The Rich Zeoli Show

Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Wednesday night, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared as a guest on Greg Gutfeld’s Fox News show. During the conversation, Trump joked that “golf is a very dangerous game”—referencing the most recent assassination attempt on him. He also noted that since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris has suddenly changed 14 of her radical, far-left policies in hopes of appealing to moderates in swing states. Does Harris have an authenticity problem with voters? And do independents/moderates actually trust her? 4:15pm- While appearing on Fox News, Steamfitters Local 638 Union member Bob Bartels announced that 70% of his union is supporting Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. According to internal polling, members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters heavily favor Trump over Kamala Harris—58% to 36%. Yesterday, Teamsters leadership announced they would not be endorsing either candidate. It’s the first time the International Brotherhood of Teamsters has opted out of endorsing a presidential candidate since 1996. In 2020, they supported Joe Biden—and have historically endorsed Democrats. 4:20pm- According to a new report from Steven Crowder, Dr. Jay Varma—a former Senior Advisor for Public Health for the New York City Mayor’s Office during the COVID-19 pandemic—admitted on a hidden camera that he participated in drug-fueled sex parties while simultaneously advocating for lockdowns during the pandemic. 4:30pm- It’s 4:30pm—and Rich is still talking about lice… 4:40pm- The Economy Was Roaring When Biden Took Office. In an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, former Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia writes: “In truth, when Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris took over, the economy was rebounding faster than virtually anyone predicted. As labor secretary I projected in June 2020 that the unemployment rate—which had reached 14.7% in April—could drop below 10% by year’s end. That was considered highly optimistic. Not optimistic enough, it turned out. Unemployment in December 2020 was 6.7%. By the time Mr. Biden signed his American Rescue Plan in March 2021, unemployment had dropped to 6.1%. By contrast, unemployment was above 8% for nearly all of Mr. Obama’s first term, and didn’t drop to 6.1% until he’d been in office more than five years. No one heard Messrs. Obama and Biden decrying the high unemployment rate when they ran for re-election in 2012.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-economy-was-roaring-when-biden-took-office-trump-admin-jobs-growth-93727f7c?mod=opinion_lead_pos8
