This week on the CAFE Insider podcast, Joyce Vance is joined by guest co-host Elie Honig while Preet is out. Elie served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, and he is now a CAFE contributor, the host of CAFE's Up Against the Mob podcast, and a senior legal analyst at CNN. In this excerpt from the show, Joyce and Elie break down reporting from ABC News that Trump directed his former assistant to tell investigators that she did not know that he was storing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, and that Trump wrote to-do lists on classified documents. In the full episode, Joyce and Elie discuss developments in Trump's Fulton County, Georgia case: – Efforts by former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark and three fake electors to remove the Georgia state case to federal court; – The likelihood that Trump also attempts to transfer the Georgia case to federal court; and  – Elie's criticism of DA Fani Willis's decision to bring charges against Trump in the first place.

Menendez' home—some of which contained fingerprints or DNA of Fred Daibes, a real estate developer also accused of bribing Menendez and his wife Nadine. According to The New York Times, Daibes pled guilty to financial crimes in 2022. Senator Menendez and his wife have both denied the criminal conduct alleged by prosecutors. You can read more about the story here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/22/nyregion/robert-menendez-indicted.html 3:30pm- On Monday, Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) held a press conference to address charges of corruption. Menendez insisted he was innocent and explained that he held nearly half-a-million in cash at his home for “emergencies.” 3:35pm- In an article for NJ.com, Tom Moran writes: “Look past the bars of gold, the envelopes stuffed with cash, and the shiny new Mercedes parked in the garage of Sen. Robert Menendez. Bad as that stench is, it's far from the worst of it. For that, you need to cast an eye to the torture chambers run by Egypt's military dictatorship, where security goons rape women to pressure their husbands in the next cell, where they clamp metal grips to men's genitals and shock them into submission, where they hang teens by their arms, tied behind their back, and leave them until their shoulders dislocate. That's the dictatorship that Menendez has been helping since 2018, according to the federal indictment dropped Friday.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nj.com/opinion/2023/09/gold-bars-for-menendez-torture-for-jailed-egyptians-moran.html 3:45pm- Congressman Andy Kim (D-NJ)—who represents New Jersey's 3rd District—has announced that he will challenge Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) in New Jersey's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. You can read more here: https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/23/politics/menendez-andy-kim-senate/index.html 4:05pm- On Monday, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held a press conference at the southern border to address the flood of migrants unlawfully entering the United States. Kennedy stated: “As President, I will make the border impenetrable to illegal migrants, but we can't afford to wait a year and a half for that to happen. That is why I am calling on Democratic and Republican leaders to unify on this issue. I'm asking Democrats in particular to reexamine their assumption that a loose border is somehow more compassionate. It is not. It has created a humanitarian crisis for the migrants that is now destroying our cities, crushing our social services, and harming the working poor by undercutting their wages.” You can learn more about the event here: https://www.kennedy24.com/kennedy_slams_biden_border_policy 4:15pm- New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) announced that the National Guard will be deployed to help her state deal with the surge in undocumented migrants. 4:20pm- On Sunday, 60 Minutes documented that the United States is financing more than just defense weapons in Ukraine—an enormous amount of tax-payer money is also being used for farming, 57,000 first responder salaries, and the subsidization of Ukrainian small businesses. 4:25pm- On Meet the Press, political analyst Steve Kornacki said there is “nothing but good news” for Donald Trump when reviewing the latest polling numbers. 4:35pm- While appearing on Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan asked Rep.

Ocasio Cortez nonsensically explained that she bought her vehicle before the COVID-19 pandemic. 4:40pm- Reporter Jon Levine attempted to dine at some of New York's finest restaurant's while wearing shorts and a sweatshirt—dressed similarly to Senator John Fetterman (D-PA). Unsurprisingly, the restaurants did not allow Levine into the dining room, explaining that he was in violation of the dress code. Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stopped enforcement of the Senate's dress code—many believe the decision was made to appease Fetterman. 5:00pm- Jacob Sullem of Reason writes, “Last year in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned that state's restrictions on public possession of handguns for self-defense. A week later, the Court vacated four appeals court decisions upholding state gun control laws and remanded the cases for further consideration in light of Bruen. One of those cases, Duncan v. Bonta, involved California's ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, which a federal judge deemed unconstitutional in a decision published on Friday.” You can read Sullem's full article here: https://reason.com/2023/09/24/californias-10-round-magazine-limit-is-unconstitutional-a-federal-judge-rules-again/ 5:20pm- Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) vetoed California Bill AB957 which would have required state judges to guarantee parents are open to “gender affirmation” care for their children when deciding custody battles. Is Newsom's move towards moderation an indication that he's planning to run for president in 2024? 5:40pm- Dave McCormick—Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania & former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs during the George W. Bush Administration—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about his campaign and how Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA) has voted with President Joe Biden's agenda 98% of the time. You can learn more about his campaign here: https://www.davemccormickpa.com 6:05pm- According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, U.S. taxpayers are paying an estimated $28,000 a week to keep mold out a yacht seized from a sanctioned Russian billionaire—and an additional $2,000 a day in fuel to run the air-conditioning! You can read the full report here: https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/taxpayers-stuck-paying-the-bills-for-oligarchs-seized-yachts-and-mansions-afd442e4 6:15pm- During her Monday press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre would not say, when asked, whether President Joe Biden supports the United Auto Workers' (UAW) demand for a 4-day work week with an increase in compensation. 6:20pm- While speaking with CNN, co-chair of President Joe Biden's reelection campaign Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) reacted to new polling which indicates Donald Trump is running 9-points ahead of Biden. Coons explained, “right now the polls head-to-head are more concerning than I would expect.” 6:25pm- While appearing on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) bizarrely blamed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for the immigration crisis at the U.S. Southern border. She seemingly concluded that the U.S. should remove sanctions from Venezuela and the authoritarian Nicolas Maduro regime. 6:30pm- On Sunday, 60 Minutes documented that the United States is financing more than just defense weapons in Ukraine—an enormous amount of tax-payer money is also being used for farming, 57,000 first responder salaries, and the subsidization of Ukrainian small businesses. 6:40pm- Last week, a missing Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II valued at $90 million was located.

We now have incredible audio of the pilot calling 9-1-1 and speaking to a very confused emergency operator. 6:45pm- On Monday, Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) held a press conference to address charges of corruption. Menendez insisted he was innocent and explained that he held nearly half-a-million in cash at his home for “emergencies.” 6:50pm- It's official!

September 13, 2023 ~ Full Show. Kevin and Tom are joined by Andy McCarthy, Former Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to talk about Kevin McCarthy's call for a impeachment inquiry of President Biden. Jamie Butters from the Automotive News calls in to update us on the UAW negotiations.

September 13, 2023 ~ Andy McCarthy, Former Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, talks with Kevin and Tom about how Kevin McCarthy announced he is calling on his committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

It was a busy week for President Biden, as he attended the G20 Summit in India and met with the Prime Minister of Vietnam in Hanoi. These trips come at a time when many Americans have been raising concerns about the President's age and ability to serve a second term. After the President was interrupted by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre during a press conference in Vietnam when he appeared to be trailing off 25 minutes in, many eyebrows continued being raised about the President's abilities. On the Rundown, FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar joins to discuss recent polls showing both Democrat and Republican voters' concerns about the President's age, how his recent public appearances raise questions about his strength as commander-in-chief and the impact this could have on persuadable voters in 2024.  Yesterday marked 22 years since the attacks of 9/11. As the country held ceremonies to honor the heroes and remember the thousands killed, the mastermind of those attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and four other terror suspects remained detained at Guantanamo Bay with no trial in sight. With the case in limbo for years, many of the victims' families feel justice is being denied. Former Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and FOX News Contributor Andy McCarthy, who has prosecuted terrorists in the past, explains why getting to a trial has proven challenging, what a potential plea deal could look like, and whether he thinks the terrorists behind 9/11 will avoid the death penalty.

NCLA Asks Federal Court to Halt Illegitimate U.S. Dep't of TransportationAdministrative Proceeding NCLA has asked the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in gh Package Product Testing and Consulting, Inc. v. Buttigieg to preliminarily enjoin an abusive Department of Transportation enforcement effort against a family-run company. DOT's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration launched an administrative enforcement proceeding last November against NCLA's client, gh Package Product Testing and Consulting, Inc., which tests packages used to safely transport hazardous materials. PHMSA claims the company submitted test reports with minor inaccuracies that violate DOT regulations.

NCLA Clients Ask Sixth Circuit to Repudiate Unlawful Covid-19 Vaccine Mandate NCLA has filed a petition for an en banc review of a U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals panel's decision that erroneously upheld Michigan State University's unlawful Covid-19 vaccine mandate. MSU fired NCLA clients Kraig Ehm and D'Ann Rohrer from their university jobs for declining to take a Covid-19 vaccine because they had already acquired a more robust form of immunity protection as a result of prior Covid infection. NCLA has long maintained that the vaccine mandate violated its clients' constitutional right to bodily autonomy, unlawfully conditioned their employment on receiving unnecessary medical treatment, and ignored their statutory right to informed consent.

Chris, Lori, and Joe discuss who benefits from the injunction and what it means for those who do not, advocacy efforts by other financial institution trade groups to level the playing field, the impact on small business borrowers, when we can expect a resolution, and until then, how small business lenders should move forward.

It's Hump Day! Emma speaks with Vinnie Perrone, President of Teamsters Local 804, to discuss the recent tentative agreement reached between the Teamsters and UPS. Then, Emma speaks with Rebecca Lewis, senior state politics reporter at City & State New York, to discuss her recent reporting on the introduction on safe injection sites in the state. First, Emma runs through updates on the slow uncovering of the Maui wildfires death count, Biden's environmental regulations, FBI shenanigans, the continuing abuse of Dianne Feinstein, DNC's new chair, fascist politics in North Carolina, and RFK teaming up with a sitting GOP Rep, before diving into the spectacular fall of Rudy Giuliani and his myriad ongoing legal battles – from the Trump indictments to his own interpersonal and financial abuses. Vinnie Perrone then joins as he helps to contextualize the historic agreement made between the Teamsters and UPS, walking through the massive concessions from UPS' side (aka decent labor practices), from Holidays to anti-labor technology, before tackling the major victory on the Teamsters' front: the elimination of UPS two-tiered wage system. Expanding on this, Perrone walks Emma through the myriad elements of UPS' system that needed restructuring, and how the deal helped bring about 7,500 full-time promotions, before parsing a little further through new policies on certain anti-labor tech and workplace environments. They wrap up the interview by discussing the Teamsters' labor action within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent influx in labor action in the US. Rebecca Lewis and Emma then dive into what Safe Injection Sites are, and how they made their way to the forefront of the harm reduction debate around drug abuse in the US, tackling their immense success for decades outside of the US, and the proven lack of any negative impact on local drug use. Next, Lewis walks Emma through recent statements made by the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York awkwardly targeting the recent small-scale Safe-Injection Sites, despite the Districts's long-standing role within the US judicial system, and the genuine support across NYC Mayors for this initiative. Wrapping up, Lewis parses through the slow introduction of this policy over decades of shifting public opinion toward drug addiction, and how the battle will be waged moving forwards. And in the Fun Half: Emma and the MR Team reflect on the fascist inclinations that come over the wealthy when it comes to the homeless and impoverished, Amber from Northern Virginia dives into Gov. Youngkin's anti-trans agenda, and Tim Pool posits the idea of Chinese Space Lasers starting the Maui wildfires. Armando from Portland on how to protect places (like Maui) from disaster capitalism, and Michael Flynn wonders why the Jews didn't push back against Nazi discrimination. UAW president Shawn Fain absolutely eviscerates the anti-labor narratives against both autoworkers and Hollywood workers, and Jason Whitlock perfectly demonstrates the astroturfed absurdity of the right's new Anthem, plus, your calls and IMs!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/15/2023): 3:05pm- On Monday night, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced former president Donald Trump has been indicted for racketeering for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. 18 others were charged as well—including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell. Corinne Ramey and James Fanelli of The Wall Street Journal write, “If Trump wins the next presidential election, he could attempt to pardon himself in any federal case or steer the Justice Department to retreat from Smith's charges. In Georgia, he would lack the ability to wipe away a state conviction or prison term. Even if Trump were to seek a state pardon, he wouldn't be eligible to do so until after serving a sentence for any conviction. In Georgia, any such pardon would be determined by a state board, not the governor.” You can read their full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/georgia-case-presents-unique-challenges-for-trumpand-prosecutors-4dd6ee37 3:35pm- In a video posted to Truth Social, former president Donald Trump addressed the wildfires that have devastated Hawaii—tragically killing nearly one hundred people making it one of the deadliest wildfires in recent U.S. history. 3:45pm- Is the Georgia indictment Donald Trump's greatest legal concern yet?  4:05pm- While speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Tuesday, President Joe Biden promised that he would soon be visiting Hawaii to assess the damage caused by wildfires in Maui. Biden explained: “I don't want to get in the way…I want to be sure we don't disrupt the ongoing recovery efforts.” 4:15pm- While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said of the charges brought against Donald Trump: “All four of these cases are designed to get quick convictions…these prosecutors don't care about convictions being reversed on appeal because that will come after the election.” 4:20pm- Late last week, the Marion County Record—a small-town, family-owned newspaper located in Kansas—was raided by local law enforcement resulting in the confiscation of computers, cellphones, and other work materials. Some of the information collected in the raid included unflattering information about the community's police chief.

Mea Culpa welcomes legal legend, Nick Akerman. Akerman was formerly a federal prosecutor and the Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York, where he specialized in going after white-collar crime. Prior to the SDNY, he made his name as the Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor with the Watergate Special Prosecution Force under Archibald Cox and Leon Jaworski. There Akerman was instrumental in helping crack open the vast conspiracy orchestrated by President Nixon and his co-conspirators that resulted in Nixon's resignation and several prison sentences for his underlings. Akerman joins us today to discuss how Trump is basically screwed in his election interference trial and why televising the trial will be a terrible idea.
