The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/20/2025): 3:05pm- In a statement on Sunday, former President Joe Biden’s office announced that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone. In response to the news, President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social: “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.” 3:15pm- In an interview with Joe Nocera of The Free Press, Dr. Mark Scholz—a prostate cancer specialist—said that White House doctors either neglected to test Joe Biden for the disease, in which case they are “perhaps the most incompetent doctors on the face of the earth,” or they held the information from the public. He also suggested that its possible Biden was being treated for cancer while serving as president—noting that treatment symptoms could include an “unsteady gait, loss of muscle mass, and even loss of memory.” You can read the full article here: https://www.thefp.com/p/when-did-biden-know-he-had-cancer. 3:30pm- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump visited Capitol Hill where he spoke with Republican members of the House—imploring them to vote in favor of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. On Sunday night, the House Budget Committee successfully advanced the Republican tax and spending bill through committee vote—with the final vote being 17-16 in favor. The bill would extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts while reforming Medicaid and other government subsidy programs. The House Rules Committee is expected to take up the legislation later this week. Congressmen Ralph Norman, Andrew Clyde, Josh Brecheen, and Chip Roy voted “present” which allowed the bill to move forward. 3:40pm- While speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill, President Donald Trump insisted there will be no changes to Medicaid or Medicare—and that the “only thing we’re cutting is waste, fraud, and abuse.” 3:45pm- Jake Tapper’s new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president’s physical and cognitive decline is due to be released later this week. While Tapper is now reporting on internal stories about Biden’s health decline, why did he ignore the story prior to Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? Notably, during an interview with Lara Trump, Tapper vociferously denied Joe Biden was experiencing any sort of cognitive decline and suggested that people were merely picking on the then-president for suffering from a life-long stutter. 4:05pm- From the Oval Office, President Donald Trump—alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—announced the development of a “Golden Dome” missile defense program.
