May 31, 2026, 9 AM; Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is scheduled to appear before a House Appropriations subcommittee Tuesday, where he could face new questions about the Department of Justice's mishandling of the investigation. In her interview with the House Oversight Committee Friday, Former Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared to shift blame for the mishandling of the files' release onto Blanche, saying she “delegated oversight” to Blanche for the investigation and the release of the files. Bondi also reportedly raised questions about FBI director Kash Patel's role in the files release. Congressman Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the Overisight Committee says the panel will subpoena both Blanche and Patel. Rep. Ro Khanna joins The Weekend to share his thoughts on Pam Bondi's evasive testimony.

May 9, 2026, 8 AM ; Sources tell MS NOW that Patel has "ordered the polygraphing of more than two dozen former and current members of his security detail, as well as other staff." This follows a series of unflattering reports about his leadership from The Atlantic – one describing the FBI Director as drinking to excess, missing important meetings and using federal resources for personal endeavors. The other describes him traveling with a supply of personalized branded bourbon bottles that he has been handing out as gifts. The bureau denies the accuracy of both reports and it has gone as far as launching a criminal leak investigation into the journalist who wrote both pieces. Former Federal Prosecutor Paul Butler and Former DOJ Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer join The Weekend to discuss the accusations against the FBI Director and new comments from Former Special Counsel Jack Smith that the DOJ has been "corrupted."

Then: Harris campaign senior advisor and spokesperson Adrienne Elrod shares the inside scoop on how the campaign team viewed the vice president's debate performance and what they are focused on in this final sprint to November.

President Donald Trump has no issues answering questions in hostile environments, yet Vice President Kamala Harris has remained silent to the point that some mainstream media members are getting fed up with her refusal to do an interview or hold a press conference. CNN's John Berman repeatedly asked Adrienne Elrod, a spokesperson for the Harris-Walz campaign, if the VP had time in her schedule to answer questions. Elrod insisted that Harris has been too busy campaigning to answer direct questions. The Sekulow team discusses Harris' avoiding the media, the latest 2024 presidential election polls, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.
What’s Trending: A teen that allegedly killed a man in Kent during a high speed chase had previous run-ins with the law but was only put on an ankle monitor. Jason wrote a poem about a druggie park near his apartment. // Republicans for Kamala Harris were never really Republicans. // In a rare moment of media scrutiny, CNN’s John Berman asked Kamala Harris’s spokesperson Adrienne Elrod why Harris hasn’t been speaking with the press. Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman got embarrassed on Fox News when he claimed that Trump is afraid to debate Kamala Harris.

Today's show opens with a Friday favorite, Tara Bull's Top 10 News Stories the Legacy/mainstream media likely didn't tell you this week. It's always fun to open our Friday show with a rapid-fire look at some of the news from the past week. Next, I bring you a quote from Thomas Sowell. It's a statement on the kinds of people who are attracted to government. It's a bit of an indictment on the personalities who feel they are both better than us, but also not subject to the ills they cause. Before we dive into President Biden's Big Boy Conference, we get a few bites from media ahead of time. Earlier in the day, Biden accidentally introduced President Zelensky of Ukraine as President Putin. This leads to ABC's Rick Klein, Washington Bureau Chief to remind the audience the democrat primary was rigged for Biden. Over at CNN, Jake Tapper, still flirting with the ideals of actual journalism, discusses the revelation that the Biden campaign asked a Wisconsin radio station to edit an interview they had with President Biden. While former WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that never happens, here we are with a blatant example. We then spend the bulk of the rest of the show going through the Big Boy Press Conference. Joe had a teleprompter. Joe had a list of reporters. And reporters were selected ahead of time. So much for it being a true “Big Boy” conference. Biden's first gaffe was referring to VP Harris and Vice President Trump. And, it was all downhill from there. The more he talked, the weaker his voice and the longer his incoherent rambles. At one point, though, he raged out of no where about bullets killing kids. By the end, between his creepy whispers into the microphone and his use of the crutch “anyway” to get out of a long answer that went no where, Karine Jean-Pierre was trying to end it. But, Joe took two more questions. The first had to do with what would he do if the polls suggested Kamala Harris would do better against Donald Trump, to which he whispered, “No one's saying that.” Then, a reporter said that Trump was already mocking him for his opening VP gaffe and asked what should be done about it? Biden simply said, “Listen to him.” So, today, in the aftermath, Biden senior spokesperson and advisor Adrienne Elrod said the media was obsession over replacing Biden. The NYTimes said it was playing into the far-right conspiracy theory that Democrats were wanting to replace Biden. Yet, at the same time, Axios stated that Democrats were secretly trying to find a way to remove Biden. Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) once again reminded us the reason they are in a panic is they want to save their own skins and their party, not Joe Biden. It's all about keeping power for the party. Dail Mail reminds us there is a massive grudge held by the First Lady towards Kamala Harris. Apparently, this goes back to the 2019 primary debates and Jill has never let it go. A Biden Super PAC said they were going to freeze their $90 million dollar commit unless Joe drops out of the race. According to other sources, the next 48 hours are going to be very bad for Joe Biden. Finally, we end the show with a long-missed segment, Deep Thoughts with VP Kamala Harris. She's been kept away from the public microphones for a long time. It's nice to end a Friday with her glorious insights.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/25/2024): 3:05pm- During yesterday's show, Director of Strategic Communications at the Republican National Committee Tommy Pigott highlighted the difference between Donald Trump's weekend appearance in Philadelphia and Joe Biden's recent trip to the city—Trump left a $500 tip at Tony & Nick's Steaks, while Joe Biden got confused in a Wawa. Pigott explained: “If the Biden campaign actually wanted to put these concerns about Joe Biden to bed, they would put him out there more in unscripted environments—but they don't…Joe Biden cannot do anything without being perpetually confused.” Will Biden be able to hold it together for 90-minutes during Thursday's debate? 3:20pm- Media Attacks Judge Aileen Cannon: In his latest opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, William McGurn writes of the “vilification of Judge Cannon” by The New York Times's news division: “It's similar to the statement by 51 former intelligence operatives two weeks before the 2020 election that Hunter Biden's laptop “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Their statement was sprinkled with caveats that didn't matter because its only job was to give Joe Biden something to get him through the last crucial days of the election.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/taking-down-judge-aileen-cannon-1c4bf9ab?mod=opinion_lead_pos9 3:35pm- During MSNBC's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough attacked the credibility of Judge Aileen Cannon—the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida judge who is overseeing Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents case. Similarly, while appearing on CNN, former White House Ethics Czar Norm Eisen questioned Judge Cannon's motives—suggesting she is simply doing the bidding of Donald Trump. Rich explains that the media is making a coordinated effort to delegitimize Judge Cannon. 3:45pm- Will Donald Trump be able to attend the Republican National Convention? On July 11th, Trump has his sentencing hearing for his conviction in the “hush money” trial involving payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Rich notes that Trump could—unjustly—be sentenced to house arrest or even prison time. The RNC convention begins on July 15th and ends on July 18th. 4:05pm- While appearing on CNN, National Press Secretary for the 2024 Trump Campaign Karoline Leavitt had her interview cut short by anchor Kasie Hunt. Hunt accused Leavitt of attacking her CNN colleagues Jake Tapper and Dana Bash by suggesting the two moderators of Thursday's debate have regularly expressed disdain for Donald Trump and support for Joe Biden. A montage pieced together by Newsbusters proves Leavitt's point—Tapper and Bash are not objective. One clip even shows Tapper referring to Trump's presidency as a “national nightmare.” 4:10pm- Nicholas Fondacaro of Newsbusters reports: “CNN could be facing a defamation liability rivaling or exceeding the $787 million Fox News paid out to Dominion Voting Systems. NewsBusters recently reported on Florida's First District Court of Appeals affirming that plaintiff Zachary Young could seek punitive damages, in addition to economic and emotional damages, from the Cable News Network in a civil trial after they allegedly defamed him regarding his work in getting people out of Afghanistan.” He continues: “The case hinges on CNN's use of the phrases ‘black market' and ‘exploited' to describe Young's legitimate business helping corporately sponsored Afghans escape the country as it collapsed around them and the Taliban retook control.” Fondacaro writes that Young ultimately saved 24 people.

Yes, it's a real thing—and it's coming to New York as part of an effort to support body positivity. 4:40pm- MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell hilariously asked Biden Campaign spokesperson Adrienne Elrod whether it is a problem that all of President Joe Biden's debate advisers are “white men in their 60s.” 4:45pm- Could Black voters in Milwaukee determine the 2024 presidential election? Brakkton Booker of Politico writes: “Polls suggest the president is trailing his 2020 performance in [Milwaukee] and surrounding county. In Wisconsin's April Democratic primary, his performance within the city limits lagged well behind the rest of the state. There's one big reason why: Black voters in Milwaukee. An influential bloc that can determine if the state remains blue or flips this fall, these voters have serious and lingering doubts about Biden and whether he's delivered on his promises to them. There's no danger that Donald Trump will carry this historically Democratic city in November. But there is a considerable risk that an anemic showing in Milwaukee could cost Biden this critical swing state—and possibly the election.” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/06/21/biden-black-voters-enthusiasm-gap-milwaukee-00163496 4:50pm- Zeoli Show History: For the first time ever, Rich compliments Matt's return music selection. 5:05pm- Could Black voters in Milwaukee determine the 2024 presidential election?

For example, Democrat political strategist James Comer recently claimed that if Donald Trump wins, he will establish a “theocracy.” Meanwhile, Associate Editor of The Washington Post Ruth Marcus is predicting that the Supreme Court may “chip away at the right to same-sex marriage.” 5:25pm- Hillary Clinton is BACK! with a new book due to be released just weeks before the presidential election: "Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty.” 5:40pm- BREAKING NEWS: A House Judiciary Committee investigation has found evidence suggesting “CIA contractors colluded with the Biden Campaign to discredit [the] Hunter Biden laptop story” ahead of the 2020 presidential election. You can read more details here: https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/new-information-shows-cia-contractors-colluded-biden-campaign-discredit-hunter 6:05pm- Rich has to leave early to host 1210 WPHT's Politics and Pints with New York Times best-selling author Jack Carr from Zlock Performing Arts Center Bucks County Community College in Newtown, Pennsylvania. America's Radio Guest Host Mike Opelka closes out the show! 6:15pm- Hillary Clinton is BACK! with a new book due to be released just weeks before the presidential election: "Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty.” 6:30pm- Earlier this month, Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the House Judiciary Committee. During one notable exchange, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) asked who—or what— gave Garland the authority to appoint special counsel Jack Smith? Judge Aileen Cannon—the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida judge handling Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents case—is considering whether Smith's appointment is legally invalid. 6:50pm- Over the weekend, Congressman Jamaal Bowman—perhaps best known for pulling a fire alarm in a Congressional office building—held a profanity laced rally in the Bronx. During the event, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio made sure she embarrassed herself as well by screaming and dancing on stage like a lunatic. Rep. Bowman may very well lose his primary battle to George Latimer later tonight.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- While appearing on CNN, National Press Secretary for the 2024 Trump Campaign Karoline Leavitt had her interview cut short by anchor Kasie Hunt.
