Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- According to a report from Axios, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino didn’t show up for work on Friday off after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding her office’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Social media personality Laura Loomer claims that Bongino is at least considering leaving his position over the conflict—adding that FBI Director Kash Patel is equally frustrated with Bondi’s “lack of transparency.” 3:10pm- Dhruv Mehrotra of Wired reports that metadata indicates that the FBI’s raw Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified. Though he adds that doesn’t necessarily mean the footage was “deceptively manipulated.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wired.com/story/metadata-shows-the-dojs-raw-jeffrey-epstein-prison-video-was-likely-modified/. 3:15pm- During an interview with Sean Spicer, Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz claimed he knows for certain that there is an Epstein client list—and that he has seen the names though he is “bound by confidentiality.” He also claimed to know the name of the person responsible for suppressing the release of the files. 3:30pm- On Thursday, federal agents conducted an immigration raid at cannabis farms in Ventura County, California—citing suspected immigration and labor violations, including exploitive child labor. Progressives—including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass—bizarrely responded by condemning the Trump Administration. According to the Los Angeles Times, roughly 500 protesters arrived at the scene to voice their displeasure with the raid, some ultimately resorting to violence—one demonstrator even firing a pistol at federal law enforcement officers. 3:40pm- On Friday, President Donald Trump visited Kerrville, Texas to speak with survivors and first responders who recounted last week’s devastating flash floods.

0:00.0	The Rich Zioly Show podcast is sponsored by Mike Vaneria Jr. with Osparity Private Wealth.
0:05.4	Hi, I'm Mike Vaneria Jr., wealth management specialists. Make your retirement dreams a reality by creating your retirement plan today. Call me at 856-252-0107.
0:15.8	We're waiting to hear the president speak. He's in Texas touring the damage from the floods, the devastation, the
0:21.9	heartbreak, the tragedy there. So we'll probably dip into that a little bit and hear what the president
0:27.0	has to say. There's a lot, very, very busy Friday today. Riders clashed with ice agents
0:33.6	during this raid of this marijuana farm in California, they said there were underage kids working, undocumented underage kids working.
0:43.3	And so the mayor of Los Angeles now, Karen Bass, is coming out with all these protections for illegal immigrants.
0:51.3	And you've got Democrats like her doubling down on protecting illegal
0:54.5	immigrants.
0:55.4	All that's blowing up, too.
0:56.9	But nothing like what's apparently happening in D.C. today.
1:02.3	You know that a story is probably true when it converges between somebody who's considered
1:07.3	by the media to be a conspiracy theorist and then the mainstream media,
1:12.4	and they're both reporting the same thing, and the mainstream media even citing the reporting
1:18.0	of the quote-unquote conspiracy theorist.
1:20.4	So Laura Lumer, if you're not familiar with her, controversial investigative journalist,
1:26.5	as she describes herself, on social media, has the
1:29.5	year of the president, is tight in that circle, and is regarded by the mainstream media as
1:34.9	being a conspiracy nut, all right?
1:38.2	Axios, which is a publication that I would argue skews to the left is reporting on Laura Loomers reporting that Dan
1:47.0	Bonjino, the deputy director of the FBI, Cash Patel, the FBI director, and Pam Bondi,
1:53.8	the attorney general, had a major blow up at the White House. Bonino may quit and is at least now taking the day off.
