Kash Patel: “Government Gangsters” & the Deep State

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

6:05pm- Kash Patel—former Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his book, “Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy.” During the conversation, Patel notes that instead of being in Pennsylvania on primary day, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is forced to sit in a New York City courthouse, defending himself against politically motivated charges.

6:30pm- Anti-Israel protests continue to rage on at several college campuses. Over the weekend, a Jewish student journalist at Yale University was stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag, sending her to the hospital. Meanwhile, demonstrations at Columbia University have become so vitriolic that the school has decided to move classes from in-person to an online format for the remainder of the semester—citing a fear for the safety of Jewish students. In audio dating back to 2001, shortly after the terror attacks on September 11th, current Columbia University President Minouche Shafik can be heard outlandishly calling terrorism “a form of protesting.”

6:40pm- During Day 6 of Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial in New York City, Judge Juan M. Merchan and Trump’s legal team clashed over whether the former President violated a court-issued gag order. Additionally, David Becker—the former publisher of The National Enquirer—testified that he would regularly purchase the rights to unflattering stories about Trump and then refuse to publish them—ostensibly burying the story. But is “catch and kill” journalism against the law? Rich notes that you can make the argument it is an ethically questionable practice, but it isn’t illegal.
