Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:
- Shortly after delivering the commencement address to the U.S. Air Force Academy on Thursday, President Joe Biden took a scary fall—thankfully, after being helped up by several secret service agents he appeared to be ok.
- On Wednesday night, the House of Representatives voted in favor of a Biden-McCarthy negotiated bill that would suspend the debt ceiling limit through January of 2025—after the presidential election cycle. The bill passed 314 to 117—and, as noted by Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC), it received more support from Democrat lawmakers than Republican lawmakers. The measure will now head to the Senate. Are there any benefits to this bill for conservatives?
- Has Hollywood turned on President Joe Biden?
- While speaking to a crowd on Thursday, Donald Trump reacted to President Joe Biden’s Air Force Academy fall—saying he was glad Biden was ok and suggesting that sometimes you have to “tiptoe” to be extra safe.
- In a recent editorial in The New York Post, Miranda Devine writes about House Oversight Committee witness Gal Luft who fled the country after being accused of being an arms dealer. Luft claims he is innocent and was merely targeted by the federal government for providing House Republicans with information alleging the Biden family financially benefited from selling influence internationally. Devine states: “Luft told them about [Chinese state-controlled energy company] CEFC payments to Hunter and Jim Biden, and that Biden family associate Rob Walker was involved in distributing payments, a fact later corroborated by subpoenaed bank records released by the House Oversight Committee showing Walker funneling more than $1 million from China to at least three of President Biden’s relatives.” You can read the full editorial here: https://nypost.com/2023/05/31/missing-biden-family-corruption-probe-witness-gal-luft-speaks-out-living-as-fugitive-in-undisclosed-location/

| 0:30.0 | Onstage at the United States Air Force Academy where he was saying the United States will never waver on Ukraine, and he fell, and it's ugly, and it's, uh, oof, oof, it's embarrassing. Welcome to the show. Glad you are here today. I don't know if he slipped on a banana, or what, 855-839-1210 on Twitter at rich. Zioly, uh, I tweeted it out. I tweeted out the video just a few moments ago. It's, uh, a bad look for the president. You know, there's that actor, what's his name? |
| 1:00.0 | Mike, who was out there saying, uh, that it's ridiculous that it can't be a debate between Joe Biden and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And his point was Biden is a feeble old man. And I'll tell you what, he doesn't look. I mean, Biden has fallen up the stairs of Air Force One, fallen up the stairs. It's one thing to fall downstairs, but to fall up stairs is a gravity defying feet that only the, the president of the United States has managed to pull off. I mean, really, to fall up. |
| 1:30.0 | People who typically fall down, that's usually how it works, gravity brings things down. He fell up, up several stairs, and multiple, multiple stairs of falling up the stairs of Air Force One. Well, this time, he walks away from the podium, oh, and the reaction from the crowd is just brutal. They start shearing, then he falls down. Then it's just a loud, raucous laugh from, uh, and you could see the cadets are trying not to smile, but they can't help themselves, because you know, they don't like the |
| 2:00.0 | guy. Oh, bad. At the United States Air Force Academy graduation, just really, really ugly. So that happened. And it's already got 209,000 views on Twitter. It was just posted at 250 PM, just 15 minutes ago. And it's already at 210,000 views on Twitter. That number will go up exponentially. And Fox News actually show the video, surprisingly. Now it's at 233,000 views. |
| 2:30.0 | Uh, surprisingly they did. They interrupted their coverage of governor to Santis to, uh, do this. And then they quickly went back to to Santa. So I'm kidding. But it was a lot of to Santa's today on Fox News. No doubt about that. I don't know. This is a long way to go in this campaign. I don't know if I can deal with a covering presidential candidates every single day from now until, uh, they start dropping out like flies, which they're going to do. I mean, especially as they get into the race, you think Chris Christie is really going to be able to raise the money. You think Mike Pence is really going to be able to raise the money. |
| 2:59.6 | Uh, I don't see it. So is it going to be a two man race between to Santa's and, uh, Trump? Who knows. But remember, candidates who were the shining star and the shiny object have fallen in the past. |
| 3:15.6 | So I'm just pointing that out because as the field grows with Pence and Christie, it only helps Trump. |
| 3:22.6 | As more candidates get in that the loot and anti Trump vote, uh, it matters. Now the feds are already talking about indicting him over this leaked audio of him discussing classified documents. |
| 3:34.6 | Uh, and there's no doubt they want to indict him. I mean, they're, they're dying to. They're chopping up a bit. Of course, but this hurts January six. They want to indict him. There's no question about that. Maybe both. I mean, and then Georgia can get it on the mix too. |
| 3:48.6 | Uh, they want to keep coming after him, but they're also increasingly realizing the obvious, which is that he is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. And there's a very good chance he will be the Republican nominee. |
| 3:59.6 | And then you got this feeble old codger who just fell down at the Air Force Academy graduation. When I tell you I would not be surprised if somebody else enters this race, who is a Democrat, this is what I'm talking about. This is exactly what I mean. |
| 4:14.6 | Now, uh, switching gears for a moment to the bill to the bill. It's about to become law. And that is the terrible financial irresponsibility act that passed the house and it's going to pass the Senate most likely. |
| 4:28.6 | Although there's some movements to make a couple of amendments to it. Actually Democrats want. And Chuck Schumer has already said we can't risk it because we can't afford to send it back to the house. |
| 4:39.6 | There's no time. There's no time. And we'll die if the house tries to amend it. America can't afford a delay. Of course, that's BS. And you know that. And I know that there's plenty of time. |
| 4:51.6 | Plenty of time. We're not going to default in our debt today. We're not going to default in our debt tomorrow. We are never defaulting on our debt period. |
| 5:00.6 | The raising the debt ceiling is about money that has not been spent yet. It is not about. It's asking for a credit limit increase because you want to buy new things. It's not to cover the stuff you've already bought. |
| 5:13.6 | All right. That's not why you increase your credit. Increase your credit line as you want to buy another hot tub or something like that, which if you do, by the way, make sure you buy it from spring dance hot tubs. |
| 5:21.6 | But this entire thing as Senator Mike Lee call that is a is a pill. It's a it's a pill that is that fails to tackle the root causes of our fiscal woes. |
| 5:34.6 | Rand Paul said there's nothing conservative about the Biden McCarthy debt limit deal. Nothing. Nothing. |
| 5:41.6 | And Nancy Mace said what I said yesterday on the show, which is the fact that more Democrats, then Republicans are voting for the debt limit bill says a lot about the legislation. It sure does. It really does. |
| 5:53.6 | But listen, nevertheless, despite all of these things that we're discussing here on the show today, you and I both know that as everything is discussed in this entire issue of this debt limit increase, the Republican party does not want this fight. |
