>> sean: welcome to hannity and tonight early voting in the commonwealth of pennsylvania gets underway in only 12 days. the first mail-in ballots will be sent out to voters this friday. that will be tomorrow in north carolina and the election is a mere 60 days away. kamala harris, tim walz have conducted only one short interview combined they've both literally run from every question even though shouted by friendly reporters. they have held a zero press conferences and no down halt -- town halls, in gaggles, any of it. and the same time frame donald trump and j.d. vance have participated in well over 40 interviews and town halls and press conferences including last night in harrisburg p.a. where the former president took questions for more than an hour. in fact he couldn't fit it all and in just one show. i did have one more question for the president, you will see the answer to this in a moment. and that was about weather or not the president, how would he

debate kamala harris? is he ready for what she's about to throw at him? which i think is pretty easy to predict. let's at first go to audience questions from our exclusive town hall with former president donald trump. thank you for staying dictate questions from the audience. i always planned out, i do all this research and ask you questions and you just go. but we came here also to hear about the people from harrisburg. before we get to the people i want to introduce last night, on the show, dave mccormick is the republican senate candidate from pennsylvania. [cheering and applause] senator great to have you. give you a chance to say a few words. >> thank you sean and thank you mr. president for being here in the keystone state and the keystone state will decide the future of the country and put you back in the white house and the majority of the senate. so thank you. mr. president, it's a scary time in the world. our adversaries around the world

are on. iran, china, russia, north korea testing us and challenging us. they think america is a week and on retreat. and my question to you is on day one when you are back in the white house, how do we restore deterrence, how do we bring strength and capability back to our military and how do we make sure that everybody in the world knows that america is back? >> so thank you david and good luck for the race. it's very important that you win and you're a great gentleman and a great warrior. the first thing we have to do is we have to strengthen our country from within. and we have a lot of bad people from within but we have to number 1, have a border like we had four years ago. which is strong. where the wrong people didn't get in. we have to have that. the other thing we want to become again, energy independent.

we were energy independent four years ago. and what we really want is energy dominance and then as you know, i revoke the entire military and we had it like nobody has ever had it before and then this guy gave away $85 billion worth of equipment to afghanistan. and the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country. we have a lot more than that. we rebuilt the military and we want to be strong. but we want to do it peace through strength. that's what we want. peace through strength. we shouldn't have to use our military, why will you have the greatest military in the world? thank you david. >> what is your name? >> my name is debra williams. >> hello deborah how are you? >> i am good now. [laughter] >> because of me are because of the president? >> i plead the fifth. >> good answer. >> mr. president i want to thank you for coming to share

time with us today. >> thank you deborah. >> what could you share that you have learned during the first time being in the oval office for those who are been hesitant to vote for you now? >> so we need a strong president and, you know, i actually thought we had a very stable administration but we were hit with the weapons and i say she an end they've never done this before, the weaponization all through the different russia folks. alter the different hoaxes and we won every single one of them. the most important thing, and i found it and you can say this is true in business also, we have to get the right people. win i first went there in 2016 we were... a lot of good people had a lot of good advice but i put people in that in some cases were not what i really wanted because i didn't know much about

washington. i was there 17 time is my whole life and i wasn't in d.c. very much but i got to know them the hard way and the good ones, the bad ones, the weak ones in the smart ones and the dumb ones. i know them all now. and we had great ones, i mean economic development we did so well and the military we did fantastically well. we knocked out isis, 100% of the isis calendar. we have some great people in the military. not the ones you see on television but great people. the big key to running it is get the right people. you put the right person and the right group of people at the heads of these mess -- massive agencies you will have tremendous success and i know the people in a know them better than anybody would know them. thank you deborah. [cheering and applause] >> to what is your name? >> i would like to welcome you to the harrisburg pennsylvania.

we love both of you. >> thank you. >> i'm the small business owner at the helm real estate. the four years of your presidency mr. trump where the best economically i have experienced in the 35 years i owned this business. [cheering and applause] and my question is what is your plans and policy and to restore the economy so small business owners can thrive and make america great once again? thank you. >> you know, we had a woman who was very spectacular. linda mcmahon run the small smallbusiness administration and a phenomenal job. that's a very important group for small businesses but to put it a little simple or, we are going to have low interest rates and we are going to have low taxes and give you tremendous incentive to grow and to build your business. a lot of people have said one

person who didn't support me, said i must admit i had the most successful four years of my life but i'm going to vote for somebody else. i said and know that person came back to me, i don't want that person. you know they say they should take everybody but that's not the way i'm built. it's one of those things that's a problem. this was in the republican primary, i had the best for years i ever had under trump but i'm going to support this one. i said that's the end of that. but we are going to lower interest rates and have lower taxes, we will have tremendous incentives to small business. small business is much bigger than big business in this country when you add it all up and we will take care of small business. thank you very much. >> sir. what's your name? >> travis. i'm from pennsylvania and i would like to welcome you both here and it's an honor to stand before you. mr. president is it possible to

correct the extensive damage the current administration has caused related to our safety and security? from the border crisis to the plethora of weapons left behind in afghanistan i fear for my three adolescent sons. at night what do i tell them about their safety and their future of this great nation? >> the first thing you should do is pray. because what they've done to our country, what they've done to our country. and i hate to use the word. what these stupid people, naive people. the weaponization, again there after me at. i've got more court cases on friday and on monday i have one and they do that for very bad reasons. they don't want you to campaign and want to keep you off the campaign and once you did take as much money as possible. but let me just tell you, the hardest problem we have. a smart president would get a long with russia and china, there are a lot of reasons why.

but the biggest problem we have is that they've allowed 21 million people into our country, and i told you last night and i tell you tonight, it's the single biggest problem. they have poisoned our country. they are coming from prisons and coming in from mental institutions, terrorists are coming in, the criminals are coming off of the streets in caracas, venezuela, and all over the world. not just in south america. it's the single hardest problem that we never would've had to, if i wear president you would not have that problem. he wouldn't have inflation, he wouldn't have russia attacking ukraine. he wouldn't have october seventh with israel. you wouldn't have had the afghanistan disaster, which i think is the single most embarrassing day in the history of our country. where they have billions of dollars of equipment, we lost 13 great soldiers that are celebrated and honored with

wonderful they called children. they are wonderful kids. i went to arlington cemetery with them the other day at their request. [cheering and applause] at their request. and sean knows this better than anybody. it was very tough for me to get there, i don't want to say that but it was very tough. i was in a different part of the world frankly. and i got there and we had a beautiful couple of hours together. first we had a ceremony and then we had... we went down to the gravesites an end they said circuit we have a picture with my son? in one case it was a daughter, could we have a picture with my daughter? we took pictures, we stayed for a long time. and then i left and that was it. i thought it was beautiful. and those people are phenomenal. joe biden and kamala killed those children because of their incompetence. just like they had a gun that

killed them. and i went home and i thought it was a beautiful thing, i told my wife, i told a great first lady who people love. they love her. i said it was so sad and yet so beautiful and joyful in this sense. people, they had something that was very special. and i went there and, you know, i had them and got to know many of them. but i get home and i get a call from one of my people, they are saying that you use this for public relations purposes. and do you know what happened? it was so beautiful. every one of those people made a video to say donald trump came here. i got enough public city, i don't need publicity. i would like to get half the publicity. i would be very happy. but they said, you saw the videos, the videos became very

well-known and famous actually. some beautiful statements and i went there, i got nothing out of that except to take care of people that were not taken care of by our government. and joe biden and kamala should call those people at apologize pierre poilievre those most incompetent withdrawal from the history of our country. think of it, we took the military out first. you're supposed to take the military outlast. wants the military was gone and they took the military out first and it began. we lost 13 soldiers, and many were horribly wounded. meaning no legs, no arms, we don't even talk about those people and we have to. we left americans behind, they knew that better than anybody. we left many americans behind and we left billions and billions of dollars of brand-new military equipment behind. that now they are one of the

largest sellers of military equipment in the world. afghanistan, they are selling the equipment that we just walked away from. it was so incompetent but to be there with those people, was a real honor i have to tell you. and for them to go out of their way and every one of them made a video, they said sir, could you take a picture next to the grave of my son? i said of course, could you imagine if i said no i don't want to do it? i don't want to do it. but every one of those people appreciated it and everyone made a tape and they sent it out and became very viral as they say nowadays and it was a great honor for me to be there. thank you. >> i should add kamala harris and joe biden were both invited. and you knew these families. you met with them at bedminster and you knew them. they invited you, you went and said would you take a picture? and then you did and you were

attacked by the families that were furious at kamala about it. i think this will be the last question. what is your name sir? >> alastair hackett from springbank new jersey. thank you mr. president, i'm a recent college graduate and i am concerned with the growing influence of welcome us and our many top institutions. we saw general millie take this to new heights under new leadership in the military. what is your way to combat radical ideology in the military and our corporations? [cheering and applause] >> first of all millie, that day in congress where millie declared he was woke was an embarrassment to our country. we don't have a woke military, we have some guys at the top but you couldn't convince them to be woke if you were screaming at them for five weeks. week took out 100% of the isis

caliphate. in four weeks it was supposed to take five years. and i got to meet the real generals and they are unbelievable. our military is unbelievable. unbelievable. [cheering and applause] and all we are going to do is you get your degree and you will see a different country. we have to get elected. if we don't get elected i don't know what's going to happen to our country. i just don't know. normally i wouldn't say that, they say they work they are a democrat. these are democrats, these are people long behind democrats. when he used to say to sean on his show i would say our country will never be a socialist country. and it won't. it'll be a communist country, they skipped socialism. the we cannot let this happen to our country and will never be able to make a comeback from it. we are going to have a big

election, this is a very pennsylvania and very important. the commonwealth, never want to call it a state, the commonwealth. if you ever call it a state, i have seen guys, i've seen political careers ruined by saying the state of pennsylvania. you never want to call it a state, i will tell you how dishonest they are. they will take that one little favor when i said the state of pennsylvania and they will play it. the state of pennsylvania, they will cut it. because they are fake. and that one thing you should say, not him and not fox. we have a couple others out there that are good but the biggest, a great enemy to this country is the fake news media. it's a big enemy. [cheering and applause] and they have to change their ways. they have to change their ways. >> sean: before we let the president go because this is airing part to one thursday night, i want to ask you one final question.

in five nights you will be onstage not not with me but with kamala harris. if i'm going to make a prediction, i think she is going to try and end away, agitate, irritate, frustrate and make you angry. and are you aware of how she debates and probably every name in the book she can call you? without giving away your tactic. >> you don't want to do that but win i had biden khaki wind i had the same discussion. and i let him talk. i will let her talk because, you know. [cheering and applause] you've all seen it. there are those who say biden is smarter than she is. and if that is the case we have a problem. i've been in many debates, i think i probably have wondered

the debates. we had a lot of debates with crooked hillary and republicans and a lot of people and we had some great debates. and you had rosie o'donnell, rosie o'donnell, she's a real great one. isn't she a great one? anyway, a dead bait isn't just that. you go with a strategy want but you have to feel at the strategy is the debate is taking place. gift to go there with a strategy. mike tyson made the statement everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face. it's true. it was a brilliant segment. so i can tell sean exactly what i'm going to do but things change in a depends a lot on abc. will they be fair or not? if they're not going to be fair i will be a little bit different and they are. i hope they're going to be fair. we are putting a lot of reliance on a network that has known for

being extremely hot for the people in this room and i think 75, 80% of the country if you really wanted to. but all i can say is this, i've seen mitt romney go in and lock himself into a log cabin for four or five weeks and he came out and he was horrible in the debate. he couldn't talk. he gained great knowledge and couldn't talk and candy crowley came out and made it ted it -- terrible statement that ended up destroying the guy. the way i look at debating, i think i've been practicing all my life for this stuff. ultimately that is what it sort of about. [cheering and applause] it'll be interesting, it'll be an interesting evening. and the biden debate was a very interesting evening. they were surprised a little bit, what he did and the way he reacted. and you don't know how somebody is going to react, even a professional. you don't know how they will react. you have to go with it as you get up there.

i would love to give you an answer. this is what i will do sean but when you get up there and you have a lot of it. i went from having the debate and having done a lot of debates,. >> sean: you know she's going to try to annoy you. >> i think we have a bigger problem. i think abc will try to annoy me. >> sean: president donald trump. thank you harrisburg. many thanks to our friends in harrisburg p.a. and it was great to see so many of you. win we come back vladimir putin just endorsed a candidate in the 2024 presidential election. spoiler alert it's the demo democrats, the democrat who is unburdened by what has been. we get reaction from senator marco rubio and bernie marino plus much more to talk about trumps economic agenda straight ahead.

>> sean: yesterday the doj announced that russia is once again trying to interfere with the presidential yesterday -- election but vladimir putin did make an endorsement in the race today. he announced he is backing kamala harris. take a look. >> is for the favorites there is no need to define that. is a choice by the people of america in the end. i have said to stay favorite was

the acting president mr. biden. he has been taken out of the race but he advised all of his supporters to support mrs. harris. that's what we will do, we will support her as well. secondly, her laugh is so expressive an infectious and that means she is doing well. >> sean: clearly talking about her laugh, she is mocking kamala harris. putin also said he is open to negotiating an end to the ukraine war but let's be great -- clear for a moment. vladimir putin is a murderer, dictator, thug, murdering it in us and people with that of war. he invaded a sovereign country the guy can't be trusted but if he's trying to interfere in this election you have to wonder weather he would want to go back to the guy who prevented him from taking an inch of new territory when he was president, the guy who armed ukraine instead of sending them blankets, the guy who stopped the north stream pipeline from sending russian oil to western europe or stay with the administration that has pretty

much allowed him to invade ukraine with no consequences and handcuffs on ukraine and volodymyr zelensky. here with reaction ohio republican senate candidate bernie moreno is with us. this race is critical in terms of who controls the u.s. senate. florida senator marco rubio is from the senate foreign relations committee. senator rubio let me begin with you. there are disagreements over america's approach and involvement in this battle in ukraine. i happen to be the belief that europe should have from the beginning stepped up and done more. i think that joe biden should not have but handcuffs on volodymyr zelensky and tell them what bombs they can and cannot use. and americans don't want us caught up in these foreign wars and spending hundreds of billions of dollars. why wouldn't we insist with such a mineral rich country like

ukraine that they pay for any weapons that they buy and that would be contingent on the military weaponry that they need to get from us? would that be fair and your view? >> i think ultimately what you're pointing to is that the first there's nobody in america or american politics i think if that is rooting for vladimir putin. i think overwhelmingly people want ukraine to win and want russia to lose. the only thing as what can we afford to provide them that is with our national and transfer ukraine and has to be balanced out with all the other needs that we have, both foreign and domestic. the biggest threat in the 21st century is what's happening in the endo- pacific. the massive buildup of chinese military capability has to be her overwhelming priority. we have a threat from terrorism coming into our country from a wide-open border, and things like that that we have seen. we are now in an era, we have always been in a narrative prioritized but now more than ever we have to prioritize everything that we do. my biggest problem with the biden approach to ukraine is

they've never defined what his victory in strategy and the outcome that are trying to help them achieve. you don't have a strategy were defined outcome than what are you funding? what are you funding if you don't have a strategy, how do you know what your funding is that right amount or the right thing? i think that is what it's imperiled u.s. support to ukraine in terms of congress. that's the approach i think donald trump will take, which is i don't want russia to win but i want this war to end and we want to do what it takes so we can save innocent lives and we are going to help ukraine but it can't be unlimited amounts. it's not realistic. >> sean: mr. moreno what is your take on the gog -- doj alleging yesterday that they're using influencers in social media paces to spread propaganda? they're saying their disinformation topics are topics that we often find in this program and i have no relationship with russia at all. record if you talk about record inflation, on affordable prices

for essential goods, that's a disinformation topic or dei are woke stories? that's disinformation or crimes committed by the unfit is biden-harris illegal immigrants that we have americans and violent crimes is costing us a fortune? to me is beyond ab absurd. >> as ronald reagan would say here we go again. we cannot have a repeat of what the administration did during covid, where they censored free speech and decided what americans could have been what information americans couldn't have. the american people are very smart. that's the difference between republicans and democrats. we believe in the intellect of the american people in the democrats think they know better than we do. we do not want to have a rope department of justice telling us what information we are allowed

to see and what we can't see. that's a clear violation of the first amendment. >> sean: what is your take senator? and, you know, they say the disinformation campaign excludes telling the truth about record inflation, on affordable prices for food and essential goods, dei stories or crimes committed by harris biden undivided illegal immigrants? could you... every one of those stories are real and truthful. could you explain to me and this audience what that indictment is about? >> disinformation is something totally different from what their doing. disinformation us and that is ensure that you spread some people think it's true. in this case we are talking about pre-existing political opinions in the united states. these are pre-existing political opinions existing well before any russian invasion been --

engagement. one of the indictments that came yesterday doesn't say these people, they weren't talking with the true identity. they already have these opinions and already believed in these things. they legitimately believe in the views that they are espousing. they were targets of a fraud and someone posing as it regular investor had russian money behind them. as far as the russians and the chinese and the iranians in other countries as well. my view of that this is all serious and concerning we have to have our eyes wide open. i think there is real disinformation being shown by some of the editorial rooms of some of the biggest media companies in america who pretended like kamala harris was born in july 24th. when she's been around she's been the vice president and she owns the biden record and should answer for that record. has flip-flopped on everything she ran for when she ran for president they're saying you changed your mind? that's fine we believe you. that's disinformation and deliberate and designed and been driven over the last five or six weeks in a way that has been stunning to watch even by the

low journalistic standards of this system in our country. stunning. [simultaneous talking] >> if you want to see real information come to ohio and watch sheriff brown's commercials. there you will find real disinformation. this is a guy that is completely reinventing his record of who he is. if they want to band disinformation, unfortunately the democrats won't have any tv commercials. >> sean: let's talk about sheraton brown because you're in a race that's one of the biggest pickup opportunities for republicans in the country. in a state that is absolutely winnable. what is the state of the race now on the extremism exposed? what percentage of the time is e-voting with harrison biden? >> he voted with harrison biden almost 100% of the time and when president trump was in the white house, he undermined them every single step of the way.

called him racist voted to peach him twice. said the wall was racist. he was a tie-breaking vote on all the bills causing record inflation and that what course he wants to reimagine himself. we're going to win this race because we will expose them for the fraud and fake he is. this guy's a snake oil salesman and we will take a right to his policies and let the people of ohio no we have to get rid of this guy after 50 years in public office. >> sean: thank you both. earlier today former president donald trump laid out his plans to cut taxes and improve government efficiency let's take a look. >> my plan is if you open your factory in wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan minnesota. anywhere else in our country you don't pay a tariff tax. you don't pay a tax to make the product here and a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15%. solely for companies that make their product in america.

i will clear a government efficiency task with conducting a complete financial performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms. what we are putting forward is the most pro-american manufacturing jobs policy in modern history for any country. this will bring jobs and growth into our country at levels never seen before. every business on earth will flock to america from europe, asia, the middle east and all around the world. >> sean: here now with reaction cofounder of the committee to unleash prosperity her friend steve moore is back. you have charts, credit card debt, deregulation pack mortgage in government jobs and taxes and inflation. and it goes to the heart of what people should be asking. the peace and prosperity historically drive election. certainly prosperity is on the

ballot and these charts reflect disastrous and economic results but of course according the doj i would spray disinformation by telling that truth. >> great to be with you and by the way i thought trump's performance today, he laid out something so great for america and more american energy and i love this idea of this waste commission to go after the inefficiency, the redundancy and the ad so lessons of all of these programs in washington. i think you can save a trillion dollars a year by just getting rid of all of the inefficiency and government and elon musk is the perfect person that knows how to run a business, to run that commission. there a lot of other experts because how dare kamala harris talk about a $5 trillion tax

increase? that's according to "the new york times". $5 trillion. win we go through the budget and find the massive waste in efficiency that their criminal behavior of people stealing money from the government before we can talk about raising 1 penny of taxes sean? >> sean: talking about a small tax increase, global minimum tax doubling which would not make america competitive worldwide. the estate taxes will go up, unrealized capitol gains. they are talking about the largest tax increase in american history. correct me if i'm wrong. the highest tax increase in the history of the world? >> someone asked me the other day the biggest tax increase in the american history and i said this is the biggest tax increase as you said sean in the history of modern society. we have never seen anything like it. by the way, i don't think kamala harris knows where the capital

gain as an adult that she knows what fracking is. this is a woman that has never worked for a business, just like her running mate. most of the people we just did a study showing most of the people surrounding her know nothing about business. not only have they never started a business sean, of these people have never even worked for a business. they're all either academics, government employees, community organizers and people don't know how business works. i hope win people go to the polls in november, they think about this. who was better to manage this economy? a guy who was build great businesses and became a billionaire and employed thousands of people, or someone like kamala harris who has never even worked for a business in her entire career? it's amazing. >> and by the way what has she done? she acts like day one is january 20th 2025, day one was january 20th 2021. even a trump kicker -- critic

and kamala supporter mark cuban. he's a nice guy, i don't understand it but he thinks her plan will kill the stock market and my question is if she's going to kill the stock market how will you vote for her? >> when you're talking about raising the corporate tax rate, raising the capital gains tax rate to the highest it has been in 50 years, by the way we would have under the kamala plan, we would go to back to having some of the highest tax rates in the world. we are supposed to be the land of the free and the place people come to to avoid high taxes. into my liberal friends who say tax rates don't matter, then why is it sean that everybody is leaving new york and new jersey and california, my home state of illinois, the highest tax states and where are they going? florida and tennessee and texas and utah. it's the perfect example that taxes do matter. we want to make america look more like florida and texas and

tennessee, kamala frankly wants to make america look like san francisco. >> sean: if they implement this people will start to leave the country. and go to tax saving countries and i can see that happening and, you know, i never got a job from a poor person my entire life. all those jobs and the restaurant business, all the jobs in construction, i got hired by people who had some money. coming up next to new twist in hunter biden's federal tax case. is a presidential pardon on the way? we get reaction from allan dershowitz and miranda devine dershowitz and miranda devine straight without over or under investing. so you can feel confident in your financial choices voya, well planned, well invested, well protected.

>> sean: and a surprising move after initially indicating he would plead not guilty to federal tax crimes hunter biden has entered a guilty plea earlier today. jonathan turley joined the network and set hunter lost his game of chicken with prose prosecutors. take a listen. >> prosecutor admitted they have never seen a deal like this being offered to a defendant, and the defense basically sort of tipped the table over and said well, we are not going to cooperate. the department of justice later said they still want to get a

guilty plea from hunter but they blame the defense for its position. so there's a lack of intelligent design here. in some ways, you know, you could say this is just a game of chicken, and if it is they lost. by pleading guilty on the eve of the trial, you don't have much to trade away. >> sean: hunter tonight released a statement saying in part i went to trial and delaware not realizing the anguish it would cause my family. i will not put them through it again. before proclaiming that prosecutors were more interested in dehumanizing him then serving justice and concluding that he has decided to plead guilty to spare his family more embarrassment and pain. here with reaction fox news contributor and author of the upcoming book of the big guy, how a president and his son sold out america miranda devine, harvard law professor alan dershowitz is with us. first of all miranda look

forward to your new book, congratulations. number 2 a lot of people weren't expecting what happened today but it didn't surprise me at all. >> i'm the same. i couldn't imagine that they were going to go through this lengthy and very detailed trial that inevitably no matter how much they tried to keep joe biden's name out of it, everything that hunter was earning money for was about joe biden. he was the business and he was the product. so inevitably was going to dragon joe biden and by extension kamala harris. in a narrow election, it would have damaged her. so i think there's a lot of pressure on hunter but he has nothing to lose because his father is going to pardon him anyway. everyone knows no matter what joe has said in the past. >> sean: i agree with that. want to get your take on that and whatever happened, we have the other hearing in d.c. today

and that judge in that january sixth case and the new filing by the special counsel. and what's amazing to me, i thought they had a policy of not doing 60 days before an election and here we are professor dershowitz. >> first of all we have to understand that the crimes has biden has pled guilty to our real crimes. real crimes. on like the made up trump fake crimes. not a single one of the crimes charged at donald trump would be charged to anybody other than a man running for president. they are made up crimes completely in the new york case, the washington case, totally made up. i predicted that he was going to plead and he has no option but to plead but the case against him is overwhelming. but it was mishandled from the very beginning. i suspect that the long decisions made in this case and

they were long from top to bottom, were made by hunter biden himself. perhaps in the white house. but nobody who is going to plead would wait so long, and usually plead early to get a good deal. you try to get the two points for acceptance of responsibility. when you ask for another plea and says i didn't do it i am innocent, you risk losing those two points so that everything is wrong. i don't think that adding the lawyer would be the engineer of all of these mistakes. i suspect that this is hunter biden who wanted to go to trial, understood he couldn't do it and then walking to spare his family and from a legal point of view this is a complete disaster. from a political point of view it's probably okay. here i respectfully disagree with both of you. i do not think there will be a pardon in this case. unless joe biden finally says i

am no longer president, my loyal comes first. but this would destroy his legacy. i suspect we are going to see a moderate prison term, no computation and no potter pardon. >> sean: i think we are likely to see a pardon. miranda what is your take? i thought 60 days before an election that we wouldn't see what we saw in washington, d.c., play out, where they might do an entire evidence dump without a trial, prior to an election while early voting is going along? miranda. >> it is so dishonest it is a political hatchet. it is so obvious when, you know, the federal government has a 90 day rule when it comes to hunter biden, around the midterms around two elections they just put down all of their tools and stopped work for three

months more on the hunter biden investigation which is again a roadblock and justice being served in a timely fashion before the statute of limitations ran out on the most serious crimes. so there is just such a difference in the way that the hunter biden fiasco was handled by the doj and the way that this special counsel jack smith is treating and that the judges are treating donald trump an unfortunate damage gets done. >> i agree with that and i agree for one second that this judge is not taking into consideration the political ramifications of this case. [inaudible] partisan and political from day one this is the district of columbia with the conviction and a judge who is clearly doing everything to secure a

conviction.
