Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:
3:05pm- Green Energy Costs Automakers 2,450 Jobs: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes, “Stellantis is showing what the real green-energy transition looks like: On Friday the auto maker announced plans to lay off 2,450 workers in Michigan as it ramps up electric-vehicle production…Car makers are struggling to sell higher-priced cars as consumers pull back after three years of inflation. At the same time, the rich labor agreement that Stellantis, Ford and GM struck last autumn with the United Auto Workers is raising costs. The companies need healthy profits from gas-powered trucks to subsidize their money-losing EV production. Hence Stellantis’s scramble to slash costs. The company last month announced buyouts for salaried workers in the U.S. On Friday it said it will lay off as many as 2,450 production workers in Warren, Mich., where it produces its classic Ram 1500 pickup, as it rolls out a new electric model. Workers can send a thank you card to UAW president Shawn Fain.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-real-green-energy-transition-auto-maker-layoffs-stellantis-6fea81f9?mod=opinion_lead_pos2
3:15pm- Copyin Kamala or CopyCat Kamala: During a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris advocated for a new policy which would end taxes on tips. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been openly campaigning on a “No Tax On Tips” pledge for months. Also worth noting, Harris was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act—which expanded the size of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and consequently its ability to crackdown on unpaid tips.
3:40pm- While speaking with Jonathan Karl on ABC’s This Week, Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance said of Kamala Harris’s failed attempt to crackdown on unlawful migration: "We have a wide-open Southern border because our border czar actually set a lot of open border policies."

| 0:05.0 | PhD and the Odyssey app. |
| 0:07.0 | I just filled in for Jimmy Phela on his radio show Fox Across America |
| 0:11.0 | and Jimmy's a great friend obviously as you know his show is |
| 0:15.3 | Saturday night show Fox News Saturday night which Jimmy Phela is crushing it in the |
| 0:19.6 | ratings they asked me back for August 23rd, but unfortunately we'll be on vacation that week. |
| 0:26.0 | So, but I will be back on in September, but show is doing great and real proud of them and it was great to fill in for them today. |
| 0:31.0 | I'm going to play you a couple of the interviews I did with him on I mean on his show they're really good at a congressman from Montana on and my buddy Taylor Riggs from Fox News business. She's great fantastic. We had a great conversation about |
| 0:45.0 | about the economy, so we'll talk about that as the show goes on, but I mean I'm just |
| 0:49.5 | beginning this week with Kamala Harris just blatantly ripping off Donald Trump's ideas |
| 0:54.8 | when it comes to ending taxes on tips and the hypocrisy of these people considering that |
| 1:01.0 | they were going to unleash 78,000 new IRS or 87,000 my dyslexia kicked in, |

| 1:16.8 | tax cheat billionaires. I mean that was what they said but that was a fugasy |
| 1:20.4 | distraction. You, if you made a deposit of $600 or more, fair game for the IRS, kids, they're |
| 1:28.4 | watching you. That means if you maybe, maybe you're like Tim Waltz and you like to do butter carvings and you like to sell |
| 1:35.5 | those butter carvings say on Etsy or Pinterest or I don't know where and you made more than |
| 1:40.8 | six hundred dollars well guess what? Those 87,000 IRS agents are looking at you |
| 1:47.1 | because billionaires and millionaires have their own accountants and law firms and |
| 1:50.4 | they don't worry about that stuff. They take advantage of so-called loopholes, but you can call |
| 1:56.6 | them a loophole if you want, it's the law, it's their exemptions, they're allowed to do it, they |
