Kosningabaráttan í Bandaríkjunum er í fullum gangi en Bandaríkjamenn kjósa sér nýjan forseta þriðjudaginn 5.nóvember. Nýr verður hann nú reyndar ekki, því þeir tveir sem til greina koma, eins og velflestir vita, heita Donald Trump og Joe Biden. Þetta er í fyrsta sinn í næstum sjötíu ár síðan sömu nöfnin eru á kjörseðlinum tvennar kosningar í röð. Trump var í vikunni sakfelldur í einu af fjórum dómsmálum sem höfðuð voru gegn honum. Ekkert þessara mála er þó talið ógna því að Trump geti orðið forseti, sama hvernig þau fara. Í síðari hluta þáttarins ætlum við að huga að hæstarétti Bandaríkjanna, þessu valdamikla bákni sem reglulega er í fréttum. Hvað er framundan hjá dómstólnum, hvernig er hann mannaður og hvernig hann hefur í gegnum tíðina sveiflast svolítið með og stundum svolítið á móti straumnum og stjórnmálunum og ráðandi öflum hverju sinni. Við skoðum líka sögu réttararins og hvernig hann hefur breyst í tímans rás og hvernig vald þessa dómstóls hefur aukist upp á síðkastið. Þá hafa stjórnmálamenn lagt meiri og meiri áherslu á að koma sínu fólki fyrir í Hæstarétti og flestar ef ekki allar skipanir í réttinn síðustu ár hafa verið mjög umdeildar og eru orðnar eitt helsta þrætueplið í bandarískum stjórnmálum. Við ræðum við Kára Hólmar Ragnarsson, lektor við lagadeild Háskóla Íslands, og Adam Liptak, sem er blaðamaður New York Times og á ekki von á því að dómsmálin dragi mikið úr fylgi Trumps fyrir forsetakosningarnar, en gætu vel gert það, sérstaklega ef hann verði sakfelldur í fleiri en einu máli.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: On Tuesday, the Supreme Court decided to temporarily permit Texas's Senate Bill 4 to take effect. The bill makes it a crime for migrants to illegally enter the United States—allowing for Texas officials to arrest and/or deport anyone who recently entered the state unlawfully. Adam Liptak of The New York Times writes: “The Supreme Court temporarily sided with Texas on Tuesday in its increasingly bitter fight with the Biden administration over immigration policy, allowing an expansive state law to go into effect that makes it a crime for migrants to enter Texas without authorization. As is typical when the court acts on emergency applications, its order gave no reasons. But Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, filed a concurring opinion that seemed to express the majority's bottom line. They were returning the case to an appeals court for a prompt ruling on whether the law should be paused while an appeal moves forward, Justice Barrett wrote. ‘If a decision does not issue soon,' she wrote, ‘the applicants may return to this court.' The three liberal members of the court—Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor—dissented.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/us/supreme-court-texas-immigration.html What is Texas State Bill 4? Maria Mendez of The Texas Tribune writes that the “law would make it a state crime to cross the Texas-Mexico border between ports of entry. If a police officer has probable cause to believe a person illegally crossed the Rio Grande, that person could be charged with a Class B misdemeanor, which carries a punishment of up to six months in jail. For subsequent offenses, the person could be charged with a second-degree felony and face up to 20 years in prison. If the migrant is convicted and has served their sentence, a judge would be required to order police to transport them to a port of entry. A judge could drop the charges if a migrant agrees to return to Mexico, and police could turn over migrant families to Border Patrol agents to avoid separating children from their parents instead of arresting them.” You can read Menendez's full report here: https://www.texastribune.org/2024/03/18/texas-sb-4-immigration-arrest-law/ Craig Rucker—President of The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a lawsuit his organization, alongside The Heartland Institute, recently filed against the Biden Administration “seeking to overturn their approval of Dominion Energy's plans to start construction of a massive offshore wind project off Virginia that ignores the obvious harm of the endangered North Atlantic right whale.

Democrats and dishonest members of the media took the statement out of context—instead suggesting that Trump had openly called for a “bloodbath”, or a massacre, should he lose. A selectively trimmed nine-second clip was reposted by numerous social media accounts belonging to members of the political left, including: Biden-Harris HQ and Joe Scarborough (who quickly deleted his post). The strategically edited audio inaccurately makes it appear as though Trump is calling for violence. On Monday, morning shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC all promoted the fake narrative as well. 4:10pm- While appearing on Fox News with Jesse Watters, independent journalist Michael Shellenberger warned that progressives, as well as members of the media, have focused on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's “bloodbath” comments as an excuse to censor Trump and his supporters—labeling them collectively as a “violent threat to democracy.” 4:25pm- In a new “opinion video” for The New York Times, journalists Adam Westbrook and Lindsay Crouse attempted to debunk the idea that the deep state is a threat to American civil liberties—and they did so by traveling to Huntsville, Alabama?

Musk noted that this was likely a violation of the Freedom of Information Act. 5:15pm- Did The New York Times just admit that Republicans were right about COVID-19 lockdowns? The Daily Wire News writes: “An analysis piece from The New York Times this week admitted that Republicans by and large were correct—and Democrats were wrong—about policies that kept children out of school during the coronavirus pandemic. The report said that today there is ‘broad acknowledgment among many public health and education experts that extended school closures did not significantly stop the spread of Covid, while the academic harms for children have been large and long-lasting.'” You can read more here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-times-republicans-were-right-about-pandemic-school-policy-democrats-were-wrong 5:20pm- In a new “opinion video” for The New York Times, journalists Adam Westbrook and Lindsay Crouse attempted to debunk the idea that the deep state is a threat to American civil liberties—and they did so by traveling to Huntsville, Alabama?

You can watch the video here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/opinion/trump-deep-state.html 5:40pm- Ben Schreckinger of Politico reports: “Prosecutors said a business associate of Jim Biden conspired to defraud Medicare alongside an alleged leader of the Colombo crime family in a brief filed Friday in federal court in New Jersey. The government's accusation is likely to intensify scrutiny of the ties between President Joe Biden's brother and the associate, Mississippi businessman Keaton Langston. The Justice Department named Langston as a co-conspirator in the ongoing fraud case just three weeks after congressional investigators grilled Jim Biden about his relationship with the Mississippi businessman. In the course of a previous prosecution, the Justice Department identified a defendant in the fraud case, Florida businessman Thomas Farese, as a high-ranking member of the Colombo crime family, according to court filings.” You can read the full report here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/18/doj-jim-biden-associate-mafia-boss-00147626 5:50pm- While answering questions from the press aboard Air Force One, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre confirmed that President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama speak with one another often. 6:05pm- Zack Smith—Legal Fellow and Manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to temporarily permit Texas's Senate Bill 4 to take effect. The bill makes it a crime for migrants to illegally enter the United States and allows for Texas officials to arrest and/or deport anyone who recently entered the state unlawfully. 6:15pm- On Monday “The Don Lemon Show” released its first episode—which included a long-form interview with billionaire Elon Musk. During the conversation, Lemon accused Musk of inaccurately claiming undocumented migrants can alter election outcomes. Musk then explained that undocumented migrants are counted in the census which can result in blue states receiving greater representation in the House of Representatives. 6:30pm- On Tuesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Former U.S. Central Command Commander General Kenneth McKenzie and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General Mark Milley both testified that there was a severe lack of coordination. Gen. Milley conceded: “I'll be candid. I don't know the exact number of Americans that were left behind” in Afghanistan. 6:50pm- In a recent interview Leslye Headland, writer/producer of the upcoming series “Star Wars: The Acolyte,” explained that one of her goals for the Star Wars franchise is to make it more inclusive. Last year Disney announced a new director for its Star Wars film franchise—Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Obaid-Chinoy has won two Academy Awards for short-films examining injustice in Pakistan, but does that make her the ideal selection for a sci-fi franchise? Obaid-Chinoy said that her goal as a filmmaker has been to “make men uncomfortable,” but aren't most Star Wars fans just looking for an enjoyable two-hour movie? Is Disney destroying the Star Wars franchise?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/27/2024): 3:05pm- Michigan will hold its Republican and Democrat primaries today. Donald Trump currently leads Nikki Haley for the Republican nomination with 110 delegates to 20. Steven Shepard of Politico writes about Haley's uphill battle: “In Tuesday's Michigan primary, say Haley actually wins her first state and gets a majority of the delegates awarded, seven of 13. But the bulk of Michigan's delegates, 39, will actually be awarded next weekend at a state convention, where Trump is expected to romp with the party insiders.” You can read more here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/25/haley-path-nomination-impossible-00143205 3:10pm- On Saturday, South Carolina held its Republican presidential primary—with Donald Trump defeating Nikki Haley 60% to 40%. Despite the loss, Haley told supporters that she will remain in the race at least through Super Tuesday on March 5th. According to Politico's calculations, Trump will likely accumulate 1,215+ delegates by March 19th—reaching a majority of the Republican party's delegates and officially becoming the presumptive nominee. 3:15pm- A CPAC straw poll asked conference attendees who they would like to see Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump select to be his Vice President. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy both received 15% of the vote. Former U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard finished third—receiving 9% of the vote. You can see the full results here: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68388154 3:20pm- Henry Rodgers of The Daily Caller writes that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem—a rumored Vice President contender—visited Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. You can read the full report here: https://dailycaller.com/2024/02/26/kristi-noem-donald-trump-meeting-mar-a-lago-vice-president/ 3:25pm- During a recent town hall meeting, New York City Mayor Eric Adams stated that it's time for NYC to rethink and modify its sanctuary city policy—which will, ideally, make it easier to remove undocumented migrants from residing in the city. 3:30pm- FLASHBACK: During his 1995 State of the Union address, President Bill Clinton called for the U.S. government to deport migrants who entered the country unlawfully. Perhaps surprisingly, he received a bipartisan round of applause for the declaration. When did Democrats become so radicalized on border security and migration policy? 3:40pm- On Tuesday, Nathan Wade's former divorce lawyer Terrence Bradley testified in a hearing to determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the Georgia election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump. According to allegations, Willis engaged in an improper, romantic relationship with the lead prosecutor of the case, Wade—paying him an estimated $650,000 in taxpayer money. Willis is also alleged to have directly derived financial benefit from the relationship with Wade in the form of several extravagant vacations. During a court hearing from earlier this month, Robin Yeartie—a longtime friend of Willis—testified that Willis and Wade had a romantic relationship dating back to 2019. 4:05pm- Jonah E. Bromwich, Ben Protess, and William K. Rashbaum of The New York Times write: “Manhattan prosecutors on Monday asked the judge overseeing their criminal case against Donald J. Trump to prohibit the former president from attacking witnesses or exposing jurors' identities… The gag order in the Manhattan case, if the judge approves it, would bar Mr. Trump from ‘making or directing others to make' statements about witnesses concerning their role in the case. The district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, also asked that Mr. Trump be barred from commenting on prosecutors on the case…The Manhattan criminal case was the first of Mr. Trump's four indictments to be filed and is scheduled to go to trial on March 25. Last year, the district attorney's office accused Mr. Trump of 34 felonies, saying he had orchestrated a cover-up of a potential sex scandal with a porn star that could have hindered his 2016 presidential campaign… Mr. Bragg has cast Mr. Trump's actions as election interference, arguing that the cover-up led to the withholding of important information from voters shortly before they headed to the polls.” Rich notes, who exactly was victimized by these payments? Voters can't truly be considered impacted, as Trump didn't win New York in 2016 or 2020 anyway. You can read the full New York Times' article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/26/nyregion/trump-gag-order-hush-money-trial.html 4:30pm- On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in two cases (Moody v. NetChoice LLC. and NetChoice, LLC v. Paxton) which will determine whether social media companies are permitted to engage in politically based content moderation—or if this amounts to a form of censorship. But shouldn't private companies be permitted to act autonomously without government compulsion? 4:40pm- Adam Liptak of The New York Times writes: “The Supreme Court seemed skeptical on Monday of laws in Florida and Texas that bar major social media companies from making editorial judgments about which messages to allow. The laws were enacted in an effort to shield conservative voices on the sites, but a decision by the court, expected by June, will almost certainly be its most important statement on the scope of the First Amendment in the internet era, with broad political and economic implications. A ruling that tech platforms have no editorial discretion to decide which posts to allow would expose users to a greater variety of viewpoints but almost certainly amplify the ugliest aspects of the digital age, including hate speech and disinformation. Though a ruling in favor of big platforms like Facebook and YouTube appeared likely, the court also seemed poised to return the cases to the lower courts to answer questions about how the laws apply to sites that do not seem to moderate their users' speech in the same way, like Gmail, Venmo, Uber and Etsy.” You can read Liptak's full breakdown here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/26/us/politics/supreme-court-social-media-texas-florida.html 5:00pm- Tracey Tully and Patrick McGeehan of The New York Times write: “A year ago, Gov. Philip D. Murphy of New Jersey spoke proudly about his plan to let a corporate business tax expire, framing it as a promise kept in a state striving to compete for entrepreneurs… On Tuesday, Mr. Murphy will propose reversing course and again implementing a corporate business tax of 11.5 percent—the nation's highest rate—for the state's most profitable companies, according to several of his aides. He is expected to present the restoration of the tax as part of a permanent solution to the dire financial condition of New Jersey's statewide transit system during his annual budget address at the State House.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/27/nyregion/new-jersey-transit-taxes.html?searchResultPosition=1 5:20pm- According to a recent poll from Rasmussen, a whopping 48% of Democrat voters say they would like to see Joe Biden replaced as the party's presidential candidate in 2024. Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and former First Lady Michelle Obama were all listed as potential replacements. 5:40pm- Gregg Opelka—Contributor for The Daily Caller (and brother of America's fill-in host Mike Opelka)—joins the The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “Fiddler on the Roof—Brought to You By the Woke State Department.” You can read the full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2024/02/26/tevye-fiddler-on-the-roof-broadway-blinken-pronouns-gender-identity/ 6:05pm- Adam Entous and Michael Schwirtz of The New York Times write: “Now entering the third year of a war that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, the intelligence partnership between Washington and Kyiv is a linchpin of Ukraine's ability to defend itself. The C.I.A. and other American intelligence agencies provide intelligence for targeted missile strikes, track Russian troop movements and help support spy networks… But the partnership is no wartime creation…As the partnership deepened after 2016, the Ukrainians became impatient with what they considered Washington's undue caution, and began staging assassinations and other lethal operations, which violated the terms the White House thought the Ukrainians had agreed to. Infuriated, officials in Washington threatened to cut off support, but they never did.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/cia-ukraine-intelligence-russia-war.html 6:30pm- In a piece published by The Atlantic, former New York Times opinion editor Adam Rubenstein recalled how he was once reprimanded by NYT human resources for telling co-workers his favorite sandwich was from Chick-fil-A. Rubenstein was informed that dining at the restaurant chain is considered offensive because “they hate gay people.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/02/tom-cotton-new-york-times/677546/

Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire writes: “The CIA has a term called “limited hangout.” This is a tactic where some small portion of the truth is made public while the most important details—the stuff that really matters—is kept hidden. Intelligence agencies do this in hopes that the stuff they release will satisfy everyone's curiosity and they'll stop asking questions. These Epstein files appear to be exactly that. This is a limited hangout. A diversion meant to satisfy you without actually telling you what you need to know. They want you to stop asking questions. Don't fall for it.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-epstein-files-are-released-but-the-cover-up-continues 3:15pm- President Joe Biden has released his first campaign ad of the 2024 presidential election cycle—purposefully timed to release on the 3-year anniversary of the January 6th riots at the U.S. Capitol. Unsurprisingly, the Biden campaign team uses the thirty-second advertisement to paint Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his supporters as a threat to the country. 3:30pm- On Friday, from Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden gave a speech commemorating the third anniversary of the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol. The speech, much like his recently released campaign advertisement, portrayed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his supporters as a threat to the United States—accusing the former president of refusing to denounce political violence, and in fact, actively encouraging it while adopting rhetoric similar to Nazi Germany. 4:05pm- Listeners react to President Joe Biden's speech from Blue Bell, Pennsylvania on the third anniversary of the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol. As some callers note, Biden spent the vast majority of his speech demonizing former President Donald Trump and Trump supporters—though, Biden failed to lay out his own vision for America's future. 4:10pm- During his speech on Friday, President Joe Biden concluded by calling for unity—though, the vast majority of his speech consisted of him attacking Republicans. 4:30pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest op-ed at Fox News, “The Houthi Are a Foreign Terrorist Organization, and Here's What Biden-Blinken Team Should Do About It.” You can read the editorial here: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/houthi-foreign-terrorist-organization-what-biden-blinken-team-do-about-it.

Trump is ineligible for Colorado's Republican primary ballot because he had engaged in insurrection in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Mays of The New York Times write: “Hundreds of migrants bound for New York City took a detour in New Jersey over the holiday weekend, in an apparent attempt to bypass a city order that seeks to limit the chaotic flow of arrivals…The surge in New Jersey arrivals appears to be an end-run around an emergency executive order last week by New York City's mayor, Eric Adams, requiring charter bus companies to provide 32 hours' advance notice of the arrival of migrants and restricting the times of day when they can be dropped off.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/01/nyregion/ny-nj-migrants-buses.html
