The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/21/2025):
3:05pm- Jake Tapper’s new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president’s physical and cognitive decline is due to be released later this week. While Tapper is now reporting on internal stories about Biden’s health decline, why did he ignore the story prior to Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? Notably, during an interview with Lara Trump, Tapper vociferously denied Joe Biden was experiencing any sort of cognitive decline and suggested that people were merely picking on the then-president for suffering from a life-long stutter.

He explains: “We have the most secure border in the most history of the country, but we need to finish it. We need to make it permanent!”

And then when they take the land, they kill the white farmer—and when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them."
