Supreme Court Upends Chevron Deference, Hits Administrative State

The Rich Zeoli Show

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:

5:05pm- During one notable exchange at Thursday’s presidential debate on CNN, Joe Biden concluded a statement by saying he had “beaten Medicare.” In response, Donald Trump hilariously noted, “well, he is right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death.”

5:10pm- On Thursday night, CNN hosted 2024’s first presidential debate between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden. Who won the debate? The New York Times polled their opinion columnists—and despite progressives greatly outnumbering conservatives, 10 of 12 columnists thought Trump won, with 2 concluding the candidates battled to a draw, and 0 choosing Biden. Similarly, CNN conducted a flash poll which indicated that 67% of debate watchers thought Trump won, with 33% selecting Biden.

5:15pm- One pre-debate poll measuring national support in the 2024 presidential election had Donald Trump at 41% and Joe Biden at 43%. That same poll now has Trump at 50% and Biden at 42% following CNN’s presidential debate.

5:20pm- According to a new, shocking poll out of New Jersey, Donald Trump is now beating Joe Biden by 1% in the Garden State.

5:40pm- Zack Smith—Legal Fellow and Manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in Heritage’s Meese Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to examine the Supreme Court’s landmark decisions in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce. The near identical cases resulted in the upending of precedent established in 1984 by the Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council decision. Today’s decision delivers a massive blow to unchecked power held by the administrative state—which will no longer be permitted to ostensibly alter Congressional acts via loose interpretations without judicial checks on that power.
