♪ >> you weaponized the justice department in terms of hiding and protecting democrats, menendez, cuellar and hunter biden. >> we do not allow the political party or the ethnicity or the religion or the race or the wealth or the influence of someone we're investigating to make a difference in our charging decisions. >> i don't think one case proves that at all. the american people are intelligent and they understand intuitively what is happening here and they see a two tiered system. >> gillian: time to bring in our panel charlie hurt opinion editor for "the washington times." josh homies co-host of the ruthless podcast. former chief of staff to senator mitch mcconnell and "u.s.a. today" white house correspondent francesca chambers. thanks, guys for all being here in person. >> great to be here. >> gillian: in person. josh, the speaker of the house you just heard there say the american people see in the hunter biden trial a two tiered system of justice. the reality though is it's

pretty incredible that you have a sitting president's son on trial facing criminal charges as much as 25 years in prison in this case. it's certainly not something we have seen before. >> it's pretty incredible to have the son of a president crack addict, a drug addict. owning a firearm illegally, right? i mean he did these things allegedly and that's what he is being tried for. i found it endlessly humorous one component today federal prosecutors were introducing a laptop as evidence against hunter biden. of course our intelligence experts four years ago told us it had all the hallmarks of russian disinformation boy has the worm turned on that. we will see what happens ultimately with this trial. republicans have a lot of reason to believe that there has been a two tiered system of justice for quite some time. >> gillian: charlie, politico writes today take a look at this biden and his family were involved in brief discussions

early in the term about not seeking re-election to ease the burden on his son, according to four people with knowledge of the matter. but they said those worries were set aside when the family, including hunter, urged the president to run again, especially as former president donald trump appeared poised to make a comeback. i found that remarkable if true. >> it really is they clearly did put aside all those concerns. and is he running again. and whatever the -- you know, whatever the cost it may be. but it also, i think, important to remember that, you know, we wouldn't be sitting here now abwith the hunter biden trial if there hadn't been such enormous efforts by prosecutors up and down the line from delaware to washington, d.c. to prevent. biden. also kind. the biden administration to the trump administration in real time. it's a pretty compacted.

compare the biden trial the trump trial right next to each other. and it's going to be interesting to watch. virtually back to back. >> i think they are apples to oranges in that the hunter biden case is a slam dunk case. whether you think the charges should be -- and. the charges were made up, so much to the point most people don't even know what he was found guilty of. convicted felon according to the democrats. >> so, let's turn our attention to the other big news of the day, which is the biden executive order on immigration, francesca, you were in the room during this announce -789d today. come to you first. take a look at the latest fox news ranking polls. critics of the president who have been calling this political stunt essentially basing their claim on this biden's job approval on border security is

just 33%, if we can put those polls up and on immigration at large more voters, 56% trust trump to do a better job than biden these two issues now we know two concerns for voters nationwide and we are just five months away from the election now. >> and is he drawing criticism from some democrats on this same issue in terms of if he thought that he had this executive authority in the first place, why didn't he use it before now? and his argument today was essentially that this has gotten bad enough as a crisis, it's become very urgent, that congress hadn't acted, and so he felt that he needed to do something that doing nothing was not an option as he said in the american people's patience was wearing thin. immediately you heard from republicans why didn't do you something before and democrats asking essentially whether or not this was for politics as well in some cases and

criticizing him saying this was an inhumane policy. >> gillian: josh, biden again today appeared to blame former president trump, at least in part for the border today. he hearkened back again to claims the trump tanked the border negotiations that were underway what he said. we came to a strongest border in decades. then, republicans in congress, not all of them, walked away from it why? because donald trump told them. to say today i'm moving past republican obstruction and using executive authorities available to me as president. >> ha ha ha. i'm actually kind of surprised can he do a lot of this with a straight face. just a trip down memory lane in the first three months of hills administration. he ended the remain in mexico policy. he ended restrictions of immigrant visas from places like i don't know, yemen, iran,

stopped deportations, started daca, terminated the border wall on and on and on. these were executive actions. actually taken at the front end of this administration. everything he's done has created the crisis that he is now blaming republicans for that somehow he fixed. and by the way he could have done any of these executives action at any point during this crisis. it is frankly stunning election year politics to be honest with you. >> gillian: charlie, what remains missing from today's policy as far as we can tell so far is like the mechanism by which this new policy gets enforced. i was watching bill melugin report earlier from california. and he was saying it's not like at 2500 magic happens and a wall miraculously appears and thousands of border agents, you know, emerge from the bushes to help manage the situation. there's nothing really new in place in terms of resources. >> yeah. you are either serious about the border or or you are not serious

about the border. joe biden i think he is serious about the border. is he serious about an open border. is he not serious about having a controlled border. he has handed the border over as josh pointed out to, you know, human smugglers and drug smugglers to drug cartels and that's his policy. and it's -- you know, and by the way that's antihuman, it's anti-children. it's anti-legal immigrant. and i think that the stunning thing to me about this announcement today is the admission that he has been lying for three years. he could have done something about it. he has refused to. he is choosing to do something five months before the election because he realizes that it's hurting him and it's not just republican voters, it's democrat voters. and independent voters. who are appalled by what this administration has wrought. and when you look around, you know, at a place like new york city, where they are, you know, taxpayers are footing the bill to house hundreds of thousands, if not millions of these migrants in hotels around the

country where young people coming out of college today are struggling to find housing it's insane and highly unpopular and admission that this is potentially going to hurt. >> question whether this would hold up in court. being raised. certainly legal challenges will be raised with this. and there was a democratic lawmaker today who told reporters that the white house has assured them that they have vetted this, that they believe that they're on solid legal ground and so that seems to be something that has taken up some time here as well for president biden is the white house determining that he did have the legal authority to do what he just did. >> gillian: guys, we have got to leave there. i'm aware we can take all hour to talk about today. thank you for joining us. great to see you guys finally tonight a somber throwback.
