The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- On Wednesday, president-elect Donald Trump met with President Joe Biden in the White House Oval Office to discuss administration transition plans. 4:15pm- CNN Has Already Begun to Attack Tulsi Gabbard. CNN host Boris Sanchez baselessly suggested that Tulsi Gabbard might be a Russian asset—and asked Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) if he was comfortable with Gabbard having access to the nation's most sensitive secrets as Director of National Intelligence. 4:30pm- If some of Donald Trump's cabinet picks struggle to get confirmed in the U.S. Senate, could he use recess appointments? Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal writes of recess appointments: “The Senate wasn't conceived to continuously be in session, and the vagaries of 18th-century communication and transportation meant that weeks could go by before lawmakers could be reconvened for an emergency. To keep the government staffed, the Constitution provides that the president may fill vacancies while the Senate is in recess, but those commissions expire at the end of the next session of Congress. That means a recess appointee can't hold office longer than two years, the length of a congressional session.” You can read more about recess appointments here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-recess-appointments-senate-179a16f7 4:45pm- While appearing on a podcast, Sunny Hostin revealed that she thought she was asking Kamala Harris softball questions during the Vice President's appearance on The View.

I look forward to working with Marco to Make America, and the World, Safe and Great Again!” 3:10pm- Who might Governor Ron DeSantis pick to replace Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate? According to Axios, Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) is pushing for Lara Trump—Donald Trump's daughter-in-law and co-chair of the RNC. However, Politico suggests the front runner is likely James Uthmeier—DeSantis's current Chief of Staff. 3:15pm- More breaking news…RESTART THE SHOW AGAIN!

Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System.” 3:40pm- Does Matt Gaetz have enough support to get confirmed as U.S. Attorney General?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/29/2024): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, during a speech from the Senate floor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced that he would be stepping down from his leadership position at the end of the term in November. Though, he does not plan to resign from the Senate. McConnell, now 82-years-old, has served in the U.S. Senate for nearly 40-years and has been the leader of the Senate Republican Conference since 2007. So, who will replace McConnell in November? Audrey Fahlberg of National Review writes: “November may be a long way off, but the shadow race to succeed McConnell is now coming into public view after unfolding behind closed doors for months. Leading the race are the ‘three Johns'—Senate GOP whip John Thune of South Dakota, conference chair John Barrasso of Wyoming, and former whip John Cornyn of Texas—all of whom have spent the past year or so privately signaling to colleagues that they would be eager to fill the role when the time came for McConnell to step aside.” You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/with-mcconnells-announcement-the-race-for-senate-gop-leader-emerges-from-behind-closed-doors/ 3:15pm- In a recently published article for The Washington Post, Danielle Paquette writes about how Republicans have become growingly reluctant to send tens-of-billions of dollars in additional aid to Ukraine. Paquette blames partisan politics, but could it be that the hesitancy stems from the lack of a coherent plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine—coupled with the Biden Administration's refusal to spend money to secure the U.S. Southern border? You can read Paquette's article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/02/29/ukraine-support-alabama-political-divide/# 3:35pm- On Thursday, President Joe Biden and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump are visiting the U.S. Southern border in two separate trips. President Biden will be visiting Brownsville, Texas. During an interview with Fox News, President of the National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd criticized Biden's selection of Brownsville, explaining: “he's not going to any location where he's going to be able to evaluate what he needs to do.” Meanwhile, Trump's visit will take place in Eagle Pass, Texas—a city impacted by massive amounts of migrants crossing the border unlawfully. 3:40pm- In an interview with NewsNation, Democrat Congressman Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX) told viewers that President Joe Biden should speak out against cities that embrace “Sanctuary City” status. 3:45pm- President Joe Biden continues to insist that he has no control over the influx of migrants crossing the U.S. Southern border unlawfully. But as Rich Lowry notes in his most recent article for National Review, “Joe Biden was inaugurated on January 20, 2021. Less than two weeks later, on February 2, he issued the executive order that began the unraveling at the border in earnest. The border crisis isn't something that happened to President Biden. It's not a product of circumstances or understandable policy mistakes made under duress. No, he sought it and created it, on principle and as a matter of urgency.”  Lowry continues: “The February 2 action… put on the chopping block numerous Trump policies that had helped establish order at the border, from Trump's expansion of expedited removal, to his termination of a parole program for Central American minors, to his memorandum urging the relevant departments to work toward ending ‘catch and release.' Most importantly, it went after two of the pillars of Trump's success at the border: the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), or so-called Remain in Mexico, and the safe-third-country agreements with the Northern Triangle countries that allowed us to divert asylum-seekers to Central American countries other than their own, where they could make asylum claims.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/02/the-day-joe-biden-blew-up-the-border/ 3:55pm- The Rich Zeoli Show has won the 2024 Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters award for Outstanding Radio Personality/Team. The show also won the award last year. Rich wonders why Matt hasn't submitted a package for a Marconi Award…and a Nobel Prize? 4:05pm- While speaking with Charlamagne Tha God, Dr. Phil claimed that Facebook and Instagram suppressed a recent video he posted documenting chaos at the U.S. Southern border. 4:10pm- MSNBC legal analyst and University of Michigan law professor Barbara McQuade told Rachel Maddow that the First Amendment's protection of free speech makes America vulnerable to misinformation. McQuade insisted that no one is endorsing a weakening of the First Amendment—right before she hinted that regulating speech might be beneficial. 4:25pm- 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. 4:45pm- While speaking from Brownsville, Texas, President Joe 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? 5:05pm- 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.

On MSNBC, Rachel Maddow told her audience that if the court rules in Trump's favor he may never leave the White House—and will be president forever. “Professor” Rich Zeoli provides the audience with an incredibly hilarious (though, perhaps not entirely accurate) history lesson that you won't soon forget! 5:50pm- Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal writes: “The Supreme Court agreed to consider whether Donald Trump must stand trial on charges he plotted to overturn the 2020 election, after lower courts rejected his claim that he is entitled to absolute immunity because he was president at the time. The court's move means it will have final say on an issue the judiciary never confronted before Trump. But it also means the former president has bought himself more months before any trial, which had been scheduled to start in early March before the immunity battle scuttled those plans. The court scheduled oral arguments for the week of April 22. A decision is likely before July.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/supreme-court-to-say-if-donald-trump-must-stand-trial-in-2020-election-conspiracy-case-1b7f4e3f?mod=hp_lead_pos1 6:05pm- 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.

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the letter, which mentions a recent Select Subcommittee hearing where Dr. Peter Marks' testimony suggested that the FDA's approval of the COVID-19 vaccine may have been rushed in order to meet timing set by government entities. On the day immediately following the FDA's approval of the vaccine, the Biden Administration called for COVID-19 vaccine mandates.” You can read the full report here: https://dailycaller.com/2024/02/29/exclusive-covid-committee-food-drug-administration-fda-rushed-vaccine-approval/ 6:15pm- Flashback: Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) ridiculously suggested that if Donald Trump's presidential immunity claims are proven to be valid, then the sitting president would be incentivized to assassinate political rivals to avoid impeachment. 6:35pm- During a House hearing on Thursday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revealed that he sometimes goes several days without communicating with President Joe Biden. 6:50pm- What's worse: a Leap Year birthday or a birthday on Christmas?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/28/2024): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, during a speech from the Senate floor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced that he would be stepping down from his leadership position at the end of the term in November. Though, he does not plan to resign from the Senate. McConnell, now 82-years-old, has served in the U.S. Senate for nearly 40-years and has been the leader of the Senate Republican Conference since 2007. You can read more here: https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4494536-mcconnell-to-step-down-as-senate-gop-leader/ 3:15pm- According to reports from both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, during a White House meeting on Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) joined Democrat leadership—President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries—in pressing Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) to vote on a bill that would send tens-of-billions of dollars of foreign aid to Ukraine. The bill, which passed in the Senate, has stalled in the House of Representatives. 3:40pm- On Tuesday, Michigan held its Republican and Democrat primaries. Donald Trump defeated Nikki Haley 68% to 27%. Meanwhile President Joe Biden won 81% of the vote—though, “uncommitted” received a shocking 101,000 votes, or 13% of the Democrat electorate. According to estimates, “uncommitted” earned enough support to be awarded 2 delegates. Perhaps most alarming for Democrats, “uncommitted”—which beat Biden in Dearborn and Hamtramck, both of which have large Arab American populations—also performed well in East Lansing and Ann Arbor, two college towns. Is Biden struggling to appeal to young voters? And what could that mean for Biden in a general election? 4:05pm- On Wednesday, President Joe Biden had his annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center—though, he received no cognitive test. During her White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that Biden “passes a cognitive test everyday” as president.

Jones noted that Kennedy is “on track to be in enough states to cost Joe Biden the presidency.” 4:30pm- David Kappos—Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office under Barack Obama (2009-2013)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a Biden Administration proposal that would reinterpret the Bayh-Dole Act which deals with the development of intellectual property arising from research funded by the federal government—with ownership of the invention/patent being granted to the entity responsible for actually conducting the research. Rather than alter the bill through the legislative process, President Joe Biden may act unilaterally via executive order. And under Biden's proposed alteration to the Bayh-Dole Act's framework, he would weaken patent ownership—hobbling technological, medical, and scientific innovation done at universities, for example, in the process. A letter to Biden, signed by Kappos and other former government officials, states: “We believe the adoption of the Draft Framework would destabilize our nation's entire technology transfer system which is central to U.S. innovation, and we thus implore you to withdraw the framework in its entirety.” 4:50pm- After a seven-hour deposition, Hunter Biden and his attorney Abbe Lowell emerged from an office building on Capitol Hill. Lowell briefly spoke with members of the press and claimed that Republican members of Congress were unable to produce any evidence that Hunter Biden, or the Biden family, ever engaged in corrupt business practices. 5:00pm- Regina Egea—President of the Garden State Initiative (GSI) & served as Chief of Staff to former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Governor Phil Murphy's proposal that New Jersey adopt a corporate tax rate of 11.5%, which would be the highest in the entire country. How would this new proposed exorbitant tax impact job creation throughout the state? 5:20pm- Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal writes: “The Supreme Court agreed to consider whether Donald Trump must stand trial on charges he plotted to overturn the 2020 election, after lower courts rejected his claim that he is entitled to absolute immunity because he was president at the time. The court's move means it will have final say on an issue the judiciary never confronted before Trump. But it also means the former president has bought himself at least another couple of months before any trial, which had been scheduled to start in early March before the immunity battle scuttled those plans.” You find more on this developing story here: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/supreme-court-to-say-if-donald-trump-must-stand-trial-in-2020-election-conspiracy-case-1b7f4e3f 5:40pm- Phil Kerpen—President of American Commitment—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's announcement that he will be stepping down at the end of the term in November. Who is likely to replace him as leader of the Senate Republican Conference? Kerpen thinks it might be Sen. John Thune (R-SD) who currently serves as Senate Minority Whip. Plus, according to reports, Congressional leaders have agreed to a short-term bill to avoid a partial government shutdown which was at risk of occurring at the end of the week.

Without Presidential Immunity, a President will not be able to properly function, or make decisions, in the best interest of the United States of America. Presidents will always be concerned, and even paralyzed, by the prospect of wrongful prosecution and retaliation after they leave office.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/12/2024): 3:05pm- Hank Berrien of The Daily Wire writes: “A woman carrying an AR-15 that had ‘Free Palestine' written on it started shooting at the megachurch of celebrity pastor Joel Osteen in Houston on Sunday, injuring one man before she was shot and killed by two off-duty officers working as security, police said… A federal law enforcement source said that the shooter used an AR-15 that had ‘Free Palestine' written on it, CNN reports. Questions have emerged regarding the gender-identity of the shooter, who according to arrest records had also identified as a man named ‘Jeffrey' in recent years.” You can read more about the story here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/woman-carrying-ar-15-emblazoned-with-free-palestine-shoots-up-joel-osteens-megachurch 3:10pm- Philip Klein from National Review writes: “President Biden couldn't even remember when he was vice president or when his son Beau had died, leading special counsel Robert Hur to conclude that he could not bring charges for mishandling of classified documents, because a jury would see the president ‘as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.' In a report, Robert Hur concluded that Biden ‘willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.' But he declined to issue any charges, in part because Biden's poor recollection would make him hard to convict.” At one point in the report, Hur explains: “In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?'), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?'). He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/special-counsel-account-of-bidens-mental-decline-is-frightening/ 3:15pm- Since the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's recommendation that the Department of Justice not prosecute President Joe Biden for mishandling classified documents, citing the president's poor recollection and fading memory, many have wondered whether the Democrat Party will ultimately replace Biden as their 2024 presidential nominee. 3:30pm- While appearing on CNN with Michael Smerconish, former Obama campaign manager David Axelrod denied that Michelle Obama has any interest in replacing Joe Biden as the Democrat Party's 2024 presidential nominee. Interestingly, Las Vegas oddsmakers have her as the third most likely person to win the 2024 presidential election behind only Donald Trump and Biden. 3:45pm- Democrat political strategist James Carville told CNN's Michael Smerconish that he does not expect President Joe Biden to debate Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during the 2024 election cycle. 3:50pm- During Friday night's episode of Real Time, host Bill Maher said it's not too late for Democrats to replace Joe Biden as their presidential nominee—recommending they do it at the party's convention in August. 4:05pm- Over the weekend, the Senate cleared a series of procedural votes on a $95 billion foreign aid bill which would send money to Ukraine, Israel, and humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is expected to try to pass the bill as early as Wednesday, but will Republicans be permitted to vote on amendments? Without key changes to the bill there is some question as to whether the Republican-controlled House will even consider voting on it. 4:10pm- While appearing on Fox Business with Larry Kudlow, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said he is against any foreign aid packages without first securing the U.S. Southern border. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) echoed similar sentiments during a conversation with Jake Tapper on CNN. 4:20pm- During an interview with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said he believes there are 60 U.S. Senators that will support a $100 billion foreign aid bill. 4:30pm- While this year's Super Bowl was filled with exciting moments as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, the halftime show was largely a bust. And why did Usher take his shirt off? Nobody wanted to see that! 4:40pm- The Biden Campaign has joined TikTok as part of an effort to reach young voters. The decision is somewhat controversial, as the China-based social media application is banned from U.S. government devices over security concerns. 4:45pm- During an interview with Sirius XM's Megyn Kelly, Mark Epstein claimed that there is evidence that his brother, Jeffrey Epstein, did not kill himself. 5:05pm-On Monday, President Joe Biden met with Jordan's King Abdullah II at the White House. During a joint press conference, President Biden announced “the United States is working on a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas which would bring an immediate and sustained period of calm into Gaza for at least 6 weeks.” 5:10pm- During a campaign rally in Conway, South Carolina, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called on all NATO members to pay 2% of their annual gross domestic product in joint defense. Currently, 20 of the 31 alliance members meet the threshold they've pledged to contribute. Trump said: “one of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘well sir, if we don't pay and we are attacked by Russia will you protect us?' I said, ‘you didn't pay? You're delinquent?...no, I would not protect you.'” In response, Democrats have claimed that Trump is a threat to European allies, claiming if elected he will have the United States leave NATO. However, as Annie Linskey, Aaron Zitner, and Alex Leary of The Wall Street Journal note, “last year, Congress included an amendment offered by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-VA), and Marco Rubio (R-FL), in the annual defense-policy bill that requires the advice and consent of the Senate or an act of Congress before any president could ‘suspend, terminate, or withdraw' U.S. membership in NATO. The language sets a high threshold—two-thirds of all senators—to approve a withdrawal and bars any funding from being used to support such a move by any government official. It became law when Biden signed the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act in late December.” You can read the Wall Street Journal article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/nato-leader-blasts-trumps-suggestion-he-would-encourage-russian-invasion-of-u-s-allies-3eb96a10?mod=hp_lead_pos9 5:20pm- Did Joe Biden just call Rihanna the Queen of Jordan? 5:30pm- In the most bizarre story you'll read all day, Naomi Nix of The Washington Post writes: “As virtual reality programs are booming, so are reports of attacks, harassment and sexual assault. Some activists argue these incidents should be treated as serious—even criminal—acts.

Ryan Barber write: “Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Monday to pause a recent ruling that denied him blanket immunity for alleged crimes he committed as president, a move that could further delay proceedings on charges he plotted to overturn the 2020 election results. Two lower courts have rejected Trump's immunity claim, in which his lawyers asserted that exposing him to criminal trial would force future presidents to worry about prosecution for their official actions, hamstringing their resolve to take bold measures in the public interest.” You can read the full report here: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/donald-trump-supreme-court-appeal-immunity-daddb7b2?mod=hp_lead_pos1 6:05pm- Philip Klein from National Review writes: “President Biden couldn't even remember when he was vice president or when his son Beau had died, leading special counsel Robert Hur to conclude that he could not bring charges for mishandling of classified documents, because a jury would see the president ‘as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.'

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: On Monday, the Supreme Court starts its next term. According to Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal one of the most noteworthy cases will be Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) v. Community Financial Services Association.

The initial law, which Newsom signed in September 2022, violated doctors' First Amendment rights to free speech and Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process of law, critics say.” Could this move towards moderation be a sign that Newsom is at least considering a run in the 2024 presidential election?

According to Amanda Prestigiacomo of The Daily Wire, “An event warning against the transgender treatments and surgeries on minors, featuring a detransitioned teenager named Chloe Cole, has been removed from event managing and ticketing platform Eventbrite.” Prestigiacomo reports that the event violated Eventbrite's “policy on Hateful, Dangerous, or Violent Content” and, consequently, the event was “unpublished.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/censored-for-taking-a-stand-eventbrite-cancels-event-against-child-mutilation-with-detransitioner-chloe-cole

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/02/2023): 3:05pm- On Saturday, the House drafted a 45-day stopgap spending bill that would temporarily fund government and avert a shutdown through November 17th. The bill passed with bipartisan support—335 to 91 in the House and 88 to 9 in the Senate. After signing the bill into law, President Joe Biden blamed Republicans for the near shutdown and insisted that the legislative branch needed to provide more funding for Ukraine. 3:15pm- On Monday, former President Donald Trump arrived in New York for a civil trial in which New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that Trump-owned properties were dramatically, and fraudulently, over-valued on official documents. The New York Times notes: “If the attorney general's office proves its case, the judge could impose a sweeping array of punishments on Mr. Trump, including a $250 million penalty and a prohibition on operating a business in New York ever again.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/02/nyregion/trump-fraud-trial-letitia-james.html 3:40pm- Prior to appearing before a New York judge on Monday for a civil fraud trial, former President Donald Trump addressed the press, explaining: “There was no crime. The crime is against me…They are trying to damage me, so I don't do as well in the election…This is an attempt to hurt me in an election…They waited until I was right in the middle of my campaign.” Trump accused NY Attorney General Letitia James of undervaluing his property for political reasons. In 2018, while campaigning to become Attorney General, James vowed to “sue” Donald Trump—providing evidence to Trump's claim that this is nothing more than a political vendetta. 3:55pm- Social media influencer “Meatball” was arrested for her participation in wide-spread looting in Philadelphia. Dayja “Meatball” Blackwell, who has nearly 500,000 followers on TikTok, was charged with 6 felonies.

Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is waiting to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic party's 2024 presidential nominee. 5:15pm- On Saturday, the House drafted a 45-day stopgap spending bill that would temporarily fund government and avert a shutdown through November 17th.

While appearing on Fox News, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) said Republicans “did not get anything” out of the stopgap funding measure. 5:20pm- While appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was asked if he would consider being Donald Trump's Vice President. DeSantis explained: "No, I'm running for president…We need somebody that can win states like Georgia and Arizona, which President Trump cannot do and did not do.” 5:25pm- Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has appointed Laphonza Butler to replace Dianne Feinstein's vacant seat in the United States Senate representing California. Butler is the president of Emily's List—a far-left organization that advocates for abortion rights. Critics of the appointment note that until just recently Butler was a registered voter of Maryland and may even still live in the state. 5:30pm- On Saturday, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building just prior to the House holding its vote on a stopgap spending measure to avoid a government shutdown. Although Rep. Bowman has claimed he pulled the alarm in error, some have speculated that it was a tactic to delay the House vote—providing Democrat members of the House additional time to read through the Republican proposed legislation. 5:40pm- On October 9th in Philadelphia, PA, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce he will continue his campaign as an Independent. What kind of impact will this have on the 2024 election? 5:50pm- Vermin Supreme—a man best known for wearing a boot on his head like a hat—has announced he will be running for president. Supreme's platform includes free ponies for all Americans and a pledge for substantial investment in time travel so that he can go back in time to kill baby Adolf Hitler. Matt desperately wants to have Supreme on the show—will Rich allow him to extend an invitation? 6:05pm- On Monday, former President Donald Trump arrived in New York for a civil trial in which NY Attorney General Letitia James alleges that Trump-owned properties were dramatically, and fraudulently, over-valued on official documents. The New York Times notes: “If the attorney general's office proves its case, the judge could impose a sweeping array of punishments on Mr. Trump, including a $250 million penalty and a prohibition on operating a business in New York ever again.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/02/nyregion/trump-fraud-trial-letitia-james.html 6:10pm- Prior to appearing before a New York judge on Monday for a civil fraud trial, former President Donald Trump addressed the press, explaining: “There was no crime. The crime is against me…They are trying to damage me, so I don't do as well in the election…This is an attempt to hurt me in an election…They waited until I was right in the middle of my campaign.” Trump accused NY Attorney General Letitia James of undervaluing his property for political reasons. In 2018, prior while campaigning to become Attorney General, James vowed to “sue” Donald Trump—providing evidence to Trump's claim that this is nothing more than a political vendetta. 6:35pm- On Saturday, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building just prior to the House holding its vote on a stopgap spending measure to avoid a government shutdown. Although Rep. Bowman has claimed he pulled the alarm in error, some have speculated that it was a tactic to delay the House vote—providing Democrat members of the House additional time to read through the Republican proposed legislation. 6:40pm- While appearing on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said that there needs to be “a limit to who can come across the border” as New York City continues to struggle with an influx of unlawful migrants. 6:50pm- War at the New Jersey Shore: Was Chris Christie an early supporter of off-shore wind development?

In this episode, Matt and Sam go deep into the life and times of Whittaker Chambers, most famous for his role in the "trial of the century"—the trial of Alger Hiss for perjury after Chambers accused Hiss of being a Communist spy during his years working in the federal government, especially the State Department. The two figures, once friends, came to symbolize a clash that was bigger than themselves, and prefigured the turn American politics would take at the onset of the Cold War. Chambers would become a hero of the nascent postwar conservative movement, with his status as an ex-Communist—one of many who would congregate around National Review in the mid-to-late 1950s—bringing his moral credibility to the right as one who had seen the other side and lived to tell his tale. Before all that, though, Chambers's life was like something out of a novel: a difficult family life, early brilliance at Columbia University, literary achievement in leftwing publications, and years "underground" engaging in espionage for the Soviet Union against the United States. "Out of my weakness and folly (but also out of my strength), I committed the characteristic crimes of my century," writes  Chambers in his 1952 memoir/jeremiad Witness.  Your hosts break it all down, assess his crimes and contributions, and explore one of the most consequential American lives of the twentieth century.  Sources:Sam Tanenhaus, Whittaker Chambers: A Biography (1997)Whittaker Chambers, Witness (1952)Whittaker Chambers, Cold Friday (1964)Whittaker Chambers, "Big Sister is Watching You," National Review, December 28, 1957The Whittaker Chambers Reader: His Complete National ReviewWritings, 1957-1959 (2014)William F.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/23/2023): 3:05pm- According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the United States will expand its troop presence in Taiwan—specifically to train Taiwanese forces with weapon systems to prevent Chinese invasion of the island. What is the Biden Doctrine? Chinese leader Xi Jinping is planning to meet with Russian leader Vladmir Putin in Moscow in the coming months—alarmingly, China is considering providing the Russian military with lethal military aid. Are we moving closer to direct conflict with China? 3:30pm- As the Biden Administration sends troops to Taiwan and continues to send military equipment and financial assistance to Ukraine, is the executive branch exceeding its constitutional authority? While appearing on Fox News, Senator Mike Lee implored European allies to “pony up” money to support Ukraine's defense against Russian predations, explaining that the United States shouldn't be forced to unilaterally foot the bill. 3:45pm- On Tuesday, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Gonzalez v. Google LLC. According to Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal writes, “Supreme Court justices reacted skeptically…to claims that YouTube parent Google LLC could be sued for algorithms that automatically recommended extremist recruiting videos” in a legal case that tests “the liability of internet providers for material posted online.” Does Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act shield social media companies from liability for “content uploaded to their platforms”? During arguments, Justice Clarence Thomas compared YouTube's platform to a telephone company—explaining: “If you call information and ask for al-Baghdadi's number and they give it to you, I don't see how that's aiding and abetting.” 4:00pm- During Thursday's episode of The View, host Joy Behar suggested that, because East Palestine, Ohio voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, the community got what it deserved when a train derailed on February 3rd, 2023 and released toxic chemicals throughout the area. 4:10pm- Even MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski has now called out Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for waiting several weeks to visit East Palestine, Ohio following a train derailment that released toxic chemicals throughout the community. On Thursday afternoon, Sec. Buttigieg finally visited East Palestine. 4:20pm- While visiting East Palestine, Ohio on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump stopped by a local McDonald's—treating firemen, police, first responders, and community members in attendance to lunch. 4:30pm- While appearing at a CNN town hall with Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw, lifelong East Palestine resident Jim Stewart heartbreakingly explained how the train derailment, and subsequent chemical spill, has taken his hometown and happy life away from him. 4:45pm- Mary Louise Kelly and Jaclyn Jeffrey-Wilensky of NPR produced a report stating that it is “misinformation” to say whales washing-up on New Jersey beaches are the result of offshore wind development's usage of sonar. So, who do you believe—NPR or Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore? 5:00pm- Vitor Milo— Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Open Health Project at George Mason University's Mercatus Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his research study, “Indoor Vaccine Mandates in US Cities, Vaccination Behavior, and COVID-19 Outcomes” which concludes that there is no evidence indicating that citywide vaccine mandates did anything to stop the spread of COVID-19. You can read the research study at: https://www.mercatus.org/research/working-papers/indoor-vaccine-mandates-and-covid-19 5:25pm- Did NATO just post the worst tweet ever? 5:35pm- While speaking at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa on Wednesday, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) explained that “fentanyl isn't the only poison” harming America—warning that the victim mentality being pushed by politicians is also incredibly dangerous. 5:50pm- Vice President Kamala Harris is talking about Venn diagrams…again. How does she manage to weave Venn diagrams into every conversation she has?

There may be no institution in American more consequential or divisive than the United States Supreme Court. Under the leadership of Justice John Roberts, the court has upended campaign finance laws, undermined the 1965 voting rights act, affirmed a previously unrecognized constitutional right to gun ownership, and this year embolden by its new 6-3 conservative majority struck down the constitutional right to abortion. Decisions that have had a profound impact on our politics, not to mention the daily lives of millions of Americans. But there is more coming up. This coming Monday, on Halloween, the Supreme Court will revisit another politically charged issue. Should affirmative action continue to play a role in college admissions? And coming soon, Senator Lindsay Graham have to testify in a Fulton County investigation into Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. We discuss with two longterm court watchers, Leah Litman a Law Professor at the University of Michigan and Jess Bravin of the Wall Street Journal.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Journalist Jonathan Allen on this podcast last March described the fateful moment when Joe Biden, with his campaign on the ropes during the South Carolina primary in 2020, agreed to name an African-American woman to the Supreme Court. It was a commitment made under intense political pressure by house majority WHIP James Clyburn. The most powerful black politician in the state. But it paid off big time. Biden made his pledge, Clyburn endorsed the next morning, and the former Vice-President won a resounding victory in South Carolina putting his campaign on a gliding path to the nomination. And now, Biden's nearly two year old campaign pledge has become newly relevant as Justice Stephen Breyer announced he will be stepping down. Who will Biden actually pick to replace him? And how much difference will it make? Two veteran Supreme Court watches, Dahlia Lithwick of Slate and Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal, join to discuss.

It's the end of the term for the Supreme Court. And with that comes a number of decisions. Some more closely watched than others, specifically the case in regards to Arizona and its voting restrictions. Some may argue that the current court is a 6-3 majority in favor of the conservatives. Those same conservatives might argue it's a 3-3-3 court in favor of no one based on past decisions. How are Trump's two recent nominees shaping the future of our country? And what will this mean moving forward with high profile cases already on the horizon including Mississippi's abortion law. Our hosts also react to the news coming out of the New York DA's office about the Trump Organization and whether or not it's another dead end to pin past accusations on the former President.GUESTS:Michael Zeldin (@MichaelZeldin), Fmr.

The Supreme Court recently released decisions from some of the most highly-anticipated cases of this term. Jess Bravin, who covers the Supreme Court for The Wall Street Journal, and Marcia Coyle, Chief Washington correspondent for The National Law Journal and contributor to the National Constitution Center's blog Constitution Daily, join host Jeffrey Rosen to recap those decisions and highlight the role, approach and legal philosophy of each individual justice in this blockbuster term. Marcia, Jess, and Jeff discuss cases including: Fulton v. City of Philadelphia in which the Court held that the refusal of Philadelphia to contract with Catholic Social Services (CSS) for the provision of foster care services unless CSS agrees to certify same-sex couples as foster parents violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. Mahanoy Area School District in which the Court sided with a student whose initials are B.L., ruling that the school district's decision to suspend B.L. from the cheerleading team for posting to social media vulgar language and gestures critical of the school violates the First Amendment. California v. Texas in which the Court held that the plaintiffs in the case lack standing to challenge the Affordable Care Act's minimum essential coverage provision—essentially protecting the ACA from its latest challenge.

On this episode we read the biography Squeaky: The Life and Times of Alice Lynette Fromme by Jess Bravin. Squeaky was the first bitch to try to kill president Ford. Turns out that wasn't the only crazy event in her life, since she was also one of the original Manson girls. Listen to us discuss how Squeaky and her friends did make some good points about the environment and capitalism, but all that is really useless when they're walking around in swastica robes. Also threatening to kill so many people wasn't cool either. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bookcult/support

In this episode, Melissa talks shop with Jess Bravin, who covers the Court for the ​Wall Street Journal.​

Rod Blagojevich's release from federal prison last month culminated a nearly two-year campaign to put his case on President Donald Trump's radar. WSJ's Jess Bravin explains how Mark Vargas, a Republican political consultant, pulled it off.

It’s age-old wisdom: Every single new justice creates a brand-new U.S. Supreme Court. But some legal scholars suggest that the court taking shape now, with a conservative majority established by President Trump’s second appointee, could make especially broad changes in the law. Long-established precedents on matters of race, sex, religion, and privacy could be overturned. And the basic structure of our government—the power of the presidency, the limits of regulation, access to the court system itself—could be transformed. If the highest court in the land is about to make major legal history, in what ways will Americans feel the effects? What aspects of our economy, our culture, our work, and our lives are most likely to be disrupted? And if this Supreme Court defers to the most powerful people and institutions in society, will their decisions threaten American democracy—or inspire its revival? UCLA specialist in constitutional law Adam Winkler, University of Chicago legal scholar Justin Driver, and UCLA Law School’s Beth Colgan visited Zócalo to examine how a changing high court could change America. The occasion was a Zócalo/UCLA Downtown event, “How Will the New Supreme Court Change America?” The event, moderated by Jess Bravin, Supreme Court correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, took place at the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy in Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles.

The Sandwich Generation. You may have never heard of it, but we bet you know someone who has experienced it. The Sandwich Generation is defined by the circumstance of financially and physically providing care for a someone older than them (typically a parent, grandparent, older spouse, or an older family member) while at the same time providing financial, physical or emotional care for a someone that’s younger than them (typically a grown child, a grandchild, or a younger sibling). In this podcast, we discuss at length ways to help prevent the very serious challenges of being sandwiched financially, emotionally, and sometimes even physically by your family and loved ones. Are you a caregiver? Are you age 40-59? Do you have children? Are your parents still alive? You don’t want to miss this one. We’re talking to you.

Resources enter for Democracy and Technology (CDT) Top 10 operational impacts of the GDPR (via IAPP) Top 10 operational responses to the GDPR (via IAPP) Security, Privacy & Tech Inquiries Blog by Lukasz Olejnik World without Mind by Franklin Foer News Roundup Trump fails to act on Russian cyberattacks U.S. Cyber Command head Admiral Mike Rogers told the Senate Armed Services Committee that President Trump has yet to give an order to implement measures that would prevent further Russian cyberattacks. This is despite reports last week of Russia's deepening efforts to interfere with American politics. For example, the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology released a report saying that between 2015 and 2017, accounts on social media that were linked to Russian propagandists, tried to influence policies that would undermine U.S. efforts to sell natural gas in Europe where Russia has considerable market share. Also, Reddit reported that thousands shared Russian propaganda on its site, prompting demands for more answers from the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating Tumblr. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is also said to be pursuing a case against Russians who conducted cyberattacks against Democrats during the 2016 election. These charges would be in addition to the ones Mueller has already brought against Russians accused of spreading propaganda on social media, according to NBC News' Ken Dilanian.   But despite the absence of specific directives from the White House to U.S. Cyber Command, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats claimed before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that the White House is taking a “whole government approach” under which the president has tasked the 17 agencies Mr. Coats oversees with addressing the Russian cyber threat.   John Bowden at the Hill reported that Russians also collected Americans' personal data from social media platforms during the 2016 campaign.   On Monday top Democrats including Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Dianne Feinstein wrote a letter to President Trump urging him to extradite the 13 Russian nationals FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted last month for allegedly using social media to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that the extradition would never happen. Ninth Circuit will hear consolidated net neutrality appeal The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is based in San Francisco, will hear the multidistrict litigation initiated by 22 state attorneys general to appeal the Federal Communications Commission's decision to repeal the Obama-era net neutrality rules. The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict litigation chose the Ninth circuit at random. Trump blocks Broadcom acquisition of Qualcomm President Trump has blocked Singapore tech giant Broadcom's acquisition of Qualcomm, citing national security concerns. At $117 billion, the merger of the two chipmakers would have been the biggest tech deal in history. The Verge reports that Broadcom is in the process of moving its headquarters to the U.S. by April 3rd.   Twitter cracks down on ‘Tweetdeckers Twitter purged several accounts for “tweetdecking”, a violation of Twitter's spam policy in which users mass tweet each other's tweets using platforms like Tweetdeck. Some of the accounts that were suspended had millions of followers. A new MIT study also released last week found that fake news travels some 6 times faster on Twitter than the truth. White House holds video game violence meeting  Harper Neidig at the Hill reported on the White House's meeting with video game industry representatives. The president convened the behind-closed-doors meeting to discuss the role of video games in promoting mass shootings. In attendance were representatives from the Parents Television Council, Entertainment Software Association, as well as executives from game makers Rockstar and ZeniMax. The Verge reported that the meeting was largely unproductive and Activision announced the release of its latest ‘Call of Duty' installment on the same day the White House meeting took place. FBI paid Geek Squad employees to inform on Child Pornography Laurel Wamsley at NPR reported that the FBI paid informants at Best Buy's computer repair service unit Geek Squad to flag child pornography found on their customers' computers.The Electronic Frontier Foundation sued the FBI last year about these searches and the new documents illustrate more about the nature of the relationship between the FBI and Geek Squad. FBI Agent Tracey Riley testified in a Jefferson County Kentucky Circuit Court last week confirming that that FBI agents paid Geek Squad workers in a Best Buy store in Kentucky when they found child pornography.  FCC Proposes $1 billion for Caribbean hurricane recovery efforts FCC Chairman Ajit Pai proposed over $1 billion in funding to aid in the recovery of communications networks in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Sixty-four million would go immediately towards restoring networks. The rest, or $954 million, would go towards longer-term projects to enhance broadband networks in the Caribbean. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. Congressional Black Caucus pushes tech on lobbying diversity The Congressional Black Caucus wrote a letter to the Internet Association, CTIA, NCTA and US Telecom urging them to hire and retain more black lobbyists given African-Americans' widespread use of mobile devices. White House joins push for internet sales tax The White House is joining in states' push for the Supreme Court to overturn a 1992 precedent, Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, that held that many online retailers don't have to add sales tax to the prices their customers pay. Thirty-five states support overturning the decision. Online retailers who oppose doing so claim that it would be too onerous to collect taxes from fifty different states. Jess Bravin reports for the Wall Street Journal. Number of Americans affected by Equifax breach keeps growing Equifax's interim Chief Executive Paulino do Rego Barros Jr. announced on Thursday that an additional 2.4 million consumers were affected by their massive data breach last year. It brings the total up to 147.9 million. Brian Fung reports in the Washington Post. House reauthorizes the FCC The House voted to reauthorize the Federal Communications Commission with legislation that seeks to develop 5G networks and invest funds for the spectrum incentive auction. If the bill passes Congress, it will be the first time since 1990 that Congress has reauthorized the Commission. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. Amazon offering 54 percent discount to Medicaid recipients Amazon announced last week that, for Medicaid recipients only, it would cut the monthly Prime subscription down to $5.99 per month. This is $7.00 less than the standard $12.99 fee. The move is seen as an effort by Amazon to attract Walmart customers. MIT study finds Uber & Lyft drivers earn less than minimum wage A new MIT study found that Uber and Lyft drivers earn less on average that minimum wage workers. The report found a median profit of $3.37 per hour before taxes. Ashley May has the report in USA Today.
