=== Biden's America: Crimes Unpunished (05:30) ===

[00:00:00]  If you watch the news, it seems like the Biden administration is no longer enforcing the law on any level.
[00:00:06]  Everything is legal.
[00:00:08]  Effectively, that would include rape and murder, sexualizing children's sex crimes against kids.
[00:00:15]  That would include importing drugs into the country.
[00:00:18]  That would include mass shootings.
[00:00:21]  It would even include a full-scale invasion of the country.
[00:00:25]  Millions of people from foreign countries, most of them men, marching across the border like it's legal.
[00:00:31]  So crimes are no longer being punished.
[00:00:35]  That's the conclusion you might reach.
[00:00:36]  But that's not actually true.
[00:00:38]  There are still crimes.
[00:00:39]  They've just been redefined.
[00:00:41]  The Biden administration is a law and order operation with a very different focus.
[00:00:46]  Here's one example.
[00:00:47]  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.
[00:00:58]  So he steps outside to find agents with their weapons drawn, pointed at him.
[00:01:04]  They promptly handcuffed him and threw him in the back of an SUV. They did this in front of his wife and children.
[00:01:09]  His wife, completely confused, asking why the man she thought was her law-abiding husband was being arrested.
[00:01:15]  What are you doing?
[00:01:16]  And they ignored her and instead hauled her husband off to jail.
[00:01:20]  And by the way, we are not overstating this in any way.
[00:01:22]  We know because she recorded it.
[00:01:24]  Here's part of what happened.
[00:01:25]  But if you're not going to let me, then I'll just...
[00:01:27]  No, I want to know why you were banging on my door with a gun.
[00:01:31]  You're not going to tell me anything?
[00:01:40]  No, they're not.
[00:01:42]  No, you didn't!
[00:01:43]  You did not try.
[00:01:45]  This is not acceptable.
[00:02:02]  You did not try.
[00:02:12]  So there you have it.
[00:02:14]  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.
[00:02:23]  They showed up at Paul Vaughn's house to arrest him.
[00:02:26]  So the question is, what exactly did he do?
[00:02:28]  Was he a terrorist, a serial killer?
[00:02:30]  Was he trying to invade the country?
[00:02:32]  No.
[00:02:33]  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.
[00:02:42]  In other words, he did what the Biden administration really fears.
[00:02:46]  He prayed.
[00:02:47]  And for doing that, he faces 11 years in prison.
[00:02:50]  By the way, we're not overstating this.
[00:02:52]  We're not simplifying it in a dishonest way.
[00:02:55]  Those are the facts.
[00:02:57]  Paul Vaughn joins us now along with his lawyer, Steve Crampton, and we're grateful to have them both.
[00:03:01]  Thank you very much for joining us.
[00:03:04]  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.
[00:03:13]  You are not accused of threatening anyone's life, stealing anything, invading anyone's country.
[00:03:19]  You're facing 11 years in prison for praying and singing hymns in an abortion clinic.
[00:03:24]  Is that correct?
[00:03:25]  Absolutely correct.
[00:03:26]  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.
[00:03:35]  Your crime is that you talked to the- That's a crime in Biden's America.
[00:03:39]  Do you have a criminal record?
[00:03:42]  No.
[00:03:43]  So you never imagined that praying would be a federal crime with a penalty of 11 years in prison?
[00:03:49]  No.
[00:03:50]  You know, I always thought praying for our nation is what we were instructed to do.
[00:03:54]  I thought that was what was required for freedom and liberty.
[00:03:57]  Is to beseech the favors of God on our land and to reach out to him.
[00:04:02]  And of course, you know, we're praying because our nation has allowed the sinful, atrocious action of abortion and killing unborn children.
[00:04:09]  And so that's ultimately what the, you know, what the Biden DOJ doesn't like.
[00:04:15]  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.
[00:04:23]  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.
[00:04:33]  When you've been arrested for praying in the United States, does that seem weird to you?
[00:04:40]  You bet.
[00:04:41]  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.
[00:04:57]  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.
[00:05:03]  That same conspiracy statute was used against him that was used against us.
[00:05:08]  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.
[00:05:14]  But by throwing in the conspiracy charges, they make a misdemeanor into a decade-long felony.
[00:05:20]  How do you feel about the prospect of going to jail?
[00:05:24]  Thanks a lot for watching us on X. There is a lot more to see, and you can find it on TuckerCarlson.com.
