  Speaker 5: But you know, I'm not gonna get too much into
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: that just yet, because the only thing giving right now
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: are these reactions to President Biden pardning his son. So
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Biden initially promised that he would not pardon or commute
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: hunter sentence on a Hunter's sentence on federal gun and
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: tax evasion charges. In case you missed it, let's roll
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: tape on Biden to hear those comments.
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: I shall I advide by the jury decision.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I will do that, and I will not partner.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: So Biden initially promised, excuse me, yes, So Republicans and
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: some Democrats, of course, like you mentioned earlier, v are
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: not happy with this part and Biden claimed, claiming that
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Biden put his family above the country or ahead of
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: the country.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, White, what other reason was he doing for.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: The White House is defending Biden's decision to pardon his
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: son Hunter, saying the decision came just this past weekend.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Karine Jean Pierre, the Press secretary.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: She spoke to reporters as Biden boarded Air Force one
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: to travel to Africa.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Yesterday. He has headed to Angola.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Let's hear more from White House Press Secretary Kaarine Jean
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Pierre on the pardon.
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: Those who are late paying their taxes because of serious
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: addictions but paid them back subsequently with interests and penalties
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: are typically given non criminal resolutions. It is clear that
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: Hunter was treated differently.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: I was just about to say, who who getting on
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: a criminal because yeah, like you said, not when you're
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: black book, I'll speaker Mike Johnson. He also criticized the
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: decision in a post on X, saying Biden is abusing
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: the justice system. Now, your comments, Charlemagne has been picked
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: up all over, you know, across many TV networks. What
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: are you making of this now that you know the
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: dust has settled a little bit.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Anyways, I feel.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: The same way I did yesterday.
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: And you know, Biden wouldn't be in this position if
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: he didn't say, you know, a few weeks ago that
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: he wasn't going to pardon his son, because he's the
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: one who said he wouldn't do it because he has
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: a respect for the rule of law. That's his fault,
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: because Democrats always want to act like they staying on
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: this moral high ground, like be unapologetic about it. Trump
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: don't explain why he pardons his people. But he also
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: doesn't act like he's above doing things like that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: But people could change their mind though, right.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Maybe he thought that Kamala Harris was going to get
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in office and he was like, we'll take care of
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: it later, and then when he realized Kamala.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Was losing, he's like, now I'm not playing this game.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get my son out of here.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: People change them, I'm.
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: Sure, right, But once again, don't act like you're you're
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: standing on this moral high ground. Don't stay things like
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: you respect the rule of law, because because that's not something.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: That's you change. Right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: We should always respect the rule of law, of course.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: So don't I know, when you're on your way out,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: things may change, right.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: And he might be on his way out, way out.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: But you know, it's funny to me when I had
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: when I heard Trump start talking about, Oh, I can't
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: believe you doing.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, do you see all the people that Trump parton.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: He's part of his son's some stepdaddy parted everybody.
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: So once again, Republicans are more sincere about their lives
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: than Democrats are about their truth.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I've been saying that for years and it hasn't changed.
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: And you know, Biden should be doing he should since
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: he's a proud offer of things like the eighty six
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: Anti Drug Abuse ac and the ninety four Crime Bill.
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: He should pardon everybody in federal prison for a non
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: violent weed defense. We mean, that's something else we've been
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: saying for the last couple of years. Absolutely, you in
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: federal prison right now for a non violent weed defense.
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: Joe Biden should party.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And this is a full.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Party, right Morgan where he can't be charged or tried
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: for ten years between the last last ten years right
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: from twenty fourteen.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Ever read that Absolutely, yes.
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: The prostitute and all that just party stuff in Ukraine,
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: all hundred Biden's crimes.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yep, he cleaned them up.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Speaking of which, Chad Cronister, who is the Hillsbury County Sheriff,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: and he has been nominated by President elect Trump to
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: head the Drug Enforcement Administration. Now, the funny thing about
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Cronister is his father in law, Eddie de Bartolow, who
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: you mentioned earlier. He is the former San Francisco forty
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: nine ers own owner who was pardoned by Trump during
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: his first term after the nineteen ninety eight plea deal
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: in a Louisiana gambling case.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Now, okay, the father.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: In law of the DEA elect or select anyways by Trump.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: So trad Carnister, his agency has participated in DEA programs
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: on a local level to fight the opioate crisis.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Let's hear more from him.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: I could feel more privileged and thankful that the DEA
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: has now brought the three sixty program here did the
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Tampa Bay area to help us combat this crisis.
• 4:47
  Speaker 9: This is not an epidemic that we're going to arrest
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: our way out of. It is going to take treatment, prevention, education,
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: and obviously enforcement.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the Drug Enforcement Administration, the DEA. So, of
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: course Cronister, he has been in law enforcement for three decades,
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Sheriff at Hillsboro County since twenty seventeen, and he went
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: on to say he is committed to stopping the drug
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: traffickers and keeping their highly addictive drugs off our streets
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: and out of our neighborhoods.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so it's cool when they do it. It's
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: a problem when I do.
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: Listen once once again though, Trump is unapologetic, but it
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: right parts to his people giving them jobs in his
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: administration and not explaining it. Are acting like he's above
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: doing things like that, right right, that's the difference very much.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: All right, looks like we're running out of time.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: But again, it is Giving Tuesday, so nonprofits are looking

  Speaker 5: His trip is scheduled through the fourth and we'll begin
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: with a meeting with the President of Angola at the
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: capital of Luanda.
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: The White House says the goal is to deepen ties
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: between the two countries and highlight recent US investments in
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: the African nation. Now is supporting a railway project that
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: will export minerals from Central Africa.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: To the Angolan part of Libido.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Biden was initially set to go to Angola back in October,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: but the trip was postponed because of Hurricane Milton, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: he stayed behind to respond to the aftermath of Milton. Now, meanwhile,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: President elect Trump He's headed to Paris this weekend and
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: a post on truth Social on Monday, he said he'll
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: travel on Saturday to attend the reopening of Notre Dame,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: the Notre Cathedral, which has been fully restored after a
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: devastating fire five years ago. He added that French President
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Emmanuel Marcron has done a wonderful job ensuring Notre Dame
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: has been restored.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: To its full level of glory.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: It'll be Trump's for He was elected to a second
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: term in office last month. Also, President elect Trump's cabinet
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: picks are making rounds with senators on Capitol Hill. Former
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is Trump's nominee for AG.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: This comes after math Gates, the whole Gate situation. The
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: gates Gate situation happened, and of course she met with
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa. Let's hear from them
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: at the Senate Judiciary Committee.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I hope that you feel the honor that you should
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: feel for having this nomination from President Trump.
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: I do, Chairman, should I earn the trust and the
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: nomination from all of the Senators. I will do my
• 8:29
  Speaker 10: best every day to work tirelessly for the American people,
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: and I will make you the President and our country proud.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Now, it is important to note that the Attorney General
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: of the AG is supposed to be a bipartisan position.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: It is, and it is a position that needs to
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: be confirmed by the Senate. Now, Grassley is the incoming
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. And of course Trump
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: has named over two dozen people to top positions in
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: his administration.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Now the latest is.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Cash Mattel, who we talked about yesterday, to replace FBI
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Director Christopher Ray, who ironically is a Republican initially appointed
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: by Trump back in twenty seventeen. Christopher Ray would excuse me,
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Patel would be replacing Ray, which means Trump would have
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: to force him to step down. Now Patel is the
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: former Justice Department prosecutor.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Any thoughts on these things?
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: No?
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: See oh no, all right again.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: California lawmakers are starting to starting a special session that
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: would request at the request of Governor Gavin Newsom, who
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: says he wants to Trump prove his state.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Now, political analyst Mike Lurie.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Says this is about optics as Newsom positions himself for
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: a possible run in twenty twenty eight. Let's hear from
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Mike Lourie the political analysts on this.
• 9:38
  Speaker 11: Newsom wants to expand his national profile and position himself
• 9:42
  Speaker 11: as the anti Trump, and it's worked in some ways.
• 9:45
  Speaker 11: He's gotten lots of attention, including a big New York
• 9:48
  Speaker 11: Times article giving him the national press that he craved.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: Yes, So Lourie goes on to say that Newsom has
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: three problems right now. California is a toxic brand, with
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: more than eight hundred thousand people leaving the state since
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty. So says that President Elect Trump is also
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: more popular than Newsome nationwide, being the and the anti
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Trump thing that he's doing Newsom is doing, he said
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: it's not necessarily a winning strategy, and he also went
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: on to say that Newsom is asking for money when
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: the state is facing a two billion dollar deficit, so
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: none of this is supposedly going to work in his favor,
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: according to this political analyst. Now Newsom is asking the
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: legislature for twenty five million dollars to fund possible litigation
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: if the Trump administration enacts rules that impact California policies.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Now, I'm not sure if this is a good.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Disbursement of resources, considering that who would prosecute the forthcoming administration,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: especially when Trump is making all of these appointments and nominations.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: So as you are talking about, you know, the Dems rallying,
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: trying to figure out, you know, what strategies are working,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: what are your thoughts on this?
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: I'll say one thing about Gavin Newsom, and I think
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: I said this before, but I enjoy his media strategy.
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: Like you know, he's been going on Fox News for
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: the past year. I think we all remember the debate
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: he had with Ron DeSantis on Fox News. He's got
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: his own podcast with Marshawn Lynch and Doug Hendrickson, which
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: I think is very important because it's a way to
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: build real connection and trust with people. And I like
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: how Gavin Newsom makes everything he's doing a story. We
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: heard about him visiting counties that flipped red in California,
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: and now we hear about him trying to Trump proof California.
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: He knows how to make everything news and that's something
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: that all politicians who are thinking about twenty twenty eight.
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: They need to be doing now, like, don't wait until
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty six to start your campaigns. You gotta start
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: campaigning right now. And I think he's doing that with
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: his media strategy. And I think him having that podcast
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: Politic And with Marshawn Lynch and Doug Hendrickson is very
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: important because Marshawn Lynch brings like just a certain level
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: of reason in reality to it, while while Gavin is
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: dead talking politics. You know, I think it's a very
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: good podcast. I think everybody who wants to run in
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty eight should have some have their own platform.
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: I think We's More should have his own platform. I
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: think Jos Shapil should have his own platform. I think
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: Governor Women should have her own platform, Like all of
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: them should have their own platform.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is ahead of the curve on that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: An exercise some of that unapologeticness, like you know the President.
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: Nikki Haley, Nikki Heley, I was on her show last week.
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: She's got her own radio show on serious exemp So
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: all of these people who are going to be in
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: the mix for twenty twenty eight, you know, some of
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: them are ahead of the curve, Like the Gavin Newsoms
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: and Nikki Hally' because they got their own platforms.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Right now saying straight from the source, from the table,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: that's what we want, okay, all right and bringing things
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: home to New York Governor Kathy Hochel is kicking off
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: a state wide campaign to raise awareness about New York's
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: paid parental leave policy.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Which takes effect in the new year. Dang, jess, you
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: had the baby too early.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: She's heard stories from struggling moms and moms to be
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: about how they skipped pregnancy related medical appointments. Governor Hoko
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: describes how pregnant workers will benefit from New York's paid
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: parental leave policy.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Let's hear more from New York Governor Kathy.
• 13:00
  Speaker 12: To take the time off for it, because they would
• 13:02
  Speaker 12: be leaving money with their employer and not in their
• 13:06
  Speaker 12: packet books when they're trying to deal with the ever
• 13:08
  Speaker 12: escalating costs of life in America. They just if they
• 13:12
  Speaker 12: need to take a couple hours off for a doctor
• 13:14
  Speaker 12: portment up to twenty hours during the pregnancy, the employer
• 13:17
  Speaker 12: is required to continue their normal wages.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: So yeah, prenatal leave policy, prenatal, isn't it prenatal?
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Pre natal yeah, good paid again.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Damn So if the January first pregnant workers, we'll be
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: able to take up to twenty hours of paid time
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: off for such appointments.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: The campaign will.

  Speaker 5: Notify eligible New Yorkers and businesses about the policy she
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: signed into law back in April via subway ads, social
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: media outreach, and virtual media tour and more So, if
