Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- A new survey from John Anzalone and Tony Fabrizio shows that 63% of voters have an unfavorable view of Democrats—with a net favorability of -30%. Comparatively, President Trump and Republicans have net negative favorability ratings of only 7% and 11%. 3:10pm- In a new report, Fox News correspondent Brooke Singman writes that CIA Director John Ratcliffe is preparing to declassify intelligence which shows U.S. intelligence received credible tips from foreign sources predicting, with what they now deem "alarming specificity," that the FBI would eventually play a central role in a Trump–Russia collusion narrative, before Crossfire Hurricane was even launched. If the new documents reveal prior awareness that foreign actors would anticipate FBI involvement, it strengthens arguments that the Russia collusion narrative was at least partially orchestrated.

0:40.1	And we also have Jay Leno coming out and saying, you know, like, comedy is supposed to be funny and not divide people.
0:42.3	And that's exactly what Stephen Colbert did. So it's really not a surprise that Stephen Colbert got the axe because that's what he was doing.
0:48.7	You know, he was dividing people all the time.
0:50.8	He'd say it by name, but you could really tell that that's what he was, he was implying, was that. It was just this, this notion that this guy is an activist and comedy is not supposed to be for activism. But the bigger point with Colbert, and this is the Democrats in general, it's just their level of anger.
1:11.6	And they're so angry right now because Trump keeps racking up all the wins and, you know, he announces this EU trade deal over the weekend.
