speed to congressman jason smith led the investigation into hunter biden reacting to biden's reversalfor president-elect trump to issue expanded clemency. andrew mccarthy is here now. do you have any concerns, anthony? >> well, i think you will see more pardons. but they will happen before trump gets in. the only sense i can make, sandra, out of the structure of hunter biden's pardon is that president biden has to pardon other people who are involved in what we would call the biden influence peddling scheme that went on so many years. otherwise, the pardon doesn't make sense to me. i can explain reading it if you like. >> sandra: please do appear to the concern obviously for some,t kind of pardons we would see enr a trump pres presidency but thes still time left in this presidency, a&e. >> usually the scandalous pardon happens when a failed president is on his way out the door. and these pardons happened early because they didn't want hunter to get sentenced and conviction entered which would start to happen next week. let me just explain, this pardon is extraordinary and that it give

if that's the case, why did joe biden just issue hunter biden a pardon for the very things we were inquiring about? congressman jasonth wrote this isn't about politics. it is about insuring no one is above the law. we also have brand-new white house reaction from the press secretary now. she just spoke on air force one. let's watch. >> okay, i got two on the pardon. >> can you stick to foreign policy? if not we'll go to somebody else. the president always believes to be truthful to the american people. something that he always truly believes. he said he wrestled with this and because he believes in the justice system but he also believes that the war of politics infected the process and led to a miscarriage of justice. that is his words. >> harris: stick to what you want to talk about or i'll move on to the next question. all right. congresswoman, i want to remind everybody you sit on the subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government. it seems to come into play here. tell us how. >> my blood is boiling just listening to that. as a journalist i know that makes your blood boil, too. having someone spat i

hunter. again reviewers what's wrong with the media. jay con rantz wrote it and he's here now. jasonthey? >> no, they don't. that's the problem here. we're talking about analysts and that's different. that's different. we expect that from msnbc analyst but looking at journalists, they're not supposed to be stenographers for the democrats and the framing was no different than the msnbc partisans and that's pr not journalism. know they've been shown to be complete fools for just simply accepting the word of joe biden that no reasonable person, no reasonable person believed that they're framing in equally disingenuous way and framing it titled biden isn't the first person to pardon a relative. okay? biden pardoned son to defend off more attacks. that's silly and he lied and decided there are in fact some people above the law and this should be very easy for the media to call it out, but they simply refuse. stuart: yeah, they're invested in it. you went to the seattle christmas tree lighting. i know the mayor gave a speech, but seemed completely political. why did he feel the need to pol

jason: turns out that was just more lies. newly uncovered photos obtained by america first legal appeared to show then vice president joe biden meeting with hunter'snese business associates during a 2013 official visit and take a look who is in these other dad and son photos in that same trip? chinese president xi jinping. we're only getting these images now because america first legal sueded national archives and records administration to get them and the release was reportedly delayed until, you know, conveniently after the election. joining me now is florida congressman byron donalds who is also on the oversight committee congressman h. congressman why do we get these votes late and what do they tell you? >> we got them late because it took america first legal suing the national archives. you remember them the same national archives that said for a couple years that donald trump was holding back classified information. they had to sue that national archives just to get access to these photos. and the people blocking these photos, none other than president joe biden and president barack obama. so, in that lawsuit they basically said we will fina

hunter biden, for goodness sake. how is trump going to deal with things differently with china? what's at the top of the agenda? >> happy new year, jasonok, i think you just saw one of president trump's great additions was mike waltz as the new national security adviser. mike's going to be terrific. he's a former green beret. and if between mike waltz and president trump, your not going if to have -- you're not going to have foreign dictators and terrorists pushing america around the way they have the last four years. and if that goes to hamas. the fact that iran and a maas have taken all these -- hamas have taken all these american hostages and on october 7th they killed 40 americans in the attack and have faced no repercussions for it. in fact, we've been paying iran ran many for hostages and doing -- ransom for hostages and doing sanctions relief, and tony blinken's been having tea with the hamas if leaders in doha. that's all going to end when president trump comes into power. what i've said is the hamas if leaders both inside and outside of gaza, if they don't release the american hostages, my guess is they're going to the end up

jason chaffetz, fox news contributor, former republican congressman from utah and former oversight chairman of the oversight committee. great to see you today. that's really the problem. it goes beyond hunteriden. nobody cares about him, not really. you know, wish him well with his drug americans. millions of americans have the same thing. we pray for them, too. that doesn't make everybody a criminal. the president benefits from this wide sweeping pardon. >> there is no way joe biden is going to leave office without pardoning his brother, probably other biden family members because the work of james comer at the oversight committee has exposed this pay to play scheme. they are going to, i think, have many more pardons to come before they actually finish this thing. you have know what? i'm not buying this idea that well, it is a dad. every dad would do that. not every dad would do that. what about a little tough love saying there are consequences for your life. i think part of the problem. my own personal observation, i look at this and say he has never been held to account for anything in his life. he has lived the life of privilege and never had to have any responsibility in his life. he

jason, thanks very much for being here. it's nice to see you. >> good morning. >> so when the when the president elect saw this news about hunter biden's pardon, he wrote this on his truthsocial quote. does the pardon given by joe to hunter include the six hostages who've now been imprisoned for years? such an abuse and miscarriage of justice on the subject of pardons i want i'm curious to know, does president-elect trump plan to pardon all of the people who are incarcerated because of their actions on january 6th? >> yeah. well, casey good morning. so let's go and unpack this a little bit. i think what we saw with joe biden and the hunter pardon really goes to the heart of this politicization of our justice system. what we've seen over the past four years with joe biden and that stance quite frankly, in stark contrast to what we saw under president trump, where president trump did not go after any of his political opponents. that's exactly what happened over this past four years. so let's go and just leave that there. the part of why president trump won by such a big margin. i believe, is because he has pledged to get politics out of governme

hunter were infected by raw politics echo the preside president-elecs argument that the charges brought against trump were also politically motivated. joining us is trump vance transition senior advisor jason great to see you. thank you for being here. walk us through this. obviously much of the charges against president trump have gone away but the hush money case his lawyers want that to go away now as well after hunter biden was pardoned. >> as it should, maria. all of these cases were politically motivated and the american public saw right through this, they saw it was the weaponization of our legal system against president trump. we've never seen something like this in american history. president trump did nothing wrong. i think that was very clearly stated, very clearly made. and so it's right for the president's attorneys to follow up and say this should go away. maria: it's incredible to me there are so many democrat governors and haters out there who are still promising to resist president trump's agenda. >> well, i think they can never be helped but what i would caution them on is the fact that president trump won the popular vote in this election. he put up record numbers in sta

hunter. one senator today called it wrong. another unwise. a third said it erodes americans faith in the justice system is fair and equal for all. congressman jason crow told the new york times the pardon makes it hard for the party in the future to quote, talk about upholding democracy. and both democratic senators from virginia had this to say to reporters on capitol hill i'm disappointed in terms of the signal. >> it sends to faith in our american system. um and i'll leave it at that. >> are you disappointed by the decision? >> yes, i'm disappointed by the decision. he didn't need to tell the american public. i will not do this. and he did. and when you made a promise, you got to keep it. >> president biden issued the pardon sunday night. accompanying it was a brief statement that repeatedly claimed the justice process was politicized. quote i have watched my son being selectively and unfairly prosecuted. it is clear that hunter was treated differently. hunter was singled out only because he is my son and that is wrong. there's no reason to believe it will stop here. enough is enough. he ended the letter this way i hope americans will understa
