The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (07/31/2025): 3:05pm- The Biggest Political Scandal in American History: On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee declassified intelligence—specifically the annex to former Special Counsel John Durham's report—allegedly revealing that Hillary Clinton personally approved of the efforts to promote the false narrative that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election. One declassified email exchange reveals that “HRC approved Julia's [Clinton foreign policy advisor Julianne Smith] idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections. That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level.” 3:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said of the Russia collusion hoax: “with this Durham report annex out, it finally proves that the FBI was covering up.” 3:40pm- A report from The New York Post reveals that FBI Director Kash Patel found a “burn bag” with thousands of documents related to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. One of the documents discovered is the classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham's probe. 4:05pm- Declassified intelligence documents released Thursday allege that Hillary Clinton approved of a strategy proposed by a senior campaign adviser to link then-candidate Donald Trump to false claims of Russian collusion, in an effort to deflect attention from her own escalating email controversy during the 2016 election. 4:10pm- The 24-page intelligence annex, compiled from memos and emails gathered by the Obama administration ahead of Election Day, details “confidential conversations” between top Democratic National Committee officials—including then-Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz—and executives at liberal billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundations. The plan, reportedly crafted by Clinton's then-foreign policy adviser Julianne Smith, focused on falsely linking the Trump campaign with Russian officials. 4:20pm- Flashback: For years, Hillary Clinton has appeared on television baselessly insisting that Donald Trump colluded with Russian officials to alter the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. 4:30pm- In a post to X, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard wrote: “Whistleblower reveals how they were threatened by a supervisor to go along with the Obama-directed Russia hoax “intelligence” assessment, even though they knew it was not credible or accurate. The Whistleblower refused. Yesterday we released the Whistleblower's firsthand account of what happened in the crafting of the January 2017 ICA, their yearslong efforts to expose the egregious manipulation and manufacturing of intelligence carried out at the highest levels of government and the IC (detailed in our previous releases) and how they were repeatedly ignored. Thank you to this courageous whistleblower, and others who are coming forward now, putting their own well-being on the line to defend our democratic republic, ensure the American people know the truth, and hold those responsible accountable.” 4:40pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. 5:05pm- Listeners weigh-in on the latest Hillary Clinton/Russiagate revelations. Will anyone ultimately be held accountable? 5:15pm- A report from The New York Post reveals that FBI Director Kash Patel found a “burn bag” with thousands of documents related to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation.

The digital footprint left by DOGE in agency computer systems and IT networks would be thoroughly examined under legislation introduced Wednesday by a trio of Senate Democrats. The Pick Up After Your DOGE Act from Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts would require the administrator of the Elon Musk-created tech collective to provide a full accounting to the U.S. comptroller general of all the agencies and IT systems that DOGE accessed. Those systems would then be subject to comprehensive performance and security audits. “The DOGE-boys have weaseled their way into Americans' most sensitive data systems, claiming to hunt ‘waste, fraud, and abuse,' while actually creating waste, fraud, and abuse. They're destroying Americans' trust in once-reliable government systems and could be hawking your stolen data to their friends in Big Tech and AI,” Whitehouse said in a press release. He added that the Pick Up After Your DOGE Act protects seniors and all Americans by fixing any bugs or backdoors that DOGE may have purposefully or negligently created in Social Security, Medicare, and other highly sensitive government data systems. The audit would be conducted by the Government Accountability Office, which has been bombarded with congressional requests to probe DOGE's agency IT dives since the beginning of the Trump administration. The United States Military Academy abruptly ended the appointment of Jen Easterly to a high-profile academic position in West Point's Department of Social Sciences, according to a memorandum issued Wednesday by the Secretary of the Army. On Tuesday, the academy announced that Easterly was named as the next Robert F. McDermott Distinguished Chair, a department position created in 1943 to bring a leading scholar, practitioner, or expert in the fields of social sciences — such as economics, political science, or international relations — to West Point. In a since-deleted LinkedIn post, the academy welcomed the former Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director and academy alumnus after “an extraordinary career of service in the public and private sectors,” adding that her “unique perspective — combining military experience, advanced academic training, private sector innovation, and senior government service — makes her ideally suited to guide discussions on the critical issues facing our nation and the world.” After the announcement, far-right activist Laura Loomer suggested on X that Easterly should not be named to the position, due to her work under the Biden administration, allegedly with Nina Jankowicz, who served as the executive director of the Disinformation Governance Board of the United States. (Jankowicz later Wednesday posted on BlueSky that she had never worked with Easterly.) On Wednesday, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll announced in a post on X that the position would be rescinded, and a full review of the academy's hiring practices would be conducted.

The Author Events Series presents Senator Ron Wyden | It Takes Chutzpah: How to Fight Fearlessly for Progressive Change REGISTER In Conversation with Michael Solomonov Endowed Lecture: Pine Tree Foundation It Takes Chutzpah is an inspirational call to action by a senior U.S. politician, describing how Americans of all age groups, persuasions, and occupations can defy convention, chart new pathways for their communities, schools, at work and in life. US Senator Ron Wyden is widely praised for coming up with sensible-sounding ideas no one else had thought of and making the counter-intuitive political alliances that prove helpful in passing bills. In It Takes Chutzpah, he offers a progressive leader's manifesto for being a courageous warrior during turbulent times. "Chutzpah" is a Yiddish word that describes a trait that many Jews consider in-born. Ron explores chutzpah's long history and many interpretations and reclaims the word chutzpah for a new American generation, showing how it can be used for good to reclaim idealism and enact positive change. He shares "Ron's 12 Rules of Chutzpah" that enable any individual or group to achieve their objectives, including: 1. If you want to make change, you've got to make noise. 2.In a world where everyone thinks and acts for the short-term, always play the long game. 3. Leading is coaching: Whether in legislation or in life, you've got to bring people and ideas together around a shared goal. Ron identifies several key values--free speech, health care, reproductive rights, a clean environment, and reigning in Big Tech--and draws on his decades of public service to stress that preserving those values means that loud brashness and boldness will be needed now more than ever.

The Air India B787 fatal crash and the ram air turbine, how your personal travel data is sold, next generation commercial aircraft engines, personal electric flying machines that are becoming dangerously affordable, and GippsAero is coming back to Australia to build the GA8 airvan. Aviation News Indian authorities begin investigating Air India crash in which 1 passenger survived India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is investigating the fatal crash of an Air India B787. Of the 242 passengers and crew aboard, one passenger survived. Numerous theories are being speculated in the press, including loss of power by both engines, failure to set the flaps properly for takeoff, and erroneously retracting the flaps instead of the landing gear. Some say the Ram Air Turbine appears to be deployed in one video. The Ram Air Turbine (RAT) extends from the fuselage or the wing to generate power in an emergency. Twin blades [corrected] spin a shaft connected to either an electrical generator or a hydraulic pump that drives a generator. The B787, A320, and A380 Ram Air Turbines are produced by Collins Aerospace. The company manufactures hydraulic, electric, and hybrid RATs that generate both electric and hydraulic power. Safran also produces Ram Air Turbines. Ram Air Turbine. Image courtesy Collins Aerospace.

Airlines Secretly Sold One Billion Passenger Records—Now The Government Can Track Where You Travel The Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) is a major provider of settlement services for the airline industry. Clients include airlines, travel agencies, and corporate travel departments. ARC is owned by the airlines and sells passenger names, full domestic flight itineraries, and payment details (e.g., credit card used) through its “Travel Intelligence Program” (TIP). Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is reportedly purchasing this data. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) is critical of this practice and wants airlines to explain why they allow ARC to resell this information. CBP claims they adhere to strong privacy policies, and only use the data for open investigations. Open Fan Would Be Suboptimal On Narrowbody, RTX Chief Scientist Says The next generation of single-aisle aircraft will need to offer at least a 20% fuel burn improvement. Some of that will likely come from the airframe, and most will come from the power plants. The next generation of turbofans under development includes the CFM International open-fan RISE demonstrator and geared turbofans from Pratt & Whitney. Thermal efficiency vs. propulsive efficiency: Thermal efficiency measures how effectively an engine converts fuel energy into mechanical work. Propulsive efficiency measures how efficiently the engine converts mechanical energy into useful thrust. Both are dimensionless ratios, typically expressed as a percentage (%). The overall efficiency of the engine is the propulsive efficiency multiplied by the thermal efficiency.

The Department of Defense's Office of the Chief Information Officer is considering reducing the number of Pentagon employees who have Microsoft 365 E5 licenses, as it works with the Trump administration to rein in federal spending. The DOD currently maintains more than 2 million Microsoft 365 E5 licenses across two separate programs — the Defense Enterprise Office Solution (DEOS) and the Enterprise Software Initiative (DOD ESI). Through the established contracts, Pentagon components can purchase software licenses for commercial Microsoft products, including Office 365 applications and other collaboration tools. But ongoing efforts spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have prompted the Defense Department to review how many of those licenses it actually needs, Katie Arrington, who is performing the duties of Pentagon CIO, told DefenseScoop. Arrington said June 6 in an exclusive interview: “Our Microsoft 365 contract [is a] very big contract here in the Department of Defense. Does every individual in the Department of Defense need an [E5] license? Absolutely not.” With the department's Deputy CIO for the Information Enterprise Bill Dunlap, Arrington has been working alongside her DOGE representative to review individual position descriptions and multi-level securities to determine what level of Microsoft 365 E5 license that person needs, she said. Other criteria being considered include user and mission requirements for office productivity software, as well as collaboration capabilities, a DOD CIO spokesperson told DefenseScoop. Ten congressional Democrats are demanding answers from Palantir about reports that it is aiding the IRS in building a searchable, governmentwide “mega-database” to house Americans' sensitive information. In a letter sent Tuesday to Palantir CEO Alex Karp, the lawmakers argued that the creation of a database of that kind likely violates several federal laws, including the Privacy Act. The Democrats wrote: “The unprecedented possibility of a searchable, ‘mega-database' of tax returns and other data that will potentially be shared with or accessed by other federal agencies is a surveillance nightmare that raises a host of legal concerns, not least that it will make it significantly easier for Donald Trump's Administration to spy on and target his growing list of enemies and other Americans.” The letter, led by Senate Finance Committee ranking member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., follows New York Times reporting last month that detailed the expansion of Palantir's federal government work under the Trump administration, noting that the data-mining giant has received $113 million since the president's January inauguration plus another $795 million award from the Defense Department. According to the Times, Palantir has spoken to IRS and Social Security Administration representatives about buying its tech. The Democrats' letter said Foundry — a Palantir data analysis and organization product — has been deployed at the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, as well as the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health.

JIM THORPE https://x.com/jathorpmfmKIRSTIN COSGROVE https://x.com/KirstinCosgrovehttps://advancedbiologicalresearchgroup.org/"Is This the Final Warning?"On this urgent episode of American Made, host Ann Vandersteel investigates the CDC's quiet reversal on COVID-19 vaccine guidance for healthy children and pregnant women—just as explosive new data from DMED and VAERS confirm what many feared:⚠️ Massive spikes in adverse events, disability, and sudden death. Now, with self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccines being added to the childhood schedule—biotech that replicates inside the body to amplify spike protein production—the time for polite discussion is over.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is implementing an AI chatbot called “chatCBP” for its workforce, following in the footsteps of similar federal government creations like DHSChat and StateChat. “CBP's chatCBP is an AI-powered chatbot designed to improve efficiency and access to information for CBP personnel while meeting CBP's security standards,” a CBP spokesperson told FedScoop in an emailed statement. The tool uses a large language model and gives workers responses and guidance in a conversational format “quickly and securely.” According to the spokesperson: “chatCBP offers features like document summarization, compilation, information extraction, and multi-file analysis, reducing the time spent searching for and interpreting documents.” News of the chatbot comes after other agencies within the federal government have launched their own internal chatbots in an attempt to more securely provide the type of generative AI assistance made popular by ChatGPT. That includes the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security, CBP's parent agency. DHSChat, for its part, was announced last year and is similarly aimed at aiding workers with routine tasks. But, per the spokesperson, chatCBP is different in that it's designed to meet unique operational needs that the subagency has, such as requiring more control over LLM development, monitoring, data management and security. Four senators asked Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to reestablish the Cyber Safety Review Board, citing the need to investigate a landmark breach of telecommunications networks by Chinese hackers known as Salt Typhoon. In a letter last Thursday, the senators also said the board has conducted important oversight of other incidents before DHS removed its members in January, such as its report on a breach of Microsoft by other Chinese hackers. Democratic Sens. Mark Warner of Virginia, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Ron Wyden of Oregon wrote in the letter: “The CSRB played a vital role in U.S. national security carrying out post-incident reviews and providing information and making recommendations to improve public and private sector cyber security. Therefore, we urge you to swiftly reconstitute the Board with qualified leaders to shape our nation's cyber response.” Warner is the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence panel, and the four members sit on either the Intelligence Committee or the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. DHS purged all members from its advisory boards and committees in January. While the later disbanding of other boards has drawn some concern, the removal of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency-led Cyber Safety Review Board's members has drawn the most negative reaction from the cybersecurity community. It halted a Salt Typhoon investigation that had only just begun.

The U.S. government has renewed funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Program, a critical database for tracking cybersecurity flaws, just hours before its funding was set to expire. Established 25 years ago, the CVE program assigns unique identifiers to security vulnerabilities, facilitating consistent communication across the cybersecurity landscape. The renewal of funding comes amid concerns that without it, new vulnerabilities could go untracked, posing risks to national security and critical infrastructure. In response to the funding uncertainty, two initiatives emerged: the CVE Foundation, a nonprofit aimed at ensuring the program's independence, and the Global CVE Allocation System, a decentralized platform introduced by the European Union.In addition to the CVE funding situation, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden has blocked the nomination of Sean Planky to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) due to the agency's refusal to release a crucial unclassified report from 2022. This report details security issues within U.S. telecommunications companies, which Wyden claims represent a multi-year cover-up of negligent cybersecurity practices. The senator argues that the public deserves access to this information, especially in light of recent cyber threats, including the SALT typhoon hack that compromised sensitive communications.The cybersecurity landscape is further complicated by significant layoffs at CISA, which could affect nearly 40% of its workforce, potentially weakening U.S. national security amid rising cyber threats. Recent cuts have already impacted critical personnel, including threat hunters, which could hinder the agency's ability to share vital threat intelligence with the private sector. Meanwhile, the Defense Digital Service at the Pentagon is facing a mass resignation of nearly all its staff, following pressure from the Department of Government Efficiency, which could effectively shut down the program designed to accelerate technology adoption during national security crises.On the technology front, OpenAI has released new AI reasoning models, O3 and O4 Mini, but notably did not provide a safety report for the new GPT-4.1 model, raising concerns about transparency and accountability in AI development. The lack of a safety report is particularly alarming as AI systems become more integrated into client-facing tools. Additionally, SolarWinds Corporation has been acquired by Ternerva Capital, prompting managed service providers (MSPs) to reassess their dependencies on SolarWinds products and consider the implications for product roadmaps and support guarantees.

Right now, the Republican controlled Congress is speeding down a path that would raise costs for food and health care for millions of families by taking away Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. It would do so in order to help pay for massive tax cuts primarily benefiting the most well-off, including millionaires and billionaires.In this episode of Policy for the People, we speak with Oregon Senator Ron Wyden about what the budget blueprint currently being discussed in Congress means for Oregonians and the nation. We also speak with Steve Wamhoff, Federal Policy Director at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, about his recent report titled: Federal Tax Policy: What Should It Accomplish? In it he argues that our federal government needs to raise more revenue, not less, and do so in a progressive way. In other words, we need to go in the opposite direction from the current plan in Congress.

As we countdown to the President's tariff announcement, we'll look at what the market is hoping for and what could lead to sell off. Plus, Senate Finance Committee ranking member, Ron Wyden, weighs in on the tariffs and taxes. And, we look ahead to what these tariff announcements could mean for the path of the Fed's rate moves.
If you're a Techdirt reader, you're probably familiar with Senator Ron Wyden. In January, he released his new book It Takes Chutzpah, offering up a call for political boldness that feels even more relevant with every day that passes. This week, Senator Wyden joins Mike on the podcast to talk about the book and the political moment we find ourselves in.
Senate Democrats are gearing up for battle—this time, to protect your Social Security check. Today, they launched what they're calling a “war room” to push back against cuts being made by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. The move comes as the Trump administration plans to axe certain identity verification phone services at the Social Security Administration next month. Critics warn this will overload an already struggling system and hurt vulnerable seniors. The war room will do more than just sound the alarm. Led by Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, Mark Kelly and Raphael Warnock, it's designed to amplify messaging, oversee DOGE's actions, hold field visits, and put pressure on Republicans—especially in swing districts—through town halls and public engagement. The bigger play: DOGE is slashing agencies left and right, but Democrats say Social Security is where they're making their stand. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tonight on The Last Word: Resignations mount at the Justice Department under Trump. Plus, Democrats demand answers on Elon Musk's access into Social Security. And Trump and Putin officials meet without a Ukrainian envoy. Andrew Weissmann, Sen. Ron Wyden, and Timothy Snyder join Lawrence O'Donnell.
Today, I'm talking with Senator Ron Wyden, a democrat and the senior senator from Oregon. He's been in the Senate for almost 30 years, which makes him one of longest serving members of the institution. We scheduled this interview with Senator Wyden a while ago — he's got a new book out called “It Takes Chutzpah: How to Fight Fearlessly for Progressive Change.” But recent events made it vastly more important to talk about the state of our federal government – and specifically, what Elon Musk and DOGE are doing as they seize power in various federal agencies. So right up front and very bluntly, I wanted to ask Wyden: What is even going on? And can even he and his fellow senators keep up with it?

In this episode Oregon Senator Ron Wyden discusses the chaotic first weeks of the Trump administration, including the firing of inspectors general, threats to federal spending, and Trump's nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for HHS Secretary. Wyden criticizes Trump's disregard for the law and his attempts to undermine the federal government. He argues Democrats must focus on issues like healthcare costs, housing, and education to counter Trump's agenda that benefits the wealthy. Wyden also discusses the importance of principled bipartisanship and his new book "It Takes Chutzpah" which outlines his approach to progressive politics. Overall, Wyden presents a critical view of the Trump administration's actions and calls for Democrats to take bold action to help working families.
