while trump claims he is returning to the white house with a political mandate, many of his staffingen rejected by voters. the people of arizona voted against kari lake twice. first for governor and then for the senate. now trump wants her to run the voice of america. dr. oz failed in his bid to represent pennsylvania in the senate two years ago. now he is being put in charge of medicare and medicaid. trump has found jobs in his administration for pretty much every failed senate candidate. david purdue, most unbelievably, herschel walker to be ambassador to the bahamas. it might seem surprising that the man who promised america would become tired of winning assembling a team of proven losers but trump isn't looking for competence and successful managers. he is seeking blind loyalty from team members who are completely reliant on him. a more confident leader might choose to surround themselves with other extraordinary people. but trump seems more comfortable around folks who couldn't hack it on their own. america deserves better than an administration of all rans but the stench of def

steven khoi young, who president elect trump recently picked to run the trump white house communications team, issued a statement saying in part, quote, that system of justice must be fixed and due process must be restored for all americans, which is exactly what president trump will do as he returns to the white house with an overwhelming mandate from the american people. today, hunter biden's attorney says the president's pardon of his client is fair, and he said the case is against hunter biden. were politically motivated. hunter was pursued by a special counsel and coming on the heels of the week after the other special counsel dismissed his cases against president trump. it's only fair that i think hunter should have had his cases either dismissed or, in this case, pardoned. so i think what's good for the goose is good for the gander. joining us with some perspective now is our political analyst larry gerston. so larry, a one evy for the president. he was adamant that he was not going to pardon his son hunter, but he says the justice system was basically politicized and it affected
