Hey, everybody. Welcome to the McCrick podcast. I'm J.G. It's X-D. I'm here with my good friend and co-host Nick Alasman. Nick, how we doing? How's Los Angeles?

Los Angeles is okay. Luckily today, thankfully today, the fires are, you know, not spreading as far as they were fastly as they did before.

So things seem to be getting better. The wind had died down. But it will kick up again later on today, tonight.

And that's the big worry.

So we're, you know, we're hanging in there.

Well, we'll be thinking about you and our listeners in the Southern California area.

A reminder, go over to patreon.com slash McCrack Podcast, support the show, keep us editorially independent and growing and also gain

access to the weekend or edition on Fridays. Nick, we have been talking for a while now that

prior to Trump's inauguration, which will take place next Monday on January 20th, that we were going

to do a retrospective on the Biden presidency in order to talk about the wins,

the losses, and ultimately the legacy, how history will view Biden and how history should

view Biden. So before we get into the actual presidency, going through the ups and the downs,

what are your thoughts now that we are officially one week out?

We've got confirmation hearings going.

You know, it already feels like things are in place for Trump, that thing, that he's going

to hit the ground running very, very quickly.

They've got plans that are going to be carried out.

How are you feeling now in the last week of the Biden presidency?

Not great, Bob.

Really, you know, his legacy, no matter what the numbers are and how you crunch all those things,

will ultimately be of a, I'm not sure we can call it like a failed presidency,

but they're going to throw it on the same funeral pyre as they would Carter's presidency.
