Now. This is the FCB podcast Network. Just Listen to Yourself presents Davis Hunter. Biden has been convicted on federal gun violations. He could face up to twenty five years in jail and nearly a million dollars in fines, although it is very likely he won't be subjected to the maximum penalties. His father, Joe Biden, has promised he will not use the power of his office to pardon his son. I believe this is the right thing to say as the sitting president, and it will be the right thing to do if we ever get to see him fulfill this pledge. But as a mother myself, I can't help but wonder politics aside. What would I do I have to say? If I'm being as objective as possible, I don't know if I could let my son go to prison on a charge like this if I had the power to prevent that. It is almost every parent's instinct to protect their child, even when they do wrong. It's a natural instinct that is so strong. If not guarded correctly, it can lead to a perverted type of parenting that dismisses all wrongdoing. You've met these kids before at your child's school or in youth group or just around the neighborhood. They're troublemakers, but they never pay the consequences at home. It's a lost cause trying to get these parents, usually mom to discipline or correct offensive behavior that has hurt someone else. You know that mom is just going to defend her kid, place blame elsewhere, or pretend to be shocked while knowing full well she doesn't plan to do a thing about it. And the children of those parents are never people we enjoy in society at large. They grow into users, narcissists, and social leeches. They aren't the most revered among us. Typically they become the most pitied. Looking at Hunter Biden, it is clear this is how he's been parented his whole life. Obviously, his behavior has been excused, defended, and ignored time and time again by his father and other family members. Combined with the life in the spotlight surrounded by the political swamp, it has turned Hunter Biden into a very distasteful person. To say the least, he deserves to do the time for his crime, but even still, it wouldn't shock me if his father pardoned him, and I don't think I could blame him. Parental love is a strange and strong force. It must be tempered with a reverence for the mission of parenting. Preparing your child to navigate and serve a world that won't include you one day. It's a daunting task that requires incredible amounts of self control, and parents with no self control often end up raising their own hunter Biden's. But whether you're a weak parent or a strong one, the depth of love one has for their own child is universal and should not be underestimated. Where President Biden a strong man, he would stick to his promise of letting his son suffer the consequences of his conviction. But President Biden is not a strong man. He is very weak, certainly physically, but most definitely morally as well. I will not be surprised if he chooses to somehow lift the penalties of his son's behavior. It would be a disappointing move for the president of the greatest country on Earth, but still completely understandable. I'm not sure I wouldn't do the same, but I'm never going to be president, so thankfully I'll never find out. I'm Kira Davis, and I'm just saying this has been a presentation of the FCB podcast Network where Real Talk lives. Visitors online at fcbpodcasts dot com.
