>> not everybody wealthy a tax cheat but a whole hell of a lot of it. >> laura: pot kettle black. classic. now, you heard the breaking news first right here on the angle right now. hunter biden indicted again on nine new tax charges. including, just three felony counts. he faces 17 years in prison for what the doj is describing as a four year scheme to avoid paying 1.4 million in taxes. prosecutors are saying that he spent money on drugs, escorts, girlfriends, luxury hotels, rental properties, exotic cars, clothing and other items. well, everything but his taxes. hunter made a number of payments using both his personal and his business bank accounts. to quote: various women totaling staggering 68 # thousand dollars and spent 188,000 on. [clearing throat] adult entertainment. let's break down personal expenses. a $1,500 venmo payment in 2018 to exotic dancer for what he called artwork. hmmm. but she hadn't sold him any. strange. he also paid escort for nearly $12,000 to spend two full nights with him. she should have charged more. lucky lady. now, we haven't even gotten to the business expenses yet. another exotic dancer received $773 in a venmo payment from hunter, maybe, i don't know, tango lessons? they are expensive these days. he flew another one across the country and spent tens of thousands of dollars on hotel rooms, many of which were the same ones that he named in his memoir as the locations of his month-long drug and alcohol binge. again, these were labeled as business expenses. >> your son, while there is no ties to you, could be charged by your department of justice. how will that impact your presidency? >> first of all, my son has done nothing wrong. i trust him. i have faith in him. and impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him. >> laura: proud. well, of the fact that hunter also used the business line of credit to make more than $27,000 in payments to an online importanpornowebsite in 2019. [shouting questions] >> i'm very proud of my son. >> laura: hunter stopped paying spousal support to his ex-wife in 2018. that's a lot to be proud of. despite making $2.1 million that year. he blamed tuition costs, rent, and e oh yeah, taxes. you know, the ones he wasn't paying. now, at one point that same ex-wife found hunter's unfilled tax returns. not even filled out. in the trunk of his car. >> we have great confidence in our son. >> um-huh. >> i am not concerned about any accusations that have been made against him. he is the smartest man i know, i mean, pure intellectual capacity. >> laura: oh, there is something pure. i thought we should i suppose consider the source on that one. of course whenever they are pressed about hunter and hunter's valiances. biden's pals fall back on his battle with addiction. >> he loves his son. um, and he is proud of him overcoming his addiction and how he is continuing to build his life. >> no one knows who he is and then when you know the facts of him it's actually sad. a lot of americans are struggling with drug addiction. >> laura: like so much else involving the bidens, this was another and probably one of the worst lies. nice try but prosecutors made very clear that some of hunter biden's misconduct occurred well after he had regained his sobriety. now, thank the good lord for dogged congressional republicans who fought hard to expose the truth and, of course, the two irs whistleblowers gary shapley and joseph ziegler who risked their careers and the wrath of the federal government to tell the story of cover-up and corruption. joining me now is tristan leavitt, attorney for irs whistleblower gary shapely. what is gary's reaction tonight? >> he feels vindicated. he feels vindicated both he and joseph ziegler took a huge risk coming forward. they did it because at the beginning of this your it seemed like the case was dead notwithstanding the very strong findings they brought forward. this absolutely vindicates the claims that were made doubted by so many. in part released to the public right as the justice department announced the sweetheart plea deal. this clearly shows that plea deal was nothing but a slap on the wrist and the stunning facts that are in indictment also vindicate the investigative work of these agents. >> laura: now, hunter's attorney appeared on msnbc earlier today and was asked about whether or not his client was sober when he filed this most recent tax returns. here is his response. >> was he sober when he filed these returns? >> i don't know what year you are talking about i certainly. >> 2018 and 2020. >> i can't sit here today, katy and tell you if there is a 25-page tax return and there is one thing on it that could have been relabeled as something else. that's not the point. >> laura: are we supposed to believe is he sitting there meticulously doing his own taxes? really? >> yeah, it's laughable. but it's -- the fascinating thing about this case is that there is so much out there about those that did help him to prep his taxes and the assistance he received from others, like kevin morris, the hollywood attorney who gave him 4.9 million as joseph ziegler revealed earlier this week. there is a lot of information for the public to see and judge for themselves. >> a source who is close to this story told me today that people should really focus on where this money, outside money came from that went to hunter biden. that the source of the money is something that has kind of been overlooked. do you believe that that, in fact, is something that needs more serious examination? >> it's absolutely significant, the indictment itself really goes into what he spent his money on and what he didn't spend it on. paying his taxes. it doesn't go into where he got all this money. of course, that goes back as the indictment covers in some small portion to the 2014 and 2015 years, the burisma money where the statute of limitations having expired there won't be a deep dive into where, what he did for that money, whether joe biden was involved in that money. and the same for other money from china. so, those are absolutely questions of congressional investigators need to get to the bottom of. >> laura: interest in i should say hunter biden did appear on a podcast today. and revealed what he believes is the source of all of his legal problems. watch. >> this may not in every aspect be of russian disinformation campaign but it has literally every earmark. ha ha, of what the russians did. >> laura: really? russia, russia, russia, again? i thought that was a joke when i first heard it. >> it sounds like one. but, what really isn't a joke is that the allegations that the whistleblowers brought forward weren't just about hunter biden. that's not why the whistleblowers came forward. because doj tried to cover all of this up. david weiss right now is a special counsel. we still believe there needs to be a special counsel to investigate his office's actions because he is the one that completely turned around after interacting with biden administration officials and tried to brush this under the rug. >> that and the source of where this money came from earlier, where the statute of limitations was conveniently allowed to run. tristan, thank you for coming on tonight. we really appreciate it. this is a perfect transition. this indictment doesn't just illustrate hunter's disgusting lured lifestyle. , it also exposes as we were just talking about exactly why joe and special counsel david weiss wanted all of this buried. former chief assistant u.s. attorney fox news contributor andy mccarthy summed it up best. he said the indictment's background allegations get into schemes with various agents of corrupt and an be at this american regimes from whom the biden family business reeled in millions of dollars. burisma, cfc, romania, the largess of sugar bro hollywood lawyer morris and more. now predictably, all day the press down played the indictment, noting, once again, that joe biden himself wasn't mentioned. his brother jim was as are other hunter partners rob walker, james gilyard, devon archer and the founder of cefc that chinese interest. we have all seen the pictures of biden with several of them or is that a body double? now, perhaps, most importantly, weiss included in the indictment something we all knew, burisma cut hunter's salary in 2017, otherwise known as the year that biden left the office of the vice presidency. if the scheme outline and the tax charges are proved, it would be impossible to avoid evidence of joe biden's participation wrote mccarthy. here now sol wisenberg deputy independent counsel fox news contributor and mike davis president of the article iii project. sol, i know you have a prediction on hunter's plea. then we will get into the specifics. but what is that prediction? >> i think it's quite possible he will plead guilty. because, if this comes out before the election or during the election, it's going to be incredibly damaging to president biden. the only way he doesn't do that, i think, is if they would get a continuance and, gosh, wouldn't that be kind of hypocritical to demand a continuance for hunter biden because of the election season and his father where every single court is denying it for president trump? >> laura: well, once again, the question of a pardon came up today, mike, watch. >> in light of new charges, you said before the president would not pardon his son. is that still the case? >> nothings that changed. that is still the case. >> laura: well, to sol's point, mike, if there is some plea deal reached, you know, perhaps at least this next year, of course, there wouldn't be any need tore a pardon. wait until second term for that. >> yeah. david we weiss could have brougt these charges four years ago. handpicked u.s. attorney from both democrat home state senators. they wrote a letter of recommendation. i was the chief counsel for nominations he is their guy. he protected joe biden and the bidens for many years. he continues to protect joe biden. he brought these charges under pressure because a very good judge in delaware called him out on this sweetheart plea deal with this back door pardon. now he is bringing these tax charges against hunter biden, no foreign agent charges against hunter biden related to the tens of millions of dollars the biden family received, and i think president biden will pardon his son after the election. >> laura: sol, it is true, is it not, that the lure rid allegations in this indictment again we will say they are allegations in this indictment that may in fact take away from the source of this money that had been coming into the biden family grift for many years from foreign adversaries from china to romania, obviously what we know from the ukrainian-burisma situation. that really does spell trouble or would have, if the statute hadn't run. for biden himself, perhaps. >> it does focus much less on the foreign money than it does on the lurid lifestyle but, listen, this is a very-well crafted indictment. speaking indictment. it's devastating to hunter biden. and there's absolutely no reason why it couldn't have been done several months ago or a year ago. and it absolutely vindicates the whistleblowers. because this is their evidence that they got and demanded not be ignored. it vindicates them and it shows what an absolute sweetheart deal that plea that imploded was. mike is right. if it hadn't been for the judge asking the right questions and for the greediness. i have to say this. the greediness of hunter's defense attorneys at the time, for all of this hinky language they put in there, remember, the hiding the paragraph in the diversion agreement bridge too far. pigs got fat and hogs get slaughtered. they got slaughtered because they ask for too much. it was too weird in that plea hearing. > >> laura: now, mike, another moment from hunter's podcast appearance today, his thoughts on this prosecution? >> they are trying to destroy a presidency. so it's not about me. what they are trying to do they are trying to kill me knowing it will be a pain greater than my father can be able to handle. so, therefore, destroying a presidency in that way. >> laura: well, every time trump raises an issue like this, the prosecutors are trying to destroy a movement. they just laugh at him. what of that point, mike. >> it's obviously laughable. this david weiss was picked by both democrat senators he protected him for years. this indictment should be the beginning of the investigation. and this should get a lot bigger than hunter biden is and his drugs and his hookers. this implicates the president of the united states that he is compromised by foreign corruption. >> laura: sol and mike, no better analysis. thank you so much. up next, more fallout from that testimony on capitol hill this past week from those college presidents. when is context right for anti-semitism? my angle, next. ♪ how long have you been tracking the value of our car? should we sell it? we hold... our low mileage is paying off. you think we should... hold... hoooold!!! hooold! now!!!! i'm on it. i'm, on it. already sold to carvana. go to carvana and track your car's value today. ♪ >> the rot runs deep. that's the focus of tonight's angle. ♪ >> laura: now she says she's sorry, for what? for saying this. >> anti-semitic rhetoric when it crosses into conduct that amounts to bullying, harassment, intimidation, that is actionable conduct and we do take action. >> so, the answer is yes, that calling for the genocide of jews violates harvard code of conduct, correct? >> again, it depends on the context. >> it does not depend on the context. the answer is yes. and this is why you should resign. >> laura: now, i know what you are thinking. how could someone so ignorant be a president of a university that graduated minds such as teddy roosevelt, t.s. eliot, robert on hen heimer? yet, this is what the left has done to our higher education. now clawed dean gay followed liz magill on the ivy league apology tour. in an interview with the harvard crimson. after their equivocation regarding campus protest, calling for the facing backlash from alumni some of whom have pulled resignations from the schools. calls of resignations are coming from both democrats and republicans the harvard president appeared to at least partly blame the atmosphere of the hearing itself. saying i got caught up in what had become at that point an extended combative exchange about policies and procedures the loopiest line of all is when she added suck stabbively i failed to convey what is my truth insert the chest thump and emoji with the eye roll there. what unfolded on capitol hill this week shouldn't be seen in isolation but instead parted of a continuum of what the diversity, equity and inclusion agenda has done to even our most prestigious universities. none of those women should still have their jobs after what they said. hard to believe any of them would be in their positions if they weren't women. proclaimed victimhood regularly beats out professed excellence. if you are from a recognized minority group, with a decent, but unimpressive record, you, too, can become president of harvard consider ms. quay's own background. before being selected president of harvard she just published 11 peer-reviewed articles and she had not written a single book. her published works are steeped in victimology. the kind that's rewarded on campus. her focus was on black grievance and gender grievance including the impact of gender and race on the politics of black women. as the "boston globe" noted, other college presidents have written dozens and dozens and dozens of articles and even several books. for instance, by comparison former harvard president larry summers had written more articles in a single year, that was way back in 1986, than ms. gay had written in her entire career when she was appointed. but, of course, since summers was a real academic and per received as too demanding and blunt by the snowflakes harvard his tenure as president was cut short. diversity was the major factor in ms. gay's hiring. a fact that even her own colleagues implicitly admitted they raved how she had hired ethnic studies professors as a dean and her support for the creation of an undergraduate concentration in ethnicity, ingeneral nate and migration. mindset know how to blame that game is key to climbing a ladder in academia harvard accomplished much rapidly commitment to issues around climate and sustainability, and the bold agenda of reckoning and repair inspired by the groundbreaking record on harvard and the legacy of slavery. tolerance of vile anti-semitism on campus, it's simply a symptom of a disease that has gripped these universities for decades full of institutions that are not as nearly powerful as they appear think about this. not just harvard, the g.o.p. establishment looked unbeatable in its own primaries until donald trump took them on. disney, vaunted disney looked unbeatable in the state of florida until ron desantis took them on facing huge layoffs and buyouts and now the ivies are facing a similar judgment. president gay and the other witnesses at that hearing never believed though that they would face consequences from they thought their titles and prestige would protect them. they always do. they were wrong. the ivies became very rich and very powerful because they had a reputation for rigger, hard work, tradition, and excellence well that reputation now lies in tatters. not only in washington, but all over the world. if they want to regain it, they need to begin by hiring presidents on the basis of merit and not on grievance. and that's the angle. joining me now is dr. lee, former dei director at danza college and director of the coalition for empowered education. dr. lee, explain why dei is a cause a cause of anti-semitism on college campuses? >> yes. thank you for having me on, laura. one of the big problems with dei it is rooted in a critical social justice ideology often by default. there's other ways to look at things. but, unfortunately this particular world view sees every person as a victim or oppressor and it puts all of us in these categories. the anti-semitism that goes along with it is because some of these sociology justs and others have tried to paint jewish people as, quote: white oppressors. completely disregarding the diaspora. >> the diversity of the diaspora of the jewish people and historical facts. they care nothing about objectivity or facts or, you know, real historical knowledge. instead they repaint everything to align with this ideology that puts us all in this matrix of oppression and domination. >> and also pits people against one another. instead of encouraging a real dialogue of an interesting exchange. difference of opinion, ideology, outlook, instead, does it not demand conformity of thought and speech, publishing comments even in class it hearings you were just showing really showed how three supposed educational leaders could not clearly state if calling for the genocide of jews would go against their campus codes of conduct. they simply could not do it. their ideologies that have gotten them to where they are would prohibit them from saying as such. and it was so disappointing to see that. these are educational leaders of some of our top universities and they lack the moral courage to just say right from wrong. everyone knows that calling for genocide is wrong. a college president should definitely know that. and the testimonies from their students that representative stefanik brought out after these hearings, they really do speak to the environment and the climate and the fear that is being experienced by many jewish students on those campuses and it's due to that failed leadership and moral courage. and i agree with representative stefanik. they should all resign or be removed. >> laura: mi. >> it is standing by its president k
