Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Opening Monologue: In a hidden video interview conducted by Project Veritas, Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee David Hogg and former Biden Administration staffer Deterrian Jones revealed that Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff Anthony Bernal “had an enormous amount of power.” Jones continued: “The general public wouldn't know how this man looked, but he wielded an enormous amount of power. I can't stress to you enough how much power he had at the White House.” While appearing on CNN, Alex Thompson—Axios reporter and co-author of “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again”—revealed that Biden Administration cabinet members were not confident that Joe Biden was capable of handling a “2 am crisis,” if one were to occur. So, who was in charge? In a recent segment on PBS, host Judy Woodruff examined whether the president—Donald Trump specifically—has the authority to unilaterally launch a nuclear strike. Why wasn’t PBS expressing similar concern when, according to recent reports, a cognitively fading Joe Biden held the presidency?

We are, I'm, I should say, I'm in New York. I was on America reports, like I said, for 30 seconds, and then they had to go to breaking news.

0:23.6

But that's okay. That's what happens. It's the game. It's all good.

0:26.5

And it's great to be with you on what is a busy day.

0:29.6

I was watching the White House press briefing with Caroline Levitt as yet another judge came out and ruled against the president on tariffs. And that happened yesterday.

0:40.9

And you know what's amazing about all of this is that the Democrats keep screwing up badly,

0:47.7

badly. I mean, obviously, and they're terrible. And yet the judges keep jumping in and

0:54.1

distracting, distracting everybody from all of the

0:58.3

horrible things that they're doing. So I am of the opinion that these judges right now are

1:08.1

purposely just trying to slow things down to get to midterms. Everybody is just trying to slow things down to get to midterms.

1:12.8

Everybody is just trying to slow things down and they can see the other side of this

1:18.6

because it's getting to a point now where you really can't count on the Republicans in Congress

1:24.7

to get the job done.

1:26.5

We see that right now with the one big beautiful bill.

1:30.2

And instead of us talking about that, we're talking about judges.

1:33.1

Instead of us talking about how horrible the Democrats are, we're talking about judges.

1:36.6

We're talking about court orders and rulings.

1:38.9

Now, these court orders and rulings are going to eventually, in my opinion, go the president's way. But the goal here is to

1:47.2

slow all this down and the goal here is to take attention off of everything that the Democrats

1:52.3

are doing wrong. And that's a key part of this because the Democrats are screwing up everything.

2:00.2

And I mean, everything. Let's think about the whole Biden scandal for a second,
