Full Episode
You wanted Trump to pardon Hunter Biden, but his dad has beaten him to the punch.
Yeah, I mean, I think it would have been a very smart move by Trump to send a unifying message to a very fractured and divided America if he was to do it. But for Joe Biden to do it after assuring the world, including the American electorate, repeatedly... in the last few months up to the election, I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to pardon him.
To get the White House press secretary to repeatedly say it from the lectern in the White House, I think that's pretty disgraceful. So there's two ways of looking at this. I think if Trump had done it, smart move in unifying the country. For Biden to do it, actually a pretty shameless act of rank hypocrisy.
Yeah, not a very nice nail in the coffin of what will be probably not a particularly well-remembered presidency.
I think he'll go down as one of the worst presidents. He stayed on way too long and clearly cognitively he was in decline. I think the botched coronation of his vice president was another fiasco which came back to haunt them. I think the problem with Joe Biden is that he – the whole issue of Hunter Biden and the way he's now pardoned him –
He's always positioned himself as the whiter than white candidate against Trump. That Trump's the liar. Trump's shameless. Trump's corrupt. Trump is hypocritical. All these things. That was the stick he repeatedly used to beat Trump. And now in one fell swoop, one action. Because it's not just he's pardoned him for the things of which he's been convicted.
He's pardoned him for anything else he may have done since 2014 in that period. It's a decade of crime. It's like, what else has gone on here? A lot of rumors about much bigger stuff that may have happened. And you look at it and you think, wow, that's the kind of thing that, honestly, they talk about a banana republic relating to Trump.
This is about as close to a banana republic act as you could imagine.
Yeah, I want to talk about this on your show later on, but there's this rise of the broligarchy and bro politics at the moment.
