00:01:03.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:56.000It wasn't even that controversial what we said.
00:01:58.000Now, by the way, it's not as if there was a lack of material to look at with Hunter Biden.
00:02:02.000Federal investigators had the entire Hunter Biden laptop.
00:02:06.000They had former associates of Hunter loudly saying he was involved in corrupt deals, and that those deals went up to all the way the big man, Joe Biden, himself.
00:02:14.000And five years, after five years, is what prosecutors came up with.
00:02:18.000Quote, the president's son will plead guilty to two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax.
00:02:26.000Hunter Biden also agreed to enter into a pre-trial diversion agreement regarding a separate charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, unquote.
00:02:42.000We said there was a chance that charges were coming against Hunter Biden soon as a way to try to make it seem as if the scales of justice go against both political parties.
00:02:51.000Okay, yeah, we're going to go after Donald Trump in the DOJ, but we're also going after the Bidens, too.
00:02:56.000This is nothing more than a cover talking point against a legit crime family, the Biden crime family.
00:03:06.000And the heavy news I have to share with you today is that this means that they're likely going to go after Trump on the serious, the most serious of all charges.
00:05:38.000He's going to get probation for two misdemeanors.
00:05:40.000And now all the chattering class on cable television, they're going to say, well, I think, I guarantee it, I predicted.
00:05:46.000MSNBC, all these people, this is what they're going to say.
00:05:49.000They're going to come out and they're going to say, well, I think what this really does is this weakens and invalidates far-right accusations that the Department of Justice is a political organization.
00:06:00.000That's what they're going to say, verbatim.
00:06:02.000They're going to be like, wow, the Biden administration is so fair that they go after a son of a sitting president.
00:06:46.000Now we need to do Jared and Don Jr. and Ivanka.
00:06:49.000You see, what they're trying to do is weaken a very legitimate and strong criticism that we have that the Department of Justice has become the Praetorian guard and the Gestapo of the American Democrat Party.
00:07:15.000Two weeks after the federal Trump indictment, one of the most calculated acts of political aggression in American history, we have these charges against Hunter Biden.
00:07:26.000They say, look, everyone, the DOJ is incredibly fair.
00:07:45.000I can tell you, having covered this for several years now, that this is likely to be a very controversial plea agreement, especially with Republicans on Capitol Hill.
00:07:55.000Over the last few years, not only in the House, but in the Senate, their investigators have raised very serious questions about these business deals with Chinese nationals, as well as this Ukraine energy firm, Burisma.
00:08:08.000And then, more recently, we've had whistleblowers come forward.
00:08:11.000An IRS whistleblower spoke on the record with CBS News, as well as whistleblowers from the Justice Department have gone to Capitol Hill complaining that this investigation has been slow walked and that standard investigative procedures have not been followed.
00:08:25.000So, this may just be the beginning of the story in many respects.
00:08:29.000So, let me just make sure this is clear.
00:08:31.000If you read all of the mainstream covering of this, they're making it actually see heavier against Joe Biden.
00:08:38.000They're so orchestrated, the Operation Mockingbird media.
00:08:41.000So, if you read the headlines from CNN, they say, Hunter Biden to plead guilty to federal charges, CNN.com.
00:08:52.000Now, in criminal law, any defendant has the right or the ability to plead guilty at any time.
00:08:59.000But do you know what is not always offered?
00:09:02.000A plea agreement to plead down to a misdemeanor.
00:09:08.000The prosecution has to offer a plea deal.
00:09:11.000Now, at any time, like Donald Trump could plead guilty right now, but prosecutors are not meeting with Trump's attorneys saying, All right, you're a former president, all these documents.
00:09:20.000If you plea, Mr. President, we can make this go down to misdemeanors.
00:09:25.000Instead, it's very obvious what happened here.
00:09:28.000Hunter Biden's legal team, back channeling with Joe Biden, who is hanging out with all the DOJ people.
00:09:33.000There's pictures of him with DOJ people recently.
00:09:36.000They said, Look, we have a big hunter problem.
00:09:38.000Let's just make it an inch wide and a millimeter deep, even though it's a mile, really deep, on the most easy stuff to agree to that's not going to hurt us politically, tax stuff, because people don't like the IRS as it is.
00:09:51.000But then the prosecutors have to meet us halfway and agree to basically say, We're not going to bring this to trial.
00:09:57.000And if you plea down to a misdemeanor, why didn't they offer that deal to Douglas Mackey, the meme maker?
00:10:05.000Why didn't they offer this deal to Steve Bannon?
00:10:09.000Hey, Steve, you're the first one that we're actually going to bring to trial for contempt of Congress.
00:10:14.000Why didn't they bring a plea agreement to Lieutenant General Michael Flynn?
00:10:18.000Oh, no, because Hunter Biden is the son of the king, and this is all a psyop to make you believe we actually have an equal justice system.
00:13:00.000Then they realize that people's trust in the DOJ goes down.
00:13:03.000So how do I solve my Hunter Biden problem with this cokehead criminal while also simultaneously trying to get people not to view the DOJ as this Democrat-Praetorian guard?
00:13:17.000So that actually solves two problems for the Biden administration.
00:13:20.000Now, if you fall for it, if the media falls for it.
00:13:23.000So you get this sweetheart deal, and they drag out this case for years, and then they drop it at the perfect moment.
00:13:35.000Why are they dropping the Hunter Biden plea deal right now?
00:13:39.000They're dropping the Hunter Biden plea deal because there's probably a fair amount of Republican senators that are pretty animated the DOJ is going after Donald Trump.
00:13:48.000So Merrick Garland had this in his back pocket.
00:13:50.000They gamed this out probably around Christmas.
00:13:52.000They knew that the House was eventually going to find Hunter Biden's crimes.
00:13:56.000So they said, How can we turn down the attack dogs on Hunter Biden and say, hey, he's a suffering drug addict.
00:14:17.000I could just hear the cable news segments.
00:14:19.000Right-wing extremists and paranoid QAnon conspiracy theorists are trying to continue to push that Hunter Biden as the center of an international crime ring.
00:14:28.000Experts say that these theories lead to violence, and there's no evidence to support that.
00:14:32.000And Hunter Biden has already pled guilty to tax accounts, to tax aversion.
00:14:38.000Cut 31, CNN says they're positioning this as he's trying to take accountability.
00:14:44.000You see, this, everyone knows Hunter Biden is a total criminal.
00:15:19.000Where he says, Do you notice that in modern culture, we never actually tell people that they're responsible for their own addictions and their own behaviors?
00:15:26.000No, you made a conscious decision to get addicted to cocaine.
00:15:30.000Cocaine did not fall out of the sky, and all of a sudden you said, oh my goodness, I'm a victim of a crack tornado that hit my home.
00:15:39.000Positioning this as he's trying to take accountability for the crimes that he committed when he was an addict, which he has been very public about.
00:15:48.000So this is part of that step in that process.
00:15:52.000This is all designed guys, this is designed by the Biden administration to improve the political possibility, the political chances of Joe Biden going into 2024.
00:16:04.000This is all designed with the intent to try and solve the Hunter Biden problem.
00:16:09.000But the bigger issue is this we'll talk about it.
00:16:12.000This is all designed as a way to mount the most serious of all charges.
00:16:18.000It's building, and it's building and it's building.
00:16:20.000They start with the Stormy Daniels garbage and now they might go for the I word.
00:16:27.000All right, I got an important thing to share with you.
00:16:30.000You are probably tired about all these left-wing, progressive companies and you're probably exhausted with trying to keep up with all their virtue signaling and their woke nonsense.
00:16:47.000Adidas might as well have a big sign that says we hate you.
00:16:52.000Look, progressive left-wing companies are taking over the market and it's time for us to fight back.
00:16:58.000I want to tell you about a company I really care about, run by a friend of mine who's a great American, and they're growing and they need your help and it's very important.
00:17:06.000Okay look, we don't have to fund these companies, the left-wing companies.
00:17:10.000We finally have an alternative Public Square.
00:17:22.000Join the movement of millions of patriotic Americans who love truth, our country and our constitution at public sq.com.
00:17:30.000I use this app all the time when i'm traveling and also my local neighborhood.

00:18:50.000All of this with Hunter Biden is leading towards something.
00:18:54.000They don't want to have to do this, but they think that they have this thing perfectly planned.
00:18:58.000And let me walk you through what the plan entails now, because it's very clear to me.
00:19:03.000We did accurately predict that Hunter was going to face charges, and they're now going to deploy people in the media, see we should trust the DOJ, see we should trust the DOJ, see we should trust the DOJ, but they're building towards something.
00:19:15.000And I can say confidently, more so than any other time that I've been hosting this program, that I think that Jack Smith, who is now proven to be a hyper-aggressive prosecutor, I think that there is a good likelihood he's going to go for insurrection.
00:19:33.000One of the things that stood out to me when I was reading the Peter Strzok and Lisa Page text messages, which were the two FBI agents that failed to stop Donald Trump from becoming president despite trying to use the FBI to do so, is that there was something in those text messages that always bothered me when they mentioned the backup plan.
00:19:59.000When Peter Strzzok and Lisa Page were ranting about how much they hated Trump, even though they were in charge of counterterrorism, talking about how they had meetings in Andy's office, part of their text, what always bothered me was when Peter Strzzok was so confident that they had a backup plan.
00:20:22.000Now, their backup plan failed largely because Hillary Clinton didn't campaign in Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania, and Donald Trump did a great campaign and shocked the world.
00:20:32.000But 2016 was such a threat to these septogenarian and octogenarian Marxist boomers that they're never going to let that happen again.
00:20:46.000And so in 2020, they did their COVID thing, and it worked masterfully.
00:20:50.000But they can't do that again, at least the same way.
00:20:52.000So they have to have a whole new plan to try to prevent this populist, nationalist, people-centered, conservative movement from gaining power.
00:21:13.000We're turning young people, young moms, blacks, Latinos.
00:21:17.000The country is moving in a center-right direction.
00:21:21.000But the administration of elections, what the left is very good at, what they master at, what they focus at, is they're going all in and they're going early.
00:21:32.000So, this indictment, that's not even an indictment, that's what's crazy.
00:22:10.000Number two, if he is miraculously able to win again, because you better believe they fear him, he constitutionally cannot sit as president of the United States if he is convicted of insurrection.
00:22:24.000That is one of the ones that actually could prevent him from becoming president.
00:22:28.000Not the Stormy Daniels one or the document thing.
00:22:31.000So, the backup plan of backup plan is to have a conviction of a former president on insurrection.
00:22:39.000Now, you might say, Charlie, that is such an outrageous charge.
00:22:43.000But we are in a new era of America called zip code justice, where your justice is dependent on the jury pool you draw from based on the zip code that you get a trial in.
00:22:56.000If Donald Trump was tried of insurrection in Enid, Oklahoma, or in Great Falls, Montana, the jury would meet for five minutes and he would be acquitted of all charges.
00:23:08.000But in Washington, D.C., with how they're moving the Overton window, how they're dominating the papers, Jack Smith is focused on convincing an audience of 12, 12 random people, or are they going to be random?
00:23:27.000I mean, they do a lot in jury selection.
00:23:29.000That is, I think, rather nefarious, to go after Donald Trump.
00:23:34.000Multiple factors now point to a federal indictment against Donald Trump on January 6th related charges.
00:23:42.000First, the Justice Department has already obtained multiple convictions on the most serious charge, which is seditious conspiracy.
00:24:04.000How can you have an insurrection when they open the doors for you to come in?
00:24:09.000This whole thing is so laughable, but a D.C. jury, they can be convinced.
00:24:14.000Grandma walking through Congress is a threat to the Republic.
00:24:19.000Justice Department has already obtained multiple convictions on seditious conspiracy and long prison terms for multiple militia group members.
00:24:26.000Jack Smith might not be able to directly tie Trump to the violence, but it would be a gross injustice, this is the Washington Post, injustice for the people, gross injustice for the people Trump told to go to the Capitol, do the bidding to get heavy jail sentences, but to let the man they believe sent orders to go free.
00:24:44.000By winning convictions on seditious conspiracy, the Justice Department has proved that the events of January 6 were sedition, namely an effort to, quote, overthrow and put down or destroy by force the government of the United States or to oppose by force the authority thereof or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States.
00:25:08.000This is Julie Kelly, and she has perfectly predicted this whole thing.
00:25:11.000And so this, I just want to make sure you all realistically understand what you're dealing with here.
00:25:16.000This Hunter Biden thing here is trying to balance the PR narrative to try to disarm and disable our effective criticism of the DOJ of being a Praetorian guard.
00:25:26.000Oh, look, they go after Hunter Biden too.
00:26:00.000The Overton window is a spectrum of which actions, policies, and political views move on a spectrum of things that go from unthinkable to popular.
00:26:11.000For example, defund the police or transing the kids.
00:26:28.000Alvin Bragg was the one that helped move the Overton window on drummed up, kind of nonsensical charges, but they deployed Bragg because he was the one that was willing to bite first.
00:26:40.000If they would have charged on documents first, there would have been all this outrage on DOJ's overreach.
00:26:47.000But since they're so skilled at moving the Overton window, this slow build, the discipline that these people have taken in building quote-unquote media consensus and peppering this.
00:27:10.000Jennifer Rubin says, the conversation about the propriety of indicting a former president has percolated throughout the political system.
00:27:19.000As evidence of Trump's liability on multiple grounds in different venues has mounted, we saw the shift from, quote, and she's awful, by the way, how can we indict without becoming a banana republic to how can we fail to indict without becoming a banana republic?
00:27:39.000Now, she thinks the people are with her.
00:27:55.000What matters is if you draw a jury pool from D.C. and you use heavily charged language and you make him seem as if he is Benito Mussolini, can you get 12 people to agree on insurrection?
00:28:08.000And in some way, insurrection and seditious conspiracy, it's like word games, not in the criminal code, but to a juror, they're like, oh, I hate Trump.
00:30:02.000And then once they leave, reload and then fight them and win.
00:30:05.000What you are living through right now took them decades of preparation while decent and ordinary Americans allowed them to take over everything.
00:30:12.000By the way, just a reminder, stay peaceful.
00:30:14.000That's a metaphor, not a literal thing.
00:30:42.000So we just have to admit that every Republican attorney general in the country is afraid to use the justice system to hold criminals accountable.
00:30:53.000And so basically, we just have to withstand this, and we have to do everything we can to support the good guys in this fight.
00:30:59.000Hopefully, Donald Trump has really talented lawyers that are able to navigate this.
00:31:03.000But this Hunter Biden plea deal points directly towards at the very least seditious conspiracy.
00:31:10.000And Jack Smith, because he just appears to be, he just tries to hit a grand slam.
00:31:15.000You know the type of baseball player, like these eighth graders that play baseball, every time they step up, they're swinging for the fences.
00:31:21.000You're like, dude, like, it's okay to get a walk sometimes.
00:33:26.000It involves all sorts of different people that finally want to have a voice in D.C.
00:33:30.000This is the regime preempting via a, as I say, I've said it before, a legal Pearl Harbor against the center right of this country to make you hide, wither away, and put Donald Trump in prison.
