This week on the Stay Tuned with Preet podcast, former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and former Homeland Security Advisor Ken Wainstein join Preet to reflect on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The pair also previously co-hosted the CAFE podcast, United Security. On today's episode, they discuss the lessons learned from the government's response to 9/11 and how President George W. Bush's comments condemning Islamophobia demonstrated the importance of moral leadership in the aftermath of a national tragedy. They also delve into the prosecution of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the architects of the attacks, and why maintaining strong international relationships is critical to combating terrorism. Finally, they examine why there is still no federal domestic terrorism statute. At the end of the episode, Preet shares his own reflections on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. In the bonus for Insiders, they discuss how 9/11 sparked the creation of government entities such as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Plus, how must the government adapt to confront today's evolving threats?

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, two women who lost their fathers at the World Trade Center are opening up about grief, memory, and justice that still hasn't arrived. Jessica Trant was 19 when her father Dan Trant, a Cantor Fitzgerald bond trader and former NBA draft pick, called from the 104th floor of the North Tower to say goodbye. Elizabeth Miller was six when her father Doug Miller, an FDNY Rescue 5 firefighter, ran into the towers and never came home. In this episode, Jessica and Elizabeth, the subjects of the new CBS documentary Daughters of 9/11 — join me to talk about growing up around an empty chair, how differently they each grieve, their trips to Guantánamo Bay, and their sharply different views on what should happen to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the confessed architect of 9/11 whose trial still hasn't begun, 25 years later.

In this September 2nd webinar, Tom opens his first livestream after summer break with updates from his summer, including time spent gardening, food processing, and preparing hundreds of jars, bottles, and freezer bags of homegrown vegetables, berries, pumpkins, and watermelon juice.Tom then previews the direction of upcoming webinars, explaining that he plans to address some of the feedback he has received around his claims about hormones, vitamins, omega-3s, and similar subjects. He clarifies that he is not simply saying “vitamins don't exist,” but rather questioning whether these chemicals have been rigorously proven to exist in living beings or natural foods in the way they are commonly described.He also announces that next week, Jordan Grant will join him to look specifically at vitamin D and the question of whether it has been found in living substances or natural substances like butter or cod liver oil.This week's news segment includes: -A BBC article about a trial being set for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described as the alleged 9/11 mastermind. Tom comments on the story in his “if you believe that, you'll believe just about anything” category.Highlights from this session include: -Tom examines the recent claims around ivermectin and fenbendazole/mebendazole as “groundbreaking” cancer treatments. -He reviews promotional material from The Wellness Company claiming that 84.4% of cancer patients in a 6-month follow-up group reported clinical benefit. -He points out the shifting language from “study” to “observational report” and emphasizes the importance of understanding what kind of research was actually done. -He notes that the outcomes were self-reported, including both the cancer status and the claimed improvements. -He highlights that the study began with 197 participants, but only 122 completed follow-up, leaving 75 people with no outcome information. -He explains that participants used varying doses, with some taking one capsule, others two, three, four, or variable doses, which he says makes it unlike a proper drug study. -He points out that many participants were also using other interventions, including supplements, diet changes, chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, making it impossible to attribute outcomes solely to ivermectin and mebendazole. -He reviews criticism from TechARP and then compares those criticisms with the original paper, concluding that the critique was largely accurate on the study's limitations. -He argues that this was not a proper scientific cancer drug trial, but a self-reported observational cohort with no independent variable, no true control group, no verified diagnostic method provided, and too many uncontrolled factors. -He frames ivermectin and similar repurposed pharmaceutical drugs as part of the broader “health freedom” narrative that still accepts many of the same disease-model assumptions he questions.Tom closes by emphasizing that the goal of New Biology is to move away from fear-based, pharmaceutical-centered frameworks and toward a deeper understanding of life, health, illness, and what the body is actually doing.

Twenty-five years after September 11th, Guantánamo Bay is still open. Fifteen men are still held there. Six have never been charged with anything at all. And on August 26, 2026, a military judge finally set a trial date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three co-defendants: June 5, 2028, nearly 27 years after the attacks. In the first episode of Immigrantly's three-part 9/11 at 25 series, Saadia Khan sits down with Shayana Kadidal, Senior Managing Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, who has litigated Guantánamo cases since 2002. He filed the first habeas petition on behalf of detainees when no one in Washington would carry the papers to the courthouse. He was one of the first lawyers allowed onto the base. This conversation covers what actually built Guantánamo and what has kept it standing through four presidencies: • Why the first people held at Guantánamo were not Muslims, but Black Haitian refugees intercepted at sea in 1991• How the U.S. filled the prison using leaflets and $5,000 bounties, not battlefield capture• The domestic sweeps of South Asian and Arab Muslim men, held in secret immigration hearings with their names erased from the public docket• Mohammed al-Qahtani, a schizophrenic man held roughly two decades, much of it in solitary confinement, and Abu Zubaydah, the first man waterboarded, still never charged• Guled Duran, cleared for release by six agencies, whose habeas petition has sat with a judge for a decade• Why the torture evidence argument is not the reason these cases never went to trial• And what it means that the Trump administration flew roughly 500 immigrants to Guantánamo between February and June 2025, at a reported cost of about $100,000 per person per day The machinery built in 2001 was never dismantled. Machinery that isn't dismantled gets used again on somebody else. Saadia's take: she is not here to acknowledge the anniversary. She is here to audit it. Learn more about the Center for Constitutional Rights at ccrjustice.org, or follow @ccrjustice. Next Tuesday: a woman whose father, a firefighter, went into the towers and did not come out. She was six. She has spent the years since objecting to what this country did to Muslims in her family's name.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 28, 2026. We open with Florida's move to ban welfare cash assistance from covering tattoos, video games, theme park tickets, vaping products, and even psychic services, and we dig into why Governor DeSantis's crackdown on TANF spending should spread nationwide. We run through our Top 3, covering a Boston judge blocking Trump's mail-in ballot security measures again, the clearing of Iranian mines from the Strait of Hormuz, and a military judge tossing out Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's 9/11 confession over coercion claims. We also can't resist poking fun at CNN's embarrassing mix-up using a Dolly Parton impersonator's photo to announce the real Dolly Parton's death. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to talk about Brian Guan, the atheist whose 30-day experiment cosplaying as a Christian led him to tears and a genuine conversion by day 20, and we draw the parallel to C.S. Lewis and Lee Strobel's own journeys from skepticism to faith. Digging Deep, we tackle Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass halting citations for unlicensed street vendors, the sinking marshlands of South Louisiana, and how SpaceX's new $100 billion spaceport might do more to protect the coastline than decades of lawsuits, plus a detour into why capitalism protects what people can profit from. We talk through President Trump's self-ranking as the greatest president in history and whether confidence like that is healthy or just bluster, before diving into Fake News Friday with our usual mix of real, fake, and really fake headlines. We close out with an update on birthright citizenship litigation and a story about Millie, the 31-year-old cat who may hold a world record.

It's Free Speech Friday, and Joe Pags isn't holding back after internal CBC guidance reportedly tells journalists not to describe 9/11 as a "terrorist attack." Pags' response is simple: It WAS a terrorist attack—and he asks what has happened to Canada. Then the long-running 9/11 case takes another stunning turn as a judge rejects Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's confession, prompting Pags to unload on Miranda rights, terrorism and a justice process still dragging on nearly 25 years later. AOC enters the conversation before the phones absolutely light up, with Pags taking on callers from every direction. Plus, Mike Waltz weighs in on the escalating U.S.-Canada trade war, President Trump responds to the questions surrounding America's beef supply, and listeners get the final word in a packed Free Speech Friday.

A chunk of Himalayan ice snapped off at about 17,000 feet and turned into what Nepal's disaster chief called a “tsunami from the sky.” Watch what happened. Around 8:40 a.m. Wednesday, the collapse smashed into a valley, dammed the Lhende River, then let go. A 33-foot wall of water, mud, and debris tore down the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli. Villages were wiped out. About 25 miles of road and 19 bridges are gone. At least 273 people are dead. More than 1,300 are missing. U.S. Geological Survey first reported a 4.4 earthquake north of Kathmandu, then said the seismic reading was the glacier and the debris flow — no quake. This is not a distant postcard. Nepalese officials say 63 American citizens are among the missing, including a California couple on a Mount Kailash pilgrimage. More than 5,000 army and police are in the search.

A man who allegedly claimed to be the mastermind behind the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, will finally get his day in court. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has been in government custody since 2003 -- and held at Guantanamo Bay since 2006 -- but he's never had a trial. He's been waiting for more than 20 years now, and he'll have to wait two more years. Greg tries to understand why the judge over the case said a hearing in 2027 was too soon.
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastJoin the boys as they trace Al-Qaeda's origins from the Soviet-Afghan War to the eve of September 11th, 2001. Hosts unpack how Osama bin Laden and Palestinian scholar Abdullah Azzam built Maktab al-Khidamat, the recruitment network that seeded al-Qaeda's formal founding in a Peshawar house in August 1988 — with just fifteen men on its original roster.The episode connects the dots most true crime and history podcasts miss: how the 1993 WTC bomber Ramzi Yousef's uncle, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, quietly financed that attack before becoming the architect of 9/11 himself. Listeners get the full arc — bin Laden's betrayal by the Saudi monarchy during the Gulf War, his exile in Sudan, the alliance with the Taliban, the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, and the USS Cole attack — plus a deep dive into the unsettling human details rarely covered elsewhere: the hijackers' bizarre flight school behavior (including an abandoned Cessna left on a Miami taxiway), documented drinking and strip club visits that contradict their professed extremism, and two eerie traffic stops — including one just two days before the attacks — that could have changed everything.The episode closes on the edge of history: September 10th, 2001, with nineteen men in place and no one yet knowing what the next morning would bring.This is essential setup for the show's upcoming four-part 9/11 25th anniversary series, launching later this month.
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastMost people, when they hear "World Trade Center," think of one date. But eight years before September 11th, the Twin Towers were already a target — and the man behind it wanted to bring down both buildings at once.On February 26, 1993, Ramzi Yousef detonated a truck bomb in the parking garage beneath the North Tower, hoping to topple it sideways into the South Tower and kill a quarter of a million people at lunchtime. He failed — but not by much. Six people died, over a thousand were injured, and roughly 50,000 people evacuated through smoke-filled stairwells in what was, at the time, the largest evacuation in American history.In this episode, Eric, Sean, and Jorge dig into the story almost nobody remembers: the co-conspirator who got caught because he wanted his $400 deposit back, the FBI informant whose secretly recorded tapes suggest the bombing could have been stopped, the now-debunked Iraq conspiracy theory that helped shape a war, and the bomb-maker who vanished into Baghdad and has never been found. They also trace the single $660 wire transfer that connects this attack to Yousef's uncle — a man named Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who would return eight years later to finish what his nephew started.This is Episode 163, and the official start of the show's lead-in to the 25th anniversary of 9/11.Patreon members get early access to every episode in this series, plus exclusive bonus content not available anywhere else.
Along with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Chin Laden organized the September 11 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people. This resulted in the U.S. invading Afghanistan and launching the war on terror. Chin Laden became the subject of a nearly decade-long international manhunt led by the U.S. During this period, he hid in the mountains of Afghanistan and later escaped to neighboring Pakistan.
The Need to Know Morning Show discusses a wide array of topics, from local weather (noting the absence of snow and the coming rain) and sports (Bison QB Cole Payton is Offensive Player of the Week ) to the latest political developments. The hosts cover the absurdity of the upcoming "No King's Rally" planned to protest President Trump, reading the protest's press release and countering the claims of "authoritarian actions". A major segment is dedicated to an explosive investigative report by Peter Schweitzer regarding New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, whose family has deep financial ties to Qatar's royal family—the same family that harbored 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Schweitzer calls the election a "dark echo of the 9-11 terrorist attack". In the final hour, Senator John Kennedy discusses his new book, How to Test Negative for Stupid, and breaks down the ongoing "Schumer Shutdown," calling it a reflection of the "absurd demands of the socialist wing of the democratic party". He is prepared to stay shut down rather than agree to undo a bill and spend $1.5 trillion. The show also celebrates Charlie Kirk's birthday as his family is set to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Standout Moments: Peter Schweitzer reveals New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's family is financially tied to the Qatari royal family that harbored 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, calling the election a "dark echo of the 9-11 terrorist attack." (00:11:00) Peter Schweitzer notes that the International Quran News Agency (Iran) and a news publication linked to Hezbollah (Lebanon) are cheering on Mamdani's campaign. (00:13:28) Host reads the press release for the No King's Rally to protest President Trump and questions what specific "authoritarian actions and overreach of power" the president has committed. (00:04:39) Dean Wysocki reports that temperatures will stay chilly, only reaching 50 today, with scattered showers in the afternoon, but a large storm system is not in sight yet. (00:06:18) Bridgette Readel discusses weed zappers, a new piece of equipment that uses high-power electricity to kill weeds and terminate cover crops as an alternative to late-season pesticides. (00:20:06) Jesse Watters quotes President Trump, who calls his peace deal with Israel and Hamas the "historic dawn of a new Middle East" and a new "golden age." (00:27:00) Senator John Kennedy describes the Senate during the shutdown: "It's like the game room in a mental hospital." (00:37:46) Senator John Kennedy states he would…
Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3VhbwZZ Unveiling the Economic Impact and Symbolism of 9/11 In this episode of Dividend Cafe, airing on September 12, David L. Bahnsen delves into a unique discussion on the economic intentions behind the 9/11 attacks, emphasizing the attackers' desire to undermine American financial markets by targeting the World Trade Center. The episode explores the symbolic and literal significance of the attacks, draws on historical quotes from Osama Bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and highlights America's resilience and the importance of defending robust capital markets. Key points include the historical context of the World Trade Center, the immediate financial aftermath of the attacks, and the enduring strength of America's economic system. David also ties this discussion into the broader narrative of American exceptionalism and the philosophical importance of free enterprise. 00:00 Introduction and Theme Announcement 00:44 Reflecting on 9/11's Economic Impact 04:33 Historical Context of the World Trade Center 05:58 Financial Institutions in the World Trade Center 08:37 The Jihadist Economic Agenda 14:35 Resilience of American Financial Markets 17:33 American Exceptionalism and Capital Markets 21:50 Conclusion and Gratitude Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready team room, where Peaches kicks down the door with another unapologetic ops brief. We're starting off hot with Fort Bliss turning into a glorified detention center because, shocker, we're drowning in illegal immigration. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard just wrecked someone's narco empire by snatching up $88 million in drugs—casually dropped in San Diego like it's trash day.But the real jaw-dropper? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 9/11's mastermind, pled guilty… to avoid the death penalty. Let that sink in. Mr. "I'll send people to blow themselves up for paradise" is too scared to face his own end. Punk move of the century. Peaches doesn't hold back, comparing him—and other cowardly leaders—to the same political class here at home. It's savage, and it's spot on.On the Air Force side, we've got nuclear microreactors going online in Alaska (because why not test clean energy near Russia), the PT test still killing people who dry-scoop pre-workout, and a whole lot of effort to look like we're “resilient” with energy security buzzwords. Also, surprise—transitioning service members just got denied early retirement pay. That's gonna stir the pot.Then there's Space Force. Yep, they're doing “Guardian Arena,” a Roman-gladiator-meets-tech-bro competition to prove they can actually sweat. Physical strength, mental agility, teamwork, and probably a whole lot of cosplay armor. Peaches is skeptical—but weirdly intrigued.It's all unfiltered, rapid-fire, and zero apologies. Let's go.
Plea deals with the 9/11 defendants, including for the alleged ringleader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, have been canceled. Families of those who died on September 11th are still calling for justice. What happens next in the most delayed criminal trial in US history? NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer speaks with Georgetown University Law professor Stephen Vladeck.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, language is critical in shaping societal discourse, it's divided into positive and negative categories. Positive language uplifts, promoting free societies, free speech, and healthy dialogue, rooted in Judeo-Christian values and individual liberty. Negative language, prevalent in media like the Sunday news shows, involves sloganeering, name-calling, and propaganda to suppress dissent and control thought, often tied to coercive power in Marxist, Islamist, or totalitarian regimes. The media and the Democratic Party today push organized propaganda, aiming to control culture and society. Democrats and the media have been lying about President Biden's mental and physical capabilities to maintain power, using totalitarian propaganda techniques like manipulation, deception, and repetition. Democrats praised Biden's sharpness and focus, which contradicts observable reality, as part of a strategy to bully the public into accepting their narrative. Also, the Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, allowed the Trump administration to remove protected status for 350,000 to 530,000 Venezuelans, enabling their deportation. The Court found the Biden administration misused protected status laws by granting it broadly without proper case-by-case evaluations, which are meant for those with legitimate fears of returning home. Justice Brown-Jackson dissented, while a separate 7-2 ruling limited another immigration statute, showing mixed Court outcomes. Later, there was a vast conspiracy by the Biden administration, mainstream media, academia, and the Marxist-leaning Democratic Party to maintain power by controlling language, thought, press, and information, akin to tactics used in totalitarian regimes. This was a deliberate assault on individual rights and civil society, involving a cover-up of President Biden's physical and mental health issues, including a possible cancer diagnosis during his presidency. Democrats were complicit in concealing Biden's condition while simultaneously attempting to destroy Donald Trump through legal battles and indictments to ensure Biden's path to power. Afterward, Qatar cannot be considered an ally due to its role as a hub for terrorism. It funded the 9/11 attacks alongside Saudi Arabia, supported Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and financed Hamas, thus contributing to the October 7 attack. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State and CIA Director, Fox News contributor, and author of NEVER GIVE AN INCH: Fighting for the America I Love, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the fallout from yesterday's devastating terrorist attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Pompeo weighed in on the respective motivations for the attacks, which claimed at least 16 lives combined. Pompeo also outlined what the US can do to continue to secure it's borders and prevent devastating attacks like this from occurring. Pompeo and Benson also criticized the Biden DOJ's plea deal for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, calling it a disservice to justice amid fresh violence on U.S. soil. Benson also asked Pomeo about his views on the national security threat posed by TikTok and if the platform should be banned. Finally, Pompeo discussed whether he had given Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio any advice before accepting the role and emphasized the importance of expanding the Abraham Accords for greater stability in the Middle East.

There's a new ‘sheriff' in town… and terrorists better watch out! In today's podcast, your Terrorist Therapist®, Carole Lieberman, M.D., explores some terror-related plans that will likely be upended. The Obama-Biden-Kamala White House has long tried to take the death penalty off the table for the 9/11 jihadis-including the mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his two henchmen, currently imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay. The controversial plea deal has been argued back and forth, with most victims' familiesand some in the Defense Department, opposed to sparing their lives. If this hearing is delayed until Trump takes office, known tobe tough on terror, he may well stop the plea deal in its tracks. Iran has grown silent on its threats of retaliation towards Israel, since Trump won the election because they know he doesn't want to be their BFF and won't throw money at them, unlike the current administration. They haven't given up on "Death to Israel!Death to America!” but, their focus is on continuing to search for an assassin to do Trump in. This Terrorist Therapist Show episode will also explore: Hamas attorneys' demands for Israel to pay for their defense of Oct 7 terrorists now in Israeli jails; the increasingly open support for Hamas and Hezbollah on the streets of America; how Doctors Without Borders are also without scruples; and how Radical Islamist beliefs about sexuality are a threat to women and girls worldwide.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Friday, the Democratic National Committee announced that Kamala Harris has won enough votes from party delegates to officially become the Democrat Party Presidential Nominee. Voting began on Thursday, though the DNC will hold its convention from August 19th to 22nd in Chicago, Illinois. 4:15pm- On Friday, Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe held a press conference to address the agency's failures on July 13th in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at a campaign rally. Rowe stated: “The Secret Service takes full responsibility for the tragic events of July 13th.” He continued: “In no way should any state or local agency supporting us in Butler on July 13th be held responsible for a Secret Service failure.” While taking questions from reporters, Rowe awkwardly dodged whistleblower allegations that claimed he was responsible for directing cuts to threat assessment procedures used prior to staged events. 4:30pm- Brett Eagleson—President of 9/11 Justice—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss news that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a key organizer of the September 11th terror attacks, has reached a plea agreement with the United States government and will not be sentenced to death. Eagleson also shines light on allegations that the terrorists responsible for the attacks, which left 2,976 people dead, may have received assistance from the Saudi government. You can learn more about the 9/11 Justice group here: https://www.911justice.org 4:40pm- JD Vance Mocks Josh Shapiro: Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance hilariously referred to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as someone doing a bad impersonation of former President Barack Obama.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/02/2024): 3:05pm- On Friday, Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe held a press conference to address the agency's failures on July 13th in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at a campaign rally. Rowe stated: “The Secret Service takes full responsibility for the tragic events of July 13th.” He continued: “In no way should any state or local agency supporting us in Butler on July 13th be held responsible for a Secret Service failure.” 3:15pm- Secret Service Whistleblower's Damning Allegations: Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics writes: “Just days after Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe denied playing a direct role in rejecting repeated requests for added security measures and assets for former President Trump, whistleblowers have come forward refuting those claims and blaming Rowe for some of the agency's security failures that led to the July 13 assassination attempt that nearly killed Trump and left rallygoer Corey Comperatore dead and two others wounded. Other whistleblowers are coming forward citing more systemic problems with the Secret Service, the vaunted agency whose primary job is to protect presidents, vice presidents and former presidents and their families. Those deep-seated long-term problems include nepotism and other non-merit-based favoritism, lowering standards and cutting corners in hiring – including failure to pass polygraph tests and accepting past hard drug use, retaliation for voicing security and other concerns, as well as uneven disciplinary action.” You can read Crabtree's full report here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/08/02/secret_service_whistleblowers_acting_chief_cut_security_assets__151382.html 3:40pm- Eli Lake—Reporter for The Free Press, Contributing Editor for Commentary Magazine, & Host of the Re-Education Podcast—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “President Biden: Stand Up for the Venezuelan People.” You can read the article here: https://www.thefp.com/p/biden-stand-up-for-the-venezuelan-people 4:05pm- On Friday, the Democratic National Committee announced that Kamala Harris has won enough votes from party delegates to officially become the Democrat Party Presidential Nominee.

Has the Olympics gone woke? Italian female boxer Angela Carini was forced to surrender after one punch from Algerian Imane Khelif during their Olympics bout earlier this week. Khelif had previously been disqualified from participating in women's boxing competitions after testing revealed Khelif possessed XY chromosomes. Why was Khelif permitted to compete? You can order Dr. Reilly's newest book here: https://a.co/d/7aYtYwN 5:40pm- Aggregate polling collected by The Washington Post shows Donald Trump still leads in key swing states Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia—and he is tied with Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. However, if polls are underestimating Trump's support (like they did in 2020 & 2016), WaPo's data estimates Trump is up in every swing state—and by a pretty substantial margin. PLUS, JD Vance crushes diet Mountain Dew during a Newsmax interview, Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to Trump, and did the Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker just leak Kamala Harris' VP pick? 6:05pm- Women Don't Want Shapiro: Mary Ann Akers—Deputy Washington Bureau Chief for The Daily Beast—reports: “Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is the betting favorite to be No. 2 on the Democratic ticket, but his involvement in a sexual harassment coverup may tank his chances. The issue has come to a head, with a little known women's rights organization urging Vice President Kamala Harris to think twice. In a headline blaring: ‘Gov.

What is she talking about? 6:40pm- The group “Childless Cat Ladies for Kamala” goes viral on social media for all the wrong reasons when they sing about their love for Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
KSM and two other Sept. 11 plotters will plead guilty to murdering 2,976 people, and in exchange prosecutors will spare them the death penalty.

Sen. Roger Marshall says he will launch an investigation into Google after the search engine suppressed content related to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Google is “no longer functioning as a search engine that just assimilates” information, says Marshall, R-Kan., “but now they're using algorithms to campaign against President Trump.” Initiating a Google search of “assassination attempt on president,” quickly reveals that Trump's name is not within the autofill of suggested searches, although former Presidents Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan are. Google enjoys legal protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Those protections shield Google and other platforms, such as Facebook and X, from civil liability for the content users of the platform generate. But if Google wants to act as a publisher, like a news outlet, they should not enjoy Section 230 protections, Marshall says. The Kansas Republican is calling on Google to explain what he regards as content suppression, but says he thinks that “if we had a strong commander in chief, that they would be intervening already.” Marshall joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the investigation into what he asserts is Google's content suppression. Marshall also weighs in on the plea deal reached with three terrorists behind the 9/11 attacks, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described as the mastermind of the attacks. The deal takes the death penalty off the table for the terrorists imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for them pleading guilty to a number of charges, including the murders of nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001. The Kansas lawmaker explains why he thinks the deal is a “slap in the face” to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, and all who still suffer from physical injuries because of the terrorist attacks. Enjoy the show!
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- What's So Great About Josh Shapiro?: Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine writes: “Kamala Harris has the luxury of several promising options for her vice-presidential nominee, but the discussion has focused inordinately on Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. The reason for this, I think, is that Shapiro has some weaknesses that make him distasteful to some potential Harris voters… Democrats have two main sources of concern with Shapiro, one small and one large. The small concern is that he endorsed a school-voucher plan… The more serious criticism centers on his comments on anti-Israel protests since October 7, which he has denounced.” You can read the full article here: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/josh-shapiro-vice-president-moderate-popular-governor-pennsylvania-palestine-kamala-harris.html 6:15pm- Women Don't Want Shapiro: Mary Ann Akers—Deputy Washington Bureau Chief for The Daily Beast—reports: “Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is the betting favorite to be No. 2 on the Democratic ticket, but his involvement in a sexual harassment coverup may tank his chances. The issue has come to a head, with a little known women's rights organization urging Vice President Kamala Harris to think twice. In a headline blaring: ‘Gov.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/01/2024): 3:05pm- WSJ Reporter Freed as Part of Russian Prisoner Swap: Drew Hinshaw, Joe Parkinson, and Aruna Viswantha of The Wall Street Journal report: “Russia freed wrongly convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich as part of the largest and most complex East-West prisoner swap since the Cold War, in which he and more than a dozen others jailed by the Kremlin were exchanged for Russians held in the U.S. and Europe, including a convicted murderer. Gershkovich and other Americans left Russian aircraft at roughly 11:20 a.m. ET at an airport in Turkey's capital, Ankara. Gershkovich was then transported to an aircraft lounge on a Turkish bus. Russia had kept the 32-year-old behind bars for more than a year on a false allegation of espionage. It sentenced him in a hurried and secret three-day trial to 16 years in a high-security penal colony.” Rich notes that it's wonderful that Gershkovich has been released but wonders why Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel remains wrongfully imprisoned by Russia? You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/evan-gershkovich-free-cde745b3 3:20pm- While speaking to the White House press, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan was asked about the “imbalance” in the Biden-Harris Administration's prisoner swap agreement with Russia—with Russia receiving hardened criminals while the U.S. received wrongfully convicted citizens and journalists. 3:30pm- Paul Thacker— Investigative Journalist & former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for his Substack, The Disinformation Chronicle. You can find Thacker's article, “NIH Email Reveals Plan to Fool Congress With Response ‘That Doesn't Actually Answer the Questions,'” here: https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/nih-email-reveals-plan-to-fool-congress 3:50pm- Olympic Female Boxing: Italian female boxer Angela Carini was forced to surrender after one punch from Algerian Imane Khelif during their Olympics bout. Khelif had previously been disqualified from participating in women's boxing competitions after testing revealed Khelif possessed XY chromosomes. While appearing on Fox News, boxer Claressa Shields—a two-time Olympic gold medalist—said that while she respects everyone, she doesn't believe it's fair or safe for men to fight women in the boxing ring. 4:05pm- Harrison Fields—Former White House and Congressional Spokesperson & a Surrogate for the 2024 Trump Campaign—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Donald Trump's campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was Trump's first trip to the Keystone State since he was nearly assassinated in Butler, PA. Last night, Trump invited Tiffany Hall—a single mother of four who lives in PA—on stage to discuss how her life, and the lives of her children, have been made more difficult by Bidenomics and the resulting inflation. 4:30pm- Congress Tries to Protect Children Online: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “The Senate on Tuesday passed the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), 91-3, and who opposes keeping children safe in the cyber wilderness? While well-intended and useful in some ways, the bill is full of land mines that the House would be wise to clean up…If parents don't want their children spending more than an hour on TikTok a day or playing video games past 8 p.m., they should have the power to stop them. But politicians always want more control, and they say it's unfair to ask parents to supervise children online. Thus the Senate bill would empower the Federal Trade Commission and 50 state Attorneys General to serve in loco parentis and police the platforms. Companies would have a legal ‘duty of care' to design their platforms to prevent harm to minors. This means the FTC could sue platforms if it says their features, including algorithms, harm minors.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-kids-online-safety-act-house-social-media-regulation-federal-trade-commission-30cfe079?mod=opinion_lead_pos1 4:40pm- Hong Kong Wins Gold in Fencing, Taunts Italy with Pineapple Pizza: John Yoon of The New York Times reports: “Losing an Olympic fencing title bout to the champion from Hong Kong was difficult enough for the Italian. Then came the pizza slander. Cheung Ka Long's triumph over Filippo Macchi of Italy in the gold medal bout in men's foil on Monday has led to a sour fallout that has spilled off the fencing strip: Pizza Hut's Hong Kong and Macao branch has offered free pineapple toppings on its pies as fans on social media praised the combination widely shunned by the losing side.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/30/world/olympics/hong-kong-italy-fencing-pineapple-pizza.html 5:05pm- On Wednesday night, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Harrisburg, PA—his first trip to Pennsylvania since he was nearly assassinated at an event in Butler, PA on July 13th. During the rally, Trump emphasized presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris' far-left policy preferences, including: a ban on fracking, abolishing ICE, and ending private health insurance. Trump also spent time discussing Harris' failed attempt to secure the U.S. Southern border. Trump promised the crowd “We're not going to let her do to Pennsylvania what she did to California. She destroyed San Francisco."—even calling out Soros-funded District Attorneys and explicitly mentioning Philadelphia. 5:25pm- Flashback: In 2016, KCAL 9—a CBS News affiliate in Los Angeles, CA—reported that Kamala Harris was accused of treating her Senate “campaign funds like a personal checking account to fund a life of luxury.” When questioned about the accusations, Harris seemingly conceded that money was misappropriated but blamed it on her campaign manager. 5:35pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Biden Administration's prisoner swap agreement with Russia. While it's wonderful that Gershkovich has been released, why does Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel remain wrongfully imprisoned in Russia? Dr. Coates fears that because Russia got the better end of this trade deal, it could encourage Vladimir Putin to imprison more Americans. Plus, why isn't the American media paying closer attention to authoritarian Nicolas Maduro's seizure of power in Venezuela? Coates suspects the media is protecting the Biden-Harris Administration for having eased sanctions on Venezuela in exchange for Maduro's empty promise of free and fair elections—which clearly didn't happen. Her upcoming book is: “Winning the War on Israel: Inside the Battle for the Jewish State and America.” 6:05pm- What's So Great About Josh Shapiro?: Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine writes: “Kamala Harris has the luxury of several promising options for her vice-presidential nominee, but the discussion has focused inordinately on Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro.

It's four martinis for the price of three today as Jim and Greg unpack the latest details in the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, the prisoner swap with Russia that freed two Americans, the government striking a plea bargain with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and Donald Trump focusing on Kamala's race instead of her train wreck of a record.First, they enjoy learning how Haniyeh was killed by a bomb planted months earlier and detonated remotely. It seems to point more clearly to an Israeli operation and a massive, embarrassing failure for the Iranian government and especially its terrorist arm, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.Next, they're thrilled to hear Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and fellow American Paul Whelan are being released by Russia. What reports don't tell us yet is who or what the U.S. is giving Russia in return. And given the Obama-Biden track record on lopsided prisoner swaps, that's an important question.Then, they groan as the U.S. government strikes a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other 9/11 conspirators. The agreement removes the possibility of capital punishment for any of them. 9/11 survivors and family members are not happy. And while Jim and Greg understand there's a slight possibility of these terrorists revealing more than they already have, it's hard to imagine anyone more deserving of death then they are.Finally, Jim unloads on Donald Trump for wondering when Kamala Harris decided she was black because he says she spent much of her life identifying with her Indian heritage. Not only does that moment give Harris a chance to go on offense, but it shows Trump getting distracted from going after the endless political liabilities Harris brings into this campaign.
