Many conservatives celebrated when Hunter Biden was convicted and Glenn think he got a fair trial. But now, there's a chance his trial could be appealed to the Supreme Court and become a gun rights question. So, will gun control activists find a way to spin this? Is there a constitutional argument against this even being a crime? Should conservatives and Second Amendment supporters root for Hunter going to jail for THIS crime? Or will it just distract from all the other evidence we have: "Out of all the stuff he did, this is like the preschool stuff. There's 170 [potential] crimes" he could be tried on! Or...will this all end with Joe Biden pardoning his son after the election?

GLENN: The verdict came in. On -- on Hunter Biden. And he was found guilty on all three counts. And I -- I don't know if people were celebrating or what.
I think this is -- as I said to Stu, this is comparing to Donald Trump trial, to this one, is comparing apples to eggs. They are completely different. They don't even -- they both don't come from a tree. One is from a really rotted rooted tree. The Donald Trump trial. And this one, I think just comes from the butt of a chicken.
The Hunter Biden trial, first of all, only happened after the FBI did everything they could, to make this go away.
Then, what do they do?
They take on the least important one. Now, I am all for the rule of law, obviously.
I am a responsible gun owner. You don't lie on your form, when you're doing a background check. You don't lie.
I would go to jail. You would go to jail. Hunter Biden should go to jail. I don't know what the usual is, on jail time for this. I know that it's -- I think it says, on the form, I couldn't find it yesterday. I think it says something like a 20-year prison sentence. Twenty-five-year prison sentence for lying under oath, blah, blah, blah. But I don't know what the usual is for a first time offender. But he should get it now.
There's the constitutional part. And I can't believe this. Because I think the left thinks they're going to win because this is going to go to trial. To the Supreme Court perhaps.
And it's going to become a gun question. A gun rights question.
And if he -- if he wins that, then the -- what? The right will get exactly what they want. More rights. Less regulation?
Okay. I'll take that. Yeah. But he'll lose him not going to jail. Yeah. But he's going to jail out of the worst stuff he did.
This is like the preschool stuff. What are you talking about.
There's 170 crimes, that he has been implicated in.
170.
When he was in Arizona, he was on his way to rehab.
He dropped off his car, at the rental facility, near the airport, where he accidentally left personal ID and a crack pipe. Oh, and a bag of cocaine in the car. And nothing was done.
I don't know. I don't know. That's kind of a big deal. A woman who is currently in jail, in Connecticut, for other crimes, apparently arranged a meeting with Hunter to bring him crack cocaine, later that month.
According to Hunter's texts, which, by the way, all the evidence that was in -- used in this trial, all came from the laptop. So I would like an apology from the mainstream media, that there was nothing there. Nothing credible.
That that was totally hyped up. That that was Russian disinformation. I would like an apology. Because apparently, the court system found that it was okay to look at. And was credible.
Later that month, the texts on his laptop, showed that he was not only consuming drugs, but trafficking them.
As well as arranging sex with women. The sex crimes in Connecticut, are -- let's just say. Wow.
In -- I mean, it would take a drug-fueled -- I mean, I don't know how he performs. Anyway, he solicited women for sex.
One after another, as they would leave his room. Then he solicited more prostitutes. The next day, he solicited a third prostitute.
But he didn't stop there. He continued to solstice prostitutes throughout his time in Connecticut. Even recording a video of him having sex with a prostitute and smoking crack.
The money transfers revealed thousands of dollars paid to these prostitutes.
And is prostitution, is doing all of this, is this legal in Connecticut? Are you cool with that?
By the way, he took his crimes to Delaware, where he was doing drug deals. One with a registered sex offender. And smoked crack with them. Hunter made sure that his crack use was on camera. Again, he was caught naked doing drugs at a public spa. He then bought the fun. Lied about his drug use. And continued to have more fun with prostitutes. In Florida, when Hunter sent money to a Ukrainian escort, the transfer was flagged by JPMorgan as possible human trafficking.
Okay. We haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet.
Okay? I'm just going to -- I'm just going to leave you with the note from JPMorgan.
There were 170 times banks sent out a yellow flag, to the federal government, saying, there's something wrong here.
This is human trafficking. This is money laundering. But there's something wrong. 170 times.
That -- that's the crime here!
That's the crime.
And what they're trying to do is -- they only prosecuted when they absolutely had no other choice.
They couldn't do anything else.
I think justice was served.
We'll see what the -- the sentencing is.
But this is not the thing to prosecute him on.
This is the thing to prosecute him, and then say, oh, come on. He's going to jail. He's doing his time.
And see, he was -- he was convicted of a felony. So -- so was Donald Trump. In fact, the health of our republic has never been stronger.
Because look, Donald Trump, he -- he was president. He's probably going to jail. And the first time ever, the son of a president, is also going to jail on a known. That's not good for the health of a republic in the first place.
That shows, if both are true. Shows we have a real problem with the people in leadership.
But both of them aren't true. Again, apples and eggs.
This one was prosecuted on me when they couldn't get away with everything they were trying to do to get away with sweeping this under the rug.
So then they prosecuted him. He was convicted by a jury of his peers.
The one up in New York, every possible thing, every dirty trick. Every twist of the law. Even to the point of making up a law. Where the federal government said, no.
That's not a violation of the law. But then they took it to a state court. And said, yes. That is against the law.
But it would be a federal crime. And so state courts have no jurisdiction. I mean, they did things that have never, ever been done did before.
And I think Alan Dershowitz was right. When he said, the best thing that could happen, is that Hunter Biden could be set free. Hunter Biden would be found not guilty.
He said, because then, at least people would start to realize, that we are the laughing stock of the world.
Aren't -- our justice system, which used to be the most admired, is now the laughing stock of the world.
I mean, how do you go for him, with -- with this gun charge, when he -- we know what he did with Ukrainian and Chinese patrons. He -- he was soliciting money.
He never registered as a foreign agent. He avoided all oversight and regulation that comes with that. They're completely ignoring the, hey, hold back 10 percent for the big guy.
When under oath, several witnesses have said, the big guy was Joe Biden.
I mean, they -- they raked in millions of dollars, selling our country out!
I don't know. I think that's a bigger crime, myself. You know. Jesse James. You know, he wasn't -- he wasn't wanted for jaywalking. Just -- you know.
I'm just saying.
Bonnie and Clyde. You know, they -- when they were at the bank. They wrote the note that said, give us all your money. And they took the pin along with him. Can we get him on the pin thing.
Am I wrong with this, Stu? Is this how we see this whole thing.
STU: They did take the pen.
GLENN: I know. They did take the pen.
STU: The pen was taken. I find it. Yes. I think it was interesting.
As we said before, the verdict even came out: It's the least interesting of all the things against Hunter Biden. There is a constitutional amendment against -- constitutional argument against this even being a crime in the first place.
But, in theory, he should still go to prison.
You know, the -- the -- the sentencing guidelines for this crime. Are 15 to 21 months.
So 2019 to 2023. Just 53 defendants were sentenced in a similar category, as Hunter Biden. But 92 percent of them were sentenced to serve prison time. Median prison term of 15 months.
Only 8 percent of people in that category received probation or a fine. So he should --
GLENN: I would like to see him go to jail for 18 months.
That's fine. Something to jail for 18 months. And you know why I say this. Not only do I want the fair -- I don't want the judge to take into consideration anything else, other than the crime they've just convicted him for.
And if the average is 18 months, then great. Give him 18 months. Whatever.
But Joe Biden, I believe, after the election, is going to pardon his son. To get him away from prison. He probably will serve maybe a month.
Maybe a month. He's not going to be sentenced, until when? October.
STU: I thought the sentencing will be a little bit more than that. That doesn't mean necessarily he goes to prison. Like for example, he also could stay out, while his appeal is pending, which would definitely push past the election.
GLENN: Correct. Right. And after the election, Joe Biden will do what this dad has done, that has made his son into the monster that he is.
And that is pardon him, lessen the consequences.
You know, help him out, because I really believe in you, son. You know, at times, you just have to let them fall.
STU: Yeah. And that's a normal parenting move, if you don't have a large international illegal business working with the guy that he's the kingpin of.
Like, you need to have him covering for you.
GLENN: On your side. Yeah.
STU: Every step of the way. So you really can't do the thing that a parent should do. And let him fall.
You can't do that.
GLENN: Yeah. So yesterday, Joe Biden gave a speech about gun control. Of all things.
STU: And didn't mention. Incredible that he doesn't mention this at all.
He doesn't mention the Hunter thing at all. While he's pushing for this new restrictive laws. Incredible.
GLENN: Right. Right. Right.
But, again, in this, he talks about.
Let me give you a couple.
Here's the gun sense speech. Cut four.
You can't be pro-law enforcement. And be pro-law enforcement. And abolish the AFT.
GLENN: Now, I don't know what the AFT is. Do you know what the AFT -- I know what the ATF is.
I don't know what the AFT is.
STU: The American Federation of Teachers.
So he's talking. I don't know why that was relevant, per se, to this.
That's what he --
GLENN: Yeah. But he went through.
Cut six, please.
BIDEN: By the way, if they want to take out government, if they get out of line. Which they're talking again about.
Guess what, they need F-15s. They don't need a rifle.
STU: Oh, God.
First of all, it's hard to understand anything anyone says. Secondly, that's the dumbest point in the world.
GLENN: Oh, my gosh.
Tell that to the people who are now running Afghanistan.
And if anybody should have learned that lesson, it would be Joe Biden.
I don't know. They must have F-15s. They seemed to do pretty well!
STU: They weren't really as well off as the American people are.
GLENN: No. No. They're not.
STU: They were able to do that against the world's most powerful military, because of one terrible leader, who happened to be the commander-in-chief.
GLENN: No. Right.
Let me -- let me go to -- let me go to Biden here. One more time.
Play that. You need F-15s. Play that again.
By the way, if they want to take on government, if we get out of line. Which they're talking again about. If we say what, they need F-15s. They don't need a rifle.
STU: That's so stupid.
GLENN: Is he the Biden. Have we mixed this up? Is he the Biden that is on crack?
STU: I don't know that crack makes you that lethargic. Again, maybe never having done it myself. Just for the show, do something.
Just understand.
GLENN: Right. Let's try to actually -- one more time. Try to understand, what he is actually saying there. Go ahead.
BIDEN: By the way, if they want to take on government, if we get out line, which they're talking again about. Well, guess what, they need F-15s, they don't need rifles.
GLENN: I don't know what he said. I have no idea what he said.
STU: Oh. I think he said, if you want to take on government. And then he says something like an aside where he says, and they're talking about all doing that again.
So he's trying to basically say that they're --
GLENN: Who is talking about that?
STU: Oh, it's a huge piece of conversation.
GLENN: It's happening daily?
STU: A lot of people online, talking about that.
GLENN: Let's take care on the government.
STU: This is so specifically designed to say, they just want that picture.
You look down your driveway. And tanks are rolling up. And all you have is your AR-15.
And it's like, again, I guess there is a scenario, where they could defeat every American by just nuking every city.
But like, what is the use of -- of govern over such a society? After it's a nuclear wasteland.
Like, yeah. The whole point --
GLENN: We won!
STU: Yeah. We won. Hang on, my ear fell off.
STU: I mean, this is -- over and over and over again, we've seen people with small arms, be able to repel.
It's really hard to go door to door and overwhelm a population. Really freaking difficult to do.
We found it very difficult. The land war in Asia from Princess Bride was specifically designed to remind him --
GLENN: Land war in Asia!
