Megyn Kelly认为拜登总统违背了其关于不赦免他儿子亨特·拜登的承诺，这暴露了他的谎言，并破坏了公众对其政府的信任。她认为许多人都预料到拜登会赦免亨特，而左派对此感到震惊，这凸显了他们从错误的新闻来源获取信息。她还认为拜登赦免亨特事件是美国社会分裂的一个缩影。Rich Lowry认为拜登关于不赦免亨特的谎言是显而易见的，他本应保持沉默，而不是公开撒谎。他认为拜登一贯不诚实，这次赦免是他职业生涯中不诚实的总结。Charles C.W. Cooke认为拜登过去曾大力主张严惩枪支和毒品犯罪，而现在却赦免了犯有相关罪行的儿子，这具有讽刺意味。他认为拜登在6月份就决定要赦免他的儿子，但他当时撒谎说不会这样做。他还认为拜登在赦免声明中声称自己一直都在说实话，这与他之前的谎言相矛盾。他认为拜登赦免亨特的行为与他之前标榜的道德优越性和诚实形象相矛盾。 其他嘉宾和评论员也表达了类似的观点，他们认为拜登赦免亨特是出于政治目的，是对法治的破坏，是对那些因类似罪行受到惩罚的人的不公平。他们还批评了媒体对拜登的盲目支持以及他们对这一事件的反应。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why did President Joe Biden pardon his son Hunter Biden?

President Biden pardoned Hunter Biden to prevent him from serving a sentence and becoming a convicted felon for crimes related to lying on a gun form and tax issues. The pardon also covered a decade of potential criminal activity, much of which had not been prosecuted.

What was the timeline of Hunter Biden's involvement with Burisma and the subsequent pardon?

Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma in January 2014, and his pardon by his father, President Joe Biden, covered activities from that date until the day of the pardon.

How did the corporate media react to Biden's promise not to pardon Hunter?

The corporate media, including figures like Mika Brzezinski and Andrew Weissman, praised Biden for his supposed commitment to the rule of law and integrity, contrasting him with Donald Trump. They were later embarrassed when Biden pardoned Hunter despite his earlier promises.

What are the key allegations against Pete Hegseth, Trump's potential Secretary of Defense nominee?

Pete Hegseth is accused of being repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity, including an incident at a strip club in 2015 and another where he was reportedly so drunk he needed assistance to get to his hotel room. There are also allegations of financial impropriety during his time running veterans organizations.

What is Charles C.W. Cooke's stance on Kash Patel becoming the head of the FBI?

Charles C.W. Cooke supports Kash Patel's nomination as FBI director, viewing it as an opportunity to reform or potentially dismantle the FBI, which Cooke believes is an institution in need of significant change.

What is the likelihood of the Menendez brothers being released from prison?

Marsha Clark believes the likelihood of the Menendez brothers being released is low, given the public's awareness of their crimes and the potential political backlash against such a decision.

What new insights does Marsha Clark's book 'Trial by Ambush' provide about the Barbara Graham case?

Marsha Clark's book reveals new evidence, including a hidden statement by a key accomplice that was not disclosed to the defense, which could have significantly altered the trial's outcome.
