The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/15/2024):

3:05pm- On Thursday, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held a joint event in Prince George’s County, Maryland. During his speech, Biden mockingly referred to Donald Trump as “Donald Dump.”

3:10pm- In a recent interview with The Washington Post, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was quoted as telling Republicans: “We’re out to get you, you’re dead.” The outlandish rhetoric comes one month after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was nearly assassinated while speaking in Butler, PA.

3:15pm- While appearing on Fox News with Bill Hemmer, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard argued that the mainstream media is ostensibly collaborating with Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris—ignoring the drastic changes in her historically far-left policy preferences and allowing her to inaccurately masquerade as a “moderate.” In the past, Harris has supported: a ban on fracking, abolishing ICE, government-imposed limitations on red meat consumption, and ending private health insurance. Will the media hold Harris accountable prior to the start of early voting in mid-September?

3:25pm- Harris Campaign Caught Altering Headlines: White House Correspondent for The Daily Caller Reagan Reese writes, “Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has been caught editing various outlets’ headlines to appear in Americans’ Google searches as sponsored ads, according to an Axios report. Over the last ten days, the Harris campaign has edited the headlines and descriptions of almost a dozen outlets’ articles found through Google search advertisements to appear as search ads from the Harris campaign, according to Axios. Several of those outlets, including CNN, USA Today and NPR, told the outlet they were not aware that their articles were being manipulated for Harris campaign ads.” You can read the full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2024/08/13/kamala-harris-campaign-fake-headlines-google-searches-american-voters-npr-cnn/

3:30pm- Kamala’s Economic Message is Purposefully Light on Detail: Jim Tankersley and Andrew Duehren of The New York Times write, “Vice President Kamala Harris’s sudden ascent to the top of the Democratic ticket has generated a host of questions about her economic agenda, including how much she will stick to the details of President Biden’s positions, tweak them, or chart entirely new ones. When she begins to roll out her policy vision this week, Ms. Harris is likely to answer only some of those questions. During an economy-focused speech on Friday in Raleigh, N.C., Ms. Harris will outline a sort of reboot of the administration’s economic agenda, according to four people familiar with Ms. Harris’s plans. She will lay out an approach relatively light on details, they said.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/14/us/politics/kamala-harris-economy-north-carolina.html

4:05pm- Ukrainian President Zelensky Ordered Nord Stream Destruction: Bojan Pancevski, The Wall Street Journal’s Chief European Political Correspondent, reports: “in the small hours of Sept. 26, Scandinavian seismologists picked up signals indicating an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption hundreds of miles away, near the Danish island of Bornholm. They were caused by three powerful explosions and the largest-ever recorded release of natural gas, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of Denmark. One of the most audacious acts of sabotage in modern history, the operation worsened an energy crisis in Europe—an assault on critical infrastructure that could be considered an act of war under international law. Theories swirled about who was responsible. Was it the CIA? Could Putin himself have set the plan in motion? Now, for the first time, the outlines of the real story can be told…Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved the plan, according to one officer who participated and three people familiar with it. But later, when the CIA learned of it and asked the Ukrainian president to pull the plug, he ordered a halt, those people said. Zelensky’s commander in chief, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, who was leading the effort, nonetheless forged ahead.” You can read the full report here: https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-real-story-da24839c?mod=hp_lead_pos7

4:30pm- Is Kamala’s Sudden Uptick in Favorability Permanent? Not Likely: Steven Shepard of Politico writes: “Voters are seeing Harris in a new light since she became Democrats’ presidential candidate. Throughout the past three years, there’s been a wide gulf between the number of voters who had a favorable opinion of the vice president, and the significantly larger share who viewed her unfavorably...That doesn’t mean it will last, though: Trump’s campaign has started an advertising barrage in battleground states, trying to paint her as “dangerously liberal.” That could dent her favorable ratings, especially as scrutiny of her record ratchets up following her initial campaign rollout. ‘With Kamala Harris, it’s like ‘A Star is Born,’ said Mark Mellman, the lead pollster for then-Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in the 2004 presidential race. ‘It’s not unreal. It’s not unnatural. It’s not fake. But it’s not necessarily permanent. I can certainly imagine a situation where both candidates’ favorabilities decline a little bit.’” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/14/kamala-harris-polls-donald-trump-00174050

5:00pm- On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey. During his address, he accused Kamala Harris of adopting a “Maduro plan” for her economic platform—referencing Venezuela’s socialist authoritarian leader Nicolas Maduro.
