00:00:04.060 The judge dismisses Hunter Biden tax charges. Judge Mary Ellen Noreka dismissing two federal
00:00:10.780 misdemeanor tax charges against Hunter Biden. The judge dismissed those charges after Special
00:00:16.840 Counsel David Weiss moved to dismiss them last week in order to potentially bring charges in
00:00:22.640 Washington, D.C. or California, both favorable jurisdictions for Hunter Biden.
00:00:30.000 We'll now wait and see how Special Counsel David Weiss proceeds. Will he continue to work for
00:00:34.800 Hunter Biden as he has for five years? Or will he finally start to represent the American people
00:00:40.420 and the law? The Biden regime approves delivery of F-16s to Ukraine. The United States approving
00:00:47.760 the transfer of F-16s from Denmark and the Netherlands to Ukraine. This is the first
00:00:53.100 delivery of F-16s to Ukraine since the war started. Kiev could now deploy the jets as soon as this
00:00:59.800 winner. This a clear sign from the Biden administration that this war goes on. Former
00:01:06.380 Attorney General William Barr says Trump cases won't be tried before the election. Barr says
00:01:13.020 the Georgia case is much too sweeping and much too broad and he says he believes the New York
00:01:18.640 and Georgia cases won't go to trial before the election. I'm not happy with the Georgia case.
00:01:24.340 I think it's much too sweeping, much too broad, excessive case that is, you know, make it look
00:01:31.360 like people are piling on and being excessive to Trump and feed the narrative that he's being
00:01:36.240 victimized here. And I also think there's merit in the point that this is a case that I don't think
00:01:41.860 it's going to be triable before the election. It's just too sprawling. Can any of them be tried before
00:01:46.060 the election? I think the two federal cases will be tried. And they are, I think, the responsible
00:01:50.780 cases. They're far more focused. And I think they can be and will be tried before. The New York case
00:01:57.960 is, you know, obviously a political hit job. And in my opinion, it's a joke.
00:02:02.540 His business dealings and everything. Right. Well, it was the payoff. And I think at the end
00:02:10.020 of the day, that may not be tried. I think it could just be pushed out because I think
00:02:13.820 Bragg would be worried about actually bringing it to trial. Please join us today for our Great
