It's a delicate balance between acting like winners and rising above after a big win on Tuesday night for Donald Trump and Republicans nationwide, and forcing Democrats to capitulate to a clear mandate given to the GOP by the results in the Presidential, Senate, and House elections.

Should Donald Trump pardon Hunter Biden as one of his first acts in office? Ryan and Kelly debate the merits of such a move, along with texts from listeners on the subject.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What did I say? I said, I repeated what he
was today. This is wrong. You have have had an
utter disdain for Trump.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
You'll always be welcome at the table of legacy media
and have people nodding as you trash Trump.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
That's always going to happen.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
But aren't you the slightest bit embarrassed or at least
humbled about how wrong you were about the feeling of
most Americans. Let me finish soup, and for enthusiastically supporting
a candidate who a majority of people thought had no
business being anywhere near the O of Office. And you're
a Republican and you saw that all the different policies

(00:35):
that he was talking about are anathema to what you
thought your whole life, and yet you went along with it.
Do you ever eat any crow, or not even even
a little crow like a little capon or you just
I mean, Michael Avanatti could still be on TV trashing Trump.
You'll always find a place on TV. If he wasn't
in prison, he'd still be on CNN running for president

(00:56):
with Brian Stelter. Just give me a little bit, a
little bit at Anthony about how wrong you are.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Joe.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
First of all, I immediately put out a congratulatory.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Tweet they won, we lost, and the immortal words of
Barry Diller when he lost a paramount deal next year,
what would you like me to do? Do you want
me to get on bended knee? Before you know? I
thought you were going to start that. That is what
America is about, Joe.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
We have a violent disagreement about lots of things related.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
To Trump's personality. You like Trump. I was look up
close to Trump. I got to see the ugliest of
what he is. And by the way, Joe, it's not
just me.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
There were forty of us were for the president, and
that warned people.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
I think he's been very good for Joe.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Think he's been very good for your career, Anthony, and
he's been incredibly good.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You're here, are you not?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
And you're gonna be welcome anywhere you want to go.
I think he's been very good for you. And you
have to live off this for another four years.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Wow, Joe Kernan CNBC, that was chef's kiss and a visceration.
Even you the word capon. I look that up, c apo,
and it's a type of chicken, say male chicken. So
if you're not gonna eat crow eat just a little
cape on Scaramuci's got nothing because all they're running on,

(02:13):
all they're grifting on, is the hatred of Trump. It's
this appeal to the right brain, emotional knee jerk reaction
that so many people have viscerally to the Orange Man.
I'll never understand it because I've never felt it, and
I'm kind of glad I'm not in that headspace quite honestly.
My brother is, my dad is. I can't talk to
those guys. I'll say it. I have my own show.

(02:35):
They don't, but I'll say it the way I see it.
I mean, there are no two men who I know
better than my brother and my dad, But I think
there's a part of them that feels threatened by Trump.
I don't know how else to explain it. My dad
he hates Trump on a very personal level. I can't
even talk about Trump with him ever ever. And my

(02:57):
brother is kind of the same way, because he used
to kind of bullying people, browbeating our younger sisters. But
I'm his older brother and he knows he can't do that,
so he's trying to kind of tiptoe through the tulips
and dance through the daffodils and try to bring me
along in hating Trump like he does. I go, I
can't help you there, Nate. I don't hate Donald Trump.

(03:20):
I think he's kind of a cool guy. I think
he's amusing. I think he's very smart, very street smart,
deceptively so I think people underestimate him and have at
their own peril. And I would invite you to watch.
There's a Trump documentary series on Netflix, Kelly. Have you
seen this one?

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Not yet?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Oh really, I haven't recorded.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
I just haven't gotten a chance to watch yet.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
It's all very busy.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
It's been a very busy week.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
But it's called Trump an American Dream, and I think
it's presented in a pretty even handed fashion. And really
the apex, the culmination moment that turned Donald Trump's life
around in a different direction, was when he was sitting there.
I think it was the White House correspondence dinner, the
Barack Obama was speaking at as president and just busting

(04:11):
Trump's balls in his speech and really goading him and
saying things like, you know, Trump always threatens to run,
but he's never really gonna run, and he'll never be
elected any things along the and they cut to a
shot of Donald Trump in his face and you can
just see the timber burning, the wheels turning, and that

(04:34):
He's like, you know what, Blanker, I'm going to show you,
and then he came down the escalator wasn't too long
after that in twenty fifteen. There's a spirit and an
ethos of Donald Trump. That again, and I've been ripping
on him all week, But he deserves it because I
don't think he gets it. And maybe one day he will,
but I don't think he's open to it. That's Ross
Kaminski over on KOA my election night coverage. He tried

(04:58):
to insinuate folks. I can't stress this enough, how absolutely
bizarre this notion is that Ron DeSantis, who I very
much like, as you guys know, or Nicky Haley, would
have done just as well as Donald Trump did Tuesday
night or better. He thinks Nicky Haley would have done
better than the Orange man Tuesday night? Are you high man?

(05:22):
Nobody likes Nicky Haley. Even people who voted for in
the primary didn't like Nikki Haley. They hated Donald Trump,
and many of them were Democrats medaling in our election
on the primary side. Many of them were going to
vote Democrat anyway. Many of them were probably gonna vote
for Kamala Harris over Nicki Haley. They just didn't want
to see the Orange Man because they were scared of him.

(05:44):
Why did Krista Kaefer and Mary O. Nicholas work so
hard to file a lawsuit to get Donald Trump taken
off the ballot? Who are the fascists? They are not
Donald Trump, not you, not me, not Kelly. Only a
fascist with that kind of mindset is going to go.
You know what, we don't trust the American people. We

(06:06):
don't trust the voters of Colorado to make a sane,
rational informed decision. We need to make that decision for them,
and we need to take Donald Trump off the ballot.
They're the fascists that they warned us about, aren't they.
Christa Kaifer should be ashamed of herself that she was
ever associated with a conservative cause or the movements of

(06:27):
the right. That you would line up with a truly
by literal definition, fascistic movement to eliminate and remove a
nominee for President of the United States by one of
the major parties, to take away that choice from voters.
Who are you? Who do you think you are. I mean,
there's only a grandiose kind of sense of self importance

(06:50):
that would play into that kind of decision that you
know better than the rest of the voters of Colorado,
or therefore the United States g t to the fo
with that crap. I have no time for it, none,
Absolutely embarrassing, insulting, ridiculous that that ever happened. And that's
just one thing that was thrown at Donald Trump in

(07:11):
this election cycle, all these phony charges, the weaponization of
the DOJ Letitia James, who we heard from earlier, the
Attorney General of New York State, Fannie Willis in Atlanta,
a mere pawn for the Biden administration. Her boyfriend met
with Biden officials. It's on the logs of the White
House visitor logs, Elvin Bragg, Manhattan. Jack Smith, who now

(07:35):
he's trying to quietly retreat into the night with his
tail between his legs. He doesn't want to pursue these
cases anymore, or really, Donald Trump should punt Jack Smith
into the sun. All of the lawfair against him, the
phony conviction on thirty four counts, the mugshot, mugshots seen
round the world. I would counter that all of this

(07:59):
crap that was thrown at Donald Trump merely strengthened him.
Him getting fifty one percent of the national popular vote.
I think was a direct result of all this malfeasance
directed at him, that there were Americans who felt that
was fundamentally unfair, unjust, and Unamerican to attack this man

(08:20):
in that way. They might not like him personally, but
what is this obsession with him on that personal level
that people feel If you hate him so much, beat him,
if you think he's such a threat to democracy, defeat him.
But they knew that they couldn't, and they feared what
happened on Tuesday night, and it exactly happened all according

(08:44):
to their nightmares. And I could not be happier. Yeah,
I'm going to engage in schadenfreud for this. For those
types of people that wanted to eliminate Trump for the ballot.
There were about a third of Democrats when polled that said, Hey,
I wish Thomas Crooks hadn't have missed. I wish his
shot would have been a little bit more online and
had assassinated Donald Trump. Don't believe me, go look it up.

(09:08):
About a third of Democrats, if not more. We're kind
of rooting for Donald Trump to take the final shot.
The Coudi Gras in Butler, Pennsylvania. That is sick, that
is twisted, and that's coming from their side, not ours.
They are the fascists. And Charlemagne, the God of all people,
He's the one that kind of spoke some sense to
his own audience here in the breakfast club, and he

(09:30):
was a Kamala supporter.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
I will say this, I'm glad everybody's having a sense
of optimism because the reality is we have no choice
because we're here now.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Donald J.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Trump is going to be the forty seven president of
the United States of America, like it or not, and
we all hope for the best for his country. That's
all we can do. But don't y'all find a strange
that not that he's won, they're not calling him with
their democracy. They're not calling him a fascist. I mean, damn,
on Monday, they're not calling him any day on Monday.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
They was just calling him that.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I would think that, you know, if you really believe that,
then somebody's speech would be about how America effed up
and how things are.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
The most powerful man in the world now.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
It just makes you wonder how much of it did
they really believe? How much of it was just politics? Now,
it was pure fiction, and it was pure politics. Charlemagne
is right, and they didn't believe it. They don't believe it.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Chuck Schumer sat right next to Donald Trump at the
Al Smith dinner. What he just set right next to
Hitler or Stalin or Mussolini or pole Pot or go
down the list, chairman, MAO, No, they don't believe this.
They don't believe it for a second. But desperate times
call for desperate measures, and nothing they were throwing at

(10:39):
Donald Trump stuck. So they had to resort to break
glass in case of emergency. Let's go to the Hitler card.
Orange Hitler fascist. Kamalo Harris was asked point blank on
the campaign trail, do you believe Donald Trump is a fascist?
And she said, yes, I do. I think part of

(11:02):
her loss goes directly to that comment, because what that
insinuates is that, Okay, Donald Trump's a fascist. Therefore, what
I'm looking at here the presidential returns and fifty point
seven percent of the vote and seventy three point six
million Americans. What Kamala Harris just insinuated is that seventy
four million of US support a fascist. This is what

(11:24):
you resort to. And I'm struggling with this because I
do believe in terms of governance that our ideas will
win out, that Republicans should rise above. But that doesn't
mean that on this Friday after the election, I'm not
going to call out those who tried to bring Trump
down by any means necessary, because they contended he was

(11:45):
this existential threat to democracy, which was ridiculous on its face,
and they knew it, and they did it anyway, and
they put Donald Trump's life in danger because they poison
the minds of the lunatic fringe of their followers to believe, hey,
I got to take this guy out. He is a
threat to democracy, and if I take him out, I'll

(12:05):
be a hero. They knew what they were doing, they
knew they were playing with fire, but they didn't care.
That's how much winning meant to them, That's how cynical
they were. So I struggled with this. When I asked
the question whither Hunter Biden. There is talk out there,
and Donald Trump said as much with Hugh Hewitt that
he's not taking off the table the possibility of pardoning

(12:29):
Hunter Biden when asked Kareem John Pierre said they weren't
going to do it. On the Joe Biden Watch.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
His son Hunter is also for free sentenced next month.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Is the President having any intention of pardoning him? But
we've been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands,
which is now. So there are three paths by which
Trump could probably go by here with regard to Hunter Biden.
He could pardon him. He could do that with this
high minded notion of bringing the country together and putting
what divides us behind us. I think there's a strong

(13:03):
argument to be made there. As much as you and
I and I know would hate that with everything they
did to Donald Trump, but if the man himself, Donald Trump,
and he said this again, go look up his answer
to Hugh Hewett on it, then despite everything they did
to me, maybe it'd be the right thing to do
to pardon Hunter Biden. There could be a move, and
I don't know what the technical logistics of this would be,

(13:24):
not to pardon him, but to commute his sentence and
basically suspend it, and that it would stay on his
record as a conviction. It wouldn't be partoned, it wouldn't
be erased. It wouldn't be expunged from his record, but
he wouldn't have to serve the time. That might be
a devil's bargain worth considering. Or Donald Trump could just
let it ride and let Hunter Biden Rott in prison.

(13:49):
Those are the three choices. Which one do you support?
Five seven seven three nine. It goes into this message
that I got via audio. If your Facebook friends with me,
you can send me these. I can't really get into
the iHeart interface. Michael Brown does the talkbacks, but he's
got Dragon all the time. I've got Me all the time,
and sometimes Kelly, but I'm not gonna kind of put
this on her plate anyway. If your Facebook friends of

(14:09):
being like Stephen larkspur Is, you can send me a
message on Facebook Messenger and I can play that over
the year. Here's what he had to say.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Hey there, Ryan, I sent this to five seven seven
thirty nine as well. I don't know if a voice
message goes across. I'd like your input on the air
if you could. What principles after the last decade of
Democrats basically in charge other than the four years of Trump,

(14:38):
what principles does the Democrat Party even have left? That
would garner them a seat at the table. They've ran
this country almost into the ground. Their principles have failed everywhere.
I mean, the last step for them is to what

(15:00):
go to full blown socialism, which in some states that
already exists. But how can they even expect to seat
at the table. And what vestiges of democracy with a
lowercase D Democrat Party principles are even out there.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
That should be pursued. I'd like your thoughts on that, Steve.
One of the big reasons I think Kamala Harris lost
was something I kept saying throughout the campaign, and that
she personally was unmoored to any principles. She didn't stand
for anything. She was willing to be malleable when it
came to things like transgender surgeries for prison inmates convicted

(15:42):
of felonies like murder and having taxpayers pay for it.
That there's no question that she favors a ban on fracking,
that she signed on to the Green New Deal, that
she co sponsored Medicare for All with Bernie Sanders, that
she tried to run to the left of Elizabeth Warren
and Bernie Sanders in the twenty twenty Camps and Pain
and yet she tried to unring that those bells, every

(16:04):
one of them in this campaign, but she did it
to very little effect. Nobody believed her, and I think
those on the left that thought, well, Manita a minute,
she agreed with us on all these issues, they might
have been okay with her faking it. In fact, Bernie
Sanders said as much, Well, who's got to get elected,
So she's got to lie or back off of these
positions to get elected. Why is it that on the

(16:24):
left they need to back away from these far left
policies that they champion to their base in a general election.
But for the most part, Republicans, we can lean in
to conservative ideals and principles for the most part, almost
across the board, and run on those winning ideas. So
my thought on the principle's part of that, Steve is

(16:45):
Kamala Hasna. Now, the Democratic Party, you could argue that
they're in a position of weakness now severely, especially if
the Republicans hold the House, which I believe they will.
So if the Republicans have the presidency, the Senate by
a fifty three for four seven margin in the House,
even by a narrow margin, well then it's incumbent upon
Chuck Schumer and HACKEM Jeffries and the rest of the

(17:07):
Democratic Party in power in Washington. They've got to move
to the middle. They've got to come to the center.
They want to come to the negotiating table. They've got
to drop some demands. They're in no position right now
to bully the Republican Party around. They just got destroyed
at the ballot box by the voters of America. That
sent a very loud and clear message on Tuesday Night.

(17:28):
They are rejecting the far left, woke agenda, the he hers, she, him, shim,
whatever pronouns in the bio, the sea, the sea change.
I think that we feel when it comes to things
like DEI, when it comes to the sixteen nineteen project,
when it comes to you know, this country was founded

(17:51):
on white supremacy, and all that bunk I think washes away.
I believe it's been rejected wholesale. We're going to have
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country coming
up in just a couple of years, in twenty twenty six,
and thank god, Donald Trump's going to be the president
for that. It's going to be glorious, but the Democrats

(18:11):
needed to rediscover their love for America again, because I
think there's a general feeling out there that they hate
this country. There's a feeling as well that if you
simply wear an American flag T shirt or hat doesn't
have to say mag on it, or you put an
American flag outside of your home, ninety five percent chance
and they'd be right. People can guess who you're voting for.

(18:35):
That's a big problem for the Democrats. They have lost
any semblance of patriotism that might have been somewhere in
their party, and nobody believes them anymore. Again, we got
our Friday Fool the Week nominees. We'll reset those when
we come back on Ryan Schuling Live. It's just starting

(19:14):
to kind of hit me how big this win really
was on Tuesday night, both that it happened, but also
how it happened, how emphatic this victory was, How good
it feels and it should for our side. Think about
everything we've been through, and more important than that, everything
that Donald Trump has been through, everything he was willing

(19:35):
to endure and put himself and his family through, for
this country and for all of us who voted for him.
I could never think him enough. Donald Trump's a great American.
How many people could have gone through everything he endured
over this last calendar year, including two assassination attempts and
one shooting that just grazed his ear, almost killed him,

(19:58):
almost dropped him on site. And he weathered the storm,
and he became the storm. And we witnessed that on
Tuesday night. The red wave that we were so disappointed
did not happen in twenty twenty two, folks, It happened
on Tuesday night. Recapping our Friday fool the Week nominees

(20:19):
got to get you in on this sunny houstin always
and I nominate her every week. But she insists misogyny
and sexism. Where the reason Trump won ninety seven percent
of Latino Texas County where Hillary won seventy nine percent
in twenty sixteen, think about flipping that county wow in
Latino votes. And then Anna Navarro, same show, So many

(20:42):
of the out there watched this show? And if so,
why and how many brain cells have died for you
because you watched this show? The view Anna Navarro picked
up on that and she just lashed out at minorities
women for supporting Trump. Latinos saying, they're going to deport
your abuela. Just all these stupid p all of us
that voted for Trump knowing he was going to harm

(21:02):
our own self interest Why would we vote in conflict
with our own self interests? And Naviral can't believe how
stupid people are. Nicole Wallace of MSNBC is girding herself
for this moment, and she deleted her Twitter account as
an act of self preservation. Yeah, to preserve yourself from
the trolls who were lighting you on fire. On the

(21:23):
platform now known as acts. Letitia James in her very
theatrical performance where she over enunciates and punctuates certain words
and lets them flow. If she had an acting coach,
they'd have a lot of work to do because she's
not very convincing. And she says, as the Attorney General

(21:44):
of New York, we didn't expect this result, but we
are prepared to respond to this result by fighting. Yeah,
you've already done your part your phony charges against Donald Trump.
She celebrated she got a dollar amount, but Donald Trump's
never going to pay a dime. That was the Egen
Carol case. Remember that, Remember that the plot that she

(22:06):
ripped Egen Carrol ripped the plot straight from the script
of an episode of Law and Order SVU look it up.
I don't believe her for a second. And then I
know victims of sexual abuse and assault, and it's a
sad thing, and it lingers with and it haunts a
woman for all of her days. Yet she goes on
Rachel Maddow and offers to buy Rachel Maddow a chateau

(22:30):
in France or her attorney to her right, new fishing equipment.
Joking around such a disgrace, and it dishonors actual victims
of sexual assault. That kind of clownish behavior from an
absolute liar, who also said to Anderson Cooper that rape
was sexy. And then Anderson Cooper got really uncomfortable and

(22:51):
decided to go to commercial break. I think you're fascinating
to talk to she was flirting with him. Good luck
there because he doesn't play for your team, Egene, but
my god, honestly, does she strike you as an actual
victim of a sexual assault. I'm sorry, No, don't believe her.
And when Donald Trump denied it and he went on

(23:12):
with Kaitlyn Collins, I gotta reprise some of the stuff
like the greatest moments of Trump. Maybe that'll be a
new bet that we do because we've got four more
years of the Orange Man. He named her dog or
cat Vagina. They wouldn't let us enter this and caught Caitlin.

(23:34):
The crowd was roaring. He had the CNN town hall
audience eating out of the palm of his hand in
Kaitlyn Collins, this terrifies the press. They cannot fight his magnetism,
his charisma, his hutspah. Let's go to some texts again
and send those votes. In five, seven, seven, three nine
Fool the Week, also Anthony Scaramucci getting absolutely flat and

(23:55):
body bagged by Joe Kernan on CNBC. That was an
all Ryan. I interpreted Kamala's last speech to be a
call for violent protests either or both the ratification of
the vote or the inauguration. Her meeting was not so
hidden in her plea for cooperation in a peaceful transition.
She did call for that, and she got booed. There

(24:18):
was a profile about her using the word fight like
seventeen times. I don't know I fight in political rhetoric.
I want to believe that means fight for whatever a
cause that she believes in resistance to Trump. But whether
that's violent protests, I don't know. I hope not. I
can't rule anything out now, not after everything we've seen
over these last many months. There's not enough people on

(24:38):
the left calling this out. And as I mentioned a
previous segment, a third of Democrats wished that Thomas Crooks
had connected on his shot with Donald. I mean, you
are sick bastards if you think that. I would never
wish that upon Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. I mean,
you really lack a soul if that's what you really
hope for. And I think a lot of the these

(25:00):
people are soulless because they're godless and politics the left,
Marxism is their god, and that's why they take it
so personally and seriously, and they put up these videos
of them having crying and screaming fits on TikTok. It's lunacy, folks.
I'm sorry, there's no other word for it. Everybody I
talked to on our side, when I go to a gathering,
if I've gone to the General Assembly, or you know,

(25:22):
some kind of Republican, it's a bunch of happy people
that have shared values that are joking around, having a
good time. We're not maniacs like a lot of these
people on the left. There's also a note I'm working
on a plan, and there's no guarantee this will happen,
but I'm formulating a plan for me to go to

(25:43):
the inauguration on January twentieth and Washington, DC. I think
it will be that momentous of a historical occasion that
it would warrant my presence there and I would want
to report there back here for KHW and also KOA.
I just think it would be fitting. So just kind
of thinking through that, and maybe I'll do that, and

(26:03):
maybe you have some thoughts on whether I should or not.
If they really believe Trump is Hitler says this Texter
and the Republicans are fascists, then they better be buying
as many guns and as much AMMO as possible that
they can get their hands on for their own protection.
So they're doing that right. Well, in Colorado, we just
voted in a stupid ass six point five percent tax

(26:24):
on all guns and ammo because we're dumb. We're in
the land. Oh my god, we have so many comies
amongst us. I can't even It's like a ice cream
headache just on the left side of the frontal lobe
of my brain right now, and Kelly can see me.
Why would you do that to yourselves? We live in
an Otherwise, it has been a libertarian state when it

(26:45):
comes to individual rights, taxes, and guns. At least on
those issues we haven't jumped to the far left. But
on that one we did absolute moronic vote. There the
icing on Trump's cake. Kamala has to swear him in.
That's in the Senate. Yeah, she'll shall preside over that,
and we'll see if the Democrats accept the results of

(27:06):
this election. If they do, folks, it'll be the first
time the Democrats accept the results of the election without
a protest since nineteen eighty eight when George Herbert Walker
Bush defeated Michael Decacus. Because they very much protested the
selected president in two thousand by the Supreme Court in
the five to four ruling Bush v. Gore. There were

(27:28):
protests from the House floor about the two thousand and
four election. They were trying to get some results over
turned in Ohio in particular, I believe North Carolina as well,
and even Florida. A whole bunch of Democrats. John Carey,
to his credit, is no, we don't need to do that. Oh,
they go to the country. And then in twenty sixteen,
they never accepted the results of that election was Russian collusion.

(27:51):
Obama was in on that whole fiasco plotting with Hillary
the Steele dossier. James Comy FBI. Comy gave plausible deny.
It went up front. He's like, mister President, I just
want you to know we've acquired this dossier. We've got
to investigate it. You're under investigator. And then it went
off from there and then to turn into an impeachment
after the Mueller investigation. Think about all that crap that

(28:13):
was thrown at Donald Trump in his first turn, and
they're telling us we don't accept the results of election.
Any liberal that ever does it. Jick yet day in
twenty twenty Joe Biden won. Ask them who won the
election in twenty sixteen? Was that a free and fair election?
Ask them that. See what they asked, But they they
I don't Russian collusion. I don't know. Let's go here. Yeah,

(28:40):
on the issue of I'm gonna get Kelly's take on
this before we go to break this. Texer says I
would go for commuting the sentence of Hunter. Biden. Let
the cards fall where they may. Legally, the Dems are
playing semantics. Joe won't pardon, but he would commute Hunter's sentence,
so Trump would have to hurry and do it first.
I think Trump's great at that kind of showmanship and
showing up somebody like Joe Biden, beating him to the

(29:03):
punch on something like that. But if I turned to you, Kelly,
and I ask you, what should Donald Trump's play be here?
If Joe Biden doesn't pardon his son, should Donald Trump
pardon him, work on a commutation, or simply leave it
alone and let him rot in prison? Pardon him? Pardon him? Wow,
I'm a little surprised that answer for absolutely? Why would

(29:23):
that be? Because he's fair.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
He didn't put Hilary a jail, because he literally has
spoken about this and said, how horrible would it be
to have the wife of a former president be in jail? Yeah,
he said that, So how bad would it be to
have the son of a former president in jail? Even

(29:45):
though he's an idiot and probably deserves to be there.
But I think Trump is enough of fair headed person
to basically say, you know what, everything's good, pardon it.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
I think it'd be a big play politically. I tend
to agree with you, just on the sheer left brain
logical aspect of how this would play to the general
public in uniting the country and showing Trump to be
an individual that, even though the Biden administration absolutely targeted him,
weaponized the DOJ against him, he had, like you mentioned,

(30:25):
the gravity of character, to rise above it and pardon
Joe Biden's son. I think it'd be a checkmate move
honestly politically on the chessboard, I really do. But I
get the sentiment from these Texters. Frandy said, let him
rot in jail talking about Hunter. This one says Hunter
broke the law. Is he above the law? Everyone should
get that privilege. It's a tough one, but it's as

(30:46):
political a play as it is anything else in terms
of right and wrong and justice and all that. Reminder,
we'll have our Friday Fool of the week we come back.
Those votes, send them in, whether they're for Sunny Houston
and a Navarro, Nicole Wallace, Letitia James, or Anthony Scottramucci.
We'll have our winter declared when we return, and send
you into your Friday weekend. It's dark out, there's all

(31:07):
kinds of snow. What's going on? I blame Kelly Aaron
Ryan schuling life.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
All the weather outside is prideful, but the fire is
so delightful.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
And since we've no place to go, let it snow,
let it so, let it stick. Well. Fortunately I live
only a mile and a half away from the station.
Poor Kelly. She's out in the outskirts of Guam, I think,
in the eastern portion of Colorado, technically Aurora. Somehows it's
still still Aurora, but it's not the Aurora you think of.

(31:43):
How are you getting home, Kelly? Kiss going on there? Uh,
we're gonna drive. We Adam's gonna come get you all
the way here. Yes, that's mighty nice of him, isn't it.
I think so. I'm gonna keep him fair enough? All right?
Without further ado, do we have a final tally on
our Friday Fool of the Week, and the nominees once

(32:04):
again were If you're just tuning in, Sonny Houston, shocker,
I know, Anna Navarro, same show the view. Please don't
watch that. I have to edit it so that you
don't have to watch it. Nicole Wallace MSNBC, Latitia James,
New York's age Attorney General, and Anthony Scaramouchi over, well,
we do have a winner, okay, but we did have

(32:26):
a write in. Who's the right in? I gotta ask
you really quick. We know a lot of time. But
if Nicki Haley had been the nominee, what do you
think the result would have been? Nicki Haley against Kamala Harris?
Straight up? Don't make me well. Ross's point was that
Nicki Haley would have done just as well, if not
better than Donald Trump. Correct? Okay, do you think she

(32:49):
still would have won, but just not by as much
as Trump? Correct? You think that part? Okay? Yes? Would
you rather have a president Nicki Haley than a President
Kamala Harris? Those are the only two choices? Yes?

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Did it have to be women?

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yes? I know you hate them, but I mean that's
a no brainer for me. Yeah, it's not Kamala And okay,
I'll settle for Nikkyle.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
I wouldn't love it though, Yeah, And that's my point.
There would not be as much enthusiasm behind her. There
wouldn't be people turning out of the woodwork from the
rural counties of so many states that would never otherwise vote,
but they come out to vote for Trump. And I
think people like Ross Kamenski they missed the vote on Trump.
They don't understand them. They just don't All right, who's
the winner? All right? Leticia James, Oh really, do you
think that's an upset?

Speaker 5 (33:30):
I do, because we had a few for Anna Navarro.
But in the end, Leticia pult I would have.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Gone for the mood. Scaramucci got absolutely pantsed on live television.
Joe Kernan's The NBC was brilliant. However, here's Leticia James
saying that they didn't expect these results, but she's prepared
to fight.

Speaker 6 (33:48):
I congratulate the President elect Donald Trump, and if possible,
we will work with his administration, but we will not
compromise our values, for our integrity, our principles. Oh, we
did not expect this result. Good, but we are prepared

(34:11):
to respond to this result. And my office has been
preparing for several months because we've been here before. We
face this challenge before. Yeah, right, and we use the
rule of law to fight back.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Oh, come on, lawfair, and.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
We are prepared to fight back once again once again
because as the Attorney general of this great story, is
my job to protect and defend the rates of New
Yorkers and the rule of law, and I will not
shrink from that responsibility.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Oh yes, oh we're supposed to cut now, Okay, that's
how that was. Like she left that for an applause
line and the other people, I guess we men are
collapsed and she's just not saying anything. Keep in mind
that New York state that I think Joe Biden won
by twenty three, Kamala Harris is only winning by twelve.
So Letitia James. I'll due respect, Attorney General. I think

(35:10):
the people of New York even are sickier bull crab.
I think we're sick of this politically motivated witch hunt,
weaponization of our justice system. And the people decided that
Tuesday night, President elect Trump, you're not going to bring
him down. It's over, and it'll be over for the
next four years, maybe with jd vance for twelve. Have

(35:33):
a great weekend, everybody that Dan caplis show us next.
Talk to again on Monday here on Ryan Schuling Live.
