Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- David Gelman— Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Prosecutor, & a Surrogate for Donald Trump’s Legal Team—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray’s Tuesday press conference where he announced charges against Tyler Robinson and confirmed he’s seeking the death penalty for the murder of Charlie Kirk. Gray stated: “The defendant is believed to have targeted Charlie Kirk based on Charlie Kirk's political expression and did so knowing that children were present and would witness the homicide." 5:40pm- Embarrassing: Sen. Cory Booker lost his mind during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel—at one point continually screaming, “I’m not afraid of you!” 5:50pm- Congresswoman Lucy McBath (D-GA) accused FBI Director Kash Patel of making the U.S. less safe under his leadership. Patel rejected her accusation, destroying her claims with facts: “If we're failing...how are we arresting 23,000 violent felons? 2x as many as this time last year. How are we seizing 1,500 kg of meth, 25% increase from last year. We captured four top ten FBI most wanted from around the world in 7 months. That's more than the entirety of the last administration. We put 1,500 child predators in prison. We dismantled 300 human trafficking networks. So, which is it? You don't like me, that's fine. But don't you dare disparage the men and women of the FBI that are producing record results in historic fashion to protect this country. They are kicking ass for America and they're going to continue to do so."

0:54.1	Rich, you are correct. I believe that does mean Esquire. At least I put it in my name every time. It makes me look important. Good. Yeah. Good. Well done. Of course, in addition to being a former prosecutor, you are now a criminal defense attorney, and you have what I still think is the best slogan in the business,

You watched the press conference yesterday.
2:02.1	So from the perspective of a prosecutor, what do you think so far of the evidence the state is
2:08.5	laying out? Do you think there's more that's going to come out? And what is your take on the
