The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/25/2024): 3:05pm- During yesterday’s show, Director of Strategic Communications at the Republican National Committee Tommy Pigott highlighted the difference between Donald Trump’s weekend appearance in Philadelphia and Joe Biden’s recent trip to the city—Trump left a $500 tip at Tony & Nick’s Steaks, while Joe Biden got confused in a Wawa. Pigott explained: “If the Biden campaign actually wanted to put these concerns about Joe Biden to bed, they would put him out there more in unscripted environments—but they don’t…Joe Biden cannot do anything without being perpetually confused.” Will Biden be able to hold it together for 90-minutes during Thursday’s debate? 3:20pm- Media Attacks Judge Aileen Cannon: In his latest opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, William McGurn writes of the “vilification of Judge Cannon” by The New York Times’s news division: “It’s similar to the statement by 51 former intelligence operatives two weeks before the 2020 election that Hunter Biden’s laptop “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Their statement was sprinkled with caveats that didn’t matter because its only job was to give Joe Biden something to get him through the last crucial days of the election.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/taking-down-judge-aileen-cannon-1c4bf9ab?mod=opinion_lead_pos9 3:35pm- During MSNBC’s Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough attacked the credibility of Judge Aileen Cannon—the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida judge who is overseeing Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents case. Similarly, while appearing on CNN, former White House Ethics Czar Norm Eisen questioned Judge Cannon’s motives—suggesting she is simply doing the bidding of Donald Trump. Rich explains that the media is making a coordinated effort to delegitimize Judge Cannon. 3:45pm- Will Donald Trump be able to attend the Republican National Convention? On July 11th, Trump has his sentencing hearing for his conviction in the “hush money” trial involving payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Rich notes that Trump could—unjustly—be sentenced to house arrest or even prison time. The RNC convention begins on July 15th and ends on July 18th. 4:05pm- While appearing on CNN, National Press Secretary for the 2024 Trump Campaign Karoline Leavitt had her interview cut short by anchor Kasie Hunt. Hunt accused Leavitt of attacking her CNN colleagues Jake Tapper and Dana Bash by suggesting the two moderators of Thursday’s debate have regularly expressed disdain for Donald Trump and support for Joe Biden. A montage pieced together by Newsbusters proves Leavitt’s point—Tapper and Bash are not objective. One clip even shows Tapper referring to Trump’s presidency as a “national nightmare.” 4:10pm- Nicholas Fondacaro of Newsbusters reports: “CNN could be facing a defamation liability rivaling or exceeding the $787 million Fox News paid out to Dominion Voting Systems. NewsBusters recently reported on Florida’s First District Court of Appeals affirming that plaintiff Zachary Young could seek punitive damages, in addition to economic and emotional damages, from the Cable News Network in a civil trial after they allegedly defamed him regarding his work in getting people out of Afghanistan.” He continues: “The case hinges on CNN’s use of the phrases ‘black market’ and ‘exploited’ to describe Young’s legitimate business helping corporately sponsored Afghans escape the country as it collapsed around them and the Taliban retook control.” Fondacaro writes that Young ultimately saved 24 people.
