British journalist Piers Morgan and liberal streamer and YouTuber Destiny argued Wednesday over President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter, with Destiny questioning what taking the “high moral ground” has gained Democrats.
Since Biden announced Sunday that he had pardoned Hunter, Democrats have had mixed reactions, with some opposing the decision and others supporting it. On “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Destiny argued that Biden’s decision was made in “good prudence” after President-elect Donald Trump tapped Kash Patel as his FBI director, prompting Morgan to call out Destiny’s attitude.
“You seem very phlegmatic about all this, Destiny, but inside you must be hurting. Because what Joe Biden has done with one flick of his pen, he has taken away all the high moral ground that the Democrats could have had against Trump for the next four years,” Morgan said. “Because Trump can now pardon who the hell he likes. He can pardon every January 6 protester, and he can do it in the sure knowledge that the moment people like you go, ‘This is an outrage. How can you do this?’ He goes, ‘You know what? At least they went to prison.’ Hunter Biden didn’t do a day.”
Destiny responded.
“Two of the easiest questions in the world. Piers, one – if he doesn’t pardon Hunter, do you think that influences Trump’s decision at all and who he pardons next?” Destiny asked. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
