The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:
6:05pm- Will former Vice President Kamala Harris run for Governor of California? PLUS, why is Doug Emhoff pretending to be tough?
6:20pm- Appearing on Fox News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reacted to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s pardon—explaining that history will judge Fauci “harshly.”
6:30pm- On Monday night, President Donald Trump pardoned 1,500+ Americans arrested for a series of crimes related to events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, and he commuted the sentences of 14 others. Rich notes that several things can be true at once: some of those arrested acted abhorrently, but the Department of Justice was overly aggressive with prosecutions. According to some reports, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is at least considering charging January 6th offenders with local crimes which would not be covered under President Trump’s pardon.
6:40pm- In the Oval Office on Monday night, President Donald Trump signed an executive order clarifying the 14th Amendment—emphasizing limitations to “birthright citizenship.” The Trump Administration’s interpretation states that the children of non-U.S. citizens who are in the country unlawfully should not be granted citizenship. The Congressional Research Center has noted that the Supreme Court “has not firmly settled the issue in the modern era.” Rich points out that courts already recognize a narrow exception to the 14th Amendment, not granting U.S. citizenship to the children of diplomats.
