The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: On Wednesday, Hunter Biden shocked Capitol Hill and attended a House Oversight Committee hearing being held to determine whether Biden should be held in contempt for defying a congressional subpoena late last year. Biden did not speak during the hearing, and ultimately stormed out when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) began to speak. Following Biden’s abrupt exit, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) attempted to explain away Biden’s decision to leave by accusing MTG of being disrespectful towards Biden in the past—including sharing nude photos of him during past Congressional hearings. Following Hunter Biden’s abrupt exit from Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing, his attorney Abbe Lowell held an impromptu, chaotic press conference on Capitol Hill where one member of the press repeatedly asked what “type of crack” Biden preferred.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: A recently released University of New Hampshire/CNN poll indicates former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is trailing former President Donald Trump by only seven-points in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary—39% to 32%. Interestingly, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is garnering 12% support. Will Christie dropout in order to clear a victory path for Haley? On a recent episode of The Journal podcast, New Hampshire voters revealed that they are changing their party affiliation from Democrat to Republican prior to the state’s January 23rd primary. Because they can’t vote for their preferred candidate—Joe Biden—as he won’t appear on the ballot following a Democrat National Committee feud with the state over scheduling dates, many Democrat voters are now registering as Republicans in order to vote against Donald Trump, supporting rival candidates like Nikki Haley and Chris Christie. Democrats have seemingly destroyed their own New Hampshire primary, are they impact

Two of the judges on the panel are Democratic appointees—Judge J. Michelle Childs and Judge Florence Y. Pan. Though, the third judge—Judge Karen L. Henderson—seemed equally unconvinced by the Trump team’s legal argument. 3:15pm- Charlie Savage and Alan Feuer of The New York Times write: “Judge [Florence Y.] Pan asked [Donald Trump’s Attorney John] Sauer to address a series of hypotheticals intended to test the limits of his position that presidents are absolutely immune from criminal prosecution over their officials acts, unless they have first been impeached and convicted by the Senate over the same matter.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: Ray Epps—a former Trump support who some believe was an asset of the federal government who instigated the riot at Capitol Hill on January 6th, 2021—was sentenced to one-year of probation for his participation in the riot. On Tuesday, a three-judge panel from the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit heard arguments to determine the validity of Donald Trump’s presidential immunity defense in his federal election subversion indictment.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: Over the weekend, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart began to cry while discussing the three-year anniversary of the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Ryan Saavedra of The Daily Wire writes: “One of the co-defendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ sprawling RICO case—against former President Donald Trump and several of his top associates—claimed in court filings this week that Willis had an ‘improper’ relationship with one of the prosecutors in the case. The court filing claims that special prosecutor Nathan Wade, a private lawyer, paid for vacations that he allegedly took with Willis using funds his law firm received from the county as compensation for his work on the case. His firm has been paid approximately $650,000.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-co-defendant-in-georgia-rico-case-claims-da-fani-willis-had-relationship-with-prosecutor-report On Monday, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseas

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: Zack Smith—Legal Fellow and Manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit hearing arguments on Tuesday to determine the validity of Donald Trump’s presidential immunity defense in his federal election subversion indictment. If the presidential immunity defense is dismissed, does that mean former president Barack Obama could be held accountable for his authorization of drone strikes which resulted in the death of an American citizen? On a recent episode of The Journal podcast, New Hampshire voters revealed that they are changing their party affiliation from Democrat to Republican prior to the state’s January 23rd primary.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/08/2024): 3:05pm- Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spent several days in an intensive care unit at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland following elective surgery—though the precise surgery has not been disclosed. Alarmingly, the White House—including President Joe Biden—was not informed of Secretary Austin’s incapacitation for more than three days. Equally concerning, while Secretary Austin was in intensive care, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks was on vacation in Puerto Rico. Will anyone be held accountable for this disastrous breakdown in communication? Secretary Austin released a statement on Saturday addressing the issue: “I am very glad to be on the mend and look forward to returning to the Pentagon soon. I also understand the media concerns about transparency and I recognize I could have done a better job ensuring the public was appropriately informed. I commit to doing better.”  3:30pm- While appearing on ABC’s This Week with Geo

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: In a new editorial for Reason, Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott argue that universities are now using diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) statements to “enforce group think” on campuses. They write: “Yoel Inbar must not be allowed to teach psychology at UCLA—or so a student petition informed the California university's administration this past July. Inbar is an eminent, influential, and highly cited researcher with a Ph.D. in social psychology from Cornell University. There is no question that he is qualified. Anyone worth their salt doing work on political polarization knows Inbar's name. Inbar also jumped through all the hoops UCLA put up for the job, including submitting a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) statement, which is currently all the rage in colleges and universities. He even shares the politics of the majority of the psychology department. But on his podcast, Inbar had expressed relatively mild concerns over the ideological pressures that DEI statements impo

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: The National Park Service has announced its plan to remove the William Penn statue from Welcome Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—citing a desire to be more inclusive and an “expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia.” Welcome Park is, of course, named after the ship which carried Penn to Philadelphia in 1682 and his statue currently marks the location of his home. The National Park Service is currently seeking commentary on its decision to redesign Welcome Park—including the removal of Penn’s statue.

Did you miss any of The Rich Zeoli Show this week? It's ok. We forgive you! But now is your chance to catch-up on all the action: Disney has announced a new director for its Star Wars franchise—Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Obaid-Chinoy has won two Academy Awards for short-films examining injustice in Pakistan, but does that make her the ideal selection for a sci-fi franchise? Obaid-Chinoy said that her goal as a filmmaker has been to “make men uncomfortable,” but aren’t most Star Wars fans just looking for an enjoyable two-hour movie? Wadi Gaitan—Communications Director for the LIBRE Initiative—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to react to a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll indicates that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump currently has greater support within the Hispanic American community than does President Joe Biden—39% to 34%.

Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire writes: “The CIA has a term called “limited hangout.” This is a tactic where some small portion of the truth is made public while the most important details—the stuff that really matters—is kept hidden. Intelligence agencies do this in hopes that the stuff they release will satisfy everyone’s curiosity and they’ll stop asking questions. These Epstein files appear to be exactly that. This is a limited hangout. A diversion meant to satisfy you without actually telling you what you need to know. They want you to stop asking questions.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: President Joe Biden has released his first campaign ad of the 2024 presidential election cycle—purposefully timed to release on the 3-year anniversary of the January 6th riots at the U.S. Capitol. Unsurprisingly, the Biden campaign team uses the thirty-second advertisement to paint Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his supporters as a threat to the country. On Friday, from Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden gave a speech commemorating the third anniversary of the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol. The speech, much like his recently released campaign advertisement, portrayed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his supporters as a threat to the United States—accusing the former president of refusing to denounce political violence, and in fact, actively encouraging it while adopting rhetoric similar to Nazi Germany. Stefanos Chen and Jeffery C. Mays of The New York Times write: “Hundreds of migrants bound for New York City took a detour i

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: Adam Liptak of The New York Times writes: “The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to decide whether former President Donald J. Trump is ineligible for Colorado’s Republican primary ballot because he had engaged in insurrection in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The case, which could alter the course of this year’s presidential election, will be argued on Feb. 8. The court will probably decide it quickly, as the primary season will soon be underway.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/05/us/trump-supreme-court-colorado-ballot.html While speaking with Dana Bash on CNN, Rep.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: Listeners react to President Joe Biden’s speech from Blue Bell, Pennsylvania on the third anniversary of the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol. As some callers note, Biden spent the vast majority of his speech demonizing former President Donald Trump and Trump supporters—though, Biden failed to lay out his own vision for America’s future. During his speech on Friday, President Joe Biden concluded by calling for unity—though, the vast majority of his speech consisted of him attacking Republicans.

The Biden administration warned Texas that it would file a suit if Texas didn't assure federal officials by Wednesday that they wouldn't enforce the new state law, SB4. The state law also allows judges in Texas to issue de facto deportation orders. The Biden administration insists that immigration-related offenses are matters for the federal government, not states.” You can read the full article here: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/justice-department-sues-texas-border-security-law/ 3:10pm- How does the Biden Administration politically benefit by ignoring the immigration problems at the U.S. Southern border?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: While speaking with Jake Tapper on CNN, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) commented on a Biden Administration proposal to spend more money on processing illegal migrants. Quoting a Border Patrol agent he spoke with in Eagle Pass, Texas, Speaker Johnson explained: It's as if I'm at an open fire hydrant. I don't need more buckets to dump the water. I need to turn the flow off." While speaking with Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer on Fox News, Texas Governor Greg Abbott noted that Democrats had been fine with uncontrolled, unlawful migration until the issue began to impact their cities and states. Mayor of Eagle Pass, Texas Rolando Salina, a Democrat, said that migrants who unlawfully cross the U.S. Southern border and do not qualify for asylum should be deported immediately. Even CNN host Anderson Cooper agreed, stating: “The asylum system is completely off the rails. It’s completely broken.” Rich teases a big event announcement coming next week.
