So this is January 6th.

These are the hostages.

Approximately 1,500 for a pardon.

Yes.

Full pardon.

We hope they come out tonight, frankly.

They're expecting it.

Approximately 1,500 people.

Six commutations.

Were there any cases you did not commute or pardon?

We're looking at different things, but the commutations would be the ones that we'll take a look

and maybe it'll stay that way or it'll go to, you know, full pardon.

That was President Trump last night in the Oval Office, announcing pardons for people connected with the January 6th Capitol attack.

That is, despite previously saying, he would consider pardons and commutations on a case-by-case basis.

And hearing condemnations from his Vice President, J.D. Vance, and his nominee for Attorney General

Pam Bondi of those who committed violent acts. Also ahead, we're going to sort through the

dozens of executive orders the president signed yesterday, focusing on the ones that could have

a significant impact versus others that appear to be just for the base.

Good morning and welcome to Morning Joe.

It is Tuesday, January 21st.

Along with Joe Willie and me, we have the co-host of our fourth hour, Jonathan Lemire.

He's a contributing writer at the Atlantic covering the White House and national politics.
