Over the weekend, an anonymous hacker sent internal Trump campaign documents to POLITICO and the Washington Post. The campaign says the documents received by the reporters were obtained illegally by Iran. However, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. In June, Biden campaign staffers received spear phishing emails. FOX News Contributor and former CIA clandestine services officer Dan Hoffman tells the Rundown why foreign adversaries would be interested in election interference and why it threatens our national security. Control of the White House is not the only thing up for grabs in November. Republicans hope to retake the Senate as Democrats are forced to defend seats in Trump-friendly states. One of those key races is in Montana, where Democrat incumbent Senator John Tester faces tough competition against a political newcomer, Navy SEAL Veteran Tim Sheehy. Former President Trump recently visited the state, rallying with the candidate as they attempt to flip the seat to red. Senate Candidate Tim Sheehy joins the Rundown to discuss what inspired him to run for public office, where he stands on issues like the border crisis and Ukraine aid, and why he believes he's the right man to unseat Senator Tester.

Israel is warning that their effort to 'crush' Hamas will be 'lengthy' and 'lethal'. With their enemy hiding in the crowded streets and complex network of tunnels of Gaza, entering the city and eliminating the terrorists behind October 7th's brutal attack on their country will be a serious challenge. FOX News Contributor and retired CIA Clandestine Services officer Dan Hoffman recently joined host Dave Anthony to discuss those very challenges and why he believes this war will be very bloody. Hoffman described the dangers of urban warfare and fighting an enemy who is willing to use civilians as human shields. The former CIA officer was also blunt about why he was pessimistic about the fate of many of the hostage takes by Hamas. We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear our entire conversation with Dan Hoffman. On today's FOX News Rundown Extra, you'll hear even more of his expertise and why he thinks there were significant intelligence failures leading up to the deadly attacks on Israel earlier this month.

President Biden's trip to Israel on Wednesday was upended following a deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza City. In spite of canceled meetings with the Palestinian Authority leader and King of Jordan, Biden appeared in Tel Aviv and pledged American support to the nation of Israel as they fight their war on the terror group Hamas. FOX News Contributor and retired CIA Clandestine Services officer Dan Hoffman joins the Rundown to discuss why he doesn't think the United States will send troops to the Middle East and what it would take for Israel to succeed if they launch a ground invasion in Gaza to root out Hamas. Iran remains a major concern for U.S. officials following Israel's escalating conflict with the terror group Hamas in Gaza. Tehran has long been known as one of the largest state sponsors of terrorism in the world, and their leadership has warned they have plans to carry out preemptive action against Israel. Biden administration officials have announced new sanctions against both Hamas and Iran, but will this be effective in preventing the war from escalating? Former U.S. State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus joins the Rundown to explain how a UN embargo policy lapsing became a major national security threat, her belief that the White House's Iran policy is failing, why sanctions won't work a “silver bullet,” and the troubling pattern of U.S. adversaries avoiding the consequences of sanctions.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/28/2023): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten testified during a House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. During the hearing, Weingarten claimed she attempted to reopen schools during the pandemic as quickly as possible—but since there wasn't “clear scientific guidance” her union had to “do it themselves.” While appearing on CNN following her Congressional testimony, Weingarten continued to deny having ever advocated for prolonged school shutdowns—CNN Senior Political Commentator Scott Jennings called Weingarten out for attempting to rewrite history. 3:20pm- At a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Thursday, former President Donald Trump hilariously announced he would be retiring the name “crooked” for Hillary Clinton and would be bestowing it upon Joe Biden—referring to Biden as the most crooked politician in the country. 3:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official Dan Hoffman revealed that in October of 2020 he declined to sign a letter proclaiming that The New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story was likely Russian misinformation—explaining there was no evidence indicating the story was false or in any way connected to the Kremlin. More than 50 intelligence officers did end up signing the letter—including John Brennan, Leon Panetta, and Gen. Michael Hayden. Many of the signees had publicly endorsed Joe Biden's candidacy for President prior to the letter's creation. 3:40pm- Christopher Tremoglie—Commentary Writer for The Washington Examiner—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about his most recent article, “The Fictional World of Karine Jean-Pierre.” Tremoglie writes: “White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her cohorts in the Biden administration have routinely stated their dedication to stopping the spread of disinformation. Yet any legitimate, objective analysis of what Jean-Pierre says on a routine basis will show that she willfully engages in the very thing she claims to detest—spreading lies.” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/the-fictional-world-of-karine-jean-pierre 4:05pm- In an interview with James Taranto and David B. Rivkin Jr. of The Wall Street Journal, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito addressed the leaked draft of his opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization—which upended Roe v. Wade. Alito told the WSJ: “I personally have a pretty good idea who is responsible, but that's different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody…It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft…from becoming the decision of the court. And that's how it was used for those six weeks by people on the outside—as part of the campaign to try to intimidate the court.” You can read the full interview here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/justice-samuel-alito-this-made-us-targets-of-assassination-dobbs-leak-abortion-court-74624ef9?mod=hp_opin_pos_2#cxrecs_s 4:10pm- In a report from Anna Phillips of The Washington Post, Governor Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers are prepared to make New York the first state to ban the installation of gas stoves in new construction projects. You can read the article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/04/27/new-york-natural-gas-ban/ 4:30pm- Alexis Sneller—Communications & Policy Officer for the Pennsylvania Family Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Pennsylvania House Bill 300 which would harm religious liberty, allow biological males to be placed in state women's shelters, and punish individuals who don't use “preferred pronouns.” Earlier in the week, State Representative Emily Kinkead confirmed the bill would force doctors in the state to provide children with “gender affirming” care, which includes surgery and puberty blockers. 4:45pm- During a segment featuring Jen Psaki discussing House Republicans passing a bill that would raise the debt ceiling while concurrently cutting federal spending, MSNBC chose to run a chyron that read “McCarthy Caves to MAGA Extremists in First Big Test as Speaker”—is it now extreme MAGA behavior to advocated for fiscal responsibility? 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: Dr. E.J.

While appearing on Fox News, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official Dan Hoffman revealed that in October of 2020 he declined to sign a letter proclaiming that The New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story was likely Russian misinformation—explaining there was no evidence indicating the story was false or in any way connected to the Kremlin. More than 50 intelligence officers did end up signing the letter—including John Brennan, Leon Panetta, and Gen. Michael Hayden. Many of the signees had publicly endorsed Joe Biden's candidacy for President prior to the letter's creation.

Dan Hoffman, former CIA Moscow station chief, discusses President Biden feeding into the Putin's narrative of nuclear war and allowing the longtime Russian President to fearmonger. Hoffman says the does not think it will "influence Ukraine's will to fight. And we saw that the Nazis do that, you know, to the UK, and it didn't alter their will to fight either, and I think Putin knows that.” The retired spy comments that Putin is "trying to play to his own ultra-nationalist base that is wondering why this special military operation that Putin claimed would would topple Kyiv's government in days hasn't succeeded.” Hoffman says that Putin is using an idea called "historical placement, meaning, when you look at a leader, for example, George Herbert Walker Bush fought in the Second World War and looked at Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, in terms of that war and said, we're not going to appease Saddam, just as you know, we failed when we appeased Hitler. And in the case of President Biden, Putin looked at Biden said, here's a guy who was just about 20 years old during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'm going to play on the President's fear of what President Biden has said, World War Three Armageddon, that's giving Putin kind of adding throwaway to Putin's rhetorical brinkmanship.” Hoffman says if he were giving advice to the White House, he say "please, Mr. President, message discipline, don't do that, talk about it privately, but don't act like this is something you're concerned about publicly, because you're gonna give Vladimir Putin what he wants and we just need to tell the Russians that if they would have launched a tactical nuclear weapon, we would respond forcefully, that's Article Five, using a nuclear weapon on European soil. But we don't need to, to kind of subject ourselves to the fear mongering, you know, that Putin is, is trying to impose upon us."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
