The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:

4:05pm- While the mainstream media gushes over vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz, numerous small business owners are taking to social media to speak out against Walz’s leadership as the Minnesota governor during the Black Lives Matter demonstrations (which caused billions of dollars in property damage) and COVID-19 shutdowns (which led to businesses being permanently shuttered following long-term government lockdowns). In one instance, Lisa Hanson—a small business owner—was thrown in prison for 90-days for violating Walz’s draconian COVID-19 lockdown orders.

4:20pm- Hackers Find Voting Machine Vulnerabilities, But There is No Time to Fix Them: Politico Cybersecurity reporter Maggie Miller writes: “Some of the best hackers in the world gathered in Las Vegas over the weekend to try to break into voting machines that will be used in this year’s election—all with an eye to helping officials identify and fix vulnerabilities.

4:30pm- Dr. Ben Carson—Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development & a Retired Neurosurgeon and Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show with reaction to last night’s conversation between Elon Musk and Donald Trump on the social media platform X. During the conversation, Trump explained that the near assassination attempt in Butler, PA strengthened his belief in God. Dr. Carson agrees with the assessment: “the great spirit above” protected the former president. Plus, should we be concerned about President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline? Dr. Carson hilariously notes that if you saw someone like Biden get into the cockpit of a plane, you wouldn’t want to be a passenger on that flight! Dr. Carson is author of the new book: “The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture’s War on the American Family”—which he co-authored with his wife, Candy Carson.

4:50pm- While speaking with guest Kaitan Collins, Stephen Colbert referred to CNN as “objective” in their new coverage—which unintentionally elicited laughs from the audience. Evidently, everyone knows CNN’s political coverage isn’t objective!
