The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/10/2023):

3:05pm- November 7th proved to be yet another disappointing election day for Republicans across the country. In Kentucky, Andy Beshear (D) won reelection in his gubernatorial campaign. Republicans in Virginia lost control of the state House—meaning that Democrats now control both chambers of the Virginia legislature. Meanwhile, Ohioans voted in favor of establishing abortion as a state constitutional right. Locally, Republicans in Pennsylvania and New Jersey struggled—with Judge Dan McCaffery defeating Judge Carolyn Carluccio to win a seat on Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court. How can Republicans change course moving forward? Removing Ronna Romney McDaniel from her position as Republican Party Chairwoman, reaching out to younger voters via TikTok, and expanding the conservative vote by embracing mail-in ballots and taking advantage of early voting.

3:10pm- Jersey Freedom, a political organization, spent tens-of-thousands of dollars backing third party candidates in hopes of diluting the Republican vote in New Jersey’s November 7th election. The ad campaign even included endorsements for candidates that have withdrawn from their races. In response, New Jersey Republican Party sued—alleging that the organization has violated campaign finance reporting laws by shielding donor information. Last week, “Superior Court Judge Michael Blee said that Jersey Freedom may make no further expenditures in New Jersey, but acknowledged that with Election Day just five days away, his decision might be too late to matter,” according to a report from David Wildstein of The New Jersey Globe. How many votes did these candidates receive? And what was the impact on the final election results?

3:15pm- Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) is urging the United States government to create an expedited, lawful pathway toward refuge for people of Jewish faith who are being persecuted globally in the aftermath of the October 7th Hamas-led terror attacks on Israeli citizens. In a statement, Rep. Van Drew explained: “The Biden administration must step up and offer refuge to Jews across the world who fear for their lives and require immediate temporary relocation by providing expedited entry into the United States. Our nation has always stood as a beacon of hope to those who are persecuted, and we must stand strong on our foundational principles by providing unwavering support for Jewish communities across the world.” You can read his full statement here: https://vandrew.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=594

3:30pm- According to a report from The New York Times, “F.B.I. agents seized Mayor Eric Adams’s electronic devices early this week in what appeared to be a dramatic escalation of a federal corruption investigation into whether his 2021 campaign conspired with the Turkish government and others to funnel money into its coffers… The agents approached the mayor on the street and asked his security detail to step away, one of the people said. They climbed into his S.U.V. with him and, pursuant to a court-authorized warrant, took his devices.” You can read the full report from William K.

5:40pm- Earlier this week, Douglas Murray sat down for a long-form interview with Tucker Carlson in a video posted to X. Libby Emmons of The Post Millennial writes, “Twitter user Douglass Mackey [has been] sentenced to 7 months in prison after being found guilty of election interference for making memes disparaging Hillary Clinton.” She notes, “[t]here was no evidence to suggest that any voter attempted to cast their ballot via text in response to Mackey's meme.” How could any court criminally punish satirical speech on social media? Could the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately end up hearing this freedom of speech case?

5:45pm- Kelly Garrity of Politico writes that the Minnesota Supreme Court “dismissed a lawsuit that would bar [Donald] Trump from the primary ballot under a provision of the 14th Amendment that bars people from holding public office if they “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.’” However, Garrity warns that the “court did not explicitly address whether Trump’s role in the activities surrounding the events of Jan. 6, 2021, disqualified him” from being placed on a general election ballot.
