WEBVTT - Sham Hunter Indictment is ALL about Protecting Joe Biden 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:02.239 Welcome. 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.040 It's Verdict with Center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.520 and Senator. We've got a lot to talk about tonight, 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:12.400 including Hunter Biden's not shocking indictment at all and the 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:14.880 media acting like this is a big deal when it's 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:18.480 clearly not. It's the fixes already in. Plus, we've got 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.160 a new update on Joe biden impeachment and his own 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.400 words coming back to haunt him in a big way. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:27.639 But first, Center, let's walk through this indictment. This is 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.640 a big nothing burger. In my opinion, they've in died 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.560 him on the federal gun charges. This insulates the president, 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.839 It protects the big guy. It focuses on crimes that 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.040 are completely limited to Hunter Biden and no one else. 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:41.839 In all the big crimes they could have charged them 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.320 with today, they still have not done it. 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.840 This is a fix. Do you agree? 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.840 Sadly, I do, And we predicted this over a year 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.280 ago on this podcast. We talked about how the investigation 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.880 into the bidens if at the end of the day, 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.920 the indictment that came in was a personal offense limit 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.360 to Hunter Biden, if it was a drug offense, if 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.960 it was a gun offense, if it was a personal 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:12.600 tax offense that was limited to Hunter himself, then that 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:17.840 was by design. That was by design to insulate Joe Biden. 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.040 It's worth underscoring. We've said it before, but we cannot 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:25.680 forget this is not about Hunter Biden. If his name 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.919 was Hunter Smith, if he was just some poor, sad 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:33.679 sack dealing with addiction and substance abuse, nobody would care. 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.760 It wouldn't be national news, it wouldn't be a matter 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:41.440 of public concern. The reason this matters is because there's 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:47.120 considerable evidence that Hunter Biden solicited and received tens of 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:52.920 millions of dollars from corrupt foreign players in exchange for 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:57.200 official favors from his dad, Joe Biden, now the President 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.920 of the United States. That's what matters. And so this 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.240 this indictment. We said a year ago, if they just 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.880 bring a gun crime, they're covering up for Joe. Now 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.040 they're three three indictments. They are three counts of the indictment. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.680 Two counts are tied to Hunter Biden completing a form 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.840 indicating that he was not using illegal drugs when he 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.520 purchased a cult Cobra revolver in October of twenty eighteen. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.760 And the third count alleges that he possessed a firearm 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:30.200 while using a narcotic. Now, those are crimes that I 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:35.480 think Hunter clearly committed. That there's very little material dispute 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.440 that he is guilty of those crimes. By the way, 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.720 those indictments could have been brought years ago. The evidence 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.720 was there has been there for years, and DOJ delayed 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.480 and delayed and Delayden de Layden delayed. And this is 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.440 all about insulating Joe Biden. Joe Biden does not bear 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.560 any liability for Hunter being on crack while he illegally 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.440 buys a gun. That's a bad development for Hunter. But 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.840 the purpose of this is to insulate the White House 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.400 and to let the Biden do OJ say, see we 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:13.200 indicted to Biden, aren't we tough? And they're deliberately carving 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.840 off and protecting Joe, who is the reason that the 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.400 public rightfully cares about this. 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.440 Well, let's talk about the comparing contrast to the plea deal. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.000 This is what he was gonna plead guilty to that 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.480 they're now charging him with. 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.440 How is this going to change? 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.800 I mean, is the fact that they've it's not in 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.320 a plea deal and they're gonna they they've charged him 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.240 and died on this federal gun charge. Does that change 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.280 the chances he might actually go to prison for any 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:40.920 amount of time? 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:43.000 It probably does. 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:43.680 Uh. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.560 But if you look at it, we look at the 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.640 evolution of this, we now know, and we've covered in 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.040 previous podcasts that the Biden do OJ was initially prepared 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.400 to have a plea deal where Hunter didn't have to 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.320 plead guilty to anything. He could just enter an agreement, 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.280 get not even a slap on the wrist, sort of 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.720 a wave over the hand and everything goes away, and 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:11.440 without even pleading guilty to anything. The Biden DOJ was 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.520 prepared to give him complete and total immunity for any 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:19.760 and all criminal conduct, especially especially especially the criminal conduct 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.240 that implicated his father, and that really, I believe was 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:24.760 the entire objective. 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:25.000 Of this whole thing. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.200 Now, what happened to derail that plan when they announced 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:30.159 they were indicting Hunter. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:30.960 That was the plan. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:36.000 The Biden Department of Justice was obstructing the investigation that 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.200 Merrick Garland had lied under oath to Congress. And given that, 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.880 the heat ratcheted up and they said, Okay, you got 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.480 to plead guilty, but will still make it a slap 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.760 on the wrist, Hunter, You still don't have to serve 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.800 even a day, even a minute in jail. We'll make 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.080 it all magically go away. And the critical piece that 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.600 was added to this is and you get a get 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.479 out of jail free card for all corrupt activity for Ivory, 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.360 for everything that was done, selling access to Daddy, selling 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.120 favors from Daddy. All of that is exonerated when you 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.400 sign on to this agreement with no jail time. Now, 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.280 what happened then is the whistleblowers came and testified before Congress, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:22.960 and the global attention on this ratcheted up considerably, and 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.200 so suddenly they went before the federal district judge and 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.320 the judge asked, DOJ, so are you saying that everything 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.080 else Hunter's done? And mind you, the House representatives filed 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.599 a brief of the district judge laying out all of 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.800 the evidence of Hunter's potential other criminal conduct, of Joe 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.800 Biden's criminal conduct, and the judge asked, DOJ are you 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.560 saying you're not going to prove, prosecute anything else other 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.800 than this these counts on which you're giving him a 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.000 slap on the wrist, And doj got really nervous and 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.120 they said no, no, no, we're not saying that well, and 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.839 I think they just they lost their nerve to give 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.200 Hunter and really to give Joe, because Joe is always 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.599 the beneficiary of this corruption to get out of jail 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:12.040 free pass. That's what led to the plea agreement falling apart. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.240 I think this is the third iteration. And by the way, 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.520 we predicted this third iteration that they would come back 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.080 and they would indict Hunter. But again it's on the 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:25.760 personal crimes. And if there's not a plea agreement, I 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:30.000 think the odds are significantly higher that Hunter serves some 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:31.159 jail time. 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.440 But I also think. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.479 Look like I mean we were talking a day or 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.599 two days, or three days or a month. I mean, 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.680 if they were willing to give him no jail time 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.680 before and now they charge him with us if he's 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.600 found guilty, how much does that come to the discretion 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:50.479 of the judge or their minimums are sensing guidelines here? 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.080 I mean, how concerned is he tonight? 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.240 Okay, wow, I may actually spend real time in jail. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.200 Look, dealj wants to give him no jail time. They 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.159 wanted to give him a we doesn't even plead guilty 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:06.080 in anything. So this is not a true adversarial proceeding. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.280 This is not a prosecutor who is seeking to hold 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.520 someone accountable. The reason Merrick Garland appointed David Wise as 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.840 special prosecutor is special counsel rather, is that he'd already 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:21.760 demonstrated that he was willing to obstruct justice and cover 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:26.320 up Joe Biden. That's the objective here, and so the 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:32.119 small level objective with this case. I think this case 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.840 probably gets resolved of the plea deal as well, and 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.240 the plea deal may require Hunter to serve six months 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.040 in jail. I think that's a real possibility, and they 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.880 may get nervous about having a commitment we will not 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:49.560 investigate anything else. Now, mind you, they intend not to 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.440 investigate anything else. And it wouldn't surprise me at all 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:59.200 to see THEOJ Yeah, to see doj say privately, look, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.800 we're not going to invest at anything else. But we 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.280 can't say that in open court because it makes us 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:11.160 look like completely partisan, corrupted, compromised hacks. And it may 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.840 be that Biden's lawyers take that and that he serves 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.720 some time in jail. We do seem to have seen 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:23.080 some movement among Democrats among the press where they've decided 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.800 throw Hunter overboard a little bit in order to protect Joe. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.840 It's why the last podcast on Wednesday, and by the way, 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.319 if you did not listen to Wednesday's podcast, you should 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.199 go back and listen to it. It was really important 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:42.559 explanation on the impeachment of Joe Biden. Why the Democrats 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.680 claim that there is no direct evidence of Joe's involvement 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.000 as corruption is a flat out lie, and we walked 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:54.320 through it chapter and verse on Wednesday's podcast. The fact 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.080 that they have shifted their defense to saying there's no 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.760 direct evidence of Joe's involvement in the hates that they've 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.920 collectively decided to cut bait and throw Hunter to some 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.959 extent to the Wolves. Now, I suspect Joe is still 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:14.400 not entirely comfortable with Hunter serving ten years. But at 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.840 this point I think the most likely outcome, absent enormous 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:23.199 public pressure, is Hunter pleads guilty to these charges, serves 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:29.000 some minimal jail time six months to a year, these 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.640 charges go away, and the investigation and everything else just 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:37.319 quietly disappears. Doj doesn't admit in court, they're not going 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:42.360 to investigate it. They simply say nothing else, and actually 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.959 that then serves as a shield for DOJ. When Merrick 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.599 Garland or anyone else from the Department of Justice is 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:54.199 brought before Congress, their response will be when asked about Hunter, 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.400 it's still an ongoing investigation, I'm sorry, we can't tell 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:02.120 you anything. When they have, I belie leave zero intention 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:09.400 to investigate the claims of bribery and corrupt selling of 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.360 official favors from Joe Biden because the Department of Justice 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.040 wants to protect Joe Biden above all else. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.000 Senator, it's also very interesting to see how the media 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.319 is covering this story, and I want to get into 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:22.880 that in a minute, because they're trying to make this 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.680 a big deal while also undermining the charges saying they're 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.280 actually weak, which is pretty hysterical. But first, let me 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.120 tell you about our friends and in viro clins. You 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.560 should choose an air purifier like your life depends on it, 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.680 because it just might. We've had more than thirty five 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.000 thousand wildfires that have devastated the US this year alone, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.720 and the toxins, the particles and wildfire smoke can penetrate 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.480 our lungs and threaten our health. That's why in viro 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:54.920 Clins developed military grade air purification for your home, and 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.800 they just announced that they're having their biggest sale of 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.679 the year.

This is also one of the cool 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.880 things about in viro Clintons. Even toxic gases and particles 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.480 found in wildfire smoke are no match. That's why the 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.000 US Navy selected in viro Clints protect and purify the 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.320 air in their facilities, and viraro Clintons comes with a 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:38.280 free professional air quality monitor, so you know your family's 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.360 breathing purified air.

I want to play 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.839 for you MSNBC. This is what they had to say 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.800 is they were breaking the news on the Hunter Biden 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.680 indictment on the federal gun charge, and they're trying to 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.880 turn this into a very big deal. Well at the 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.360 same time, the media, then an hour later is trying 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.920 to tell you that the case against Hunter Biden is 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:19.920 actually really weak. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:21.000 Breaking news. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.240 Now we have just learned and we just got the 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.480 paperwork that Hunter Biden, the President's son, has been indicted 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.880 for lying when buying a gun. I want to bring 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.400 an NBC's Garrett. Hey, Garrett, what can you tell us. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.200 Well, Chris, this indictment just unsealed in Delaware charges Hunter 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.199 Biden with three counts, all related to that gun purchase. 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.800 It describes two counts of knowingly making a false or 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.440 fictitious statement when purchasing a gun, basically accusing him of 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.440 lying about being addicted to drugs at the time he 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.720 was purchasing this weapon pistol in October of twenty eighteen, 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.400 and the third count is that he did knowingly possess 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:02.400 that same firearm while essentially while being addicted to a 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.800 controlled substance. So these are counts that were all thought 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.360 to have been dealt with in that plea deal that 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.400 fell apart a couple of months ago, kicking things back 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.200 to the US Attorney. Now special Council whis handling this 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.600 in Delaware, a former US attorney in the district of Delaware. Again, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.720 this indictment on Field, dealing only with the gun and 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.320 drug charges. I think it's reasonable to presume we have 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.080 not heard the last of charges against the President's son, 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.800 given the scope of what was originally in front of 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.559 the US Attorney and then kind of fallen apart back 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.920 to the drawing board to bring forward these counts. 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.640 Now, by the way you said it fell apart, that's 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.720 not true. And then MS tries to tell you that 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.120 they don't think we've heard the last of the indictments. 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.680 I don't believe that, do you. 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:51.199 No, No, Look, this is designed to end the matter. 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.640 That's what the Biden Department of Justice wants. They want 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.560 to say we indicted him. They want to get a conviction, 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.240 and I think the conviction is likely. I don't think 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.040 the Biden team is going to try this. They may 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:06.160 try to do some pre trial motions and some procedural delays, 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.400 but I don't think they're going to want to take 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.240 this to a jury, so I think it's likely to 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.319 be resolved with a plea deal, and the plea deal, 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.720 in all likelihood will end up slightly stouter than the 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.800 slap on the wrists that they tried the second time. 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.000 But the purpose of this, and we predicted this a 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.280 year ago, this is not new. It's not surprising. The 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.280 purpose of this is to put to rest all of 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:36.320 the allegations of corruption against Joe Biden because the Biden 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.240 DOJ is looking to an election coming up November of 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.840 next year, and by the way, they're busy inditing Donald Trump, 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.800 which is also looking to an election coming up next year, 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.640 and when it comes to election interference, We've never seen 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.200 a Department of Justice behave like Merrick Garland and this 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.520 profoundly politicized Department of Justice. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.200 Now this case, by the way they have brought against him, 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.440 there's a lot of evidence that was from that laptop 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:07.600 from Hell and the and the pictures and the drug use. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.960 I would argue it's probably a very strong case for 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.040 there to be a conviction against Hunter Biden. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:15.360 If you look at the evidence. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:21.960 Yet CNN just barely an hour after this indictment comes out, 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.640 they start carrying water for Hunter Biden. 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.120 And this is what they said, calling it a weak case. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.640 Jations of politics is right, often coming from the former 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.200 president himself in terms of what they say is to 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:36.800 to your justice system. But here you have it, as 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.200 we noted, first time in US history the son of 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.520 a president has been charged by the Justice Department. Kris Canal, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.040 thanks so much. Going to turn it over to Borius 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:45.200 for some legal analysis. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.200 Yeah, let's chat with seeing and legal analyst Jennifer Rogers. 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.000 Jennifer, obviously, again, this is a historic moment, the first 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.280 time DOJ has charged the son of a sitting president. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:55.760 Your reaction to the news. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.760 Well, Wars, I really think, you know, the first time 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.360 we had a charge against to former president, it was 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.560 important that prosecutors really took their time and built strong 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.640 cases based on compelling evidence. And I'm afraid the prosecutors 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.520 have not done that here. I certainly, if I were 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.560 making history, would not want to make it with this 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.480 set of facts and these laws. I think that this 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.800 case is weak. It's very, very rarely charged. This section 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:25.240 on being an addict in possession of a weapon. So 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.200 I think they have a lot of problems, both on 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.720 the factual side, which is why it's very rarely charged, 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.760 and on the legal side. After the Supreme Court's decision 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.040 in the Bruin case on the Second Amendment, a lot 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.440 of legal observers think that all these gun possession statutes 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.880 are in jeopardy. And we know that Hunter Biden's lawyers 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:45.160 will fight vigorously on the legal front, saying that after 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.000 the Supreme Court's decision that this conviction could not stand. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.200 So I think they've got a lot of trouble here ahead, 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.000 and we'll see how it plays out. But I think 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:55.640 it's inadvisable, Sinner. 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.520 When I heard this, I was dying to get your reaction, 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.840 because they're now telling you this case is so weak. 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.440 This is a dumb case to even bring up, even 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:03.880 though they're willing to do a plea deal on the 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.639 same case that got then blown up. 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:06.480 So which one is it? 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.159 Yeah, Look, Connor has already agreed to plead guilty to 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:13.200 these counts, so oddly enough, CNN, you know, I don't 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.960 know who that quote legal analyst is, but you could 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.480 have just called her a Democratic Party shill because she says, well, 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:23.119 first of all, the case against Donald Trump is incredibly strong. 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.639 It is meticulously researched. It is oh oh so powerful. 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.480 What utter and complete garbage. The case against Trump is 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:35.720 a political hatchet job, and they may get a conviction 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.119 before a DC jury that is ninety plus percent Democrat. 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.959 But I think the chances of that conviction standing up 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.800 on appeal are minuscule. But of course CNN is so 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.800 called legal analyst, is not going to tell you that. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:54.199 And as for the claim that this charge is weak, okay, 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:58.879 the critical elements are did he buy a gun, yes, 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:00.800 as far as I know, there's no dispute about it. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.240 Was he a drug addict? Yes, and I'm not aware 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.200 of any meaningful dispute about it. The guy was dishonorably 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.800 discharged from the military for his drug addiction. He's wrestled 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:17.040 with drug addiction for years. We have pictures and video 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:21.000 of him using illegal drugs. Did he lie on the form, 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.119 which is a felony, Again, there's no dispute about it. 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.560 He clearly checked the box lying on the form. So 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.240 to say the case is weak, I don't even know 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.879 a factual claim. An element of the crime that is 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:41.280 in dispute. And her final point, well, after the Bruin case, 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.520 you know, any gun claim is legally dubious. 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:45.520 What nonsense. 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:46.119 No, it's not. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:51.639 What is legally dubious is efforts from Democrats to restrict 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:55.240 the right to keep in bare arms of law abiding citizens. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.560 There are, she says, lots of legal scholars doubt this 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.720 prevent No, that's not true. There have been laws in 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.680 the books for a long time prohibiting felons from possessing firearms. 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.080 I don't know of a single legal scholar who doubts 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.720 the validity of those provisions. This is part of that 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.320 same law that deals with people with serious drug addictions. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.840 I again don't know of a legal scholar who challenges 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:26.240 those provisions. So her claim, Look, it's the typical leftist 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.560 claim that if a law abiding citizen has a right 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.040 to keep in bare arms, well that means everyone can 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.199 possess weapons. Let's just hand out hand out guns to 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:39.199 murderers in jail. It's like, no, No, that's not what 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.400 the Second Amendment says. That's not what it's ever been 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.359 understood to say. What the Second Amendment says is that 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.919 a law abiding citizen can defend himself, can defend his 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:52.199 or her family, can keep and bear arms. And so 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.199 I got to say, listening to it, there literally is 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.359 not a sentence in that so called legal analysis that 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.479 isn't us laughably false. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.280 Yeah, it's and they love to make up stuff, and 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:06.479 they do it every day, and even on the biggest 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.560 news days they'll come in with the propaganda just hours 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:11.879 afterwards to try to spend this in favor of the 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:13.000 Biden crime family. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:14.720 I also want to move on to the. 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.159 Other begin and by the way, Ben, I want to 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:21.480 make clear that when I talk about what laws are 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:27.040 in dispute or not, the first big seminal case from 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:31.760 the Supreme Court establishing the individual right to keep in 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:35.720 bear arms was Heller versus District of Columbia. I am 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.480 very familiar with that case because I represented the State 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:43.480 of Texas and thirty one other states in that case. 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.000 I was part of the Supreme Court case that upheld 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.639 the individual right to keep in bear arms and it 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:54.120 was a it was a fundamental foundational case. Justice Scalia 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.120 wrote the majority opinion. And I'll tell you what we 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.679 said in our amicus brief on behalf of Texas and 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:03.440 third one other States. We said, of course, the laws 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:07.359 prohibiting felons from being in possession of firearms are legal 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.920 and constitutional. What government cannot do is stripped the right 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.480 to keep in bare arms from law abiding citizens. So 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:19.160 she claims lots of people dispute that with no apparent 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:24.800 awareness of what actually is are the underlying arguments concerning 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:25.760 the constitutional right. 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.800 Yeah, great point there. I want to move to the 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:34.120 impeachment update. There was some very interesting fodder from James Carvill. 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.879 If you don't know James Carville, I'll just remind you 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:37.199 he's a. 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:39.840 On the left. 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.080 They would refer to him as a brilliant political mind, 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.640 a mastermind behind the Bill Clinton days. He is on 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:50.119 TV a lot, talking on MSNBC in other places about. 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:51.240 The Democratic Party. 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:55.200 He was on CNN and he had this to say 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.520 about the impeachment inquiry. 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:00.160 Moving forward on the House side, take a look. 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:02.359 What do you make of how the White House has 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:04.600 been handling it so far? Do you think they're being 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.520 aggressive enough or should there be a war room, should 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:10.120 there be a more outfront effort from them? 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.040 Well, my honest opinion is the people they have leading 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:17.480 it are not very smart, and in fact they borderline stupid. 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:21.520 I mean James Comber or Jim Jordan and the people 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.760 in the House that are going to be on this 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:28.600
