The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (07/10/2024):
3:05pm- More big names are publicly questioning whether it’s in the Democratic Party’s best interest to place Joe Biden at the top of their 2024 ticket—including actor George Clooney and Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman. In a post on X, former Obama Administration speech writer—and co-host of Pod Save America—Jon Lovett explained, “it’s hard to deny that in the two weeks since the debate, it’s the arrogant and small Joe Biden we’ve seen most - hanging on, bragging, defensive, angry, weak. Who else but him? he wonders aloud. Only God could change his mind, he tells us. The stakes for the country are all that matter. The stakes for Joe Biden are beside the point. But it’s worth saying just the same: Joe Biden can leave office as one of the greatest presidents in our lifetimes, who defeated Trump and put his country first at every turn; or he can leave a stubborn old man who allowed hubris and insecurity to destroy his legacy and perhaps our democracy with it. We all have our best and worst selves, scrambling over each other, battling it out in the moments that define us. Where is the Joe Biden we elected? Where is the statesman? I hope that version of him shows up soon. And I hope the people around him know where to look.” You can read the full statement here: https://x.com/jonlovett/status/1811086031531495457
3:15pm- Is there more to John Lovett’s denunciation of Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy than initially meets the eye? Rich notes that all of a sudden quite a few Obama-loyalists are aggressively attempting to convince Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Is Barack Obama orchestrating Biden’s exit behind the scenes?
3:35pm- In his latest opinion article for The Wall Street Journal, former Counsel to the Chairman of the Federal Election Commission Charlie Spies writes: “If [President Joe] Biden drops out before the Democratic Party formally makes him its nominee, then Federal Election Commission rules dictate that no more than $2,000 of any campaign funds that he raised may be transferred to any other candidate, including [Vice President Kamala] Harris.” You can read the full op-ed here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-has-100-million-reasons-to-stay-in-election-finance-d8a2dfdf?mod=opinion_lead_pos5
3:40pm- What on earth did Joe Biden just say about NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg’s wife!?!? Poor Mrs. Stoltenberg! According to the official White House transcript, Biden said: “Mr. Secretary, you’ve guided this alliance through one of the most consequential periods in its history. I realize I—as I was talking to your wife—I personally asked you to extend your service. (Laughs.) Forgive me. (Laughter.)” But that isn’t at all what it sounded like…
4:05pm- Caroline Sunshine—Deputy Director of Communications, Donald J. Trump for President—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview next week’s Republican National Convention and the party’s new platform which explicitly promises to prevent World War III. PLUS, she offers a recap of last night’s big Trump campaign rally in Doral, Florida where an estimated 45,000 supporters attended.
4:15pm- During Tuesday’s campaign rally in Doral, Florida, Donald Trump challenged Joe Biden to 18 rounds of golf—and pledged to donate $1 million to a charity of Biden’s choosing if Biden wins. Biden’s campaign team quickly rejected the offer. Trump also weighed-in on Biden’s health—accusing the White House of engaging in “the biggest cover-up in political history” by hiding the president’s quickly diminishing cognitive abilities.
4:35pm- While speaking with MSNBC, Rep. Nancy Pelosi said of Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy: “It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run.” Her statement is far from an endorsement.
4:45pm- Is there more to John Lovett’s denunciation of Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy than initially meets the eye? Rich notes that all of a sudden quite a few Obama-loyalists are aggressively attempting to convince Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Is Barack Obama orchestrating Biden’s exit behind the scenes?
5:05pm- Trump’s Vice President Pick: According to Michael C. Bender of The New York Times, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump had hoped to announce his running mate at the Republican National Convention. However, “convention rules require the party to nominate its presidential ticket on Monday, and it would be hard to nominate a ticket that’s not yet officially announced. Republicans could vote on a rule change, but that would be just one of many changes that would ripple across the convention program.” Bender continues: “On Saturday, Mr. Trump will visit Butler County, Pa…The location would seem to be an ideal setting to introduce Mr. Vance, the former venture capitalist and best-selling author of “Hillbilly Elegy.” Another potential hint: One of the closest Ohio towns to Butler County is East Palestine, where Mr. Vance and Mr. Trump teamed up in February 2023 to criticize the Biden administration’s response to a train derailment that forced residents to evacuate and escape toxic chemicals.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/10/us/politics/trump-running-mate-finale.html
5:20pm- On Wednesday, The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro testified before the House Judiciary Committee condemning government influence on social media platforms.
5:25pm- On a recent episode of his podcast, NBC’s Chuck Todd conceded that two years ago a Biden Administration cabinet official told him that Joe Biden can’t possibly run again due to health impairments.
5:30pm- In a video acquired by TMZ, George Stephanopoulos can be heard saying that he doesn’t believe Joe Biden has the ability to serve as president for another four years. Last week, Stephanopoulos conducted a longform interview with Biden.
5:45pm- Luke Rosiak of The Daily Wire reports: “The Department of Human Services has lost at least 85,000 children who crossed the border illegally as ‘unaccompanied minors’ after placing them with ‘sponsors’ who may be trafficking the children into prostitution or forced labor, according to multiple government whistleblowers who laid out the process to a Senate panel Tuesday.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/whistleblowers-detail-how-85000-unaccompanied-minors-went-missing-after-biden-admin-dropped-them-off-with-sponsors?topStoryPosition=2
6:05pm- Ryan Saavedra of The Daily Wire writes: “White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday that a Parkinson’s disease doctor who visited the White House in January did, in fact, meet with President Joe Biden, correcting a false claim she had made the day before. Jean-Pierre had been asked whether a meeting on January 17 between White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor and neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard, revealed by White House visitor logs, was related to Biden. The AP reported that it was the only visit the two had, at least on paper, between July 2023 and March 2024. That period came into focus because Cannard had visited the White House eight times during that span.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/karine-jean-pierre-falsely-claimed-parkinsons-doctor-didnt-meet-biden-in-january
