The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

6:05pm- On Thursday, adult film star Stormy Daniels testified in the Donald Trump “hush money” case—offering salacious details about her alleged affair with the former president in 2006. But why was Daniels permitted to provide over-the-top testimony that was immaterial to the charges being brought against Trump? Is the purpose simply to humiliate Trump even if the court isn’t able to convict him of any crimes? During her testimony, it was revealed that Daniels believes she can communicate with ghosts! She also routinely expressed her disdain for Trump—and explicitly said she refuses to pay Trump more than $600,000 she owes him for legal fees stemming from a failed defamation suit she brought against him in 2018. Will the jury even find her testimony credible? Trump has been charged with attempting to conceal payments made to Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounted to falsified business records which influenced the 2016 election.

6:30pm- The Conservative Brief’s Martin Walsh writes: “When authorities seize cars and other property used in drug crimes, even when the property belongs to so-called innocent owners, they are not required to hold a prompt hearing, a divided US. Supreme Court decided. The justices voted 6-3 to reject the claims of two Alabama women who had to wait more than a year for the return of their cars. When the cars were being driven by others, police pulled them over and took them after discovering drugs.” You can read Walsh’s full article here: https://conservativebrief.com/court-rules-no-82998/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=JE

Daniels has said that while living in a New Orleans house that she thought to be haunted, spirits attacked her boyfriend and held him underwater. Daniels told jurors that some indications of paranormal activity at the house were later attributed to a giant opossum.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/stormy-daniels-testimony-hush-money-trial-7edc4ed5?mod=hp_lead_pos4

3:05pm- During an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, President Joe Biden revealed that he would not supply weapons to Israel if they insisted on pursuing Hamas in Rafah. Rich notes that Congress explicitly provided $26 billion in military assistance for Israel in last month’s $95 billion foreign aid bill. Is President Biden withholding weaponry (including precision targeting technology that would reduce civilian casualties) in order to appease radical progressives on college campuses?

3:15pm- While appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, MSNBC host Jen Psaki said her role as former Biden White House Press Secretary somehow makes her more qualified to offer commentary on the administration. But doesn’t that mean she can’t really be objective? Psaki also acknowledged that President Joe Biden and his campaign team are very much aware that young voters on college campuses oppose American support for Israel.

3:30pm- Flashback: In 2019, President Joe Biden said of potentially cutting off aid to Israel: “The idea that we could cut off military aid to an ally—our only true, true ally in the region—is absolutely preposterous.”

4:30pm- Fatties for Palestine…yes, this is a real organization.

4:40pm- While speaking with Sage Steele, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would allow abortion up to the point of birth.

6:05pm- Christian Baldwin of NewsBusters writes: “New details have emerged in a congressional investigation into the Biden administration censorship enterprise that has curtailed free speech on a level unprecedented in American history. A new House Judiciary Committee report uncovered more of the Biden administration’s collusion with Facebook, YouTube and Amazon to silence constitutionally protected speech. The administration in some cases threatened these companies, pushing them to censor content or change their moderation guidelines, specifically with regards to fighting ‘vaccine hesitancy’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.” You can read the full report here: https://newsbusters.org/blogs/free-speech/christian-baldwin/2024/05/06/bombshell-judiciary-report-reveals-bidens-white

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/07/2024):

3:05pm- Former President Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial resumed in New York City on Tuesday. The New York Times writes that Judge Juan Merchan “denied a request from [Trump’s] lawyers for a mistrial, after [the Trump defense team] complained that [Stormy] Daniels’s testimony was prejudicial.” Reporting from inside the courthouse, Maggie Haberman detailed that at one point adult film star Stormy Daniels was asked about a statement she signed in January of 2018 where she denied having an affair with Trump. You can read more courtroom updates here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/07/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money-stormy-daniels

3:30pm- Reporting from inside the courthouse, Jonathan Swain of The New York Times writes of Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial: “Trump’s lawyer, Susan Necheles, has successfully established that Stormy Daniels is refusing a court order to pay legal fees to Trump, which she was ordered to do six years ago after her defamation lawsuit against him was dismissed.” You can read more courtroom updates here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/07/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money-stormy-daniels

Despite the best efforts of his political opponents and a large swath of the media to hold Donald Trump accountable for the utterances of even the most fringe of his supporters—a standard to which no other candidate is ever held.” Rich notes that the violent, antisemitic protesters living in encampments on college campuses are not Trump supporters—they are members of the Democrat party, but the media isn’t holding the left accountable. Isn’t that a double standard? You can read the full editorial here: https://observer.com/2016/07/jared-kushner-the-donald-trump-i-know/

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/06/2024):

3:05pm- While speaking briefly with the press on Monday prior to entering court in New York City, President Donald Trump said the gag order imposed on him by Judge Juan Merchan is “not fair” and argued that the scope of the gag order infringes upon his constitutional right to free speech. On Monday, Judge Merchan fined Trump $1,000 for violating the gag order and emphasized that continued violations could result in Trump being sent to jail.

3:15pm- On Monday, former Press Secretary—and current MSNBC host—Jen Psaki stated that she did not believe it’s necessary for President Joe Biden to do more press conferences in order to win reelection in 2024.

3:40pm- David Gelman—Defense Attorney & Former Prosecutor—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his work as a legal surrogate for former President Donald Trump and the Trump 2024 Campaign. Why has Trump been subjected to a gag order while Michael Cohen, for example, has not been?

4:05pm- Isaac Schorr of Mediate reports that talk show host Michael Smerconish has been disinvited from speaking at Dickinson College’s commencement ceremony after students complained about a passage from a book he wrote in 2004. Schorr writes: “In his book, Smerconish argued against a Department of Transportation policy that ‘precluded more than two individuals of any particular ethnicity from being singled out at the same time for secondary screening at airports.’” You can read the full story here: https://www.mediaite.com/news/cnns-michael-smerconish-disinvited-from-college-commencement-over-comments-from-2004/

4:40pm- George Leef of National Review writes: “Let’s look at the new California minimum wage law for workers in fast food businesses and see how it has been working out.  Professor Lee Ohanian has done some digging and writes about his findings in [his] piece for Independent Institute.

4:50pm- Barak Ravid of Axios reports that the Biden Administration “put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel.” Rich notes that Congress explicitly provided $26 billion in aid for Israel in last month’s $95 billion foreign aid bill. Ukraine received assistance immediately—why was Israel forced to wait?

5:00pm- In his Wall Street Journal editorial, Ralph Reed writes about the media’s continued attempts to smear Christians in America. He explains: “House Speaker Mike Johnson stared down anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University last month and affirmed the nation’s support for Jewish students. His remarks were sharp and unequivocal, a welcome contrast with university officials’ hand-wringing and the Biden administration’s feeble response to the antisemitism sweeping across the states. Yet rather than give him credit, Democrats and the press for months have fixated on Mr. Johnson’s background as a ‘Christian nationalist.’ The New Republic claimed he’d been ‘groomed by the Christian right’ in ‘secretive circles’ to ‘rule the United States according to ‘biblical values.’’ Robert Jones, president of the Public Religion Research Institute, described Mr. Johnson as ‘the embodiment of white Christian nationalism in a tailored suit.’” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-smear-campaign-against-christian-nationalists-faith-freedom-f3954994?mod=opinion_lead_pos5

6:25pm- In a soon to be released book, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem reveals that she shot and killed a 14-month-old dog and a goat after the two animals misbehaved. Republicans and Democrats alike have rightfully spoken out against her actions, though she has defended herself explaining the incident is proof she is capable of making tough decisions. Did she just end her political career? It certainly seems like it.

6:30pm- Shia Kapos of Politico investigated the source of funding for anti-Israel protests on college campuses. Unsurprisingly, the biggest funders also happen to be some of President Joe Biden’s biggest campaign donors—including George Soros and the Pritzker family.

3:05pm- Did Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s “hush money” case against former President Donald Trump just blow up? Matthew Haag of The New York Times writes: “Defense lawyers for Donald J. Trump painted the lawyer who negotiated the hush-money deal at the center of his criminal trial as a serial extortionist, accusing him of taking aim at Mr. Trump before the 2016 election with a porn star’s account of a sexual liaison. The lawyer, Keith Davidson, spent hours on the stand describing how he received the $130,000 payment for the woman, Stormy Daniels, from Mr. Trump’s longtime fixer, Michael D. Cohen, and the mad scramble that ensued when the story got out anyway. The cross-examination quickly turned hostile: Mr. Trump’s lawyers sought to cast Mr. Davidson as a shakedown artist who took aim at celebrities including Tila Tequila and Charlie Sheen, while he fought back by suggesting they were using loaded language like ‘extortion’ to stigmatize legitimate settlements.” During his opening monologue Rich notes that during testimony, Davidson said he did not consider the payments from Trump to be “hush money.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/02/nyregion/trump-hush-money-trial/trump-trial-keith-davidson-testimony?smid=url-share

4:05pm- Listeners call-in and offer their opinions on the Trump “hush money” trial—but Rich gets sidetracked when he starts receiving compliments!

4:30pm- Former President Donald Trump spoke with the press briefly after court concluded on Thursday. PLUS, the New York Times’s Maggie Haberman claims that “Trump left the courtroom, squinting strangely at Lawrence O’Donnell, the MSNBC host, as he did.” Don’t forget, Haberman famously complained that Trump “glared” at her during a court appearance last month. Will Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Brag prosecute Trump for “glaring” and “squinting” next?

4:40pm- In a particularly bizarre segment from MSNBC’s Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough predicted that if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential race, he will “arrest political enemies” and “execute generals that don’t follow his commands”—even using “SEAL Team 6 to execute political opponents.” Speaking of dictators, did you know that an estimated 16 million people are descendants of Genghis Khan?

5:05pm- After leaving court on Thursday, former President Donald Trump visited with the NYPD and FDNY—brining a mountain of pizzas with him!

5:10pm- While speaking with the press, a spokesperson for the UCLA anti-Israel protesters proclaimed that the university was “founded on colonialism,” calling it a “violent institution.” She went on to condemn the United States of America as being evil and called for the dismantling of the country’s institutions.

5:20pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “Why pass laws when the Biden Administration ignores them? The latest example is a new rule that purports to codify permitting reform in Congress’s debt-ceiling deal last year. Instead, the rule creates a pocket veto for fossil fuels and public works while rubber-stamping green projects. Permitting reform for we, but not thee… The Administration’s new rule ignores the law by making it easy to kill projects that progressives oppose… Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer promised West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin he’d take up permitting reform in return for supporting the Inflation Reduction Act. But Democrats in Congress blocked significant reforms, and now the Administration guts even the minor reforms in the IRA.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/permitting-reform-rule-biden-administration-green-projects-fossil-fuels-environment-2396058a?mod=opinion_lead_pos2

6:40pm- Rich Lowry of National Review points out: “The Alvin Bragg case has gotten grander at trial, but also more ridiculous. The Manhattan DA has a meaningless business-records misdemeanor wrapped within a theory about an alleged Trump conspiracy to defraud the voters by denying them disparaging information before the election and obscuring, after the fact, the payments that were used to do so. Bragg is accusing Trump, in effect, of stealing the election. If this is the standard by which we judge elections, we need to go back and conclude that Bill Clinton wasn’t elected legitimately in 1992, either.

Hillary Clinton was an active participant in the schemes. And so, by Bragg’s logic, this Democratic power couple—dominant in the party for a decade or more and still honored today—comprises election thieves.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/04/remember-when-bill-clinton-stole-the-1992-election/

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

6:05pm- Amy Swearer—A Senior Legal Fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a maddening story about an elderly Pennsylvania homeowner who has been arrested for defending himself during a home invasion.

6:30pm- Did Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s “hush money” case against former President Donald Trump just blow up? Matthew Haag of The New York Times writes: “Defense lawyers for Donald J. Trump painted the lawyer who negotiated the hush-money deal at the center of his criminal trial as a serial extortionist, accusing him of taking aim at Mr. Trump before the 2016 election with a porn star’s account of a sexual liaison. The lawyer, Keith Davidson, spent hours on the stand describing how he received the $130,000 payment for the woman, Stormy Daniels, from Mr. Trump’s longtime fixer, Michael D. Cohen, and the mad scramble that ensued when the story got out anyway. The cross-examination quickly turned hostile: Mr. Trump’s lawyers sought to cast Mr. Davidson as a shakedown artist who took aim at celebrities including Tila Tequila and Charlie Sheen, while he fought back by suggesting they were using loaded language like ‘extortion’ to stigmatize legitimate settlements.” During his opening monologue Rich notes that during testimony, Davidson said he did not consider the payments from Trump to be “hush money.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/02/nyregion/trump-hush-money-trial/trump-trial-keith-davidson-testimony?smid=url-share

6:40pm- Rich Lowry of National Review points out: “The Alvin Bragg case has gotten grander at trial, but also more ridiculous. The Manhattan DA has a meaningless business-records misdemeanor wrapped within a theory about an alleged Trump conspiracy to defraud the voters by denying them disparaging information before the election and obscuring, after the fact, the payments that were used to do so. Bragg is accusing Trump, in effect, of stealing the election. If this is the standard by which we judge elections, we need to go back and conclude that Bill Clinton wasn’t elected legitimately in 1992, either. The Arkansas governor’s political operation was, in part, an elaborate conspiracy to keep women who alleged to have had affairs with Clinton quiet. Hillary Clinton was an active participant in the schemes. And so, by Bragg’s logic, this Democratic power couple—dominant in the party for a decade or more and still honored today—comprises election thieves.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/04/remember-when-bill-clinton-stole-the-1992-election/

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:

5:05pm- After leaving court on Thursday, former President Donald Trump visited with the NYPD and FDNY—brining a mountain of pizzas with him!

5:10pm- While speaking with the press, a spokesperson for the UCLA anti-Israel protesters proclaimed that the university was “founded on colonialism,” calling it a “violent institution.” She went on to condemn the United States of America as being evil and called for the dismantling of the country’s institutions.

5:20pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “Why pass laws when the Biden Administration ignores them? The latest example is a new rule that purports to codify permitting reform in Congress’s debt-ceiling deal last year. Instead, the rule creates a pocket veto for fossil fuels and public works while rubber-stamping green projects. Permitting reform for we, but not thee… The Administration’s new rule ignores the law by making it easy to kill projects that progressives oppose… Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer promised West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin he’d take up permitting reform in return for supporting the Inflation Reduction Act. But Democrats in Congress blocked significant reforms, and now the Administration guts even the minor reforms in the IRA.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/permitting-reform-rule-biden-administration-green-projects-fossil-fuels-environment-2396058a?mod=opinion_lead_pos2

Will Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Brag prosecute Trump for “glaring” and “squinting” next?

4:40pm- In a particularly bizarre segment from MSNBC’s Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough predicted that if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential race, he will “arrest political enemies” and “execute generals that don’t follow his commands”—even using “SEAL Team 6 to execute political opponents.” Speaking of dictators, did you know that an estimated 16 million people are descendants of Genghis Khan?

In the report, which he reads aloud at the start of the meeting, James warned Zionists who may want to ‘meet up and fight’ and that he ‘fights to kill.’” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/zionists-dont-deserve-to-live-meet-the-leader-of-columbia-universitys-anti-israel-encampment

3 - Catch and Kill! It is not illegal to have an extramarital affair, so why is that on trial in the Trump case? It is not election interference to hide things from the electorate. Would people really have changed their vote knowing the guy who has been married three different times had an affair or two? If so, why has he not lost the evangelical Christian crowd?

330 - A correction. Joe Biden received “4 Pinocchio’s” from the WaPo for his repeated lie that he was arrested protesting for civil rights back in the day on Woke Howard Stern’s Show. Isn’t this the guy who palled around with “The Seggies” talking to the guy that would do blackface skits? Birds of a hypocritical feather flock together. 

350 - Rich is mad about the whole premise of the trial, including the taxpayer money going to the daily protection of Donald Trump as he has to keep appearing in court. Let’s get a poll going on who would’ve changed their vote based on these allegations. 

4 - Continuing on Trump’s Trial as we are prosecuting him for election interference that he has not won once in two separate elections. Where is the evidence that the outcome would have changed?

420 - Matt is off today, but that doesn't mean he wasn’t complaining.

430 - Philadelphia’s own Dr. Victoria Coates, Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, joins us to discuss the political protests of the conflict in Israel. Dr. Coates discusses the security detail she had to have to even speak at UPenn on ideas that shouldn’t be very controversial. How are things in the Middle East? How serious is the accusation that Israel is committing genocide against Gazans? 

4:55 - Did Fauci get his 6 foot distancing rule from the movie Contagion?

5 - Drive @ 5 - Another Friday, another chat with Dr. Wilfred Reilly, Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me.” Is mood contagious? How do we feel about canned laugh tracks vs. letting the audience decide what is funny? A Baltimore High School Athletic Director used AI to frame his school’s principal for racism in order to get him fired. As the author of Hate Crime Hoax, how does Dr. Reilly feel about this story? He argues this is the first AI hate crime hoax, and many more may be on the horizon. The conversation shifts to other AI hazards, such as revenge deepfake porn and staged conversations. Are schools out in Kentucky participating in these protests like the coastal elite schools? Rich and Dr. Reilly wrap up with discussion of Trump’s case in New York. 

540 - Rich discusses his differences with other legal scholars over the handling of the Trump case. We listened to Trump’s comments after court today. Rich continues to detail just how weak the case against Trump is. 

6 - Zeoli Show In-house Economist Dr. EJ Antoni joins us once again to discuss the new economic numbers. Yes people are earning more now, but the rising costs of things has rendered these wages useless. But we thought inflation was transitory? Yeah, transitioning higher and higher. The two also discuss the non-compete contracts being voided, for now. What happens if we finally abolish The Fed?

620 - Anytime, anywhere. Biden says he’ll debate Trump on Woke Howard Stern’s Show. Will he though? He also spouted more lies, like being arrested during civil rights protests, being the runner -up in “state scoring” in football, and receiving salacious pictures from women during his time as Senator in the 1970’s. A special montage of Biden’s comments on race.

650 - A replay of Rich’s exclusive interview with President Trump.

[Alvin Bragg] has made a historic mistake. Their vague allegation about “a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election” has me more concerned than ever about their unprecedented use of state law and their persistent avoidance of specifying an election crime or a valid theory of fraud.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/opinion/bragg-trump-trial.html

But a third-year law student and a Palestinian activist, Malak Afaneh, stood up at the event, holding a microphone, and launched into a speech.” In the video, which has gone viral on social media, the activists bizarrely claim they have a constitutional right to protest inside a private home.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

3:05pm- On Tuesday, Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) requested that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) resign—after Speaker Johnson announced he plans to hold a vote on Ukraine aid funding later this week. Massie joins Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as Republican members of Congress now vocally opposed to Johnson remaining in power. Working with a slim Republican majority in the House (218-213 with 4 vacancies), is Johnson now in serious jeopardy of being removed as Speaker? On Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said “Republicans need real leadership” and seemed to suggest Johnson should be replaced in favor of someone who is more fiscally responsible.

3:20pm- Annie Karni of The New York Times writes: “Speaker Mike Johnson’s elaborate plan for pushing aid to Ukraine through the House over his own party’s objections relies on an unusual strategy: He is counting on House Democrats and their leader, Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, to provide the votes necessary to clear the way for it to come to the floor.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/17/us/politics/johnson-democrats-ukraine-aid-plan.html

Three women and four men have been chosen so far for a jury that will be the first ever to decide criminal charges against a former president. The jurors, all Manhattan residents, include a charter-school teacher, a software engineer, a salesman, a corporate lawyer and an oncology nurse.” You can read the full report from Corinne Ramey, James Fanelli, and Alex Leary here: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/jury-for-donald-trumps-hush-money-trial-takes-shape-an-oncology-nurse-a-software-engineer-a-teacher-5a65e772?mod=hp_lead_pos4

3:40pm- While speaking with Wolf Blitzer on CNN, former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori expressed concern about the anonymity and safety of the jurors serving on the Trump “hush money” trial. Khardori explained: “Now, this is not the fault of the media…Responsibility to guard all of the very specific information that we’re learning [about the jury] resides with the D.A.’s office and with the judge. I’m a little surprised that we are learning all of this because I do not think this jury is going to remain anonymous, necessarily, if they keep this up.”

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/16/2024):

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounted to falsified business records which influenced the 2016 election.

Senators will be sworn-in as jurors on Wednesday to begin trial proceedings.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/house-republicans-deliver-mayorkas-impeachment-articles-to-senate/

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounted to falsified business records which influenced the 2016 election.

4:50pm- On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Fischer v. United States—a case which will determine whether obstruction laws can be used to charge January 6th defendants.

Through a seemingly innocuous change to the definition of ‘electronic service communications provider,’ the bill vastly expands the universe of U.S. businesses that can be conscripted to aid the government in conducting surveillance. Under current law, the government can compel companies that have direct access to communications, such as phone, email, and text messaging service providers, to assist in Section 702 surveillance by turning over the communications of Section 702 targets. Under Section 504 of the House intelligence committee’s bill, any entity that has access to *equipment* on which communications may be transmitted or stored, such as an ordinary router, is fair game. What does that mean in practice? It’s simple…Hotels, libraries, coffee shops, and other places that offer wifi to their customers could be forced to serve as surrogate spies. They could be required to configure their systems to ensure that they can provide the government access to entire streams of communications.” You can read her full statement on X: https://twitter.com/LizaGoitein/status/1734249938333167889
