The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

• Earlier this week, in a 5 to 4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the Biden Administration has the authority to remove concertina wire erected by Texas officials along the U.S. Southern border—designed to prevent the unlawful border crossings that continue to plague the state. According to reports, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has continued to place “razor wire” along the border—arguing that the Supreme Court may have authorized the federal government to remove the wiring, but he remains legally permitted to use the wire when he deems it necessary. In response to Abbott’s actions, several Democrat congressmembers have publicly called on the Biden Administration to “federalize” the Texas National Guard, ultimately preventing Abbott from securing his state’s border.
• During a Friday afternoon press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked if the American people should be “prepared for the situation on the border to get worse.” In response, she said she was unable to predict the future.
• While appearing on Fox News with Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer, Governor Greg Abbott defended his placement of concertina wire along the U.S. Southern border, exclaiming: “Texas has a right, as a state, to stop criminals from coming into our state.”
• White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre accused Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s policies of “making it harder for Border Patrol to do their jobs.”
• During a recent MSNBC broadcast, Joy Reid ridiculously compared enforcing the U.S. Southern border to prevent mass-unlawful immigration to segregation. While these proclamations play well with the radical left, are they going to win over any moderate Democrats or independents in an election year? Consequently, could the Biden Administration’s policies to appease progressives destroy President Biden’s reelection chances?
• During a press conference earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called on the federal government to ban Zyn nicotine pouches and energy drinks. In response, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) said he would not support a product ban, arguing that he will always be “on the side of more freedom” and “personal choice.”
