CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings couldn’t contain his reaction when a fellow panelist suggested that President Joe Biden had felt it necessary to pardon embattled son Hunter Biden because President-elect Donald Trump was “talking about firing squads.” Social media host Leigh McGowan first made the argument that President Biden did when he offered his son a sweeping pardon — which covered any and all federal crimes, those charged and those potentially not yet uncovered, over the course of 11 years — saying that his own Justice Department had somehow engaged in political prosecution targeting his son. When Jennings made it clear that he was not buying that, McGowan pivoted to claim that Biden may have reasonably thought that his son was at risk — even physically.

That it was always a political witch hunt …” Host Abby Phillip stopped her, noting that Jennings’ point had been that the Biden administration had lied when multiple people claimed dozens of times that there was no plan for the president to pardon his son.

We now have a president coming into office who’s talking about firing squads, who’s talking about running people around the country and making sure everyone who’s his enemy is going to be punished …” Immediately after McGowan mentioned the “firing squads,” the camera panned to Jennings, whose exaggerated eye roll quickly — and for good reason — went viral. “Jennings perfectly captures how we all feel listening to Leigh McGowan,” one posted.

New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams strongly defended 26-year-old former U.S. Marine Daniel Penny, who’s been charged in the death of Jordan Neely. Penny restrained Neely, a troubled man with a lengthy criminal record and a history of mental health issues, after Neely allegedly threatened passengers on a subway last year. “We’re now on the subway where we’re hearing someone talking about hurting people, killing people,” Adams said, referring to Neely’s alleged threatening behavior. “You have someone [Penny] on that subway who was responding, doing what we should have done as a city.” “Those passengers were afraid,” Adams emphasized, speaking to former New York gubernatorial candidate and radio host Rob Astorino.  The mayor also referenced the mental health crisis in NYC. “Then you look at the complete failure of our mental health system, a complete failure from the days of closing psychiatric wards and having those who needed help just turned over into the street without giving any safety net to accept them.”  In 2022, Adams faced criticism from the far-Left when he announced a plan to hospitalize some severely mentally ill people involuntarily, noting the city’s “moral obligation to act.” Adams also accused the media of downplaying Neely’s alleged threatening behavior by promoting photos of a youthful Neely working as a Michael Jackson impersonator. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “Look at the photo that they used to show the victim,” Adams said, “It seemed like it was a young innocent child who was brutally murdered, and it gave that impression when you look at the photo that was being used. It wanted to set up in the minds of people that we were dealing with a young innocent child that was, you know, just a Michael Jackson [impersonator].” Neely, however, has a criminal record and a history of mental health issues. According to several witnesses, he threatened the subway train and made it clear he was willing to die or go to prison for life, if necessary. It was also found that Neely had K2 and other drugs in his system when he died. K2 is a synthetic drug, sometimes called “spice,” which has been linked to psychosis. Penny has been charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in Neely’s death and could face up to 15 years behind bars. Jury deliberations in the case are expected to start Tuesday. Related: Closing Arguments In Daniel Penny Trial: Prosecution Claims Racial Bias, Defense Defends Heroism

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said early Wednesday morning local time that he has lifted the “emergency martial law” decree that he signed into effect just six hours earlier. “I declared emergency martial law at 11 p.m. last night as an act of national resolve against the anti-state forces that are trying to paralyze the essential functions of the state and disrupt the constitutional order of our liberal democracy,” he said in a statement. “However, a short time ago, the National Assembly demanded that martial law be lifted, so I withdrew the military forces that had been deployed to carry out martial law,” he continued, “I will lift martial law as soon as we have a quorum in the cabinet. It’s early in the morning, so we don’t have a quorum yet.” Yoon’s decision to end the martial came after 190 members of South Korea’s 300 National Assembly members quickly gathered for an emergency session in which all 190 voted to block the move. He called on the National Assembly to “immediately stop the outrageous behavior that is paralyzing the functioning of the country with impeachments, legislative manipulation and budget manipulation.” The decree from Yoon, who has seen his approval ratings plummet in recent months, comes after the country ended its military dictatorship in the 1980s. The New York Times noted that the conservative president won his election by campaigning on being tougher toward North Korea and calling for strengthening the country’s alliance with the U.S. Yoon declared martial law in an attempt to bring an end to the paralysis in operating the government that was caused by the National Assembly being won by the opposing party, the country’s Democratic Party, earlier this year. In his speech announcing the martial law, Yoon said that the political opposition inside the country had paralyzed the government’s ability to operate by initiating 22 impeachment proceedings against government officials over the last six months in addition to nearly a dozen more that were planned. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “This is a situation that is not only unprecedented in any country in the world, but has never been seen since the founding of our country,” he said late on Tuesday night local time. “It is paralyzing the judiciary by intimidating judges and impeaching a number of prosecutors, and it is paralyzing the executive branch by trying to impeach the Minister of the Interior, the Chairman of the Communications Commission, the Chair of the Board of Audit, and the Defense Minister.” He said that the country’s security was being weakened by members of the National Assembly who had “undermined the essential functions of the state” by cutting key measures from the country’s national budget. He added that the country’s Democratic Party had a “legislative dictatorship” that it was using “as a means of political struggle.” He said the National Assembly had turned into a “den of criminals” that was committing “obvious anti-state act[s]” and plotting “insurrection.” Yoon said martial law was needed “to defend the free Republic of Korea from the threats of North Korean communist forces and to eradicate the shameless pro-North Korean anti-state forces that are plundering the freedom and happiness of our people and to protect the free constitutional order.” CNN said that the South Korean public was upset over the way Yoon handled a tragedy after he was elected when more than 150 people were crushed to death at a Halloween party. The report said there was also a controversy involving a designer handbag that his wife, Kim Keon See, was accused of accepting valued at more than the $750 limit.

The managers of the official X account for the House Ways and Means Committee Democrats quickly deleted a post on Tuesday that mocked Americans for complaining about the economy and inflation. The Democrats’ account reposted a report on shoppers spending a record amount of money on Black Friday. The Ways and Means Committee commented on the report, “And here we were thinking y’all couldn’t afford eggs!” This appears to have been deleted by Ways and Means Committee Democrats. pic.twitter.com/70Ium9sDpe — Anthony Adragna (@AnthonyAdragna) December 3, 2024 Social media users blasted the Ways and Means Committee Democrats for the post dismissing concerns about the economy less than a month after the party was dealt a major electoral defeat, largely due to how Americans view the economy under President Joe Biden. In three years under Biden, egg prices spiked 52.6% in the U.S., Fox Business reported in March. “As I said it’s built into their DNA to blame voters for rejecting them, as opposed to self reflection of their message and policies. They won’t change because they can’t change,” wrote political commentator Stephen L. Miller. “They never learn,” said House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN). House Republican Claudia Tenney of New York, who sits on the Ways and Means Committee, penned a Humpty Dumpty poem criticizing her Democratic colleagues for the post. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Egg prices soared—he couldn’t afford it all! Ways and Means Dems tweeted with smiles so wide, While the cost of eggs kept rising high! Humpty Dumpty cracked in despair, “These prices, these prices, they’re too much to bear!” Democrats laugh, they don’t seem to care, But we’re stuck paying more for eggs in high-cost despair! Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election placed the economy at the top of the list of issues facing the country, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 110,000 voters across the U.S. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE During the campaign, President-elect Donald Trump focused much of his attention on addressing inflation and economic woes under Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and it paid off. According to the AP VoteCast survey, “Those who said inflation was the most important factor for their vote were almost twice as likely to support Trump over Harris, and about 6 in 10 voters who said the economy and jobs were the most important issue facing the country were in his camp.”
