| If you watch the news, it seems like the Biden administration is no longer enforcing the law on any level. | ||
| Everything is legal. | ||
| Effectively, that would include rape and murder, sexualizing children's sex crimes against kids. | ||
| That would include importing drugs into the country. | ||
| That would include mass shootings. | ||
| It would even include a full-scale invasion of the country. | ||
| Millions of people from foreign countries, most of them men, marching across the border like it's legal. | ||
| So crimes are no longer being punished. | ||
| That's the conclusion you might reach. | ||
| But that's not actually true. | ||
| There are still crimes. | ||
| They've just been redefined. | ||
| The Biden administration is a law and order operation with a very different focus. | ||
| Here's one example. | ||
| On October 5th, 2022, at 7 a.m., a man called Paul Vaughn woke up to armed FBI agents with guns banging on the front door of his home in Tennessee. | ||
| So he steps outside to find agents with their weapons drawn, pointed at him. | ||
| They promptly handcuffed him and threw him in the back of an SUV. They did this in front of his wife and children. | ||
| His wife, completely confused, asking why the man she thought was her law-abiding husband was being arrested. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| And they ignored her and instead hauled her husband off to jail. | ||
| And by the way, we are not overstating this in any way. | ||
| We know because she recorded it. | ||
| Here's part of what happened. | ||

But if you're not going to let me, then I'll just... | |
| No, I want to know why you were banging on my door with a gun. | ||
| You're not going to tell me anything? | ||
| No, they're not. | ||
| No, you didn't! | ||
| You did not try. | ||
| This is not acceptable. | ||
| You did not try. | ||
| So there you have it. | ||
| Stormtroopers showed up at the house with rifles, not just handguns, rifles, weapons of war, battle rifles, the ones that Joe Biden is telling you you can't have. | ||
| They showed up at Paul Vaughn's house to arrest him. | ||
| So the question is, what exactly did he do? | ||
| Was he a terrorist, a serial killer? | ||
| Was he trying to invade the country? | ||
| No. | ||
| Paul Vaughn's crime, Paul Vaughn, the father of 11 children, had dared to pray and sing hymns in the hallway of an abortion clinic. | ||
| In other words, he did what the Biden administration really fears. | ||
| He prayed. | ||
| And for doing that, he faces 11 years in prison. | ||
| By the way, we're not overstating this. | ||
| We're not simplifying it in a dishonest way. | ||
| Those are the facts. | ||
| Paul Vaughn joins us now along with his lawyer, Steve Crampton, and we're grateful to have them both. | ||
| Thank you very much for joining us. | ||
| Mr. Vaughn, first to you, I just want to make absolutely clear because I think This is the most clarifying thing that's happened in the last couple of years, that we're not leaving anything out. | ||
| You are not accused of threatening anyone's life, stealing anything, invading anyone's country. | ||
| You're facing 11 years in prison for praying and singing hymns in an abortion clinic. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely correct. | |
| My main crime of the day I wasn't arrested by the local police, was charged, and my main crime was I talked to the police and talked to the media. | ||
| Your crime is that you talked to the- That's a crime in Biden's America. | ||
| Do you have a criminal record? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| So you never imagined that praying would be a federal crime with a penalty of 11 years in prison? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| You know, I always thought praying for our nation is what we were instructed to do. | ||
| I thought that was what was required for freedom and liberty. | ||
| Is to beseech the favors of God on our land and to reach out to him. | ||
| And of course, you know, we're praying because our nation has allowed the sinful, atrocious action of abortion and killing unborn children. | ||
| And so that's ultimately what the, you know, what the Biden DOJ doesn't like. | ||
| I mean, I'm trying to stifle my bitterness because I want to get information from you and not just give long lectures and editorials. | ||
| But I mean, it must be a little strange for you to hear the endless Sermons that we get from our government about how this or that country is authoritarian and they don't have freedom. | ||
| When you've been arrested for praying in the United States, does that seem weird to you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You bet. | |
| Yeah, I love the comparison with, I forget, somebody threw it out on Twitter recently about Russia arresting somebody for tweeting a meme about an election and giving them seven months in jail. | ||
| For the same—and it turns out, of course, it was Biden's DOJ, and you interviewed the guy that was involved in that case. | ||
| That same conspiracy statute was used against him that was used against us. | ||
| What makes a—what would be, even if I had broken the law that day, would be a six-month misdemeanor under the FACE Act. | ||
| But by throwing in the conspiracy charges, they make a misdemeanor into a decade-long felony. | ||
| How do you feel about the prospect of going to jail? | ||
| Thanks a lot for watching us on X. There is a lot more to see, and you can find it on TuckerCarlson.com. |
