President Trump asked for the classified document case to be dismissed. The judge heard arguments today.
The famous Alan Dershowitz commented on what he observed in Monday's hush money court.
Hello all you freedom loving people. Welcome to another episode of Front Page. I'm your host,
Scott Camagule. Prices in the U.S. have remained high. The Biden administration is concerned
because it will affect voters' choices, and the fast food industry is worried because
their customer base is the one most affected by prices. Data from the Fed survey says that while
most U.S. citizens have seen their income increase over the past few years, the spending component
has increased even more. California voters elected a Republican to replace the former
Speaker Kevin McCarthy's seat. President Trump asked for the classified documents case to be
dismissed, and the judge heard arguments today. The famous Alan Dershowitz commented on what he
observed in Monday's hush money court. Okay, let's get into it. The Biden administration said
on Tuesday that it would release 1 million barrels of gasoline from reserves in the
northeastern U.S. in an effort to lower oil prices this summer. The gasoline comes from
storage sites in New Jersey and Maine and will be sold in batches of 100,000 barrels.
The Department of Energy says that this approach will ensure that the gasoline makes its way to
local retailers in time for the July 4 Independence Day holiday, and that it will help to lower costs
for American families and consumers. The gasoline reserves in the northeast are 10 years old,
and they were established by the Obama administration. Congressional Republicans
have long criticized the Obama administration for this action, saying that any such reserve
should be created with congressional approval. The reserve was created after the Superstorm Sandy
hit oil refineries in 2012. A 2022 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office,
which is a watchdog agency under Congress, said that these never-before-used gasoline reserves
would provide only minimal relief in the event of a severe gasoline shortage, and that the reserves
would cost about $19 million a year to maintain. Congress authorized the release of those oil
reserves and then the closure of those storage sites in a spending deal that was approved in
March in order to avert a partial government shutdown. While U.S. inflation may have slowed
a bit over the last year, high inflation is still causing financial pain for many Americans.
The latest Fed figures show that 65 percent of U.S. adults have seen their financial situation
worsen as a result, with 17 percent unable to pay all of their monthly bills. The Federal
Reserve Board on Tuesday issued its Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households in 2023 report.
The report is based on a survey of the economic lives of American adults and their families.
The survey covers the economic health of Americans in a variety of areas, including employment,
income, banking and credit, housing, retirement, planning, student loans and child care.
The results of the survey show that chronic inflation has caused 65 percent of U.S. households
to be in a worse financial situation, with 19 percent of those households reporting that they
are in a worse financial situation due to rising prices, while 34 percent of respondents reported
that their household's monthly income had increased over the past year. 38 percent reported
that their expenses had also increased. 72 percent of adults surveyed said that they are doing okay
or living comfortably financially as of October 2023, but this is well below the 78 percent in
2021 and it is the lowest since 2016. This figure is much lower among those who are parents.
The proportion of parents who are doing okay or living comfortably financially fell by five
percentage points to 64 percent and this is the lowest level since the survey began in 2015.
High inflation has put heavy financial pressure on most U.S. families who have had to pay more
for everyday necessities such as food and rent. According to the Fox Business Channel,
grocery prices are up more than 21 percent from the beginning of 2021 while housing costs have
risen 18.37 percent. Meanwhile, energy prices have risen by 38.4 percent. Rising prices are
hitting low-income Americans especially hard because they tend to spend more of their already
stretched paychecks on necessities and therefore have less flexibility to save money. More than
half of adults say that they have no money left over after paying their regular monthly expenses.
According to the Fed, 17 percent of adults surveyed said that they were unable to pay all
of their bills in full. The typical U.S. household would have had to pay $227 more per month in March
to purchase the same goods and services as a year ago. The average American paid $784
more per month compared to the same period two years ago and $1,069 more compared to the same
period just three years ago. Consumers are cutting back on living expenses due to rising prices and
interest rates. To compete for customers, the U.S. fast food industry is in the midst of a price war.
First, fast food giant McDonald's plans to launch a $5 value meal in June followed by Wendy's which
has launched a $3 breakfast set to beat the competition. McDonald's will launch a month-long
$5 value meal promotion starting on June 25th that includes a double beef burger or four chicken
nuggets, a side of fries and a drink. Prior to the promotion, McDonald's had other moves in the works.
For example, a new McFlurry drink was launched across the U.S. on Tuesday. It's made with syrup
and chopped up candy bars, and apparently it tastes like the candy you used to get when you
were a kid. To entice customers, the fast food giant is giving away six free McNuggets via its
app on Wednesday. In response to McDonald's marketing tactics, fast food chain Wendy's
is not taking any chances. On Monday, Wendy's announced a $3 breakfast combo that includes
seasoned potatoes along with bacon and egg and a cheese English muffin or a trio of sausage,
egg and cheese English muffin. Wendy's also announced that it will add sausage breakfast
burritos to participating locations. Wendy's is also offering DoorDash members $5 off their
breakfast order with a bacon or egg breakfast burrito instantly for breakfast of $12 or more.
The discount is valid from May 31st through June 6th. Voters in California's 20th congressional
district decided on May 21st who would fill former Speaker Kevin McCarthy's seat for the rest of the
year. One of the candidates was State Representative Vince Fong, who was endorsed by President Trump,
and the other was Tulare County Sheriff Mike Bordeaux, who pledged to fight for a safer border.
They are both Republicans. The district they were vying for is California's 20th congressional
district, which is located in the state's Central Valley farm country. It is one of the most
solidly red districts in the heavily Democratic dark blue state. With President Trump in the race,
this campaign was another test of his influence. President Trump endorsed Fong in February,
calling him a true Republican. Bordeaux's supporters included Richard Grinnell,
the former Acting Director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration,
and Republican State Senator Shannon Grove. The two Republican candidates coincided on many
policies. Bordeaux emphasized his decades of policing experience and promised to strengthen
the nation's border security. Fong also promised to end the chaos along the U.S.-Mexico border
while prioritizing the water and energy needs of the Central Valley's farmlands.
In a special election two months ago on March 19th, Congressman Vince Fong received 42% of the
vote, while Bordeaux received 26%. Since no candidate received more than 50% of the votes,
the two faced off on May 21st. Then on Tuesday, Vince Fong finally won the special election.
Fong said in a statement with the campaign, over the real work now begins.
Current House Speaker Mike Johnson will determine when Fong is sworn in.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys in the classified documents case made their first
court appearance on Wednesday since the judge indefinitely postponed the trial earlier this
month. President Trump accused special counsel Jack Smith and the Biden administration of
prosecutorial misconduct in a May 21st motion to dismiss the classified documents case.
President Trump's defense attorneys say that the 15 boxes that were seized by the FBI during the
raid on Mar-a-Lago should be excluded from evidence because of due process violations.
They argue that the special counsel improperly obtained the 15 boxes, necessitating a hearing
on alleged violations of the Due Process Clause and the Presidential Records Act.
Defense attorneys previously submitted to the court several email exchanges between the NRA,
the White House and DOJ personnel. The email exchanges were released after a Freedom of
Information request that argued the emails were evidence of collusion and political motivation
in bringing the criminal case against President Trump. The emails show that NARA personnel
attempted to obtain the records from President Trump with a great sense of urgency in response
to a January 6th Congressional Special Committee request. When the records were not immediately
available, NARA also quickly drafted a referral letter to the Justice Department while keeping
a White House official updated. Prosecutors responded the same day calling the defense
attorney's allegations baseless. On Wednesday, Judge Cannon heard arguments on President Trump's
motion to dismiss the indictment. Also scheduled on Wednesday were arguments by a Trump co-defendant,
his valet, Walt Nauta, to dismiss the charges. The defense lawyers asserted in the motion that
the August 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago was unconstitutional and illegal and that the FBI
affidavit that was filed in justification of it was tainted by misrepresentations.
We reported yesterday on a scene in the New York Supreme Court where the judge admonished a Trump
defense witness in the hush money trial. Alan Dershowitz, the professor of law emeritus at the
Harvard Law School, was also in the courtroom. When the judge admonished the witness, he asked
everyone to leave the courtroom. The exception was Professor Dershowitz who was allowed to remain
in the courtroom. So he witnessed the scene we reported. The scene in front of him was a great
shock indeed. He wrote an opinion piece and he published it on Fox News. He said that in his 60
years as a lawyer and law professor he had observed and participated in trials all over the world,
in China, Russia, Ukraine, England, France, Italy and Israel and in 80 percent of the states of the
United States. But what happened in the New York courtroom on Monday he had never seen before.
He said the judge was an absolute tyrant though he appeared to the jury to be a benevolent despot.
Dershowitz wrote he seemed automatically to be ruling against the defendant at every turn.
He pointed out that the judge's judgment was markedly biased. He wrote the judge excluded
obviously relevant evidence when offered by the defense while including irrelevant evidence
offered by the prosecution. He called a scene in which the judge admonished the defense's
only substantive witness who was experienced attorney Robert Costello. He called it one of
the most remarkable wrong-headed biases I have ever seen. He argues that the judge's actions were
not only unjust but unconstitutional. He wrote that of course would have been unconstitutional
because it would have denied the defendant his sixth amendment right to confront witnesses and
to raise a defense. In admonishing the witness the judge actually threatened to strike all of
Costello's testimony if he raised his eyebrows again. Dershowitz argued that the judge's effect
while issuing that unconstitutional threat revealed his utter contempt for the defense
and anyone who testified for the defendant. He said that the public should have the right to
see what really happened in court. However as there was no live broadcast the media could
distort the facts as they wished. Dershowitz also said there is absolutely no good reason why a
trial of this importance or any trial should not be televised live and in real time. Allowing the
public to see their courts in action is the best guarantee of fairness. As Justice Louis Branzi
wisely said a century ago sunshine is the best disinfectant and it's not just President Trump
who suffers from this current unjust environment it's the American public. He concluded by saying
today there is no check on partisan reporting of trials and exaggerations and personal opinions
are rampant. The American public is the loser and that's a wrap for this episode. Thank you so much
