On this week's Everyday Injustice interview, Chesa Boudin, former San Francisco District Attorney and now Executive Director of the Berkeley Criminal Law and Justice Center, reflects on his experiences in office, the state of criminal justice reform, and his current work at UC Berkeley. Boudin highlights how political power matters more than individual electoral victories. He notes that during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, corporations and politicians rushed to embrace reform, only to later pivot as the political landscape shifted. He emphasizes the importance of long-term organizing to sustain meaningful change. Discussing the reform prosecutor movement, Boudin acknowledges setbacks in California, where he, George Gascón, and Pamela Price faced significant opposition. However, he points out that nationally, many reform-minded prosecutors have remained in office, such as Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and José Garza in Texas, proving that the movement is still active. On homelessness and public safety, Boudin criticizes the criminalization of unhoused people, calling it ineffective and counterproductive. He argues that cities like San Francisco push policies that fail to address the root causes, like skyrocketing housing costs and economic inequality. Now at Berkeley Law, Boudin leads initiatives focused on policy reform, litigation, and research. He discusses a class action lawsuit against CDCR, challenging illegal deductions from the $200 “Gate Money” given to people released from prison. The case underscores systemic failures that make reentry difficult and increase recidivism. Ultimately, Boudin remains committed to reform, advocating for data-driven policies and institutional accountability while training the next generation of legal professionals at UC Berkeley.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Appearing on Fox News with Lawrence Jones, Trump Administration Border Czar Tom Homan revealed that since Donald Trump took office on Monday I.C.E. has arrested over 100 dangerous criminals who entered the country illegally. Rich suspects Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner may not cooperate with federal officials seeking to arrest undocumented migrants deemed a threat to public safety. 6:15pm- Cabinet Confirmation Votes: Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee have stalled Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi's confirmation vote for 7-days. She now has to wait until January 29th. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said he expects the next procedural vote for Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth to be held tomorrow—with the final vote taking place Friday, possibly Saturday morning. John Ratcliffe's vote for CIA Director was supposed to be held Tuesday night but Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) stalled it—demanding a “full debate.” Ratcliffe's confirmation vote will now likely be held tomorrow. 6:30pm- REPLAY: Speaking from the Roosevelt Room of the White House on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump held a press conference announcing OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and several other companies will invest $500 billion to build the nation's artificial intelligence infrastructure. While some are vocally expressing fear that A.I. could lead to a societal downfall, Rich expresses optimism. He notes that its necessary for the U.S. to drive advancements in the critical technological field—as the alternative would be to allow geopolitical rival China to dominate the sphere which would have catastrophic implications for national security.
Today's show opens with a piece by Constitutional Law Professor, Jonathan Turley entitled, “The Final Corruption of Joe Biden.” Turley lays out the case that we've been making here on my show. To give you an idea of the rage and derangement on the Left, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser says she is going to refuse to acknowledge the J6 pardons and will not release the prisoners. On a similar note, Philadelphia DA, Larry Krasner is pushing for state charges for J6 prisoners pardoned by President Trump. The NY Time put out a piece suggesting the labeling drug Cartels as ‘terrorists” could hurt the U.S. Economy. When I say you cannot despise the Legacy/mainstream media enough, this is what I mean. A woke, politicized bigot in robes, a narcissistic Bishop of the Episcopal Church decided the Church no longer has a wall of separation to the state. In the typical condescension exhibited by the Left, she tries to sound so compassionate for those poor unfortunate souls who will never amount to anything. The soft bigotry of low expectation is running at full throttle for Rev. Mariann Budde. We then add some testimony given by Russel Vought for the OMB position. Senator Moreno (R-OH) asked how supporting illegals is a way to support the working class in our own country? This leads to another reminder that the Left has intentionally twisted the 14th Amendment when it comes to U.S. citizenship. So, I bring you the words of both the original author and then the sponsor in the Senate. It could not be more clear that there is no such thing as hopping across the border illegally, plopping a baby on the ground creating an instant U.S. citizen. Now, we have to address the Left with the same stupidity they wield. Apparently, it's all they understand. AOC has been on a holy crusade since Elon Musk made a gesture at a rally. They Left cannot rid themselves of their fixation on Hitler. So, I point out how she has made the exact same gestures in the exact same manner and demand her apology and her resignation. Senator Murphy (D-CT) beclowns himself at the Elise Stefanik hearing by also lying about Elon Musk's gesture. Stefanik brilliantly throws it back in his face. We hit a few more subjects, ending with the pre-mature lawsuits against DOGE and how they are likely all dead on arrival. Seems when people react while in a state of rage, they don't make the best choices. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

In this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Sara dives into Elon Musk's million-dollar giveaway in swing states, where signers pledge support for the U.S. Constitution and free speech. This initiative, aligning with Musk's America PAC, has drawn backlash, with Philadelphia's Soros-backed DA, Larry Krasner, claiming election interference. Sara criticizes this irony, highlighting Soros' financial influence on progressive DAs and his $128 million funding for Democratic causes, which she argues is the real interference. Sara then moves to Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally, where 21,000 attended and 75,000 gathered outside, contrasting it with MSNBC's comparison to a Nazi rally in 1939. She dismisses these media smears as a tactic to prevent Trump's symbolic reclamation of New York. Sara points to Trump's growing coalition with support from Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., and an Imam backing his Middle East peace stance, noting a unified shift toward free speech and constitutional values. Reflecting on these “biblical times,” Sara views today's divide as one of “truth and lies, life and death,” seeing this election as a fight for America's core values. She underscores Harris' recent struggles at a poorly attended Houston rally with Beyoncé, which suggested Harris supporters' waning enthusiasm. At another “Drag Me to the Polls” event, turnout was equally weak, which Sara takes as proof that Americans are rejecting left-wing identity politics. Calling for a resurgence of traditional American masculinity, Sara rallies for men to “hunt injustice” and defend the vulnerable, praising young men she meets at the polls who are eager to vote for Trump. Sara closes with gratitude for those who've supported her in standing for truth and vows to continue the fight, hoping Americans awaken to protect the country's core values. Sara is joined by BlazeTV contributors Matthew Marsden and Jaco Booyens, host of "The Bottom Line." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
