With drug addiction, alcohol abuse, and in and out of rehab, which he wrote about openly in his book. Hunter biden, his legal team, and really the whole white house had hoped this would be in the Rearview Mirror by now, but his plea deal collapsed over the summer in stunning fashion. Now tonight his legal team is vowing to fight these new charges. This charge brought today violates the agreement the government made with hunter biden. That was a standalone agreement different than this plea. Second, the constitutionality of these charges are very much in doubt. And third, if it got past those two and we dont think it would if there were ever a trial on the facts, we dont think the facts are as your experts thinks them to be. Hunter owned an unloaded gun for 11 days. There will never have been a charge like this brought in the United States. Well see how those arguments end up and if it works out in court. But what all of this means is that we could be in a pretty remarkable place, where hunter biden could be on trial, as his father is running for reelection against the former president , who could also potentially be on trial or really maybe trials next year. To bring all of this into perspective, maybe, if they can do that its a tall order former federal prosecutor Jennifer Rogers and former Deputy Assistant to President Biden, jamal simmons, are with me. Jennifer, can we put into perspective, how often is a case like this brought against someone who is a firsttime offender . Virtually never. I think the paperwork offense, the lying on the form, thats brought occasionally. Ive never seen it. But i can see in an instance particularly if you have a dangerous offender it can be brought if they have nothing else to bring. But this person in possession of a firearm and adding to possession of firearm, we used to bring cases all the time where you had a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. I have never seen this addict in possession of a firearm charged anywhere. So, theyre saying he lied about it when he filled out that form. Youre supposed to say that youre not on any controlled substances and he said that he wasnt and essentially wrote in his book that he was. But the law that is being used, what abby lowell was mentioning there, its on shaky ground. Is that going to be a chance that abby lowell and Hunter Bidens legal team could be successful in arguing this law is not something you could prosecute this on . For sure. I think he laid it out really well. He said, you have a couple of legal challenges. One is the constitutional challenge. After the Supreme Court decision in brewen, all these Gun Possession Charges are in question, these gun possession laws, because now what the court is saying is its much harder to charge someone with possessing a firearm if it wasnt in place the time our founders created the constitution. So, hes right on that. And, you know, the facts also, as he said, a problem for them too. Joel, obviously this is not something that a white house wants to see. You used to work in this particular white house. When Something Like this happens, they thought it was going to be finished with a plea deal over the summer. That fell apart while they were actually in court. How does whats going on inside the white house right now tonight . So, i think in the best of all worlds, this would have been resolved in july when they had the plea agreement. Thats not happened. The question is, as abby lowell laid out, were going to see this get resolved in court or some agreement Going Forward. If youre in the white house, youre thinking, what is the president doing every day . This has nothing to do with the president of United States. This is a private citizen who had an addiction issue, like twothirds of American Families recognize they have someone in their family that has an addiction issue. This is a private american. So, if youre at the white house, what youre thinking about is, lets keep the president focused on the business at hand. Bring together the cancer cabinet. Lets talk about Bidenomics Versus the maga nomics. So, youre focus on the issues, not being focused on this private issue for the president s family. Thats pretty difficult to do, i mean, given the fact that an Impeachment Inquiry has just been launched on chill thats related to hunter biden. And now you saw republicans responding to this today. How does this complicate his campaign if hes running he will be. He says hes running next year obviously. If he is running and this is going to be brought up by donald trump or by which republican is running against him. If youre donald trump, you want to bring it up all the time. Look at them, theyre in trouble too. The magnitude of what were talking about is completely different. Again, twothirds of americans have a Family Member who has an addiction issue. This is a president who he loves his son. Hes made that very clear. And the two big pieces of evidence that they have is that hunter, whose last name is biden, told people his father was Vice President when he was out pitching business and secondly that the president may have talked to some of those folks from time to time and talked to them about the weather. Those are the two big issues here. I dont know if those are the kinds of things the American Public would republicans would disagree with you on the former half of that and what theyre looking for here. The other part of this though is that when you look at these charges, this is related to the gun he bought. There are also the tax charges, the misdemeanors that he was going to plead guilty to. They could still charge him with that here potentially. Its unclear if david weiss, the special counsel, will. They also could potentially look at his foreign Business Dealings. This doesnt necessarily seem this is the end of the road for Hunter Bidens legal issues. So, what happened here was that the statute of limitations was about to expire. So, prosecutors, having failed to reach an agreement with him, had to charge him or let him go. It may be that they dont want to try this case, that theyre still willing to negotiate some sort of solution. But i do think they will charge him with the tax offenses if they cant reach some sort of agreement. He already agreed to plead guilty to the misdemeanor. I think those are definitely coming. The business stuff, i dont know. We havent seen evidence of that, despite extensive investigation. I think the tax ones are coming, and hopefully to be fair to everyone, they can wrap it up in a similar deal to what didnt manage to happen a couple months ago. The former president was asked to weigh in on this tonight. You were talking about what hes going to be saying about it on the campaign trail next year. This was his answer when asked about Hunter Bidens charges. I think theres no question about it. He was a plea deal that was the deal of the century. The art of the deal. You could write a book on it, the art of the deal. All of a sudden, that was broken up by a judge who was able to see through what was happening. What do you make of that response . You know, the very fact these charges are brought against Hunter Biden Undercuts a pretty big points the republicans have been trying to make the and the former president has been trying to make. Theres a twotier Justice System. What we have when we strip away the wrapping the Donald TrumpsJustice Department did not file any charges against joe biden or his family. The biden Justice Department did file charges against joe bidens family. The idea theres a twotier Justice System is thrown out on its face when you see the biden Justice Department going after the president s son. Part of that sound bite that was missing from that was where trump says, no one should be happy about this. How do you think republicans are handling that . Well, its the right thing to say because no one should be happy about it. James comer is saying, this is just a small smart. Unless they investigate everyone involved, it will be clear theyre protecting theyre pushing back completely on what youre arguing that this is proof its not a twotiered Justice System. Of course theyre going to say that because what else do they have to say. Theyre the same people who went after Hillary Clinton on these issues on quote, unquote scandals when she was Secretary Of State because they wanted to have a political issue in the campaign. The president the former president himself, donald trump, is making the case that it may have been retribution, i think he said in one of his earlier interviews, right . If they hadnt come after me, maybe they wouldnt be going after his son. This is not about the politics of this. This in a sense. This is about donald trump fomenting an armed insurrection against the capitol of the United States to keep himself in power. Youre saying its separate. Its very different. Whats next year, quickly before we go . Well, i hope they can negotiate something. They charged because they had to. I hope they can work something out. Theyve got a lot of good defenses to this, so its going to be a real fight. And its got no jury appeal. I dont see a Jury Convicting if they get to that stage. Thank you both for joining.

We are less than three hours away right now from a huge and historic strike, potentially, that could rattle the u. S. Economy. Thousands of auto workers may be walking out on the socalled Big Three Auto Makers if their contract expires at midnight. Thats general motors, ford, and stellantis, which is the new company that includes chrysler. There has never been a simultaneous strike against the big three in u. S. History. The stakes are so high that President Biden himself has been working the phones today, speaking to both the auto makers and the United Auto Workers union. A strike like this just wouldnt impact the auto industry. It could have an impact on everyone who drives a car. One report estimates that a 10day strike would cost the u. S. Economy more than 5 billion, 2 billion the result of drivers who cant get their cars repaired because dealers wont have the parts. The uaw is sticking to its demands tonight, including a 40 pay hike, Cost Of Living increases, and Health Care Coverage for retired workers. But the big three are far from meeting those demands. And what they have counterproposed, instead offering pay increases max of 20 at gm and ford, with stellantis a little lower than that. This is a Moment Shawn Feign has been predicting for weeks now. This trash can is overflow being the bull [ bleep ] that the big three continue to peddle. September 14th is a deadline, not a reference point. And ive got a question for you. Are you ready to rumble . Joining me now, someone who is watching this closely, michigan congressman tlaib, whose father worked for Ford Motor Company and was a uaw member. You can see it on your shirt right there, congresswoman. As youre watching this closely tonight, do you believe that a deal can be reached by midnight . You know, im not sure. Everyone hopes that, even the workers. Folks are, you know, anxious about this. But they know whats at stake. So many of our uaw neighbors throughout my district constantly tell me how theyre struggling, that theyre living check by check. They should be able to take care of their families like my dad did. They know whats at stake, and theyre willing to use one of the most powerful tools we have in our country to fight against corporate greed, which is the right to strike. Do you think a strike is inevitable . I dont know. But were going to find out today. President fain is going to address live on facebook. Hes being as transparent as possible. But know this. The big three waited five weeks they had the proposal from the uaw, five weeks with no response. Thats why they had to file a Labor Violation because they were just, you know, again, moving so incredibly slow and not being responsive. So, im not surprised that were close to midnight on the day of the deadline that the contract expires and that folks are talking about striking. It shouldnt be a surprise to jim farley and every single other ceo that All Of A Sudden theyre trying to hustle and figure out what to do. They knew, again, what the demands of the uaw was. And sure, we got some progress. But they didnt move fast enough. Im glad you brought up jim farley. Hes the ceo of for. The uaw wants, as we noted their demands, a 40 wage increase over four years. Jim farley says those demands would put ford out of business, was the quote he used. What do you say to him in that response . You know, jimmy, 20 billion in i think he got, like, a 40 increase in his ceo salary. Maybe thats whats going to lead to, you know, bankruptcy for his company that he works for. Maybe he should take a pay cut like many of the uaw workers that helped ford stay afloat in 2009. They took a hit. They sacrificed and got rid of cola. We have the majority of the uaw workers in our country doesnt even have a pension. For me, if anything, they should have paid more attention, should have invested more into the workforce that is the reason that theyre making record profits. That is not
