The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/20/2024):

3:05pm- During a CNN panel discussion, host Dana Bash suggested she is hesitant to play videos of Joe Biden for fear that snippets of the content will be used to portray the president as old and feeble. Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre baselessly claimed that Republicans were using “cheap fakes” to make President Biden look bad. But, as Rich notes, the videos are not fake, and no one is making them look any worse than they otherwise would be—Biden is making himself look bad all on his own.

3:30pm- During last week’s G7 meeting in Italy, a video went viral when Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni appeared to corral President Joe Biden who—at that moment—was staring into the woods. Biden’s campaign team has argued that the video is a “cheap fake,” and that the zoomed in version of the original video fails to display a paratrooper Biden was speaking with. However, as Matt explains, the original version of the video may be even more damning than the “cheap fake!”

3:40pm- Speaking with Anderson Cooper on CNN, New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman revealed that Donald Trump is taking next week’s presidential debate very seriously, working tirelessly to prepare for it.

3:45pm- While appearing on MSNBC, former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd told Katy Tur that Donald Trump appears to be getting his 2016 “swagger” back—which could be bad news for Joe Biden in the 2024 election.

4:05pm- Elizabeth Pipko—Spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s upcoming campaign rally at Temple University’s campus in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, June 22nd. Pipko is a former model, a 2016 Trump campaign staffer, and author of the book, “Finding My Place: Making My Parents’ American Dream Come True.”

4:30pm- If you could give former President Donald Trump one piece of advice prior to next week’s presidential debate, what would it be? Listeners react—explaining that Trump should focus on the economy and foreign policy (not personal insults). Others say Trump should avoid becoming entangled in claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Above all, most listeners agree that Trump must remain positive and optimistic by highlighting his record as president.

5:05pm- Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and Election Attorney Linda Kerns join The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss their tireless efforts to protect the integrity of the 2024 election.

5:20pm- National Review’s Andrew C. McCarthy wonders, “have we seen the last of the Trump trials?” He writes: “I don’t think so. Or let me at least put it this way: I think those who look at the calendar, look at the negative reaction in much of the country to Alvin Bragg’s patently politicized prosecution of [Donald] Trump, and pronounce lawfare at an end are overconfident.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/have-we-seen-the-last-of-the-trump-trials/

5:40pm- On Thursday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the SAFE for Kids Act arguing that “our kids are worth fighting for.” But does this new legislation give the state’s Attorney General far too much regulatory power over social media? It certainly seems like it. Rich notes that the bill also seems to do away with anonymity online.

5:55pm- While appearing on The View, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci said the only crime he is guilty of is “trying to save people’s lives.”

6:05pm- In his latest piece, Shawn McCreesh of The New York Times bizarrely claims Donald Trump is trying to reset expectations for next week’s presidential debate, explaining: “The former president has set a low bar for President Biden’s performance at next week’s matchup. Now, he is preparing supporters for the possibility that Mr. Biden clears it.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/19/us/politics/trump-biden-debate-expectations.html
