The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/12/2023): 3:05pm- In her most recent article, India McKinney of the Electronic Frontier Foundation condemns the House Intelligence Committee’s proposed surveillance reform bill. She writes: “the House Committee on the Judiciary (HJC) and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) marked up two very different bills (H.R. 6570—Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act in HJC, and HR 6611, the FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2023 in HPSCI), both of which would reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)—but in very different ways.” Alarmingly, HR611 “would renew the mass surveillance authority Section 702 for another eight years. It would create new authorities that the intelligence community has sought for years, but that have been denied by the courts. It would continue the indiscriminate collection of U.S. persons’ communications when they talk with people abroad for use by domestic law enforcement. This

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: After meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Republicans will not support additional money to Ukraine without first resolving the ongoing domestic crisis at the U.S. Southern border—as thousands of migrants enter the country illegally each day. Meanwhile, speaking from the floor of the U.S. Senate, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) explained, “borrowing money from China to send it to Ukraine makes no sense. It makes us weaker, not stronger.” Is an agreement between Republicans and Democrats to fund Ukraine, Israel, and the U.S. Southern Border right around the corner? Karoun Demirjian of The New York Times reports, “As Zelensky and Biden addressed the public, Senate negotiators claimed to have made progress toward a deal on funding Ukraine’s war while stepping up domestic border security. ‘We made substantive progress,’ Senator Kyrsten Sinema, independent of Arizona, told reporters, after exiting a closed-door meeting with Senate ne

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: On Tuesday afternoon, President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a joint press conference at the White House. During his address, President Biden said, “[Russian President Vladimir] Putin is banking on the United States failing to deliver for Ukraine. We must prove him wrong.” Catie Edmondson of The New York Time writes: “As Biden speaks, a bipartisan group of senators, congressional aides, and administration officials are meeting in the Capitol to try to broker an impasse on immigration talks, in an effort to unlock new funding for Ukraine. But time is rapidly running out: Congress is set to leave Washington at the end of this week.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/12/12/us/zelensky-biden-visit/9569688b-07da-59f1-b5a5-e4cbf1cf302e?smid=url-share President Joe Biden briefly took questions from the press following his Tuesday address on Ukraine.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with President Joe Biden—he also spent time speaking with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and several Senate Republicans. President Biden stated that if the U.S. did not immediately provide tens of billions of dollars in additional aid to Ukraine, America would be providing Russian President Vladimir Putin with “the greatest Christmas gift” possible.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/11/2023): 3:05pm- On Saturday, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigned from her position following controversial statements she made during a U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee hearing. During one exchange with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) asked Magill if calls for Jewish genocide on campus would violate the school’s code of conduct. Magill responded: “If the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment.” Rep. Stefanik then countered, “conduct meaning committing the act of genocide?” Melissa Korn of The Wall Street Journal writes, “Magill will stay on until an interim president is appointed, and afterward will remain a member of the law school faculty, according to a letter sent from board chairman Scott L. Bok.” You can read more here: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/university-of-pennsylvania-president-resigns-amid-furor-over-comments-on-antisemitism-on-campus-658d74cd 3:30pm- Ellen Nakashima and Joseph Menn of The Washington Post

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: John Yoo— the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley & a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “Hunter Biden’s Bluff and Gambit.” Plus, special counsel Jack Smith has requested the U.S. Supreme Court determine if Donald Trump’s presidential immunity defense is legitimate, and whether it would make him immune from allegations that he attempted to subvert the 2020 presidential election. You can read Professor Yoo’s article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/12/hunter-bidens-bluff-and-gambit/ While appearing on State of the Union with Jake Tapper, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) criticized his colleagues who are eager to send more money to Ukraine but don’t seem quite as interested in ending the devastating war. Vance asks: “What is $61 billion going to accomplish that $100 billion hasn’t?” While appearing on 60 Minutes, tennis player Novak Djokovic said h

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: Dr. E.J. Antoni—Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his most recent article for The Daily Caller, “Lyin’ Joe Biden Has Become the Pinocchio-In-Chief.” Dr. Antoni writes, “the average American worker is now paying $4.97 per hour in the hidden tax of inflation, effectively doubling how much he or she pays in federal income tax.” Plus, is now the worst time ever to buy a home in America?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: Last week, Harvard University President Claudine Gay testified before the House Education and Workforce Committee. During one noteworthy exchange with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Gay refused to say anti-Semitic speech was violative of the school’s code of conduct—arguing that Harvard is an ardent supporter of free speech. In 2020, Rep. Stefanik was appointed to a Senior Advisory position with the Harvard Institute of Politics—however, because she was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump during the 2020 election, the student body protested the appointment and Harvard ultimately fired her. So, the notion that Harvard is an ardent supporter of free speech is flawed—they seem to only support speech provided it gels with the popular progressive opinions of the moment. Caleb Howe of Mediaite writes that “the Harvard Corporation, one of the two boards governing the Ivy League school, will meet Monday” to determine whether Gay should retain her position as university president.” You can rea

5 - Drive @ 5 - Rich goes on a tirade, refuting the ludicrous statements that Hunter Biden made on Moby, of all peoples’, podcast. Hunter claims Russian disinformation created those naked pictures of him, among other insane lies he spouted as a meager way to try and clear him and his family’s name. 530 - Who cares about Moby? Car thefts in Philly hit an all-time high with a month to go. If only there was something we could do about it… 550 - Is the potato a vegetable? The government is going after our spuds.

6 - Hunter Biden is indicted. So what does this mean for Trump and Biden head to head? It means that Trump is going to crush Biden and Democrats need to stop running the same old plays because the defense of We The People can read their crappy offense. And the worst part is that Joe Biden is the quarterback that just won’t retire despite dragging the whole team down. 630 - Democrats like Gavin Newsome and Gretchen Whitmer are chomping at the bit to replace Joe biden. The only time Democrats get in trouble is if you’re not helping the cause anymore, hence the indictment handed out last night as the world continues to crumble around Ol’ Joe.  650 - How to get rid of Joe Biden: follow blueprint of what is happening right now. Cover-ups, whistleblowers, indictments, etc… Hit the road Jack!

3 - Rich comes out firing as Hunter Biden is indicted for not paying his taxes! Is this a way to push Joe Biden out? Well, yes. Go through the son to get to dad because nobody wants Biden and Democrats don’t believe Trump will be a dictator. Despite him not paying his taxes, Hunter was out spending, living the lavish lifestyle of escorts and porn sites. But after months of bending over backwards for the special counsel assigned to this case, they have turned their back and said they've bowed to Republican pressure. The Intelligencia doesn’t want these Biden Buffoons anymore! 320 - Matt is out today for Harvard elitist reasons. Rich reads your tweets. None of this would be happening if the DOJ thought Biden had a chance in the election.  330 - A White MAGA Supremist Torched MLK Jr’s childhood house… hold on, I’m being told that is a young black woman committing the crime. Well in that case, I’m sure we’ll never hear about this woman ever again.  350 - mRna is trending on Twitter because of a revelation that th

4 - Joe Biden is trying to bribe Pennsylvanians as 67,000 residents have had their student loans wiped away. Democrats love going above the law in order to do what they think will win them voters. 410 - An update on Deadspin going after a 9 year old boy, slandering him as a racist in an article. They now have revised it to save themselves legally, but still no apology.  420 - Rich takes your calls. 430 - COP28 is having Wagyu burgers for dinner, I thought we were supposed to cut back on our meat consumption?  440 - Details on the charges Hunter is facing. 450 - Rich and Henry discuss college athletes from major conferences wanting a piece of the revenue pie, but Henry disagrees on how they should be paid.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: In an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal, Heather McDonald writes, “Tuesday’s House hearing on campus antisemitism ratcheted up the pressure on American universities: counter the anti-Israel vitriol that exploded in the wake of Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack or risk losing philanthropic and government support. The leading approach is sure to fail: doubling down on the ideologies and practices that led to the pro-Hamas fever in the first place… The real issue on campuses isn’t antisemitism but the anti-Western ethos that has colonized large swaths of the curriculum. Elite schools once disdained Jews because they were seen as outsiders to Western civilization. Now they are reviled as that civilization’s very embodiment. Students explain that their hatreds come from what they learn in class—that the West is built on white supremacism and oppression. Israel is cast as the Western settler-colonialist oppressor par excellence.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/art

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: Christopher Tremoglie of The Washington Examiner writes: “It is 2023, and the phrase ‘Christmas tree’ is still too offensive and triggering for the Democrats in Philadelphia’s government. While we live in an era with Democratic political leaders expressing a cultlike devotion and rampant commitment to ‘inclusion,’ the left-wing government officials who control the city purposely excluded the name Christmas from its annual tree lighting ceremony last week. Instead, the city referred to it as a ‘holiday tree’ in press releases and advertising that promoted the event. But there’s no such thing as a ‘holiday tree.’” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/philadelphia-refuses-christmas-tree-annual-lighting-ceremony Raphael Satter of Reuter writes: “Unidentified governments are surveilling smartphone users via their apps' push notifications…In a letter to the Department of Justice, Senator Ron Wyden said foreign officials were demanding the data

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: On Wednesday night, the Republican Party held its fourth Presidential Primary debate—featuring Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Gov. Chris Christie, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. During one notable exchange, Ramaswamy attacked Haley on her foreign policy positions explaining, “you can put lipstick on a Dick Cheney, it’s still a fascist neocon.” While appearing on CBS News, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said that she believes the government should avoid interceding in gender reassignment procedures for children. Should the government protect children against irreversible procedures even in the event the child’s parent endorses the decision? During Wednesday night’s Republican Presidential Primary debate Gov. Ron DeSantis attacked Haley for her response—exclaiming that the government should be protecting children from what ostensibly amounts to a form of child abuse. During last night’s debate, moderator Megyn Kelly hilariously asked
