This Day in Legal History: Lincoln Signs the Second Confiscation ActOn July 17, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Second Confiscation Act into law, marking a significant legal development during the Civil War. This act allowed for the seizure of property owned by individuals engaged in rebellion against the Union. Unlike previous measures, it did not require due process or provide an opportunity for the accused to defend themselves. The act targeted Confederate supporters, intending to weaken the rebellion by stripping resources from those aiding the Confederate cause. The legislation also declared that enslaved people who escaped from rebel owners or were captured by Union forces would be considered free. This move was a precursor to the Emancipation Proclamation and signaled a shift in Union policy towards a more aggressive stance against slavery. The Second Confiscation Act was controversial, as it raised significant legal and constitutional questions regarding property rights and due process. Critics argued it overstepped executive powers and violated the Fifth Amendment.Despite these concerns, the act was a critical step in undermining the Confederate war effort and advancing the Union's moral and strategic objectives. It reflected the growing commitment of the Lincoln administration to not only preserve the Union but also to end slavery. The Second Confiscation Act thus played a pivotal role in the broader legal and political landscape of the Civil War.President Joe Biden is preparing to introduce proposals for significant Supreme Court reforms, including imposing term limits on justices, who currently serve for life. This marks a notable shift for Biden, who has previously resisted such reforms despite pressure from within his party. The proposals also include an enforceable ethics code for justices and a constitutional amendment to overturn a recent Supreme Court decision granting broad immunity to presidents for official actions.However, these changes are expected to face considerable challenges in becoming law, especially with Congress unlikely to address major legislation before the upcoming election. Biden's proposals come amidst a tight race against former President Donald Trump, who leads in public opinion polls. Congressional Republicans are expected to oppose the reforms, viewing the current conservative Supreme Court as a significant political achievement.The White House has yet to consult with key lawmakers about the plans, and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has declined to comment. Biden hinted at these proposals in a recent call with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, aiming to garner support after a poor performance in a presidential debate. The Democratic push for Supreme Court reform has grown following several controversial rulings, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the rejection of Biden's student loan cancellation plan. Justice Clarence Thomas has also faced scrutiny for not disclosing expensive gifts from conservative donors. The court's decision granting presidential immunity for official acts has further complicated efforts to prosecute Trump. Biden criticized this decision, arguing it contradicts the founders' intentions. In response, Trump accused Democrats of undermining the Supreme Court and interfering in the presidential election. Biden to Propose Supreme Court Reforms, Including Term LimitsBiden seriously considering proposals on Supreme Court term limits, ethics code, AP sources sayFederal prosecutors in Alaska have identified 23 criminal cases with potential conflicts of interest involving former U.S. District Judge Joshua Kindred, who resigned following sexual misconduct allegations. The 9th Circuit Judicial Council reprimanded Kindred for creating a hostile work environment and engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a law clerk. Although the clerk did not work on cases before Kindred, potential conflicts existed in other cases.Bryan Wilson, head of the U.S. Attorney's Office's criminal division, detailed the conflicts in an email to Alaska's federal public defender. These conflicts included interactions between Kindred and several attorneys, such as a senior prosecutor who sent him nude photos and another attorney who exchanged flirtatious texts. These undisclosed conflicts could lead defense lawyers to challenge convictions or sentences from cases Kindred oversaw.The U.S. Attorney's Office had taken steps to mitigate conflicts since late 2022 by notifying the district's chief judge and reassigning cases from Kindred. However, Federal Public Defender Jamie McGrady criticized the office for not disclosing the conflicts sooner and noted that the recusal of Kindred did not eliminate prejudice against defendants. Her office plans to investigate all cases involving attorneys who interacted with Kindred to ensure justice.Former Alaska judge had potential conflicts in 23 cases, prosecutors say | ReutersA federal appeals court ruled that Minnesota's law requiring individuals to be at least 21 to obtain a permit to carry a handgun in public for self-defense is unconstitutional. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found the law violated the Second Amendment rights of 18- to 20-year-olds. U.S. Circuit Judge Duane Benton, writing for the panel, emphasized that the Second Amendment does not specify an age limit.The court upheld a previous ruling in favor of the Second Amendment Foundation, the Firearms Policy Coalition, and the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, which had challenged the law. The decision referenced the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which set a new standard for evaluating firearm regulations, stating they must align with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation.Judge Benton noted that Minnesota failed to show that 18- to 20-year-olds posed specific risks that justified the age restriction. Despite this, the Supreme Court had recently upheld a federal ban on gun possession for individuals under domestic violence restraining orders, indicating that certain modern firearm restrictions could be valid without historical precedent.Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison expressed disappointment with the ruling, arguing it complicates efforts to reduce shootings and enhance public safety. This decision is part of a broader trend of gun rights groups challenging age-based firearm restrictions in various states.Minnesota cannot bar adults under 21 from carrying guns, court rules | ReutersTesla has replaced its long-time law firm, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, with Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr in a California class action antitrust case. This change, noted in court records, comes as Tesla faces allegations of monopolizing the market for vehicle parts and services, which has purportedly led to consumers paying higher prices. The reason for the switch was not disclosed, and neither Tesla nor the involved law firms commented.The class action case saw a significant development in June when a judge refused to dismiss the claims against Tesla. Shortly thereafter, Wilmer attorneys made their debut appearance for Tesla, continuing to deny the plaintiffs' allegations. Tesla and Musk have a history of legal representation by both Cravath and Wilmer in various high-profile cases.Musk is also represented by Cravath in a Delaware lawsuit challenging his $56 billion pay package, a case that faced a setback in January when a judge invalidated the compensation. Despite a shareholder vote in favor of Musk's pay in June, the Delaware litigation continues, with Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan recently joining the defense team.Wilmer is defending Tesla in another antitrust lawsuit in New Orleans, where it seeks to overturn a ban on direct-to-consumer car sales. The new Wilmer team for the California case includes partners David Gringer and Ari Holtzblatt, while the departing Cravath team comprised David Marriott and Vanessa Lavely.Tesla swaps law firms in antitrust case as Cravath exits | ReutersThe questioning of former bankruptcy judge David R. Jones, who resigned after revealing a secret relationship with a partner at Texas law firm Jackson Walker, has been postponed. The US Trustee's office is investigating to recover over $13 million in fees Jones approved for Jackson Walker without disclosing the relationship. Chief Judge Eduardo V. Rodriguez of the Houston bankruptcy court is deliberating on whether the questions about Jones' recusal decisions and his relationship with the attorney violate judiciary policy.Jones, who resigned last year, had a relationship with Elizabeth Freeman, who left Jackson Walker in late 2022. The deposition, originally set for July 18, is on hold until Judge Rodriguez determines the appropriateness of the questions. Jones' attorney, Benjamin I. Finestone, argues that questions about Jones' conduct are a distraction and that the focus should be on what Jackson Walker knew about the relationship.Jackson Walker's attorney, Jason Lee Boland, asserts that understanding the timeline of Jones and Freeman's relationship is crucial for defending against the US Trustee's efforts to reclaim the fees. Judge Rodriguez emphasized the complexity of addressing questions about judges' recusal decisions, stating that such decisions should not be publicly questioned. US Trustee attorney Laura Steele argued that Jones' public statements about his recusals allow for relevant inquiries.The case, known as Professional Fee Matters Concerning the Jackson Walker Law Firm, continues as the court navigates the boundaries of questioning a judge's conduct and recusal decisions.Bankruptcy Court Likely to Pare Back Probe into Ex-Judge Romance This is a public episode.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (07/08/2024): 3:05pm- Following Joe Biden's disastrous CNN debate performance last month, several prominent Democrats have expressed doubt as to whether it's in the party's best interest to keep Biden as their presidential nominee.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (07/09/2024): 3:05pm- During a chaotic White House press briefing on Monday, reporters grilled Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre over a report that a Parkinson's disease specialist has visited the White House multiple times in recent months. Tuesday's presser didn't go much better. Jean Pierre blamed Biden's poor debate performance on a cold and emphasized it was not the result of a neurological disorder. She went on to explain that the president immediately visited North Carolina, Georgia, New York, and New Jersey—illustrating his strength. So, was he just spreading his germs to potential voters? Despite spending a considerable amount of time attempting to claim President Biden is in perfect health, Jean Pierre was unable to provide a reasonable explanation as to why a Parkinson's doctor has visited the White House so frequently. Is the White House participating in a massive cover-up? 3:25pm- In a new piece documenting White House aides hiding President Joe Biden's diminishing health from the public, the Wall Street Journal writes of one previously undocumented incident: “German officials, aware of Biden's fatigue at night, sought to accommodate the president by planning a June 2022 event with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the early evening. The informal event, a soiree at the Alpine resort Schloss Elmau during the Group of Seven summit, was arranged as a confidential meeting on Ukraine in a relaxed setting. Biden didn't show, surprising the chancellor and his aides, officials said. Instead, Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived and announced that Biden had to go to bed, according to two people who were there.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/joe-biden-age-public-election-campaign-343a47bf?mod=hp_lead_pos7 3:30pm- During Tuesday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre claimed that “if I have said, or misled in something that I have said—or I haven't had the full information, I actually own up to it.” But as Rich notes, she has participated in weeks and weeks of gaslighting—amounting to a cover-up. 3:45pm- At one point during Tuesday's White House press conference, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked: “Say the Pentagon, at some point, picks up an incoming nuke—it's 11pm. Who do you call? The First Lady?” 4:05pm- In his latest opinion article for The Wall Street Journal, former Counsel to the Chairman of the Federal Election Commission Charlie Spies writes: “If [President Joe] Biden drops out before the Democratic Party formally makes him its nominee, then Federal Election Commission rules dictate that no more than $2,000 of any campaign funds that he raised may be transferred to any other candidate, including [Vice President Kamala] Harris.” You can read the full op-ed here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-has-100-million-reasons-to-stay-in-election-finance-d8a2dfdf?mod=opinion_lead_pos5 4:20pm- While speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested that if Democrats remove Joe Biden at the top of their ticket it'll be Kamala Harris that takes his place. 4:30pm- Daniel Chaitlin of The Daily Wire reports: “President Joe Biden formally rejected on Monday a bill in Congress that would require individuals to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office. A policy statement from the Biden administration said it ‘strongly opposes' the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which was introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) earlier this year and is expected to get a vote in the Republican-led House as early as this week, but did not mention the prospect of a veto.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-formally-opposes-bill-requiring-voters-prove-citizenship?topStoryPosition=3 4:50pm- Who will Donald Trump pick to be his running mate?

Plus, why is Matt not invited to the White House Easter Egg Roll? 5:05pm- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Congresswoman Veronica Escobar reiterated their support for President Joe Biden's reelection campaign when asked by the press. Notably, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal said “she's not here to give advice” to her colleagues and that discussions about Biden's ability to serve as president for another four-years should be made in “private.” 5:15pm- J.D. Tuccille of Reason.com writes that “the New York State government agreed to subsidize news media.” He continues: “With audiences declining for news reports, many very concerned people have called on governments to do something to prop up outlets failing to win enough public support to keep the lights on. That something comes in the form of money unlikely to win back an indifferent public but that stabilizes employment prospects for reporters. The result may be that journalists will cater to state officials rather than woo readers and viewers.” You can read the full article here: https://reason.com/2024/07/08/if-you-dont-trust-media-now-wait-until-its-government-funded/ 5:35pm- Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said that it was not uncommon for First Lady Jill Biden to attend meetings with President Joe Biden. 5:40pm- At one point during Tuesday's White House press conference, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked: “Say the Pentagon, at some point, picks up an incoming nuke—it's 11pm.

Cori Bush is still crazy. 6:15pm- While appearing on The View, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer confirmed that she would support Kamala Harris were she to become the Democrat party's presidential nominee. 6:20pm- CNN Political Director David Chalian examined polling data post-presidential debate, revealing: “Pre-debate, Donald Trump had a two-point edge in a poll...49% to 47%. That's a pretty close race. You see post-debate Donald Trump has stayed the same. He didn't grow his support with the debate, but Joe Biden took on some water. He is down to 44%. And that's a five-point lead in the poll for Donald Trump…But we are now talking about the light blue states, perhaps Minnesota, Virginia, New Mexico that are leaning Democratic.” He also explained that Trump now has a 10% advantage with independent voters.  6:35pm- First Lady Jill Biden now has her own entrance music…and it's just as terrible as you're imagining. One caller suggests it sounds like something Oompa Loompas would dance to. Hey look! There is Augustus Gloop! 6:40pm- While speaking before the House Financial Services Committee, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen denied that Joe Biden's cabinet members have ever considered invoking the 25th Amendment to replace him.

Newsmax Chief White House Correspondent James Rosen joins Victoria with a fun and enlightening conversation about life in the White House briefing room, what it's like to be the de facto arch-nemesis of Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and his career as an author, namely his multi-volume biography of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, as well as his research into the facts beyond the conspiracy theories relating to the Watergate Scandal.

(AURN News) - In a White House press briefing this week, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre highlighted President Biden's success in appointing a more diverse federal judiciary, an issue of particular importance to the nation's Black community. "We've confirmed more Black women to circuit courts than all previous presidents combined," Jean-Pierre stated with evident pride. Her remarks underscored the Biden administration's efforts to build a bench that better reflects America's racial makeup after decades of underrepresentation. “One of the biggest priority of the President is nominating and confirming extraordinarily qualified men and women who are dedicated to our Constitution and who represent the diversity of America. Thanks to his hard work and our partnership with the Senate, we are at 200 judicial confirmations, which is monumental news for the rule of law and the American people,” she said. The statistics are striking - more than 60% of Biden's judicial nominees have been women, and an equal percentage have been people of color. The Biden administration also made clear their policy priorities in the nomination process. "These judges will rule on issues critical to fundamental freedoms: reproductive healthcare, the freedom to cast ballots, whether workers have the freedom to unionize, whether children have the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water,” Jean-Pierre said.

On today's show, I open with a personal story that just happened to me today. My love and support of the US Constitution was questioned and then I was called a fraud and a con-artist. So, after putting the bit of nonsense to bed, we dive into my stack of stuff. Citizen journalist Toria Brooke released a story where she transcribes an interview with former People's Deputy of Ukraine, Andrii Derkach, where he says they have proof that Biden family member affiliates are complicit in blowing up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and funding other terrorist activities. To remind you of what I said about the pipeline back in the fall of 2022, I play back-to-back bites of Victoria Nuland and Joe Biden, both promising to “end” the pipeline if Russia invades Ukraine. AG Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray announced this week a brand new censorship program just in time for the 2024 election cycle. Michael Cohen may have once again committed perjury on the stand in the Alvin Bragg case against Donald Trump. To add to this, I remind you what Cohen's attorney once said when he was trying to work with Cohen on a plea deal. At least 10 times, Cohen said, “I swear to God, Bob, I don't have anything on Donald Trump.” So, I turn to my friend, Jim Gossett, to play a little tune. While on the subject of Cohen, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about Speaker Johnson attending part of the court case. Rather than just say she has no idea, she literally said she could not discuss it because it was “in relation to the 2024 election.” Did she just admit this was, in fact, White House endorsed lawfare on Donald Trump? The House Oversight Committee just released a memo stating HHS was suspending funding and proposing formal debarment of EcoHealth Alliance. That's the 3rd party company Dr. Anthony Fauci funneled money into so it could then flow to the Wuhan Lab in China for gain-of-function research. Bad news for New Yorker Dexter Taylor. The self-taught gunsmith has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his hobby. Riley Gaines weighs in the suit in court from a sorority that was forced to accept a biological male. The arguments made in the opening day are but hysterical and sad at the same time. President Joe Biden produced a video of him challenging Donald Trump to a debate. With my background as the owner of a video production company, I breakdown the difference of something produced versus live. And, to top it off, if the first debate is really set for June 27, that would mean it is taking place after the 3-day trial in Florida where Trumps team is going to present evidence of Biden's White House colluding with NARA and the DOJ to manufacture the documents case.

The White House refrained from expressing a stance on potential pardon requests, emphasizing a commitment to impartiality in matters of justice.  When questioned about calls for President Joe Biden to pardon Marilyn Mosby, the former Baltimore City State's attorney, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre adopted a noncommittal stance during Friday's White House press briefing. She explained that the pardon process for federal offenses falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Justice.  Mosby, convicted of falsely claiming financial hardship to withdraw funds from her retirement for a home purchase, faces a potential 40-year prison sentence upon her sentencing later this month.

(AURN News) - The White House has responded to the widespread protests at U.S. college campuses that lasted nearly two weeks in response to the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations inundated several universities, notably Columbia and the University of Texas. The White House addressed the campus unrest last Friday, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stating that decisions over police presence rest with the institutions themselves.  "We also believe and it is important that all Americans can peacefully protest within the law," Jean-Pierre said. "But Americans have the right to peacefully protest within the law. And we're going to be very consistent here."  She also acknowledged the "incredibly painful" and "very charged moment" stemming from the intense Mideast conflict. The protests reflect a continued divide among Americans in their stance toward the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. A new ABC News/Ipsos poll found 38% believe the U.S. is doing too much to support Israel, indicating a majority still backs Israel.  When it comes to trust in political leaders for handling the conflict, 37% have more confidence in former President Trump compared to 29% for President Biden. One-third said they trusted neither. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Her father, John Floyd III, testified to the court in February that his daughter was ‘forced' to move after she was first elected. ‘After she was sworn in on January 1, 2021, on or about the third of February at probably 5, 5:30 a.m. in the morning,' Floyd explained, ‘there were people outside her house cursing and yelling...Fortunately, the neighbors called the police and disbanded the group.' But in response to a public records request by The Daily Wire, the City of South Fulton Police Department said it had no record of any of those incidents.” You can read the full story here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-say-they-have-no-records-to-support-claim-that-mob-of-racist-whites-surrounded-fani-willis-home 5:45pm- A social media vampire (what?) has gone viral for calling President Joe Biden “un-American” after he signed legislation that could ultimately ban TikTok. 6:05pm- During a Wednesday press conference, Mayor Eric Adams announced that the New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested an estimated 300 protesters at Columbia University's campus on Tuesday night. 6:10pm- According to reports, including from Fox News, “protest consultant” Lisa Fithian and other outside sources assisted student protesters at Columbia University and may be at least partially to blame for how quickly things escalated. 6:20pm- Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein was recently arrested while protesting alongside students at Washington University. 6:25pm- During Wednesday's White House briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre refused to directly answer whether President Joe Biden has been reluctant to vociferously condemn anti-Israel protests on college campuses out of fear it could damage his standing with far-left voters in the 2024 presidential election.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmThis week, Matt and Brian look ahead to looming questions that, under normal circumstances, would be paint-by-numbers developments in a presidential election year: running-mate selection and debates. * President Biden recently confirmed that he intends to debate Donald Trump. Is this a wise decision, and how should he approach the task?* Do Biden's communication and strategic arms have the right acumen to see Biden through debates and other, similar challenges?* Can Trump have a running mate without attempting to steal his or her money or implicate them in the destruction of American democracy?Then, for paid subscribers, Brian and Matt apply questions raised by the new movie Civil War to real-life, Trump-era political violence incitement. With Trump running free from consequences, and promising to pardon insurrectionists, what's to stop him from applying the logic of January 6-style mob violence to other goals he may have? Is the logical endpoint of Trumpism a full-scale rebellion from one direction or another, or something slower-burning and harder to discourage? What can liberals and Democrats do to persuade people that the threat is real, without essentially guilt-tripping people into voting blue? We hope you enjoy the conversation, and if you'd like to listen to the whole thing, you can upgrade to paid for a private feed that gets you access to the complete Politix archive and all future episodes. Further reading:* The New York Post reports that the White House wanted to drive Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre out of her job, but chickened out. * RELATEDLY: Joe Biden's uncle really did crash his warplane in a part of the world where there were lots of cannibals. * Brian on why Democratic frustrations with the mainstream press were bound to boil over, and where things go from here. * Shelby Talcott on how nobody in GOP politics has any idea what Trump wants in a running mate because he's distracted, selfish, and susceptible to flattery.* Brian on Civil War (with spoilers).

Time is up, but they're not moving. Despite a stern warning from Columbia University demanding students protesting the U.S. response to the war on Gaza clear their encampment by 2:00 p.m. or face suspension, the protest is still very much alive. Ignoring the ultimatum, students are rallying around their cause, demanding the university divest from Israel. The university, aiming to secure a peaceful campus environment ahead of the May 15 commencement, has offered to reveal its investments and review proposals on socially responsible investing.  Yet tensions soar as protesters, undeterred, continue to chant for transparency and divestment, even as the university threatens suspension to restore order for upcoming exams and graduation ceremonies. Meanwhile, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked during the White House briefing if the administration believes the students should face suspension.  "We're going to continue to say all Americans have the right to peacefully protest. At the same time, we have to call out any hateful rhetoric," Jean-Pierre said. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

James, who states in the hearing that he goes by ‘he/she/they' pronouns, live-streamed his meeting with Columbia's Center for Student Success and Intervention, where he doubled down on an Instagram post that sparked the report. In the report, which he reads aloud at the start of the meeting, James warned Zionists who may want to ‘meet up and fight' and that he ‘fights to kill.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/zionists-dont-deserve-to-live-meet-the-leader-of-columbia-universitys-anti-israel-encampment 3:45pm- During a segment of MSNBC's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough said the demonstrations, and ensuing chaos, on college campuses could result in Donald Trump being elected in 2024.

Join Jim and Greg as they dig into reports that White House officials tried and failed to remove one of President Biden's biggest liabilities. They also have plenty to say about America's perilously low fertility rates and USC deciding to punish its graduates out of fear of some radical students.First, they pop the popcorn and discuss the New York Post report that de facto White House Communications Director Anita Dunn tried to get Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to take a new job in order to hire someone much more talented than Jean-Pierre at the podium. But Jean-Pierre doesn't want to leave and the Biden team can't fire her.They also shudder as the U.S. fertility rate drops to a record low of 1.62 births per woman. That is well below the rate of replacement and also spells big trouble for a government incapable of any spending restraint and that is in the midst of an avalanche of retirements in the baby boom generation. The current path is unsustainable and Jim offers young Americans encouragement that they can and should get married and start having babies.Finally, they denounce the University of Southern California's decision to cancel the main commencement ceremony out of fears there will be disruptions related to Middle East grievances. They explain how this only rewards the troublemakers and Jim stresses that the Class of 2024, of all groups, deserves to celebrate commencement.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniGet the Deluxe 3-Month Survival Food Kit and the peace of mind your family deserves.  Free shipping on orders over $97. ZBioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLVisit today and save 15% at checkout with code 3ML.  

(AURN News) — The criminal trial of former President Donald Trump continues, marking a historic moment in U.S. history. The White House is treading carefully in its public comments on the case against Mr. Trump, which surrounds an alleged hush money payment made by Trump's team to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump has vehemently denied the charges, taking to his Truth Social platform to denounce the trial as "AN ASSAULT ON AMERICA!" and "RIGGED, UNCONSTITUTIONAL." In a series of posts, the former president lashed out at the "conflicted, Trump Hating Judge" overseeing the case, claiming he is being prevented from responding to "people that are on TV lying and spewing hate all day long." Trump demanded the gag order be lifted, decrying the "New York System of 'Justice'" as being "decimated by critics from all over the World." The White House, for its part, is treading cautiously when it comes to commenting on the unfolding legal drama. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Monday that the administration is being "super, super mindful" in its remarks, given the "ongoing" nature of the case. “Even if it's asking an opinion about the, you know — the historic nature of what's happening and what's going to occur over the next couple of weeks,” she said. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has continued his campaign schedule, visiting his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania on Tuesday. The president is expected to make additional stops in the Keystone State in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. While Tuesday and Thursday are campaign-focused days, the president will make the economy the highlight of his visit to the steel city on Wednesday, according to the White House.

President Joe Biden is scheduled to head to Baltimore on Friday to visit the site of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge. During the press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre gave a preview of the trip. "Meet with state and local officials and get on the ground. Look at federal response efforts. President Biden and his team are working with Governor Moore, the congressional delegation, Mayor Scott and numerous state and and local officials to reopen the port, rebuild the bridge, and support the people of Baltimore. The Chesapeake 1000 arrived Thursday night, and on Saturday, the unified command successfully removed the first piece of wreckage." In a separate news conference, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott assured residents that the rebuild would come with integrity. "And the most important thing that each and every one of us can understand is that we will do it quickly, but the right and safe way every single day until we get this channel back open. Baltimore will recover. It will be long. It will be likely a very hard road." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

(AURN News) - As the 2024 presidential race heats up, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are trading barbs over crime and support for law enforcement.   Trump has ramped up attacks on the Biden administration's handling of crime following the deadly shooting of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller during a traffic stop this week. On his Truth Social platform, the former president wrote: "POLICE ARE THE GREATEST PEOPLE WE HAVE. THERE IS NOTHING, AND NOBODY LIKE THEM—THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN..." He added in another post, "THIS IS SUCH A SAD OCCASION—WE HAVE TO STOP IT, WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO LAW AND ORDER...WE HAVE TO DO A LOT OF THINGS DIFFERENTLY—BECAUSE THIS NOT WORKING...THIS IS HAPPENING TOO OFTEN..." The White House defended Biden's longstanding support for law enforcement. During a briefing aboard Air Force One Thursday following Trump's remarks. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president "has stood with law enforcement his entire career and continues to stand with them as they put their lives on the line for their communities. Under his leadership, we will continue to support police officers.” Jean-Pierre also took a jab at the previous administration over crime. "I'm going to be careful about saying anything about 2024, but violent crime surged under the previous administration, which repeatedly attempted to cut the COPS program," she said. Recent FBI data shows an estimated 1.7% decrease in national violent crime in 2022 compared to 2021 estimates. The report also estimates a 6.1% nationwide decrease in murders compared to the prior year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. And did Governor Gavin Newsom really exempt Panera Bread from new state minimum wage laws because they contributed to his campaign?

McCarthy of National Review writes: “[Donald] Trump's legal team has asked the Appellate Division-First Department to accept a $100 million bond for the purposes of enabling him to appeal the civil-fraud judgment against him and of stopping New York attorney general Letitia James from beginning to execute that judgment—i.e., to start seizing his property if he can't pay up in cash. The problem, of course, is that the judgment against him is $450 million—with interest, which continues to accrue at about $112,000 per day.” You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/02/trump-tells-new-york-appeals-court-he-cant-post-full-bond/ 6:10pm- 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.

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. This could actually lead to the extortion and blackmail of a President. The other side would say, ‘If you don't do something, just the way we want it, we are going to go after you when you leave office, or perhaps even sooner.'” You can find the post here: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112011584636454428 6:40pm- 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.

Mays of The New York Times write: “Hundreds of migrants bound for New York City took a detour in New Jersey over the holiday weekend, in an apparent attempt to bypass a city order that seeks to limit the chaotic flow of arrivals…The surge in New Jersey arrivals appears to be an end-run around an emergency executive order last week by New York City's mayor, Eric Adams, requiring charter bus companies to provide 32 hours' advance notice of the arrival of migrants and restricting the times of day when they can be dropped off.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/01/nyregion/ny-nj-migrants-buses.html 3:15pm- While speaking with WABC in New York, the Democrat Mayor of Edison, New Jersey Sam Joshi said that migrants arriving in his township via buses sent from Texas posed a “major security risk” because “they couldn't be identified.” Additionally, officials were unable to determine whether the people on the buses were carrying weapons, according to Mayor Joshi.   3:20pm- Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas basely blamed the migrant crisis at the U.S. Southern border on Texas Governor Greg Abbott—failing to accept any blame for the Biden Administration's relaxed border security policies. 3:30pm- CNN reports that the House Committee on Homeland Security is expected to formally begin impeachment proceedings against Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for his failures to secure the U.S. Southern border. 3:40pm- On Tuesday, Cherelle Parker was sworn in as the 100th Mayor of Philadelphia.

Matthew reconsiders past criticisms of Marianne Williamson's theology and candidacy in light of her principled call for a ceasefire as casualties in Gaza rise.  At a moment of global crisis, Williamson is distinguishing herself from the vast majority of her Democratic colleagues—including Bernie Sanders—by calling urgently for a ceasefire as the casualties in Gaza rise. Biden Democrats are struggling to utter the word “ceasefire.” Rashida Tlaib and the Squad are now targeted for primary challenges funded by AIPAC. Will it fall to a New Age pacifist—long derided as “the crystal lady”—to challenge the geopolitical status quo?

Elise Joshi, 21, is the executive director at Gen-Z for Change. She first gained widespread attention a few months ago when she interrupted a White House press conference being held by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. In the viral video, a visibly nervous Joshi asked about the Biden administration's approval of ConocoPhillips' $8 billion Willow Pipeline project in Alaska, despite over 1 million young people requesting President Biden halt the project. The video has been viewed tens of millions of times across news outlets and shows.In this episode, Elise makes the point that the Biden administration has done many wonderful things for climate, including the Inflation Reduction Act. However, she noted that for many young people, Biden's climate record will be defined by Willow. The months-long Stop Willow movement was significantly influential across social media. She pointed out that in Biden's first two years, the Bureau of Land Management approved more oil and gas permits than during Trump's first two years, despite Biden's pledge and executive order to halt federal land drilling. This highlights the need to incentivize renewables and electrification while weaning the economy off fossil fuels. For many, progress on the latter has seemed lacking.Elise and Cody have an insightful conversation about these climate policy dynamics and her work at Gen-Z for Change. It's an exciting discussion that provides perspective on how she believes millions of young people view current climate policies.In this episode, we cover: [03:30]: Elise's personal journey to climate advocacy starting in high school[06:10]: Origins and evolution of Gen-Z for Change during COVID[08:32]: Elise's role growing from member to executive director of Gen-Z for Change[10:04]: Tools and activist techniques used by Gen-Z for Change[13:26]: The viral Stop Willow campaign against Arctic oil drilling[15:20]: Gen-Z for Change's role in amplifying the Stop Willow movement[18:47]: Messaging that resonates most with young people on climate[22:57]: Elise's recounting of the moment she stood up to Biden's Press secretary [26:42]: Critique of Biden climate policy as too focused on carrots vs sticks[31:06]: Hopes for bolder climate platform and Green New Deal in 2024[33:33]: Gen-Z for Change's focus on bottom-up organizing for 2024 elections[34:30]: Distrust of the current system and political candidates among Gen-Z [39:01]: How to support Gen-Z for Change[39:44]: Distinction between 502(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) [41:00]: Open resources created by Elise to educate people on climate issues[42:34]: Parting words on public transit and reducing car dependency Get connected: Elise Joshi X / LinkedInCody Simms X / LinkedInMCJ Podcast / Collective / Instagram*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded on Sep 29, 2023 (Published on Oct 30, 2023)

To avoid a government shutdown, Congress has until the end of September to pass a new spending bill. Currently, House Republicans are unable to reach a consensus on defense spending and move forward with a proposed short-term solution. Speaker McCarthy's proposed GOP plan included approximately 8 percent in budget cuts, allocating no money for military aid to Ukraine but did provide funds to bolster border security measures. A procedural vote on Tuesday effectively defeated the GOP plan, with Republican lawmakers fighting internally about where spending is most needed. One of the few naysayers, Republican Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT), joins the Rundown to share why he is not worried about the possibility of a shutdown and why he lobbied against the continuing resolution. Seventy percent of Americans say transgender athletes should only be allowed to compete in sports on teams that match their birth gender. The issue has stirred controversy across schools in the United States, with some parents of female athletes voicing opposition to what they see as an unfair advantage, while more liberal countries have had the community argue this backlash is LGBTQ+ discrimination. The debate has the Biden administration in a difficult spot, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre telling FBN there is no "yes or no answer" for this issue. Meanwhile, 2024 GOP candidate Nikki Haley has called this the "women's issue of our time," criticizing the Biden administration for allowing "biological men to compete in women's sports." On the Rundown, FOX Business' Hillary Vaughn is covering this as part of FBN's weeklong series on "Education in America,'' and she breaks down the trans athlete controversy and how lawmakers are addressing these concerns.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre feels the President's age is a non-issue despite recent polling and Ali Bradley updates Joe on the action (and inaction) occurring at the Southern border.

While many would like to put COVID on the ash heap of history, there are colleges, universities and even some businesses that have reinstated mask mandates and others that are forcing shot mandates. Speaking of shots, President Biden is requesting congressional funding for a new COVID shot with recommendations that everyone gets it, including those who've had it before. --Are these signs that we're headed toward COVID 2.0----Returning to Crosstalk to answer that question was Twila Brase. Twila is the president and co-founder of Citizens' Council for Health Freedom, a national patient-centered, privacy-focused, free-market policy organization to support health care choices, individualized patient care and medical and genetic privacy. --Jim began the broadcast with an audio clip from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who communicated that vaccination remains the safest protection against hospitalization and death. Twila disagrees. She indicated that there's guessing that takes place as to what strain of COVID we'll have and how it changes by the time a vaccine is released. --Jim mentioned how Jill Biden has received two doses of the COVID shot, is double boosted and is experiencing her second bout with COVID. That would seem to confirm what Twila noted from the Cleveland Clinic that the more COVID shots you get, the higher the risk for getting COVID. It's because of what she believes COVID does to a person's immune system. It makes it more difficult for your body to fight COVID because of how the vaccine impacts your immune system.--Next was news that the CDC has stopped accepting adverse reaction reports, just as the new vaccine is being pushed.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/27/2023): 3:05pm- On Monday night, CNN and The New York Times obtained audio of former President Donald Trump describing “highly confidential” military documents pertaining to Iran. The audio is from July 2021, and was made while Trump was speaking with writers doing research for a Mark Meadows memoir. In the recording, Trump can be heard saying of the documents: “As president I could have declassified it, but now I can't.” But does the audio definitively prove he mishandled sensitive information? 3:10pm- According to an NBC News poll, Vice President Kamala Harris has a net-negative approval rating of -17—which is the lowest rating for any vice president in the history of the poll. The poll also indicates that 39% of registered voters have a “very negative” view of Harris. You can find the poll here: https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/first-read/desantis-gop-support-declining-new-nbc-poll-rcna91102 3:30pm- How did CNN and The New York Times obtain leaked audio of former President Donald Trump discussing “highly confidential” documents?

Colorado, reversing the conviction of Billy Raymond Counterman who had been convicted of making threats to a singer named Coles Whalen. The court ruled that “free speech protections require prosecutors to prove the stalker was aware of the threatening nature of his communications,” according to The Washington Post. You can read more about the court's decision here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/06/27/supreme-court-true-threat-stalking/ 4:50pm- According to Real Clear Politics, the White House “scrubbed” video of Today News Africa's Simon Ateba confronting Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during Monday's press briefing. 4:55pm- While appearing on Bill Maher's podcast, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F.

They were always the bad guys.” 5:05pm- Zack De Piero—a former writing professor at Penn State University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss how, according to his lawsuit, he was forced from his job after refusing to accept that the English language is “racist.” De Piero also alleges that he drew the school's ire by refusing to consider the immutable characteristics of students, like race or gender, when grading tests and essays.

One New Yorker, Scott LoBaido, hurled slices of pizza at City Hall on Monday in protest—calling it “The New York Pizza Party” in homage to “The Boston Tea Party.” 6:50pm- Climate activists are now concerned about the environmental impact of…ICE!

In this 174th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. The Press Secretary said this week that “These are our kids. They belong to all of us.” Conservatives had a predictable meltdown. Is she right, or is she wrong? What are the “sides” in this debate? Are there more than two sexes? Can a human transition between sexes? Are we sliding back towards regressive gender norms, and embracing social contagion and mental illness? With regard to a Florida bill restricting gender transition interventions for minors, an ER doc said that it is his job to “take care” of people, regardless of their beliefs. True. But what does it mean to take care? The two sides in this debate fundamentally disagree about what constitutes care. Finally, Bret invites Eliezer Yudkowsky to debate AI, LLM's and complex vs. complicated systems. ***** Our sponsors: Sole: Carefully designed, personally moldable footbeds for healthy feet.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: During Monday's White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed claims that there is a crisis at the U.S. southern border and explained the Biden Administration is doing everything it can—placing the blame for any border issues on Congressional inaction. While appearing on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed that the Biden Administration has been preparing for the end of Title 42, and subsequent surge of migrant crossings at the U.S. southern border, for over a year. However, in the very same interview, conceded that migrant processing centers in Columbia and Guatemala won't be functional for several weeks. A California reparations task force has approved payments of $1.2 million for each black resident to compensate for past discrimination and slavery. But during the meeting, activists argued that the amount paid per black citizen should be $200 million. World Health Organization Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency…sort of…

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/08/2023): 3:05pm- On Monday, President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a proposal that would mandate airlines compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights—the compensation could include hotels, meals, and/or travel vouchers. 3:30pm- While announcing his administration's new policy proposal forcing airlines to compensate passengers for missed or cancelled flight, Biden blamed airlines for individuals being unable to spend time with their families over the holiday season. The Daily Wire's Ben Zeisloft notes, airlines “experienced holiday travel disruptions last year due to extreme winter weather conditions, staff shortages, and an outdated computer system.” You can read more here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/airlines-may-soon-be-on-the-hook-for-delayed-and-canceled-flights-transportation-dept-says 3:45pm- Guy Ciarrocchi—Real Clear Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial, “The Suburbs Are Pulling Us Apart.” Ciarrocchi writes. “Somewhere, over the last generation, the suburbs had become ground zero for every societal, cultural – and, ultimately, every political – problem in Pennsylvania and in our nation. Think of the battles of just the last few years. The biggest fights over Covid mandates took place in the suburbs – not in rural Pennsylvania, where most people went about their business. Not in Philadelphia, where many could walk to stores or order takeout or delivery, as they did frequently even before the lockdowns.” You can read the Ciarrocchi's full article here: https://www.realclearpennsylvania.com/articles/2023/05/01/the_suburbs_are_pulling_us_apart_896859.html 4:05pm- During ABC's This Week, George Stephanopoulos noted a “brutal” Washington Post/ABC News poll for President Joe Biden—indicating a struggling approval rating, concerns about his age, and a projected 2024 loss in a hypothetical rematch with former President Donald Trump. 4:20pm- According to a report from Politico, the Biden Admin is “bracing for impact” as the Justice Department determines whether or not to charge Hunter Biden. Jonathan Lemire writes, “[i]n conversations, Democrats and senior West Wing aides are downplaying the potential impact, arguing Hunter Biden was a factor in the 2020 election and voters elected his father anyway. They point out the president's top rival, Donald Trump, was just indicted himself. But people close to Biden still worry about the personal toll it will take on a father who has already felt anguish about a son's struggles amid a long history of family tragedy.” You can read Lemire's article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/06/bracing-for-impact-biden-world-preps-for-hunter-biden-fallout-00095636 4:30pm- Appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) explained that he plans to hold a press conference on Wednesday where he will reveal bank records indicating that the Biden family may have taken money from foreign adversaries. 4:40pm- While appearing on PBS's Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, legendary actor Richard Dreyfuss was critical of the “diversity mandates” adopted by the Academy Awards. Under the new rules, films must meet certain diversity hiring quotas in order to be eligible for the Academy's “best picture” nomination. 4:50pm- During an interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, President Joe Biden insisted that his son Hunter “has done nothing wrong”—suggesting that he does not believe the Justice Department will charge him with any crimes. 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: Dr. E.J. Antoni—Economist & Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's announced proposal that would mandate airlines compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights—the compensation could include hotels, meals, and/or travel vouchers. But what is the economic impact of this new policy? How drastically could flight prices increase? 5:15pm- After weeks of media personalities labeling conservative reports that Democrats were seeking to ban gas stoves, Governor Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers made New York the first state to ban the installation of gas stoves in new construction projects. Now, the Biden Administration's Energy Department is passing efficiency regulations that could impact dishwashers. 5:25pm- The Mystery Movie Clip 5:35pm- Rich breaks his microphone during a YouTube livestream…AGAIN! 5:40pm- Speaking with Shannon Bream on Fox News, Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated that the crisis at the U.S. southern border was “caused solely by policies put into place by Joe Biden.” Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot condemned Abbott for busing migrants to sanctuary cities—though, she also stated that the federal government needed to do more to stifle illegal border crossings. 5:50pm- Matt's mustache and Henry's mullet make appearances on The Rich Zeoli Show YouTube livestream.
