Hunter Biden's been indicted for failing to pay more than $1 million in federal income tax, and he could be looking at a 17 year stint in prison. But the indictment, well, it does more than just outline potential criminal behavior. It paints a picture of a man that was taking advantage of everybody around him. That's the only way you can describe it. I've got Farron Cousins here to talk about it. Farron, your take was the same as mine. He's just a hustler. He's just a hustler. That's all the guy is that's been able to get by all these years buying exotic cars, escorts, luxury hotel rooms, clothing, and then getting his pals to loan him money to pay taxes.

And he still wasn't even paying all the taxes either. So look, these are very serious charges, obviously, far more serious than that plea deal that kind of fell apart a few months ago. When you actually look at this, we're looking at it without any kind of political blinders on, this is very serious. And it does show that that plea deal they were gonna give him several months ago, that was total BS.

And Weiss, Weiss was the guy doing that. And all of a sudden, Weiss says, oh, well, now the judge has basically chastised me and let the world see I'm a frigging idiot. Let me do my job now. And he comes in with only tax charges. The foreign agent issue, I still, I don't know why that hasn't been pursued. These charges are serious enough. The worst thing about it, there's so many crazy parts to this. First of all, who is this Kevin Morris? It's like his sugar daddy or something. Biden gets into trouble, Kevin Morris comes to pay his way out, whether it's child support or taxes. Who is this guy?

Well, it's kind of a bit of a mystery right now. He's a lawyer that obviously was kind of employed. I guess Hunter Biden was a client. But that kind of goes beyond the lawyer client relationship with what Mr. Morris was doing. It's one of those things that I think as the trial goes forward, Mr. Morris' role in whatever it is Hunter Biden was doing, is going to become far more clear, because it is very weird. Hunter Biden has all this money. There's no doubt that this man made a lot of money. Yet at the same time, Morris is having to give him money to help cover his bills because Hunter Biden cannot, almost spending compulsively as fast as the money came in.

If you read the indictment, I mean, if you read what they have in the indictment, they lay out a chart. It's $750,000 that he spent on restaurants and beauty products. Almost $700,000 to women is the way it's described. Nearly $400,000 for clothing and accessories. It's got this chart. I mean, it's $1.6 million in ATM withdrawals that ended up going to everything from buying hookers to buying exotic cars.

Yeah. And he was taking that money out of his own company so that he, because he thought like, oh, if I just take the money out of the ATM, I'm not gonna have to pay taxes on it. That's what they paint the picture of in this indictment. So it's not quite embezzling from his own company, but man, it looks like almost embezzlement from his own company.

It is embezzlement. They didn't charge him with it, but it's embezzlement. Here's the problem. All this creates an opportunity for discovery. Alright. Depositions are gonna be taken. They're gonna find out more and more. And you know why, the Republicans, all they're waiting for is the hammer to drop. And that is to say, like they're already raising, well, how did Joe Biden go from making a million dollars in 2016 to $500,000 in 2017? The only difference was he wasn't vice president anymore. It's things like that.
