The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

6:05pm- Michael D. Shear of The New York Times writes that on Monday, while speaking from Madison, Wisconsin, President Joe Biden “announced a large-scale effort to help pay off federal student loans for tens of millions of American borrowers, seeking an election-year boost by returning to a 2020 campaign promise that was blocked by the Supreme Court last year. Mr. Biden’s new plan would reduce the amount that 25 million borrowers still owe on their undergraduate and graduate loans. It would wipe away the entire amount for more than four million Americans. Altogether, White House officials said, 10 million borrowers would see debt relief of $5,000 or more.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/08/us/politics/biden-student-loans-debt-relief.html

6:10pm- Will Pennsylvania vote red in 2024? Aaron Zitner and Kris Maher of The Wall Street Journal explain that “energy-economy voters see Biden as hostile to fracking, which taps natural gas trapped in sedimentary rock deep underground. The sector has drawn billions of dollars in new investment in Pennsylvania, much of it in the state’s southwest corner.” You can read the full report here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/fracking-boom-pennsylvania-trump-biden-voters-a360fd1b?mod=hp_lead_pos9

6:30pm- “Civil War,” new dystopian action film starring Nick Offerman, Jesse Plemons, and Kirsten Dunst is set to release this week. During an interview, Offerman was asked if the film’s premise had anything to do with Donald Trump dividing America—he quickly dismissed the notion.

6:40pm- While on vacation, Rich missed last week’s earthquake in New Jersey. BUT he did not miss today’s solar eclipse…well, he sort of did because he couldn’t see anything from the studio.
