If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/e-jean-carroll-trial-trump-expected-court-today-rcna134623\">the news<\/a> out of the federal courtroom in <b>New York<\/b> today in the second <b>E. Jean Carroll<\/b> defamation trial is to be believed, our disgraced former President may have his own new infection again soon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>After, just last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.sports.yahoo.com\/video\/ron-desantis-kiss-ring-trump-141454809.html\">condemning<\/a> those Republicans who &#8220;kiss the ring&#8221; of <b>Donald Trump<\/b> in order to save themselves, Florida Governor and failed 2024 Presidential candidate <b>Ron DeSantis<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ron-desantis-250c8ed4b49843350e258f0c2754c8ba\">dropped out<\/a> of the race on Sunday. And, yes, he kissed the ring in hopes of saving himself for 2028 by endorsing Donald Trump. DeSantis also used a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/fact-check\/ron-desantis-bows-out-presidential-campaign-with-fake-churchill-quote-2024-01-22\/\">fake quote<\/a> from <b>Winston Churchill<\/b> when doing so, just so he could fail as spectacularly as possible on his way out the door.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>New Hampshire<\/b>&#8216;s first-in-the-nation primary is Tuesday and former South Carolina Gov. <b>Nikki Haley<\/b> is the last GOPer left in the race other than the twice-impeached, four-time criminally indicted former President. If one believes the pre-primary polling, the race will be over by Wednesday. And the guy who was, literally, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1748882502515667424\">praising the idea<\/a> of a &#8220;strongman running the country&#8221; during rallies in New Hampshire over the weekend, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1748874885802135867\">telling<\/a> supporters that U.S. Presidents must have complete immunity to commit any and all crimes, will be on a glide path toward becoming the 2024 Republican nominee for President of the United States.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>While the <b>DNC<\/b> has not authorized a Democratic Primary in <b>New Hampshire<\/b> this year &#8212; choosing instead to make <b>South Carolina<\/b>&#8216;s February 3 contest the first official one for the Dems &#8212; that hasn&#8217;t stopped a write-in effort for <b>Joe Biden<\/b> in New Hampshire <i>UN<\/i>sanctioned Democratic Primary, in which Biden does not appear on the ballot. It has also resulted in what appears to be the first (known) dirty trick of 2024. NH voters began receiving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/fake-joe-biden-robocall-tells-new-hampshire-democrats-not-vote-tuesday-rcna134984\">robocalls over the weekend<\/a> from &#8220;Joe Biden&#8221; instructing them not to vote at all on Tuesday. The incident is being investigated by law enforcement, but may give us an idea of what the abuse of Artificial Intelligence may have in store for us in this unprecedented 2024 election season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>On Monday, the <b>U.S. Supreme Court<\/b> &#8212; in a 5 to 4 ruling &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/01\/22\/politics\/supreme-court-texas-razor-wire\/index.html\">sided with the Biden Administration&#8217;s Border Patrol<\/a> and said that they may, in fact, remove razor-wire placed on the Rio Grande by <b>Texas<\/b> Governor <b>Greg Abbott<\/b>, after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/jan\/14\/texas-three-migrants-drown-us-border-patrol\">Abbott&#8217;s actions<\/a> have already resulted in the death of a mother and her two young children drowning in the river. But four Justices (<b>Thomas<\/b>, <b>Alito<\/b>, <b>Gorsuch<\/b> and <b>Kavanaugh<\/b>) apparently have no use anymore for the U.S. Constitution&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/wex\/supremacy_clause\">Supremacy Clause<\/a> which gives deference to federal law over state law.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Finally, after weeks away from our flagship station (<a href=\"https:\/\/kpfk.org\">KPFK<\/a> in L.A.) over the holidays and then during our multiple brushes with COVID, we were finally live in studio again and able to open the phone lines today to listeners on anything they wanted to discuss.
