Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber—ready to deliver an inclusive and diverse discussion on the most important topics of the day—giving you better analysis and insight that anyone else—shining a spotlight on the cockroaches of the swamp—and delivering truth and justice just when hope was starting to fade—   Here are the 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says no to Chinese buying land—while a Michigan Congressman moves to block the CCP too—   Number Two— Joe Biden's polling problems are getting worse—as he is losing black voters at an unprecedented rate—and it will spell disaster if it continues and he makes it to Election Night 2024—   Number Three— But well before Election Night 2024—Joe Biden will have to answer for all the failures he has overseen as President in the first part of his first term—   Right now he has the lowest—that's right the lowest approval ratings of any President at this point in their first term—make a note of that and notify the national press corps that seems to have missed that very big point—Joe Biden is far less popular than his predecessor Donald Trump—who according to the latest ABC News Washington Post poll would beat Biden by 6 points if the Election were held today—   And its not going to get any easier going forward—this week as we talked about already—is shaping up to be the worst of his Presidency—and I want you to think about this—Joe Biden just announced his re-election campaign—albeit by video and not live in person—BUT normally a sitting President announcing a fresh run—would get a bump in the polls—BUT instead Biden's numbers are collapsing—and it's because there is not a single issue or policy anyone can point to that would be considered a success—lets be clear—Joe Biden is a failing President—   And no matter how much the media tries to hold the line and pump up the Biden Presidency—the American people have seen enough—and they are pulling the plug—   And in about 48 hours its all going to get dramatically worse—because the border will no longer be defended by Title 42—it will be the Wild West with no real defense at all—   And while Nero fiddles—Rome is burning—the problem is that Biden is playing the part of Nero—and this time around he is not insane—but instead addled with dementia and incompetence—   Its become so bad—that even his media defenders are turning on him—hoping they can create enough distance not to get blamed themselves for this disaster—    For those that are seeing it up close every single day—the endo of Title 42 in a couple of days is nothing short of a complete catastrophe—that will leave a lot more than just border towns and states in ruin—   Yet, despite the overwhelming evidence that the border is not only NOT secure BUT is in fact basically wide open—the whole plan for the past two and a half years is to keep lying about the entire situation—   The numbers however don't lie—6.3 million illegals or more have streamed into America ever since a compromised Joe Biden stumbled into the White House—and treated the meltdown at our southern border as nothing more important than people moving from California to Texas—ZERO urgency to stop the invasion—   No matter how obvious it all is to everyone that the border is open and it's the fault of Joe Biden and his incompetent, not ready for Primetime imbeciles—those inside the West Wing just keep lying—At this point it really is all they have left—just keep lying and hoping people believe it—   And if you are going to go for the gold of gaslighting—I say go for it! If you are going to go for the big lie—I mean go all in—and put it all out there—

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/08/2023): 3:05pm- On Monday, President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a proposal that would mandate airlines compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights—the compensation could include hotels, meals, and/or travel vouchers. 3:30pm- While announcing his administration's new policy proposal forcing airlines to compensate passengers for missed or cancelled flight, Biden blamed airlines for individuals being unable to spend time with their families over the holiday season. The Daily Wire's Ben Zeisloft notes, airlines “experienced holiday travel disruptions last year due to extreme winter weather conditions, staff shortages, and an outdated computer system.” You can read more here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/airlines-may-soon-be-on-the-hook-for-delayed-and-canceled-flights-transportation-dept-says 3:45pm- Guy Ciarrocchi—Real Clear Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial, “The Suburbs Are Pulling Us Apart.” Ciarrocchi writes. “Somewhere, over the last generation, the suburbs had become ground zero for every societal, cultural – and, ultimately, every political – problem in Pennsylvania and in our nation. Think of the battles of just the last few years. The biggest fights over Covid mandates took place in the suburbs – not in rural Pennsylvania, where most people went about their business. Not in Philadelphia, where many could walk to stores or order takeout or delivery, as they did frequently even before the lockdowns.” You can read the Ciarrocchi's full article here: https://www.realclearpennsylvania.com/articles/2023/05/01/the_suburbs_are_pulling_us_apart_896859.html 4:05pm- During ABC's This Week, George Stephanopoulos noted a “brutal” Washington Post/ABC News poll for President Joe Biden—indicating a struggling approval rating, concerns about his age, and a projected 2024 loss in a hypothetical rematch with former President Donald Trump. 4:20pm- According to a report from Politico, the Biden Admin is “bracing for impact” as the Justice Department determines whether or not to charge Hunter Biden. Jonathan Lemire writes, “[i]n conversations, Democrats and senior West Wing aides are downplaying the potential impact, arguing Hunter Biden was a factor in the 2020 election and voters elected his father anyway. They point out the president's top rival, Donald Trump, was just indicted himself. But people close to Biden still worry about the personal toll it will take on a father who has already felt anguish about a son's struggles amid a long history of family tragedy.” You can read Lemire's article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/06/bracing-for-impact-biden-world-preps-for-hunter-biden-fallout-00095636 4:30pm- Appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) explained that he plans to hold a press conference on Wednesday where he will reveal bank records indicating that the Biden family may have taken money from foreign adversaries. 4:40pm- While appearing on PBS's Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, legendary actor Richard Dreyfuss was critical of the “diversity mandates” adopted by the Academy Awards. Under the new rules, films must meet certain diversity hiring quotas in order to be eligible for the Academy's “best picture” nomination. 4:50pm- During an interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, President Joe Biden insisted that his son Hunter “has done nothing wrong”—suggesting that he does not believe the Justice Department will charge him with any crimes. 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: Dr. E.J. Antoni—Economist & Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's announced proposal that would mandate airlines compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights—the compensation could include hotels, meals, and/or travel vouchers. But what is the economic impact of this new policy? How drastically could flight prices increase? 5:15pm- After weeks of media personalities labeling conservative reports that Democrats were seeking to ban gas stoves, Governor Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers made New York the first state to ban the installation of gas stoves in new construction projects. Now, the Biden Administration's Energy Department is passing efficiency regulations that could impact dishwashers. 5:25pm- The Mystery Movie Clip 5:35pm- Rich breaks his microphone during a YouTube livestream…AGAIN! 5:40pm- Speaking with Shannon Bream on Fox News, Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated that the crisis at the U.S. southern border was “caused solely by policies put into place by Joe Biden.” Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot condemned Abbott for busing migrants to sanctuary cities—though, she also stated that the federal government needed to do more to stifle illegal border crossings. 5:50pm- Matt's mustache and Henry's mullet make appearances on The Rich Zeoli Show YouTube livestream. You can subscribe to the WPHT YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/@1210WPHT 6:05pm- During Monday's White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed claims that there is a crisis at the U.S. southern border and explained the Biden Administration is doing everything it can—placing the blame for any border issues on Congressional inaction. 6:15pm- While appearing on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed that the Biden Administration has been preparing for the end of Title 42, and subsequent surge of migrant crossings at the U.S. southern border, for over a year. However, in the very same interview, conceded that migrant processing centers in Columbia and Guatemala won't be functional for several weeks. 6:35pm- A California reparations task force has approved payments of $1.2 million for each black resident to compensate for past discrimination and slavery. But during the meeting, activists argued that the amount paid per black citizen should be $200 million. 6:50pm- World Health Organization Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency…sort of…

"First of all, how desperate are all of us for lightness and optimism and hope, and a sense of possibility in the people who are navigating and steering world affairs? That was really important to me to bring that in. And I think that I see all really dramatic moments as kind of streaked-through with a bit of the absurd. Those are always the moments that stand out to me. If you're not just at a funeral, but you're at a funeral where somebody dropped their purse, and there's a now a thousand things on the floor and a lot of people trying to pretend that there aren't. Those moments, for me, are the moments where our humanity really kind of shows through the cracks. And I was interested in this world that's so much about a facade and so manicured and presentational and looking at those like tragically human moments that pop up right in the middle of all of that. The juxtaposition between those two things, I find to be delightful."Debora Cahn is the Emmy-nominated showrunner and executive producer of Netflix's The Diplomat, a political thriller series starring Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell.

Her parents were both teachers; her father, Robert Gish, was an English professor at the University of Northern Iowa, her mother, Judy, taught at Malcolm Price Laboratory School.

Gish starred in the films, Hiding Out (1987), with Jon Cryer, Mystic Pizza (1988), with Julia Roberts, and on Shag(1988), opposite Phoebe Cates and Bridget Fonda. She also played the lead role, as rape victim "Lyn McKenna", in the TV movie, When He's Not a Stranger (1989). Gish went on to graduate from Cedar Falls' Northern University High School in 1989.

Gish returned to screens in the mid-1990s, with appearances in supporting roles, in films Wyatt Earp (1994), The Last Supper (1995) and critical praise biopic, Nixon (1995). The next year, Gish appeared in the ensemble cast movie, Beautiful Girls (1996).

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber—ready to deliver an inclusive and diverse discussion on the most important topics of the day—giving you better analysis and insight that anyone else—shining a spotlight on the cockroaches of the swamp—and delivering truth and justice just when hope was starting to fade—   Here are the 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— Joe Biden was big champion of fracking right after his crack head kid got hired by Burisma for a phony job paying a million dollars a year in 2014—   Number Two— The Chinese spy balloon fiasco was far worse than we were led to believe—in fact it is a national security disaster—and that is being kind—   Number Three— The Biden Administration pulled the Good Friday news dump hoping to get a report on the massive failure on the pullout from Afghanistan—on the record—BUT not in the headlines—   This is typical leftist maneuvering now— the report has apparently been in the works for 18 months—and yet the Washington Press Corps didn't get to see it—until just a few minutes before they were supposed to ask questions about it—And I can tell you—the game played by the Biden Administration on the press is getting old—even to its defenders who are sick and tired of getting jerked around by these people—   This is starting to be a pattern for the Administration—push something out—gaslight the hell out of the press and basically try to bully them into reporting what the Biden team wants—BUT nobody can forget the colossal failures of Afghanistan—or Joe Biden actually looking at his watch when the 13 Americans killed by a bomb in Kabul at the end of the pullout—were returned to American soil—   For Biden it was the beginning of a free fall in popularity—and his poll numbers have never recovered—in fact—right now—his numbers are cratering again—and this time there may not be a way to climb back out of the hole—   One of the main reasons was what we saw in the briefing room—where the press is obviously agitated and not interested in listening to another daily litany of lies—it seems they are finally over it too—    It seems America is over the 80 year old doddering fool in the West Wing that is putting the entire nation in jeopardy—whether it's the southern border or the Chinese air raid using spy balloons that Biden let glide on through without so much as a whimper—   They are also irritated over the two tier justice system—that jams up a former President on very questionable charges—while the entire Biden family skates on what everyone knows is a hell of a lot more serious matters—like money laundering—and influence peddling—   But it is this mess in Afghanistan that I cannot believe they have brought back to life as if it was a good thing—    But look, its not like this is some surprise—its not—this is part and parcel for the course with these people—they will look you in the face and blame the Republicans for the very things they have been doing—   And they will look you in the eye—and try to change history by lying about what we all know happened with the failures in Afghanistan—   But the Biden team is so used to being covered by the press corps they are getting lazy—and just stating things we all know are just not true—    This is why the Democrats—that could be putting together an unstoppable takeover of politics in America—keep failing—and why three states have gone further right and installed Republican super majorities—Louisiana, Wisconsin—and now North Carolina with this announcement—

Snuffy Walden Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson There are no accidents. House stand-in as he so aptly named hisslef, Emmy-Winning Composer, Snuffy Walden, was just what the doctor ordered. Live from the dining room, with Rufus for the most part chillin' between us, Snuffy got down, got real, letting us in as he seamlessly weaved through music, alcoholism, geographics, hitting big, breaking bad, highs, lows, getting sober, switching gears, success beyond his imaginings, the pandemic abyss, to slowly stepping back out amidst life's challenges. From piano to trombone, finding guitar, playing with BJ Thomas at 14 and strip clubs at 17, DJing, to living in a park with a roadie, Aphrodite in Denver to fronting Stray Dog, rocking like hell, and opening for Emerson, Lake & Palmer around the world, a near-miss with me in '74, drinking and debauchery, recording Songs in The Key of Life with Stevie Wonder, earning a platinum record, being in the passenger seat when Stevie drove––oh yes, he did; playing with Dave Mason at the peak, Chaka Kahn when she was breaking I Feel For You, touring with Eric Burdon and having an epiphany, thanks to longtime friend and bandmate, Michael Ruff, which would change, and save, his life. With all his success before, a few years later, without experience or training, he scored Thirty Something, then The Wonder Years, both Emmy nominees their first year, then meeting Sorkin and doing Sports Night, and then The West Wing, where he won that Emmy with his iconic main title, and then a dozen other Emmy nominations and 51 BMI Awards, representing over a hundred other shows… then the pandemic slowdown to almost shut down, and a recent rebirth doing what he loves and loving what he's doing, committed to turning up the joy in the monitors, because of and in spite of recent news. Snuffy's humility, humanity, and heart soar in his words and music. His dedication to being of service, hIs talent, and his sweetness, are ongoing inspirations to me and countless others. I neglected to say Happy Passover. Historically I've been a second-nighter, and this year is no exception. Tomorrow, Snuffy will be attending his first Seder. Hide the Manischewitz. From both of us.

It's the first holiday of the year (well, it is if you are in the UK). Easter is upon us. Raining, cold and the added benefit of the kids home from school. No point going away for the holidays as most of the time will be spent in a queue waiting to show your new blue passport! What to do? How about staying home and watching some quality TV? That's all very well I hear you say, but how do I know what's good and what's not? Luckily, we have an expert to guide you. Yes, Declan returns to advise you on what's worth seeing – either on catch up on and or something new for the holiday period. Amongst the highlights we talk about are: The Gold (BBC iPlayer) – 6 part series about the search for the villains and the missing gold after the 1983 Brinks Mat robbery Great Expectations (BBC iPlayer) – A new version of the Charles Dickens story, made in a gritty style thanks to writer Steven Knight A Town Called Malice (Now TV or Sky Atlantic) – A crime thriller set in the 1980's as a London gang relocate to the Costa Del Sol Ted Lasso Final Series (Apple TV) – Ted and the gang are back for one last season. Hilarious and heartwarming **The Power (Prime Video)** – A new science fiction series which we discussed years ago with Kirk Doman The Cleaner Season 2 (BBC iPlayer) – the latest from Greg Davies And many more Plenty for everyone, unless you are our Neil. His viewing is just one show – The West Wing, on constant repeat. We have now had to explain to him a number of times that it is not a documentary and the Trump years really did happen. Hopefully we will make the breakthrough we are all praying for and his viewing return to normal shortly. For everyone else, have a great Easter and happy viewing, whether on the small or large screen. See you At The Flicks

Did you ever feel the nagging voice of your intuition telling you to get out or to stop a wedding and then ignore it?  You had dreams of a happy marriage and children and you were trying to will that into existence even when there were red flags waving in your face?My guest, Amanda Lee knows this all too well.  In this week's episode of The Rising Beyond Podcast, Amanda shares her experience of falling in love with her abuser and getting married even when her gut was telling her to get out.  She shares the extreme amount of shame she felt when thinking of telling her family that her relationship was not as wonderful as she made it out to be and that things were getting worse.  An extreme threat of violence to her and her children allowed her to break her silence and force past that shame in order to be “one of the lucky ones.”We discuss the feelings of shame that come up when having to be honest with family and friends and that comes up when having to accept that you have been a victim of domestic violence.A.E. Lee started her career in Pennsylvania politics, and while she had hoped it would be everything like her favorite TV show The West Wing, she quickly learned it was not. Long hours, little pay, and even less respect she decided it was time for a change and embarked on a second career in education. She is now a beloved sixth-grade teacher in Fairfax County, Virginia.She resides there now with her two beautiful children, Ethan and Tessa where she continues her passion for writing and being a domestic violence advocate.Show Links:Amanda's Website Buy Amanda's Book Amanda on InstagramAmanda on LinkedIn Robin Gobbel on the Nervous System Where to find more from Rising Beyond:https://www.risingbeyondpc.com/ https://www.instagram.com/risingbeyondpc/ https://www.facebook.com/risingbeyondpowerandcontrol https://www.linkedin.com/in/sybil-cummin-lpc-acs-50537791/ https://www.pinterest.com/RisingBeyondPC Our FREE Download a Roadmap to Communicating with your Narcissistic Ex https://www.risingbeyondpc.com/free.html

Prophecy Radio episode #76 dives into the late Lance Reddick's body of work, where we talk about his most iconic roles and which of his movies we watched most recently. As always, we also catch you up on all the latest Riordanverse news, including some updated information for the The Sun and the Star tour with Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro. Lastly, we continue our journey through The Kane Chronicles with The Red Pyramid chapter 3. Remember, we're keeping this discussion spoiler-free! New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and updates (00:03:29) Read Riordan has a women's history month spotlight on Gaea. This is your reminder that tickets for the NYC stop of the Sun and the Star book tour are now available. And if you can't see Mark Oshiro on tour for TSATS, be sure to find them on tour for Into the Light. Becky NEEDS you to listen to this Cinelinx interview with Roseanne A. Brown. There's a bit more news we're saving for next week, including a quiz and Rick's latest blog post. Lance Reddick (00:09:07) We talk about where Lance Reddick grew up and how he started off by studying music. The Yale School of Drama has had a lot of famous alumni at this point. Of course, Lance's breakout role was on The Wire, and we talk about how much we'd love to go back and watch it some day. And let's not forget Lost and Fringe. He also put out an album called Contemplations & Remembrances. We've talked a lot about his role as Charon, and also about his imposing presence and deep voice. That deep voice made made him the perfect choice for Commander Zavala in Destiny. Did you tear up when you read about how Destiny players saluted Zavala in the game on the day he died? Because we did. It's really too bad the Resident Evil Netflix show got cancelled. One of the best parts about digging through a prolific actor's IMDb page is searching for their forgotten roles. Did you know Lance made an appearance on The Nanny? Kristen didn't forget that he appeared in an episode of The West Wing. He also had several roles on various Law & Order and CSI shows—as do most actors these days. And let's not forget the throwback that is Beyoncé and Jay-Z's “03 Bonnie & Clyde.” If Karen gets the opportunity to talk about Numb3rs, she will. Can you guess which two roles Lance had within the Batman universe? It's time to talk about the Lance Reddick roles we were already familiar with. White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen kicked off two franchises that Lance Reddick has appeared in. And although Karen wouldn't recommend It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you can see Lance on that show, too. Now it's time to talk about the two new Lance Reddick movies we watched for this episode. Karen heard good things about The Guest, but Kristen isn't sure how she feels about it. Monster Party is not for people who don't like body horror. Lance might not have huge role in either of these movies, but like most of his other portrayals, he makes an impact. We talk about all of Lance's upcoming, unreleased roles. What are we expecting and looking forward to in Lance's portrayal of Zeus in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1? Watch the video of Lance talking about his role as Zeus. The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid (00:58:58) This week, we're reading The Red Pyramid chapter 3. We're so excited that we get Sadie's perspective in this chapter! Why are the police treating these kids like criminals? What's with the icy chill down Sadie's back? Is that inspector evil? Is he in on what's happening? Despite her complicated relationship with her dad, Sadie always wears her necklace. Have you seen an ankh before? Why even bother telling adults the truth if they're not going to believe you!? We talk a little bit about the ongoing conversation around ancient artifacts and repatriation. Was the inspector being super racist toward Carter? Did Carter tell the inspector some sort of cover story, or did the inspector lie to Sadie? Would Thalia and Sadie be best friends, or mortal enemies? Feedback (01:18:03) Henry calls us out on expecting answers in chapter 3. Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 77, which will be a random catch-up episode and will include a portion of an interview with Mark Oshiro about The Sun and the Star before tackling The Red Pyramid chapter 3. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz.
