Podcast appearances and mentions of mark mellman

Analysts question how long a spike in support for Kamala Harris will last.   Today marks the final day of the Democratic National Convention, and when Harris is expected to accept her party's Presidential nomination.   Meanwhile, US media reports independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr is planning to end his campaign this week and endorse Donald Trump.   Democratic pollster Mark Mellman told Mike Hosking the convention will undoubtedly help Harris for now.   But he says the country is still divided, and it will be a very close race.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2 & 3: 4:05pm- Ukrainian President Zelensky Ordered Nord Stream Destruction: Bojan Pancevski, The Wall Street Journal's Chief European Political Correspondent, reports: “in the small hours of Sept. 26, Scandinavian seismologists picked up signals indicating an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption hundreds of miles away, near the Danish island of Bornholm. They were caused by three powerful explosions and the largest-ever recorded release of natural gas, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of Denmark. One of the most audacious acts of sabotage in modern history, the operation worsened an energy crisis in Europe—an assault on critical infrastructure that could be considered an act of war under international law. Theories swirled about who was responsible. Was it the CIA? Could Putin himself have set the plan in motion? Now, for the first time, the outlines of the real story can be told…Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved the plan, according to one officer who participated and three people familiar with it. But later, when the CIA learned of it and asked the Ukrainian president to pull the plug, he ordered a halt, those people said. Zelensky's commander in chief, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, who was leading the effort, nonetheless forged ahead.” You can read the full report here: https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-real-story-da24839c?mod=hp_lead_pos7 4:30pm- Is Kamala's Sudden Uptick in Favorability Permanent? Not Likely: Steven Shepard of Politico writes: “Voters are seeing Harris in a new light since she became Democrats' presidential candidate. Throughout the past three years, there's been a wide gulf between the number of voters who had a favorable opinion of the vice president, and the significantly larger share who viewed her unfavorably...That doesn't mean it will last, though: Trump's campaign has started an advertising barrage in battleground states, trying to paint her as “dangerously liberal.” That could dent her favorable ratings, especially as scrutiny of her record ratchets up following her initial campaign rollout. ‘With Kamala Harris, it's like ‘A Star is Born,' said Mark Mellman, the lead pollster for then-Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in the 2004 presidential race. ‘It's not unreal. It's not unnatural. It's not fake. But it's not necessarily permanent. I can certainly imagine a situation where both candidates' favorabilities decline a little bit.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/14/kamala-harris-polls-donald-trump-00174050 5:00pm- On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey. During his address, he accused Kamala Harris of adopting a “Maduro plan” for her economic platform—referencing Venezuela's socialist authoritarian leader Nicolas Maduro.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/15/2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held a joint event in Prince George's County, Maryland. During his speech, Biden mockingly referred to Donald Trump as “Donald Dump.” 3:10pm- In a recent interview with The Washington Post, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was quoted as telling Republicans: “We're out to get you, you're dead.” The outlandish rhetoric comes one month after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was nearly assassinated while speaking in Butler, PA. You can read the article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/10/nancy-pelosi-memoir-trump/ 3:15pm- While appearing on Fox News with Bill Hemmer, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard argued that the mainstream media is ostensibly collaborating with Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris—ignoring the drastic changes in her historically far-left policy preferences and allowing her to inaccurately masquerade as a “moderate.” In the past, Harris has supported: a ban on fracking, abolishing ICE, government-imposed limitations on red meat consumption, and ending private health insurance. Will the media hold Harris accountable prior to the start of early voting in mid-September? 3:25pm- Harris Campaign Caught Altering Headlines: White House Correspondent for The Daily Caller Reagan Reese writes, “Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has been caught editing various outlets' headlines to appear in Americans' Google searches as sponsored ads, according to an Axios report. Over the last ten days, the Harris campaign has edited the headlines and descriptions of almost a dozen outlets' articles found through Google search advertisements to appear as search ads from the Harris campaign, according to Axios. Several of those outlets, including CNN, USA Today and NPR, told the outlet they were not aware that their articles were being manipulated for Harris campaign ads.” You can read the full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2024/08/13/kamala-harris-campaign-fake-headlines-google-searches-american-voters-npr-cnn/ 3:30pm- Kamala's Economic Message is Purposefully Light on Detail: Jim Tankersley and Andrew Duehren of The New York Times write, “Vice President Kamala Harris's sudden ascent to the top of the Democratic ticket has generated a host of questions about her economic agenda, including how much she will stick to the details of President Biden's positions, tweak them, or chart entirely new ones. When she begins to roll out her policy vision this week, Ms. Harris is likely to answer only some of those questions. During an economy-focused speech on Friday in Raleigh, N.C., Ms. Harris will outline a sort of reboot of the administration's economic agenda, according to four people familiar with Ms. Harris's plans. She will lay out an approach relatively light on details, they said.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/14/us/politics/kamala-harris-economy-north-carolina.html 3:40pm- Alfredo Ortiz—President and CEO of Job Creators Network—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for The Daily Caller, “Kamala Harris is a Threat to Entry-Level Jobs.”  You can read the full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2024/08/02/opinion-kamala-harris-threat-entry-level-jobs-alfredo-ortiz/ 4:05pm- Ukrainian President Zelensky Ordered Nord Stream Destruction: Bojan Pancevski, The Wall Street Journal's Chief European Political Correspondent, reports: “in the small hours of Sept. 26, Scandinavian seismologists picked up signals indicating an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption hundreds of miles away, near the Danish island of Bornholm.

A few month ago, Democrats were upbeat, believing fervently that they had a decent chance of beating the historical odds and retaining the control of the United States congress. The Supreme Court Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade had energized women across the country, while President Biden scored some major legislative successes. Most notably a climate change bill, that they a bit deceptively labeled, the Inflation Reduction Act. But today, with the midterms less than two weeks away, a new gloom hangs over the party's prospects. The polls consistently show rising prices, the economy, and crime to be the dominant issues preoccupying voters, playing to the GOP advantage. Where do things now stand? We talk to Democratic pollster Mark Mellman to get his state-by-state breakdown. And then we check in with Republican consultant Brian Robinson on two showcase races in Georgia.

Between now and November, we will be taking a close look at the midterm election season, which -- for most voters -- is just kicking off now. If history is a guide, the first mid-term election cycle of a new president should result in the opposing party (the party not in the White House) scoring a wave of victories in Congress. How big will the wave be? New polls suggest that there may not be much of a wave for Republicans. But are these new polls missing something? To offer a masterclass in how to de-code the polls -- and a number of other dynamics in these midterms -- Mike Murphy returns to the podcast. Mike's worked on 26 gubernatorial and US Senate races across the country, including 12 wins in Blue States – something that's getting harder and harder to do for Republicans. He was a top strategist for John McCain, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's a political analyst for NBC and MSNBC. He's co-host of the Hacks on Tap podcast and newsletter. And Mike's also co director of the University of Southern California's Center for the Political Future.

When the U.S. House of Representatives voted last week 420-9-2 to replenish Israel's Iron Dome defense system, it ended debate about America's short-term support for the program and simultaneously sparked a conversation about the future of bipartisan support for the U.S.-Israel relationship.  Mark Mellman, President and CEO of Democratic Majority for Israel, joins us to address that topic and more, including whether Democratic support for Israel is shifting and trends in attitudes towards Israel on both sides of the aisle.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Today's panel comprises political correspondent Tal Schneider and Palestinian affairs reporter Aaron Boxerman, along with host Amanda Borschel-Dan. The new United Arab Emirates embassy opened this morning in Tel Aviv. Schneider was there -- and will explain who was not and why. In 2015, new national security advisor Eyal Hulata -- a career analyst at the Mossad -- declared that the Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA, is actually the "lesser evil" for Israel. Why is this significant? This week, much media attention was paid to the denial of jailed PFLP member Khalida Jarrar from attending her daughter's funeral. Boxerman brings the nuance behind the story. This week, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas phoned up new Israeli President Isaac Herzog. After a striking low under former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, could this be a warming of ties between the two peoples? And finally, Schneider recently spoke with top United States political advisor Mark Mellman, who has accompanied Foreign Minister Yair Lapid on his rise to the top over the past decade. Mellman explains how now may be the time for a renewal of bi-partisan relations with the US -- but it comes with a big price tag. Discussed articles include: ‘Just the beginning': UAE opens Tel Aviv embassy as sides hail ties In 2015, new national security adviser saw Iran nuclear deal as ‘lesser evil' Israel bars jailed senior PFLP member from attending her daughter's funeral PA's Abbas calls to congratulate Israel's new president Lapid's US pollster sees 10 years of work come to ‘dramatic, emotional' fruition Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.
