The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:

• On Friday’s episode of Real Time, host Bill Maher insisted that President Joe Biden needs to drop out of the 2024 presidential race—comparing him to former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who held on to her position for too long.
• While speaking in Anaheim, CA at the California Republican Party Convention, Donald Trump hypothesized that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is waiting to replace President Joe Biden as the Democrat party’s 2024 presidential nominee.
• On Saturday, the House drafted a 45-day stopgap spending bill that would temporarily fund government and avert a shutdown through November 17th. The bill passed with bipartisan support—335 to 91 in the House and 88 to 9 in the Senate. After signing the bill into law, President Joe Biden blamed Republicans for the near shutdown and insisted that the legislative branch needed to provide more funding for Ukraine. While appearing on Fox News, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) said Republicans “did not get anything” out of the stopgap funding measure.
• While appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was asked if he would consider being Donald Trump’s Vice President. DeSantis explained: "No, I'm running for president…We need somebody that can win states like Georgia and Arizona, which President Trump cannot do and did not do.”
• Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has appointed Laphonza Butler to replace Dianne Feinstein’s vacant seat in the United States Senate representing California. Butler is the president of Emily’s List—a far-left organization that advocates for abortion rights. Critics of the appointment note that until just recently Butler was a registered voter of Maryland and may even still live in the state.
• On Saturday, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building just prior to the House holding its vote on a stopgap spending measure to avoid a government shutdown. Although Rep. Bowman has claimed he pulled the alarm in error, some have speculated that it was a tactic to delay the House vote—providing Democrat members of the House additional time to read through the Republican proposed legislation.
• On October 9th in Philadelphia, PA, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce he will continue his campaign as an Independent. What kind of impact will this have on the 2024 election?
• Vermin Supreme—a man best known for wearing a boot on his head like a hat—has announced he will be running for president. Supreme’s platform includes free ponies for all Americans and a pledge for substantial investment in time travel so that he can go back in time to kill baby Adolf Hitler. Matt desperately wants to have Supreme on the show—will Rich allow him to extend an invitation?
