A lot to get to here in the news today.

We begin, I suppose, with the pardon of Deneh D'Souza. So the president of the United States announces today that he is going to pardon Deneh Denech D'Souza. Dinesh, of course, has been a guest on the program. I'm friendly with Dinesh, so full disclosure on that. Dinesh is, was basically railroaded back in back during the the Obama administration. He was in the middle of making an anti-Obama documentary. And it was revealed that Dinesh D'Souza had engaged in the process of straw donation. So basically there's a woman in Wendy Long who was running for Senate. And Dinesh wanted to give $20,000 to her. He couldn't. He could only give $5,000 to her.

So a bunch of people gave $5,000 to Wendy Long, and then Dinesh just used to reimburse them. He acknowledged this in court. He played guilty in court, and he was sentenced to a certain amount of prison time. Now, the reason that this isn't just a case of somebody doing something wrong and going to jail is because the vast majority of cases like this end with a fine.

And it seems a little coincidental that Dinesh D'Souza was making anti-Obama documentaries at just about the time that the Obama DOJ decided it was necessary that Dinesh D'Souza go to jail. Well, President Trump responded today by saying that he is going to pardon Dinesh D'Souza. Dinesh already served his time, obviously. Here's my generalized opinion on this. I do not believe the president should have pardon power, just not Trump, any president. I think it's very silly that the Constitution has pardon power for the president, that governors have pardoned power.

I think it's really dumb, specifically because either you believe the criminal justice system works or you believe it doesn't.

And having one guy who is sort of like a cadi sitting under a tree ruling as to whether people ought to be spared the penalties of their crimes,
