Glenn Greenwald and Elizabeth Price Foley debate Trump v. United States and its implications for presidential powers.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/01/2024): 3:05pm- Dave Urbanski of The Blaze writes: “Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker—who for years has been searching for the truth about Jan. 6, 2021, and believes the U.S. government has been targeting him for it—on Friday was charged with four misdemeanors related to his Jan. 6 coverage at the U.S. Capitol after turning himself in to the FBI in Dallas. The charges are: Knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, Disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, Disorderly conduct in a capitol building, Parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building…Baker's Dallas attorney, James Lee Bright, added to Blaze News that withholding the nature of the charges against his client was a ‘really unusual' move. Bright told Blaze News that he's ‘disturbed' about what's happening with his client, especially given that Baker has been ‘in full compliance' all this time. Bright also said the federal government ‘three-plus years later going after people who were legitimate functioning journalists that day' appears designed to have an ‘absolute chilling effect.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.theblaze.com/news/blaze-news-investigative-writer-steve-baker-whos-been-reporting-on-january-6-handcuffed-charged 3:30pm- While speaking from Eagle Pass, Texas, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that he met with the parents of Laken Riley—a 22-year-old University of Georgia student who was murdered by an undocumented migrant last Thursday. Trump stated, “[President] Joe Biden will never say Laken Riley's name, but we will…We're not going to forget her.” He went on to explain that undocumented migrants are pouring across the U.S. Southern border unchecked as part of the “Joe Biden invasion.” During his visit to Eagle Pass, Trump was accompanied by Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) who, similarly, called on President Biden to use executive action to halt the ongoing chaos at the border. Meanwhile, speaking from Brownsville, Texas, President Biden said this administration—as well as local Texas officials—are working hard to create a “safe secure border.” Biden then emphatically stated “it is time to act,” calling on Congress to pass legislation that will guarantee border officials have the resources they need while drastically increasing the number of judges available to process the asylum claims of migrants entering the country. But wouldn't expediting asylum claims potentially encourage more migrants to flood the U.S. Southern border? 3:35pm- While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump jokingly said of President Joe Biden: “He couldn't do this interview…I say it loud and clear: he should take a cognitive test. A president should take a cognitive test. They say that is unconstitutional...But I took two of them, and I aced both of them—I'm very proud to say.” 3:40pm- Cliff Maloney Jr.—Founder of The Pennsylvania Chase—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his campaign to knock on 500,000 doors in key districts throughout PA, with the initiative ideally increasing Republican mail-in ballot participation. Maloney explains that “as much as I like voting on Election Day” it's important for Republicans to understand the vote early option is available to them. In past elections Republicans submitted a mere 20% of the total mail-in ballots. Maloney emphasizes that Republicans cannot fail to adapt and expect to win.

Bush Administration—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about his campaign to unseat Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA). McCormick is calling on Lancaster City Council to rescind their recently approved Lancaster Trust Act which ends cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The puzzling decision comes as thousands of migrants unlawfully enter the country everyday under the Biden Administration's relaxed border policies. You can learn more about his campaign here: https://www.davemccormickpa.com 5:05pm- In their Wall Street Journal opinion piece, David B. Rivkin Jr. and Elizabeth Price Foley write: “Many observers thought the Supreme Court would decline to consider Donald Trump's claim that presidential immunity shields him from prosecution for his conduct on Jan. 6, 2021. But on Wednesday the justices announced that they will hear the former president's case in April. Mr. Trump could eventually face a trial on those charges, but the justices had little choice but to take up this question because the lower court's ruling was so sweeping and dangerous. Mr. Trump claims that his allegedly criminal actions were ‘official acts' taken as president. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia held that it didn't matter if they were—that no president is entitled to immunity from ‘generally applicable criminal laws.' That decision violates the separation of powers, threatens the independence and vigor of the presidency, and is inconsistent with Supreme Court precedent.” Rivkin served in the Justice Department during the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush Administrations. Foley is a constitutional law professor at Florida University.

A piece of deep-fried chicken slathered in marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. Rich will not be trying it anytime soon… 5:40pm- Ryan Saavedra of The Daily Wire writes: “Calls are growing in Sacramento for a criminal investigation to be launched into California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom after an explosive story published this week said that Newsom created an unusual special carveout in a piece of legislation that benefited one of his top donors. Bloomberg News reported that billionaire Greg Flynn was getting a “new boost” after his chain of Panera Bread locations were exempted from a new law that forces fast food restaurants to increase their minimum wage from $16 to $20 per hour. Flynn is the largest ‘restaurant franchisee in the US, if not the world,' the report added. Panera Bread was spared from the law because it offered ‘unusual exemption for chains that bake bread and sell it as a standalone item.' The report states that Newsom ‘pushed for that break.'” You can read the full report here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/calls-grow-for-fbi-to-launch-criminal-investigation-into-gavin-newsom-over-alleged-corruption-scandal 5:50pm- In a video posted to social media, Marianne Williamson announced she is “unsuspending” her campaign for president—she also used the four-minute clip to call Donald Trump a fascist. 6:05pm- BREAKING NEWS: Rich is ready to use his brand-new pizza oven! And we are all just waiting to be invited for dinner… 6:10pm- While appearing on CNBC, New York City Mayor Eric Adams defended his decision to give prepaid debit cards to undocumented migrants living in NYC—calling it “a smart way to bring down” costs. 6:40pm- Cliff Maloney Jr.—Founder of The Pennsylvania Chase—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his campaign to knock on 500,000 doors in key districts throughout PA, with the initiative ideally increasing Republican mail-in ballot participation.

In his new book, The Fourteenth Amendment and the Privileges and Immunities of American Citizenship, Prof. Lash presents the history surrounding the addition of the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868. This exhaustively researched book follows the evolution in public understanding of “the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States,” from the early years of the Constitution to the critical national election of 1866. For the first 92 years of our nation's history, nothing in the American Constitution prevented states from abridging freedom of speech, prohibiting the free exercise of religion, or denying the right of peaceful assembly. The suppression of freedom in the southern states convinced the Reconstruction Congress and the supporters of the Union to add an amendment forcing the states to respect the rights announced in the first eight amendments. But rather than eradicate state autonomy altogether, the people embraced the Fourteenth Amendment that expanded the protections of the Bill of Rights and preserved the Constitution's original commitment to federalism and the principle of limited national power.Pressor Kurt Lash, Guy Raymond Jones Chair in Law and Director, Program in Constitutional Theory, History, and Law is joined by critical commenter Elizabeth Price Foley, Professor of Law at the Florida International University School of Law.

This Federalist Society Faculty Book Podcast features Professor Elizabeth Price Foley’s new book, The Tea Party: Three Principles. -- As Publisher Cambridge University Press states: "In The Tea Party: Three Principles, constitutional law professor Elizabeth Price Foley takes on the mainstream media's characterization of the American Tea Party movement, asserting that it has been distorted in a way that prevents meaningful political dialogue and may even be dangerous for America's future. Foley sees the Tea Party as a movement of principles over politics. She identifies three "core principles" of American constitutional law that bind the decentralized, wide-ranging movement: limited government, unapologetic U.S. sovereignty, and constitutional originalism. These three principles, Foley explains, both define the Tea Party movement and predict its effect on the American political landscape. Foley explains the three principles' significance to the American founding and constitutional structure. She then connects the principles to current issues as health care reform, illegal immigration, the war on terror, and internationalism." -- Professor Foley, a Professor of Law at Florida International University School of Law, is joined by critical commenter Jared Goldstein, a Professor at Roger Williams University School of Law, to discuss the book.
Elizabeth Price Foley is a law professor who actually takes the Constitution seriously..."The Tea Party: Three Principles". Then, a listener asks, "Hey Mickelson you hate gotcha cams for enforcing the law, but want immigration laws enforced... whazzup with that? Then, law enforcement demonstrates graphically why we need a "stand your ground law".

The Constitution was written to protect individual sovereignty, but we have gradually allowed a regime of public morality and intolerance to replace that inheritance from the Founders. That's the thesis of a new book by Elizabeth Price Foley. An expert on health care law and bioethics, Foley explains "the morality of American law," then applies those principles to marriage; sex; reproduction; medical care; and food, drug, and alcohol regulation to show how far we've strayed from the Constitution's promise of liberty for all. William Galston, a former adviser to President Clinton and an expert on family policy, will offer comments. Please join us for what promises to be an entertaining and informative exchange.
