Look, we witnessed something this week that Joe Biden repeatedly told the American people he would never do. He preemptively pardoned members of his own family, five of them. This comes after he did something else he swore he wouldn't do, pardon his own son, Hunter. So first, we hear the term unprecedented thrown around a lot, especially this last year. Is this indeed unprecedented?

You had assumed so. Now, we've covered the Hunter pardon at length here. In fact, we had you on to talk about it at one point. We now have five more members of the Biden family. And again, like you said, these are preemptive pardons, so different in kind. First, who exactly did he grant this blanket immunity to?

Yeah, pretty revealing. Had these particular members, had their names come up in investigations or claims by members of Congress?

Now, you've been documenting for years the allegations of Biden family corruption. What is some of the more compelling evidence against them?

Now, you've been documenting for years the allegations of Biden family corruption. What is some of the more compelling evidence against them?

Right. Now you bring up investigations. First of all, are Biden's family members now truly immune from all charges that have any connection to this? And then can Congress still investigate them? Does this block actual thorough investigations?

There's been a lot made of Trump coming in supposedly with retribution on his mind. But this argument that we're maybe exposed to national security risks from foreign entities that might have their hands in the pockets of people that have a lot of power, I would think that argument would ultimately win the day. You've mentioned maybe that these preemptive pardons might just collapse legally.

Is there any other way to override or work around a presidential pardon of this nature?
