Podcast appearances and mentions of Jed Rubenfeld

The morning of March 8, Mahmoud Khalil was detained at his apartment in New York City. Khalil is a 30-year-old Algerian citizen. He was born in Syria and is of Palestinian descent. He came to this country on a student visa in 2022, married an American citizen in 2023, became a green card holder in 2024, and finished his graduate studies at Columbia University in December 2024. Mahmoud was also the spokesman and negotiator for Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a group that says it is “fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization,” and which played an active role in the rioting that took over Columbia buildings last spring. He has not been charged with any crimes—at least not so far. But the White House wants to deport him on the grounds that he poses a threat to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States. Secretary of State Marco Rubio went as far as to post on X: “We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.” Many of us believe that Khalil's ideology is abhorrent. He enjoyed the United States' educational system—attending one of our most prestigious universities—while advocating for America's destruction and for a group that seeks the genocide of the Jewish people. At the same time, the case for his deportation is not clear-cut. Here's the divide: Some say this is an immigration case. As Free Press contributing editor Abigail Shrier has put it: “This is an immigration, not a free speech case. It's about whether the U.S. can set reasonable conditions on aliens for entry and residence.” But others say this is, in fact, a free speech case that cuts to the heart of our most cherished values. To figure all this out, we're hosting three of the smartest legal minds we know. Eugene Volokh is an expert on the Bill of Rights who is currently a senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution. He's also a contributor to Reason magazine, where he runs his own blog, The Volokh Conspiracy. Rabbi Dr. Mark Goldfeder is a practicing lawyer and the director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center. Just yesterday, he filed a lawsuit in the District Court for the Southern District of New York against Khalil and several others for material support for terror. Jed Rubenfeld is a Free Press columnist and a professor of constitutional law at Yale Law School. This case is one we have written about extensively in The Free Press—and one that we are actively debating in our newsroom. So we were thrilled to be able to bring together some of the smartest people on this complicated issue.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- For the first time, Ukraine used long-range missiles to attack Russian territory earlier this week. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a revision in policy, signing a doctrine ultimately lowering the threshold for a nuclear strike—and on Thursday, Russia struck a military facility in Dnipro, Ukraine with an intercontinental ballistic missile. According to Putin, the ICBM reached speeds 10x the speed of sound—and he bragged that modern defense systems are incapable of intercepting these specific missiles. 5:20pm- Congresswoman Nancy Mace has introduced a resolution that would prevent biological males from using women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol. 5:25pm- The show has been a little heavy today…so, Rich decides to lighten the mood by playing audio of his favorite Donald Trump supporter: Trump De Dump Dump Dump! 5:30pm- Speaking with Jen Psaki on MSNBC, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said she will not cooperate with Donald Trump's Administration or the federal government when it comes to the deportation of undocumented migrants. Gov. Grisham has a history of ignoring the constitution—in 2023, she attempted to unilaterally suspend concealed and open carry gun rights in her state before ultimately having to concede she was wrong. 5:40pm- Recess Appointment Complications. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Yale Law School professor Jed Rubenfeld makes a compelling argument as to why the Supreme Court of the United States is likely strike down any recess cabinet appointments. He notes that in the 2014 Noel Canning case, Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, and Sam Alito all opposed recess appointments. Complicating matters further, Axios is reporting that several House Republicans will vote against allowing Congress to head to recess with the intent of allowing Donald Trump to circumvent Senate approval on cabinet nominations. 5:50pm- Audio of the Day: Professor Alan Lichtman accuses Cenk Uygur of “blasphemy” for insulting him and his “Keys” to the presidency.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/21/2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, former Congressman Matt Gaetz announced he is withdrawing as Donald Trump's nominee to serve as U.S. Attorney General. According to reports, Gaetz concluded he had no pathway towards confirmation after meeting with Senators earlier in the week and determining that at least four—Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and John Curtis—would not support him. Republicans will hold a 53 to 47 advantage in the Senate, consequently cabinet nominees cannot afford to lose the support of more than four Republicans. 3:30pm- Dr. Martin Kulldorff—An Epidemiologist, Biostatistician, and a Founding Fellow at Hillsdale College's Academy for Science and Freedom—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for The Federalist, “RFK Is Right—Let's Study Vaccine Risk Factors.” Dr. Kulldorff emphasizes his support and belief in vaccines but writes America cannot “abandoned evidence-based medicine.” He continues: “Scientists are tasked with both developing and evaluating drugs and vaccines, and it is important to separate these two important roles. Scientists evaluating drug and vaccine safety should not take money from pharmaceutical companies.” Dr. Kulldorff is a former Professor of Medicine at Harvard University and was a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration. You can read the full article here: https://thefederalist.com/2024/11/19/world-renowned-vaccine-scientist-rfk-is-right-lets-study-vaccine-risk-factors/ 3:45pm- While speaking with U.S. Senators on Capitol Hill, Pete Hegseth—Donald Trump's nominee to serve as Secretary of Defense—denied newly resurfaced sexual assault allegations. The encounter allegedly occurred seven years ago, and Hegseth was never charged with any crime. 3:50pm- With Matt Gaetz withdrawing as Donald Trump's nominee to serve as U.S. Attorney General, who might Trump pick next? Senator Mike Lee? Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton? 4:05pm- Congressman Jeff Van Drew—United States Representative for New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to Donald Trump's impressive Election Day performance in New Jersey. Plus, Rep. Van Drew expresses his frustrations with President Joe Biden—explaining he's “escalating” the war between Ukraine and Russia. 4:30pm- On her SiriusXM show, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley raised concerns about Donald Trump's appointments of Tulsi Gabbard to Director of National Intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Secretary of Health and Human Services. 5:05pm- For the first time, Ukraine used long-range missiles to attack Russian territory earlier this week. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a revision in policy, signing a doctrine ultimately lowering the threshold for a nuclear strike—and on Thursday, Russia struck a military facility in Dnipro, Ukraine with an intercontinental ballistic missile. According to Putin, the ICBM reached speeds 10x the speed of sound—and he bragged that modern defense systems are incapable of intercepting these specific missiles. 5:20pm- Congresswoman Nancy Mace has introduced a resolution that would prevent biological males from using women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol. 5:25pm- The show has been a little heavy today…so, Rich decides to lighten the mood by playing audio of his favorite Donald Trump supporter: Trump De Dump Dump Dump! 5:30pm- Speaking with Jen Psaki on MSNBC, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said she will not cooperate with Donald Trump's Administration or the federal government when it comes to the deportation of undocumented migrants.

Yale Law professor and Constitutional lawyer Jed Rubenfeld sits down to explain to me the truth about Trump's indictments, the weaponisation and bias of the legal system, the Hush Money trial, Hunter Biden's felony conviction, the Biden vs Missouri case, now named Murthy vs Missouri in which he is a lawyer representing RFK Jr, and Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress conviction.Is there a double standard? Did Hillary do the same exact thing and get away with it?Professor Rubenfeld tells me what was legitimate and not legitimate about the cases, what the judges got wrong, what happens next and what it means for the Presidential election.A deep dive into the legal technicalities the main stream media ignore.

Jed Rubenfeld is a professor at Yale Law School and an expert in constitutional law. He is with me today to given an expert analysis on the lawfare used against President Trump. We discuss the case in length, sentencing and the appellate process. In one of the most momentous cases of our time, a former president was convicted of a crime that few understand. The jury was given options as to what President Trump may have been guilty of in a novel legal theory that violates the 6th amendment of the Constitution. This convoluted case included additional crimes that were never clearly explained all the way up to the day of trial. While the Manhattan DA's office run by Alvin Bragg has been consistently reducing felonies to misdemeanors, this was a misdemeanor elevated to a felony by allegedly misreporting invoices, checks and ledger entries in order to conceal 34 payments made. Unironically, Hillary Clinton's campaign had recorded business records as legal expenses in the famous Steele Dossier to which she only received a fine. Bragg ran for election to "Get Trump," Judge Merchan contributed to "Stop Republicans" and Michael Colangelo left the Biden administration to join the prosecution in this case. What they have done collectively is taken lawfare to an ugly extreme and set a dangerous precedent for the future political candidates.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Three Whisky Happy Hour bartenders are finally back in the same time zone, and Lucretia fills in Steve and John about what happened while they were away partying in Europe. We mostly skip over doting on Biden's dotage, and take up Jed Rubenfeld's argument that Trump isn't technically a "convicted felon" yet, and might have strong case for immediate relief from the Supreme Court. We finally have a long-postponed update on the situation in Ukraine, where there have been a number of developments over the last two weeks that make the war more volatile. The French are sending in troops ('advisers,' but that sounds too familiar), while we have apparently greenlit Ukraine to attack inside Russian with our weapons—so long as we approve the targets. What could go wrong? (And why is Hungary opposing the NATO position on Ukraine? Not for the reasons you read in the American media. . .)Finally, for our Article of the Week we take up the issue of climate change litigation, which John wrote about a few days ago for National Review, and which Steve is working separately on an article about European lawfare in this domain.

Michael was intrigued by a take on former President Trump's guilty verdict that many may disagree with. Hear Yale Law School Professor Jed Rubenfeld explain here. Original air date 4 June 2024.

John McWhorter is back once more for an episode of The Glenn Show, so let’s get into it. I begin by reporting on my current “European Tour.” Last week I spoke at the London School of Economics, and I’m currently headed from Toulouse, France to Marseille to deliver the keynote address at the International Conference on Public Economic Theory. It’s been quite an enlightening experience so far, as I’ve gotten a look at how young black European economists are thinking about inequities within and without their profession. John and I discuss a recent report from the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, which offers a picture of racial disparities in the UK that differs greatly from that of the US. But as John notes, the impression that people abroad have of our problems is often distorted. One of our real problems is our tendency to filter all thinking about race and ethnicity through “blacks and whites.” The US is a much more diverse place that that, and John and I ask how long the concerns of African Americans will determine the national agenda for all “people of color.” Next, John asks a big question: What is the real cause of racial disparities in the commission of violent crime? We know that black perpetrators are responsible for a disproportionate amount of violent crime, but we need to understand why. I gently chide John for missing the recent Old Parkland Conference, but he’s got a good excuse: He was busy recording a series of lectures about the history of the alphabet for the Great Courses! I am utterly fascinated by this project, and I convince John to give us a preview. And finally, I offer a critique of John’s recent column, which addresses school shootings. This one is buoyant and weighty in equal measure. As always, I want to hear your thoughts. Let me know in the comments!This post is free and available to the public.

Yale Law School's Jed Rubenfeld isn't letting his suspension following a sexual harassment investigation slow down his quest for the spotlight. And while media outlets don't need to invite the scrutiny by inviting a suspended professor to talk about run-of-the-mill legal takes, the Wall Street Journal is ready to roll out the red carpet for anyone willing to provide spicy "vaccines are socialism" takes! Pairing with an award-winning virologist also at the nadir of his professional standing, Rubenfeld explains how omicron means vaccine mandates are unconstitutional... or something. We also talk about the wrong way to handle a holiday party -- don't slap guests! -- and how the Ghislaine Maxwell verdict may fall apart over jury selection.   Special thanks to our sponsors, Lexicon and Nota.

Ayaan talks with Amy Chua about how America has always demonstrated a poor understanding of tribal relations in other cultures, a weakness that makes the country ill-prepared to navigate the increasing tribalism of its own domestic politics. Amy shares her work on ‘market dominant minorities’ and ‘super-groups,’ as both women express concern about the growing political “us vs them” mentality in the United States. Amy Chua is a Professor of Law at Yale Law School.  She received both her A.B. and her J.D. from Harvard University and was Executive Editor of the Harvard Law Review.   After practicing on Wall Street, she joined the Yale Law faculty in 2001.  She is the bestselling author of numerous books, including World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability, The Triple Package (coauthored with Jed Rubenfeld), and her 2011 memoir Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, a runaway international bestseller that has been translated into 30 languages.  Her latest book is Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations. In 2011, she was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world, one of the Atlantic Monthly's Brave Thinkers, and one of Foreign Policy's Global Thinkers. She also received the Yale Law School's “Best Teaching” award. Follow her on Twitter @amychua or visit her website at amychua.com.

King Mosiah implements a system of judges to rule his people after his passing, and explains why this system will better secure their liberty. However, as we begin the Book of Alma right away Nephite society is confronted with a number of challenges, first from Nehor, an antichrist who taught that all would be saved, and Amlici, who sought to be king and take away the people’s liberty. By calling upon God, under Alma’s leadership the Nephites are successful in fighting off attacks from those that followed Amlici and the Lamanites. The church of God is also challenged by both persecution and worldly success. In the end, Alma steps down from his seat as the chief judge to focus on his role as high priest of the church. In addition to the covered chapters, this lesson also draws from (1) John W.

Just the tip... of the non-existent iceberg. Some not so important things about some of the biggest debates in our times. There are some seriously great research links below, also. How data on income inequality and the wealth gap often misses key components to the argument at hand. How data tells a different story depending on how much groups are broken into subgroups. Evidence against the theory of continued white supremacy in the US that is consistently ignored or diminished in its importance. Evidence against oppression being the cause of income inequality, the wealth gap, and less income for 'minorities', in light of the advancement of other minorities. Researching backwards rather than forward without prior conclusions. Can we experience life through data and reports, summarized with an agenda, rather than interacting with the world? Continued in Part 3. *cliffhanger* As always, thank you for watching! Talk soon.
