The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/08/2023): 3:05pm- According to some reports, New York City's air quality has hit its worst level since the 1980s as a result of smoke plumes generated from Canadian wildfires. In the aftermath of the wildfires, members of the left blamed the subsequent low air quality on climate change. 3:15pm- While addressing the press, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy implored residents to remain indoors as the state deals with smoke from wildfires in Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. 3:20pm- According to David Krayden of The Post Millennial, “[t]he Trudeau government continues to insist that wildfires in Canada are the direct result of climate change. This is despite indications that forest mismanagement.” Consequently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is advocating on behalf of a higher carbon tax to combat climate change. You can read Krayden's full article here: https://thepostmillennial.com/trudeau-government-wants-higher-carbon-tax-to-fight-wildfires-claim-climate-change-is-the-cause?utm_campaign=64466 3:30pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial board writes, an “inconvenient truth is that government policies to reduce CO2 emissions will be swamped by wildfire emissions… the journal Science estimated that burning boreal forests in North America and Eurasia in 2021 released 1.76 billion tons of CO2, nearly twice as much as global aviation that year. That's also more than four times New York State's annual emissions and about three times as much as the Inflation Reduction Act's projected reductions in 2030.” The editorial board concludes, “[g[overnment land management policies that prevent wildfires from spreading out of control, such as prescribed burns, would reduce CO2 emissions more than offshore wind or electric-vehicle mandates.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/canada-wildfires-smoke-east-coast-climate-emissions-forest-management-1838d4c5?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 3:40pm- Andrew Follett—contributor at National Review—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “How Defunding the Police Defunded the Economy.” Follett writes, “Murders increased by 39 percent nationwide, from 16,425 in 2019 to 22,900 in 2021, and remain far above pre–‘defund the police' movement levels. But the cost of crime isn't just felt in lives lost, although that is its most tragic impact. Cities that defunded the police have also been economically devastated.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/06/how-defunding-the-police-defunded-the-economy/ 3:50pm- While speaking with Hugh Hewitt, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) reacted to reports that an indictment against Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents is imminent, explaining: “it is very dangerous to feel like the Department of Justice is being weaponized against anyone in this country.” 4:05pm- Daniel Penny, the U.S. Marine veteran who has been charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of Jordan Neely, told Fox News Digital that he “was scared” and that Neely had threatened to kill people on the New York City subway. 4:10pm- While speaking with MSNBC, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was asked about the Canadian wildfires—he suggested that in order to guarantee clean air, the Biden Administration was concentrating on creating more electric vehicle charging stations. Wait. How is that going to put out the fires? 4:20pm- King Phillip is back! While addressing the press, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy implored residents to remain in doors as the state deals with smoke from wildfires in Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. 4:30pm- During his CNN town hall on Wednesday night, host Dana Bash argued with Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence after he stated that irreversible “gender affirming” surgeries should not be performed on children. 4:45pm- Retired New Jersey Police Officer Joseph Valdora joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the need for a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to the pensions of police officers in the state.

Author and investigative journalist Gerald Posner joins Tim to talk about his new book that traces the pharmaceutical industry back to its roots and takes a hard look at just how medical drugs have become one of the most powerful industries in the nation. His book is called, “Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of America.”  In this episode, Gerald details the pharmaceutical industry's origins, how it became a marketing machine, and the current state of the industry and its relationship with society. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Pharma_auphonic.mp3 If you've ever visited your doctor and came away with a prescription to take to your nearest pharmacy, you may not care or be aware of the story behind your prescription. Let's say it's an antibiotic, or a pain killer. In both of those cases, there's not only the story of a health breakthrough that likely has benefited millions, but there's also a business story. And that story can be a bit more complicated. Gerald Posner is an investigative journalist and an author. He's researched the pharmaceutical industry to unearth some of the stories that together tell the larger story. The end result is a 550-page history that may serve as what the New York Times described as the “definitive history of the pharmaceutical industry ‘in its entirety' in a single volume.” But it's no mere reference book. It's a story made up of many stories. Stories within stories. And as with any good story, you have your good characters and your bad ones. While the book is substantive, to say the least, what it represents is five years of long and arduous work that Gerald did to research and write it.
