Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- The Democratic National Committee has taken the initial steps to void the results of a party election that resulted in David Hogg and Kenyatta Johnson winning Vice Chair positions. According to complaints, the initial vote disadvantaged female candidates. However, Rich speculates that the real reason Hogg is on the verge of being replaced is because he has threatened to spend $20 million primarying moderate Democrats in the House of Representatives. 3:10pm- According to a report from Politico, internal polling suggests that Senator John Fetterman’s (D-PA) support with Pennsylvania-based Democrats has faded—with only 46% having a “favorable” opinion of him currently. Meanwhile, New York Magazine reports that staffers for Fetterman are voicing concerns about the state of his mental health. But are these stories suddenly being pushed because Fetterman has vocally opposed the far-left? While speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill last week, Fetterman called the article a “hit piece” and noted that it only has one source. 3:20pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN’s Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden’s aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling. While Tapper is reporting on these stories now, why wasn’t he doing so prior to Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? 3:35pm- While speaking with Ross Douthat of The New York Times, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) struggled to defend his position that biological males should be permitted to participate in women’s sports. Rich jokes: this might the worst answer to a question since Kamala Harris’s appearance on The View just before the 2024 presidential election. 3:40pm- Democrat political strategist James Carville is now imploring his party to stop using terms like “intersectionality” and “oligarch”—noting that common Americans don’t use those terms and “don’t know what the f*** you’re talking about.” 3:55pm- While speaking from Riyadh, President Donald Trump announced that Saudi Arabia will be investing $600 billion in the United States economy—focusing on technology development and including a $142 billion defense sales agreement. PLUS, should President Trump accept a $400 million plane from Qatar? According to reports, it would replace the current Air Force One—which is nearly 40 years old—and would eventually be gifted to the Trump Presidential Library after Trump leaves office in 2029.

favorite kind of days. On the Jersey side of the river yesterday, just as we were getting off the air,

0:27.7

President Donald Trump endorsed Jack Chittarelli for governor of New Jersey in the Republican primary.

0:35.3

That's a big endorsement, obviously, to get the president's endorsement. On the

0:39.9

Pennsylvania side, Democrats are now openly all calling on John Federman to resign. They are trying

0:46.3

to get rid of John Federman because John Federman has seen the writing on the wall that he's not

0:51.7

going to have a future in Pennsylvania politics if he

were to continue down the path he was down, which is a path of being coming Bernie Sanders.

1:11.8

1:14.5

Pennsylvania is probably no longer a swing state.

1:17.0

It is a red state by all counts where Democrats can win if they're moderate Democrats,

1:23.0

but they have no chance of winning if they're going to be if they're going to be cooks.

1:26.9

Federman won that

1:27.9

primary against guys like Malcolm Kenyatta, whatever's name is in Philadelphia, who's a radical

lunatic. And that guy wanted to be the DNC co-chair along with David Hogg and they both
