Vivek Ramaswamy perfectly explains what Hunter Biden’s charges are REALLY about: 'It’s a sham!'



Earlier this week, Hunter Biden was charged with three felonies relating to the purchase of a gun back in 2018.

Many speculate that these specific charges are part of a bigger plan to thwart Donald Trump — especially considering illegal gun ownership merely scratches the surface of Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes.

“What they want to do is take Hunter Biden and make this all about the illegal gun purchase, and then his dad can either pardon him or not,” says Dave Rubin, “but they want to equate that with the Donald Trump complete sham trial.”

Vivek Ramaswamy explained this in detail in a recently posted video.

“So Hunter Biden was convicted. Big freaking deal. This trial was a sham, just like the Trump trial. … It's a sham designed to legitimize the Trump conviction. That’s why it came right after,” the former candidate explained.

“It also avoids accountability for the Biden crime family on the actual things Hunter Biden should have been charged for — like for example peddling for an influence while his actual father, Joe Biden, was the vice president of the United States,” Ramaswamy continued.

“Hunter had no business serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy company — a state-affiliated energy company that's affiliated with the same country, Ukraine, that his father, the U.S. president, is sending hundreds of billions of dollars of your taxpayer money to. That's where the real crimes lie.”

“So this deflects accountability for the actual investigations that are more close to implicating Joe Biden, while coming in convenient timing right after the sham Trump conviction in the veil of bipartisanship. Don't buy it,” he concluded.

“Vivek is completely right on that,” agrees Dave. “Whether [Hunter] serves jail time or not is irrelevant. They're getting him on [gun charges] because they want the average person to now be like, ‘Oh, I remember what happened to Trump last week, and he's a convicted criminal,’ and ‘Oh, they also did it to the president's son; he's a convicted criminal.'”

Trump promises to ELIMINATE taxes on tips



Donald Trump’s first rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, since his New York City hush-money conviction was as expected: eventful.

Not only did six people get rushed to the hospital for exposing themselves to the blistering heat to support the former president, but he nailed some critiques of Joe Biden’s disastrous immigration policies and proposed eliminating service industry tip taxes.

“The illegal immigrants are turning, and they’re turning at a level that nobody’s ever seen before. They’re fighting our families, they’re totally destroying our black population, they’re totally destroying our Hispanic population, and you know what else they’re destroying?” Trump said to the crowd, adding, “They’re killing unions.”

“They’re not able to survive this onslaught,” Trump said. “Virtually 100% of the new jobs under Biden have also gone to illegal aliens. Did you know that?”

Then, Trump gave service workers some much needed hope.

“This is the first time I’ve said this, and for those hotel workers, and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips, people making tips,” he said before the crowd roared with applause.

“We’re not going to do it, and we’re going to do that right away, first thing in office, because it’s been a point of contention for years, and years, and years. And you do a great job of service, you take care of people, and I think it’s going to be something that really is deserved,” he continued.

Sara Gonzales is pleased but doesn’t think he went far enough.

“I don’t benefit from it, but if we can roll back anything in relation to taxes, it’s good,” Gonzales says. “It’s like okay, step one, what is step two? What else are we not going to tax anymore? Let’s just keep going on that, if we can start there and keep going, just use that momentum to talk about other taxes that we are going to roll back.”

Hunter Biden trial goes to jury after closing arguments



Hunter Biden is currently standing trial for allegedly purchasing and possessing a firearm illegally in late 2018, and the case has now gone to the jury after both sides made closing arguments on Monday.

Closing arguments

In its closing arguments, the prosecution claimed that at the time Biden purchased a Colt revolver from the StarQuest Shooters in Wilmington, Delaware, he was an "habitual" drug "addict" who "had lost control."

Prosecutor Leo Wise told the jury that evidence of Biden's crack addiction in the months before and after he purchased the gun on October 12, 2018, was "personal," "ugly," and "overwhelming." Furthermore, the prosecution claimed it didn't have to prove that Biden had used illegal drugs on the date the gun was purchased to demonstrate that he was an addict at the time, a key argument of the defense.

Lowell argued that the excerpts of the audiobook were meant to 'blur' Biden's state of mind at the time he purchased the gun with other instances of drug use to which he admitted 'after the fact.'

"The defendant knew he used crack and was addicted to crack at the relevant time period," Wise added.

"You can convict on those facts alone."

Wise also instructed the jury not to be swayed by the high-profile people, including first lady Jill Biden, sitting in the courtroom gallery to support Biden.

"People sitting in the gallery are not evidence," he said. "You may recognize them from the news, … but respectfully, none of that matters."

For its part, the defense has attempted to separate Biden's well-documented drug use in the months leading up to October 2018 from his behavior and state of mind between October 12, when the gun was purchased, until October 23, when Hallie Biden — the widow of Biden's brother, Beau, who became romantically involved with Hunter Biden following Beau's death in 2015 — threw the gun away.

Defense attorney Abbe Lowell noted in closing arguments that none of the prosecution's witnesses had personally seen "actual drug use" from Biden that month. Gordon Cleveland, the former StarQuest Shooters employee who sold Biden the weapon, also did not sense that Biden was under the influence that day, Lowell said.

Lowell slammed prosecutors for playing an audiobook version of Biden's memoir, "Beautiful Things," narrated by Biden.

"They spent hours, I mean literally hours, recounting Hunter Biden’s terrible journey with alcohol and drug use," Lowell claimed.

Lowell argued that the excerpts of the audiobook were meant to "blur" in the minds of the jury Biden's state of mind at the time he purchased the gun with other instances of drug use to which he admitted "after the fact." Lowell described this legal strategy as a kind of "magician's trick": "Watch this hand, pay no attention to the other one."

Finally, Lowell insisted that all the accusations from prosecutors and their witnesses were based on "suspicion" and "conjecture." "With this very high burden, it’s time to end this case," he told the jury, calling for an acquittal.

Anything else?

The defense was expected to call President Joe Biden's brother, James Biden, to the stand on Monday but did not do so. Hunter Biden also didn't take the stand in his own defense.

Prosecutors did call FBI special agent Erika Jensen back to the stand to testify to text messages Biden allegedly exchanged to arrange drug deals at 7-Eleven convenience stores in and around the time of the gun purchase.`

"It’s Q. I’m at 7-11 now," someone wrote to Biden on October 11.

Biden allegedly replied, "Meet me at 7-11 at 3."

The defense had previously dismissed another text message Biden sent to Hallie Biden, appearing to reference a meeting with a drug dealer named "Mookie," as Blaze News previously reported. The defense claimed Biden had made up the meeting with the drug dealer to avoid seeing Hallie.

Finally, Judge Maryellen Noreika denied a motion from the defense to add language favorable to Biden in her jury instructions. Specifically, the defense wanted Noreika to reiterate the word "knowledge" and further explicate the phrase "reasonable doubt," but she declined.

The case went to the jury sometime during the afternoon on Monday. How long they may have deliberated before recessing for the night is unclear.

170 crimes Hunter Biden SHOULD be on trial for



Hunter Biden is in court for allegedly lying on a federal form to purchase a gun in 2018 — and he should be on trial for a lot more.

“These federal level crimes again are a part of the government and media’s misdirection. They would love us to zoom in and just look at that,” Glenn Beck explains, noting that there are a whopping 170 crimes Hunter is implicated in.

On October 27, 2016, Hunter was under the influence of crack when he crashed his car in Arizona on his way to rehab. Hunter then dropped off his second car at the rental facility near the airport where he accidentally left personal IDs, a crack pipe, and a bag filled with cocaine in it.

Before the lab test came in proving that it was cocaine, both the city and county attorney decided not to prosecute.

“Why? Would your family member ever get the same courtesy?” Glenn asks.

Arizona isn’t the only state that’s let Hunter off unscathed.

In Connecticut, a woman who is currently in jail for other crimes arranged a meeting with Hunter to bring him crack cocaine. Later that month, Hunter’s texts revealed he was not only consuming drugs but trafficking them — as well as arranging sex with women.

“Have you heard about the Connecticut sex crimes, ‘cause the sex crimes, wow,” Glenn says.

Hunter solicited a woman for sex after another woman left his room, where he then solicited two more prostitutes through an online escort service.

The next day, Hunter solicited a third prostitute — but he didn’t stop there. He continued to solicit prostitutes throughout his time in Connecticut, even recording a video of him having sex with a prostitute and smoking crack.

Money transfers reveal thousands of dollars paid to these prostitutes.

“Is there anyone in Connecticut that would like to maybe prosecute for a crime?” Glenn asks, shocked.

Hunter also took his crimes to Delaware, where he was doing drug deals — one with a registered sex offender — and smoking crack. Hunter made sure his crack use was on camera again, when he was caught naked doing the drugs at a public spa.

Hunter then bought a gun and lied about his drug use, before discarding his gun in a trash can at a grocery store.

As he continued his fun with more prostitutes, no arrests were made.

In Florida, when Hunter sent money to a Ukrainian escort, the transfer was flagged by JP Morgan as possible human trafficking.

These crimes continue across the country, with no repercussions.

“One hundred seventy of these that we know of, 170 times the banks sent out an alert saying, ‘We think there’s something wrong here,” Glenn says.

“These are the crimes that we know about and have clear cut evidence, like open and shut case here,” he continues, adding, “It’s weird, they see the Biden name and immediately stop pursuing the case.”
