The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/15/2023):

3:05pm- On Monday, Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) announced that the state of New York will begin a massive data collection effort targeting social media accounts. Hochul explained the purpose of this new government surveillance program is “to counter some of the negativity and reach out to people.” Bizarrely, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley echoed a similarly disturbing sentiment regarding social media usage while appearing on Fox News—arguing that social media accounts should no longer be anonymous and that accounts need to be verified with the user’s names and other identifying information.

3:15pm- In response to Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s bizarre call for ending anonymity online, her supporters pointed to a tweet from Donald Trump on May 24th, 2013, where he joked: “It should be mandatory that all haters and losers use their real name or identification when tweeting—they will no longer be so brave!” An end to anonymity online would be disastrous. As Rich notes, the essays that comprise The Federalist Papers were written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay under the pseudonym “Publius.”

3:30pm- On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified before a House Homeland Security subcommittee. During the hearing, Director Wray conceded that individuals on the terror watch list may have crossed into the United States illegally. Congressman Michael Guest (R-MS) noted that in 2019, former DHS Sec. Jeh Johnson referred to 1,000 illegal border crossing “overwhelms the system.” With thousands of migrants entering the U.S. illegally on a daily basis throughout the Biden Administration, Rep. Guest asked Sec. Mayorkas how many crossing—in his estimations—would be considered overwhelming?

3:50pm- During Wednesday’s House Homeland Security subcommittee, Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) quoted 18 U.S.C. Section 2 (a): “whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, and abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as the principal.” He then accused Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of “aiding and abetting” criminals that have exploited the Biden Administration’s relaxed border security policies.

4:05pm- Pacific Legal Foundation Senior Attorney Brian Hodges joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Sheetz v. County of El Dorado—a property rights case which will be reviewed by United States Supreme Court. The Pacific Legal Foundation writes: “The government can’t hold the right to use your property hostage in order to extract exorbitant fees. That’s akin to extortion… Permit fees must be proportional to the public costs imposed by new development. Otherwise, the government may leverage the permit process to take property it is not entitled to, skirting the Constitution's Fifth Amendment prohibition against taking private property without just compensation.” You can read more about the case here: https://pacificlegal.org/case/sheetz-permit-extortion-scotus/

4:15pm- Joe Lancaster of Reason writes: “When a state gives away tax money to a private company in an attempt to sway its business decisions, the least that a taxpayer can hope for is some openness in the process. Unfortunately, the state of Michigan's economic development agency is actively preventing transparency, leaving questions on how the state plans to spend billions of taxpayer dollars unanswered.” Could Michigan lawmakers signing a nondisclosure agreements impact how those lawmakers vote?

4:35pm- In an October 28th game between the Nottingham Panthers and Sheffield Steelers, former NHL hockey player Adam Johnson had his neck cut mid game by an opposing player’s skate. That player has now been charged with manslaughter. You can read more here: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/man-arrested-manslaughter-charge-uk-ice-hockey-players-death-rcna125134

4:45pm- While appearing on Fox News, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley argued that the government should prevent social media users from posting anonymously—requiring that accounts be verified with usernames and other identifying information. An end to anonymity online would be disastrous. As Rich notes, the essays that comprise The Federalist Papers were written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay under the pseudonym “Publius.” Rich quotes Batman from The Dark Knight Rises: “the mask is not for you, it’s for the people you care about.” You can read more here: https://news.yahoo.com/nikki-haleys-crazy-plan-require-150320028.html

5:05pm- On Wednesday, President Joe Biden met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco. David E. Sanger and Katie Rogers of The New York Times write, “President Xi Jinping of China told President Biden on Wednesday that it was ‘unrealistic’ for either of the two largest economic and military superpowers to expect to ‘remodel the other,’ as both countries each tried, in their own way, to halt a downward spiral in their relationship.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/11/15/world/biden-xi-apec-summit

5:15pm- New Jersey’s First Lady Tammy Murphy formally announced her intention to run for U.S. Senate—challenging Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) for his seat. Menendez has been charged with acting as a foreign agent for Egypt and with accepting bribes in exchange for influence.

5:20pm- During Tammy Murphy’s U.S. Senate campaign announcement, she referenced her husband, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s hair!

5:25pm- David Wildstein of The New Jersey Globe writes: “A shadowy dark money group that promoted a phantom candidate for State Senate in the 4th district is due in court next month to seek a dismissal of a judge’s order to freeze their bank account. Jersey Freedom, a tenebrous independent expenditure group based in Jamaica, Queens, is now represented by William Tambussi, the longtime attorney for Democratic powerbroker George Norcross and the Camden County Democrats.” You can read the full article here: https://newjerseyglobe.com/judiciary/dark-money-group-represented-by-south-jersey-democratic-lawyer-seeks-to-unfreeze-funds/

6:15pm- A local news report from Fox 2 in San Francisco notes that city officials miraculously cleared the streets of homeless encampments and public drug use ahead of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit (APEC)—which is expected to result in many notable world leaders gathering in San Francisco for the week-long meeting. Local citizens are now wondering: why did it take the arrival of Joe Biden and Xi Jinping for local government to clean up this dangerous mess? Governor Gavin Newsom told reporters: “I know folks are saying, ‘oh they are just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming to town’ and that’s true… because it’s true.” According to Zach Jewell of The Daily Wire, “a news crew from the Czech Republic was reportedly robbed at gunpoint in San Francisco on Sunday as the team reported on the Asia-Pacific Economic Partnership (APEC) summit taking place in the city.” You can read more here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/foreign-news-crew-robbed-at-gunpoint-while-covering-apec-summit-in-san-francisco

6:20pm- While appearing on CNN with Jake Tapper, MIT graduate student Talia Khan—who is of Jewish faith—says she no longer feels safe on campus. Virginia Kruta of The Daily Wire writes: “The Massachusetts Institute of Technology took considerable backlash over a statement explaining why more actions hadn’t been taken against students who promoted anti-Semitic and even genocidal slogans while participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus…the school had apparently refrained from taking action because they were concerned that foreign students—who make up nearly one-third of MIT’s student body—could have their visas revoked.” You can read the full article here:https://www.dailywire.com/news/expel-deport-repeat-mit-blasted-for-protecting-anti-semitic-students-over-fears-theyd-lose-their-visas
