Because we're in the stage.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
This is your Morning Show with Michael o'deil chorn.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
President LEC.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Trump with a very strong warning to Hamas to release
the October seventh hostages before he takes the oath of office.
Supreme Court discussing the FDA's actions on flavored vapes, White
House denying. President Biden lied when he previously said he
wouldn't partner his son Hunter. And it looks like we're
off to our coldest start to December in years, which

(01:00):
makes it begin to look a lot like Chris and
the Factory of Sadness continued for the Cleveland Browns who
fell to three, three and nine last night A mile
Hi losing forty one thirty two to the Denver Broncos.
Good morning, and welcome to Tuesday, December twenty twenty four
on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I
am Michael del Jorno and this is your morning Show.

(01:21):
Next out, we're going to visit with author Annie Zeleski.
I We're gonna find out what she found to be
the top love songs of all time. In her book,
which is a great stocking stuffer. She covers we found
love song by song, and it's beautifully illustrated the fascinating
history and stories behind the one hundred most popular and
cherish love songs of all time. Vincent writes, I will

(01:42):
always love you, Whitney Houston. We'll add that to the list.
At last, Edda James was added the list by Linda
I Thought in a tearful presentation to the jury, brought
forth Dave Loggins and Anne Murray, Nobody loves me like
you do, and the haunting question what have I'd never
met you?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Of course, most love songs don't.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
They don't really have their powers as much as when
you break up because then you can't listen to the
radio for like five months, because all those songs that
were so powerful, they were the soundtrack of your love
are now your your nightmare and haunt. And Donald Trump
is threatening to his slap tariffs on many imports starting
inauguration day. Brio Nee will join us next half hour

(02:25):
with all the rundown of things you should consider buying
before the prices go up. Sounds of the Day, Well,
most of them have to do with reaction to the
Hunter Biden pardon. More specifically, not even the left is
buying this one because it's their butt on the line.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Ultimately, it smoked, he's got to stopped. I really don't
know what he said at the end of the sense.
I don't think he knows what he's said either. It's
got to be a big bit understanding. I'm going in, Yeah,
that's area. How do you like my love?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
All?

Speaker 5 (03:05):
Right?

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Time for Sounds the Day, ten minutes after the hour,
let's start with Corinne Jean Pierre.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Remember we said we kind of felt sorry for her.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I mean, this woman's been carrying this lie for the president,
and now she's got to face everybody in the White
House press room, no, she doesn't.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
She got on the getaway plane to Africa.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
With old Joe, but she didn't get away with it
because she's back sitting with the press, and we do
have some sounds of her defending the hunter Biden by pardon.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
You have said repeatedly yourself since the election, and the
President has said for months no pardon was coming. I
just I wanted to ask you, could those statements now
be seen as lies from the American people?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Is there really a credibility is you're given now this announcement.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
First of all, one of the things that the president
always believes is to be truthful to the American.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Jim, but that is something that is struggled lives.

Speaker 7 (03:56):
And if you see the end of his I assume
that you've read his statement and you look at the
end of that statement, and he actually says that in
the first line, in the last paragraph and respects the
thinking and how the American people will actually see this
in his decision making. And I would encourage everyone to

(04:19):
read it full of the President's statement, I think he
lays out his thought process, He lays out how he
came to this decision. He came to this decision. This weekend.
So let's be very clear about that. He says it himself,
it's in his voice. He said, he came to this
decision this weekend.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Therefore I didn't lie. He lied, but he didn't lie
because he's always based things.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
On being truthful, and the truthful statement was I think
they singled my son out, So I'm going to go
ahead and I'm going to pardon it.

Speaker 8 (04:50):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Compare that to the way the Daily Mail handled it.
They've already moved on to what's next. His brother, Jim himself.
Look at the dates. That's all Karen's got. Just focus
on the narrative. It's a father doing what's right for

(05:11):
his ill treated son. There's been nothing but a victim.
Oh doesn't have anything to do with barisma. There's a
reason why it says anything he's been accused of, convicted of,
charged with, even what he hasn't been charged of. Blanket

(05:31):
pardon from January twenty fourteenth through twenty twenty four translation
says nothing to do with the irs, nothing to do
with filling out gun paperwork. This has everything to do
with the shady deals He lined his father's and his

(05:54):
own pockets with and as a Daily Mail says, and
don't forget uncle Jim will receive a pardon, and probably
Biden will pardon himself on the way out the door.
This has always been about Joe Biden. Well, there's not
a lot of Democrats that feel much better about this

(06:15):
because they know they're the ones ultimately holding the bag.
Joe's got that money, it's already in his bank account,
and he's going to be protected. His son's going to
be protecting. His brother's going to be protected for all
they're wrongdoing. But the Democrat Party won't Berichocracy here.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
It is astounding.

Speaker 9 (06:32):
I mean Donald Trump has said and done things, you know,
said things and done other things.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
And again he's a convicted fellow himself.

Speaker 9 (06:41):
He has used his power to benefit his friends, his
wealthy allies. In this instance, we're talking about a man
who decided to take care of his son after years
of unrelenting attacks.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I don't blame him, Scott.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Did you have the same in the service over hang
on a justice system for the elite as you put
it before when it was Donald Trump pardoning Steve Bannon,
Paul Manifort, Roger Stone, Michael Finn, Charlie Kushner, same concern then.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Listen.

Speaker 10 (07:17):
You guys can spend all day long trying to spend
this that this is Donald Trump's fault, that this is
somehow caused by Donald Trump. Oh, he's appointing the wrong people.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh he did it.

Speaker 10 (07:27):
Oh this is the worst possible thing a president could
possibly do to his party and to the country, to
sit for a year and say I will not do this.
I will not do this.

Speaker 11 (07:41):
The rule of.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Law is sacred.

Speaker 10 (07:43):
We have to respect the justice system, jurys, we have
to respect juries. We have to respect the guardrails and
the norms of our democracy. These people are liars. Inflation,
it's transitory, EF datastan, it's a success. The border is secure.
Robert Hurry a liar. The videos are cheap bakes. Biden
has a cold. He'll never drop out. Oh, I'll never

(08:05):
pardon Hunter.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's all a lie. It is all a griff.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
One of the reasons I want to play that clip
too is and he's a colleague now that I'm with Premier.
For as much as I appreciate Sean Hannity, others would
say Laura Ingram, Jesse Waters, I would say Megan Kelly
and and others. The job that Scott Jennings does behind

(08:35):
enemy Lines on CNN deserves a standing ovation. Now I
do not mean this as a criticism, but there was
a time on the View where Elizabeth Hasselback was the
lone voice for the right, and so back when you
would give them oxygen and actually watch everything was writing
on her because she's the one person there that can
speak the truth, and she wasn't quite up to it.

(08:58):
Scott Jennings is up to it. Every single time. You
could make a case that Scott Jennings would have been
the perfect White House Press secretary. You could make the
case he would have been a perfect national host on
a network. Nobody ever seems to frame things so perfectly

(09:19):
and do it where it matters most. Because we live
in a matrix. And so while you may watch Fox
or you may read other news sources, he's where in
their matrix. They only hear Axios, they only hear The Atlantic,
they only hear the Washington Post, they only hear CNN, MSNBC,
And he's there speaking these truths, and he's right, and

(09:43):
he nails it here. Look I said it this way.
At the end of the day, media is dead. It
hasn't known it for a long time.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
But it's dead.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
It's dead in audience size, it's dead in revenue, and
it's dead in influence, proved in two Donald Trump victories.
They're finally realizing they're dead. What Scott's already onto is
the next level. What's the health of the Democrat Party? Sure,
Joe Biden can lose all credibility. He lined his pockets
with these deals, and he covered his son's butt. He'll

(10:17):
soon cover his brother and his own and go off
into the sunset with all the ill gotten gains. But
the party won't get away with it. And it's been
a complete loss and credibility. Just ask Charmain, the God,
he'll tell you. Well, I don't know if I saw
it coming. I wasn't thinking about it. But Hunter was
singled out because he broke them off. That's number one.

Speaker 12 (10:39):
He was singing out because he had an illegal gun
and taxivation charges, not because he was the President's.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Sign And I honestly don't care.

Speaker 12 (10:45):
I just want Democrats to stop backing like they are
on this moral high ground politically when they have shown
us they're not.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
You know, whether it's kipping the primary process.

Speaker 12 (10:52):
When Biden stepped down and things like Biden is pardoning
his sign stop acting like you all to procure party
and Republicans aren't. And it also showed me a the
officials can do whatever they want as long as they
have the political will encourage.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
To do it. Absolutely how people are seeing.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
It, it's the Democrats who now, at first, finally they
ever had the moral high ground being the party of abortion.
I mean that's not moral high ground, but in their
narrative perceptive battles, they've clearly lost it. In fact, the

(11:27):
only real idiots that will be left defending Joe Biden
the Democrats are well brain surgeon's like, whoop be Goldberg, listen.

Speaker 13 (11:36):
I understand why lie about it for so long?

Speaker 14 (11:41):
I've stopped one calling it a lot?

Speaker 13 (11:43):
Okay, why repeatedly say you're not going to when you do?
And secondarily, for the part of this country, half of
it that doesn't support Biden doesn't No one personally doesn't
get to tas phone calls, and they're just looking at
a system that seems like it's only benefits the people
who aren't a resident.

Speaker 14 (11:58):
Does that, Well, here's what it's. It's a president for
all of us to open our eyes because we've elected
someone who is in a similar situation, who didn't have
a drug problem, who knew what he was doing, who
clearly stood and said I can do this, and he
did it. So I think, for many many reasons, this

(12:24):
is very different than any other situation that we have
average out with because when we're talking about who gets
a partner and who doesn't get a partner, this man,
I think Biden had no intentions of partning Hunter, and
I think the more stuff that went down, I think

(12:45):
he said, well, why am I busting my behind?

Speaker 11 (12:47):
Is?

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Stay straight and do the That's more a relativism in
its best, isn't it. I make statements all the time
with the Declaration of Independence as ever inta and the
Constitution as their guide. Let's be one nation under God,

(13:07):
indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Because without law
and order, without liberty, what are we a failed experiment?
But when you compare those kinds of weak defenses, I'm
already very discredited poorly in ratings and revenue performing shows.

(13:30):
Where does this really lead the Democrat Party?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Now?

Speaker 2 (13:35):
The future of the Republican Party, you could say it's
in danger too. It may have already even lost itself
to Trump. Ism, it didn't absorb trump Ism. And once
Donald Trump shuffles off the podium in four years and

(13:56):
we'll know more about the future of the Republican Party.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Does it move on as.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
The trumpetin party for the Democrat Party? And all that's
about to be revealed, including all these things he's doing
on is way out the door. Well, like the media
that's been in their back pocket, they're going to have
no ratings. See Charlotte made the God. They're going to

(14:20):
have no revenue, They're gonna have no credibility and no
influence and potentially no future.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
And you know what, they know.

Speaker 15 (14:29):
It great to have you here because you wait in
on Biden's decision and you said that it and your view,
it put the personal interest ahead of duty and that
it further eroded americans fate that the justice system is fair.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
And equal for all.

Speaker 15 (14:42):
What do you think that this move means for President
Biden's legacy, Well, I think.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
It's not going to help.

Speaker 16 (14:50):
And I believe that he has run his campaigns and governed,
you know, saying that he was helping to try to
rescue our democracy from the clutches of Donald Trump, which
is a very worthy thing.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
We should be trying to do.

Speaker 16 (15:08):
But when you turn around after you say month after
month after month, you're not going to pardon your son,
and then you do pardon him. Putting the personal ahead
of your responsibilities to the American people, it just gives
the American people a sense that there's one system for
the rich and powerful and another system for everybody else,

(15:31):
which is one of the reasons why we haven't been
able to keep Donald Trump from coming back.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Here again for a second term.

Speaker 16 (15:39):
That's in that terrible context that this decision was made
by the president.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, that is the Democrat senator from Colorado. Even the
Democrats know what Joe Biden has done to them.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
She's going to get smoked. He's got to stopped.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this sense, I don't think he knows what he's said.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
It's got to be a big bit understanding. I'm going
when I'm going when it Why do you like my garfi?
That's just Sounds of the Day for Tuesday to seventh
and third.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
This is Paul David Patterson down in Toledo District, Belize.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
And my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael
Mill Jordan Hi, it's Michael.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Your morning show can be heard live on great radio
stations across the country like WILM and w DOV and
Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM seven twenty the
Voice in Middle Georgia.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
We're Gonna Eat some blankets.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
News Radio six fifty k e n I, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast. If he did have to follow through,
because let's face it, if nothing else, they may continue
to not address some of these issues he's wanting them
to issue. And the tariffs are initiated. What would be
that list of things we might want to buy now?

Speaker 17 (17:05):
Yeah, and they may be initiated until he gets a
deal in March, right, so it might be a tariff
that's an effect from January twentieth and until they get
a deal.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
In the spring.

Speaker 17 (17:13):
So this is the time to go buy that smartphone.
I mean those things are like a thousand bucks, so
if it goes up twenty five percent, that's a significant
amount of money. Same with refrigerators, washer and dryer, that
kind of a thing. We're gonna see toys probably hit
with these tariffs. But you'll buy that by December twenty
fifth anyway, So that's okay. But if the vacuum cleaner
is a bit wonky, if the toaster doesn't pop up

(17:34):
quite like it used to, and if you're seeing some
of these holiday sales.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Now may be the time to jump on it. I
don't need a phone refrigerators. I'm just skeptical.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I'm buying period because I have one right now that's
twenty two years old. I want to get rid of
it because I want the different kinds of drawers and things.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
They have the computers on the on the face of.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
But you know there are streak Yes, that's all it is.
It's stuff that and the old ones don't break. So
I'm not anxious to do that anyway. Vacuums, my wife,
of course, is addicted. We have six toys. My kids
are too old number toys these days.

Speaker 17 (18:10):
Hair Dryers was something on the list as well. Shoes
might be something else that you might want to pick
up an extra pair here and there. If the prices
are going up twenty twenty five percent on those, you know,
one hundred dollars pair of shoes, that's twenty bucks in
your pocket.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Perhaps now.

Speaker 17 (18:26):
I think it goes across the board either because there's
a lot and it's going to depend on the brand.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Obviously, some of them do a lot more. They're manufacturing
in Indonesia.

Speaker 17 (18:34):
We're also seeing that the big companies like Apple are
shifting production from China to India or other places in
order to get around it doing like the auto companies
do here. You know, made in China but assembled in India,
and which side gets the tariff.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Doesn't give you kind of it.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
My brother is very fixated and loyal on that. I'll
never forget. He grabbed my foot, I'm like, what are
you doing? Pulls off my shoe. It was a tennis shoe,
and he goes, how could you buy this? I'm like what?
And it was a brand everybody would know, look at
this made in China.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
So a lot of these tennis shoes and you'll find
that they move around. So you know, my brother's like
looking at them all and he just waits. He finds
Vietnam and that's the one he buys. But I mean,
you start looking at all these layeled drive you crazy
because some of them, you know, we know this with
the automobiles, right, some things are made here.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Parts of it had made there. Some of them are sembledeer.

Speaker 17 (19:27):
Alder By the way, did you I was in Vietnam.
There is the War of American Aggression Museum. That's just
it's a hold that just shatters your framework of things
when you saw that.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
But I do like their coffee and I do like
their food, and they're great, great people. But all right,
so the bottom line is we don't know how much
of this is going to be real and for how long.
But if so, that's the list of things to buy,
like a volt on a wheel fuge.

Speaker 17 (19:53):
Keep yeah, just keep an eye on Maybe this is
the time to pick up some of them, especially those
household appliances. The thing is, Canada's more complicated because it's oil,
it's lumber, it's sort of the ingredients of things that
could be facing these higher tariffs, whereas China's those cheap
finished products.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
All right, bottom line is travel agents just don't exist anymore.
Remember when you never took a vacation without seeing your
travel agent. I used to always use a travel agent.
I don't know if they exist anymore.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
They do.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Rory will be our travel agent because twenty twenty five
is shaping up to be a great year to travel abroad.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
We'll do that next hour. Thanks for Rory.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
All right, if you're just waking up, Time for your
top five stories of the day. The White House defending
President Biden's decision to partn his son Hunter, Mark Mayfield
has more.

Speaker 18 (20:39):
Spokeswoman Karine Jean Pierre smoked to reporters on Air Force
One as Biden traveled to Africa on munder those who
are late.

Speaker 7 (20:45):
Paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but pay them
back subsequently with interest and penalties are typically given non
criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.

Speaker 18 (20:58):
President Biden had promised he would not pardon or commute
hunter sentence on federal gun and tax evasion charges. Republicans
and some Democrats were not happy with the pardon, claiming
Biden put family ahead of country.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
I'm market nee view well.

Speaker 19 (21:10):
R F K.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Junior's got his site set on the FDA. The Supreme
Court does as well. They're discussing the FDA's actions on
flavored vapes.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Brian Shook reports.

Speaker 11 (21:18):
The justices discussed on Monday whether the agency acted unfairly
in its decision to stop two companies from marketing their
e cigarette products with flavors, including pink Lemonade and crembrew lay,
that it saw as a risk to young people. The
companies alleged the FDA changed the rules in the middle
of its review on how their products would be evaluated.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I'm Brian shook More a President elect.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Trump's cabinet picks are making the rounds with senators on
Capitol Hill. Lisa Taylor has that report.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is Trump's nominee for age,
and she met with Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
I hope that you feel the honor that you should
feel for having this nomination from President Trump.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
I do. Chairman Grassley is the incoming chair of the
Senate Judiciary Committee. Trump is named over two dozen people
for top positions in his administration. The latest is Cash
Battel to replace FBI Director Christopher Ray. Ray was appointed
by Trump in twenty seventeen, and replacing him would mean
Trump would have to force him to step down. Battel,
as a former Justice Department prosecutor only, said Taylor.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Well, the founder of the late seventies group The Village People,
is perfectly fine with Donald Trump's use of their iconic YMCA.
Victor Willis says he supported Kamala Harris in the twenty
twenty four election, but added that he believes President elect
Trump genuinely enjoys this song and he didn't have the
heart to tell him he couldn't use it wells acknowledged

(22:45):
that the Trump campaign obtained a license from.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
BMI to play this song.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
He also acknowledged that YMC is estimated to gross seven
million dollars since Trump started using the seventy eight Discosman, yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Think, uh, several million dollar. Yet we don't I'm using
that at all.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
I thought it was driven by Wicked, but Molana I
played a big role in the Thanksgiving box office record.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Scott Carr has more.

Speaker 3 (23:11):

dollars over the five day holiday period, a call from.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
The ancestors sale to news guys.

Speaker 3 (23:21):

Super Mario Brothers movie. Strong second and third place showings
by Wicked and Gladiator two combined with Moana two to
make for the biggest grossing Thanksgiving period ever, with a
total haul for theaters of four hundred and twenty two
million dollars.

Speaker 1 (23:40):

us on that next hour. The cold to start to
December in years for some parts of the USA. But
that's getting us to feel a little bit more like Christmas.
And we're gonna talk a little bit with Ann Zelenski,
who's got a great book on the history of love songs.
We're gonna talk to her about that next hour. You

(24:56):
guys have been chiming in with yours. I have to
start with Big John, Big John being sensitive and talking
love songs suffer, not thy listeners under.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Thee you haf Big John's gonna chime me in on
his love song. Greatest love song was follow You Follow
Me by Genesis.

Speaker 11 (25:14):
I want to hear him singing colong follow you, Will
you follow me with you?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Next up?

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I think is Terry? Is Terry Terry or Tom one
of the other which on everyone You're Gonna do? Here
comes Terry?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Hi Michael.

Speaker 13 (25:29):
I understand Biden doesn't want his son to go to prison,
but why wouldn't he commute this sentence rather than pardon him.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Seems to me it would have been a lot.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Less messy because it's not about the I R. S
and it's not about the gun charges. We don't even
know if he would have been charged or given any
jail time. It's about China and Russia dealings. It's about
covering his own rent, not his suns. Uh if I
do what is Tom Michael?

Speaker 20 (25:54):
My favorite song in romance is Till There Was You.
It was in The Music Man, sung by Shirley Jones
to Robert Preston and later played on the Beatles sixty
five album by the Beatles. Till There Was You, beautiful
romance like they used to have.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Tom, He's got to be from Nashville.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
That's a come on because that's how an average music
city guy it WLAC. So, yeah, yeah, you know that
was I'm still going. Nobody has swayed me off of
Dave Massina writer is at Dave Loggins? Uh? You had
the Anne Murray Dave Loggins. Yeah, and Dave Loggins Dave Loggins.

(26:33):
He's what did Please come to Boston? That one should
be on the list, but the duet with Anne Murray.
Nobody loves me like you do. There's something about that bridge.
What if I'd never met you? Where would I be
right now? Funny how things just fall in place sometimes.
I mean that's a that's a scary question, right, What
if I never met my wife. What if I wouldn't
have my best friend, I would have gotten through all

(26:54):
those tough times. I wouldn't have my son, I wouldn't
have my twin daughter. I mean, what if I'd never
met you? Endless love, endless love, Oh myn unchained melody.
Oh yeah, we'll see where these all rank on the
list and some of the fascinating stories behind the greatest
love songs ever with author Annie Seleski next Hour, Suffer
Not thy White House correspondent onto the Yesterday John Deckery

(27:15):
were saying, boy, poor KRN Jean Pierre. I mean, she
got to just put the book out there and let
them open it up to whatever chapter. Nope, she got
on the getaway plane to Africa two. But unfortunately she
was in the back of the plane with the president
and had to answer questions about all of this.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
What do you think.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I don't think this is the the end all. I
think this is the beginning. What all might Joe Biden
do in these final sixty days of his Kamikazi presidency.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
What do you think the policy he's going to try
to push for?

Speaker 8 (27:44):
Yeah, before we get to that, I think you're right
about the fact that this is the beginning, it's not
the end. First of all, two things in regards to
what you just mentioned. One, Karine John Pierre. She's back
in Washington, as is the President. At the end of
the week. She will have a Way House press briefing
on Friday of this week. And you can imagine what
that press briefing is going to be like with all

(28:06):
the questions about the Hunter, the pardon for Hunter Biden.
I'll be at that briefing. I'll be asking those questions.
And then also, let's not forget there is another Biden
family member that could also receive a presidential pardon. That
is Joe Biden's brother, Jim Biden. So look be on
the lookout for that perhaps between now and the time
that Joe Biden leaves office.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
You're an attorney in addition to being a White House correspondent,
so you were quick to notice what I noticed. The
dates and by going to January twenty fourteen, things he's done,
he's been accused of, convicted of, or will be accused of.
And then the dates are January twenty fourteen. We all
know Hunter takes the job with Barisma in April of
twenty fourteen. This has a lot to do with Barisma

(28:49):
holdings and the playing with the big guy, the vice president,
and deals with Russia and China and others. So if
that's the case, and it appears to be, yeah, Jim's
in the mix, so is Joe himself right, he may
pardon himself on the way.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Off the door.

Speaker 19 (29:07):
Potentially. That has never been tested.

Speaker 8 (29:09):
In any court in this country whether an individual.

Speaker 19 (29:13):
President can pardon themselves, especially.

Speaker 8 (29:16):
A preemptory parton like the one that you're suggested. But
in any case that we'll see what happens between now
and January the twentieth on that front. In the meantime,
Joe Biden is also focused on other elements of his legacy,
because this will be part of his legacy.

Speaker 19 (29:31):
For sure, the part for a son.

Speaker 8 (29:33):
The other part of his legacy is what he hopes
to accomplish between now and the time that he leaves office. Certainly,
you're talking about funding weapons in Ukraine.

Speaker 19 (29:44):
That was something that was actually announced yesterday.

Speaker 8 (29:46):
By the National Security Visor, providing more stability in Gaza,
and lastly winning confirmation of roughly a dozen federal judges.
Those are the things that in the lame duck session
of Congress Biden would like to accomplish.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Do you think anything involving I mean, he couldn't do
like a blanket pardon for all illegal immigrants or something.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Could he.

Speaker 8 (30:13):
I don't see why he couldn't do that. I mean
that there's nothing to prevent him.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
From doing that.

Speaker 8 (30:18):
It's very unusual, but you know that this is an
unusual time. But he do that in the same way
that Donald Trump has mentioned the idea of a blanket
partner for all of those involved on January sixth of
twenty twenty one. Sure he could do that. I don't
think it's going to happen, but that certainly is within
the realm of possibility.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
How much should Democrats be concerned what this Democrat president
does going out the door that could impact their future?
I think the number one thing Democrats have to worry
about is a successful presidency for Donald Trump, which hands
off to trump Ism continuing within the Republican Party. But
I mean there's a lot on the line for the

(30:57):
Democrat Party in what Joe does in these final days,
and Joe's never been one to follow party line.

Speaker 8 (31:04):
Yeah, I think so. I think that anybody connected to
the administration is likely to be hurt by that legacy
more than someone who's a Democratic governor for instance, that
is no connection to Joe Biden. But if you are
someone who has presidential ambitions, like a Pete Budajet, you're
tied to this administration and you have to, you know,

(31:26):
be tied to the various actions that Joe Biden took.
You really have to distance yourself from Joe Biden as
you pursue your own presidential ambitions after he Lee's off.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
It's interesting. Everything you're covering, John are things that maybe
Joe could do. I call it a kamikaze presidency, but
you know what he could do on his way out
the door, you know, damn everything else. I'm going to
do this and let the Chips follow their me but
the ultimate final say could be Donald Trump. And we
get that in his message to Hamas where he states

(31:57):
very clearly, if you do not release these hostages by
the time I take the oath of office, all hell
is going to rain down. And he says the Middle
East that's to cover Just in case you think he's
just talking to the proxies, He's talking to everybody above that.
That's a Reagan s type of moment. The final stake
could be Donald Trump's. If the hostages are released prior

(32:17):
to him taking the oath of office, that would be
history repeating itself in a way, wouldn't it.

Speaker 8 (32:22):
Well, it would be history repeating itself if you're looking
all the way back when Ronald Reagan took the oath
of office back on January the twentieth of nineteen eighty one,
and the beliefs of those American hostages in Iran happened simultaneously.
Maybe that is, you know, what Donald Trump has in mind.
It was a very interesting message that he delivered yesterday

(32:45):
on social media.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
You know, left the door.

Speaker 8 (32:48):
Wide open in terms of what his intentions are and
sends a very strong message two a month.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah, and the problem is nobody knows what he'll do.
That's what makes it so powerful. We're all in this together.
