pardon all hell to pay boyfriend put in luggage and elton john losing his sight it's all coming up then bill's going to be here with your message of the day but first many democrats speaking out against joe's pardoning of his son hunter congressman from ohio landsman said as a father i get it but as someone who wants people to believe in public service again it's a setback the governor of colorado said i'm disappointed that he put his family ahead of the country the key points of this pardon are first it wasn't just a pardon of a specific crime. It was a pardon on all crimes that he's ever committed, known or unknown, during an 11-year time period this has never been done before.

And also interesting that Joe happened to know the exact time that Hunter's criminal enterprising started January 2014, Hunter joined the Burisma Board in Ukraine for $86,000 a month in April of 2014. The next question is, will Joe pardon himself? Donald Trump said on true social that there will, quote, be all held to pay if the hostages held captive by Hamas are not released before he takes office on January 20th. At least seven of the hostages remaining still by Hamas are American. This was two days after Hamas released a video of an Israeli-American hostage pleading for

his release. He's been a prisoner now for over 420 days. Trump's going to be in France to celebrate the grand opening of Notre Dame Cathedral, his first overseas trip since he won the election. McCrone, President of France, was the first foreign leader to congratulate Trump after his victory. A Florida woman was accused of putting her boyfriend in a suitcase, leaving him inside for hours until he died.

She recorded a video of herself, taunting him, before leaving him inside overnight to suffocate. Her defense was she was suffering from battered spouse syndrome. And she said she thought because he had two fingers stuck out of the suitcase, she thought he could get himself out even though he was on video saying I can't breathe seriously none of those defenses weren't

she was found guilty sentenced to life in prison Elton John has lost his eyesight following an eye infection earlier this year he was at a musical and said I haven't been able to be at many of the previews because as you know I've lost my eyesight so it's hard for me to come see it but I love to hear it he's 77 years old Elton John played at Donald Trump's wedding with Melania

and he was recently asked what he thinks about Donald Trump calling Kim Jong-un rocket man? And Elton Jodd said, I laughed. I thought that was brilliant. I thought, good on you, Donald.

On this Tuesday already, the world is rapidly changing because Donald Trump is heading back to the White House, a ceasefire is imminent in Ukraine, I believe, Iran's economy heading for disaster. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau couldn't get down Mar-A-Lago fast enough, and Mexico will have to cooperate on the border or its economy will collapse. The world knows that President Biden's leadership amounted to almost

nothing as he stumbled around getting little done. No one feared him, few even feigned respect. Outside of immigration and lower prices for consumers, there are too high impact but low visibility problems I hope President Trump will mitigate. First, the massive government spending that threatens every single American's well-being. Mr. Trump has already tasked Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswe. to analyze that. They might start with a half billion taxpayer dollars a year flowing into PBS NPR. That's simply a scandal. What is a taxpayer getting here? Well, how about a cavalcade of left-wing propaganda? Let NPR and PBS compete in the marketplace. The second terrible situation is sugar and food and beverages. It's killing millions of Americans.

Bobby Kennedy Jr. has been put on the case. The Trump administration must force the mammoth food corporations to stop peddling harmful products. The cliche is it's complicated. Well, not so much.

Bill Lally, now Bill did not send a town, but I'm going to read his email anyway, name and town. Come on, Bill. Over the past couple of weeks, I heard you mention Pete Buttigieg's name, not the most glowing terms.

On this day, in the year 1800, the U.S. presidential election ended with an electoral tie. The race was ultimately decided by Congress and led to the murder of one America's Revolutionary War heroes. Here is the story of Thomas Jefferson v. Aaron Burr. At the time, each member of the Electoral College cast two votes, making no distinction between ballots or president and vice president, so opposing parties could be elected together. Jefferson and Burr each received 73 electoral votes in 1800. Under Article 2 of the Constitution, the contest was then sent to the House. Each of the 16 states would cast one vote to pick the next president.

On February 11th, 1801, Jefferson and Burr lobbied Congress with promises of lucrative positions and stuff like that. One week later, lawmakers selected Thomas Jefferson to lead the Young Republic. Alexander Hamilton of New York, the former Treasury Secretary under Washington, played a key role in breaking the deadlock. Final tally was 10 states for Jefferson, four Burr to refuse to vote. The 12th Amendment quickly follow the electoral crisis. Going forward, the college would cast separate votes for president and vice president. But that was in the future. Thomas Jefferson was president and Aaron Bird vice president in 1801.

And they did not like each other. And here's something else you might not know. Hamilton's role in handing the election to Jefferson would eventually lead to his death. Aaron Burr was furious, often claiming the election was stolen from him. A few years later, Burr ran for governor of New York, and Hamilton opposed him there. The two men agreed to a duel to settle the rivalry. On July 11, 1804, Aaron Burr shot and killed. Hamilton in New Jersey. Thomas Jefferson was re-elected president five months later,

but Burr was out completely. Back after this. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.
