This is why Hunter Biden's conviction is NOT like Trump's

Editor's note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

Comparing Donald Trump's trial to Hunter Biden's trial isn't like comparing apples to oranges--it's like comparing apples to eggs. They are completely different. They don't even share the same source. The Donald Trump trial comes from a really rotten tree. The other one comes from the butt of a chicken.

First of all, the Hunter Biden trial only happened after the FBI did everything they could to make his crimes go away. When they realized that Hunter would have to pay for some crime, they made sure it was the least important one: lying about his cocaine addiction on a federal gun background check.

I am all for the rule of law--obviously. I am a responsible gun owner. You don't lie on your form when you're doing a background check. I would go to jail. You would go to jail. Hunter Biden should go to jail. But this is just one of 170 crimes Hunter Biden has been implicated in. Will he pay for those crimes? Here is just a few.

When he was in Arizona on his way to rehab, Hunter dropped off his car at a rental facility near the airport where he accidentally left his his ID, a crack pipe, and a bag of cocaine in the car. Nothing was done about it. Isn't that kind of a big deal?

A woman who is currently in jail in Connecticut for other crimes arranged a meeting with Hunter to bring him crack cocaine later that month. Isn't that also kind of a big deal?

Later that month when he was in Connecticut, the texts on his laptop showed that he was not only consuming drugs--he was trafficking them--as well as arranging sex with women. The sex crimes in Connecticut alone--let's just say discretion is advised when looking into this.

He would solicit prostitutes one after another. As they would leave his room, he solicited more. The next day, he solicited a third prostitute. But he didn't stop there. He continued to solstice prostitutes throughout his time in Connecticut, even recording a video of him having sex with a prostitute and smoking crack. The money transfers revealed he paid thousands of dollars to these prostitutes. Is prostitution legal in Connecticut? If you live in Connecticut, are you cool with this?

He then took his crimes to Delaware where he was doing drug deals, one with a registered sex offender. He even smoked crack with them. Hunter made sure that his crack use was on camera. Again, he was caught naked doing drugs at a public spa. It was only after all of this that he bought the gun, lied about his drug use, and continued to have more "fun "with prostitutes.

In Florida, when Hunter sent money to a Ukrainian escort, JPMorgan flagged the transfer as possible human trafficking. That's just 1 out of 170 times banks sent out a yellow flag to the federal government, saying, "There's something wrong here. This is human trafficking. This is money laundering." But the federal government turned a blind eye--170 times. That's the real crime here.

When the House Oversight Committee turned its sights to Hunter Biden's illicit international business deals with his dad, they couldn't turn a blind eye anymore. They only prosecuted when they had no other choice, and they chose the smallest and least embarrassing of the crimes.

I think justice was served--for his one crime. We'll see what the sentencing is. But this is not the thing to prosecute him on.

The left will use Hunter's conviction for their campaign against Donald Trump. They will say, "The President's son is a convicted felon. A former President is a convicted felon. The health of our republic has never been stronger." This is not good for the health of a republic regardless of the trials' outcomes.

If both are guilty of their crimes, it shows we have a real problem with the people in leadership. But both of them aren't true--again, apples and eggs. Hunter was prosecuted only when the federal government couldn't get away with sweeping everything that he and his dad under the rug. So then they prosecuted him, and he was convicted by a jury of his peers.

In Trump's trial in New York, they did every possible dirty trick, every twist of the law--even to the point of making up a law--to convict him. Their case was so baseless that even federal government said, "No, Trump did not violate the law." But then they took it to a state court, and the judge coached the jury that they didn't even have to agree on the crime to convict Trump. Then they declared that Trump was guilty of a federal crime, even though state courts don't have federal jurisdiction.

They did things that have never been done in our justice system before. They made a mockery of justice. I think Alan Dershowitz was right when he said the best thing that could happen is to find Hunter Biden "not guilty" and set him free because people would start to realize that we are the laughingstock of the world.

Our justice system, which used to be the most admired, is now the world's laughingstock.

Kamala Harris dropped the ball at CNN's town hall

Vice President Kamala Harris held a town hall on CNN Wednesday night, asking voters questions about the swing state of Pennslyvania. It was a train wreck.

Harris could not give a single straight answer to any question, and would instead lapse into long, word-salad answers. At times even Anderson Cooper, who was hosting the event, seemed fed up with her answers and tried to steer her back on track. There were even a few times that felt like Cooper was practically spoon-feeding the answer to Harris, who still managed to drop the ball.

This town hall was a flop at a time when the polls revealed Harris really couldn't afford it.

She talked more about Trump than herself.

Throughout her campaign and the CNN town hall, Harris repeatedly promised that her administration would break away from the "hate" and "divisiveness" that supposedly characterize President Trump and his campaign. But despite these promises, it seemed like Harris's answer to every question was to bash Trump. From questions about how she would support or not support Israel to questions about potential Supreme Court reforms, the answer was the same: Orange Man Bad.

Even the CNN after-show panel complained that she spent far too much time talking about Trump. Her performance lacked substance and proved that her campaign isnot about anything she has to offer the American people, it's solely about hating Donald Trump.

She missed the opportunity to further define herself.

Harris spent so much time Trump-bashing that she never got into any detail about her policies. This was an event designed to give her the chance to lay out her platform and define who she is as a candidate and she utterly failed to do so. As mentioned before, all she really spoke about was Trump, a candidate who almost every voter is highly familiar with. This was a critical failure on Harris's part, she missed possibly one of, if not the last chance to make an impression on voters before the election and according to recent polls, this was a chance she could not afford to miss.

She gave several radical and dangerous remarks.

The few times Harris managed to reveal some of her policy ideas it became clear why she was being so coy: they are blatantly dangerous. In between her anti-Trump tirades where she makes Trump out to be the biggest threat to the Constitution the country has ever seen, Harris let slip that she is open to Supreme Court reforms, including adding more Justices to the bench. This is known as court-packing and is most certainly unconstitutional, as well as one of the hallmarks of an authoritarian takeover, as Glenn has pointed out.

Harris also spent the first several minutes of the event making dangerous accusations against Trump, calling him a fascist and comparing him to Adolf Hitler. She would echo this sentiment the following day in a surprise address. Glenn explained on his radio show just how dangerous and inciteful this kind of language is and the kind of damage it can do. This looks like a desperate, last-ditch attempt to sway people away from Trump during this critical time of the election cycle.

Meet Trump's dream team who will make America healthy again

Americans are sick of being sick. In a recent TV special, Glenn revealed one in three Americans suffer from a chronic disease, and it's only getting worse.

But there is hope! President Trump has taken notice of our dysfunctional and corrupt system and has assembled a Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) dream team who plan on making big changes once Trump gets back into office. This team plans on fighting back against federal regulatory agencies such as the FDA, which are bought out by Big Pharma and Big Food and allow toxic ingredients that most other countries have banned into our food.

So who is this dream team? Below, we've compiled a list of the most prominent figures who are working with Trump to make America healthy again:

RFK Jr.

Former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made the declining health of Americans a focal point in his campaign. After dropping out of the race, he combined forces with President Trump, promising to assist Trump in reinventing federal health agencies, such as the FDA and CDC, to purge them of corruption, and to reduce the dominance of ultra-processed foods full of toxic additives. RFK Jr. has adopted the slogan Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) in reference to Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) slogan.

Casey and Calley Means

Over this last month, Dr. Casey Means and her entrepreneur brother Calley have taken the Conservative sphere by storm after testifying in front of the U.S. Senate. The siblings have been making the circuit, speaking alongside Jorden Peterson, appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast, getting a shoutout by RFK Jr., and even joining Glenn on his most recent TV special. Casey and Calley are trying to expose the corruption in the upper levels of industry and federal agencies and fight back against what Dr. Casey describes as a "genocidal health collapse."

Dr. Robert Redfield

Former CDC Director Dr. Redfield has recently rejoined Trump's Make America Healthy Again team. His experience as the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control means he is familiar with the corruption that rots our federal agencies and has good reason to believe that the Trump administration can turn things around. Dr. Redfield has shown concern for the alarming rate of chronic disease that plagues Americans. He expressed special concern for children, given that over 40 percentof American children suffer from at least one chronic condition.

Can fear win the vote? Democrats have a dangerous strategy to demonize Trump.

The Democratic Party’s nominee is deliberately spreading false, fear-driven narratives to turn her base against Donald Trump, regardless of the consequences.

Have you noticed how Kamala Harris and her allies in the corporate left-wing media have become bolder in labeling Trump a “fascist”? A recent New York Times article revealed that Democrats have shed their reluctance to use the term. In fact, it has become their rallying cry as Election Day approaches.

What’s the real goal here? According to John Daniel Davidson at the Federalist, Harris and her supporters are using this rhetoric to energize their base — and more disturbingly, to prepare them for violence if Trump wins. The fearmongering isn’t just about driving people to the polls; it’s about creating an atmosphere of rage and chaos.

Let’s show the Democrats that our republic doesn’t bend to fear and certainly doesn’t bend to those who twist the truth for political gain.

Harris is deliberately spreading false, fear-driven narratives to turn her base against Trump, regardless of the consequences. This is the same Kamala Harris who, during the George Floyd riots in 2020, encouraged bailing out rioters and urged the violence to continue both before and after the election.

For example, Harris has claimed that Trump will use the Department of Justice as a weapon against his political enemies if he returns to office. But let’s pause for a second: Who is using the Justice Department as a political tool right now? Harris’ own administration, led by Joe Biden, has weaponized federal agencies against Trump and conservatives for years.

Harris also recently entertained the idea that Trump would round up people who “don’t look white” and throw them into camps. During an interview with Charlamagne tha God, a caller suggested this scenario. Instead of refuting the caller’s paranoia, Harris nodded and said, “You have hit on a really important point.”

This kind of divisive rhetoric fuels fear and division in our country. Let’s not forget: Trump was president for four years, and there were no camps, roundups, or authoritarian crackdowns on dissenters. Leftists claim Trump and his supporters spread conspiracy theories, but they are the ones pushing baseless and dangerous claims.

While Democrats claim to defend democracy, they are increasingly aligning with authoritarianism. For example, the EPA funneled billions of dollars to left-wing organizations, including one tied to Stacey Abrams, for “voter mobilization” efforts. This funding came through the Inflation Reduction Act — a taxpayer-funded omnibus bill. Imagine the outrage if Republicans in Congress gave billions of taxpayer dollars to right-wing groups. The media would be in an uproar, and there would be protests at the White House gates. But because it’s Democrats doing it, the mainstream media turns a blind eye. These are the warning signs of an authoritarian regime.

This is why it’s more critical than ever for Americans to see through the left’s manipulation. Trump’s not the fascist here — he’s a threat to the left's power. The real danger lies in the left’s escalating rhetoric, which is designed to incite chaos if things don’t go its way. And let me be clear: That’s exactly what leftists are preparing for.

Don’t let them succeed.

The best way to counter their lies is by getting out to vote and encouraging others to do the same. If every single one of us does this, we won’t let the fearmongering and lies being peddled by Harris and the Democrats succeed. Let’s show them that our republic doesn’t bend to fear and certainly doesn’t bend to those who twist the truth for political gain.

'Get involved': Here's how YOU can join Glenn on election night

America is currently standing at a fork in the road. Which path we take will determine our fate as a nation.

One path is “we try something entirely new,” as in “not the Constitution,” and the other path is “we go back towards the Constitution,” says Glenn Beck.

The stakes for this decision are higher than they’ve ever been.

“We're deciding this year whether or not our kids are going to grow up in a country that gives them the opportunity to be themselves and to move forward and chart their own course, or we're going to continue to live in a place where we're not sure if our kids are going to have a better life than we did,” Glenn warns.

Regardless of who you vote for, Glenn says that one thing applies to everyone: “You’ve got to get involved this year,” which includes voting.

Election Day is rapidly approaching, and it will undoubtedly be a night that goes down in history, which is why BlazeTV will be broadcasting it live.

“We’d love to share it with you,” says Glenn.
