The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:

• In a recent segment, ABC’s Good Morning America featured Cookie Monster railing against “shrinkflation”—favorably quoting Democrat Senators Bob Casey (PA) and Sherrod Brown (OH). But wasn’t it the Democrat party’s budget-busting spending policies that created shrinkflation?
• While appearing on CBS News’ 60 Minutes, former Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz revealed that he “never had one conversation” with President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris. National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby was asked about the comments while speaking with Martha MacCallum on Fox News. After awkwardly trying to avoid answering how it was possible Biden hadn’t met with border patrol leadership even once in over three-years, Kirby eventually gave up and said he didn’t have Biden’s schedule in front of him.
• Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about her recent trip to Japan and Taiwan. How would they react to Chinese aggression in the region, and threats to Taiwan’s autonomy specifically? During the trip, Dr. Coates met with Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen, as well as the President-Elect Lai Ching-te. Earlier today, new obstruction of justice charges were filed against Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ)—who has also been accused of conspiring to act as an agent of Egypt. How does Menendez remain on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee given the charges? Dr. Coates explains he has “undermined our national security.” Dr. Coates is the author of “David’s Sling: A History of Democracy in Ten Works of Art.” You can find her book here: https://www.amazon.com/Davids-Sling-History-Democracy-Works/dp/1594037213
