Megyn Kelly opens the show discussing her Thanksgiving break and transitions into a critical commentary on President Biden's recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. She expresses disbelief at the left's shock over the pardon, asserting that it was widely anticipated. Kelly accuses Biden of lying about his intentions, stating that he has a history of dishonesty and that the pardon is indicative of a larger issue involving the Biden family and alleged corruption.
The discussion then shifts to the timeline of Hunter Biden's involvement with Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, and the implications of the pardon, which retroactively covers alleged crimes dating back to 2014. Kelly questions whether this action will influence public perception of Biden and what it means for Trump if he returns to office, particularly regarding the January 6 defendants.
Rich Lowry and Charles CW Cook join the conversation, agreeing that Biden's lies about not pardoning Hunter were evident to those outside the far-left media. They discuss the dishonesty of Biden's statements and the implications of the pardon, emphasizing the disparity in treatment between Hunter Biden and ordinary citizens facing similar legal issues. They highlight the broader narrative of political corruption and the perception of a two-tiered justice system.
Marcia Clark, a well-known prosecutor, later joins the show to discuss her new book, "Trial by Ambush," which examines the case of Barbara Graham, a woman executed in the 1950s for murder. Clark draws parallels between the media treatment of Graham and her own experiences, noting the sensationalism and bias in coverage. She reveals that Graham's trial was marred by prosecutorial misconduct, including the withholding of exculpatory evidence.
The conversation touches on the Menendez brothers' potential release from prison, with Clark expressing skepticism about their chances of being freed. She emphasizes the importance of fair trials and the consequences of media narratives on public perception and justice.
As the show wraps up, Kelly and Clark briefly discuss the implications of Biden's pardon for Hunter and the broader issues of justice and accountability in the political landscape. Clark humorously declines a hypothetical political run, underscoring the challenges of navigating the current political climate.
