Summary

3 - Rich begins this Friday show discussing the much maligned Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin speaking out on his firing from his position due to pressure put on Ukrainian officials by Joe Biden over his investigation into Burisma. Joe threatened to withhold a billion dollars in aide to the country, despite him not having the power to do so, and the Ukrainian government chose to fire Shokin due to “corruption”, despite him having a record as clean as a whistle.

330 - We return to the Biden corruption scandal as the second part of the Tucker Carlson interview with Devon Archer and we listen to an interesting nugget from the sit down. We also get a report from our official in-house economist, E.J. Antoni.

340 - Where do GOP candidates stand against Trump? DeSantis still isn’t looking good despite the third indictment.

350 - RFK Jr. is going after censorship claims. Will Trump be on the debate stage on August 23rd?

4 - We kick this second hour of with a smorgasbord of topics including audio, Kamala word salad, the mask police, Kevin McCarthy going after a reporter, as well as what this Trump indictment means for this country.

430 - Dr. Victoria Coates joins the program with her new official title! Rich discusses the issues in Kabul, where we may have a partnership with… The Taliban? They also discuss the uprising in Niger where we are losing valuable intelligence centers stationed there. But, there has been a PRC invasion into the Navy as two spies were caught relaying information back to China. How do we prevent leaks like these? Rich and Victoria share a love for a mutual friend. Next up, are Israel-US relations and how Biden has reversed course on all the progress made in the Israel-Palestine war, despite major losses from both sides. Has Dr. Coates seen Oppenheimer? What does she think about the Phillies?

5 - Drive @ 5 - Let’s end the week on a high note with Dr. Wilfred Reilly. They start with his new piece in National Review, ‘Not Everyone Who Lived The Day Before Yesterday Was Evil’. He details how standards change over time and to assume everyone in the past is evil because you’re judging them by our standards, instead of using historical context. Then they move to talking the changing curriculum in Florida, with the left calling it racist despite the teachings being completely factual according to historians and being used by every other state. These race stories are almost always revealed as a hoax, but the damage is already done by viewers who see it and internalize it. It’s not like there aren’t atrocities being committed today that will be judged harshly in the future, the difference being you don’t know they are atrocities in the moment. Our morality is not that great, and it's time we stop acting like it is. What does Wilfred think about Barbie? They then move to the fuss over climate change.

540 - The gang discusses movies, reusing intellectual property, and suggestions on what to watch.

6 - The final hour kicks off with a birthday shoutout to Mama Zeoli! We then move to play some audio from Pelosi spewing nonsense, Biden’s bad economy, Kamala’s word salad,

620 - Lee Fang joins the show to discuss police reform and what studies have shown works for police and how Atlanta’s police academy is trying to use those tactics, but protestors on the left have threatened the city with Molotov cocktails and incendiary devices. They don’t want police violence, but they don’t want police reform either, so what are they doing? They then move to the de-escalation tactics used in Newark, which reduced their police shootings to ZERO last year. But instead of using this as a victory for reform, the left turns a blind eye.

640 - The Great One gave his advice to Trump, and he actually accepted it! Rich then moves to the possible indictment over election fraud in Georgia. So you have a county prosecutor going after Trump for speaking with the state governor that he was short votes.

650 - Where do Republicans, including Christie, stand in polling?

0:30.0	So happy with the Biden economy that just talks about Devon Archer just to distract you from how wonderful the economy is. Do you remember that CNN guy said yesterday, right? He said Biden's economy stinks! There's Pol approval numbers stink! Welcome back to the show, glad you're here today. It is a Bommi-Bommi Friday, a little bit rainy up there. 855-839-1210, but we made it. It is Friday. And Tucker Carlson's full interview with Devon Archer is out.
1:00.0	You know what's interesting and Tom Elliott from Gravy and made this observation. He said, no one has spoken. No one in the American media has bothered to talk to a guy named Victor Shokin who was the prosecutor that was fired at the request of Joe Biden, at the pressure by Joe Biden. Do you remember? I mean, really, no one has pointed that fact out and said, why don't we talk to Victor Shokin and get his side of things? Victor Shokin was apparently so cool.
1:30.0	He was so corrupt, right? And Joe Biden goes there and then he sits down and he goes on about how, well, I told him, you know, let's the prosecutors fired. You're going to lose all this money. And they said, well, you're not the president. I said, call him. And then we'll have sort of a B. The prosecutor gets fired and they get the money. How come no one in the American media has come out and said that Victor Shokin, like does the guy get his side of the story told in anything?
1:59.0	They've got to be amazed at Maysmore. They put out a video from Victor Shokin. That's 11 minutes and it's in I guess Ukrainian. So I don't you know, I can't I'm not going to play it. But I'll just I'll tell you a little bit of what he says, it says this is Victor Shokin, he's a Ukrainian prosecutor that Biden accused of being corrupt and had removed in this video. He responds to accusations that his investigation into Barisma was dormant or that he was corrupt. He tells the truth about why he was removed as prosecutor.
2:27.7	This is the Obama administration of using Ukraine.
2:31.0	He says exactly what he thinks of Joe Biden.
2:33.5	It's brutal and it is brutal.
2:35.3	It absolutely is brutal.
2:36.7	And the thing about it is that when, if our media in this country was not corporate media
2:41.5	owned and bought and paid for by, you know, part of the unholy triad of government, corporate
2:46.6	media and big tech, we would have this on TV.
2:50.9	They would be all wanting to sit down with Victor Shokin and say, so tell us your side
2:54.8	of the story, man.
2:55.8	Say this corrupt guy, is that why you were fired?
2:59.6	What's your side?
3:03.3	Shokin came out and said basically, he said, as for the assertion that these investigations
3:08.6	were supposedly dormant, that's not true.
3:12.6	It is impossible.
3:13.6	It is possible to give striking examples.
3:16.0	And in particular, my various actions as prosecutor in Ukraine, after the lifting of a seizure
3:21.8	of Zleczewski's 23 million by the United Kingdom, Zleczewski was the owner of Burisma.
