00:00Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As you know, Hunter Biden, the president's only surviving son,

00:05is being criminally prosecuted right now in a Delaware court. Given that, do you think that

00:12that's proof that there is not a double standard, as you say, in the criminal justice system?

00:18No, I don't think one case proves that at all. We have rogue prosecutors around the country that

00:23have drugged President Trump through this process because of who he is. Everybody knows if it wasn't

00:28him, the charges in Manhattan would never have been brought and they would not be dragging this

00:32out as they are and seeking a potentially prison term and all of that. Everybody acknowledges that.

00:37Legal experts on both sides of the aisle acknowledge that. Nor would these other cases

00:42have been brought. The classified documents case. I mean, still, no one's gone after

00:47President Biden for his abuses with classified documents, which was more and more locations and

00:51all the rest. Look, it doesn't matter what they do to orchestrate or try to put window dressing

00:57on this. The American people can see right through it. The American people are intelligent

01:00and they understand intuitively what's happening here. And they see a two-tiered system and they

01:04see that President Trump is being targeted for who he is because he is soon to be the official nominee

01:10of the one of the two main parties in the country. He's the opponent of the president.

01:15And so the president and his Department of Justice have, you know, participated in this, given it

01:22a pat on the back and endorsed all of this stuff that's happening against him. And Democrats cheered

01:28when the verdict came down. I mean, it's just blatantly on display for everybody. So I think

01:32that's what's frustrating the American people. I think they've had enough of it. And I think

01:35there's going to be a reckoning on November 5th about this. As President Trump rightfully said,

01:39the main verdict that matters is the one that the people render in the election. And that

01:44can't get here soon enough. Thank you all for the time this morning.
