| If you are innocent, then you have nothing to hide, as President Trump would regularly say. | ||
| And three years, I know it was a big pain in the ass, but the special counsel, Right. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| Appoint every special counselor is. | ||
| Let's find the answers, right? | ||
| If you're innocent, you have nothing to hide. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And certainly you want to make sure that if you're appointing a special counsel or doing investigation, the point is to investigate. | ||
| The point is not to target a person and say, what crime can we say this person committed? | ||
| Which is what they've done to Donald Trump and say, we want to investigate how Donald Trump colluded with Russia. | ||
| Okay, no. | ||
| What you need to do is look at the facts and say, okay, we have information that money from China ended up in Joe Biden's bank account and that, you know, there's money from Kazakhstan that ended up in Hunter Biden's control and possession with his business partner, Devon Archer and Bob Alinsky and all of this stuff. | ||
| Just investigate the information. | ||
| And then when you come to the conclusion, that's when you figure out. | ||
| It's not appointing a special counsel to investigate Joe Biden. | ||
| It's appointing a special counsel to investigate illegal foreign dealings within the United States government. | ||
| We all know the conclusion will likely be Joe Biden, but you can't start with that premise. | ||
| So the president will face off in days with Joe Biden on a debate stage. | ||
| I know this is putting you on the spot here, but how would you advise him to talk about this issue of Hunter Biden? | ||
| He has brought it up on a stage with Joe Biden before Hunter Biden. | ||
| Donald Trump? | ||
| I cannot in any way try to advise Donald Trump on this. | ||
| He is the master at this. | ||
| He has the most amazing instincts and he handles this so well. | ||
| I think the statement that they put out really is threading that needle and is hitting the point that needs to be hit, which is, that's great. | ||
| We got the win. | ||
| It's great that the jury held Hunter Biden accountable, but this isn't what he needs to be held accountable for. | ||
| And I think that's the vein that he needs to go down as far as how he does that. | ||
| Donald Trump is the master of this. | ||
| That's why they don't like him. | ||
| They don't like his mean tweets. | ||
| They don't like the fact that he's very... | ||
| He's crafty and he's funny and he comes up with funny things on the fly and they don't like that. | ||
| And I anticipate that he'll do that on the debate stage. | ||
| It'll be great. | ||
| It'll be a show. | ||
| I mean, I have no idea why they're letting Joe Biden do it unless they have something planned. | ||
| Like Donald Trump's going to run circles around him, but it'll be fun for us. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| Joe Biden, every single week, Joe Biden has a new gun criminals event at the White House and talking about how horrible gun crime is. | ||
| Well, now it hits home, Joe. | ||
| So Hunter Biden might be sentenced to 25 years. | ||
| We'll see what happens in the tax case in California. | ||
| I want to get your comments on the sentencing of President Trump just days before the GOP convention in New York, just shifting gears here. | ||
| What is your thoughts on that? | ||
| What do you believe will happen? | ||
| Is there a strategy there? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Well, his trial team in New York, I'm sure, has a strategy. | ||
| I think they want to confine him in some way. | ||
| I don't know that they will end up doing that. | ||
| But you can see what they want to do by hearing the liberal pundits in these mainstream media that are like, oh, Donald Trump in jail. | ||
| They get so excited about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like a psychosexual fetish for these people. | |
| Bizarre thing. | ||
| They come up with the craziest dreams and schemes that they want to happen and talk about him on television, and then none of them ever actually materialize. | ||
| So I think they want to confine him in some way, but I don't think they will. | ||
| I think they know it's bad for the country. | ||
| I think they know it's bad. | ||
| Quite honestly, it's bad for the election. | ||
| But if they do try to do that... | ||
| You know, the $400 million that Donald Trump has raised in the last few days will look like pennies compared to what happens. | ||
| The convention in Milwaukee will be the biggest blowout convention that the RNC has ever seen. | ||
| I think the support for Donald Trump at that point. | ||
| I mean, at that point, it's just like... | ||
| It's just fun because you can see the government scrambling and it's just kind of fun to be the little guy when you see the government scrambling, right? | ||
| And I say that as far as like from a voter's perspective. | ||
| Voters want to be the one that's like, yeah, we're taking on the man, right? | ||
| Well, I mean, they're making it pretty clear that that's what's happening right now. | ||
| So I think anything they try to do to him will backfire massively. | ||
| So I think they should recognize that by this point. | ||
| They've only had about 10 years to figure that out. | ||
| So I don't think that they'll actually confine him or really do anything too substantial. | ||
| But if they do, it will only be a boost for Donald Trump. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, I wanted to give... | ||
| I mean, you seem like a... | ||
| Every time you're on the program, Christina, you've faced so much on behalf of the president. | ||
| You've faced so much. | ||
| We would call it, like, truly the heart of darkness or evil. | ||
| And you're always chipper. | ||
| You're always cheerful. | ||
| You're, like, optimistic, sunny side. | ||
| Up, glass half full, silver linings. | ||
| And so I'd love to give you, just in closing here, an opportunity to tell us what's the path forward five months to the general election? | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| You know Donald Trump about as well as anybody. | ||
| Worked for him legally for years. | ||
| Can you give us sort of a trajectory and an outlook forward through the general? | ||
| Well, I think Democrats are desperate. | ||
| I think they're going to do a lot of desperate things to try to scare us. | ||
| I mean, I've seen it up close and personal that they work very hard to scare you to voluntarily surrender your rights. | ||
| They want to scare you out of participating and being part of government and trying to hold your government leaders accountable. | ||
| And so I think they're going to try to make it scary because that's the only tactic that they really know how to use. | ||
| And for so long, we've fallen for it. | ||
| You know, we're going to see some things where they're going to try to make it dark. | ||
| But I absolutely believe Donald Trump is going to prevail. | ||
| I believe truth prevails. | ||
| I do not believe America is over. | ||
| I think we have our best days are ahead of us. | ||
| I truly, truly believe that, even though I'm looking down the barrel of nine felony indictments myself. | ||
| And I do believe that our best days are ahead of us. | ||
| But it takes all of us getting involved. | ||
| So I just want to. | ||
| Push out there to everybody watching. | ||
| Get involved in your local elections. | ||
| Sign up with your county officials, with your state GOP or your county GOPs or a grassroots organization. | ||
| I know, Benny, you work closely with Turning Point. | ||
| They're great. | ||
| Get involved because this is an all-hands-on-deck moment. | ||
| It's going to take every single one of us to right this ship, but we will right it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| You love to hear it. | ||
| It's uplifting, and you have been through so much. | ||
| You do have the greatest avatar in all social media. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, you must go follow. | ||

| Some wild breaking news. | ||
| We got a press conference for David Weiss, who is the special counsel. | ||
| We got a press conference, ladies and gentlemen, live. | ||
| David Weiss, the special counsel, who was just able to get the guilty verdict on Hunter Biden. | ||
| Let's go to that, and let's watch together. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|

Here we go. | |
| Never heard him speak. | ||

My name is David Weiss. | |
| I'm special counsel. | ||
| Earlier today, Hunter Biden was convicted of two counts of lying on a form submitted to a federal firearms dealer about his addiction or use of crack cocaine and possessing a firearm while a user or addict. | ||
| There have been two overarching themes emphasized by the prosecution during trial. | ||
| This defendant's illegal choices and the rule of law. | ||
| First, while there has been much testimony about the defendant's abuse of drugs and alcohol, ultimately this case was not just about addiction, a disease that haunts families across the United States, including Hunter Biden's family. | ||
| This case was about the illegal choices defendant made while in the throes of addiction. | ||
| His choice to lie on a government forum when he bought a gun and the choice to then possess that gun. | ||
| It was these choices and the combination of guns and drugs that made his conduct dangerous. | ||
| Second, no one in this country is above the law. | ||
| Everyone must be accountable for their actions, even this defendant. | ||
| However, Hunter Biden should be no more accountable than any other citizen convicted of this same conduct. | ||
| The prosecution has been and will continue to be committed to this principle and to the principles of federal prosecution in carrying out its responsibilities. | ||
| I want to thank the jury for their service. | ||
| There are few civic responsibilities more important than jury service. | ||
| 15 Delawareans came to court each day. | ||
| And perform their responsibilities in a professional and conscientious manner. | ||
| We thank them. | ||
| I want to thank Derek Hines, Leo Wise, and the entire special counsel team. | ||
| I am so proud of this group of attorneys, agents, and litigation professionals. | ||
| This is a difficult assignment. | ||
| These folks have been working seven days a week for the last couple months litigating a variety of issues in district And appellate courts on two coasts. | ||
| They have given their heart and soul to this work. | ||
| They represent the best that public service has to offer. | ||
| I am incredibly grateful. | ||
| Finally, I want to thank Attorney General Garland for providing the support necessary to fulfill our mission, ensuring that we have the independence to appropriately pursue our investigations and prosecutions. | ||
| As you know, We have additional trials and investigative work to be done. | ||
| So I will not entertain questions at this time. | ||
| Our work continues. | ||
| Thank you for your consideration. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Was that Mike McCormick? | ||
| There. | ||
| It sounded like our friend Mike McCormick there asking a question. | ||
| So, all right. | ||
| All right. | ||
| That was David Weiss. | ||
| Kind of exactly what you thought he'd be. | ||
| David Weiss is the little gremlin federal servant boy. | ||
| Who has been doing everything that he possibly can to hide and cover for the Bidens, to go soft as a down pillow on Hunter Biden, and to try and cut a deal. | ||
| And they were this close, cut a deal with Hunter Biden in order to get off on all these charges, along with get immunity for pretty much everything under the sun from the federal government. | ||
| And they weren't able to do it. | ||
| Hunter Biden blew it all up. | ||
| And part of the reason why they weren't able to do it was because of, one, George Noriega, who sniffed it out and deserves a lot of plaudits for that. | ||
| But two, because of incredible organizations like Judicial Watch who were telling the truth about the Biden criminality, Biden crimes. | ||
| Judicial Watch was filing briefs and lawsuits against the Biden administration. | ||
| And now... | ||
| The founder and president of Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton, joins the program. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The founder and president of Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton, joins the program. | |
| Tom, we are very excited for your reaction to this. | ||
| Is it time to celebrate a W or is something else happening in a courthouse in Delaware? | ||
| Well, it's a necessary measure of accountability. | ||
| Is it sufficient? | ||
| No. | ||
| Is it the result of years of cover-up and corruption that ended with the Justice Department being dragged kicking and screaming into prosecuting this slam dunk of a case? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I apologize, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| About Hunter Biden's gun issue. | ||
| And they tried to cover it up for years, since 2018, six years. | ||
| And finally, there's justice for it. | ||
| And only because of, in my view, public disclosures by Judicial Watch through FOIA litigation, only through the diligence of this judge who asked not tough questions, but basic questions about a cover-up of a plea agreement. | ||
| And, you know, Hunter in many ways and the Biden regime politicos behind his defense are also responsible for this outcome. | ||
| Hunter can blame himself and he also can blame his father's political people who thought that they could get out of this serious issue by playing politics and appealing to the jury to ignore the evidence in front of their faces. | ||
| And the jury obviously wasn't buying it at all. | ||
| No, and I will be perfectly honest. | ||
| I apologize to the audience. | ||
| As soon as we were live, the verdict hit the second we went live. | ||
| And I apologize to the audience because my wife's family is from Delaware. | ||
| I thought that Wilmington, the cake was baked. | ||
| The wires, everything was wired in favor of a hung jury here, people holding out. | ||
| Joe Biden got my aunt a job at the DMV. | ||
| I'm never going to vote to convict any Biden. | ||
| And I found myself shocked today. | ||
| I wonder, your initial reaction, Tom? | ||
| Well, however problematic it was in terms of the process and the path to get to this verdict or to this prosecution, the prosecution in the end was by the book. | ||
| Hunter got a fair trial. | ||
| There was a competent, fair-minded judge handling the trial. | ||
| You may not have heard this yet, Benny, because you're on air. | ||
| Fox was able to talk to one of the jurors. | ||
| He said he lost two people in his family to addiction. | ||
| He was a gun owner. | ||
| His family was gun owners. | ||
| His brother-in-law supposedly had a gun. | ||
| And they took it seriously. | ||
| And Jill being in there trying to sway the jury didn't work. | ||
| They ignored the family members in the courtroom. | ||
| So there's a little sliver of justice here. | ||
| And it's the first step. | ||
| In what ought to be a long path to accountability. | ||
| Obviously, President Biden should be facing accountability for other issues related to Biden family corruption. | ||
| But Hunter himself has a trial in September. | ||
| And there are credible allegations by the House that both Hunter and Joe's brother committed perjury and made false statements to Congress that have to be grappled with by this Justice Department. | ||
| And if this Justice Department doesn't do it, doesn't grapple with it, Then it will be up to the next administration, assuming there is a different administration next term, and Trump's administration will be able to prosecute Hunter on these perjury issues. | ||
| So it's, as I go back to the beginning, it's a necessary step, still not sufficient, still no impeachment of Joe, still no serious criminal investigation of Joe, and the credibility of Hunter obviously is shut. | ||
| Given the fact he's been found through a credible court process, unlike Trump, he did get a fair trial, and he's been found guilty of pretty serious felonies. | ||
| And I'm a Second Amendment guy, and I'm somewhat skeptical of some of the laws at issue here. | ||
| But I tell you, Benny, when you see his handling of that gun, and the evidence that was, I don't know if it was presented directly to the jury, but we've seen the pictures of him handling that gun. | ||
| You can see why that law is in place. | ||
| Hunter is lucky. | ||
| No one was killed as a result of his criminal activity. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It does seem like the simplest... | ||
| I mean, I guess you can... | ||
| I guess, you know, the standards have been lowered. | ||
| So low. | ||
| But if you look through the evidence in this trial, this is like the easiest game of clue ever. | ||
| They have the coke on the gun. | ||
| We saw the photos. | ||
| The photos are now public. | ||
| You can see the white powder on the gun, the FBI at Quantico, saying, yeah, it's cocaine. | ||
| It's on the firearm. | ||
| And it's on the gun pouch. | ||
| And here's the photos to prove it. | ||
| And the Hunter Biden laptop's real. | ||
| I mean, it's the easiest game to do. | ||
| And they've had that laptop since December of 2019, at least, right? | ||
| It's been confirmed. | ||
| December of 2019. | ||
| They went immediately to the store when the gun was disposed of by Haley, according to Politico. | ||
| We got the Secret Service documents, and Politico was asking questions, and the Secret Service's response was, internally, did someone call in a favor? | ||
| So they all knew about Hunter. | ||
| Everyone knows about Hunter. | ||
| And this is a frustrating thing. | ||
| Everyone knows in this city, and I don't mean everyone literally, but generally speaking. | ||
| Hunter is a known quantity. | ||
| Joe obviously is a known quantity. | ||
| I mean, heck, does anyone think he became a criminal just because he became vice president? | ||
| That he wasn't engaged in this racketeering when he was senator? | ||
| These reputations preceded them all. | ||
| And by the way, while they were protecting Hunter, this FBI and DOJ, they're harassing Trump like never done before in American history. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So I certainly wouldn't ascribe the better angels to our federal government here. | ||
| I'm simply taking a W at face value and wars are fought and won over small battles and small victories that add up to big victories. | ||
| And I guess the big victory here would be an actual real special counsel investigation run by a real independent DOJ in a second Trump term into what would be the line here? | ||
| The FARA violations is what I'm seeing a lot of. | ||
| I mean, it's one of the true crimes. | ||
| This is, to me, kind of basic RICO racketeering operations that were taking place. | ||
| Farah is kind of like the paperwork version of the foreign influence peddling, right? | ||
| That's kind of where that may come to a head. | ||
| Of course, Farah, though, typically is only enforced against Republicans. | ||
| It's rarely ever, had rarely ever been enforced criminally, I think once or twice. | ||
| And then Trump came along and it became the go-to statue to harass Trump world with. | ||
| And so the question is, why hasn't it been applied to not only Hunter, but, you know, when there's a conspiracy, right, that's a crime, right? | ||
| And, you know, under the theory of law, under the new rules, even the suppression of this story. | ||
| Was that election interference? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And the guy who did it is the Secretary of State right now. | ||
| So every time Joe Biden made a comment saying Hunter did nothing wrong, was that a crime? | ||
| Well, that is, it would be under Boss Bragg's analysis of the law. | ||
| Joe Biden went on a debate stage and through his fake teeth said that the laptop isn't his son's. | ||
| And the federal government brought it forward, not just brought it forward, but the FBI said they have 18,000 different, 18,000 pages of data stored against the laptop, presumably. | ||
| And that might be the second biggest story from, obviously, the verdict, is the confirmation through this court process. | ||
| That the laptop is valid and has been verified by the government. | ||
| And that all those who suggested otherwise obviously knew better, but were trying to suppress the story and help rig an election in 2020. | ||
| And I believe you can rig elections, as Bragg has noted, by suppressing information about a candidate. | ||
| And that's now dead to rights, and that's precisely... | ||
| That's precisely what was organized, and everybody who organized it, not a single one of them has been punished. | ||
| How do you fix a system like that, Tom? | ||
| Well, to the degree any of those individuals have security clearances, I think they've behaved in a way that would warrant removal of their security clearances by the next honest administration. | ||
| In the least! | ||
| And I'll go back to the basics here. | ||
| If President Trump's re-elected, One might say arguably for the third time. | ||
| Then he should appoint directly a special counsel, not through the Justice Department directly, a special counsel to investigate the grand conspiracy against him and other innocent Americans here in Washington, D.C. and across several states to deprive him and others of their civil rights under the color of law. | ||
| That special counsel should be down there with you down there in Florida. | ||
| That's where he should be based and be given the resources of the federal government to do a serious independent investigation of this conspiracy against Trump. | ||
| And the ordinary course should be pursued against Joe and Hunter for the criminality evidently that's been covered up to date. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| I believe that that would do so much to bring forward the actual evidence, which is the point of a special counsel, right? | ||
| You know, you deign to say it, but the special counsel exonerating Donald Trump and Russiagate, you could argue that that's a good thing, right? | ||
| You're exonerated. | ||
| It's done. | ||
| And the thing's been brought out back and shot in the head. | ||
| And I hope that that is utilized effusively in the second administration. | ||
| Special counsels can and should be appointed to look at Epstein and Clinton's, Clinton Foundation. | ||
| It would be wonderful to see. | ||
| Well, the rules against statute of limitations have been thrown out the window, too. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| In the end, Benny, you kind of point to the issue. | ||
| It's not so much putting people, quote, in jail. | ||
| It's about reassuring the public that justice is being fairly administered. | ||
| That when there's a serious allegation of criminality, that it's pursued. | ||
| Unless there's serious allegations of criminality, it's not going to result. | ||
| So in that case, Trump should have been protected from Mueller, and indeed he found nothing. | ||
| But in case after case, we have a serious allegation of criminality by the protected class here in D.C., and it hasn't been pursued. | ||
| And Joe Biden is Exhibit A. Yes. | ||
| You saw that with the documents. | ||
| The exact same thing, but far worse, of course, because he was never president. | ||
| Many more locations with classified documents. | ||
| And you could argue far less security because they're inside of institutes that are funded by the Communist Chinese. | ||
| And nothing. | ||
| Well, that's dangerous talk. | ||
| According to Attorney General Garland, he wrote an op-ed today in the Washington Post. | ||
| I don't know if you noticed it. | ||
| He saw the gag order, by the way, of President Trump, his Justice Department, a federal court gag order telling Trump not to criticize him and the FBI for raiding his home. | ||
| And he said all such talk is, quote, dangerous and must be stopped. | ||
| So he's willing to go to court to stop you from talking, Benny, so watch your back. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Hey. | ||
| Well, the point is, it's not just rhetoric. | ||
| I mean, he's asking for the court to shut down Trump's free speech. | ||
| So when he says things must be stopped, we should understand that to mean that he wants the government to shut us down. | ||
| Final question for you, Tom, here is sort of like an esoteric one, which is, Is there any regaining faith inside of these institutions? | ||
| I mean, you can't run a country when nobody trusts the institutions. | ||
| You can't have an NFL game when everybody assumes the outcomes are rigged and knows that everything's been already fixed, prefixed. | ||
| And you can't have a Justice Department when people see... | ||
| People who are paying attention really see the way that the Justice Department has been operating the last couple of years have lost all faith. | ||
| And can it be fixed? | ||
| You know, is there a writing of the ship here or is that ship sailed? | ||
| Well, the Justice Department is, you know, when we're talking about accountability, Justice Department hasn't faced accountability for their misconduct. | ||
| You know, if a local prosecutor did what the Justice Department was doing to harass Trump, they'd be facing... | ||
| The criminal allegations, think of that prosecutor who went after those Duke students who were falsely accused of rape. | ||
| He was held accountable to that prosecutor in the end. | ||
| And so when I talk about a special prosecutor, they have to investigate the investigators. | ||
| And I think the best, I don't know if it's the best way, a key way to right the ship at the Justice Department is to ensure that there is an accountability for the abuses that have gone on. | ||
| Through outside investigators, criminal investigators, examining the politicization and the weaponization of those agencies to try to jail the political opponents of the Democratic Party. | ||
| Let's just hope all of the evidence isn't being held in Bill Clinton's socks. | ||
| Well, did you see that poor guy testified, he said, you know, he kept... | ||
| Hunter's gun and his socks with the socks. | ||
| It's always the socks, Tom! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everything comes back round again. | |
| Always the socks. | ||
| Don't ever bring a blacklight to Bill Clinton's sock drawer, man. | ||
| You burn your retina. | ||
| I say this because Tom Fitton has done such remarkable work at Judicial Watch. | ||
| He's been doing it for decades. | ||
| You must follow Tom. | ||
| And you also must look into the Bill Clinton sock saga, which is just, it's an all-timer, Tom. | ||
| I don't think you'll ever get better. | ||
| I don't think we'll ever get better than that. | ||
| And there's always something weird going on with the Clintons. | ||
| Print it on a t-shirt, put it on a bumper sticker, I'll slap it on my car, Tom. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| Yeah, everybody follow Tom. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait, I gotta tell you. | ||
| So we're gonna be up in Delaware this week. | ||
| For the Biden Senate records. | ||
| Ah! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Because they shut our case down because the University of Delaware that has those records said, oh, we didn't spend any government money on it, so there's no FOIA here. | ||
| And then the special counsel says, well, they gave, they basically hired people to run the documents or look at the documents for Joe. | ||
| And we're like, did they lie to the courts? | ||
| So the judge is going to have a hearing as to whether they reopen the case. | ||
| So we can get those records. | ||
| Big deal. | ||
| So you may be getting the Biden Senate records. | ||
| Well, we may get another chance to get them. | ||
| So we'll see what the court does, if they're going to buy into the Biden University up there as an excuse for misleading the court as to how they were using government money to keep these records away from the American people. | ||
| We have the article right here at Judicial Watch up on screen. | ||
| Everybody should go and support Judicial Watch, obviously. | ||
| Joe Biden is going to be traveling to Delaware tonight to go be with his son, so maybe you could hitch a ride, Tom. | ||
| Poor Joe. | ||
| That's another crisis. | ||
| 25th Amendment. | ||
| 25th Amendment. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Those are some tough footage of him at the Juneteenth celebration last night. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Dude, that guy's a mannequin. | ||
| I think you should hold a hearing or two on the 25th Amendment, educate people about what it's there for and how the process of work, and have a little debate about what's happening right now with President Biden. | ||
| I think that would be a useful educational public policy measure. | ||
| We'd love to see it. | ||
| We'd love to see it. | ||
| And maybe through those disclosures, we can find out which Joe Biden they have out today, right? | ||
| I particularly like number seven, but some people like number four. | ||
| You can never be sure. | ||
| And it'd be neat to find out. | ||
| And they all go to their Roomba charging stations and trot them out. | ||
| You know, compare Fauci. | ||
| I don't want to digress too much. | ||
| I know you need to go. | ||
| Compare Fauci to Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fauci's two years older than Biden. | |
| And, you know, I find Fauci to be disreputable. | ||
| But I don't find him to be stupid. | ||
| I don't find him to be cognitively challenged. | ||
| And it shows you that there's a real significant cognitive issue. | ||
| And all joking aside, I think it's a national security issue. | ||
| I think it's destabilizing to the country to have someone obviously unfit for office there with really no, you know, no measures put in place to protect the public from his cognitive challenges. | ||
| And this is why Congress in the least should have a hearing or two about. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe that would stick. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| I mean, there's going to be a very public hearing with the debates. | ||
| A couple days? | ||
| Ten days, Tom. | ||
| Ten days. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Ten days. | ||
| Joe Biden and Donald Trump debates. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So we'll see. | |
| We'll see. | ||
| Well, Trump's going to be under a gag order, at least, perhaps. | ||
| It's going to be interesting. | ||
| Yeah, I guess we'll find out what Joe Biden has in his sock drawer. | ||
| They keep finding little baggies of it all over D.C., Tom. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Godspeed in Delaware. | ||
| Everybody follow Tom. | ||
| 2.6 million people. | ||
| Can't be wrong. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| 2.6 million people. | ||
| And support Judicial Watch. | ||
| Godspeed, sir. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Thank you, Manny. | ||

| Hunter Biden's statement. | ||
| This is the last little piece of news that we didn't get a chance To read live, so let's do it right now. | ||
| Hunter's statement, I am more grateful today for the love and support I experienced last week from Melissa, my family, my friends, my community. | ||
| What community exactly is that? | ||
| What community is that? | ||
| The community of Mookie and Corn Pop and Mouse and Weed Slut 420? | ||

| Ladies and gentlemen, for joining us in this wild live. | ||
| We were not expecting such a quick decision, and we certainly weren't expecting this decision. | ||
| But again, we will celebrate the W. We'll celebrate the W. Do we have any memes or fun entertainment? | ||
| Since we've had quite a weighty show. | ||
| I think you could say. | ||
| Do we have memes? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I saw a meme sent in earlier. | ||
| We have been talking about Mr. Biden's Neighborhood. | ||
| Mr. Biden's Neighborhood. | ||
| I guess this is one that we got here. | ||
| Let's have a laugh at the end of the show. | ||
| Mr. Biden's Neighborhood, we're building out an entire extended universe for Mr. Biden's Neighborhood. | ||
| Here's the opening for Mr. Biden's Neighborhood. | ||
| Corn Pop was a bad dude. | ||
| And he ran a bunch of bad boys. | ||
| And remember Boom Boom Cannon and a few other guys that worked here as well. | ||
| One of the things you had to use, if you used pomade in your hair, you had to wear a bathing cap. | ||
| And so he was up on the board, wasn't listening. | ||
| I said, hey, Esther, you. | ||
| Off the board. | ||
| I'll come up and drag you off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So when Joe told Kwon Pop, stop, don't bounce on the board, Joe used not only Esther, but he used the French language. | |
| You know the chain? | ||
| There used to be a chain that went across the deep end. | ||
| And you cut off a six-foot length of chain. | ||
| You fold up because you walk out with that chain. | ||
| And you walk to the car and say, you may cut me, man, but I'm going to wrap this chain around your head. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You better not walk home tonight. | |
| Don't come back to the pool again. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I would totally watch this show. | ||
| We're going to keep working on it. | ||
| It's in development. | ||
| We were planning on spending a little more time on the Mr. Biden's neighborhood. | ||
| But unfortunately, we had a lot of breaking news to cover today. | ||
| And so I hope you'll forgive us maybe. | ||
| Join us tomorrow for more of a build-out of Mr. Biden's neighborhood verse of the day, and then we got a very special meme for you. | ||
| The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of God endures forever, Isaiah 48, verse 8. So, an important reminder, ladies and gentlemen, that all of this are just temporary battles, and that every single generation... | ||
| Have faced some far worse battles than this and far worse horrors beyond modern human comprehension that everything burns, right? | ||
| And that all that matters is the spiritual. | ||
| And so you have to fight spiritual battles. | ||
| And you need to call out. | ||
| You need to call out good behavior, bad behavior. | ||
| You need to be able to see it in your own life. | ||
| You need to be able to humble yourself. | ||
| And know that you are saved by grace and that God will endure forever and have that as your rock, okay? | ||
| Don't put your faith in men. | ||
| Don't put your faith in, you know, rigged or broken judicial systems, even if they get it right. | ||
| Broke clock is right twice a day, isn't it? | ||
| So make sure that you're putting your faith in God. | ||
| Why not end with a laugh? | ||
| Had kind of a... | ||
| You know, serious show, right? | ||
| Talking about all this. | ||
| And so we shall end with a meme marching forward to victory, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We certainly love you. | ||
| We care about you. | ||
| And we thank you for your continued viewership and support. | ||
| Another record day for us here. | ||
| And the chat was wild. | ||
| So this one's for you, chat. | ||
| We sign off and say thank you. | ||
| It's your boy, Benny. | ||
| See ya. | ||
| I said I'd like to see you, if you don't mind. | ||
| He said I loved you dead, if I could find the time. | ||
| As I hung up the phone, it occurred to me, a grown-up just like me. |
