The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode:

3:05pm- On Tuesday, New Hampshire held its Republican presidential primary with Donald Trump ultimately defeating Nikki Haley 54% to 43%. Meanwhile, despite not being sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee and consequently awarding no delegates, President Joe Biden defeated Rep. Dean Phillips 55% to 20%. Biden did not appear on the ballot—citing New Hampshire’s refusal to permit South Carolina from becoming the party’s first primary state—though his supporters did organize an extensive write-in campaign.

3:20pm- During a CNN panel discussion, political commentator Van Jones reacted to Donald Trump’s victory in New Hampshire—arguing that President Joe Biden’s general election opponent has now been established. He advised Biden to “stay hidden” and let his surrogates campaign on his behalf.

3:25pm- After a five-day Covid-instigated weekend, Matt returns to The Rich Zeoli Show. Rich and Henry mock him, though he believes he should be hailed as heroic for taking precautions and not getting anyone else sick.

3:30pm- 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.

3:35pm- During a White House press briefing, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby denied that the use of concertina wire prevented migrants from crossing the U.S. Southern border unlawfully.

4:20pm- Frank Kummer of The Philadelphia Inquirer writes: “New Jersey officials, stung last year when a major offshore wind developer backed out the state’s first big project, moved ahead on Wednesday by approving two more utility-scale projects for off the coast, but this time much farther out to sea. The state’s Board of Public Utilities (BPU) approved the projects totaling 3.7 gigawatts, or enough to power about 1.6 million homes, according to the companies. BPU staff, however, put the number at about 1.8 million homes.” You can read the full article here: https://www.inquirer.com/business/energy/new-jersey-offshore-wind-phil-murphy-20240124.html

4:30pm- According to CNN exit polling, 70% of the New Hampshire voters that cast their primary ballots for Nikki Haley in Tuesday’s Republican presidential primary were not registered as Republicans—instead they were “undeclared” registrants. The next race will take place in Nevada. Interestingly, Haley will appear on the state’s primary ballot but will not participate in the state’s caucus which means she will be ineligible to receive delegates in the contest. Trump, however, is competing in the Nevada caucus.

4:35pm- MSNBC’s Joy Reid suggested that, despite losing the New Hampshire primary by double-digits, Nikki Haley should remain in the race just in case frontrunner Donald Trump is ultimately convicted of crimes that prevent him from holding office.

5:10pm- Eric Boehm of Reason writes: “The FBI violated the Fourth Amendment when its agents rifled through the contents of more than 700 safe-deposit boxes in the aftermath of a March 2021 raid, a panel of federal appeals court judges ruled unanimously on Tuesday. In doing so, the judges at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed what innocent victims of the raid and their attorneys have been arguing for years: that the FBI overstepped the bounds of its warrant issued in the case and failed to follow proper protocol when federal agents cracked open safe-deposit boxes, ran the contents past drug-sniffing dogs, and tried to seize some of the money and other valuables found in the boxes. The 9th Circuit's ruling pivots on a detail of the case that Reason first highlighted more than a year ago: the existence of so-called ‘supplemental instructions’ for the handling of the safe-deposit boxes seized at U.S. Private Vaults in Beverly Hills.” You can read the full article here: https://reason.com/2024/01/23/appeals-court-fbis-safe-deposit-box-seizures-violated-fourth-amendment/
