- 0:01Speaker 2: I was like Charlemagne.
- 0:03Speaker 1: Now is not the time to sit this one out.
- 0:07Speaker 3: America is a big reality TV show on the Breakfast Club.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Would you rather have the black president or the white president?
- 0:18Speaker 1: And you ain't black?
- 0:20Speaker 4: America has a president? Yes, donkey today for Tuesday, December
- 0:24Speaker 4: third goes to President Joe Biden first of all, dropping
- 0:26Speaker 4: the clues bonds for tailor made it.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Damn boy Taylor be killing them mentros.
- 0:30Speaker 3: She did the intro yesterday.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Oh crazy? She just being there, high working. Go ahead please.
- 0:38Speaker 4: Now, if you haven't heard, President Joe Biden pardoned his
- 0:40Speaker 4: son Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden was convicted by a jury
- 0:43Speaker 4: in June of illegally buying and possessing a gun as
- 0:47Speaker 4: a drug user. He then pleaded guilty in September to
- 0:50Speaker 4: nine tax offenses stemming from one point four million in
- 0:53Speaker 4: taxes that he didn't pay while blowing bags on escorts,
- 0:57Speaker 4: scriptless cars and drugs.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Lord having if he dropp on a clothes bombs behind Biden?
- 1:02Speaker 1: Who do you think he is? Future? Let's go to
- 1:05Speaker 1: report please.
- 1:06Speaker 2: The President issuing a full and unconditional pardon to his
- 1:10Speaker 2: son Hunter after repeating insistently repeatedly insisting in public that
- 1:15Speaker 2: he wouldn't do it, and to defend his decision, the
- 1:18Speaker 2: President adopted an argument that could have come straight out
- 1:21Speaker 2: of Donald Trump's playbook, blame your political opponents and claim
- 1:24Speaker 2: unfair persecution. President Biden said this quote, the charges in
- 1:29Speaker 2: his cases came about only after several of my political
- 1:33Speaker 2: opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose
- 1:37Speaker 2: my election, the president adding quote, no reasonable person who
- 1:41Speaker 2: looks at the facts of Hunter's cases can reach any
- 1:43Speaker 2: other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he
- 1:47Speaker 2: is my son, and that is wrong. End quote. President
- 1:52Speaker 2: Biden pardoning his son not just for the gun crimes
- 1:55Speaker 2: for which he was convicted, and not just for the
- 1:57Speaker 2: tax crimes for which he pled guilty. Instead, Biden gave
- 2:01Speaker 2: his son an extraordinarily sweeping pardon for any and all
- 2:06Speaker 2: crimes he committed, may have committed, or even merely been
- 2:10Speaker 2: involved in at any point in the last ten years.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Got to cover up those things that happened in Ukraine,
- 2:16Speaker 4: just like anything else that happens in our society. Though
- 2:18Speaker 4: there's been mixed reactions to Biden pardoning his son, let
- 2:21Speaker 4: me be the first to tell you I don't care. Okay,
- 2:24Speaker 4: as I said yesterday, I don't care if he pardons
- 2:26Speaker 4: his son. I just want Democrats to stop backing like
- 2:28Speaker 4: they are on this moral high ground politically when they
- 2:31Speaker 4: have shown us time and time again they are not. Okay,
- 2:33Speaker 4: stop backing like they'ret the pure party and Republicans aren't.
- 2:36Speaker 4: Because what happens in situations like this when you are
- 2:38Speaker 4: always calling someone else out, people expect you to be perfect,
- 2:42Speaker 4: and in politics, we know nobody is perfect. So the
- 2:45Speaker 4: least we should realistically expect you to.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Be is better.
- 2:49Speaker 4: And Biden pardoning his son for crimes that he actually
- 2:53Speaker 4: committed isn't showing they are better. And you know who's
- 2:56Speaker 4: the blame for that, Joe Biden. Joe Biden and his administration. Okay,
- 3:00Speaker 4: because once again, like they tend to do, they volunteered
- 3:04Speaker 4: a lie, President Biden. Nobody would care about you pardoning
- 3:07Speaker 4: your son if you didn't say.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Over and over that you wouldn't pardon your son.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Okay, Nobody would care about your pardoning your son if
- 3:14Speaker 4: you didn't have your Press secretary kare Kareem John Pier
- 3:18Speaker 4: are constantly saying that you wouldn't pardon your son you
- 3:21Speaker 4: would have one who said you would never pardon your
- 3:23Speaker 4: son because you have a respect for the rule of law. Okay,
- 3:25Speaker 4: the reason you are getting this backlash is because Democrats
- 3:28Speaker 4: always want to act like they stand on this moral
- 3:31Speaker 4: high ground.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I see all these.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Folks comparing Biden's pardons to all the folks Trump is pardoned.
- 3:36Speaker 1: And you know the difference. Trump is unapologetic about it.
- 3:39Speaker 4: He pardons his people, gives them jobs in his administration,
- 3:42Speaker 4: and he doesn't explain it or act like he's above
- 3:44Speaker 4: doing it. Meanwhile, this is what you and your press
- 3:47Speaker 4: secretary have sounded like every single time you were asked
- 3:49Speaker 4: if you would pardon your son.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Is there any possibility that the president would end up
- 3:54Speaker 2: pardoning his son? Well, I just said no. I just
- 3:58Speaker 2: answer with a person partner or commute his son if
- 4:02Speaker 2: he's convicted.
- 4:03Speaker 4: So I've answered this question before.
- 4:04Speaker 2: It was asked of me, not too long ago, a
- 4:06Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear and
- 4:08Speaker 2: I said, no, you.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Said before the president would not pardon his son. Is
- 4:12Speaker 1: that still the case?
- 4:13Speaker 4: Nothing has changed?
- 4:14Speaker 1: That is still the case.
- 4:15Speaker 2: And have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
- 4:18Speaker 1: Yes, I should. I adviude by the jury decision. I
- 4:21Speaker 1: will do that and I will not partner him.
- 4:23Speaker 4: I could speak for the president and he said he
- 4:26Speaker 4: would not pardon his son.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Does the President have any intention of pardoning him?
- 4:31Speaker 4: We've been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands,
- 4:34Speaker 4: which is now Ben dropping a clues bombs of Korean
- 4:36Speaker 4: John fire boys. She's so tired of line for you
- 4:38Speaker 4: all white people.
- 4:40Speaker 1: My god.
- 4:41Speaker 4: Now I know folks saying Biden changed his mind and
- 4:43Speaker 4: you have the right to change your mind. Sure, I
- 4:46Speaker 4: agree with that. But I was reading an article on
- 4:48Speaker 4: CNN this morning and it's said multiple officials who recently
- 4:52Speaker 4: worked for Joe Biden said they never believed the president
- 4:55Speaker 4: are White House aides speaking on his behalf when they
- 4:58Speaker 4: insisted in recent months that a pardon for Hunter Biden
- 5:01Speaker 4: was off the table.
- 5:02Speaker 1: A former senior West.
- 5:03Speaker 4: Wing aid said, anyone who was even close to the
- 5:06Speaker 4: top knew that he was probably going to do this,
- 5:09Speaker 4: So why did we pretend otherwise. That's what us inquiring
- 5:12Speaker 4: minds want to know, President Biden, and that's the reason
- 5:15Speaker 4: you are getting backlash about this. You said in your
- 5:18Speaker 4: statement that you just came.
- 5:19Speaker 1: To this conclusion over the weekend. Yeah right.
- 5:22Speaker 4: According to CNN, sources familiar with Hunter, Biden's legal strategy
- 5:26Speaker 4: said he would have never agreed to plead guilty in
- 5:29Speaker 4: September the all nine charges in the federal tax case,
- 5:32Speaker 4: exposing himself to the possibility of seventeen years in prison
- 5:36Speaker 4: and more than one million dollars in fines without the
- 5:39Speaker 4: expectation of clemency. So, once again, Joe Biden and the Democrats,
- 5:43Speaker 4: why act like you're above doing any of this. Democratic
- 5:46Speaker 4: Representative Greg Stanton of Arizona said that while he respects
- 5:49Speaker 4: the President, I think he got this one wrong. This
- 5:51Speaker 4: wasn't a politically motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies and was convicted.
- 5:56Speaker 1: By a jury of his peers. I agree, he.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Committed felonies and was convicted by a jury of his piers.
- 6:01Speaker 4: But he got a daddy who's pretty important, and that
- 6:03Speaker 4: daddy isn't gonna let him go down. Okay, once again,
- 6:06Speaker 4: I'm not mad Joe Biden parted this son. I just
- 6:08Speaker 4: wish Democrats would stop being cowards and stand on whatever
- 6:11Speaker 4: business they are choosing to stand on, even though this
- 6:13Speaker 4: decision is very self serving.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Okay. And that's the other thing.
- 6:16Speaker 4: Some of you liberals are out there spiking the football,
- 6:19Speaker 4: acting like this is some sort of lookback.
- 6:21Speaker 1: No, knock it off.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Okay, this doesn't benefit anybody except the Biden family, and
- 6:26Speaker 4: it's not a lickback. If you think it's a look back,
- 6:28Speaker 4: that's a false equivalency. Okay, you lost the election, all right.
- 6:31Speaker 4: Trump is in control of all three branches of government
- 6:33Speaker 4: under Biden being pardoned. It's not the same. Okay, that's
- 6:36Speaker 4: not a look back. Get the hell out of here,
- 6:38Speaker 4: all right. I wish that democrats in the administration also
- 6:42Speaker 4: wouldn't be anonymous whoever told CNN that, I wonder if
- 6:45Speaker 4: there was a way to be less righteous about it
- 6:47Speaker 4: and more like, we're not spending our time thinking about that.
- 6:50Speaker 1: The same age that.
- 6:51Speaker 4: I mentioned before said there were multiple ways Biden could
- 6:54Speaker 4: have left the door open to a pardon, rather than
- 6:56Speaker 4: ruling out its possibility altogether. It's really that simple. The
- 7:02Speaker 4: backlash wouldn't be so intense if you hadn't been so
- 7:05Speaker 4: adamant about not pardoning pardoning him in the first place.
- 7:10Speaker 4: Please get President Joe Biden the biggest he hull, and
- 7:16Speaker 4: also Joe President Biden. I have a way that you
- 7:19Speaker 4: can change the narrative. Okay, you're about to be out.
- 7:22Speaker 4: You really want to shake things up. People are questioning
- 7:24Speaker 4: your legacy. To me, your legacy will always be tied
- 7:27Speaker 4: to the eighty six Anti Drug Abuse Sack. Yeah, the
- 7:30Speaker 4: eighty six Anti Drug Abuse Sack, in the ninety four Crimeville.
- 7:34Speaker 1: You're the proud offer of both those bills.
- 7:36Speaker 4: So how about pardon everybody in federal prison for a
- 7:39Speaker 4: nonviolent weed offense. We've been saying that for a couple
- 7:42Speaker 4: of years. That would be something interesting that would get
- 7:45Speaker 4: everybody talking about something else. Yep, and you don't care.
- 7:48Speaker 4: You about to be out, and you should do that
- 7:50Speaker 4: for your legacy. Because of those the eighty six Anti
- 7:53Speaker 4: Drug Abuse Sack, because of the mandatory minimum citizen. It's
- 7:56Speaker 4: people still in prison because of laws that you in
- 8:00Speaker 4: plement it, because of the ninety four Crime Builders. People
- 8:01Speaker 4: still in prison because of large and implemented. So how
- 8:03Speaker 4: about pardon everybody in federal prison for a non violent
- 8:07Speaker 4: weed defense. It don't make no sense to me that
- 8:08Speaker 4: we is damned illegal in most of the country, whether
- 8:11Speaker 4: recreationally or additionally.
- 8:13Speaker 1: I think I said that word.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Right medicinal Okay, all right, but either way I own
- 8:17Speaker 4: the dispensary either way. But my point, God bless America
- 8:23Speaker 4: to be able to pronounce it the owner. But my
- 8:25Speaker 4: point is, pardon everybody in federal prison for a non
- 8:28Speaker 4: violent we defense.
- 8:29Speaker 1: I really want to shake things up.
- 8:32Speaker 3: I agree with you. Thank you for that donkey. Today
- 8:34Speaker 3: we open it up the phone line opinions. People say five, eight, five,
- 8:39Speaker 3: one oh five. You know what deterbs me though, but
- 8:40Speaker 3: disturbs people really bad.
- 8:42Speaker 1: It don't matter. I'm gonna just say you just said
- 8:44Speaker 1: the turbs it disturbs me. We understand each other. We
- 8:47Speaker 1: don't got to pronounce things correctly.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Anybody cares that were on the radio, right, there's a
- 8:54Speaker 3: lot of people out there. Just think about it like this.
- 8:56Speaker 3: Let's think about if you had a gun charge and
- 8:58Speaker 3: you got to serve three years, yes, and you look
- 9:00Speaker 3: at this this white boy right that's going home.
- 9:04Speaker 1: It ain't even natty white.
- 9:05Speaker 3: He had prostitutes, he had allegedly cracking cocaine, allegedly good time.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Come on, come on about this good time. This man
- 9:12Speaker 1: did this thing overseas with the Ukrainians.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Yeah, right, and he had a gun charge and he
- 9:17Speaker 3: going home before Christmas?
- 9:18Speaker 1: Well guess what?
- 9:19Speaker 3: And I got a gun charge my first time, and
- 9:21Speaker 3: I got to sit here for three years.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Well, your daddy should have made better choices. Your daddy
- 9:24Speaker 4: should have been president. He could have got you off.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Okay, I thought the Democrats were full the people. That's
- 9:30Speaker 1: the whole point of the Donky of today. His people up.
- 9:34Speaker 1: It is, well, is it? Is it that than just business?
- 9:41Speaker 3: The president is business family, business. All right, But let's
