The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/27/2025): 3:05pm- After the first week of his second term as president, Donald Trump mandated employees of the federal government work in-person, withdrew the nation from the Paris Climate Agreement, withdrew the nation from the World Health Organization (WHO) citing their willingness to cover-up China's COVID-19 transgressions, delayed enforcement of a national ban of TikTok, recognized two genders—male and female, pardoned 1,500 Americans arrested for their actions on January 6th, 2021, expanded domestic energy production, shut down the U.S. Southern border and began deportations of dangerous illegal migrants, and guaranteed free speech on social media. Trump also fulfilled a long-term campaign pledge to focus on meritocracy and pivot away from the prioritization of far-left policies like diversity, equity, and inclusion (D.E.I.) within the federal government. Rich wonders, was this the most consequential first week in modern presidential history? 3:15pm- On Sunday, the Trump Administration arrested nearly 1,000 illegal migrants who have been accused of serious crimes. Comparatively, the Biden Administration averaged 310 arrests per day, according to Axios. The New York Post reports that in a raid over the weekend, federal agents arrested 50 members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in Denver, Colorado. 3:30pm- CIA Says Lab Leak the Likely Origin of COVID-19: Michael R. Gordon and Dustin Volz of The Wall Street Journal write: “The Central Intelligence Agency has now concluded that the deadly Covid-19 pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, lending credibility to a view that has been the focus of sharp debate among scientists and politicians for years. In doing so, the CIA has now joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Energy Department in identifying a laboratory mishap in Wuhan, China, as the probable source of the Covid virus. It has killed more than 1.2 million Americans and over seven million people worldwide.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/cia-now-favors-lab-leak-theory-on-origins-of-covid-19-eff4e67c. 3:40pm- After initially rejecting deportation flights containing Colombian citizens who entered the U.S. illegally, Colombian President Gustavo Perez reversed course—even providing the U.S. with his own presidential plane to assist in the process. After Perez's refusal, President Donald Trump announced he would slap Colombia with a 25% tariff, with the promise it would quickly increase to 50%. The United States is Colombia's largest trading partner. 4:00pm- Robert Bork Jr.—President of the Antitrust Education Project & President of the Bork Communication Group—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Federal Trade Commission in the Trump Administration. Will antitrust concerns persist over Microsoft's $13 billion investment in OpenAI? Could hypothetical overregulation of artificial intelligence harm American innovation—potentially allowing for foreign adversaries to better compete in the emerging industry? Plus, Bork reacts to Nvidia stock falling 17%, wiping out nearly $600 billion in market value. 4:30pm- Last week, prior to the NFC Championship game, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker misspelled “Eagles” while leading a chant to support the hometown team. Yesterday, the Eagles dominated the Washington Commanders, 55 to 23. But today, Parker spelled the team's name properly—did she just jinx the whole city right before the Super Bowl? 4:40pm- While appearing on NPR, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner stated that he is exploring the possibility of filing local charges against Pennsylvanians who unlawfully entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 despite President Donald Trump's recent pardons.

In the early 1930s, at the height of the atonal and twelve tone movement in music, the American violinist Louis Krasner commissioned a concerto from the Viennese Composer Alban Berg. Berg declined at first, saying that his idiom was not appropriate to a concerto and that he did not belong in the world of Wienawski and Vieuxtemps, two relatively obscure composers nowadays who wrote virtuoso showpieces for the violin that are very exciting but not particularly deep on a musical level. Krasner countered with the Beethoven and Brahms' violin concertos, which, frankly, is a pretty great argument! Krasner was convinced that Berg was the vessel through which 12 tone/serial music could reach, as the great writer Michael Sternberg called it, “it's expressive potential.” The 12 tone/serial technique of writing music was still controversial at the time(and it remains that way now), with many composers and performers embracing atonal music, with others, especially audiences, turning away. Berg finally accepted the commission, and despite his normal slow pace of composing, wrote the concerto in just a few months. The piece fulfilled Krasner's expectations, and more, and it has become almost a standard repertoire piece for violinists. It is in the twelve tone style, but it is also in many ways a fundamentally tonal piece, and the way that Berg passes through atonality to tonality and back again makes this concerto accessible in a way that many other atonal works are not at first hearing. Today on this Patreon and Fundraiser inspired show, we're going to go through this concerto, first by starting with a crash course in 12 tone music. Then we'll walk our way through this concerto, talking about tone rows, tonality within tone rows, Carinthian folk songs, life and death, Manon Gropius, Alma Mahler, Bach, and the memory of angels. All of this is contained inside of this remarkable piece, and we'll talk all about it, and more. Join us!

This Day in Legal History: Saddam Hussein Sentenced to DeathOn November 5, 2006, Saddam Hussein, former President of Iraq, was sentenced to death by hanging by the Iraqi High Tribunal. This judgment followed a lengthy trial process in which Hussein was found guilty of crimes against humanity, including the 1982 mass killing of 148 Shiite Muslims in the town of Dujail. The Dujail massacre was carried out in response to a failed assassination attempt on Hussein, leading to mass arrests, torture, and the destruction of local farmland. Hussein's trial, held in Baghdad, was one of the most closely watched and controversial trials of its time, bringing international focus on Iraq's fledgling judicial system and the challenges it faced in balancing fairness with the demand for justice.The trial faced various disruptions, including assassinations of defense lawyers, allegations of bias, and criticisms regarding procedural flaws. Hussein himself was often defiant in court, questioning the legitimacy of the tribunal and claiming that his actions as president were lawful under Iraqi sovereignty. Despite these defenses, the court concluded that the atrocities committed in Dujail warranted the ultimate penalty. Hussein's sentence and subsequent execution on December 30, 2006, marked a historic moment, as it was one of the few instances in modern history where a former head of state was tried, sentenced, and executed by his own country's judiciary. While some viewed the trial and execution as a symbol of justice for Iraq, others criticized it as a rushed process influenced by U.S. political interests in the region. The execution, carried out on a holy day for Muslims, further polarized public opinion and left a complex legacy, both within Iraq and internationally.As the 2024 U.S. presidential election nears, the Supreme Court is preparing for a potential influx of election-related litigation, echoing the post-2020 legal battles when Donald Trump and his allies challenged his loss to Joe Biden. Although the Supreme Court largely dismissed Trump's 2020 appeals, legal experts anticipate another wave of lawsuits if the upcoming race, currently tight according to polls, results in a Trump loss. Already, some cases have reached the Supreme Court, including one involving Pennsylvania mail-in ballots—an issue also contested in 2020.The court's conservative majority, which includes three Trump appointees, may face pressure to rule on election-related disputes. Although the Supreme Court recently provided Trump some legal wins, including reversing a Colorado ruling disqualifying him from the ballot, experts doubt it will intervene to decide the election outcome unless it is extremely close. Nonetheless, lawsuits have proliferated, with the Republican National Committee leading numerous pre-election suits, ostensibly for election integrity, though many have not succeeded in court.The 2022 Electoral Count Reform Act also limits post-election legal disruptions by refining the process for certifying election results in Congress. Experts suggest that, despite the possible involvement of the court in narrow-margin scenarios, the current legal activity may be more focused on influencing public perception, potentially to undermine acceptance of the election's legitimacy.US Supreme Court girds for rush of election-related litigation | ReutersOn November 4, 2024, a Pennsylvania judge ruled that Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day voter giveaway could continue despite allegations that it might constitute an illegal lottery. Musk's pro-Trump America PAC launched the giveaway to voters in key swing states, offering daily payouts to those who sign a petition supporting free speech and gun rights. However, during court proceedings, America PAC's director admitted that winners were selected based on their suitability as spokespeople, rather than by random drawing as initially claimed by Musk.Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner argued that the selective nature of the giveaway constitutes fraud and sought to block it, citing vague rules and potential violations of federal law prohibiting payments for voter registration. Although the judge denied Krasner's request to halt the contest, he did not immediately provide a detailed explanation.Legal experts are divided on whether this promotion violates election laws, particularly given the Department of Justice's prior warnings to America PAC. Critics argue that the payouts could distort the election process, as Pennsylvania's electoral votes are pivotal in this closely contested race.Pennsylvania judge allows Elon Musk's $1 million voter giveaway | ReutersOn November 4, 2024, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that Cobb County cannot extend its deadline for counting approximately 3,000 absentee ballots sent out shortly before Election Day, a decision that aligns with the Republican National Committee's (RNC) stance and benefits Donald Trump's campaign. This ruling overturns a lower court's extension that would have allowed ballots to be counted through Friday, limiting the count only to ballots arriving by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Civil rights groups had sought an extension, arguing the county delayed ballot mailings due to high demand, potentially disenfranchising affected voters. However, the RNC argued that extending the deadline would violate Georgia law. Cobb County, a racially diverse area in Atlanta's suburbs, is seen as a crucial battleground, having leaned Democratic in recent elections. The court also ordered that ballots arriving after the deadline be set aside, though affected voters can still vote in person on Election Day. Georgia's decision may significantly impact the presidential race, as the state is critical in the close contest between Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.Georgia top court won't extend ballot deadline in win for Trump | ReutersElection Op-EdAs you head to the polls today, I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. You have to decide that for yourself. Instead, I'd like to offer a few brief anecdotes from the past to think about. This election cycle, debates over sporting events and who gets to participate in them have taken center stage in a way that feels unprecedented. Yet, the arguments for exclusion are far from new—they have a long and disturbing history. Time and again, appeals to "fairness," "tradition," and "protecting the game" have been used to justify keeping certain groups out of sports. In the full light of history, it is clear: among right minded individuals, these arguments have consistently aged poorly, serving only to reveal the bias and fear underlying them, and the misguided thoughts of the time, rather than any genuine concern for the sport itself.In short, concerns about "outsiders" or "unqualified" individuals entering sports aren't new. Over the years, similar arguments have been used repeatedly to exclude certain groups from competing, often with claims about preserving the integrity or "purity" of the game–usually by folks that care little about sport and are more interested in using it as a cudgel against the vulnerable. I wonder if these arguments sound familiar: * Some argued that a new group would "ruin the quality" of the game;* Others that their participation would be "unfair" to other players; * Still others insisted that they would "lack the skills" needed to succeed at the highest level;* Some insisted their presence would "change the culture" of the sport;* Or their presence would be a “distraction” to fans and players alike. Those were all arguments made before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. I wonder if they sound similar to arguments made today. When a politician runs on a platform that they will keep a given sport “pure” — ask yourself, what is more likely: are they great patrons of women's sports or are they using them as a weapon to attack the vulnerable and achieve their own ends?I don't know about you, but when I heard Jackie Robinson's story as a kid I always envisioned myself, in my most ambitious moments, as one of the players that would have embraced him. When I was a bit more introspective regarding my own talents and abilities, I envisioned myself as a fan that would cheer when he took the field – not a heckler. And I can honestly say I never pictured myself as a baseball executive that would have actively worked to exclude him, and players like him. If history doesn't repeat itself but rhymes, it may be worth considering what from history rhymes with the political positions of your chosen candidate when you go to vote today.  This is a public episode.

In today's episode, we dive deep into the recent ruling allowing Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day voter giveaway to continue through Election Day. This unprecedented promotion, run by Musk's pro-Trump political action committee, America PAC, is offering daily million-dollar payouts to selected voters in key battleground states. But with allegations of election interference, accusations of illegal lotteries, and a race against Election Day, Musk's program faces serious scrutiny. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has taken a firm stand against the giveaway, calling it a “scam” to sway the election, but a Pennsylvania judge ruled to let it proceed. We'll unpack the legal arguments, hear from key players, and explore the potential fallout as Election Day approaches. Questions We'll Answer in This Episode: What makes Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day giveaway so controversial, and why is it drawing legal challenges? How does America PAC choose its recipients, and are they truly “random,” as Musk initially claimed? What are the implications of this giveaway in the final days of a highly contested election? Key Topics Discussed: Background on the Giveaway: America PAC, founded by Musk, has awarded $1 million daily to registered voters in swing states who sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. This initiative launched on October 19 and is set to conclude on Election Day. Legal Battle in Pennsylvania: Philadelphia's District Attorney, Larry Krasner, argues the giveaway is an illegal lottery designed to influence voters. Krasner's lawsuit sought an emergency halt to the program, but Judge Angelo Foglietta allowed it to continue, stating he would explain his reasoning in a forthcoming order. America PAC's Defense: America PAC claims its $1 million recipients are not randomly chosen, as Musk initially stated, but are selected based on their suitability as spokespeople for the PAC's pro-Trump values. Musk's legal team argues this makes the payments “salaries” rather than lottery prizes, sidestepping Pennsylvania's lottery laws. How Recipients are Selected: Chris Young, America PAC's director, testified that recipients are vetted through background checks, social media reviews, and in-person meetings. He emphasized the organization's intention to recruit individuals whose values align with the PAC's political message. Conflicting Messages: Musk's previous comments suggested a random selection process, a claim that sparked further scrutiny. A video from an October rally captured Musk describing the giveaway as a random drawing, despite America PAC's assertion that winners are carefully chosen. Federal Concerns: The U.S. Department of Justice issued a warning to Musk's PAC, noting that the program may violate federal laws against paying voters. Although federal prosecutors have not taken action, the warning has raised questions about the giveaway's legality under election law. America PAC's Impact on Swing States: Musk's financial backing has elevated America PAC's influence in critical battlegrounds where the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump remains close. With $120 million from Musk, America PAC has awarded $17 million to swing-state voters. Closing Argument from Krasner's Office: Prosecutors argue the giveaway is a sophisticated scheme to sway the election by misleading voters about the nature of the payments. Krasner described the defense's explanations as “amazingly disingenuous,” arguing the PAC is skirting the law. Conclusion of the Program: As Election Day marks the final day of the contest, no additional payments will be made in Pennsylvania. The judge confirmed with both parties that the promotion would end as scheduled. Key Quotes: “The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance.” – Chris Gober, attorney for Musk “It's about the most amazingly disingenuous defense I've heard in recent times.” – Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner

Election litigation is well underway in Pennsylvania, even before election day. The Trump campaign has already racked up a win, since they decided that early voting is … good now?

Philadelphia's District Attorney Larry Krasner is challenging a million-dollar-a-day sweepstakes run by Elon Musk's political group, America PAC. The sweepstakes aims to rally support for Donald Trump in key battleground states by offering cash prizes to participants who sign a petition backing the Constitution. On Thursday, Judge Angelo Foglietta heard the case in Philadelphia, despite Musk's lawyers filing to move it to federal court, arguing it's a national election issue. Krasner filed a lawsuit Monday, saying Musk's sweepstakes may be an illegal lottery and raises concerns about election interference. He hinted at potential criminal charges, citing his duty to protect public trust in elections. Musk, who owns Tesla, SpaceX, and X, has contributed over $70 million to support Trump and his and other Republicans, insisting this election is crucial for the future of civilization. The sweepstakes, Musk claims, is legal, but election experts are questioning if it crosses the line by potentially paying people to influence their votes. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, Dawn led off the Dawn Stensland Show by offering updates on breaking news, telling that at 10AM ET the case filed by DA Larry Krasner against billionaire Elon Musk for his million-dollar giveaway would be heard in a Philadelphia court. Dawn plays back some live updates from down at the court house, and tells that she was stuck in traffic, wondering whether Krasner's call for extra security had anything to do with the gridlock. Then, Dawn welcomes in Linda Kerns, Pennsylvania Election Integrity Counsel for the RNC, back onto the Dawn Stensland Show for an update on her continued effort to keep this upcoming presidential election clean from any questions. This comes on the heels of multiple instances arising throughout the state of questionable behavior, particularly with the new mail-in balloting rules with counties shutting down lines when they shouldn't have.

This Day in Legal History: Nevada Joins the Union by TelegraphOn October 31, 1864, Nevada was admitted as the 36th state of the United States, a remarkable feat as the entire Nevada state constitution was sent to Washington, D.C. by telegraph. This move, a workaround to secure swift approval, resulted in the longest and most costly telegram of its time, spanning over 16,000 words. Nevada's expedited entry into the Union was driven by urgent political motivations: President Abraham Lincoln, up for re-election, sought the state's support for his war policies and for the proposed 13th Amendment, which aimed to abolish slavery nationwide. The telegram cost nearly $4,000, a vast sum at the time, equivalent to over $65,000 today, underscoring the importance of Nevada's statehood in the context of the Civil War and the Union's priorities.Nevadans had moved quickly to draft their constitution, striving to meet the requirements for statehood by the October deadline. Officials feared delays from the traditional route of sending documents by train or stagecoach, so they opted for the more reliable telegraph, despite the high expense. On the eve of Lincoln's re-election campaign, Nevada's admission helped solidify the Union's stance and reflected Lincoln's strategy to add states sympathetic to his policies. With the telegraphed constitution, Nevada became a “battle-born” state, joining the Union at a time when its allegiance to the Union cause was invaluable. The U.S. Supreme Court recently allowed Virginia to remove around 1,600 voters from its rolls just before an election, stirring criticism from voting rights advocates who called it a misuse of the shadow docket. The decision stayed lower court rulings that found Virginia's policy violated federal law by not respecting a required 90-day "quiet period" before elections, during which systematic voter removals are prohibited. Although the court's conservative majority approved the purge, neither the majority nor dissenting justices explained their reasoning, leaving observers unclear if the decision was based on a legal disagreement or if it was influenced by the Purcell principle, which discourages election-related changes close to voting.The case stemmed from an August executive order by Governor Glenn Youngkin mandating daily voter roll updates based on DMV citizenship data, shifting from a monthly process. Lower courts had sided with the Biden administration and voting groups in blocking this purge, but the Supreme Court's quick, unexplained intervention left little clarity. Critics argue that such opaque, rapid rulings—typical of the shadow docket—are problematic, as they provide no legal guidance and can cause voter confusion, particularly given that such actions seem to contradict the Purcell principle, meant to avoid last-minute electoral disruptions.Justices Cause Confusion With No Voting Purge Ruling ExplanationThe Trump campaign filed a lawsuit against Bucks County, Pennsylvania, alleging that election officials turned away voters attempting to request mail-in ballots. According to claims circulated by Trump supporters on social media, some voters left empty-handed after waiting in long lines. County officials attributed the issues to a "miscommunication" and said that people briefly were told they couldn't be accommodated. Pennsylvania Judge Jeffrey G. Trauger granted a preliminary injunction extending the deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot to November 1, finding that the county's actions violated the state's election code.In Pennsylvania, there is no early in-person voting, but voters can apply for mail-in ballots in person, which led to long lines at Bucks County application sites. The lawsuit, supported by the Republican National Committee, the Pennsylvania GOP, and Senate candidate David McCormick, is part of broader efforts in the key battleground state, where polls show close competition between Trump and Kamala Harris. County officials clarified that voters in line by 5 p.m. would be accommodated and assured voters they could pick up their mail-in ballots later in the week if needed.Trump Campaign Sues in Philly Suburb Over Mail-In Ballots (1)Elon Musk has been summoned to a Pennsylvania court regarding Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's attempt to halt Musk's $1 million-a-day giveaway aimed at registered voters in swing states before the November 5 U.S. election. The giveaway, backed by Musk and America PAC, offers cash to randomly selected individuals who sign a petition supporting free speech and gun rights, as long as they are registered voters in key states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Krasner's lawsuit claims the program constitutes an “illegal lottery” unauthorized by the state and suggests it violates consumer protection laws by allegedly misrepresenting the rules.The legal challenge, set to be addressed by Judge Angelo Foglietta, focuses on state law violations, though legal experts note potential federal implications if the initiative is seen as incentivizing voter registration or influence. Although the U.S. Department of Justice warned Musk's group about possible federal issues, no federal charges have been filed. The initiative has become a major component of Trump's campaign, with Musk providing significant financial backing and voicing public support for the former president.Musk due in court as $1 million voter giveaway faces courtroom test | ReutersA new lawsuit reveals tensions over legal fee-sharing following a massive $5.6 billion settlement in an antitrust case against Visa and MasterCard over credit card swipe fees. Scott + Scott, a law firm involved in the case, is suing co-counsel Robins Kaplan for allegedly reneging on an agreement to pay Scott + Scott $5 million from its share of the settlement fees, ensuring the firm would receive $20 million. This dispute stems from a 2015 informal fee-sharing agreement tied to another case where Robins Kaplan received $50 million in fees.Last year, the 2nd Circuit upheld the $523.2 million attorney fees in the Visa-MasterCard case, allocated to several law firms involved. However, Scott + Scott claims it was only allocated $15 million by Robbins Geller and that Robins Kaplan is now refusing to pay the agreed $5 million difference. The case highlights how class action firms sometimes rely on informal agreements to share fees, which are typically not disclosed. Legal experts note that courts prefer to avoid such disputes after approving settlements and fees. Additionally, Scott + Scott's lawsuit may be complicated by the involvement of Patrick Coughlin, an antitrust lawyer who previously worked with Robbins Geller but later joined Scott + Scott.Legal Fee Tracker: Lawsuit reveals fight over awards after $5.6 bln 'swipe fees' settlement | Reuters This is a public episode.
