Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:
5:05pm- NBC News Washington Correspondent Yamiche Aclindor reports that the Harris-Walz campaign is “not engaging on whether or not [Tim Walz] was falsifying his military record.”
5:10pm- JD Vance Accuses Tim Walz of Lying About Military Service: Caitlin Doornbos and Josh Christenson of The New York Post write, “veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of ‘embellishing’ his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit’s 2005 deployment to Iraq. In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018 as he first ran for governor, retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr said Walz retired from his 24-year tenure in the National Guard after learning that his battalion would be deployed to Iraq, despite allegedly assuring his fellow troops he would join them.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/08/06/us-news/tim-walz-embellished-military-career-for-years-dropped-from-national-guard-unit-ahead-of-iraq-deployment/
5:15pm- In a recently unearthed clip, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz states: “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are out.” Despite the statement, Walz has never seen combat—retiring from the National Guard before he would have deployed to Iraq.
5:20pm- On the most recent episode of “The Chuck Toddcast,” NBC Chief Political Analyst Chuck Todd and political commentator Chris Cillizza debunked the narrative that Kamala Harris is comparable to Barack Obama—noting that she has, historically, never been a strong candidate in her previous races. More importantly, should Matt receive hazard pay for listening to “The Chuck Toddcast” for show content?
5:30pm- Montage: Kamala Harris has a history of calling for “equity”—and equitable redistribution—mandated by the government.
5:40pm- Andy Bloom—President of Andy Bloom Communications & former Communications Director for Rep. Michael R. Turner (R-OH)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for Broad + Liberty, “Greetings from Minnesota.” You can read the full article here: https://broadandliberty.com/2024/08/08/andy-bloom-greetings-from-minnesota/
