The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/24/2023): 3:05pm- Luke Broadwater, of The New York Times, writes: “Representative Tom Emmer of Minnesota, the No. 3 House Republican, on Tuesday secured his divided party's nomination to be speaker, after five rounds of secret balloting to break a deadlock that has left Congress leaderless and paralyzed for three weeks. But the narrow margin of his victory reflected that House Republicans were still deeply at odds, and a swift backlash from the right, including from former President Donald J. Trump, suggested his candidacy was in peril. Immediately following his nomination, about two dozen right-wing Republicans indicated that they did not intend to vote for Mr. Emmer on the floor, denying him the majority he would need to succeed in a vote of the full House.” Emmer won the internal Republican vote 117 to 97. You can read Broadwater's full report here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/24/us/house-speaker-vote/house-speaker-election?smid=url-share 3:15pm- In response to Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) winning the Republican nomination for House speaker, Donald Trump posted to his Truth Social account: “I have many wonderful friends wanting to be Speaker of the House, and some are truly great Warriors. RINO Tom Emmer, who I do not know well, is not one of them. He never respected the Power of a Trump Endorsement, or the breadth and scope of MAGA—MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! He fought me all the way, and actually spent more time defending Ilhan Omar, than he did me—He is totally out-of-touch with Republican Voters. I believe he has now learned his lesson, because he is saying that he is Pro-Trump all the way, but who can ever be sure? Has he only changed because that's what it takes to win? The Republican Party cannot take that chance, because that's not where the America First Voters are. Voting for a Globalist RINO like Tom Emmer would be a tragic mistake!” 3:20pm- On Tuesday, House majority whip Tom Emmer was selected as the next Republican nominee for speaker. However, a decade ago, Emmer was an advocate for implementing a national popular vote—ostensibly eliminating the electoral college. Does this past advocacy disqualify him from the speakership? You can watch Emmer advocate for a national popular vote to determine the presidency in an August 2011 interview with Triad Strategies: https://vimeo.com/28012929 3:35pm- Henry plays horrific return music that gets Rich even more fired up—evidently Rich doesn't like T.L.C. What terrible return music will be selected next? 3:45pm- Hans von Spakovsky— Senior Legal Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest piece in The Daily Signal, “Why is Google Protecting Harvard Defenders of Hamas Terrorism?” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/10/23/why-is-google-protecting-harvard-defenders-of-hamas-terrorism/ 4:05pm- On Tuesday, House majority whip Tom Emmer was selected as the next Republican nominee for speaker. However, a decade ago, Emmer was an advocate for implementing a national popular vote—ostensibly eliminating the electoral college. Does this past advocacy disqualify him from the speakership? According to reports, as many as twenty-four Republicans are unwilling to vote for Emmer on the House floor, making it unlikely he will be able to acquire the 217 votes necessary to become the next House Speaker. You can watch Emmer advocate for a national popular vote to determine the presidency in an August 2011 interview with Triad Strategies: https://vimeo.com/28012929 4:15pm- In Federalist No.10, James Madison writes: “Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency.” Madison argues against a direct democracy—concluding that a representative republic allows for factionalism without the dangerously reactive outcomes that result in governmental instability. Rich argues that Rep. Tom Emmer's past advocacy for the abolition of the electoral college moves the United States closer to the problematic direct democracy that Madison warned about. 4:35pm- BREAKING NEWS: Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN)—the latest Republican nominee to fill the vacant House speakership—has withdrawn from the process. Earlier in the day, Emmer had won the nomination 117 to 97 after five rounds of balloting. Members of the House Freedom Caucus are calling for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to, once again, become the Republican nominee for speaker. 4:55pm- On Tuesday, Jenna Ellis—a former attorney for Donald Trump—pleaded guilty to one charge of aiding and abetting false statements and writings regarding the 2020 presidential election. In a statement to the court, Ellis explained: “In the frenetic pace, attempting to raise challenges in several states including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence. If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse." 5:00pm- Michael Geer—Founding President and CEO of the Pennsylvania Family Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a disturbing new report which indicates that the Pennsylvania government has spent more than $20 million on gender reassignment surgeries, procedures, and drugs for minors through the state's health insurance program for children. Greer argues “Pennsylvania taxpayers are being forced to fund harmful drugs and surgeries on children, sending millions of dollars every year to carry out detrimental and irreversible procedures upon minors.” You can read the full report here: https://pafamily.org/2023/10/23/shocking-new-report-reveals-pa-government-spent-more-than-20-million-on-transgender-surgeries-and-services-for-minors/ 5:25pm- Rich is joined by 1210 WPHT producers Anthony and Dan who are at Citizens Bank Park ahead of tonight's Game 7 playoff matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks.

Comer notes, Joe “could not have paid that loan back.” 6:35pm- According to a report from ABC News, “Former President Donald Trump's final chief of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith's team at least three times this year, including once before a federal grand jury, which came only after Smith granted Meadows immunity to testify under oath, according to sources familiar with the matter. The sources said Meadows informed Smith's team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump's prolific rhetoric regarding the election.” You can read the report from Katherine Faulders, Mike Levine, and Alexander Mallin here: https://abcnews.go.com/US/chief-staff-mark-meadows-granted-immunity-tells-special/story?id=104231281 6:40pm- On Tuesday, Jenna Ellis—a former attorney for Donald Trump—pleaded guilty to one charge of aiding and abetting false statements and writings regarding the 2020 presidential election.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: On Friday, the House of Representatives held a vote to fill the speakership position left vacant following the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The Republican nominee for speaker, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), received 194 votes during Friday's vote—well short of the 217 votes he needed to win a majority of the House and the lowest number Jordan has received yet. In a secret ballot held after Friday's floor vote, Republican House members decided to remove Jim Jordan as their caucus's nominee for the speakership. Jordan spoke with members of the press on Capitol Hill, saying “it was an honor to be their speaker-designee.” According to Luke Broadwater of The New York Times, “Representative Tom Emmer of Minnesota, the No. 3 House Republican, has begun making calls about a bid for speaker.” You can read updates as they are announced here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/20/us/house-speaker-vote-jim-jordan/cad01d9b-8ada-54a0-bcb2-c2b6655a0649?smid=url-share On Thursday night, President Joe Biden delivered a televised address from the Oval Office—calling for a nearly $100 billion foreign aid package that would send $60 billion to Ukraine and $14 billion to Israel. In response to the president's speech, Senator J.D. Vance condemned Biden for attempting to use a terror attack in Israel to raise money for Ukraine. He continued: “Right now America doesn't need client states—we need real allies. If Europeans aren't going to step up and carry their fair share, they are not real allies. They basically are depending on our generosity.” According to Kayla Guo of The New York Times, “Representative Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, the temporary speaker, said House Republicans would return Monday night for a candidate forum, with the goal of bringing a nominee to a floor vote on Tuesday—a schedule some denounced as too delayed. But McHenry said he set that schedule because ‘we need space and time for candidates to talk to other members.' He added, ‘It's fair to say that Leader Scalise wasn't given adequate time.'” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/20/us/house-speaker-vote-jim-jordan/88a876e7-84bc-5a55-9b20-93ddad3f17a4?smid=url-share Reacting to the House Republican caucus's decision to remove Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) as their speaker nominee, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said “we will have to go back to the drawing board”—blaming Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and the seven other Republicans that joined Democrats to oust McCarthy as Speaker of the House, for the ensuing chaos. McCarthy told reporters: “we are in a very bad position as a party.” Gabriel Nadales—National Director of “Our America”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for The Hill, “Retail Theft is Robbing People of the American Dream.” Nadales writes: “Inflation is not the only force responsible for the rising prices of food, clothing, and convenience items. Runaway shoplifting is the covert culprit weighing down your already-hefty shopping bills. America's ‘shoplifting epidemic' cost retailers nearly $100 billion in 2021 alone, a price that is felt by every American. Yet Lawmakers and prosecutors are making a bad situation worse by refusing to hold criminals accountable.” You can read Nadales' full article here: https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/4230788-retail-theft-is-robbing-people-of-the-american-dream/

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/17/2023): 3:05pm: On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to fill the speakership position left vacant following the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The Republican nominee for speaker, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), received 200 votes—well short of the 217 votes he needed to win a majority of the House. In total, twenty Republicans voted for candidates other than Jordan. Russell Dye, Communications Director for Jordan, suggested that another round of voting is expected to occur today. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), an ally of Jordan, echoed a similar sentiment—saying he thinks at least one more round of voting will occur on Tuesday. Following the vote, Speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry placed the House of Representatives in recess.

Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY) explained his vote against Jim Jordan's speakership bid: “I want a Speaker who understands Long Island's unique needs. Restoring the SALT deduction, safeguarding 9/11 victim support funding, and investing in critical infrastructure are our priorities. I look forward to discussions with candidates.” Several Republican holdouts are now suggesting that it's an impossibility for any candidate within their caucus to receive the 217 votes needed to become speaker and, consequently, the House should move to expand the powers of Speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC). 4:05pm- On Monday night, the Philadelphia Phillies won Game 1 of their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The final score was 5-3. 4:10pm- According to Luke Broadwater of The New York Times, “Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise met after Jordan lost on the first ballot. Jordan asked Scalise for help but did not receive a pledge to do so, according to a person familiar with the conversation. Scalise and his allies are smarting from the way Jordan supporters undercut Scalise after he won a conference election but they refused to support him.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/17/us/house-speaker-jim-jordan-vote 4:15pm- On Monday, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan imposed a limited gag order on Donald Trump—in a case that alleges Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Judge Chutkan's gag order prevents the former president from verbally attacking witnesses and prosecutors publicly. Alarmingly, it may also restrict Trump's ability to criticize specific elements of the Biden Administration's Department of Justice. Could this gag order impact Trump's ability to campaign—and is it a violation of his First Amendment right to free speech and petition? Trump is expected to appeal the order. While speaking at a rally in Clive, Iowa, Trump announced he is “willing to go to jail” as part of a principled stance against Churkan's “unconstitutional” gag order. 4:20pm- During a campaign rally in Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump jokingly compared himself to Al Capone, saying he has been indicted more times than the 1920s Chicago mobster. 4:30pm- According to Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) rocket struck a hospital in Gaza leaving an estimated 500 people dead.

Jordan asked Scalise for help but did not receive a pledge to do so, according to a person familiar with the conversation. Scalise and his allies are smarting from the way Jordan supporters undercut Scalise after he won a conference election but they refused to support him.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/17/us/house-speaker-jim-jordan-vote On Monday, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan imposed a limited gag order on Donald Trump—in a case that alleges Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Judge Chutkan's gag order prevents the former president from verbally attacking witnesses and prosecutors publicly. Alarmingly, it may also restrict Trump's ability to criticize specific elements of the Biden Administration's Department of Justice. Could this gag order impact Trump's ability to campaign—and is it a violation of his First Amendment right to free speech and petition? Trump is expected to appeal the order. While speaking at a rally in Clive, Iowa, Trump announced he is “willing to go to jail” as part of a principled stance against Churkan's “unconstitutional” gag order. During a campaign rally in Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump jokingly compared himself to Al Capone, saying he has been indicted more times than the 1920s Chicago mobster. According to Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) rocket struck a hospital in Gaza leaving an estimated 500 people dead. Ari Blaff of National Review writes: “The Palestinian Ministry of Health, a government body under the control of Hamas, previously claimed that an Israeli air strike was responsible for the hospital explosion.” You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/misfired-palestinian-islamic-jihad-rocket-responsible-for-hospital-explosion-idf-says/ Judge Carolyn Carluccio of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas in Pennsylvania joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her candidacy for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Luke Broadwater of The New York Times writes: “Representative Ann Wagner of Missouri called Mr. Jordan's candidacy a ‘nonstarter.'

Representative Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, a supporter of Mr. Jordan's, acknowledged that there were Republicans who would not support him ‘because they don't want to reward that behavior.' Some members, foreseeing a fight that could drag on for weeks, were also discussing how they might give Representative Patrick T. McHenry of North Carolina—the temporary speaker whose role is primarily to hold an election for a speaker—more power to carry out the chamber's work until the conflict could be resolved.” You can read Broadwater's full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/13/us/politics/house-speaker-jordan-scalise.html 4:00pm- Rep.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: Could Kevin McCarthy cut a deal with Democrats in order to save his speakership? According to reporting from Carl Hulse and Luke Broadwater of The New York Times, “Democrats have been strategizing internally about what concessions they might be able to extract from Mr. McCarthy in exchange for saving him from Mr. Gaetz and his allies. Democrats are eager to see Mr. McCarthy commit to more funding for Ukraine, award more federal projects in Democrats' districts and honor the deal on spending levels he reached this year with Mr. Biden, according to people familiar with the discussions. All would draw a backlash from Republicans. Some Democrats have also floated ideas that seem less likely to be acted upon, such as demanding co-chairs for committees, removing right-wing Republicans from the Rules Committee and even obtaining a promise that the G.O.P. campaign committees will not spend money to defeat politically vulnerable Democrats.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/02/us/politics/democrats-mccarthy-speaker.html On Tuesday, New York Judge Arthur F. Engoron placed a gag order on Donald Trump. According to Jonah E. Bromwich of The New York Times, the order arose because Trump mocked a court clerk on social media on Monday. He explains Trump mocked “the clerk, Allison Greenfield, shortly before noon on his Truth Social site. His post was a picture of Ms. Greenfield with Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader. Mr. Trump mocked Ms. Greenfield as ‘Schumer's girlfriend' and said that the case against him should be dismissed.” Is this a violation of Trump's free speech rights?
