Summary

President Biden claimed on numerous occasions he would not pardon his son, Hunter Biden. Then, news broke Sunday evening that the President would in fact issue a pardon to his son, shielding him from any consequences for federal crimes he may have committed in the past eleven years. Both Democrats and Republicans are not happy with the news, saying it sets an unwanted precedent. FOX News Contributor and GWU Law Professor Jonathan Turley breaks down what this means for the Biden family and how this impacts President-elect Trump's plan to pardon those who participated in the January 6th Capitol Insurrection. Worry grows in the Middle East as Syria, a hotbed for conflict for the past 15 years, comes to the forefront yet again as rebel groups have captured the nation's second largest city, Aleppo. The rebel groups say that they are looking to form a new government by overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad, leading neighboring states to raise the alarm as spillover becomes a possibility. FOX News Contributor and retired CIA Station Chief Dan Hoffman joins the podcast to discuss the history of rebel conflicts in the country, how the infighting impacts neighboring nations, and how US policy has impacted the region. Plus, commentary by columnist David Marcus. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
