The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/10/2024):
3:05pm- TD Bank Pleads Guilty in Money-Laundering Case. Stacy Cowley, Matthew Goldenstein, and Rob Copeland of The New York Times write: “TD Bank agreed to pay about $3 billion in fines to U.S. authorities and pleaded guilty on Thursday to money-laundering-related charges in a case brought by federal prosecutors, who said the Canadian bank made it ‘convenient’ for criminals to open accounts, transfer funds and even deposit seven-figure sums of cash at its branches. The combined penalties are the largest ever imposed by U.S. authorities on a bank for violating anti-money-laundering laws, and include an ‘asset cap’ that prevents TD Bank from growing any bigger than its current size.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/10/business/td-bank-fine.html
3:20pm- While speaking to the press in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, President Joe Biden claimed that some Americans received “death penalties” as a result of disinformation on hurricanes spreading online. But who on earth has suggested that the hurricane wasn’t real? The only thing the Biden Administration has specifically labeled as “disinformation” is the claim that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) used a portion of its funding to relocate undocumented migrants domestically—which did occur, according to FEMA’s own website. Is the Biden Administration preparing to use this natural disaster as an excuse to censor speech online?
3:30pm- Tim Murtaugh—Columnist for The Washington Times & Senior Advisor to the Trump 2024 Campaign—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Donald Trump’s campaign rallies in Scranton and Reading, Pennsylvania on Wednesday. If the election were held today, would Trump win PA? It certainly seems like it because the state’s “electorate is much more Republican than it was in 2020.”
4:00pm- Democrats Hit the Panic Button. Amie Parnes of The Hill writes, “Democrats’ nerves are at an all-time high. Two months ago—even a month ago—they were feeling bullish about Vice President Harris’s prospects of defeating former President Trump. But now, with less than a month to go until Election Day, they’re increasingly worried about a number of issues plaguing the Democratic nominee’s campaign…There’s also concern on everything from the static poll numbers in the race to the vice president’s messaging and even her standing with men—not just white men but Black and Hispanic men, too.” You can read the full article here: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4922690-democrats-nervous-kamala-harris-campaign/
4:30pm- While speaking with Bill Whitaker of “60 Minutes,” Kamala Harris was asked about becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee without participating in the primary process. She was unable to answer the question directly.
4:40pm- During a press conference on Thursday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed he was working on limiting “hate speech” on online platforms. Is his department preparing to censor speech?
4:50pm- Rich hilariously wonders: What qualifies as hate speech, according to Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas? For example, Rich HATES pineapple pizza. Is that enough to have him thrown in prison?
5:00pm- Phil Kerpen—President of American Commitment—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to react to a Congressional Budget Office report that estimates the federal government’s 2024 deficit has exceeded $1.8 trillion, which comes at a time when there is no war involving U.S. forces, no pandemic, and no financial crisis. How did spending get so out of control?
5:20pm- Rich tries playing video clips on YouTube…and it works!!
5:35pm- Rico Elmore—Vice Chairman Republican Committee of Beaver County—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his efforts to turn Pennsylvania red in November. Elmore, a veteran, famously provided first aid to those wounded during the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Butler, PA.
