The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/04/2023):

3:05pm- On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representative reconvened to decide the next Speaker of the House. The presumptive next Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, fell well short of the 218 needed on both the fourth and fifth ballots—garnering less support on votes four and five than he had received on vote one yesterday.

3:10pm- Speaking to reporters outside the Capitol, Rep. Byron Donalds stated that he “didn’t come to D.C. being interested in becoming Speaker of the House.” On votes four and five, Donalds consistently received 20 votes to become Speaker.

3:30pm- Prior to the 6th vote to decide the House Speakership, Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) nominated Byron Donalds (R-FL) to the Speakership. 

3:45pm- While on the House floor, Rep. Lauren Boebert implored fellow Republicans to vote for Byron Donalds and asked former President Donald Trump to rescind his support for Kevin McCarthy.

4:05pm- Speakership Vote #6: Kevin McCarthy has once again failed to get the 218 votes necessary to become Speaker of the House. Is it time for the Republican party to rally around a new candidate? 

4:10pm- Twitter Files Part 11: On Tuesday, investigative journalist Matt Taibbi released another series of Twitter files—this time documenting why the social media company allowed the intelligence community to suppress and moderate content, specifically references to a lab leak theory as the origins of COVID-19.

4:30pm- The House of Representatives has adjourned until 8pm ET after six failed attempts to select a new Speaker. 

4:45pm- The Centers for Disease Control tweeted: “The best defense is a good offense! Defend yourself against blood clots…” Rich can’t remember government agencies ever issuing blood clot warnings for young athletes in the past. 

4:55pm- After six failed votes to determine a Speaker of the House, are more Republicans willing to defect from Kevin McCarthy?

5:00pm- While appearing on The Guy Benson Show, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) said “we cannot let the terrorist win”—referring to the twenty Republicans refusing to vote for Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker. 

5:10pm- While on MSNBC, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested that Democrats may be open to a “coalition government” if Kevin McCarthy were to approach Democrats for help with the House Speakership vote. 

5:30pm- During an interview with CTV News, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—son of Pierre Trudeau and definitely not Fidel Castro's son—referred to protestors who objected to mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations as tin foil hat conspiracy theorists.

5:45pm- According to a report from Brandon Drey of The Daily Wire, “[m]ajor fast-food chains like White Castle and Chipotle have started employing restaurant robots as labor shortages continue to impact the industry while the price of food increases in the aftermath of COVID and crippling inflation.”

6:05pm- Appearing on Fox News, Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) claimed that Democrats are laughing at Republicans for failing to select a House Speaker.

6:15pm- On 60 Minutes, Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich warned of an unavoidable “mass extinction.” Despite CBS’ alarmist report, Ehrlich’s credibility is questionable. In the 1970’s he famously warned that overpopulation would cause mass starvation and chaos. In response to Ehrlich’s most recent claims, investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger called the report “apocalyptic pseudoscience.”
