Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:
- Liz Wolfe—Associate Editor at Reason & Author of the Reason Roundup morning email newsletter—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss student organizations at Harvard University that have explicitly, and outlandishly, blamed Israel for the Hamas-led attacks on Israeli citizens. Equally problematic are professors on campuses like Columbia University and Cornell University that have openly excused the actions of Hamas terrorists. Why was leadership at these elite universities so reluctant to condemn these actions and statements? You can find Wolfe’s work here: https://reason.com/people/liz-wolfe/
- Max Marin of The Philadelphia Inquirer writes: “Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of Officer Richard Mendez and the wounding of Officer Raul Ortiz, who were shot on Thursday while responding to a car theft in a parking garage at Philadelphia International Airport.” During an afternoon press conference on Monday, the Philadelphia Police Department identified the suspect as Yobranny Martínez Fernández—though, they are still actively searching for two other suspects. You can read more about the developing story here: https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia-airport-shooting-arrest-richard-mendez-raul-ortiz-20231016.html
- While speaking with reporters, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), despite being a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, will not be in attendance for a classified briefing on Israel Wednesday. Last week, Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent for Egypt. He had previously been charged with accepting bribes in exchange for influence.
- Rich is joined by 1210 WPHT producers Anthony and Dan who are at Citizen Bank Park ahead of tonight’s Game 2 playoff matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks. The series is best of seven. The Phillies currently lead the series 1-0.
