The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: In a new editorial for Reason, Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott argue that universities are now using diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) statements to “enforce group think” on campuses. They write: “Yoel Inbar must not be allowed to teach psychology at UCLA—or so a student petition informed the California university's administration this past July. Inbar is an eminent, influential, and highly cited researcher with a Ph.D. in social psychology from Cornell University. There is no question that he is qualified. Anyone worth their salt doing work on political polarization knows Inbar's name. Inbar also jumped through all the hoops UCLA put up for the job, including submitting a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) statement, which is currently all the rage in colleges and universities. He even shares the politics of the majority of the psychology department. But on his podcast, Inbar had expressed relatively mild concerns over the ideological pressures that DEI statements impose and wondered aloud whether they do harm to diversity of thought. As a result of this petition—signed by only 66 students—UCLA did not hire Inbar. And he's not the only academic this has happened to. Far from it.” You can read the full editorial here: https://reason.com/2024/01/06/the-conformity-gauntlet/ A brief debate on deontological ethics. Would Immanuel Kant agree that it is ok to lie if a woman asks you, “does this dress make me look fat?” On Monday, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Dr. Anthony Fauci testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. PLUS, Howard Stern tells his audience that he finally contracted Covid. Now that he has immunity, will he continue to avoid society? While appearing on State of the Union with Jake Tapper, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said “I'm not worried, I'm very concerned” about President Joe Biden having underwhelming support from Black voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Tyler Pager of The Washington Post writes: “Former president Barack Obama has raised questions about the structure of President Biden's reelection campaign, discussing the matter directly with Biden and telling the president's aides and allies the campaign needs to be empowered to make decisions without clearing them with the White House, according to three people familiar with the conversations.” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/06/obama-biden-meeting-campaign-2024/ Is Transylvania a real place?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/08/2024): 3:05pm- Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spent several days in an intensive care unit at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland following elective surgery—though the precise surgery has not been disclosed. Alarmingly, the White House—including President Joe Biden—was not informed of Secretary Austin's incapacitation for more than three days. Equally concerning, while Secretary Austin was in intensive care, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks was on vacation in Puerto Rico. Will anyone be held accountable for this disastrous breakdown in communication? Secretary Austin released a statement on Saturday addressing the issue: “I am very glad to be on the mend and look forward to returning to the Pentagon soon. I also understand the media concerns about transparency and I recognize I could have done a better job ensuring the public was appropriately informed. I commit to doing better.”  3:30pm- While appearing on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said it should be up to the states to determine whether or not Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appears on primary ballots. 3:35pm- While speaking with Symone Sanders on MSNBC, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said states should take “very aggressive action” to keep Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump off their ballot. 3:40pm- #1 Global Best-Selling Author Terry Hayes joins The Rich Zeoli Show to announce he'll be participating in a 1210 WPHT Speaker Series event on February 7th at Rosemont College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

Here we go again: President Biden has just announced his 2024 reelection bid. But has his time in the White House actually convinced voters to give him another four years? Or are even his supporters turning “blah” for Biden? Read more: The video starts out dramatically. Images of the Capitol under attack on Jan. 6, 2021. Grainy footage of a protest on the grounds of the Supreme Court. A musical score to rival a Marvel superhero movie. And then President Biden's voice, announcing his 2024 campaign: “Freedom. Personal freedom is fundamental to us as Americans. That's been the work of my first term. To fight for our democracy,” he says, music soaring under the voice-over of the launch video. “This is not a time to be complacent. That's why I'm running for reelection.” But as the campaign tries to ratchet up excitement for the president's reelection bid, the roadblocks to another four years are also mounting. Rising inflation. Stagnant legislative attempts. And, maybe most importantly, an enthusiasm gap from voters — even the people who supported Biden in 2020. White House reporter Tyler Pager joins “Post Reports” to give a snapshot of the country — and a president — in the run-up to 2024.

Today, a conversation about classified documents and how they keep turning up in places they don't belong — such as the Mar-a-Lago, Florida, estate of former President Donald Trump. The latest revelation in this regard came on Tuesday (January 24), when it was revealed that lawyers for Mike Pence discovered what they described as “a small number” of documents in Pence's Indiana home.Last Friday, the FBI conducted a 13-hour search of President Joe Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, and found an unknown quantity of documents. These are in addition to the material discovered earlier in his garage and in a room adjacent to the garage at the home, and at an office he used in Washington after his tenue as Vice President. Beyond the initial questions of how these classified documents were removed from their original, secure filing locations — and for what purpose — there are the larger questions of who's keeping track of these documents? And is our national security at risk? On Midday today, Tom speaks speak with two individuals with unique perspectives on those questions. Tom's first guest is Tyler Pager, a White House correspondent with The Washington Post since 2021. He previously covered the White House for Politico, and reported on the 2020 presidential campaign for Bloomberg News. Tyler Pager joins us on our digital line from the Post newsroom in Washington, D.C. Then, Tom speaks with Matthew Connelly, a professor of International and Global History at Columbia University and an expert on the US government's system of document classification. The author of several books on political history and international affairs, his latest — due to be published next month — is called The Declassification Engine: What History Reveals about America's Top Secrets, Professor Matthew Connelly joins us on Zoom from New York.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democrats outperformed expectations in Tuesday's midterms, but Republicans still look likely to take back the House. We talk to reporters covering Congress and the White House about what to make of the results we have so far, and what to look for next. Read more:Control of both chambers of Congress remained undecided Wednesday morning after Democrats showed surprising strength in key battleground races on Election Day. On “Post Reports,” we're joined by White House reporter Tyler Pager and Liz Goodwin, who covers Congress for The Post. They talk about the key issues in this race — including democracy and abortion access, which voters supported even in heavily Republican states.In the Senate, races remained uncalled in Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. Democrat John Fetterman won the Senate race in Pennsylvania, defeating Republican Mehmet Oz, who conceded on Wednesday. That was a pickup for Democrats. Republicans prevailed in Ohio and North Carolina, fending off efforts to flip those seats. Democrats retained seats representing New Hampshire, Colorado and Washington state.

On Friday, September 16, the United States could see its first major rail strike and/or rail lockout since the early '90s. Railroad workers have reached the end of their rope after years of enduring dramatic staff cuts that have piled more work onto fewer workers, along with exhausting schedules and draconian attendance policies that have made it impossible to live and reasonably plan their lives. These cost-cutting, profit-maximizing policies are part of a larger, decades-long trend that workers say have destroyed the freight rail industry. For years, quality of service for freight rail customers and shippers, and quality of life for railroad employees, has plummeted, all while prices, profits, and stock buybacks have skyrocketed. While many are understandably concerned about the seismic damage a national rail strike initiated by the unions, or a lockout initiated by the rail carriers, could do to the supply chain, railroad workers are the ones taking a stand to save the supply chain from the corporate greed that has already done irreparable damage to the freight rail industry. In this urgent episode, recorded on Sunday, September 11, we talk with Jay, a longtime train dispatcher and recent guest on the show, and Joe, a locomotive engineer, about the ongoing crisis on the nation's railroads and about the latest updates on the dispute between the rail unions and rail carriers as we countdown to the strike/lockout deadline on 12am EDT, September 16.  Additional links/info below...

There are two stories worth your time this morning: one about Donald Trump in the Wall Street Journal and one about Joe Biden in the Washington Post. They intersect with each other in a way that gets to the heart of the most profound question in American politics.  First: There's a government informant inside Trump's inner circle. (Awake now?)  That's the takeaway from WSJ's Alex Leary, Aruna Viswanatha and Sadie Gurman, who retell the tale of the Mar-a-Lago records caper with important new details. Second: The second story worthy of your time is Michael Scherer, Ashley Parker and Tyler Pager's account of recent meetings between Joe Biden and a circle of policy, political and academic experts from outside the administration. The meetings follow Biden's promise to do more outreach — to seek “more input, more information, more constructive criticism about what I should and shouldn't be doing,” as he put it during a news conference in January.

The bear market is here!  The S&P 500 is more than 20% off its peak and its time for investors to reassess their risks in the stock market.  For many, these losses can be felt harder than gains after such a long period of increases.  Tech stocks are down and the crypto market, which was once seen as a hedge against falling markets and inflation is also seeing huge drops.  Suzanne Wooley, personal finance reporter at Bloomberg News, joins us for more. Next, after more than 2 years of the pandemic, we are seeing that Covid is making the flu and other common viruses act in unfamiliar ways.  Behavioral changes like stay-at-home orders, masking and social distancing could be responsible for viral shifts.  For instance, at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital, children are being admitted with a range of seven different respiratory viruses, many of which are out of season and seem to be more virulent.  Frances Stead Sellers, senior writer at The Washington Post, joins us for how everything is out of whack. Finally, President Biden is increasingly growing frustrated with rising prices and the inability of the WH to bring down inflation.  The American people are even more so frustrated as they continued to get hammered with no end in sight.  Tyler Pager, White House reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for how Biden is worried about messaging and ineffective policies impacting the economy.

Nineteen 4th graders gunned down in yet another mass school shooting in America. The shooter used the mass shooters' weapon of choice, an AR-15, which is notable for the way the bullets shred whatever they hit on impact. Families trying to find out the fate of their children were asked to provide DNA samples because many of the bodies were so horribly destroyed that the faces are unidentifiable. But the Republicans in Congress don't think an assault weapons ban is a good idea. Today on the show, another group therapy session, because we need it. We'll check in at the top of the show with Tyler Pager who's leading the Washington Post's coverage of the White House response to yesterday's massacre in Texas. Then I'll open the phones for your thoughts on what we do now. 954-889-6410 or Skype to nicolesandler. I'm out of answers. And I already played Cheryl Wheeler's "If It Were Up To Me" at the end of yesterday's show...when I looked at my email and saw the death toll had been raised from 1 student (as it was when the show started yesterday) to 14. Sadly, when I awoke this morning, the number was 19. Nineteen kids and two adults, dead for no reason at all... We are seriously broken.

Today's program includes President Biden's announcement of a new rule to regulate and limit the proliferation of so-called “ghost guns” and nominates Steve Dettelbach to be ATF director. We'll also have more on Ukraine and the week ahead in Washington with Tyler Pager of The Washington Post. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

President Biden arrives in Brussels for an emergency NATO summit as the U.S. government formally announces Russia has committed war crimes. It comes as NATO estimates at least 7,000 Russian troops have died since invading Ukraine. Meantime, culture wars dominate Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearings. And Madeleine Albright, the first female secretary of state dies at 84. Adm. James Stavridis, Tyler Pager, Yamiche Alcindor, Neal Katyal, James Elder and Michael Beschloss join.

Inflation. COVID-19. Supply Chain Issues. President Biden is sticking to his script despite the mounting challenges around him. But Washington Post reporter Tyler Pager says Democrats across the country are concerned that the messaging coming out of The White House is damaging the Democratic brand with voters.

Former congressman from El Paso and Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, has thrown his hat in the ring again… this time into the Texas governor's race. He has an uphill battle in a solidly red state that hasn't chosen a Democratic governor since 1991 and there is also a wild card factor if actor Matthew McConaughey chooses to run. David Siders, national political reporter at Politico, joins us O'Rourke's announcement. Next, President Biden and his administration have had a messaging problem when it comes to inflation, coronavirus and Afghanistan. It is causing Democrats to worry whether his is underestimating the scale of the challenges we face in the country. Constant re-branding of legislative priorities have also made it tough to gain traction all while approval ratings keep dropping. Tyler Pager, White House reporter at the Washington Post, joins us for what to know. Finally, phone notifications are driving people crazy. The constant pings and chirps are causing distractions as our communication has become more fragmented. Work and personal messages are blurring together for a non-stop flow of distractions and when we lose out focus, it can take an average of 25 minutes to get back on track. Rachel Feintzeig, work and life columnist at the WSJ, joins us for how it can be hard to get anything done.

 What kind of leadership is needed? White House reporter, Tyler Pager has some insights. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tyler Pager, Washington Post White House reporter, unpacks President Biden's efforts to lower gun violence, which is rising across the country, and the political considerations Democrats must make as different wings of the party diverge on how to handle crime and policing.

Hoy en Día a Día, comenzamos conversando con Tyler Pager, corresponsal en la Casa Blanca de The Washington Post, acerca del anuncio de Biden sobre que Kamala Harris liderará un impulso para proteger las votaciones en respuesta a las recientes restricciones: “Harris se reuniría con grupos de activistas defensores del derecho al voto… La solución podría estar en lograr una legislación a nivel nacional desde el Congreso en Washington, pero siempre van a tener el problema del filibuster”, nos dijo. Desde Caracas, nos atendió el economista Luis Oliveros, quien nos habló sobre el plazo de seis meses que el gobierno de EE.UU le dio a Chevron y otras empresas para liquidar sus operaciones en Venezuela: “Chevron ha disminuido notablemente su nómina en Venezuela y tiene prohibiciones de hacer prácticamente cualquier cosa… Imagino que EE.UU dio este plazo a ver qué ocurre con las negociaciones con el gobierno”, comentó. También destacó que “Venezuela, luego de tocar un fondo con 330.000 barriles diarios, pudo llegar a estos 550.000 barriles y se estabilizó un poco”, sin embargo, "Venezuela está en la disyuntiva de producir para las refinerías o producir para las exportaciones. Esto es porque no tiene suficiente producción para poder alimentar a esas dos”. Con el periodista argentino en Italia, Sergio Mora, abordamos el tema de la penalización a delitos de abusos y pedofilia cometidos por sacerdotes: “Este es un proceso que inició con Benedicto XVI y cada vez más se están poniendo las barreras justas para acabar con esa peste que son esas personas de Iglesia que abusaron de menores”, nos contó, y explicó que “No es que con esta ley el peligro de abuso queda excluido, porque siempre va a haber peligro de abuso… Lo que se quiere, en primer lugar, es prevenir y que no suceda más”. También nos atendió Laurie Ann Ximénez, doctora en ciencias médicas y microbiología, con quien hablamos sobre el primer caso de gripe aviar H10N3 en humanos detectado en China: “En este momento, no hay nada que sea equiparable entre el Covid-19 y la gripe aviar H10N3”, opinó, ya que “Es demasiado temprano para sonar una alarma en donde no existe”. “Si se demuestra la transmisión de la gripe aviar H10N3 entre seres humanos, entonces tendremos algo de qué sí estar alarmados”, explicó la doctora. Y para cerrar, el jefe de la Unidad de Investigación Social del periódico La Prensa Gráfica, Edwin Segura, nos habló sobre el alto nivel de aprobación de Nayib Bukele en El Salvador: “Las victorias electorales de Bukele son reales”, dijo, pero destacó que el gobierno se mueve por la propaganda y el ocultamiento de información: “Los periodistas en El Salvador no podemos entrar a los hospitales, y no sabemos cómo está la ocupación hospitalaria”.

Hoy en Día a Día, comenzamos conversando con el corresponsal en la Casa Blanca de The Washington Post, Tyler Pager, sobre escasez de combustible en el sureste de Estados Unidos: “El presidente Biden pidió calma y que no entren en pánico… Ha habido largas filas de gasolina para surtir gasolina, pero tanto el presidente Biden como Colonial han dicho que el suministro se va a normalizar por completo en los días venideros”, nos explicó. El abogado, profesor de derecho internacional y editor de Analitica.com, Emilio Figueredo, nos habló sobre el apoyo de la comunidad internacional al nuevo proceso de negociación en Venezuela: “Esta propuesta en realidad es articulada por actores de la comunidad internacional, como USA, Canadá y países de Europa”, dijo. Además, destacó que: “Hay tres cosas importantes en el planteamiento de Guaidó: habla de la justicia transicional, de garantías para ambas partes y de participación de los países internacionales” y comentó: “Se dice que en los próximos días se anunciarán los equipos negociadores por ambos lados”. Desde Miami nos atendió el Dr. Carlos Torres-Viera, médico infectólogo de la South Miami Hospital y Homestead Hospital, para hablarnos sobre la nueva medida en la que la población vacunada de EE.UU podrá ir sin mascarilla en espacios cerrados: “Este es un reconocimiento de que la vacuna es efectiva en prevenir la infección”. Sin embargo, explicó que “Es una medida complicada de operar, ya que personas no vacunadas podrían hacerlo también y esto facilitaría el incremento de casos en los próximos días… Una persona dueña de un comercio no sabe quién está vacunado y quién no”. También nos atendió Loris Zanatta, historiador y autor del libro ‘Fidel Castro: el último rey católico’, quien nos habló sobre el fenómeno del populismo: “En Latinoamérica la política se sigue viviendo – especialmente a nivel popular – como una prolongación de la religión, y el líder populista es un redentor que promete la expiación de los pecados… El populismo no es una salvación, sino una ilusión de salvación”, comentó. También opinó que “El núcleo ideal del populismo no es de derecha ni de izquierda, el problema con el populismo es que no es pluralista, sino que piensa en un pueblo mítico que está basado en una comunidad de fe”. Y para cerrar, el presidente de San Vicente de Paul en Weston, Douglas Parra, nos habló sobre el evento ‘Contigo Venezuela’: “A través de esta iniciativa buscamos ayudar a los venezolanos más necesitados en nuestro país… Tendremos la grata compañía de más de 30 artistas, tales como Wilmer Ramírez, Alejandra Gómez, Huáscar Barradas, El Pollo Brito, Pedrito Castillo, C4 Trío, entre muchos otros”, nos dijo. Parra nos recordó que el evento “Va a tener lugar hoy 14 de mayo, a las 7pm… La manera de entrar será a través de nuestra página web: www.contigovenezuela.org y allí estará el link establecido para acceder”.

It follows an ongoing feud between Cheney and former President Trump. Tyler Pager, White House reporter for The Washington Post, joins CBSN's Lana Zak with his analysis. Some of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach, most notably Cheney and Rep.
