Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:
- While speaking at the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan, President Joe Biden said he should be “blameless” in the event the United States defaults on the national debt—blaming “MAGA Republicans” for stalled negotiations.
- The NAACP has issued a formal travel advisory warning for Florida—claiming Governor Ron DeSantis’ policies are “hostile” towards black Americans. While appearing on CNN, NAACP President Derrick Johnson reacted to statistics indicating Florida is #1 in the country for black owned businesses by arguing that the data was “propaganda language”.
- Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh flipped out and continually chanted “we need trans people!” while speaking from the Senate floor.
- The Mystery Movie Clip!
- Will President Joe Biden use the 14th Amendment to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling? In 2011, then-President Barack Obama said about the 14th Amendment: “I’ve talked to my lawyers. They are not persuaded.” The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes, “[w]hat the 14th Amendment doesn’t allow is the claim by many progressives that the President can issue new debt without the consent of Congress. Merely because Congress has approved new spending doesn’t mean the President can issue new debt on his own authority to finance it. He can’t issue new debt on his own to finance Medicare, for example.” You can read more here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-the-14th-amendment-really-says-debt-ceiling-biden-shut-down-default-constitution-78b24824?mod=opinion_lead_pos1

| 0:30.0 | The N-W-A-C-P issues a travel warning to Florida, the debt ceiling battle intensifies, and Tulsi |
| 0:39.0 | Gabbard says she will not support Joe Biden for president. Good for her. Welcome back to the |
| 0:43.6 | show, glad you're here today. 855-839-1210 on Twitter at Rich Ziole Abizzi News Day today, as we |
| 0:51.4 | kick off another week. And John Kerry is targeting agriculture as part of his wacky climate |
| 0:58.8 | crusade. Yes, the foods you eat. He is targeting agriculture. John Kerry says, the |
| 1:04.5 | sector needs innovation now more than ever. Remember, I told you last week how they're |
| 1:09.0 | coming for your food. They're coming for your children's food. Over the weekend, I bought |
| 1:14.2 | my daughter delicious chocolate milk. And she drank it. She loved it. She loved every |
| 1:19.7 | second of it. It's good for her. Of course, the United States Department of Agriculture |
| 1:22.9 | wants to ban chocolate milk from kids in school, for kids in school. But I think it's |
| 1:27.0 | just one more war against food. They hate cows. They hate them. And special presidential |
| 1:33.4 | envoy for climate John Kerry, probably from his private jet, lamented the agriculture |
| 1:39.7 | production and the way in which it creates 33% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions, |
| 1:48.7 | arguing that those emissions must be front and center in the quest to defeat global warming. |
| 1:55.2 | You may those remarks last week during the aim for climate summit. There's a lot of |
| 2:01.6 | people who have no clue that the agriculture contributes about 33% of all emissions in |
| 2:07.4 | the world. We can't get to net zero. We don't get this job done unless agriculture is |
| 2:12.4 | front and center as part of the solution. So all of us understand here the depths of this |
| 2:18.0 | mission is as food systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the |
| 2:23.5 | way in which we do the things we've been doing. With a growing population on the planet, |
| 2:29.2 | we just crossed the threshold of eight billion citizens around the world. Emissions from |
