The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/08/2024):

3:05pm- Ron DeSantis vs Kamala Harris. On Tuesday, NBC News reported that Governor Ron DeSantis has been ignoring phone calls from Vice President Kamala Harris as Florida prepares for Hurricane Milton. During a press conference, DeSantis flatly denied ever ignoring Harris’s attempts to reach him and insisted “this is not a time for politics.” Meanwhile, Harris publicly accused DeSantis of not putting the people of Florida first. But on Tuesday President Joe Biden came to DeSantis’s defense—applauding his performance during the crisis, saying the governor is doing a great job. So, why is Harris lying and purposefully politicizing Hurricane Milton?

3:30- While appearing on “60 Minutes,” Kamala Harris delivered a lengthy, nonsensical response to one of host Bill Whitaker’s questions. But don’t worry—the program went back and edited the audio to make the answer seem coherent.

3:40pm- Despite help via the editor, Kamala Harris’s “60 Minutes” interview was still a mess. She struggled to answer questions about the U.S. border, grocery prices, and foreign policy. Similarly, her appearance on The View was not without errors. At one point she explained that she would not have changed any of President Joe Biden’s policies. So, how exactly can she continue to call herself the candidate of change? According to National Review, Harris realized her mistake and attempted to draw a distinction between her hypothetical presidency and Biden’s—but all she could come up with was promising to appoint a Republican to her cabinet. Rich and Matt think it’s safe to presume she isn’t planning to appoint Mike Lee or Rand Paul.

3:50pm- Colorado Supreme Court Dismisses Transgender-Cake Lawsuit Against Christian Baker Jack Phillips. David Zimmermann of National Review writes: “The Colorado supreme court on Tuesday dismissed the latest lawsuit against Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips, who was accused in the most recent suit of discriminating against a transgender attorney by refusing to bake a gender-transition cake. While ruling in favor of the Christian baker, the state supreme court did not weigh in on Phillips’s free-speech rights. Rather, it dismissed the case on a technicality: Plaintiff Autumn Scardina, a man identifying as a woman, did not file the lawsuit correctly in Colorado.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/colorado-supreme-court-dismisses-transgender-cake-lawsuit-against-christian-baker-jack-phillips/

4:05pm- Abel Maldonado—Former Lieutenant Governor of California & Surrogate for Donald Trump—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Kamala Harris’s appearance on The View where she bizarrely stated she wouldn’t change any of President Joe Biden’s policies. Maldonado also reacts to polling which indicates Trump is surging in popularity within the Hispanic community. PLUS Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law banning local governments from requiring identification to vote in California.

4:30pm- Democrats Want to Kill the Filibuster Because John Legend Told Them To. Kristina Peterson, Tarini Parti, and Lindsay Wise of The Wall Street Journal report: “It wasn’t a topic Senate Democrats were expecting musician John Legend to ask them about. But during a 2019 donor event held at Legend’s California home, the pop star pressed lawmakers on how they would actually pass the policies they were proposing—given the hurdle of the Senate filibuster. That rule requires 60 votes for most bills to advance, rather than a simple majority, and Legend wanted Democrats to end it.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/filibuster-senate-kamala-harris-election-2024-0c407e48?mod=hp_lead_pos11
