The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: Dr. EJ Antoni—Economist & Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial, “The Fed’s Powell Will Have to Play Politics to Keep His Job.” Dr. Antoni writes: “When [Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome] Powell was up for renomination, he dutifully kept interest rates below 1% percent and exploded the Fed’s balance sheet, barely keeping it below $9 trillion in an unprecedented act of money creation. When asked about raising interest rates three-quarters of a percent in the face of 40-year-high inflation, Powell said such a move was off the table and called inflation ‘transitory’… Once the Senate confirmed him for a second term as chairman, however, Powell promptly delivered four of those three-quarter-percent interest rate hikes in a row and began reducing the Fed’s balance sheet to belatedly fight runaway inflation.” You can read Dr. Antoni’s full editorial here: https://ww

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: According to a report from Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman, the Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) for “misspending of federal security money.” The House Sergeant at Arms has been subpoenaed for records relating to the allegations. In a New York Times editorial, Clark D. Cunningham—a law professor at Georgia State University—explains the legal consequences for the alleged improper relationship between lead prosecutor in the Donald Trump Georgia election interference criminal case, Nathan Wade, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Cunningham writes: “Mr. Wade was very involved in both the special grand jury investigation and the current criminal case, despite an absence of obvious qualifications. Although Ms. Willis has defended her decision to hire Mr. Wade, his previous experience as a prosecutor appears to have been largely limited to misdemeanors. The amount paid to Mr. Wade so far is substantial yet Mr. Wade’s billing

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/29/2024): 3:05pm- Michael R. Gordon of The Wall Street Journal writes: “Three U.S. service members were killed and at least 34 were injured in an Iran-backed militia’s drone strike on a base in northeast Jordan, U.S. officials said on Sunday, marking the first American troops killed in hostile action since the start of the Hamas-Israeli conflict in Gaza. A U.S. official said that the attack took place overnight at Tower 22, a small outpost near the Syria border. The drone struck living quarters for the troops, contributing to the high casualties, a U.S. official said. The strike, which was carried out by a one-way attack drone, signals an escalation in the fighting in the region. The president and secretary of defense said the U.S. would retaliate.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/three-u-s-troops-killed-in-drone-attack-in-jordan-b45ddb6b?mod=hp_lead_pos1 3:15pm- While campaigning in South Carolina, President Joe Biden reacted to

Phil Murphy has been using taxpayer resources to promote his wife as she campaigns to become the Garden State’s latest US Senator, according to records and critics. Gov. Murphy’s press office has pumped out a slew of fawning press releases—which appear on the governor’s website—about First Lady Tammy Murphy after she announced her Senate run on Nov. 15.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/01/29/metro/phil-murphys-office-using-taxpayer-resources-to-promote-wife-tammys-bid-for-us-senate/ While speaking from a hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rep.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: Phil Kerpen—President of American Commitment—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the ongoing disaster at the U.S. Southern border, the Biden Administration’s proclamation that they successfully saved the country’s economy, and President Joe Biden’s bizarre decision to ban liquid natural gas exports. Plus, according to a new study New Jersey’s plastic bag ban has actually led to 3x as much plastic being used, as people regularly discard “reusable” bags. NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit airs perhaps the most ridiculously woke episode in the history of television. Karla Treadway—Business Coach for The Sovereign CEO—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about Tucker Carlson’s recent appearance in Canada where he called out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for routinely shutting down free speech and using the power of government to infringe upon civil liberties. For example, just recently a Canadian judge ruled that the state’s decision to use “emergency powers” to stifle trucker

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: According to a new poll from Redfield & Wilton Strategies, 18% of voters would significantly consider casting their ballot for a presidential candidate endorsed by singer Taylor Swift. In 2020, Swift accused Donald Trump of “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism” and vowed to vote him out of office. According to a report from Rebecca Kern of Politico, pro-Biden PACs like Priorities USA have been paying TikTok influencers to push messaging friendly towards President Joe Biden’s reelection efforts. Interestingly, TikTok’s official policy is to ban political advertising—so why are these ads permitted to run? In a video that has gone viral, TikTok influencer Trevor Abney alleges that a political group offered him $50,000 to post a video glorifying the Biden Administration’s economy.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/26/2024): 3:05pm- Earlier this week, in a 5 to 4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the Biden Administration has the authority to remove concertina wire erected by Texas officials along the U.S. Southern border—designed to prevent the unlawful border crossings that continue to plague the state. According to reports, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has continued to place “razor wire” along the border—arguing that the Supreme Court may have authorized the federal government to remove the wiring, but he remains legally permitted to use the wire when he deems it necessary. In response to Abbott’s actions, several Democrat congressmembers have publicly called on the Biden Administration to “federalize” the Texas National Guard, ultimately preventing Abbott from securing his state’s border. 3:10pm- During a Friday afternoon press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked if the American people should be “prepared for the situation on the border to

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: In response to a Manhattan Jury ordering him to pay writer E. Jean Carroll $83 million in a civil defamation suit, Republican presidential candidate Trump posted on his Truth Social account: “Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party. Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!” Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the U.S. Southern border and their compounding of the issue by removing barriers to entry erected by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/25/2024): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, New Hampshire held its Republican presidential primary with Donald Trump ultimately defeating Nikki Haley 54% to 43%. Meanwhile, despite not being sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee and consequently awarding no delegates, President Joe Biden defeated Rep. Dean Phillips 64% to 20%. Biden did not appear on the ballot—citing New Hampshire’s prevention of South Carolina from becoming the party’s first primary state—though his supporters did organize an extensive write-in campaign. According to CNN exit polling, 70% of the New Hampshire voters that cast their primary ballots for Haley in Tuesday’s Republican presidential primary were not registered as Republicans—instead they were “undeclared” registrants. As the primary moves towards more conservative states, like South Carolina, will her support with independent-minded and moderate voters be enough to keep her campaign competitive? 3:10pm- Peter Navarro, former Director of the Offic

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: Matt Viser of The Washington Post writes: “Georges Bergès, an art gallery owner who gave small-dollar donations about 20 times to Donald Trump in 2020, signed an agreement shortly after that year’s election to take on an unusual task: representing Hunter Biden, the son of President-elect Joe Biden, who was pursuing a nascent career as an artist. The agreement produced arrangements that drew concern from ethics experts…In total, there have been 10 buyers of the art, who have paid a sum of $1.5 million. Under their agreement, the gallerist received 40 percent of the sales while Biden took 60 percent. Three of the buyers have been identified, while the other seven remain anonymous. The largest share of the work—11 paintings, for a total of $875,000—went to Kevin Morris, who has become one of Biden’s closest friends while also acting as an attorney and financial benefactor.” You can read the full story here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/23/hunter-biden-paintings-so

Of the Hispanics polled in the Power the Future survey, 63% disapprove of the job Biden has done—with 51% strongly disapproving—while 36% approve of his performance.” You can read more about the poll here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-faces-dire-disapproval-ratings-among-hispanics-in-state-he-won-big-in-2020-poll.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: Despite endorsing Joe Biden over Donald Trump for president less than one day earlier, United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain told Fox News that a “great majority” of his union members “will not vote for President Biden”—opting instead to vote with their “pay checks.” On Wednesday night, United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain announced that the union would be endorsing President Joe Biden for reelection during a conference in Washington D.C. During his speech, Fain referred to presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as a “scab” explaining: “If Donald Trump ever worked in an auto plant, he wouldn’t be a UAW member. He’d be a company man trying to squeeze the American worker. Donald Trump stands against everything we stand for as a union, as a society.” Meanwhile, Biden bragged to the crowd about how he has made buying America and building America a priority of his administration. However, Adam Cancryn of Politico writes: “In swing states and factory t
