John and Gordy are eager to be back in the studio after the long Thanksgiving break. John immediately gets heated talking about Hunter Biden's pardon, comparing it to all the political pardons that Trump did. We get a recap of everyone's Thanksgiving, then finally get into the National Day Calendar, along with a look at the history books with Sam. Later, in Idiocracy, the guys talk Kash Patel's plan to go after media companies (!) then take another look back at history, discussing the 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariff, how it didn't work, and won't this time around. Closing out, we get into the story of Elon Musk doxing federal employees that he plans to fire, and talk violence, propagated and normalized by MAGAs.
