SPEAKERS

Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen

Evan Nappen 00:15

I am Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, today I have in the studio with me my son, Teddy

Nappen. Teddy is also an attorney, and he is also a member of the law firm. Teddy, how are you

doing?

Teddy Nappen 00:38

I’m doing quite well. You know, I was thinking, as a guest, I’d be the son of a son of a gun of a lawyer.

Evan Nappen 00:47

That’s pretty good. I think,

Teddy Nappen 00:49

Yeah, there you go.

Evan Nappen 00:50

You would qualify for that. Oh, and Jimmy Buffett would be proud to hear that. So, Teddy and I, we love

to discuss guns and politics and all that fun stuff. And I’m very happy today to have Teddy co-hosting

Gun Lawyer with me. And, of course, we’ve had some excitement in the news. The final curtain of the

lawfare has taken its bow, and that being Judge Mershon in making sure that the Scarlet Letter of an

“F” is attached to President Trump. That “F” for being a convicted Felon. Because having been

sentenced, President Trump is now a convicted felon and that was their goal. Of course, the entire

lawfare backfired and helped to get Trump elected. But this is particularly disgusting to see the demise

of the justice system in New York, being abused for political purposes and law fair purposes, and to see

just such a railroading take place with so many reversible errors. I am confident that, on appeal,

President Trump will be victorious. But, Teddy, I know you’ve been reading a lot about this and such.

What do you have to share regarding President Trump’s ordeal?

Teddy Nappen 02:44

Well, to start with, for him to wear the, you know, the scarlet letter, the “F”, really, he should treat it like

a badge of honor. Because that just won him the election. Because that surged his polling. The political

attacks by the Democrat-controlled Government basically led to his polling time. He was actually tiedPage – 2 – of 13

with DeSantis, and then it just surged him over where he won the election. So, really, it helped him out

greatly. So, good job on (Alvin) Bragg on that one.

Teddy Nappen 03:14

But to break it down even further, he was convicted of 34 charges of falsifying business records. So, to

start that off, he was convicted of a felony without actually being convicted of anything. Now that

sounds quite insane, but you know, that’s the law at times. And one of the things,

Evan Nappen 03:41

How did they do that? How did they do that?

Teddy Nappen 03:44

Well, it’s kind of interesting and also very sad. So, it dates back all the way to a prosecutor by the name

of DA Alvin Bragg, a Soros-backed DA. When Soros was interview

Evan Nappen 03:59

Oh, our Medal of Freedom winner.

Teddy Nappen 04:01

Yeah, the Medal of Freedom winner. You know

Evan Nappen 04:03

He and who was it? A skeleton who also got the Medal of Freedom from the senile sock puppet?

Teddy Nappen 04:09

I believe, you are referring to Hillary Clinton. But close enough. You know, Soros was actually

interviewed on it, and he just threw his hands up and screamed, the Jews are in the attic and then ran

away. But you know, besides,

Evan Nappen 04:20

That sounds like Soros.

Teddy Nappen 04:21

Yeah, so it starts off with the DA, where they had, the crime that he was actually charged with was a

misdemeanor. Now here’s the problem. The statute of limitations had run out. It was far exceeding it.

So, they thought, okay, we’ve got to think this through. So, they decided, let’s make it a felony, but how

are they going to do that? So, DA Bragg elevated it to a Class E Felony, stating he falsified records to

cover up a crime. Now, here’s the problem. What crime? And to this day, they still don’t know what the

crime is. Then they raised it to the statute of limitations, but it still didn’t meet that. But luckily, COVID,

you know, something, something, China, was able to pause the statute limitations. So, then they could

just get him in there so they could charge him and convict him of this crime.Page – 3 – of 13

Teddy Nappen 05:16

Now, looking at the facts that, by the way, for all the people who keep hearing this was a “hush money”

trial, stop calling it that. Stormy Daniels had nothing to do with this entire case. She owes Trump

hundreds of 1000s of dollars after he won the other case, and she was caught lying multiple times.

There was a note saying nothing happened. All this stuff. What it came down to is their “star witness”,

Michael Cohen, who, by the way, admitted he had stolen the money that caused the errors in the

account. Which, you know, stealing money typically causes an error in accounting. But you know they

wanted to go after the person who actually put in the money, not the accountant who stole it. But that’s

neither here nor there. Always a good thing, you know. But going from that. I’ll let you go. Do you have

a question?

Evan Nappen 06:12

Well, yeah, one of the things I’m wondering about is, so now they ended up recently sentencing

President Trump, and his sentence was an unconditional, essentially unconditional discharge. So,

there’s no probation, no jail time, no fine. Essentially, no punishment whatsoever, other than now

officially being a convicted felon. So, all this accomplished was The Scarlet Letter. That’s it, and that

was their trophy that they had to end the charade with, apparently. Do you disagree?

Teddy Nappen 07:00

Well, it’s actually quite hilarious. With the charges, I think they were trying to total it up, and it was like

20 years of prison for the charges. Yeah, you know. No, no, nothing, no punishment whatsoever. But

what was very disgusting is they had a whistleblower, well, an unintended whistleblower. He was

talking to a hot woman at the bar who had a camera.

Evan Nappen 07:26

A honey pot. Was this a honey pot set up?

Teddy Nappen 07:28

Oh, it was 100% a honey pot on Nicholas Biase. He was the DOJ Chief of Public Affairs in the District

of New York. He knew all the players. Everyone in the court personally knew DA Alvin Bragg, and he

admits that these charges were politically motivated. That Bragg was stacking charges and rearranging

them to make them fit. And he even said to him that every real estate person in New York does this

exact thing. So that, you know, it just gives a little perspective on how well New York’s run. The fact that

Evan Nappen 08:02

So, this was somewhat of a selective prosecution, huh?

Teddy Nappen 08:05

Oh, 100% and what I really love is how Judge (Juan) Merchan, who, I’ll ask this is you, dad, as

someone who’s dealt with juries? Have you ever had a judge read to the jury, okay, here’s the list of

possible crimes you could choose for the defendant to have done. Pick one, and you don’t have to be

unanimous about it. Just think, he didPage – 4 – of 13

Evan Nappen 08:31

No need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt and have a unanimous jury on the crime you’re picking.

That’s convenient.

Teddy Nappen 08:38

Yeah, you know. And also, the fact that he stopped his own experts from coming up, from testifying, the

various gag orders where he wasn’t even allowed to speak. I mean,

Evan Nappen 08:49

Judge Merchan is at least nowadays, as far as I know, he’s a man. There were other female judges.

Teddy Nappen 08:55

Oh, sorry, sorry about that.

Evan Nappen 08:58

I know it’s difficult these days to keep those things straight. I get it.

Teddy Nappen 09:01

Wait, did you just assume that judge’s gender?

Evan Nappen 09:04

I unfortunately did. So, maybe I’m guilty of that, but everyone else seems to be doing that. So, there

you go. Well, the interesting thing now is that Trump is a felon, and as a felon, he loses a number of his

civil rights, one of which is his right to vote. So, if this doesn’t get tossed by an appeal before the

midterm elections, he won’t be able to vote for folks in the midterm elections as a convicted felon. The

other thing that is, of course, most concerning to us is that President Trump is barred from possessing

firearms. He is a convicted felon, and felons are prohibited from possessing guns under federal law,

and most state laws, too, have laws on that similar subject.

Evan Nappen 10:04

Under federal law, it says, any person convicted of a crime, the penalty for which exceeds one year . .

.This is under Title 18. . . . is a prohibited person . . . That phrase, “a penalty exceeding one year” is

defined as offenses that are not misdemeanors, unless it is a misdemeanor that carries over two years.

I know. Leave
