Well, hello, everyone. I'm Kennedy, along with Lisa Booth, Paul Morrow, Jillian Turner, and Jimmy Phala.

It is 5 o'clock in New York City, and this is the 5.

Well, it's going to be one awkward Christmas dinner when someone's gumming their figgy pudding.

Hunter Biden, not holding back, taking swings at his own dad's presidency in a new five-and-a-half-hour interview. The former first son saying the border mess and disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal,

we're all Joe's fault.

We need a vibrant immigration,

but we don't want immigrants that are coming here illegally,

draining us of resources and also being prioritized above people that are actual literal heroes

that are coming home that are still recovering from 20 years of endless war or anybody else

in our society.

I think one of the failures was the way

in which they executed the withdrawal from Afghanistan. I think it was an obvious failure.

My dad always knew this also, is that the bug stops with him. I think that that was a failure.

All right. All he's missing is a little red cap. Hunter's starting to sound an awful

lot like a Republican and less like a Democrat. I don't even know if I'm a Democrat anymore. I don't know if I'm part of any political because it's just like, you know, pox on all your houses, in my opinion. But not that you shouldn't engage in the political process. It's like I'm just talking about the parties. I think it's like imperative that we don't give up on politics as a solution. We got it. Because what's the alternative? Well, let me clear out my next five and a half hours. And then Hunter turns to his own pardon, saying it made him the face of elite nepotism. And he's not happy about it. It's fucked up.

Yeah.

It's fucked up and that I, you know, like that my dad gave me a pardon.

You don't think that that like really makes me like feel like, like I'm the poster boy for that.

I'm the poster boy for, you know, the elite son of the president who got a, who got something nobody else could possibly ever get,

simply by the fact of his birth, no matter how much he fucked up, he got, he got away with it.

Yes, I think that that would be a valid response.

So is Hunter saying that he did not have access to his father or the auto pen in order to preemptively turn down the pardon? I mean, I don't know where to start with this, right? Five and a half hour. I guess that answers the question of whose blow is in the White House, right? Five and a half hours this guy just did? I mean how is? Now he's shoveling dirt onto his dad at this point. I mean, this strikes me as what happens when a child star's voice breaks, right? And then starts auditioning for adult roles and nobody wants them because this is an audition. He's talking about the fact that he doesn't want anything to do with politics. Yeah, well, politics wants nothing to do with you either, pal. The reason that he's doing it, in my estimation, is he's broke. He missed out, $15 million, he says, and not for nothing. Every time I see him on TV or anyplace else, he's on a beach someplace exotic. So I should be so broke. But anyway, the guy is very clearly trying to advocate for some sort of media job, right?
