Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:
- On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with President Joe Biden—he also spent time speaking with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and several Senate Republicans. President Biden stated that if the U.S. did not immediately provide tens of billions of dollars in additional aid to Ukraine, America would be providing Russian President Vladimir Putin with “the greatest Christmas gift” possible.
- After meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Republicans will not support additional money to Ukraine without first resolving the ongoing domestic crisis at the U.S. Southern border—as thousands of migrants enter the country illegally each day.
- Speaking from the floor of the U.S. Senate, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) explained, “borrowing money from China to send it to Ukraine makes no sense. It makes us weaker, not stronger.”
- While fielding questions from reporters on Capitol Hill, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) discussed the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden’s alleged connections to his family’s foreign business deals, explaining: “We’re not making a political decision…it’s a legal decision.”
- While appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, NBC Correspondent Steve Kornacki explained that according to the latest polling available on the upcoming Iowa Republican caucus, Donald Trump now leads the field with a massive 51% support.
- George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley accused DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith of being “obsessed” with prosecuting former President Donald Trump before the 2024 presidential election.
