  2. Initial 2020 Election Breakdown! Ft. Chris Park

    Initial 2020 Election Breakdown! Ft. Chris Park

    Initial 2020 Election Breakdown! Ft. Chris Park John and Walter are back to discuss the election and they are joined by Comedian Mr. Chris Park, (@ChrisParkComedy) of the New Jersey Comedy Syndicate and Blazo Network. We Talk about our Election night jitters and how this felt like the longest election ever. Would bernie would’ve done better in some states? Some people blaming “socialists” for Biden near loss and the loss of senate/house seats. The post election analysis is going to be intriguing. Especially the fact that, we felt like it was closer- Because of the way votes were counted. But it’s also interesting, the exact states that may be won by Biden (compared to Obama & Hilary’s performance in some states) and the house/senate races that were won/lost. Some other topics discussed: Trump challenging the election results, Fox News exit poll, Senate incumbency rate, Exit polls- Are they even useful? In this environment. Somewhat? But I think you’re gonna have to weigh what you’re looking at For instance the Fox News poll about universal healthcare might give you some insight Some factors that may have helped or hurt outcomes. Pandemic helped? Gov of Michigan  AoC on the lost seats- Online presence, FB ads in pandemic . @AOC pointed out to the NYT: “Every single candidate that co-sponsored Medicare for All in a swing district kept their seat.” how close Abrams and AOC are on issues. Kasich saying progressives nearly cost Biden the election  Power void??? WARNING! This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for legal advice.

It authorizes the president, after such a declaration, to block transactions and freeze assets to deal with the threat. (For more info see https://fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R45618.pdf) Falls under the umbrella of the National Emergencies Act (NEA) in 1976 50 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq Presidents may invoke IEEPA under the procedures set forth in the NEA- the NEA requires that the President “immediately” transmit the proclamation declaring the emergency to Congress and publish it in the Federal Register. Congress must review every 6 months. “ IEEPA requires that the President consult with Congress “ Once the President declares a national emergency invoking IEEPA, he or she must immediately transmit a report to Congress specifying: (1) the circumstances which necessitate such exercise of authority; (2) why the President believes those circumstances constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States; (3) the authorities to be exercised and the actions to be taken in the exercise of those authorities to deal with those circumstances; (4) why the President believes such actions are necessary to deal with those circumstances; and (5) any foreign countries with respect to which such actions are to be taken and why such actions are to be taken with respect to those countries.
