Summary

Jim and Greg are back from Thanksgiving and are ready to rip into President Biden for his lying and brazenly bogus logic for pardoning his son. They also dissect the latest carnage in Syria and Trump's choice of Kash Patel to lead the FBI.

First, they vent over Biden’s very predictable yet inexcusable pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. After repeatedly insisting he would never pardon him, Biden now asserts that Hunter was a victim of unfair political persecution. And the pardon covers a span of more than 10 years. We've got a lot to say about this one!

Next, they analyze the ongoing conflict in Syria, where rebel forces are seizing large territories, and some believe Bashar al-Assad’s regime may be coming to an end. But Jim and Greg point out that there are no clear "good guys" in this fight, which also includes Russia and Iran.

Finally, they discuss Trump’s choice of Kash Patel to lead the FBI and the left’s full-blown freakout over the nomination. Can Patel get confirmed? What has he promised to do in such a role? Jim and Greg also discuss how the Hunter Biden pardon may make life easier for Patel in the long run.
