Today's Headlines: Trump met with El Salvador's President Bukele amid backlash over the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legal U.S. resident now imprisoned in a Salvadoran mega-prison. Despite a unanimous Supreme Court ruling ordering his return, both leaders deflected responsibility—Trump even suggested sending more U.S. citizens abroad. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen now says he'll go to El Salvador himself if needed. The White House also blocked the Associated Press from the meeting, in defiance of a court order protecting press access. Meanwhile, Russia's deadly missile strike on Sumy killed 35 civilians, and U.S.–Iran nuclear talks resumed in Oman. Trump lashed out at CBS over unfavorable reporting, Harvard rejected a federal ultimatum to dismantle DEI programs, and an arsonist who attacked the Pennsylvania governor's mansion is facing terrorism charges. Lastly, Marjorie Taylor Greene made some suspiciously well-timed trades before Trump paused tariffs.

Suspect in custody after overnight arson at Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's residence

Today's Headlines: President Trump announced a temporary tariff exemption on electronics like smartphones and laptops — but his Commerce Secretary clarified that separate semiconductor tariffs are likely coming within months. The administration continues to face backlash after deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, despite a court order. Most migrants sent to the facility reportedly have no criminal records. Trump has asked the Supreme Court to let him fire officials at independent federal agencies — a move that could impact leadership at institutions like the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, a new State Department initiative is asking employees to report “anti-Christian bias” via anonymous tip forms. The Social Security Administration will now communicate exclusively through X, eliminating other forms of public outreach while continuing to reduce staff and office access. Elon Musk's government savings program, DOGE, has cut its projected goal from $1 trillion to $150 billion. FEMA denied North Carolina's request to extend full reimbursement for hurricane recovery, and Pennsylvania's Governor was forced to evacuate after an arsonist set fire to the Governor's Mansion. And finally, Meta's long-awaited antitrust trial begins today — with the FTC arguing its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp were illegal and should be reversed.

Hour 4: 6:05pm- Alvin Bragg Tries to Portray Daniel Penny As the Villain By Banning Key Testimony: Kyle Schnitzer and Steve Janoski of The New York Times writes: “Prosecutors are trying to ban testimony at Daniel Penny's upcoming trial that would detail Jordan Neely's psychiatric history and chronic abuse of the drug K2—something Penny's lawyers argued ‘goes to the heart of any justification defense' in the lightning-rod subway chokehold case. Defense attorneys for the ex-Marine—who faces manslaughter charges for allegedly choking Neely to death on a Manhattan train car in May 2023—want forensic psychiatrist Dr. Alexander Bardey to testify about Neely's abuse of the synthetic cannabinoid at next month's trial. They also want to introduce Neely's voluminous psychiatric records, which include 6,000 pages' worth of material that detail the homeless man's family history, surgeries, prior ‘bad acts' and more, according to court documents.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/09/18/us-news/daniel-penny-manslaughter-trial-da-wants-to-ban-testimony-on-jordan-neelys-psych-history-k-2-abuse-before-subway-chokehold-death/ 6:30pm- Josh Shapiro Forgets His ID, Can't Buy Alcohol While Promoting New Cocktail Bill. Elizabeth Crisp of The Hill writes: “Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) may have been the first consumer denied an alcoholic beverage under a new state law expanding access to canned cocktails. Shapiro, in a celebratory appearance at a Rutter's convenience store in Central Pennsylvania, had hoped to buy some Philadelphia-based Surfside tea and vodka.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 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. Shapiro's Failures Enabled Sexual Harassment,' the National Women's Defense League said in a statement that the Harris vetting team should ‘consider the handling of past complaints of sexual harassment inside the Pennsylvania Governor's office.' The group claims to be a nonpartisan organization dedicated to preventing sexual harassment.” You can read the full article here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/womens-group-to-harris-dump-shapiro-over-sex-case-cover-up 6:30pm- Rich is actually HERE on a summer Friday…but he reveals he may not be here next Friday… 6:35pm- While answering a question from the press for seemingly the first time in weeks, Kamala Harris botched her response to the Russian prisoner swap: "This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy." 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.

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. 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. Shapiro responded by calling Vance a “phony baloney.” 5:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly— Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. 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.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. After a brief update on the prisoner swap with Russia, Scot and Greg discuss the final jockeying among Democrats to be the vice presidential nominee, July's worse-than-expected unemployment report, and Kamala flubbing her first unscripted moment in weeks.First, they examine the state of the Democrats' veepstakes, including some last-minute efforts to pour cold water on the possibility of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro joining the Harris ticket. They also comment on how aggressively some figures are campaigning for the job when historically they have downplayed any interest.Next, they wince as the July unemployment report shows significantly fewer jobs created than expected last month, plus an uptick in the jobless rate and the number of Americans unemployed overall. Is this evidence of a possible recession on the horizon or just a one-month anomaly?Finally, they react to Vice President Harris finally having an unscripted moment on camera. And even with the softest of questions, her typical word salad was back. Scot says Harris would never have survived a full primary campaign and he marvels at the fawning coverage over her campaign despite the fact she's done absolutely nothing of note in the past two weeks, other than raise money.

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 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. 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.
