4:25pm- Cancel Culture Fail: Zach Jewell of The Daily Wire writes, “Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker signed a 4-year $26 million contract extension on Monday, making him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL on a per-year basis…The three-time Super Bowl-winning kicker sparked outrage after telling the graduating class that his success was all because ‘a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.’ During the address, Butker also slammed Pride Month and President Joe Biden’s pro-abortion policies.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/cancel-culture-fail-harrison-butker-signs-deal-making-him-highest-paid-kicker-in-nfl

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

3:05pm- On Tuesday night, Kamala Harris introduced her Vice Presidential pick—Minnesota Governor Tim Walz—while appearing at a campaign event at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, PA. Will Walz provide any sort of electoral advantage in the 2024 presidential race? Examining Walz’s 2022 gubernatorial race, NBC election analyst Steve Kornacki concludes that Walz relied heavily on traditional Democrat voters—and didn’t have much luck appealing to rural voters or moderates. Videos of Walz making outlandish, far-left statements are now circulating throughout social media. In one clip, Walz explains that socialism is synonymous with neighborliness. While speaking at the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Convention in 2018, Walz told attendees that his pro-abortion stance was so radical that even former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested he should moderate his position. In perhaps the most damaging audio, Walz can be heard claiming “there is no guarantee to free speech” if the government determines it is “misinformation" or “hate speech.”  

3:15pm- Director of Public Prosecutions of England and Wales Stephen Parkinson explained that the United Kingdom will criminally punish citizens that repost messages that the government deems “hateful.” He also explained that he will appropriate “dedicated police officers” to monitor social media. With Democrat Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz having stated that the First Amendment shouldn’t extend to speech the government considers “misinformation” or “hate speech,” could similar laws restricting speech be part of the Harris-Walz campaign’s platform?

3:20pm- JD Vance Accuses Tim Walz of Lying About Military Service: Caitlin Doornbos and Josh Christenson of The New York Post write, “veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of “embellishing” his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit’s 2005 deployment to Iraq. In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018 as he first ran for governor, retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr said Walz retired from his 24-year tenure in the National Guard after learning that his battalion would be deployed to Iraq, despite allegedly assuring his fellow troops he would join them.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/08/06/us-news/tim-walz-embellished-military-career-for-years-dropped-from-national-guard-unit-ahead-of-iraq-deployment/

3:35pm- On his way to a campaign event in Wisconsin (a state where Kamala Harris is also actively campaigning), JD Vance walked up to Air Force 2 on the tarmac to speak with reports—noting that he was willing to answer their questions while Harris continues to avoid them.

3:40pm- While appearing on Fox News, Donald Trump called the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket the “most radical” in U.S. history.

That includes her party’s use of lawfare against political opponents, as an episode while she was California Attorney General reminds us. Ms. Harris made headlines a decade ago by threatening to punish nonprofit groups that refused to turn over unredacted donor information. She demanded they hand to the state their federal IRS Form 990 Schedule B in the name of discovering ‘self dealing’ or ‘improper loans.’ The real purpose was to learn the names of conservative donors and chill future political giving—that is, political speech…The [Supreme Court] said California’s claim that it would protect donor information lacked credibility, since during the litigation plaintiffs discovered nearly 2,000 Schedule B forms ‘inadvertently posted to the Attorney General’s website’ It noted that the petitioners and donors faced ‘threats’ and ‘retaliation.’” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/kamala-harris-california-attorney-general-lawfare-americans-for-prosperity-foundation-v-bonta-supreme-court-611a96f7?mod=opinion_lead_pos2

5:40pm- Tim Walz is the King of Covid Waste: Jim Geraghty of National Review writes that “the state’s handing hundreds of millions of dollars to Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future, the largest Covid-aid fraud scheme in the country. Announcing the federal fraud indictment against the Feeding Our Future nonprofit, FBI director Christopher Wray called it ‘an egregious plot to steal public funds meant to care for children in need in what amounts to the largest pandemic relief fraud scheme yet. The defendants went to great lengths to exploit a program designed to feed underserved children in Minnesota amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, fraudulently diverting millions of dollars designated for the program for their own personal gain.’ The nonprofit reportedly used a quarter of a billion dollars in federal funds to purchase luxury cars, houses, jewelry, and coastal resort property abroad. What does this have to do with Governor Tim Walz, you ask? Well, a state legislative audit concluded that the Minnesota Department of Education was asleep at the wheel and for years had ignored red flags concerning the nonprofit…Every state government deals with waste, fraud, and abuse. But no other state has ever gotten taken to the cleaners to the tune of a quarter of a billion dollars.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/harris-vp-short-lister-comes-loaded-with-baggage/

It didn’t bite her, but she needed a sheriff’s deputy, a county health nurse, state animal control, the CDC, and an E.R. doctor to tell her what to do about that.

6:10pm- Fetterman Warns Kamala’s Team About Shapiro: Holly Otterbein of Politico writes: “Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is concerned about the possibility that Vice President Kamala Harris might choose his state’s governor, Josh Shapiro, as her running mate, and his advisers have privately relayed those worries to Harris’ team, according to three people familiar with the conversations. Fetterman’s advisers suggested to Harris’ team that the senator believes that Shapiro is excessively focused on his own personal ambitions. His reservations about Shapiro reflect a long-running rivalry between the two ambitious Democrats, who have risen on parallel tracks in a politically crucial state.” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/03/fetterman-shapiro-harris-vp-00172557

6:15pm- Josh Shapiro Wants To Be Barack Obama: Katie Glueck of The New York Times writes: “Mr. Shapiro described Mr. Obama as someone ‘whose example I’ve tried to emulate’ in an interview last week, but he declined to comment on ‘any communications that I have with President Obama.’ Some have suggested—sometimes lightheartedly, sometimes mockingly—that Mr. Shapiro has taken his goal of emulating Mr. Obama’s example literally. Among the likenesses: They both managed to end up with family dogs named ‘Bo.’ And Mr. Shapiro’s cadence, rhythms and sometimes even hand gestures can seem so reminiscent of the former president’s that some people have started jokingly referring online to Mr. Shapiro, who is Jewish, as ‘Baruch Obama.’” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/08/05/us/harris-trump-election

Josh Shapiro (D) is now claiming that after his Secretary of Legislative Affairs had been accused by a subordinate of sexual misconduct and harassment in the workplace in 2023, he did not find out about either the accusations or the resulting investigation until ‘months after’ the events. The new revelation, stemming from a statement made by Shapiro’s spokesperson to the New York Times, raises a fresh set of questions, especially given that the governor met with a number of female state senators soon after news of the scandal broke to reassure them that his office took workplace sexual harassment seriously.” You can read the full article here: https://broadandliberty.com/2024/08/04/shapiro-claims-he-didnt-know-of-sexual-misconduct-allegations-against-his-staffer-until-months-later/
