Welcome back to hashtag Sisters-in-law with Joyce fans, Kimberly Atkins store, Bob McQuaid, and me, Jill Wine Banks.

The gift-giving season is here, so don't forget to check out our merch store.

We restocked everything in time for the holidays. Just go to politicon.com slash merch.

Now, let's get on to the show where we're going to have some really good discussions today.

First, we're going to talk about some unique issues

concerning the capture and status of Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of the United

Healthcare CEO. We have some really interesting topics talking about clemency and pardons.

And then we're going to talk about, will justice be done at DOJ in the new civil rights division under the new

chief about FBI under Cash Patel and Ray resigning? And what does the DOJ IG report mean?

Before we get to our topics, I want to ask you all, have you put up any holiday decorations

or made any special preparations for the coming holidays? Christmas and Hanukkah fall on the same

day this year? Well, as I sit here in front of my tree, which I have put up, in my podcast room, I always put up an artificial tree. And in our

living room, we have a live tree that we're waiting for my stepson, who's on his way home,

to trim. So yeah, we've begun, Greg's hung lights. Yeah, we've, we are in progress with our decorations. They're not done,

but we have begun. I have to say, I was, I have been feeling not jolly, like not jolly at all.

And one of the things that I thought would help is I sort of forced myself, it really wasn't in

the Christmassy mood and you got to be in the mood to decorate and do all that stuff. So I kind of did it anyway and it kind of worked. Like it did, it in

itself, putting on some Christmas music, putting up some lights and things around the house,

hanging mistletoe actually did lift my mood. So it's important stuff.

You know, I'm all decorated too. It's like really

early for me just usually because of the nature of the beast. I don't get it done in time.

But we have a tree up. It's a tinsel tree. And let me tell you all the best thing about it.
