Joined by Richard Baris the People’s Pundit himself, the duo break down the numbers of both the Republican Primary and Gov. DeSantis’ rapidly sinking support and the fallout fro...

We are in a fifth generational conflict.
- Oh, yeah, they see the nation.
- Oh, yeah. - Oh, yeah.
For every lie they tell, we're gonna get in their face and yell two truths.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
I know I'm considered too much of an optimist.
But I believe if we keep pushing, we're gonna continue to make progress.
I said I'd cure cancer.
They looked at me like, why cancer?
Because no one thinks we can.
That's why.
And we can.
We'd end the cancer as we know it.
The DOJ sued Texas and Governor Greg Abbott, yay, for violating federal law by installing buoys which are endangering migrants trying to cross the river.
What they don't tell you is that the illegal crossings at ports of entry have skyrocketed 800%.
Governors and their history here, you know, this sense of inevitability that's built around them.
Jeb Bush, we remember him, we talked about Tim Pawlenty.
Scott Walker?
Scott Walker.
Could Ron DeSantis be the latest in that group?
He's desperately trying not to be.
If you're looking at this case, is your expectation that these are going to be individual charges or does this fold into a broader RICO racketeering case?
I think we could end up seeing both.
She asked Hunter Biden's attorneys about that.
And he said, well, then there's no deal.
And the prosecutor said, then there is no deal.
So Biden's team said that the plea agreement, as far as they understood, it was now null and void.
They were moving ahead to talk about what the next steps would be in this case.
So as of right now, the deal appears to be dead and off the table.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
Today is July 26, 2023, and the Hunter Biden plea deal has completely fallen apart in a Delaware court.
We're now looking at the information.
We're getting information directly from the courtroom.
We've got people that are on the scene.
We're looking at this, trying to figure out what's going on, but essentially, folks, essentially, what you need to know is that the hearing that went today Which, remember, this was supposed to be a simple hearing, this was supposed to not go anywhere, this was supposed to be a normal hearing, very quiet, and Hunter Biden was supposed to be able to walk home today not guilty with his plea deal, all the rest of it.
Or not, I should say, not going to jail.
He was going to plead guilty and then he was going to go out.
But instead, that's not what happened.
The judge took a look at this thing and said they've never seen A plea deal in federal court like this ever, ask the participants, what is going on here?
How do you have a guy that's done all of these things, he's pleading not guilty, and he seems to think that you're never going to prosecute him even for things that aren't mentioned in this.
Specifically, the FARA violations when it came to Ukraine and China.
Which, by the way, for the record, some of us have been talking about for four years.
I love all these conservative leaders that are suddenly talking about it for the last four minutes.
Yeah, some of us have been doing it since 2019.
So, welcome to the party.
They're finally asking about this.
Turns out, This comes out under the judge's questioning.
The DOJ says, well, there are continuing investigations, ongoing investigations.
Biden turns around and says, his lawyers say, wait a minute.
I don't want continuing investigations.
I wanted to be free and clear from all of this.
The judge looking at him saying, yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
Do you understand what the DOJ was trying to do?
The DOJ was trying to give him a pass for everything.
Without even saying it.
Do you honestly think that Hunter Biden is going to be prosecuted ever for those charges?
No.
Very unlikely.
Sure, the case will be open and it'll be quietly shelved in some office.
No one's ever actually gonna work on it and they'll just leave it open until Joe Biden leaves office and then who cares?
They're gonna hang it over his head.
Why not?
But the judge Gummed up the works.
As Ron DeSantis would say, threw a monkey wrench into those works.
Because now you've got a situation where Hunter Biden wasn't able to accept the plea deal.
The judge threw it out.
Hunter Biden had to plead not guilty.
The case continues.
It was thrown out the window.
This is actually massive.
So Hunter Biden, I don't know, Maybe you've got a little bit more free time on your hands, maybe not.
Take up a hobby, I don't know.
Maybe go paddleboarding outside Rehoboth.
I hope that the riptides aren't too bad, buddy.
But look, Hunter Biden, you are a liability now.
You're a liability for the regime.
You're a liability for your father.
You're a liability for a lot of places.
Ukraine.
China.
You think they want you out there?
You think they want you able to keep singing from your sheet of music?
Because Hunter, here's the thing, man.
When you take money from people like that, It don't come without strings, Hunter.
It don't come without strings.
Hunter Biden.
I don't know, man.
All I gotta say is, stay off the paddle boards, Hunter.
Stay off the paddle boards.
Do not go for it.
We've got a huge show today.
Mike Davis will be up later.
He's gonna give you the legal background of what we saw transpire here, because admittedly, it is completely unprecedented.
But first, we've got Richard Barras, the People's Pundit, to go through all of the new polls.
We're gonna talk about, is the primary still going, and how does all of this affect the general?
Coming up next.
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, folks.
What if I told you that the parent company for a major diaper brand out there today was actually paying the travel costs so that their employees could get an abortion?
Look, I've got two little toddlers.
I understand going through diapers.
It's not fun.
But it's one thing to reject your customers.
It's another thing entirely to support The elimination of your customers, and if you are a parent sickened by this, and the woke corporation supporting the destruction of American values and our most precious blessing, our children.
I want you to meet EveryLife, the pro-life diaper company.
EveryLife diapers believe that no matter where someone is from, what they look like, planned or unplanned, that every life is a miracle.

Look, folks, complete insanity out of Delaware today.
And I got to bring my guy on, Richard Barris, the People's Pundit, because Rich, you have been so maligned lately for committing the unforgivable sin in the mainstream media of being right.
You, at least, you know, Let me just explain this.
You were right about Iowa.
Okay, you were right about the 30 points in Iowa.
Then you were right about DeSantis' campaign going around to donors saying that No, it's not.
The indictments will take out Trump.
They'll take Trump out of the race.
Guess what?
Now who's being taken out of the race?
One third to 40 percent, actually, if you include last week and this week, of the San DeSantis' own campaign staff.
Rich, this is the question I'm going to ask you at this point.
Is the 2024 primary still competitive or not?
No, it's not.
The bottom line is, Jack, and I just revealed this last hour on my own before you aired.
Last week, he was forced to cancel events in New York.
The DeSantis campaign does not have small dollar contributions, and that is the key metric for, you know, vitality or long-term, you know, Solvency in a campaign.
So he was trying to go to some of the smaller donors.
They're not mega donors, but they can give $5,000.
They can give $6,000.
They reduced the cost of the plate from $6,600 to $3,300.
I personally got calls from donors asking me, is it worth going to this thing?
Can he win?
They didn't show up.
They had to cancel it.
So if he can't get money from those donors anymore, Jack, and then he's dropping staff like crazy, His campaign will run out of money six months before Iowa.
He's not going to do at this point.
Let me ask you, what would he be able to do to get the grassroots to open their wallets and give donations like they give to Donald Trump?
82% of Donald Trump's donations are low dollar contributions.
And that matters because they don't max out and they can continue to give your campaign an injection when it needs it.
He is not getting that.
And it went from 12 staffers to a third.
And now he's just not having success in re-upping that money.
So you can't run a campaign from a PAC.
You cannot do it.
Even though that's the plan, you can't do it.
So at this point, that's the money situation.
And then the polling situation has been dire for Ron DeSantis.
This is not 2016.
Nobody in 2016 out of 50 Or above a level of support, let alone with 30, 40 point leads.
The endorsement races, it's not even close.
Donald Trump is way ahead in the endorsements.
The truth is, I think it was always overstated how competitive this primary ever was.
And that's the real truth.
I mean, Rich, when it comes to these type of situations, now we've had some reporting already that potentially this Never Back Down pack, super pack, is potentially looking at other candidates, trying to get other people into the race.
And now I know that was going around yesterday.
Caroline Wren, who is a fundraiser, not quite a bundler, but almost.
She's a MAGA bundler.
I'll put her that way.
I don't think she'd like me insulting her by calling her a bundler, but the idea is that she's very tapped in in the fundraising circuit, that world.
She said they've been looking around for another candidate.
I'll tell you something that I've heard, maybe you've heard it yet, I haven't even tweeted this yet, but I'll put it out now, that yes, they are looking for another candidate, but guess what?
The other candidates are saying, yeah, no thanks.
That Yunkin, Brian Kemp, some of these other names, they have been reached out to, but guess what?
They are not interested.
They're saying, you know what?
Maybe next time.
Because they see the polls and they say, look, if Governor DeSantis couldn't do this with the year that he spent building a national brand, how do you expect us to do it in less than six months?
That's the breaking news that I'm putting out here on Human Events today.
Are you hearing the same?
And what's your take on that?
Yeah, that's real breaking news.
Out of the three we spoke to last week, all like Wall Street donors, all three said it was a revolving door with Tim Scott.
He's always been very good to them and responsive to them.
However, one's going back to Trump.
All three abandoned DeSantis.
One's going to probably go to Tim Scott.
The other one's still looking for somebody and can't find someone.
So that is the situation out of the three we spoke to last week about those events.
So it's right aligned with what you're saying.
And also, you know, worth bringing up, Jack, that people are so far behind in things like the endorsement races at this point.
It would take an enormous effort to, you know, really raise someone's profile to that level.
And what they're seeing is that when you do and you try to challenge Trump, it just Ends up with a lot of wasted money and it drives your negative up with Republicans.
So a lot of these other candidates are saying, no, thanks.
I'll wait.
I'm young.
I'll wait.
And I'm not going to I'm just not going to do this right now.
That being said, you know, the sad again, I think I talked to you about this last week.
The sad part about this is the Republicans should understand how much money has been wasted.
Instead of, you know, Tom Bevin from Real Clear Politics yesterday tweeted all this money and Ron DeSantis is at the lowest position he's ever been in the RCP average.
Think about the money that could have been spent towards matching or trying to match Democrats in what is a far more sophisticated get-out-the-vote than Republicans even have begun to understand.
And yet, this is what they've chosen to waste their money and time on.
And it's tragic.
It's tragic.
Rich, when it comes to when it comes to you know and let's go back to this a little bit and I said this on stage at Turning Point and and this is so it's Governor DeSantis and his team decided to skip the Turning Point event a huge snub to Turning Point after Turning Point held multiple events for DeSantis or at least with DeSantis across the country This is turning point action.
The C4 political arm down in the state of Florida, his sitting state, but also in Ohio, in Pennsylvania, in Arizona.
Now, these were joint events with candidates that were also running.
JD Vance, Carrie Lake, Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania, DeSantis was flown out with joint with Turning Point Action.
So he makes the decision.
Not to come out there and I said on the stage, I said, look, I genuinely would have liked the governor to come because I would have liked to ask what was the thought process?
Just what was the thought process going into this?
Did you really think?
That people were just going to abandon Trump after all that they've gone through, that all that he's gone through, because at the end of the day, I think the Republican electorate looks at this thing as though there's two islands.
Okay, there's two islands.
There's us and there's them.
Are you with us or are you with them?
And this is the reason that Vivek is doing well, because he's acting as if he's one of them.
That's all they're looking at.
That's it.
Yeah, right or wrong, right?
So he hasn't made an enemy of them, so he hasn't put himself on the other island.
And I think, you know, really dodging turning point, you didn't lose any small dollar contributors.
His main problem right now, or you wouldn't have lost any had you showed up.
Let me put that correctly.
His main problem right now is a lack of grassroots support.
So for him to bail on, you know, what is the future of the grassroots of the party and, you know, and instead pursue the same strategy is, you know, in hindsight.
Now, knowing what we know about where the campaign is deficient is just incredibly stupid.
And then on the other note of what the mindset was, Jack, the mindset, and I've been telling everybody this now, and now it's being reported by the New York Times and everyone else, the mindset was The indictments are going to work.
We're going to be the de facto replacement candidate when the indictments take out Donald Trump.
That was always the, you know... And you came on here week after week, Rich.
You came on here week after week saying that that was their strategy.
Then it was corroborated by the New York Times.
Now you've got them out on their donor call saying it this week.
One more minute, Rich Meyers.
And I knew it because their donors are the ones who told me.
That's how I knew it.
They call and say, is this viable?
Is this a viable strategy?
This is what we're being told.
And they want to know whether they're going to get a return on their investment, Jack, and they're not going to take the campaign polls to reward for it.
They're just not.
So this is how we knew that.
And at the end of the day, now it's being reported by everybody else.
But at the end of the day, you said it best.
I was watching your show.
You just misread it.
That was only ever going to make those islands.
Those indictments are just separating the distance between those on, you know, those two islands.
The indictments are just pushing them further away.
And they're saying you're either going to be, you know, here with us or you're over there with them.
And anyone who is even seen as being associated with this effort to indict this president, this former president, whom they love, is going to get burned.
It doesn't matter if they're ultimately successful in taking them off the ballot.
It doesn't matter.
There was never going to be a suitable or A replacement candidate that they would have just accepted.
It just wasn't in the cards.
It wasn't in the cards at all.
We're coming up on a break, but Rich, after the break, what I'd like to do is talk to you about something that we haven't talked about that is also coming up as a matter of fact, and that's called the general election of 2024.
Because all of the news that's going on right now, guess what folks?
It's affecting Joe Biden and the Hunter Biden stuff is going to come back.
Stay tuned.
Rich Barrett is going to break it down for us after the break.
I encourage people to, if you're interested in foreign policy, you got to follow Jack Posobiec.

Now, Rich Barris, we've been talking about this, you know, in the first segment.
I've got Mike Davis up after you.
We're going to break through the legalities of this in a little bit, and I threw it out there.
I'm going to say it again.
The CCP and Ukrainian oligarchs are not going to be too happy with you, Hunter Biden.
You're a liability now for a lot of people, so stay off paddle boards this summer, my friend.
Stay off the paddle boards.
Watch out for that Rehoboth riptide.
But Rich, let's look in terms of the general election, because I have to imagine that the fact that the Hunter News is now finally being covered In mainstream media, even nightly news is covering it.
How will this, or will this, have an effect on the election?
And then what are you also seeing in the Trump-Biden numbers?
Because, and I'll put my cards out here, I said this to the President, I'll say this again to anyone who asks, unless something physically happens to Joe Biden, he will be on the ballot.
They will prop him up with a stick if they have to, Weekend at Bernie style.
I don't think it's going to be Gavin.
I don't think it's going to be Michelle, or whatever names Bannon wants to call her, that I think it's going to be Joe Biden.
So let's say it's the two of them.
What do you see shaping out in the numbers?
This is what was always a weakness with the electability argument that Team DeSantis and other Never Trumpers were making, because this is an A-B test, Jack.
It's an A-B test.
And you have these charges against Trump, but compared to what you're hearing from the Biden world, it's nothing.
And it looks like a bunch of crooks trying to persecute their political opponent.
That's what it looks like.
And honestly, it has attracted people to Donald Trump that you never would have thought were—forget about a Republican, but even Donald Trump.
They're making him more relatable with people who look at society as, you know, trying to hammer them down, trying to prosecute them.
You and I have talked off camera about this, you know, these groups of people that are just really disjointed, you know, this field disenfranchised, they're now seeing Trump in a totally different light because he's the victim of what they have always seen as an unfair system that props up the rich and powerful.
So that's one whole element.
And this could be an entire hourly segment, But, you know, it is a scary time to live in America because this is really an election about whether we can pick our own leaders or not.
That's what 2024 is about.
But for somebody like me, with syphology, pollster, your election forecast, or whatever it may be, It's an interesting time because this is not normal.
You don't see indictments come down on a leading presidential candidate and not hurt him.
And it must be very frustrating for Biden, for Democrats, for the Justice Department, the administrative state, all of this cabal of anti-Trump forces.
It must be very frustrating.
One thing after the other, and they cannot deteriorate his support for the life of them.
Even in the Harris X poll, one of the few, like us, who did have the final popular vote projection right in 24, he just took the lead in that poll.
And that was one where Biden still had a tiny little lead, and now Trump's up by four.
That has got to frustrate them, Jack.
And it pokes a major hole in the argument that other non-Trump candidates were making that he's not electable.
I've always found that ridiculous, but now it's starting to bear fruit.
And there's another element to this, and I don't know how deep you want to get into it, but there is now this Trump or Bus vote that we've always talked about.
We've tried to isolate it.
They're getting so much more hardened in their views that when we're talking about the impact this has on a general, you're looking at states like Iowa and Ohio.
Forget about Michigan, which is also true, but they're just not even that particularly competitive without Donald Trump because these people are that mad. - And now let's talk about, so obviously you've been focused on the primary electorate, but let's get into, 'cause talk about the general.
Now you get independence in the mix.
And I think a lot of people understand that even when you look at all the ballot shenanigans that we've been through a million times in 2020, that this election still only came down to about 40,000 votes across three or four key swing states.
If Biden loses independents, he's done.
The Hunter Biden news that we've seen today, the fact that the laptop is finally being investigated, is this move, this news, is it permeating and is it having effect in addition to, by the way, I would argue, the candidacy of RFK because he's hammering Biden from the left.
And this is another trap for Democrats because they're doing and just working backwards.
They're doing everything they can to prevent RFK from being a real challenge to Biden to include changing up the historical calendar of the nomination process.
They want to front load South Carolina and they want to put all of the smaller states that are easier to compete in.
And that was always the point of having those smaller states front loaded because you want other candidates who maybe aren't big donor candidates to be able to get their voices out there.
What they're doing is basically setting up a group of disgruntled voters that will be RFK voters that could turn on them in a general.
And as far as whether or not Biden loses, you just said it.
It really came down to 40,000 votes.
For over a year now, about a year and a half, Jack, we're looking at about eight To 12% of Biden's voters that routinely every month tell us, I voted for Joe Biden, but now I would vote for Donald Trump.
Even if we just average that to 10%, we're talking about a net shift of 8 million votes.
I mean, well, a shift for Biden alone of 8 million votes.
If you look at the third party and Trump wouldn't vote for Trump, which is very small, less than 2%, you're looking at a net shift of over 6 million.
In an election that was only decided by, you know, 40,000 to 50,000 votes.
So, it is a big deal.
And this really, again, hurts this electability argument that, you know, we've seen Fox News and others try to push.
It's just complete fiction.
He has won an election before, and this is an A-B test.
He won one where it was A-B, Hillary Clinton versus him.
Joe Biden had things going for him in 20.
He does not now.
The decency argument is gone.
And also a large number of voters did not know about this stuff in 2020.
They were unaware.
And among those who were aware, many of them told us they believed it was Russian disinformation.
That's gone now, Jack.
That's gone now.
Wow.
Yep.
Yep.
So that's what I mean.
That's said.
So I think also that one of the big differences that even when I talk to independents, when I talk to moderate types, and I'd love I'd be interested to hear if you're getting any of this in your in your work that in the field that Joe Biden is damaged goods now.
Right?
Before, he was one of these guys who was, you know, he's Obama's wingman.
He'd been kind of around for a while.
He was sort of a known quantity, but not really known for anything.
It's just sort of one of the names that people knew, and he was a solid brand.
That's why I believe the Democrats will stick with him, because they understand that it's not about Joe Biden the person, it's about Joe Biden the brand.
You can't really brand him as Hardcore liberal, because try as conservatives might, they still remember him as this what they call the middle-of-the-road guy.
You know, Uncle Joe, all that stuff.
So that's what you could do, by the way, with a Gavin Newsom.
You could do with a Michelle Obama.
There's so many different things you could do there with a new brand.
But now Joe Biden has damaged goods because we've had to live through, at this point, three years.
It'll have been four years I think that'll be devastating.
these insane wars in Ukraine.
I mean, just think about the moment when Trump is up on that stage and he points to him and says, "You rode 40 hours through a war zone into Kiev and you spent a hundred million, maybe at that point it'll be 200 million US dollars doing so sent overseas, and you did it for nothing.
You did it for absolutely nothing." I think that'll be devastating.
What's your take?
Yeah, again, it's funny.
The first point you made reminds me of we brought this guy up when we first interviewed him.
It was months ago.
It's not years.
Last year, but months ago.
It shines off Joe Biden now.
The decency argument is gone.
The shine is off.
You know, we knew him as a senator, as Obama's vice president.
There was a lot of nostalgia there.
That is all gone now.
And then, by the way, we also have to look and try to imagine the environment a year and a half from now, right?
Or not even.
A year from now.
And what we do know is that the economy is likely to turn.
There are just so many I-told-you-sos that Donald Trump can make.
He can go up on that campaign stage, or that debate stage, and he could just turn and look at them and say, you know, I told you he would do this.
I told you he was a crook.
I told you he would ruin the economy.
I told you he would get in a stupid war.
I mean, just so much.
That's why I often equate this to, it could be, a Grover Cleveland-like situation.
Where Grover Cleveland came in, he served a single term, but he disrupted a lot of powerful people, so they got rid of him.
But by the time the next presidential election was up, Jack, you know, free silver, the economy had tanked, and they were begging Grover Cleveland to come back.
And he was the one and only example for a president we have in our history like that.
And very much what I see with Donald Trump reminds me of Grover Cleveland.
And he even is that kind of figure.
Grover kind of rode in that first time on a drain the swamp mentality.
It was anti-public corruption and anti-status quo.
There's a lot of similarities there and it was very easy for him to just say, I told you so.
And that is what makes the difference between Trump and some of these other candidates.
They're still hypotheticals.
They're still ideas.
Trump has a record, and when he asks people, he asks voters to compare those records, he has something he can say, I already did this, as opposed to what I told you Joe would do, and he did.
It's powerful.
Rich, we've got about one minute left, man.
What are you looking at the rest of this week, and where can people go to follow you and get involved in the People's Pundit community?
We're coming up with a new national, at least that's the plan, and we'll probably dip into Florida again.
Our last Florida poll was basically mirrored by everybody else.
But, you know, we'd love to do it again, because for me, Jack, it's like, make or break in Florida.
If you get killed in Super Tuesday, Florida will be your last stand.
We are told that he's willing to make, DeSantis is willing to make that gamble.
So I think there's value still to poll Florida.
But best place people can help us do that, which is the Public Polling Project, Go to peoplespundit.locals.com.
That's where to follow us with all things polling that we do and everything else.
That's a central hub.
The People's Pundit, the People's Pollster, Rich Barris, the man of the people.
This is the guy, folks.
If you didn't hear it first, you heard it from Rich Barris.
Stay tuned.
We're going to come back.
Mike Davis, White House in absolute panic as the Hunter Biden plea deal falls apart.
Buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
Alright folks, we're back here.
Jack Posobiec, we're working on getting Mike Davis back on.
Folks, I gotta say, alright, I'm just gonna throw it out there.
On a day When there was so much news going on with Hunter Biden, when there's so much news going on the 2024 race, this polling collapse, infrastructure collapse for one of the major candidates on the side of the Republicans.
And at the same time, keep in mind, Hunter Biden, he is the son, not only of the sitting president, but also the person who is the front runner for the Democrats nomination in 2024, that you've got this huge hearing on UFOs that's taking up so much time, that you've got this huge hearing on UFOs that's taking up so much time, that's taking up so much energy
I'm sorry, but I think there's good people that mean well, that are going in on this, and I just don't buy it.
Look, I just don't buy it.
I'm not saying that there's impossible to be aliens out there.
By the way, my answer to the Fermi Paradox is pretty simple.
The Fermi Paradox is, if there are aliens, why haven't we seen any evidence of them out in outer space in any way.
And I could say, well, number one, we might not just not be able to detect them because they don't use radio waves.
Number two could simply be that what if planet earth is in some kind of interference field that prevents us from being able to hear or see out of that field?
You know, I can think of a couple of simple answers to the Fermi paradox.
Also, just as a believer, as someone who has read their Bible, the Bible does tell us about otherworldly beings, but those otherworldly beings, they're from other dimensions.
So angels, demons, etc.
That's all in there.
But the idea that the US government has access to the ETs and is suddenly about to bring it forward to us, Project Bluebeam and all this, I just, I'm sorry.
Not into it.
Don't buy it.
I'm going to focus on what's actually going on here in the United States and what happened in Delaware.
Mike Davis joins us now from the Article 3 Project.
Mike, I appreciate you coming on.
As far as I know, I think this is probably your initial interview after this just absolute sparks flying courtroom appearance of Hunter Biden.
What do you make of what happened in that courtroom today, Mike?
It's extraordinary.
It's unusual for a plea agreement between the federal government and a defendant to get rejected by a federal judge.
But this was an extraordinary plea agreement.
It was a sweetheart deal to protect President Biden and to bury evidence of many, many, many crimes.
And the government And Hunter Biden seemed to have had a wink-wink, nod-nod agreement that they weren't going to include a plea waiver in the plea agreement, but they were effectively going to have a plea waiver where the Biden Justice Department wasn't going to pursue Hunter Biden for other charges.
And I think the judge saw this as what it was, which was a scam, and she told them to try again.
So basically what you're saying is that there were almost two layers to this deal.
One layer was the surface level saying, okay, you're going to plead guilty to some tax charges, but also there was a second layer, an unwritten deal, a handshake deal, a behind closed doors kind of deal, where it's
Okay, we're also not going to prosecute you for all these other crimes that we have very good evidence of, and oh, by the way, IRS whistleblowers are coming out day after day after day hammering it out in public, which, you know, we pretend as if judges don't watch the news and they're not seeing anything, but of course this judge has seen the IRS whistleblowers, and I have to believe, and you would know better than me, but I have to believe that that whistleblower testimony
Yeah, this judge knows that this plea agreement is a scam.
Because that judge knows there's more to this than is actually in that agreement.
And that's where she smelled something amiss.
Mike Davis.
Yeah, this judge knows that this plea agreement is a scam.
Maybe what the Biden Justice Department and Hunter Biden are trying to do is they don't want to include that there's a plea waiver for all crimes in this plea agreement because it would, A, politically be so bad, but B, it would allow the Biden Justice Department to keep saying to Congress, we can't talk it would allow the Biden Justice Department to keep saying to Congress, we can't talk about this
So it would have the effect of giving Hunter Biden blanket immunity without saying that he's getting blanket immunity so the Biden Justice Department can keep covering up and protecting for him and more importantly for his father, President Biden, for the rest of his term.
Right, so at the same time you've got essentially these IRS whistleblowers they gave the public leverage both politically and now we're seeing in the judicial side because it's it's different on the judicial side right you don't have the same kind of leverage that a legislator or an executive would have a president or a governor but that doesn't mean that this stuff doesn't affect their decisions and so when people are talking about what's the importance of the IRS whistleblowers we already know this is done we know this is done deal
I have to say, I have to imagine that there are things going on behind the scenes, there are phones being picked up, the way they're probably being wrung off the hook right now in the White House, in the Oval Office, because you've got Corrine Jean-Pierre up there right now, she's losing it, saying, look, Mike, let's walk through for us, what was supposed to happen today?
What did the White House want to happen today in this courthouse and compare that to what actually did happen?
What was supposed to happen is you have this David Weiss coming to this sweetheart deal.
David Weiss, they say, was a Trump U.S.
attorney.
He was actually handpicked by both Delaware home state senators.
I was the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee when he was handpicked by both Democrat home state senators.
It's how the process works.
and David Weiss came to this sweetheart deal with Hunter where he was gonna plead guilty to two misdemeanors for failing to pay taxes, and he was going to get a deferred sentence, a deferred judgment on a felony gun charge, but it was all gonna go away with no jail time.
And in effect, this was going to bury all of Hunter Biden's and all of Joe Biden's and all of Jim Biden's crimes where the Biden Justice Department wasn't gonna pursue them anymore.
They didn't want to put that there was a broad waiver, plea waiver in this plea agreement, because as we discussed, it would be, it wouldn't sit politically well.
It also, it doesn't give the, not having it in there gives the Justice Department the cover to say that there are ongoing investigations when everyone knows They're not investigating anything anymore and this this plea this sweetheart plea deal just blew up today because the judge knows that it's bogus.
Well, let me ask you about that as well, because I said in my assessment that I don't actually buy that there's ongoing investigations, right?
There's investigation that's ongoing in the sense that, okay, there's something open and it's on file, but do you actually believe that there's a grand jury, that people are looking at evidence, that there's a serious investigation into Hunter Biden and his business dealings with the CCP and Ukrainian oligarchs?
Absolutely not.
I think there is an ongoing cover-up by the Biden Justice Department to protect President Biden.
There is not an ongoing investigation.
I think that's exactly right.
I couldn't agree with you more because, again, they know that they have to say that because they're under oath and this puts them in the situation.
They weren't supposed to have to answer any questions about this today.
It was supposed to be pro forma.
When it comes down to, so Mike, and we've got a couple minutes in this segment, we'll hold you over, where does this go from now?
Do they come back?
Do they have another bite at the apple?
Or do you think this is done for good?
No, I think they're going to try to come up With another reason to come to a plea agreement.
It may not happen immediately.
They may want to just keep this dead investigation open to make it look like they're investigating so they can protect President Biden and his family.
But there's no chance that the Biden Justice Department is going to prosecute Hunter Biden for anything serious here.
They're not going to pursue different charges.
They're just going to drag this out as long as they can.
I think that's exactly right, folks.
We've got a break coming up here in a minute.
We're on with Mike Davis.
He's got the sources that we need within the Department of Justice, within the legal community in Washington, D.C., and over in Delaware, elsewhere, to understand what's actually going on behind the scenes.
Look, everything I'm hearing right now, that at the White House, they are absolutely Losing it.
Also, we do have a little bit of breaking news.
I don't have the video clip of this yet.
Apparently Mitch McConnell, Senator McConnell, has had a medical episode.
We know he was being treated for concussion recently, but he was escorted away from a podium, and so we're going to keep an eye on that over the break.
We're going to see what happened there.
Hopefully everything is good for Senator McConnell, and this was just a Just a bad moment, but thoughts and prayers are with Senator McConnell because apparently he was escorted away with a medical situation just moments ago.
I'm clicking through here.
Was this in the Senate?
This was in the Senate where this happened.
Yeah, so this is in the Senate.
He was on camera.
He was actually at the podium and he had to be escorted away.
We're gonna see.
Producer Faz, let's see if we can get that video clip up for the next segment for everybody because I want to be able to show what happened to the people I've got.
Suddenly my phone just blew up.
Everybody's sending me this thing about what happened there.
Folks, always a lot going on.
A lot of sparks flying over at the White House today, though.
Absolute panic.
Phones ringing off the hook.
People are freaking out because the Hunter Biden situation ain't going away.
When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with Bloods, and them boys had a saying.
You can't be listening to all that slappy-whack-trimatizolitsabam-ship-nippy-bam-bam like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, Jack Poselbeck back here, Washington, D.C., Human Events Live.
We're on with Mike Davis.
One thing that was interesting, Mike, so we've talked to you about these Georgia cases, the potential felony charges, Jan 6, etc.
I think you were ahead of everybody talking about the 14th Amendment, the disqualification clause.
I saw an interesting piece, though, in The Atlantic this morning, and this is by Paul Rosenzweig, and he wrote, The 2024 election could be the end of the cases against Donald Trump.
The most powerful office in the nation presents his best chance to terminate the cases against him.
Why are they writing a headline like that now?
And from a legal perspective, what are they talking about, Mike?
Well, if President Trump wins back the White House, he can order his Justice Department to dismiss his cases with prejudice, which he should do.
And if for some reason the Biden Justice Department manages to win a conviction before President Trump wins back the White House, he should pardon himself.
This is clearly lawfare by Democrats on many different fronts with Alvin Bragg with his bogus charges against President Trump in New York for the non-crime of settling a nuisance claim.
Jack Smith's bogus charges against Trump for the non-crime of a former president having his presidential records, which is allowed under the Presidential Records Act.
And then Jack Smith and Fulton County D.A., Democrat D.A., Fannie Willis's bogus charges for the non-crime of a president objecting to a presidential election, which is allowed by the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and the First Amendment.
The Democrats know that these are bogus charges against Trump.
Jack Smith doesn't care that they're They're bogus charges.
He's the guy who brought bogus charges against Virginia Governor Bob McDonald before.
The 2016 presidential election when Governor McDonnell was a likely Republican presidential candidate, and Bob McDonnell ended up having Jack Smith's conviction overturned 8-0 in the U.S.
Supreme Court.
But it was several years later after the damage was done, after Smith took out Bob McDonnell as a presidential candidate.
That's the same play that they're running now.
They don't care if Trump ultimately prevails on appeal in the Supreme Court, which he will.
They just care about trying to eliminate him as a presidential candidate in 2024.
And frankly, Jack, as we're seeing with the polls, this is backfiring on the Democrats.
This Alvin Bragg's indictment won President Trump the nomination.
And I think Jack Smith's indictments are going to win President Trump the White House.
How do you see this playing out?
And I ask Rich Barris this from a perspective of independence, because I think it really is independence, as well as MAGA turnout, that if Trump, and it increasingly looks as though he's going to be the nominee, It's really that question of independence.
Will he be able to pick up more of these voters?
How do you feel that independents or folks that you talk to that maybe aren't exactly full-throated Trump supporters, that they look at this situation and then of course juxtapose it with, you know, they're going after Trump on process crimes, then you've got Joe Biden's son at the same time.
you know, is getting away with everything up to everything up to murder.
We don't know that we don't know if murder is part of this yet, but it will say everything up to murder at this point.
Well, I mean, it's not just President Biden's son, it's President Biden himself who's getting away with foreign.
Yes, that's right.
Exactly.
I mean, and it's I mean, I think the American people are starting to see very clearly that our justice system at every level, the federal government, state government, local governments have been politicized and weaponized by Democrats.
Against Trump, Trump's top aides, Trump supporters, even, you know, they're going after people who aren't exactly Trumpy.
I mean, we have people threatening to kill Supreme Court justices, and they're not just going after the conservative Supreme Court justices, they're going after Chief Justice John Roberts and his wife.
So I think people are waking up pretty quickly to the fact that this is a deranged Democrat party, not our parents' or grandparents' Democrat party anymore, not liberals who love America, leftists who hate America and are trying to destroy America.
And this is not sitting well.
We can't have two systems of justice in America.
And you take that and you also take the fact that Biden is running our country into the ground.
We have interest rates now at the highest level in 20 years because of Biden's out-of-control spending.
That hurts American families.
They can't afford home mortgages anymore.
The interest rates are too high.
This is having an effect.
And I think a lot of these independents are going to say, you know what, maybe Trump is a jerk, but he actually was a good president who delivered peace and prosperity in this country instead of war and chaos that Biden has delivered.
Yeah, gas was under $2.
We weren't in war with, you know, this proxy war with Russia.
We weren't escalating tensions with China.
I do think that when you look at a lot of these things that just on the basis, and it's also one of those deals where When you take time away from the media telling you every day that Trump is bad, Trump is bad, Trump is bad, when that steady drumbeat goes away for a while and you just look at this country as it is and as it's been, it starts to kind of peel off those, what's the opposite of rose-colored glasses, right?
You know, those toxin-colored glasses, and put it on.
Mike Davis, where can people go to follow you, get more access to your work, and thank you for your time today.
Appreciate it very much, Jack.

Okay, we don't have the footage yet, so we're working on it.
Oh, I see, standby.
So, we're working on this footage.
We are told, though, that Mitch McConnell, even though he did have this moment, that we are going to look at the Senate.
It seems that he actually walked away for a few moments.
And then was able to come back and finish the press conference.
That he is okay.
Mitch McConnell is alright.
He's doing okay, folks.
Love to have that footage up, guys.
But at the same time, we do have the good news at this point.
That look, folks.
81 years old.
Alright, 81 years old.
Sitting there.
Dianne Feinstein, she's 90.
Pelosi's 83.
Joe Biden is 80 himself.
We're all going to get there, alright?
We all get there at one point.
Our bodies go down.
But I will tell you this.
I will tell you this.
Having seen President Trump multiple times on this campaign trail, you don't see it with him.
