Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:
- On Saturday, former President Donald Trump revealed that he expects to be arrested for hush money payments disturbed to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016—though, no arrest has yet been made. In his latest National Review report, Andrew C. McCarthy writes: “Turns out the state grand jury in Manhattan, which is investigating former president Trump’s Stormy Daniels escapade, will not convene this afternoon. The grand jurors, whose proceedings occur in afternoons…had been on ‘standby,’ waiting for prosecutors to tell them whether they’d be needed today. It is unclear whether, in keeping them on standby, Bragg’s office contemplated presenting testimony from one or more additional witnesses, or asking the grand jurors to vote on an indictment… Based on experience, moreover, we can deduce that Bragg has misgivings because he has already moth-balled the investigation at least once, over a year ago. He resuscitated it under pressure from anti-Trump progressives and a pair of disgruntled prosecutors who quit over his refusal to move forward.” You can read more about McCarthy’s assessment of Trump’s supposedly pending indictment here: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/whats-going-on-in-braggs-grand-jury-investigation-of-trump/
- While appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Colorado Magistrate Judge Kato Crews—whom President Joe Biden has nominated to the U.S. District Court of Colorado—could not answer Senator John Kennedy’s (R-LA) request to define the legal term “Brady Motion.”
- Speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Robert J. Costello, a former legal adviser for Michael Cohen, called his former client a “serial liar” and insisted that Cohen paid hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels without former President Donald Trump’s knowledge.
- Trump Nicknames: In a video posted to Truth Social, former President Donald Trump referred to adult film star Stormy Daniels as “horse-faced.” What’s the better Ron DeSantis nickname, Meatball Ron or Ron DeSanctimonious? The Florida Governor weighs-in.

| 2:00.0 | I'll sign it. And I'll sell that baby for a $1,000,000. Absolutely. Absolutely. I would do those things. And the other part of it too is that if you're going to turn around and say to everybody, Hey, listen, this is, this is we got them, we gotta we arrested them. We got them. And then he beats the rap, which he's going to do. Well that's a problem. That's a problem for everybody, is it not yet is and that's the |
| 2:30.0 | the issue. That's the issue is that if he beats the rap, then what do you do? What do you |
| 2:36.8 | do about it? And he's going to be the rap. So what they're all hoping is, listen, pass |
| 2:41.6 | on this one and maybe let Georgia take a crack at him. I got news for you, but Georgia |
| 2:46.3 | cake case is equally as weak. Look, it's not easy. I mean, it's not hard to find people |
| 2:51.5 | on a grand jury who will indict somebody. That's why the old saying is you can indict a |
| 2:55.2 | ham sandwich, which I'd love to eat right now, because once again, I did not eat lunch |
| 2:59.9 | today. So I'd kill for a ham sandwich right about now, but you can certainly indict one |
| 3:04.0 | quite easily. And that's the point. An indictment is just a charge by the government. It's not |
| 3:09.4 | a conviction. It's not, it's not, you're not incarcerating the person. I mean, there |
| 3:13.2 | are times when people get indicted and they are held without bail, but not in New York |
| 3:17.7 | state where they basically have no bail anymore. So, you know, they could even resist arrest |
| 3:24.3 | and that's not even a crime in New York anymore. They don't, they don't, they don't prosecute |
| 3:28.0 | prostitution. So as long as you use a sex worker, but don't pay your hush money, it's not |
| 3:33.4 | a problem apparently in New York. Actually, none of those things are a problem in New York. |
| 3:37.8 | It's just they want to get him, but the pressure is on Alvin Bragg to now maybe just walk, |
| 3:43.9 | let this one go, you know, walk away from this. And as he's feeling that now from Democrats |
| 3:49.4 | who are saying, listen, all you're doing is helping Trump. He may just decide not to |
