Today's Headlines: Former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a two-hour call about ending the war in Ukraine, marked by mutual praise but no concrete progress; despite ongoing Russia-Ukraine talks, Putin showed no interest in a ceasefire or returning seized land, both of which Ukraine considers essential. Meanwhile, Trump signed the bipartisan Take It Down Act, the first federal law targeting non-consensual explicit imagery, including AI deepfakes, requiring removal within 48 hours and allowing for prison time. The FAA avoided disruptions thanks to a recent software update, though it is investigating the cause of a near-outage. The DOJ settled with Ashli Babbitt's family for $5 million over her 2021 Capitol riot shooting, while the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to revoke deportation protections for 350,000 Venezuelans. Finally, the DOJ dropped charges against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for an ICE protest but filed assault charges against Rep. Monica McIver, which she claims are politically motivated.

The All Local for May 20.

In a rare and fiery clash between Congress and the Trump administration, Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey is facing federal assault charges after what her supporters call a chaotic overreach by ICE officers outside the Newark Immigration Detention Center. McIver says she was simply doing her job conducting oversight when Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested trying to join her. The charges against Baraka have quietly been dropped, but McIver is being prosecuted for allegedly elbowing an officer in the crowd. Homeland Security released shaky video footage, but it does not clearly show intent. Democrats are calling foul, accusing Trump's Justice Department of weaponizing law enforcement to silence dissent. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned the charges, calling them a "morally bankrupt attack on legislative oversight." Framing the charges as political retaliation, McIver says she's not backing down — and she's ready for court. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rich notes that Newsom is preparing for a 2028 presidential run and is trying to distance himself from failed, unpopular policies—but don't believe his sudden shift towards political moderation is genuine. 3:30pm- Michael Whatley—Chairman of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the “one big, beautiful bill” being negotiated in the House and Senate which would make Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent. Chairman Whatley also weighs in on the New Jersey gubernatorial election, explaining: “this is a very winnable race.” 3:50pm- During his visit to Qatar on Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that Qatar Airways will be purchasing 210 airplanes from the U.S. manufacturer Boeing. The deal is reportedly worth $200 billion. 3:55pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN's Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden's aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling. While Tapper is reporting on these stories now, why wasn't he doing so prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? 4:05pm- While speaking from Riyadh, President Donald Trump announced that Saudi Arabia will be investing $600 billion in the United States economy—focusing on technology development and including a $142 billion defense sales agreement. During one address, Trump stated of previous administration policies regarding the Middle East: "In the end, the so-called nation-builders wrecked far more nations than they built. And the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they didn't understand themselves." 4:15pm- During an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, President Donald Trump implored Iran to abandon their quest to develop nuclear weapons—noting that during his first administration, strict sanctions on Iran prevented them from funding terror efforts throughout the Middle East. 4:20pm- Should President Trump accept a $400 million plane from Qatar? According to reports, it would replace the current Air Force One—which is nearly 40 years old—and would eventually be gifted to the Trump Presidential Library after Trump leaves office in 2029. Appearing on Fox News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said accepting the gift would be a violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution and is not worth even “the appearance of impropriety.” 4:40pm- Should Rich let Mama Zeoli produce one segment of the show every Friday—where she'll get to select topics? Plus, is Phil Murphy the worst governor in modern New Jersey history. And Rich keeps missing his break times…turns out his clock is broken. 5:00pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka. ICE has released bodycam footage of the altercation which shows Rep. McIver attempting to physically shove past ICE agents. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez threatened Republicans with retaliation if Democrat lawmakers are charged with crimes for their involvement in the Delaney Hall incident. 5:20pm- During Wednesday's House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Departmen ...

6:05pm- According to a report from Fox News Digital, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is taking additional steps to prevent the politicization of intelligence—in the process, she has fired National Intelligence Council acting Chair Mike Collins. 6:20pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN's Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden's aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling.

ICE has released bodycam footage of the altercation which shows Rep. McIver attempting to physically shove past ICE agents. Rich notes that because of the enormous sum of “earned media” surrounding the confrontation, Baraka—a candidate for New Jersey governor—might have a real chance to win the Democratic Party's primary next month.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer met with China's Vice Premier for Economic Policy He Lifeng in Geneva, Switzerland.

U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will be reduced from 145% to 30%, while China's tariffs on American imports will go from 125% to 10%. While speaking from the White House on Monday, President Donald Trump said, “we achieved a total reset with China” and that his administration's negotiators will continue to seek remedies for China's unfair trade policies—which have included currency manipulation, unbalanced trade, and intellectual property theft. 3:15pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka.

Currently, Americans typically pay more per drug than Europeans, for example—despite pharmaceuticals being developed in the United States. 4:10pm- While speaking with the press, President Trump hilariously noted he has a “brilliant businessman” friend who is “seriously overweight” and “takes the fat shot drug.” The friend told Trump that he currently pays significantly more for the drug in the United States than he does in London. But which friend was the president talking about? Matt and Justin speculate that it could be Elon Musk. Chat GPT suggests it could be Chris Christie? No chance. Artificial intelligence has failed us. 4:30pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media: Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) dismisses the idea that we are in a constitutional crisis (despite prompts from Meet the Press's Kristen Welker) + New Jersey Democrats cause a commotion at an ICE detention facility. 5:05pm- Prior to signing an executive order on Monday, President Donald Trump applauded his administration for successfully negotiating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. 5:10pm- Over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer met with China's Vice Premier for Economic Policy He Lifeng in Geneva, Switzerland.

You can learn more here: https://publicinterestlegal.org/press/pilf-files-lawsuit-over-election-related-death-threats/. 6:45pm- Disney Hypocrisy: Disney has announced plans for a new theme park in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates—a city where being gay is illegal. In 2022, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed a state's parental rights bill which Disney criticized and inaccurately referred to as a “Don't Say Gay” bill.

David Waldman throws the news at us and dives for cover. Greg Dworkin tells us that the worst is by design, and he brings the receipts from around the world. Trump makes the world safe for White flight. Donald stopped the war between India and Pakistan using only his mind. He is now wishing the war in Gaza to end. Who's Ukraine? Maybe they got him coffee one time. South Korea's conservatives throw everything up in the air to see if it all falls into place. Germany wishes to ignore their far-right, but they are a noisy bunch. After 40 years, the Kurdish group PKK says, “Oh well, it was worth a try.” In Virginia, they have no one to blame but themselves but probably won't. So, Qatar is sending Trump a giant golden palace of a 747. Hey, can't a country give their buddy a thing without everyone suddenly questioning it? The White House said Ceci n'est pas une émolument, or something to that effect. Anyhow, Trump is only borrowing it until he keeps it... that's not “corrupt”, it's called “being smart”. You'd have to be a radical Left Trump hater to say otherwise. Trump said “tariffs”, setting off another sheep stampede. Time for another executive order to yell at another cloud, this time to demand that prices go down from up where they are. Drug prices should go down once the customer base passes away. James Bond still can rest easy, his car shopping remains tariff-free. Insult to Nazis, Steven Miller, is thinking about suspending habeas corpus, inspiring fantasies of abusing his corpus. David explains habeas corpus, as does just about everyone with a keyboard this morning. We have always been at war with Eastasia. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka refused to take the bait at an ICE detention center, but that didn't keep them from arresting him. He's lucky they didn't send in Seal Team 6.

On todays show we cover covered the case of Hamdi vs. Rumsfeld, where Yaser Esam Hamdi, classified as an enemy combatant, was detained without a hearing. The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 plurality decision, ruled he had the right to an AVS petition and counsel. Justice O'Connor's opinion emphasized due process. The conversation also touched on the potential suspension of habeas corpus, the impact of lab-grown diamonds on the industry, and the recent incident at an ICE facility involving Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and three congressmen. Additionally, the group discussed Trump's potential recognition of a Palestinian state and the legalities of his use of a Qatari jet as a temporary Air Force One. The discussion covered the Palisades fire in California, highlighting the red tape delaying rebuilding permits. Glenn Cox mentioned Donald Trump's criticism of California's regulatory issues. The conversation then shifted to global political moves, including Trump's interactions with various world leaders and his potential strategies to impact oil and gas production and Venezuela's political landscape. Venezuela's temporary permits for Chevron are expiring, and Trump is against renewing them. The segment also touched on the spiritual significance of exit 33 and promoted a coffee shop at that exit, emphasizing its offerings and the potential for social interaction. Don't Miss It.

President Trump said late Saturday that U.S. and Chinese officials had negotiated a "total reset" in their trade relationship during talks in Switzerland. There aren't shortages of goods in U.S. stores yet, but if the deterioration in global shipping is any indication, they are on the way. That could complicate the White House's pleas for Americans to be patient as trade officials rush to strike dozens of deals. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week. He was released hours later and told supporters: "I didn't do anything wrong." When word came of Pope Leo XIV's Chicago roots, witty local comments flooded social media timelines, even from our elected leaders. "Everything dope, including the Pope, comes from Chicago," Mayor Brandon Johnson posted. (Cringe)

This Day in Legal History: Harry Blackmun Confirmed to SCOTUSOn May 12, 1970, the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed Judge Harry A. Blackmun to the Supreme Court, filling the vacancy left by Justice Abe Fortas. Nominated by President Richard Nixon, Blackmun had previously served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and was considered a moderate, scholarly jurist. His confirmation marked the culmination of a tumultuous series of failed nominations for the seat, including two rejections by the Senate, making Blackmun's 94–0 approval a moment of bipartisan relief.Blackmun would go on to serve nearly a quarter-century on the Court, authoring over 700 opinions. He is perhaps best known for writing the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade (1973), which recognized a constitutional right to abortion. The decision would shape political and legal debates for decades and define Blackmun's legacy, despite his broader jurisprudential contributions. Over time, he evolved from a judicial centrist to one of the Court's more liberal voices, especially on issues of individual rights and the death penalty.After retiring in 1994, Blackmun remained active in legal education and public service until his death in 1999. The Library of Congress released his extensive papers in 2004, providing scholars with a revealing look into the internal workings of the Court during his tenure. His former clerks, some of whom became influential legal figures themselves, publicly remembered him for his deep humanity and commitment to justice. Blackmun's confirmation anniversary serves as a reminder of how judicial legacies can transcend the expectations of those who appoint them.U.S. District Judge Susan Illston issued a temporary 14-day halt on the Trump administration's federal government restructuring plan, citing a lack of congressional authorization for mass layoffs and agency overhauls. The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by unions, nonprofits, and local governments opposing the large-scale “reductions in force” initiated by the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), led by Elon Musk. Judge Illston emphasized that the president cannot broadly restructure federal agencies without clear approval from Congress. The plaintiffs submitted extensive evidence showing critical services being disrupted, including nearly complete staff terminations at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Pittsburgh. Similar losses were reported at Head Start, the Farm Service Agency, and the Social Security Administration. Illston found the plaintiffs likely to succeed on the merits of several claims, including violations of administrative law and overreach by DGE, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Office of Personnel Management. The administration's efforts, ordered in February by Trump, aim to automate services, eliminate redundant roles, and reduce federal personnel. Critics argue the changes are destabilizing and harmful to community services. Illston's ruling aims to preserve the status quo while legal challenges proceed, with a hearing on a potential preliminary injunction scheduled for May 22.Judge orders temporary halt to Trump administration's government overhaul | ReutersRumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, returned to Massachusetts after being held for over six weeks in U.S. immigration custody in Louisiana. Her arrest stemmed from a revoked student visa, which the government linked to an opinion piece she co-wrote criticizing Tufts University's response to the war in Gaza and urging divestment from companies tied to Israel. Ozturk was apprehended by masked officers in Somerville, Massachusetts, and was quickly transferred from Vermont to a detention facility in Louisiana. Her legal team, including the ACLU, argued her detention was a retaliatory act against constitutionally protected speech, aimed at silencing pro-Palestinian voices on campus.U.S. District Judge William Sessions granted her release after determining she had strong grounds for claiming her constitutional rights were violated. Upon arrival at Logan International Airport, Ozturk expressed relief and gratitude, thanking supporters and calling attention to other detained women. Representative Ayanna Pressley condemned the detention as a politically motivated act of intimidation, citing inhumane conditions and medical neglect during Ozturk's confinement. The case has drawn national attention amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to deport campus activists engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy.Tufts student returns to Massachusetts after release from immigration custody | ReutersOver the weekend Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and charged with trespassing at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in New Jersey during an unannounced visit by three Democratic members of Congress. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained Baraka after a scuffle at the facility's gate while a bus of detainees was arriving. Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Robert Menendez Jr. were also present and said to have been jostled during the confrontation. According to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, the group's uncoordinated attempt to enter the site was unsafe and politically motivated.Baraka, who is campaigning for governor, stated after his release that he was there to support the lawmakers and did not cross into restricted areas. His supporters and congressional aides claim he remained outside the facility's fence and that ICE exaggerated the incident. DHS accused the group of endangering detainees and law enforcement, while the lawmakers insisted they were exercising lawful oversight powers. The detention center, operated by the GEO Group, has faced criticism from immigrant rights advocates for allegedly lacking local permits and operating against community wishes. The controversy has become entangled in Baraka's gubernatorial campaign, spotlighting tensions over immigration policy and the role of private detention facilities.New Jersey mayor charged with trespassing at US immigration detention center | ReutersPresident Donald Trump announced plans to slash U.S. prescription drug prices to match the lowest prices found internationally, prompting a global selloff in pharmaceutical stocks. In a post touting cuts of “59%, PLUS!,” Trump previewed an executive order mandating a “most-favored nation” pricing rule. This would require that Americans pay no more than citizens in the cheapest country for the same medication—a move that starkly contradicts the administration's prior market-driven rhetoric, now seemingly embracing a form of price fixing. Investors, analysts, and drugmakers scrambled to assess the implications, especially since Medicare and Medicaid represent a major share—around 40%—of U.S. drug spending.The proposed pricing shift offers manufacturers two theoretical paths to comply: lower U.S. drug prices to align with cheaper countries like France or Japan, or raise prices overseas to maintain U.S. revenue levels. It remains unclear which route companies will choose, but economic incentives suggest they'll resist U.S. price drops by inflating foreign costs instead. Trump framed the move as restoring fairness to American consumers, whom he described as having long subsidized global drug development. The executive order follows a prior, unsuccessful attempt during his first term to peg Medicare prices to international benchmarks—a plan struck down in court for procedural flaws.The Inflation Reduction Act already initiated drug price negotiations under President Biden, but Trump's new approach could broaden the scope or accelerate the effort. However, legal and legislative obstacles remain, especially since the administration cannot set prices for the commercial market without congressional support. Analysts are watching closely for whether the policy targets just Medicare, specific drug types, or a wider range. Meanwhile, critics note the contradiction in Trump's newfound support for a centralized pricing strategy after years of decrying government interference in markets.Trump Vows US Drug Price Cuts of Up to 80% in Industry Blow (2) This is a public episode.

From Monday on the Chris Hand Show | Aired on May 12, 2025-----Chris talks on Chikungunya disease and its halted Vaccine by the FDA. Also, footage of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's arrest shows a clash between law enforcement and a group of Democrats including LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.). Many of them break past law enforcement officers rushing towards a bus full of Ilegals being brought in and putting everyone at risk of harm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for trespassing at a federal ICE detention facility he wants to close. He refused to leave when asked, showing politicians' arrogance. Trespassing and refusing to leave leads to arrest, as nobody, including politicians, is above the law. Protesting inside a federal law enforcement center isn't allowed, and while ICE enforces the law, Democrats claim they're unrestrained by it. Interim U.S. Attorney for NJ Alina Habba calls in to explain exactly what happened with the arrest. This is federal property, and the laws can't be broken, no matter who you are.  Also, AG Letitia James dismisses the mortgage fraud allegations against her as unfounded, despite published forms and evidence suggesting criminal activity. Later, 15 states are suing over Trump's order to speed up oil and gas projects. Most likely, a judge will block energy independence. It's time for the Supreme Court to step up against these rogue judges.  There might be a time when Americans defy the courts because they won't respect the rogue activity of these judges.

Baraka says he has received push back from business owners to elected officials but says for him its about saving lives. “It’s about health and data that’s it, that’s the only reason that you should be making a decision. The decision should be about data. If the data is telling you that people are catching this virus at a rapid rate and that the deaths are slowly increasing, then you have to do something, and if what you do doesn’t work then you have to do more.” Baraka says he understand the economic impact of the restrictions, citing he city’s double digit unemployment rate brought on by the pandemic, but

On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Dr. Jack Rasmus, professor of economics at Saint Mary's College of California. A recent New York Law Journal article titled "Deutsche Bank Tells 2nd Circuit It Has Tax Returns of at Least One Trump Family Member," says, "The bank wrote in a letter to the Second Circuit US Court of Appeals that it had the tax returns of someone, or multiple people, targeted by congressional subpoenas, but redacted any identifying information." The bank indicated that it had tax documents for either US President Donald Trump or one of his three eldest children, who have played roles in his business dealings. A decision from the court, which is expected soon, may allow Congress to obtain those filings and other financial records of Trump or his children. Democratic lawmakers have been seeking Trump's tax returns and subpoenaed Deutsche Bank and Capital One, which have had business relationships with the president. Trump, in turn, sued to block the banks from complying with the subpoenas. The banks had until 4 p.m. Tuesday to respond to the subpoenas. What does all this mean?Trump said Monday there's a "really good chance" he could meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on their nuclear impasse after a surprise intervention by French President Emmanuel Macron during the G7 summit to try to bring Washington and Tehran together after decades of conflict. Macron orchestrated the high-stakes gamble to invite Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, whose plane landed at the locked-down airport of the coastal resort of Biarritz during the G-7 meeting. Rouhani on Tuesday dashed hopes of a potential meeting with his US counterpart in the foreseeable future, saying the United States should lift all sanctions before Iran agrees to talks. Also Tuesday, Zarif called the idea of Trump and Rouhani meeting “unimaginable.”Daesh claimed responsibility for a suicide bomb attack at a wedding in Kabul earlier this month that killed 63 people and wounded 182. It has been described as one of the deadliest suicide attacks in years. Since Daesh lost its territorial caliphate in Iraq and Syria, the group has splintered and remains a threat around the region, with several local franchises sprouting up, including in Afghanistan. Is it the fear of Daesh that is motivating the Taliban to negotiate an agreement with the US?Officials are voting Tuesday to decide if Newark, New Jersey, is going to take a multi-million dollar loan to fast track the replacement of lead water pipes as the city's water crisis drags on. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo appeared Monday to announce that the county would issue bonds to extradite the ripping out of around 18,000 outdated pipes. The loans are expected to take a nearly 10-year project and wrap it up in about two-and-a-half years. However, the move is not completely locked in yet, as the Newark City Council, the Essex County Board of Commissioners and the Essex County Freeholders must ratify it.GUESTS:Dr. Jack Rasmus — Professor of economics at Saint Mary's College of California.

January 16, 2018 Cloudy with high temperatures in the mid-30s. Snow possible this evening. AFTER TAKING OATH TODAY, MURPHY EXPECTED TO BRING BIG CHANGES Phil Murphy, a Democrat, will be sworn in today as governor of New Jersey and the state is expected to move to the left as Republican Chris Christie departs, The Washington Post writes. In addition to different political philosophies, Politico.com writes, the two men have vastly different styles, with Murphy being more diplomatic than Christie. But The Wall Street Journal writes that Murphy will still face significant challenges in enacting his progressive agenda because the state has a very tight budget. CHRISTIE SIGNS MORE THAN 100 BILLS, POCKET VETOES OTHERS On his last day in office, Gov. Chris Christie signed more than 100 bills into law, including measures to ban “bump stocks” in New Jersey and to disband the state Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Patch.com reports. Among the bills he didn’t sign was a measure to allow public high schools in the same district to merge sports teams without New Jersey Statewide Interscholastic Athletic Association oversight or review, myCentralJersey.com reports. DEP SAYS IT WON’T CHANGE SEPTIC TANK RULES IN HIGHLANDS The commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection, Bob Martin, says that the Legislature acted outside its constitutional authority when it passed legislation abolishing a rule about the number of septic tanks allowed in the Highlands, NJ Spotlight says. The commissioner will be replaced this week as the administration of Phil Murphy takes over.

More than 600 workers marched through Terminal B then headed over to Terminal C, where they heard from Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Sen. Cory Booker. Workers at the Newark airport make less than their counterparts at John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport because New Jersey’s minimum wage is lower than New York’s. NJ TRANSIT BOARD DELAYS CONTROVERSIAL VOTE A controversial vote on a waterfront real-estate purchase in Hoboken was removed from the NJ Transit board’s agenda Monday, The Record reports. The board had been criticized for scheduling the vote on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. But Hoboken Mayor Ravinder Bhalla said the board’s meeting on the holiday was a “slap in the face” to King’s legacy.
