The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/13/2023):

3:05pm- While appearing on The Rich Zeoli Show last week, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said of the Obama Administration assisting Iranian nuclear development and subsequently endangering Israel: “Barack Obama has been a villain in this whole thing” and, despite knowing the former president since he was a student in law school, “my relationship with him is over.” Now more public figures are agreeing with Professor Dershowitz’ assessment—even Bill Maher is openly criticizing former president Obama for his foreign policy in the Middle East and recent, controversial, statements he made suggesting there was a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel.

3:15pm- 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?

3:20pm- On Monday, Donald Trump Jr. took the witness stand in a civil fraud trial in which New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that former president Donald Trump inflated the value of assets controlled by the Trump Organization in financial statements. While leaving the courtroom, Don Jr. said he hopes New Yorkers realize how “destructive” these types of suites are for the city. If Donald Trump loses the case, he could be fined up to $250 million and be prohibited from doing business in New York moving forward. Notably, in 2018, while campaigning to become Attorney General, James vowed to “sue” Trump—providing evidence to the defense’s argument that this civil suit is entirely political.

3:40pm- Brian Morris—Attorney at the Institute for Justice—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a disturbing allegation that the state of New Jersey is storing newborn baby DNA. Emma Camp of Reason writes: “In every U.S. state, healthcare workers perform blood tests on newborn infants to check for a range of genetic disorders. However, in New Jersey, the state Department of Health stores infants' blood for up to 23 years without informing parents or seeking their consent. In addition to merely keeping the blood, New Jersey reserves the right to do whatever it wishes with the leftover blood, including selling it or handing it over to the police without a warrant.” These allegations are according to a new lawsuit brought by the Institute for Justice.

5:10pm- While speaking with Shannon Bream on Fox News, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley claimed she is “surging” while rivals Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis have “flatlined.” However, RealClearPolitics polling averages indicate all three candidates rising in the polls as other candidates drop out of the race.

5:40pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Economist & Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss how inflation continues to punish Americans despite the Biden Administration raving about the inflation rate slowing in recent quarters.

The U.S. annual inflation rate of 3.7% remains well above the Federal Reserve’s targeted 2% rate.

6:05pm- Mark Houck joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice. Houck is a pro-life father who was wrongfully charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act after protesting outside of an abortion clinic—and he was arrested at his home during an FBI raid that consisted of nearly two-dozen heavily armed agents. The egregious, authoritarian-style arrest understandably left his wife and children horrified. A Pennsylvania jury ultimately found Houck not guilty. Houck is now seeking $1.1 million for malicious prosecution, false arrest, and retaliatory prosecution. Houck is also running for U.S. Congress.
