10:27Now PlayingBrian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose Trump's unprecedented pardon spree, having granted clemency to over 1,600 individuals in less than a year. The hosts highlight shocking examples including Daniel Edwin Wilson, an Oath Keeper who received a second pardon for possessing six unregistered firearms and 4,800 rounds of ammunition, and crypto billionaire Changpeng Zhao (CZ), who pleaded guilty to money laundering yet whose company does business with Trump's family crypto venture—despite Trump claiming "I don't know who he is." Brian emphasizes these pardons send the wrong message, rewarding white-collar criminals and political loyalists while ignoring people serving draconian sentences for minor drug offenses. Trump's pardons violated Justice Department policies requiring remorse and restitution, eliminating $1.3 billion owed to victims. The hosts note the hypocrisy of the "law and order" president pardoning insurrectionists, fraudsters, and criminals who often re-offend after release.
