The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:

• Doug Brunt— New York Times Best Selling Author and Historian—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his new book: “The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel: Genius, Power, and Deception on the Eve of World War I.” Brunt writes: “After rising from an impoverished European childhood, Diesel had become a multi-millionaire with his powerful engine that did not require expensive petroleum-based fuel. In doing so, he became not only an international celebrity but also the enemy of two extremely powerful men: Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany (who wanted to use the engine to power a fleet of submarines that would finally allow him to challenge Great Britain’s Royal Navy) and John D. Rockefeller (the founder of Standard Oil and the richest man in the world). At the outset of this new age of electricity and oil, Europe stood on the precipice of war. Rudolf Diesel grew increasingly concerned about Germany’s rising nationalism and military spending. The inventor was on his way to London to establish a new company that would help Britain improve its failing submarine program when he disappeared.” On Wednesday, October 11th Brunt will take part in a moderated conversation in Haverford, PA.

• In response to Hamas-led terror attacks on Israel, the United States has sent the USS Gerald R. Ford—a $13 billion aircraft carrier equipped with cutting edge technology—to the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
• In a statement released on Monday, Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) seemingly blamed an “apartheid state” for the Hamas-led attack on Israel. Understandably, Tlaib received backlash for not vociferously condemning the acts of terror orchestrated by Hamas.
