3:05pm- On Wednesday, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling in Murthy v. Missouri—a case centered around government-coerced censorship on social media. In a 6 to 3 decision, the court ultimately determined that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the suit—consequently, the case will be returned to a lower court. But if states don’t have standing, then who does? In his scathing dissent, Justice Samuel Alito argues, “high-ranking government officials placed unrelenting pressure on Facebook to suppress Americans’ free speech. Because the court unjustifiably refuses to address this serious threat to the First Amendment, I respectfully dissent.” Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch also dissented.

3:30pm- Kimberly Guilfoyle—Host of The Kimberly Guilfoyle Show on Rumble—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about her new children’s book, “The Princess and Her Pup.” Could the Democrat Party replace Joe Biden if he flops spectacularly during Thursday’s presidential debate? Guilfoyle explains that it doesn’t matter who Donald Trump ultimately faces in the general election, because Trump has all of the momentum on his side.

3:40pm- During an interview with Right Side Broadcasting Network, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called into an Atlanta barbershop.

4:05pm- In an opinion piece for The New York Times, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton previewed Thursday’s presidential debate—seemingly lowering expectations for President Joe Biden. She writes: “Unfortunately, Mr. Biden starts from a disadvantage because there’s no way he can spend as much time preparing as I did eight years ago. Being president isn’t just a day job; it’s an everything-everywhere-all-at-once job. Historically, that has led to weaker first debate performances for the incumbent.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/25/opinion/hillary-clinton-trump-biden-debate.html

4:10pm- Another Supreme Court leak? Ann E. Marimow of The Washington Post writes: “The Supreme Court would allow emergency abortion care in Idaho for now despite the state’s restrictions on the procedure, according to Bloomberg Law, which viewed a copy of a not-yet-released opinion that was briefly posted on the court’s website Wednesday.” You can read more here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/26/supreme-court-emergency-abortions-idaho-decision/

4:20pm- Holman W. Jenkins, of The Wall Street Journal, writes: “‘Double haters’ are a bumper crop in 2024, one Biden achievement he won’t be bragging about. In 2016 and 2020, these nose-holders broke decisively for Mr. Trump; in 2016 there just happened to be more of them. Now they’ve doubled in four years. Moreover, says Yanna Krupnikov of the University of Michigan, typically low-engagement, low-information voters are increasingly joined by others best described as ‘anti-establishment.’ In my own experience, many are especially alert to the international situation. They see two unsuitable commanders in chief. If anything, they lean toward Mr. Trump as their worries deepen.” Similarly, Matt notes that according to recent polling from The New York Times, disengaged voters—voters who didn’t vote in 2020 or 2022—are now favoring Trump by double digit points.

4:30pm- Tracy Beanz—Editor-in-Chief UncoverDC.com & Host of the “Dark to Light” podcast—to discuss the Supreme Court’s decision in Murthy v. Missouri, a case centered around government-coerced censorship on social media. In a 6 to 3 decision, the court ultimately determined that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the suit—consequently, the case will be returned to a lower court. Beanz believes the lower court judge set to review the case next, will ultimately rule in favor of the First Amendment. In his scathing dissent, Justice Samuel Alito argues, “high-ranking government officials placed unrelenting pressure on Facebook to suppress Americans’ free speech. Because the court unjustifiably refuses to address this serious threat to the First Amendment, I respectfully dissent.” Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch also dissented.
