The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/23/2023): 3:05pm- On Saturday, former President Donald Trump revealed that he expects to be arrested for hush money payments disturbed to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016—though, no arrest has yet been made. In his latest National Review report, Andrew C. McCarthy writes: “Turns out the state grand jury in Manhattan, which is investigating former president Trump's Stormy Daniels escapade, will not convene this afternoon. The grand jurors, whose proceedings occur in afternoons…had been on ‘standby,' waiting for prosecutors to tell them whether they'd be needed today. It is unclear whether, in keeping them on standby, Bragg's office contemplated presenting testimony from one or more additional witnesses, or asking the grand jurors to vote on an indictment… Based on experience, moreover, we can deduce that Bragg has misgivings because he has already moth-balled the investigation at least once, over a year ago. He resuscitated it under pressure from anti-Trump progressives and a pair of disgruntled prosecutors who quit over his refusal to move forward.” You can read more about McCarthy's assessment of Trump's supposedly pending indictment here: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/whats-going-on-in-braggs-grand-jury-investigation-of-trump/ 3:35pm- While appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Colorado Magistrate Judge Kato Crews—whom President Joe Biden has nominated to the U.S. District Court of Colorado—could not answer Senator John Kennedy's (R-LA) request to define the legal term “Brady Motion.” 3:40pm- Speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Robert J.

Netflix has decided to cancel the series, though it is still available to watch on the streaming platform. 3:30pm- In his latest RealClearInvestigations piece, journalist Paul Sperry writes: “The Justice Department is not disclosing to the public or Congress links between President Biden's son Hunter and brother James and a corrupt Chinese government agent who doled out millions of dollars in bribes. It has scrubbed the connections from court documents and is suggesting it doesn't have evidence clearly in its possession.” You can read Sperry's full article here: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2023/03/15/the_biden_justice_department_stands_accused_of_hiding_this_evidence_of_biden-china_corruption_887223.html 3:45pm- Judge Michael Donohue—Special Counsel of Ocean County—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Wednesday night's information session on the proposed development of offshore wind projects. According to CBS News, the offshore wind project would consist of nearly one-hundred windmills visible from beaches in Ocean City and Brigantine. Judge Donohue notes that a majority of the local residents in attendance last night were against the construction of the proposed wind farm. 4:05pm- Hannah Davis—Research Assistant in The Heritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest editorial, “Fighting Human Trafficking and Battling Biden's Open Border.” You can read the article here: https://www.heritage.org/immigration/commentary/fighting-human-trafficking-and-battling-bidens-open-border 4:35pm- March Madness: The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament began today, and Rich's Maryland Terrapin's won in round 1…but Matt and Rich are really rooting for Penn State. Why? Because Penn State men's basketball airs on WPHT, and if they advance it'll mean more days off for the show! 4:45pm- Rich has a series of mandatory “training courses” that he needs to complete immediately—they were due in December… 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: While appearing on Morning Joe, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci continued to espouse his belief that COVID-19 did not originate in a Wuhan, China laboratory—but instead developed naturally. It's the three-year anniversary of the outbreak's impact on Americans, where were you in March of 2020? Rich speaks with listeners. 5:40pm- Steve Miller—Journalist at Real Clear Investigations—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “Leftist Groups Tapping $1 Billion to Vastly Expand the Private Financing of Public Elections.” You can read the article here: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/authors/steve_miller/ 6:05pm- According to a new study, reusable water bottles hold 40,000 times bacteria than a toilet seat! 6:10pm- Actor Ben Affleck reveals he doesn't golf because it reminds him of meth…wait…what on earth is he talking about? 6:15pm- While speaking before the Senate Finance Committee, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen refused to acknowledge that deficit spending was “one of the main causes of inflation.” Sec. Yellen also revealed, according to National Review, that Chinese Communist Party-linked businesses that had deposits in Silicon Valley Bank would be made financially whole by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). 6:40pm- While appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Vice President Kamala Harris revealed that sometimes her job really is similar to what is depicted in the HBO comedy series “Veep.”

Conservative icon William F. Buckley died fifteen years ago as the George W. Bush presidency was in its last year. The movement to which Buckley had dedicated his prodigious energies and remarkable mind faced an ordeal as Bush's "compassionate conservatism" foundered on massive failures: the war, the response to Hurricane Katrina, the subprime mortgage crisis. Today, conservatives and populists are somewhat split over another major foreign policy question: should the U.S. continue to support Ukraine? Buckley's movement is also being pulled further to the right by populists, media personalities, and cranks. What would Buckley do? In this episode, National Review senior writer Daniel McLaughlin discusses the past and future of conservatism.

Recessions are sad enough when they can't be avoided, but purposely creating them because of poor economic theory or practice is an entirely new level of unacceptable. That is the view of yours truly, as well as the view of my guest on Capital Record this week, Alan Reynolds. Alan is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and a long-time Reagan-era supply-side economist and thought leader. Listen in for a conversation on why inflation is lower than people think -- and has been -- and why the Fed is making the same mistake in 2023 that it made in 2021, only from the other side of the coin. Just as “too easy” creates all sorts of problems, “too tight” does the same -- and then, guess what, leads to a new era of . . . “too easy.”

Today on The McCarthy Report, Andy and Rich discuss new developments in the Ukraine–Russia war, Ron DeSantis's stance on Ukraine, and the impending Trump indictment.

John J. Miller is joined by James Rosen to discuss his new book, 'Scalia: Rise to Greatness.'

In this episode, Matt and Sam go deep into the life and times of Whittaker Chambers, most famous for his role in the "trial of the century"—the trial of Alger Hiss for perjury after Chambers accused Hiss of being a Communist spy during his years working in the federal government, especially the State Department. The two figures, once friends, came to symbolize a clash that was bigger than themselves, and prefigured the turn American politics would take at the onset of the Cold War. Chambers would become a hero of the nascent postwar conservative movement, with his status as an ex-Communist—one of many who would congregate around National Review in the mid-to-late 1950s—bringing his moral credibility to the right as one who had seen the other side and lived to tell his tale. Before all that, though, Chambers's life was like something out of a novel: a difficult family life, early brilliance at Columbia University, literary achievement in leftwing publications, and years "underground" engaging in espionage for the Soviet Union against the United States. "Out of my weakness and folly (but also out of my strength), I committed the characteristic crimes of my century," writes  Chambers in his 1952 memoir/jeremiad Witness.  Your hosts break it all down, assess his crimes and contributions, and explore one of the most consequential American lives of the twentieth century.  Sources:Sam Tanenhaus, Whittaker Chambers: A Biography (1997)Whittaker Chambers, Witness (1952)Whittaker Chambers, Cold Friday (1964)Whittaker Chambers, "Big Sister is Watching You," National Review, December 28, 1957The Whittaker Chambers Reader: His Complete National ReviewWritings, 1957-1959 (2014)William F.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/08/2023): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, a Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic heard from experts in science, medicine, and infectious disease to help determine the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Robert Redfield, the former Director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), testified that COVID-19's unique characteristics mean that it was likely the result of gain-of-function research. Dr. Redfield explains, “[i]t's important to understand what the cleavage site does... It changes the orientation of the binding domain of Covid. So now it could not see the Ace2 receptor, it totally changes the orientation, so it has a high affinity for human receptors... It didn't seem that it belonged there”—concluding that the virus was most likely engineered.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/06/2023): 3:05pm- According to The New York Post's Miranda Devine, “[n]ew emails uncovered by House Republicans probing the COVID-19 pandemic reveal the deceptive nature of Dr. Anthony Fauci.” In early 2020, Fauci commissioned a paper to “disprove the theory that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.” You can read the opinion editorial here: https://nypost.com/2023/03/05/new-emails-show-fauci-commissioned-paper-to-disprove-wuhan-lab-leak-theory/ 3:30pm- Appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) addressed allegations that Dr. Anthony—as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease—pushed researchers to disprove the laboratory leak theory. Rep. Jordan called for greater transparency immediately. 3:40pm- While speaking with Margaret Brennan, former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said, “I think we should work under the assumption that there is a probability [the COVID-19 pandemic] was a lab leak…we ought to look into outlawing that kind of research…or conduct it in… high security labs.” 3:50pm- Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News' Shannon Bream that he has no doubt that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China and accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of being “complicit” in its cover-up. 4:05pm- Speaking at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) taking place outside of Washington, D.C., former President Donald Trump referred to the World Health Organization (WHO) as “We Hide Outbreaks.” Trump also told members of the press that China needs to be held accountable for the COVID-19 outbreak, accusing China of costing the world economy an estimated $50 trillion in economic growth. 4:10pm- On Sunday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Ventura, California. During his speech, in front of a packed crowd, Gov. DeSantis criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom, Disney, and woke ideology. 4:15pm- Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley spoke at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) taking place outside of Washington, D.C. over the weekend. Her speech was not well attended—is she just campaigning to be the eventual Republican Presidential nominee's Vice President? 4:35pm- According to The New York Post, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights has ordered USA Powerlifting to permit biological males who identify as female to compete in the women's division. 4:55pm- New York City Mayor Eric Adams is now telling citizens to remove their face masks when entering a store—in hopes of cracking down on shoplifting. 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: According to a report from Ari Blaff at National Review, “Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) staff attorney Thomas Jurgens was among the dozens of rioters arrested following a violent attack on police at the proposed site of the Atlanta Police Foundation's training facility, located a few miles south of the city.” The Southern Poverty Law Center is notorious for inaccurately labeling mundane conservative organizations as dangerous, hate groups.

Stine intends to edit his “Goosebump” books to have more inclusive language. 5:40pm- Comedian Chris Rock addressed Will Smith's 2022 Oscars slap during a live Netflix stand-up special on Saturday. 6:05pm- A New York Times opinion editorial by David Wallace-Wells theorizes that “we've been talking about the lab-leak hypothesis all wrong.” Wallace-Wells writes, “if you had been told, back in 2019, that this would be the state of knowledge in 2023, would it not seem extremely weird to you that there has not been a broad public conversation about the wisdom of potentially dangerous virological research in the meantime? That so much more oxygen had been eaten up by partisan theater than by public debate over the policy implications of such a possibility?... The boundaries of mainstream discourse have suggested that we should resolve the matter of pandemic origins before moving on to the implications of the lab-leak hypothesis. But this has proved a paralyzing standard.” You can read the editorial here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/28/opinion/lab-leak-energy-department-covid.html 6:30pm- A New York Times opinion-columnist says he can no longer enjoy McDonald's because his socio-economic status has changed after attending Yale—and, consequently, fast food is now beneath him. 6:45pm- Russell Brand accuses MSNBC of bias while on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher.
