Trump spent portions of the interview expressing dismay over Biden's decision to issue preemptive pardons to some of the Democrat's family members and some of the Republican president's political enemies. As their time came to a close, the Fox News host told Trump 'let me get to the economy' and 'I'm running out of time.' 'I don't care,' the new president responded. He then turned back to bashing Biden's decision-making skills, including the ex-president's decision not to pardon himself. 'This is more important because right now the economy is going to do great. I'm here, so the economy - but you have to understand, he had bad advisers on almost everything,' Trump said of Biden. Hannity interjected saying he was being yelled at for time - but Trump kept going. 'It's like in the old days when the secretary of State said he never made a correct decision on foreign policy,' Trump said, meaning to quote a former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Over the course of Hannity's hour-long program, Trump also hinted at another government agency he wanted to scrap and revealed the latest on the JFK assassination files. But the issue of pardons was front-and-center. In a clip shared earlier Wednesday by Fox, Trump is heard giving a cryptic warning about Biden making a mistake in not pardoning himself. Trump repeated that point several times during the full interview with Hannity. 'The precedent that he set on pardons is amazing. That's a much bigger story but people don't like talking about it. He pardoned everybody,' Trump said. 'But he didn't pardon himself.' 'Remember this, those people that he pardoned are now mandated, because they got a pardon, to testify and they can't take the Fifth,' Trump claimed. Hannity asked Trump if he would like to see Congress investigate Biden's pardons. House Speaker Mike Johnson already expressed openness to that. 'I think we'll let Congress decide,' Trump said. When talking about disaster relief, Trump suggested that he'd be open to killing FEMA - the Federal Emergency Management Agency. 'All it does is just complicate everything,' he complained. 'FEMA has not done their job for the last four years.' 'Unless you have certain types of leadership, it gets in the way. And FEMA is going to be a whole big discussion very shortly because I'd rather see the states take care of their own problems,' Trump said. He then spoke glowingly of Oklahoma's 'very competent' disaster response - and how the state voted for him in the last election. | |

| #3 /\ He and Hunter understood the Clinton model of "money Laundering." They applied it at every opportunity. |

| #2 For Biden, FEMA was just a money laundering operation to fund blue states deficits and the invasion. |
